Proactively give up compensation?

What about such a thing?

Who thinks that money is too much? This has nothing to do with moral sentiment. It is the nature of people seeking profit and avoiding harm! Not to mention that now, even after a thousand years, I have never seen any project that occupys land. People don’t need to compensate them!

It's obviously nonsense!

Li Mu snorted coldly, knocked his fingers on the table, and the sweat beads on Wang Rui's forehead fell down. He knew that he had something wrong with doing this. But if he followed the standards set by Li Mu, how much would it cost!

For example, the price in the hearts of ordinary people is five jin of money, so they are already satisfied. You have to give fifteen jin, but you can’t repay it if you don’t give it! What’s the point of this extra ten jin of money?

He will only keep those troublemakers more and more clever.

As time passed, there were more and more sweat beads on Wang Rui's forehead. Just as he was about to be unable to hold on and tell the truth, Li Mu spoke up and said, "Precisely the compensation you have given to each household and submit a booklet. In addition, I will secretly send someone to investigate whether there is any coercion. If so, your Wang family in Langya will retreat."

Wang Ruiru received a general amnesty and hurriedly agreed.

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu in surprise. It was obvious that Li Shimin did not expect that he would do this. According to Li Shimin's understanding of Li Mu, he had to kill Wang Rui, but Li Mu took a step back today, which made Li Shimin a little confused.

Since it was almost noon, Gu Sizhi naturally prepared a banquet. The next agenda was left in the afternoon before continuing. Li Mu originally planned to have a table with Gu Sizhi, Wang Rui and others, but he was worried that he would neglect Li Shimin. So he ordered people to send the food into the room on the grounds of his occasional discomfort.

The doctor whom Gu Sizhi and Wang Rui were also blocked outside the door. The two of them wandered around the door for a while, and tried to open their mouths and say something several times, but in the end they didn't dare and retreated angrily.

Walking through the corridor, Gu Sizhi couldn't help but complain, saying, "Tell you not to save that amount of money, but you just can't bear to leave it. Now, you've angered the Marquis? You don't know the Marquis' temper. Isn't this not to be happy with yourself?"

"Old man, don't push them all at the same time." Wang Rui stopped doing it on the spot and said, "I don't know who told me, I've given too much to keep my appetite in order, so it will be difficult to do things in the future. Now you are a good person, so you shouldn't be like this!"

Gu Siyi was exposed to his age and was shaking his face, and he shook his sleeves and said, "Whatever you say, the Marquis will get angry, I won't push the tank for you."

After saying that, he left, Wang Rui hurriedly chased after him. If Li Mu really got angry, wouldn’t he wait to die if he didn’t plead? He couldn’t make any friends with Li Mu, and he had to be the old guy Gu Sizhi, who could help more or less.

In the room, Li Mu lay at the door and looked at it. He confirmed that there was no one nearby and immediately changed into another face. He came to the table and asked Li Shimin to sit down, then stayed by his side and served him diligently.

Li Shimin, however, said with a stern face: "The boss is just an account, but I can't afford it."

"Oh, Your Majesty, why are you still taking the joke seriously? Someone is there, and we pretend to be there. No one is here, so how dare I rush overthrow it?" Eunuch Gao listened, and couldn't help but curl his lips, and said in his heart, "We are not human."

Li Mu asked Eunuch Gao to sit down and eat together. Eunuch Gao looked at Li Shimin, and after getting permission, he sat down next to him. He felt a little relieved. According to the rules, he was not qualified to sit down and have a place with Li Shimin.

After drinking a glass of Jiangnan rice wine, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown. He was used to drinking the wine from Bashang wine shop. He always felt uncomfortable when drinking this wine from Jiangnan workshop.

At this time, no one was there, and Li Shimin asked the doubt in his heart: "When Wang Rui did not fulfill your request, why did you spare him? This is not like you!"

"Oh!" Li Mu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, aren't this difficult?" Li Mu began to complain: "Although I rely on the majesty of Your Majesty and the authority I gave me to pull up this stall, but I only have one person after all, and I can't do everything in every detail. Although I think about it, I still have to find someone to do it in detail, right?"

