Seeing that everyone was extremely anxious, Lan Yu no longer kept them in suspense.
Instead, he said directly,"Everyone, the so-called exchange of hands is naturally not the exchange of left hand to right hand, but the exchange of all the fields in your hands!" Give it a new master!"
Sell the land?
When many people heard this, their expressions were a little strange.
Private fields were priceless. There were many people buying them in the market, but not many people selling them.
Otherwise, the nobles wouldn't have resorted to forceful buying and selling, or using underhanded methods to seize land.
Otherwise, wouldn't all these years of hard work be in vain?
Someone immediately objected to Lan Yu's words.
"General Lan, you want us to sell the land? Aren't we asking our brothers to cut our own flesh?" Fei Ju was the first to speak.”
"If this is the only way you can sell it, then in my opinion, we might as well not move and maintain the status quo!”
When Fei Ju said this, everyone agreed!
Lan Yu sneered in her heart when she heard this. They were all a bunch of people who only cared about money and did not care about their lives!
"Everyone, don't tell me you all think the same way as Duke Pingliang?”Lan Yu deliberately asked loudly.
Everyone looked at each other silently, but the answer was obvious.
At this moment, Blue Jade slapped her thigh and said bitterly,"Brothers, you are all muddle-headed!"
These words made everyone's hearts tremble as they looked at Lan Yu.
"Brothers, have you not considered that with the Crown Prince's departure, it is impossible to maintain the status quo?”
"That's the construction of a new city, that's moving the capital!”
"I'm sure everyone knows how strict the rule of the capital has been since ancient times.”
"Once His Majesty really moves the capital to Fengyang, then all the Ding Mu will have to be re-measured and recorded to facilitate the division of the royal family's territory!”
"Perhaps everyone thinks that it will take at least a few years to build a new city, but you have forgotten that once the new city is built, His Majesty and the Crown Prince will focus their attention on Fengyang.”
"The things that you guys have done, even if you don't bask in the sun, you're not far from being exposed.”
Blue Jade's words caused the expressions of many of the nobles who wanted stability to change.
Everyone understood that wherever the Emperor's gaze was focused, it meant that the entire nation's gaze was focused.
As long as a refugee who had lost his land took the lead, the matter of the nobles seizing the land would immediately incite a civil revolt!
This was extremely terrifying, and the consequences were something that the nobles could not bear!
Blue Jade had basically blocked the nobles 'hopes of getting lucky!
As expected, someone started to get impatient.
"Then what should we do now?"
"That's right, I can't agree to this method of selling land. This is worse than killing me!”
"Who isn't, sigh!"
The dignitaries sighed, but Lan Yu looked calm and at ease.
As Hu Weiyong watched the development of the situation, he felt that something was strange.
The Lan Yu in his impression was brave but reckless, a 100% adventurer!
Such people were usually not very calm and their minds were not very bright.
Winning a battle was a blessing from the heavens. Once on the battlefield, even if one's brain was not bright, it was as if it had been enlightened.
However, in the imperial court, their intelligence would fall back to the valley.
This was also the reason why generals could not win against civil officials in political battles!
But today, Lan Yu not only spoke clearly, she even repeatedly said words that even shocked Hu Weiyong.
Even if Hu Weiyong didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Lan Yu had the demeanor of a military counselor this time!
But this wasn't Blue Jade at all!
Lan Yu didn't have this kind of intelligence!
Hu Weiyong was already thinking about a deeper question. Who taught Lan Yu to say these words?
Could it be the Crown Prince? Or the Chang family?
Hu Weiyong, who couldn't figure it out, decided to observe in secret.
He wanted to see how Lan Yu would solve the problem of the nobles seizing land!
……
"Brothers, since the situation is already so dangerous, selling the land is the best solution.”
Seeing that Blue Jade was still insisting on this, someone wanted to raise an opinion, but was interrupted by Blue Jade.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Wait for me to finish!”
"When I say selling the land, it's not just for you to sell the land. There's also the word 'hands'!”
"Or rather, the exchange is more rigorous. We're not selling the land, but exchanging it!”
"As for what the replacement is, it's naturally the land where the new city will be built!”
As soon as Lan Yu finished speaking, Lu Zhongheng's teacup fell to the ground.
A loud bang startled many people who were deep in thought.
When Lu Zhongheng saw this, he quickly said,"I'm sorry. My hand slipped. I was really shocked by General Lan's words!"”
"Exchange? How? If I didn't understand it wrong, General Lan wants us to sell the problematic land and buy the land for the new city.”
When Lan Yu heard this, she nodded in approval." Marquis Ji An is right. This is the way."”
Lu Zhongheng looked at the dignitaries and hesitated for a moment before saying,"But General Lan, what profit do we have in this way?”
"The land used to build the new city will eventually be used to build the city. Even if the Imperial Court buys the land from us and we earn a sum of money, this is far less than the long-term income from collecting rent from fertile farmland every year.”
"If these fields were in our hands, we would be able to bring in considerable profits every year. However, if we were to exchange them for land and sell them to the Imperial Court, it would be a one-time deal!”
It had to be said that Lu Zhongheng's calculations were very accurate!
He was far-sighted and knew that his children and grandchildren would benefit from owning farmland forever.
As for selling the land to build the new city, he could only collect money once, but it wouldn't be much more expensive than buying civilian land.
In short, he could only earn once!
Anyone with discerning eyes would know what to choose!
What Lu Zhongheng said was also what the dignitaries wanted to say.
In Hu Weiyong's view, this was also an irreconcilable contradiction and a difficult point that could not be solved at all.
However, Lan Yu did not have any expression of difficulty on her face at this moment. She still had that confident look.
"Everyone, this matter is actually very easy to resolve!”
"Let's talk about the one-time deal. Are you all muddle-headed? Once Fengyang becomes the capital, do you still want to occupy this land?”
"I also have land in Fengyang. When I heard that His Majesty was moving the capital to Fengyang, I wanted to sell my land overnight!”
"You actually want to continue occupying land in Phoenix Sun?”
"Asking everyone to exchange land now is not to calculate the amount of benefits, but to save your lives!”
"Great Ming's territory is so vast, do you have to keep an eye on Fengyang's land?”
"If His Majesty really moves the capital to Fengyang, can't we move to Jinling?”
"Besides, who said that the new city's construction land isn't profitable when sold to the Imperial Court?”
"This time, we really have to make a profit. Because the Imperial Court will inevitably occupy the people's fields to build a new city, they will carry out a series of compensation.”
"This doesn't just refer to the compensation money. There's also a new thing called the 'Flying Field Deed'!”
"In other words, if the land in your hands is occupied by the imperial court for the construction of a new city, you can use the 'Flying Land Deed' to legally purchase land anywhere!”
"Brothers, this is the real way to clear the land in our hands!”
