I Can See the Combat Prowess

Chapter 176 Chapter 180: Clan Council (2)

With a brisk smile on Tang Zhi's face, he asked Tang Luo, "Elder Zong, please."

Above the parliament, there is only identity, no name, so he called Tang Luo the old man.

Tang Luo took a deep breath, took out a stack of paper from his arms, and said loudly, "This is my proposal today. Please go through it first."

I have recruited a warrior from the law firm, and he will distribute these papers to everyone's desk.

Tang Cunfu took the motion with a cold snort. He didn't believe that the kid could do anything right. He had determined that this act of robbing the motion was at the instigation of Tang Zhi. It is hard for Xiling Tianjiao to be a ignorant person. regret.

Looking intently at the paper in his hand, the densely written small letters, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and finally he couldn't help but raise his voice: "It's ridiculous, you want to abolish this ban on farming!?"

He felt that Tang Luo was launched by Tang Zhi to make trouble. He didn't have any expectations for this motion. As long as it wasn't funny, he never thought that this Xiling Tianjiao was really silent. It was a blockbuster, and he wanted to move this. Rules for hundreds of years.

Tang Luo took a look at Tang Cunfu with his hands on his back, and said calmly: "Cunfu's representative is Don't panic. After everyone has read it, I will explain my proposal slowly, but now please don't quarrel with others."

Tang Cunfu's complexion was a little ruddy for a moment, and a junior accused him of being unable to get off the stage. He turned his attention to Zong Zheng, the most important etiquette, but found that the other party looked at the motion carefully and looked indifferently.

Tang Cunfu, who had the care in his heart, suppressed his anger, and carefully watched the motion in his hand. Only by looking at his hideous expression, he could think of how he would attack him in a while.

After a long time, everyone finally saw clearly the proposal written on the paper, abolishing the ban on farming and changing it to a five-acre land order.

The people in the northern city of Xiling are allowed to reclaim wasteland, with a limit of five mu per person.

"Everyone sees clearly, don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions." Tang Luo asked everyone.

As a new decree is promulgated, there are two steps that cannot be skipped; one is whether it is feasible, and the other is how to amend it so as to make it popular.

And as the most critical first step, the proponents must answer the questions of these people in power in Xiling, and finally they have to vote by everyone to implement the legal department before they can complete a decree proposal.

Except for the thirteen elders and the fifteen Zongzheng and Shanchang, the rest have not seen this proposal, and naturally there are many doubts.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zong, the ban on farming has been implemented in Xiling for hundreds of years. The Tang Mi and Tang Mi’s family reclaimed wasteland for livelihood. This is not only related to the stability of Xiling, but also can bring huge income to the Tang family. These five acres of land, where does the benefit come from?" Elder Tang Gaomin was the first to question. Although he had read Tang Luo’s letterhead, he still didn’t know the meaning of the five acres of land and was in charge. The treasurer is the most sensitive to money, and he does not allow the Tang family to lose such a large income.

There will be such a question as early as Tang Luo’s calculations, he said to Tang Gaomin: “This income is made up by Tian Fu. There are nearly 1.5 million people in the north of Xiling City. After excluding the 100,000 clans, the total number of civilians is 1.4 million. , There will be 300,000 households. If each household has five acres of land, it would be 1.5 million acres of fertile land, and each acre of land would receive ten gold per year, which would be 15 million gold.

"Improper!" Tang Gaomin shook his head and said, "At the current Xiling food price, my Tang family's annual income is considered to be hundreds of millions of gold, and Zong Lao uses 15 million gold to make up, which is really unwise."

As one of the elders in charge of finances, how could he not include taxes, not to mention that the land tax is too low, just say that in terms of the current grain prices in Xiling, the Tang family loses hundreds of millions of gold each year. How could he accept the huge gap between coming and going.

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard what Tang Gaomin said, and they felt that it was not a cost-effective business to exchange stable income for talent.

Tang Luo looked at everyone's expressions, smiled and looked at Tang Cunfu, and asked, "Excuse me, what is the most needed thing for the Tang family separation?"

Suddenly, he made Tang Gaomin feel disrespectful. He wrinkled his eyebrows and was about to get into trouble, but an elder beside him grabbed his arm and gave him a look of change.

Tang Cunfu didn't expect Tang Luo to ask himself, but his anger didn't disappear. How could he give the other side a good face, so he said stiffly: "Naturally, the martial artist trained in the martial arts school is not enough."

This is also the biggest drawback of the Tang family after its branches and leaves. It is difficult to recruit warriors. Basically, the warriors who can walk on the streets of Xiling are all family warriors. Occasionally, a single, non-mainstream warrior is found, and they all give way. Sect Master was as happy as finding a treasure.

Tang Luo chuckled: "Did you hear that? Now the Tang clan has more than two hundred branches, and there are only more than 400 warriors cultivated in the battle hall each year, and many others have become cannon fodder, just because No one is available for division."

"What does this have to do with your five-mu farmland?" Tang Gaomin said in a high voice.

Tang Luo looked around the long table with fixed eyes for a week, and said every word: "How can they practice martial arts without feeding the civilians?"

"Xiling food prices are low. They can work and earn money, and save money to go to the martial arts gym to learn martial arts. Are the dozens of martial arts gyms set up by the Tang family fake?" Tang Gaomin didn't like Tang Luo's sharpness and replied calmly. Tao.

Tang Luo twitched the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and said lightly: "An ordinary person, he still has the heart to practice martial arts for a day, let alone firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which doesn't cost money. Maybe for you, it's just a few years of training in martial arts. That's all, but for those civilians, how can the young and old of the full-time martial arts practice live a life? Isn't it too naive for a clan elder to say such things?"

Tang Gaomin stared at him, and just about to reply, he heard Tang Zhi speak calmly: "But what does this have to do with your new policy?"

Everyone nodded. Even if civilians need to make money and cannot practice martial arts, he will still be able to cultivate after the new policy is issued.

"As soon as this ordinance is issued, in order to open more arable land, the people must give birth frequently. After a generation, we will have tens of millions of people in Xiling." Tang Luo said calmly.

The common people will have surplus when they have land to produce life. They will naturally send one of their children to practice martial arts. Isn't the purpose of learning martial arts to sell to the emperor's family? When the time comes, these martial artists will still be used by the Tang clan.

The people are rich, the country is strong. The Tang family dominates the Western Tombs and has a population of more than one million. In fact, it has reached the scale of some small countries, but the family's model is still firmly shackled by the thinking of these people in power. They separate themselves from others. The idea was correct, but the problem now is that with the development of the Tang clan in the past 30 generations, so many sub-sect sect masters have been separated. Which of these clans has no control over one party, but is limited by force. Curled up in a small Xiling.

After the ban on farming is issued, Xiling will have a large enough population base and warriors, let these suzerains choose, and the most important thing is-low taxes!