Li Mu sighed again: "After all, Jiangnan is the original family, and the minister is from outside. If the minister is too tight, it is easy to have a lip service. At that time, I will not be able to do anything I want to do."

Li Shimin understood that Li Mu was domineering and doing whatever he wanted when he was in Chang'an. That was because Chang'an was the capital and was completely under the control of the court. No matter what he did, he could provide him with a guarantee, so he was fearless. In Jiangnan, the court's control was very weak, and he still had to rely on these people to do things, so he still had to stay at the front line of people and meet him in the future."

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and said, "So you kid also has a time to compromise, and you have grown up."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Actually, I am not compromising. In fact, I have foreseeed the request of my father. Your Majesty has read historical books, and have you ever seen a new policy that is fully implemented? They are all discounted. As long as you can do most of them, I am content. Now these guys' small actions are still within my tolerance, so I deliberately gave him a face but did not expose it. He also understood in his heart that these small actions are just as a handle, and they will be used in the future. Isn't it beautiful to take them out and knock them at any time?"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, in fact, this is the way of the emperor. The so-called "not deaf or blind" is not allowed to be a family. Li Mu's growth rate once again exceeded Li Shimin's expectations.

Li Mu continued, "Your Majesty, nothing in this world is for no reason. When I come to Jiangnan, I can quickly seize power from these prominent families. That is not my ability. It is because they are not sure what I want to do. In addition, the power given by Your Majesty, the compromise that I have done before was reached under various conditions. But this kind of compromise is not permanent. The prominent families in Jiangnan have a deep foundation and cannot be shaken by my coercion. If they cannot give them the benefits that they can see, they will inevitably regret it. This is a certain thing."

"The reason why these prominent families in Jiangnan are persecuted by ministers is nothing more than that because they can do things! As long as they can move from victory to victory, their voice can become larger and larger, and they can express themselves into a constitution, and speak according to the law. Everything is correct. To put it bluntly, what they respect is not the ministers or His Majesty, but interests. They are willing to give out some of the benefits first, in exchange for greater interests. If they cannot satisfy their appetite, everything will be calculated, and then there will be greater chaos in Jiangnan."

"So I set the standards more harshly. It's like a businessman doing business, asking for a price everywhere to pay the money. I want one hundred coins, and he dares to say eighty coins with the courage. In fact, my heart's price is fifty coins. But if I want fifty coins, they have to talk about it again, and at that time, I will lose money."

Li Mu took a few bites of food and said, "I have already calculated before doing things. Now the things that the prominent tribes in Jiangnan will pay back within three to five years. So no matter what, as long as things can be advanced, they will not be able to compensate. If they cannot compensate, they can go on the business and do it, and Jiangnan will be stable. When Jiangnan is completely built, this place will become the granary of the Tang Dynasty. By then, Jiangnan alone can provide half of the money and food for the Tang Dynasty, and Your Majesty will be free of worries."

Li Shimin was not fooled by Li Mu's cake painting technique. He frowned and said, "You said that you will have to make a profit in three to five years. Just by making a profit, can they be satisfied?"

"Your Majesty, of course they will be satisfied." Li Mu smiled confidently and said, "Your Majesty still didn't see the real problem of these so-called Jiangnan prominent families."

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is the problem?"

Li Mu didn't care, saying, "The five surnames and seven sects are mostly northern families. Although the Jiangnan prominent clans are extraordinary, none of them can be called top-notch. Why? Because these people are far away from the court and have only money but no power, they cannot be a good place. The court is not something they can enter just if they want to. The Tang Dynasty was established, and the Jiangnan prominent clans had almost no help, and almost no one could be called a noble. If they rely solely on the imperial examination, how many generations can they achieve something? Obviously it is too late."

"Besides, this money-making is made. With the Yangtze River as the boundary, the sphere of influence of the prominent tribes in the south of the Yangtze River is on the bank of the south of the Yangtze River. Without authority to protect them, what is waiting for them is to gradually decline, because the northern clans can eat them, but they have no power to fight back. All they can do is to reduce the erosion and slow down. This kind of chronic death is the problem of them."

Li Mu picked up a cake, put it on the table, and said, "This is like a cake. If you eat one bite, you will lose one bite, because the cake is so big, it will be eaten sooner or later."

