Chapter 858 Treating meritorious soldiers favorably
The facts were not what Li Tai expected. When Li Ya heard this, she immediately stared in surprise and said, "How does the owner know?"
Then he reacted belatedly: "Why do you say 'I want it too'? Is there anyone else who has come to ask for this?"
Seeing this guy's startled look, Li Tai couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You are waiting for a bunch of idiots to be busy in someone's courtyard. Is it possible that no one expresses that you are coveting the beauty of someone else's girl? My fair lady, what a gentleman." Qiu, who is more stupid than you!"
"These villains, these scoundrels, it turns out that they all have their own motives! I thought they saw my intentions and worked hard to support me out of mutual friendship, but it turns out they have such sinister intentions!"
After Li Ya heard Li Tai's words, she couldn't help but cursed angrily, feeling that the boat of friendship had capsized.
Li Tai felt happy again after hearing this. It's hard to say whether this guy has any other advantages. At least he feels really good about himself. Why do he think he's so popular?
"I will handle this matter myself, and there is no need for the owner to ask me about it. I just ask the owner not to tell anyone about my thoughts!"
Li Ya turned her eyes and had an idea in her heart. She no longer asked Li Tai for anything. After saying this, she turned around and left.
Li Tai originally wanted to ask this boy how many girls of marriageable age there were in the Liu family. If this boy was the same one that Quan Xu fell in love with just now, it would be fun again. If this really happens, even Li Tai will feel a little headache and have to find ways to appease him and prevent conflicts between his subordinates because of this kind of thing.
But before he had time to ask, Li Ya had already disappeared, and it seemed that he was planning to take advantage of her.
Li Tai simply put the matter behind him and hurried home to eat. He was worried that if he continued to stay, someone might come to him to ask for matchmaking. After all, he went to sweep the pigs for others today. There are more than a dozen of them, so I’m not sure other guys are interested.
Li Tai felt a little depressed for a while when he thought that he had worked so hard to create a new prefix and was planning to establish a majestic and authoritarian southeast, but he didn't expect that he was just the leader of the Pig Brother Group.
When going home for dinner, Li Tai also used this matter as a joke to chat with his wife. After Miao Yin laughed, she began to ponder thoughtfully.
The lady thought about it for a long time, and when she was about to fall asleep on the bed, she held her husband's arm and said her opinion: "My husband has many young and strong people under his family. After living together for many years, each of them has reached the age where they need to get married and start a family.
Things like today may happen one after another in the future. Most of the children of the military family are envious of the tutors of famous families in the south of the Yangtze River. Nowadays, many people from the south of the Yangtze River depend on their families for their lives. If they can be implicated, the various human relations and situations in the family will be much smoother. "
Li Tai didn't expect his wife's thoughts to still be immersed in this, but after hearing her views, he found it quite reasonable.
Among the many sons and sons under his command, many are indeed getting older and are not yet married. Before, he was only busy with various military and political affairs, and he did not pay enough attention to the personal needs of his subordinates. Now after listening to my lady’s reminder, I also think this is a good idea.
Miaoyin felt encouraged when she saw the contemplative look on her husband's eyes, and continued: "Husband is in charge of the important affairs of the house, so he must not be too distracted by the personal affairs of his children. I am the same at home. In your free time, you may visit and care for the families in the south of the Yangtze River who have recently moved to Xiangyang. You may also donate to the orphans and widows who have lost their relatives and understand their needs.
If these Jiangnan people were allowed to choose spouses and get married within the same family, there would always be too many barriers between them and the rest of the world. If you can serve as the generals under the government, you will definitely be more obedient to the king's control. These governors and generals under the government are far away from their hometowns. If they can get married in Xiangyang, Xiangyang will be their new hometown. If you marry a local woman here, you can also rely on the dowry gifts from your father-in-law's family, and you can quickly support the family business... Why, I am thinking wrong? "
As Miaoyin spoke, she suddenly felt her husband's body stiffen. She quickly closed her mouth and looked at her husband with some anxiety.
"No, no, I am greatly inspired by what you have thought of!"
Li Tai listened to what the lady said, and an idea flashed in his mind. He then held the lady's face and kissed her hard. He said with a smile: "Madam is really my good wife. She made me think about some things by making casual plans." !”
Today, he was still discussing with his family members in the political hall about the overall management of the human and land resources around Xiangyang. Using the excuse of moving to the new city to urge the big players in the country to proactively declare their property details was just a way to find out the human and land resources here. As for the reallocation of resources, other means and methods are needed. Li Taize has not yet thought clearly about how to implement it.
The simplest and most direct way is to confiscate all these people, land and assets, and then redistribute them by the bank. But such a method is too crude and will cause serious social unrest, and even those at the bottom who can benefit may not support it.
