…
Following Tao Qian's eyes, the attendants noticed this scene and quickly turned around and retreated.
Then many maids appeared and placed various items on the desks of each representative.
"Since everyone is here, please listen to what I have to say." Tao Qian looked at the people present and said calmly.
As Tao Qian spoke, everyone present waited silently.
"Pengcheng Kingdom and Donghai Kingdom have flat and open terrain and fertile land. Everyone present must be aware of this." Tao Qian said slowly about these two counties.
"Guangling County is still short of a governor. My son, Tao Shang, has not yet held an official position and has not promoted his talents..." Tao Qian said slowly about what he wanted to do.
Chen Deng listened to Tao Qian's words and thought quite calmly.
Even if Tao Qian was strong in the past, would he still succumb to future generations?
Do you want to push your son to the position of governor of Guangling County to pave the way for the future of Xuzhou Mu?
But this kind of matter, just summoning the Xuzhou family to discuss it, may not reach this level.
What's more, Tao Shang is embarrassed by his great responsibility. If he wants to stabilize the situation, relying on these alone is completely insufficient.
It was impossible for Tao Qian to not know this, but since he made the request first, he had to see what the conditions were.
As Tao Qian spoke, many people present looked at each other in disbelief. This was completely different from the Tao Qian he once was.
"What do you think?" After Tao Qian finished speaking, he looked at everyone present calmly, sighed slightly, and said with some sadness.
However, no one among the people present dared to stand up and give Tao Qian an answer.
Tao Qian looked at everyone present, staring at him closely, and sighed slightly.
"You must have heard of the prefectures and counties of Mount Tai. Many people have even gone to Mount Tai to observe." Tao Qian waved his hand and said speciously.
As soon as these words were spoken, several people present looked very embarrassed.
Hearing these words, or at a conference like this, everyone thought of a bad possibility.
Thinking back to what Tao Qian said before, isn't this an attempt to settle matters?
Zhao Zun looked at this scene and couldn't help but shook his head.
Doesn't such an obvious behavior tell Tao Qian openly that they have this intention? Isn't this an inappropriate courting of death?
Tao Qian seemed not to notice the changing expressions of those present, and said very calmly, "Every village and every town has a sufficient population to defend other city walls and connect wide roads to other places. Standard houses, clean streets…”
Zhao Zun listened carefully to Tao Qian's words, and his brows furrowed more and more as he listened.
No matter how you look at it, Tao Qian's behavior does not seem like he is trying to clean up others. Instead, he seems to be speaking out to Taishan County seriously.
Tao Qian has never left Xiapi City in Xuzhou, and he is still able to understand this level. It seems that the pottery merchant either has capable people in the team, or the pottery merchant he saw is not what he really is.
"Everyone, I'm going to make one in Pengcheng County to try it out in the shape of Mount Tai. What do you think?" Tao Qian asked everyone present a question and asked for their opinions.
The people sitting in the back all focused their attention on the people in front.
Including Zhao Zun, they can still feel the eyes from behind, very clearly.
Zhao Zun glanced at Chen Deng next to him with his own eyes and found that Chen Deng didn't care about it and didn't mean to express his thoughts.
"I wonder how Marquis Liyang plans to try it out? What does it have to do with us?" Zhao Zun bowed first and then asked.
Tao Qian smiled slightly and answered on the spot, "A village with a thousand households and a town with two thousand households can also build city walls for protection and enfeoff land to support people..."
"So I took Pengcheng County out to try it alone. Is this strategy feasible?" Tao Qian said with emotion.
"Does the Marquis of Liyang mean that we go to Pengcheng to divide towns and villages for governance and management?" Zhao Zun frowned involuntarily, and there was something wrong with the way he looked at Tao Qian.
If there is no other solution than moving all the aristocratic families into one county, who is willing to do it?
And even if you use your own force to coerce everyone to achieve your goal, how many people will be able to obey?
The entire Xuzhou officialdom is more or less connected with the aristocratic families present. Such behavior may be irreversible.
"Let the local people go to other counties, and everyone present will bring their family members and move them to Pengcheng..." Tao Qian was not in a hurry and answered Zhao Zun's inquiry very patiently.
Zhao Zunyue frowned and couldn't help but frown. It seemed to be no different from what he thought.
Is the old man Tao Qian really planning to move them? Even if they are moved to Pengcheng, they can still rely on their influence to influence officials in other counties. How much difference will it make?
"I wonder if Marquis Liyang is moving there, how will the land be replaced?" Chen Deng's eyes flashed with light, and he thought of a possibility in his mind, so he no longer hesitated and asked directly.
Zhao Zun looked at Chen Deng and asked, quickly closed his mouth and listened as much as possible.
"How much land you have will naturally be replaced. Of course, your old house and your ancestral land, it depends on you whether you are willing to replace it..." Tao Qian's tone was calm, and his face was quite calm.
"The land is divided into upper field, middle field and lower field. How should this be replaced? When should the land be used as the standard?" Chen Deng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he quickly asked aloud.
Zhao Zun felt a little strange that he could hear a little happiness in Chen Deng's tone beside him.
Forced relocation is a complete chore, how can you still feel excited?
"Pengcheng County is vast, mostly flat, with mature soil, mostly upper fields. Whether it is upper fields, middle fields or lower fields, the same acre of land in Pengcheng County is exchanged for one acre. If it is lower fields, What do you think about exchanging two acres for one acre?" Tao Qian thought for a moment and said calmly.
Chen Deng couldn't stop the joy on his face at this moment, even though he wasted some time to calm down.
The old guy Tao Qian is indeed old. In order to pave the way for his son, he has such a plan.
Without enough benefits, how can you motivate others?
Even if others agreed, they didn't say they would give up their original interests.
