Lord of the House

The generals in Huaidong came from poor backgrounds, and even some descendants of aristocratic families, such as Lin, Song, Yu and other clansmen, were mostly ambitious and far-reaching. As a political group, Huaidong can maintain a hard and simple pragmatic style, whether it is a civil servant or a military general. This is also an important reason why Huaidong can maintain a strong combat power and a clean government in addition to strict laws and regulations.

However, being a prince and a general, a wife and a son, is a dream rooted in the heart of almost all scholars or those with a little ambition in this era - even in the Huaidong Army, those who have such thoughts Civil and military officials are also common.

The so-called merits of the dragon are nothing more than the princes and generals, and the seals of the wife and Yinzi. It can also be said that this is the most direct driving force within Huaidong to promote the abandonment of the Yuan and the establishment of a new dynasty.

Of course, Lin Fu has a prestige and power that no one can replace at this time, and Huaidong generals are pragmatic and far-sighted. At this time, the source of Jiangning's rumors will be pinched, and even a ban can be issued directly. Once it has been revealed, the merits can be discussed later.

If Jiang Ning is allowed to discuss this matter at this time, then it cannot be forbidden to discuss this matter within Huaidong.

With this trend together, there may be no problem for three or five days; after three or five months, the civil and military officials in Huaidong will also be enthusiastic about the division of the land and will shake their minds, and may even breed troubles due to competing for merits and rewards. Even within Huaidong, there will be internal friction due to inconsistent interests, which is not conducive to the future Northern Expedition and the creation of a new empire.

Taking into account the above considerations, Lin Fu opened Xu Jiangning to discuss the title of the land, but Gao Zongting almost subconsciously objected: "If this trend starts, it will be difficult to press it down again; unless the lord returns to Jiangning this time..."

"No, Zong Ting, you think too much, it's not an opportunity to establish a new dynasty for the time being," Lin Bie shook his head and said, "It will be a matter of time to reward the meritorious generals, but the traditional reward is not what I expected. The palace is unwilling to be lonely, and when I provoked this matter, I thought, to imitate the example of Song and Chen to reward the generals, is it possible?"

"Is that so..." Gao Zongting froze there, unable to keep up with Lin Fu's thoughts for a while.

The Song people once owned millions of acres of land in Quanzhou and Yongtai, and used this as the most fundamental basis for gathering people and controlling localities. After the Song Clan was attached, Huaidong Bank took over the fields controlled by the Song Clan with shares equivalent to the principal of 4 million taels of silver, and then dispersed these fields into small pieces and sold them to the Song Clan, Yongtai and Quanzhou. The people with little or no owner and the people resettled in the south regarded it as private property, in order to achieve the goal of not suppressing the Song clan too much, but completely eliminating the potential of the Song clan to separate local areas, and making the Song clan fully integrated into Huaidong.

In the later period, the Haiyu Chen clan and other clans were also dealt with in the same way.

"My concubine thought it was feasible," Song Jia said. "Since ancient times, merit is good, but reward is hard to do. The number of food households, the distance of the county, the fatness and thinness of the fields, whether to take advantage of the village, will it be possible? Keeping oneself and not invading places is the source of disputes and the cause of troubles. As for the reward of merit, officials should think about the management of fields and acres, so that all families and children return to their hometowns, and people's hearts will inevitably be scattered - converted into money from the qianzhuang stock. The amount of land and mu will be rewarded to the meritorious generals and officials-oh, wrong, it should be folded into the bank, and rewarded to the deserving generals with a corresponding share, so that the generals can compete for the amount of credit, but You won’t be fat and thin in competition for rewards, you won’t take advantage of the countryside, you won’t invade local areas, and you won’t be able to disperse people’s hearts…”

Gao Zongting also felt that Song's proposal was indeed reasonable, but he hesitated for a while, and asked Lin Fu: "Will you give the public land in Lujiang, Yijiang and other places to the Qianzhuang?"

Lin Bie nodded and said, "I plan to leave the day after tomorrow and go back to Jiangning - you and Song Gong will discuss this matter first; if there is any controversy over Jiangning, I won't pinch or pour oil for the time being. Let's blow it to see how far it can grow. If the signs are not right, we will follow this."

What Lin Bie wants to create is a new empire with a new pattern that can get out of the historical cycle.

The people are far from awakening to the level of selfless devotion to the rise and fall of the country and the nation. Ordinary soldiers and soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, throw their heads, and shed blood for the reward of land and acres. Civil and military generals also worked hard for military merit and political achievements, and even ignored the threat of life. , but in the end, it is impossible to get around the ring of merit and deeds.

Lin Fu also knew in his heart what the people in Huaidong were so keen to do to abolish the establishment, and did not expect them to be selfless and self-sacrificing. The most important thing now and after the new empire was created was to keep the interior of the new empire. The cohesion and the driving force to move forward will not go back to the old road.

Since the concept of reward for meritorious deeds is untenable, it would be better to give Huaidong generals a new class of nobles who depend on the land and make money, and become a hindrance to pulling the new empire back to the old road, rather than rewarding the land and nobles. Turning the entire group of ministers into an emerging financial class that supports the development of industry, mining, commerce and trade, and also instinctively needs the development of industry, mining, commerce and trade, and external expansion to generate huge profits, has become the driving force for the transformation of the new empire to a new pattern.

Of course, there will also be some serious problems here. It is very likely that the emerging meritorious groups will all parasitize on financial capital and **** the flesh and blood of the new empire, but at least it can prevent the new empire from going down the old road.