Jianghan has been in turmoil for a long time. Compared with the excessive concentration of resources, what the people need more is a stable social environment that can restore normal production and life as soon as possible. Compared with this most basic survival need, class conflict is actually not serious.
Li Tai was able to quickly gain popular support in Hefei by criticizing powerful people. This was because Hefei, as a place of the Fourth War, had very limited survival resources around it and was firmly controlled by powerful powerful families.
However, Jianghan has a vast hinterland. In the past, due to the confrontation between various forces, the border area had a large population loss and large areas of land were deserted. Nowadays, these barriers and consumption no longer exist. If nothing else, the Jianghan Plain between Xiangyang and Jiangling alone is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of households living and producing on equal land.
The early barren areas along the Han River are now in urgent need of personnel for reclamation and development, not to mention the plain areas around Dongting Lake south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, under the current Xingtai rule, land resources are extremely abundant. The fundamental reason why people have no land to cultivate is that there is no stable environment.
When the conflict between man and land is not intense, blindly dividing land among local tyrants will only create instability for one's own rule. It will not get support and response from the bottom, but will also make the social structure unstable. .
Li Tai's dissatisfaction with these powerful landowners in the suburbs of Xiangyang is mainly because their existence hinders the creation of a new order and new pattern in Xiangyang. Although he has determined the idea of taking tough measures, there is no specific standard for how tough it should be.
When he heard what his wife said, Li Tai's heart suddenly became enlightened. What these Xiangyang tycoons lack now is not property, but political and personal security. If we give them a certain sense of security in exchange for the human and land assets they have accumulated over generations, it will undoubtedly be a win-win situation where everyone gets what they need.
Li Tai has a large number of meritorious soldiers under his command. They must have a bright future under the order of Xingtai. If they can marry local families, then the reallocation of resources that would have required a tense and forcible promotion can be done with a wedding drink. After all, even if Li Tai seizes these assets, a considerable part of them will need to be distributed to his soldiers to make Xiangyang their Xiangyang!
Brothers, follow your eldest brother, and he will lead you to a soft meal! Through this kind of marriage, it can not only solve the marriage needs of the brothers, but also transform the sphere of influence of the local powerful in Xiangyang into a military power group in Taiwan, allowing the new money and the old money to complete the transition.
As for the lady's suggestion that she would come forward to organize these things, Li Tai had no objection to this. He didn't want his wife to just be trapped in the courtyard. It would be good to have more exposure to the world. Although this lady occasionally acted coquettishly in front of him, she already had the air of a powerful woman as the head of the family.
But after thinking about it again, Li Tai still said: "Family members of famous families in the south of the Yangtze River can organize some gatherings so that they can see the style of our son in Taiwan. It is up to them to decide whether they want to or not, and there is no need to force them to do so. As for the private sector, For the relief of women and children, the Taifu government is currently short of manpower and has many affairs, and it is true that it cannot be taken care of for a while. The lady can invite some family members in the city to do this together. It does not cost too much, but it requires carefulness. This can also be regarded as a good deed for the family. , Children and grandchildren accumulate blessings.”
The Taiwanese government's administrative focus is on the reconstruction of the entire social structure, aiming to restore normal production and life. It is true that it does not pay enough attention to vulnerable groups such as women and children for the time being. If my wife can use her free time to help these people in need, it will undoubtedly be a great good thing.
When Miaoyin heard that her husband supported her idea, she immediately nodded happily and said: "Don't worry, husband, I have been thinking about these things for a long time, and they are definitely not just a whim! The people of Xiangyang will not even praise Fulang Renzhi." Jue Kou, I want my child to enjoy the kindness of his parents and be worry-free forever!”
Early the next morning, Li Tai came to the political hall again and ordered the government officials to strengthen the promotion of the decree and order the people within the territory to quickly declare their assets. He wanted to create a high-pressure atmosphere where the storm was about to come, so that these local Xiangyang ethnic groups would feel the pressure and Only when they are panicked will they actively look for solutions to the problem, and only then will there be a market for these piggy buddies under Li Tai.
However, he was just preparing to build a momentum here, but unexpectedly, the little piggy boy in the house had already broken into the cabbage field and was trapped.
"Your Majesty, General Li Yali led his troops to patrol the Western Mountains this morning, but they were attacked by local tyrants and trapped in the mountains..."
In the afternoon, Li Tai came to the front of the house, and several soldiers in the tent hurried in to report.
After hearing this, Li Tai frowned and snorted: "Tell the truth!"
"Yes, General Li was very fond of the Liu family's daughter in Xishan, so he went to visit her with his disciples and prepared gifts. Unexpectedly, Liu family was so arrogant that he detained all the people who gave the gifts..."
Several soldiers originally wanted to cover up their superiors' ugliness, but seeing that the king seemed to have a clear conscience, they did not dare to cover up any more and reported honestly.