At this time, Li Mu took out another cake and said, "What I made is not to make their cakes bigger, nor to protect them from letting others rob their cakes. I gave them a new cake. The size of this cake is uncertain, maybe big or small, it depends on how hard they try."

Li Mu put the two cakes next to each other and said, "I said that I will make them pay back three years, which means that they will gradually grow from the original cake that has gradually become smaller, and from gradually dying to slow growth. The difference between them is not simply a return to the profit."

Li Shimin suddenly realized that he really didn't expect this. To put it bluntly, what Li Mu gave to the prominent clans in Jiangnan was hope.

"How do you plan to solve the labor gap?"

"You have to ask your Majesty for this." Li Mu was about to ask, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to mention it first: "Your Majesty still remembers that I have talked about the strategies to migrate herdsmen many times?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly: "You mean to move the Turks inward? This..."

"Your Majesty, I know what you are worried about." Li Mu said seriously: "It is related to the foundation of the country. I dare not make a fuss. I dare to propose because I have already thought of a complete plan."

"Oh?" Li Mu's words were beyond Li Shimin's expectations, because he thought that this problem was unsolvable.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Mr. Rong kept me from keeping me from having a meal first, and I will say it later, otherwise I will not be able to bear the throat."

Seeing that he was confident, Li Shimin felt relieved and said to Li Mu: "I didn't agree to you if you can't convince me, I will discuss this matter later."

...

After lunch, the meeting continued. In the morning, it was time for Li Mu to listen to the report, and in the afternoon it was time for him to give new instructions.

According to Li Mu's instructions, Gu Sizhi made him a "white board" and hung the best rice paper on it one by one, so that Li Mu could leave behind what they wrote for them to organize their notes.

"In the morning, everyone heard it. The problem we are facing now is that after the Mingzhou Port is completed, the local labor force will inevitably be transferred to the wharf, and the originally insufficient labor force is even more difficult. In order to solve this problem and to increase the grain output per acre, I racked my brains and finally came up with a safe solution, and we will work together to advise."

"First of all, have you heard of the new policy of the court?"

“I’ve heard of it,”

Li Mu pointed at Wang Rui and asked him to repeat it.

Wang Rui made Li Mu unhappy in the morning, so he waited for this opportunity to show his feelings. He stood up and shouted: "The court's new policy has abolished the equal-field system and changed to the contract system. Land is divided into three categories: ration fields, rented fields, and contracted fields. There are also military fields and entitled fields. Grain fields are born, and each person has ten acres, and land is consumed if they die. The land can be rented at the age of fifteen, up to 40 acres per person, 10% of taxes and 20% of public grain. The land can be subleted, and it needs to be registered with the government. After the sublease, the original tenant no longer enjoys the preferential treatment for renting fields. In addition to contracting fields, ration fields, and renting fields, you can be contracted fields.

, Qualifications are required. Contracted fields can only be used for cultivation and cannot be used for other purposes. Contracted fields have a minimum output. If the output cannot be reached for three consecutive years, the contracted fields will be revoked. Contracted fields are different from tax fields. In addition to collecting taxes and the court has a price acquisition of 2 to become ‘public grain’, an additional 10% tax is required and 10% tax is required. Military merit fields and military merit fields are divided into twelve levels, which can be added. The father dies and sons can not be inherited again, and taxes are exempted. The titles and lands are exempted, and taxes are exempted, and public grains are paid, and public grains are paid, and 50% public grains are paid."

The people were so excited that if they could make such arrangements, they would no longer have to be tenants.

Li Mu nodded to Wang Rui and said to everyone: "This is the new policy of the court. It is said very well and very meticulously, but one sentence has been left out, that is, the court does not allow wasteland to appear. Even if you cannot cultivate your food fields, the court will distribute them to farm. You will rent them during the autumn harvest, but wasteland is not allowed to exist."

"First of all, it is clear that the new policy will be implemented. The pilot projects in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places will be very effective. Our county will also implement it. However, the problem is that even if the land is divided according to the new policy, if the dock is employed, there will still be a lot of labor gaps and the fields will be abandoned. The ration fields cannot be cultivated, let alone renting fields and contracting fields."