However, how many financial groups in the future are not controlled by a few people? As long as this step is taken, even if there is a problem in the future, it can be resolved through external expansion.

Gao Zongting said, "Zhou Guangnan is in Jiangxia. Did you call him to ask for advice?"

"No, he's probably going to Tanzhou, so I don't need him to stay in Jiangxia to wait for me," Lin Fu shook his head again, "Huaidong Qianzhuang is already too powerful, it's too big to control, this is in front of Duke Song. I said the same thing; didn't the Ministry of Household have a bank that was still half-dead? This time, if we really want to reward merit and deeds, it should be handled by the bank of the Ministry of Household..."

Gao Zongting was slightly startled, and then he realized that this is the way to check and balance.

Although Huaidong Qianzhuang concentrated the interests of Lin, Song, Chen and other Dongyang Township Party and Haishang Group at this time, the total accumulated principal amounted to nearly 20 million taels of silver, which was about twice the annual income of the Ministry of Household at this time. It is already a huge number, but Lin Fu's reputation is currently the same. Huaidong Bank can also be said to be created by Lin Fu, and it is not difficult to restrain.

But everything is foreshadowed, and if you don't predict it will be ruined. It is precisely because Lin Fu has an unparalleled reputation at this time, so he can overcome all opinions and build another bank to check and balance Huaidong Bank - Dongyang Township behind Huaidong Bank Representatives of the interests of the party, the maritime business group, and even Song Fu, the representative of the Song family, will not have much opposition.

Behind the re-established bank, the entire Huaidong group of meritorious deeds will stand. In the future, it will naturally have the ability to compete with Huaidong bank and check and balance each other.

Gao Zongting felt that this strategy was very good, but he couldn't say it badly. He couldn't make Song Fu and others think that this was his crooked idea.

Gao Zongting knew that Song Fu and others had nothing to do with Lin Fu, but if they ran against him, there would still be means. Fortunately, Song Fu's daughter was still present at this time, otherwise it would be unclear.

****************

When Gao Zongting withdrew, he naturally asked Song Fu, Cao Zi'ang, and Sun Jingtang to discuss the matter.

In the later period, the construction work in Nanyang and Xiangyang was particularly important, and Sun Jingtang came to Fancheng from Huangzhou to specialize in construction.

The situation in Jingxiang was settled, and the situation in the north of Huaishan also stabilized. Cao Ziang no longer needed to sit in Suizhou, so he came to Fancheng to join with Lin Fu and then returned to Jiangning.

At this time in Fancheng, only Song Fu, Gao Zongting, Sun Jingtang, and Cao Ziang were the most important people; in addition, there were Tang Xitai, Sun Wenxuan and others in Fancheng's civil servants, and other generals like Ao Canghai and Zhao Hu were defeated. Not very interested in politics.

Sun Jingtang was born in the He Gang, and his status was low in his early years, but after all, he and his brother controlled the Xihe Association with a scale of two or three thousand people, and his life was not cold; even after the Xihe Association fell apart, the Sun family still had a lot of industries transferred from Jiangning and integrated into it. In Huaidong. At this time, he paid more attention to obtaining a stable political position, and it was best to be awarded a title, but he didn't care much about the reward.

Cao Ziang had suffered so much over the years, and his resolve was strong. He was not in a hurry to confer meritorious titles and awards, and even thought that the promotion of awards at this time would be detrimental to the army. However, converting the field of rewarding merit into the bank and rewarding the generals with the number of shares in the bank would not have a big impact on the army at once, and he had no special opinion.

If the Huaidong Army military-level generals should be rewarded with thousands of acres of Yongye fields or hundreds of food towns ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ convert the principal of 2,000 yuan into the bank, and receive dividends of tens of yuan or 100 yuan each year according to the number of shares Yuan is that, instead of worrying about the management of fields and acres, there is no dispute with local governments, and it can even be simply considered to increase the salaries of deserving generals.

Song Fu thought more complicated than Cao Ziang.

Lin Fu used the land of rewarding merits to be converted into the bank as the number of shares to count and reward the meritorious officials. In Song Fu's view, there is also an important role in that he will not harm local government affairs because of the privileged land that has been awarded. Causes damage to central revenue.

However, another bank was set up to handle this matter. If Song Jia was not present, Song Fu would doubt that it was Gao Zongting's bad idea behind the scenes, but it was clearly proposed by Lin Fu, and Song Fu did not have much opinion.

At this time, Huaidong Bank was almost swallowed up, and it penetrated into Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi, two lakes, and Guangnan. As long as you carefully study the rise of Huaidong in the past few years, you can know how huge the real potential strength of Huaidong Bank is—

The establishment of another bank in order to divide the Huaidong bank is naturally not in line with the interests of the Dongyang Township Party, the Haishang Group and the Lin, Song, Chen and other families who stand behind the Huaidong bank. In the eyes of those who know, what is more important at the moment is to ensure that a new dynasty can be established to replace Yuanyue - this is the fundamental interest of the families.

Song Fu also guessed that Lin Fu was worried that Huaidong Qianzhuang would be difficult to control in the future, which would affect the imperial power of the new empire, so he took the initiative to check and balance it.

Of course, compared to Lin Fuming's methods, at least he doesn't have to worry about being "killed by cunning rabbits and cooked by lackeys" in the future.

The so-called "common weal and woe is easy, and wealth and honor are difficult", and the so-called "if the profit is monopolized, it will be divided" - thinking of this, Song Fu, who is well versed in the way of self-protection, knows that he should promote a new bank to divide Huaidong.
