Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer
Chapter 36 Choosing Between Interests And Power
Several clan leaders suddenly looked embarrassed.
All the old faces turned red with shame.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching from the side, narrowed his eyes and looked at these clan leaders.
"Zhuang Master Su, we must have a solution."
Patriarch Lu was silent for a while and said slowly.
This attitude is obviously a sign of weakness.
Su Ran felt very clear about the poverty of these village tenants.
Their poverty was entirely caused deliberately by these patriarchs.
If they are not poor.
How can the clan leader control his life and be used by these clan leaders?
"...I have a plan, I wonder if some of you can accept it?"
Su Ran narrowed his eyes, looked at the clan leaders and said.
"Master Su, please speak." Chief Lu said in a deep voice.
"Lease me all the land you have."
Su Ran looked at several clan leaders with horrified expressions: "You don't have to worry about how the land is planted.
But I can guarantee that your annual income will be better than all previous years..."
"You're dreaming!"
Before Su Ran could finish speaking, Patriarch Chen said angrily.
The other three clan leaders also looked particularly embarrassed and stared at him gloomily.
Looking at Su Ran's expression of sighing and speechless.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Father, the conditions offered by Su Ran are very generous."
Zhu Biao said in confusion: "Besides, with Su Ran's method, these squire's income will only be more, not less!"
"Boss, you don't have our experience, so you can't see through this."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Aside from interests,
And their power to dominate the countryside!
If Su Ran only infringes on their interests, they can still negotiate a compromise.
But Su Ran has now shaken their most fundamental power,
It's weird if they don't blow up! "
Zhu Biao suddenly realized.
"What you see is just a group of little country squires, don't underestimate them."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Those powerful country squires even dare to collude with evil cults.
He evaded taxes, challenged the government, and even dared to start a riot! "
"So, Su Ran's proposal of sending imperial power to the countryside is correct."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Even if it is a little troublesome, we must carry it out!"
After saying that, the two men turned their attention to Su Ran.
Looking at the menacing clan leaders, Su Ran sighed and was speechless.
This sentence touches their real taboo.
The fields they control in their name.
Not just their lifeblood.
It is also the fundamental reason why they can control the tribe and run rampant in the countryside!
If the land is leased out and all the tenants are removed, how can they happily exploit the lower class people in the future? How to roam the countryside?
Su Ran is digging at their roots!
"Several clan leaders."
Su Ran said slowly: "It's just a dispute over power.
Are you just so unable to let go?
Do you have to keep your people naked and hungry? Just be obedient? "
The clansmen behind the clan leaders were in a state of excitement.
Obviously, Su Ran's words have touched their hearts.
If they were not extremely poor, how could they crawl like dogs at the feet of the patriarch?
These patriarchs only care about their own power and don't even care about their life or death.
How can we care whether they are poor or not?
These tribesmen all showed excited expressions.
Patriarch Lu's face was extremely gloomy for a moment, and the faces of the other patriarchs were also ugly.
"Master Su, do you have the power of the imperial court behind you?"
Patriarch Lu suddenly asked.
"No!" Su Ran answered decisively.
Several clan leaders are all the best among human beings, judging from Su Ran's tone.
As well as the tens of thousands of acres of land previously rewarded by the court, and the censor who was exiled from the army, he has already seen it.
Su Ran doesn't just have an official backstage.
Moreover, it seems that the backstage is quite hard.
Several clan leaders immediately became silent.
Su Ran looked at these squires and wealthy men calmly.
The purpose is to force them to choose between interests and power.
It is good to implement the system of chiefs to digest the huge talents of the imperial court.
Along with it, I promoted my own set of modern things.
There are now tens of thousands of scholars in the imperial court.
And every year more people continue to squeeze into this class.
But the imperial court only admitted a few hundred people.
If so many scholars don't digest it well, they will get into trouble sooner or later.
The imperial court's wishful thinking of using eight-part essays and imperial examinations to restrain people is as stupid as the deception of ghosts and gods in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
At best, it's a little advanced.
But no one is an idiot, especially those who have read books.
Once you wake up, you can imagine that you will be resentful of the court.
Over time, social conflicts and classes in the Ming Dynasty will become more acute.
The patriarchs are not fools. Accepting his interests means giving up the power of the patriarch!
"Promise, patriarch!"
A clan member behind Patriarch Lu suddenly said impatiently.
The clan members around these clan leaders have all seen the benefits of Su Ran Farm.
Not to mention the craftsmen, even the ordinary tenants of the farm are fat and oily.
Those tough female workers often wandered around the market carrying big bags of money.
In contrast, they are busy all year round.
He works harder than them, but he can barely make ends meet!
What's even more rare is that Su Ran allows their children to study in private schools!
These people have long been unable to contain their temptations.
Patriarch Lu was furious, turned his head and shouted angrily: "Do you have any right to speak here?"
