Chapter 1002: Noble Consultations

Seeing that the King's relative by marriage had not been able to obtain any other news, Sanxin had no choice but to reveal everything he had learned. When it came down to it, these Nobles were all one body; the matter of the fiefs concerned the interests of them all, not just the interests of one person alone.

Moreover, Wang Ye had just asked him to draft the relevant documents and legal provisions, so it would certainly be impossible to keep it hidden in the future. It was better to speak of it now so that everyone could pool their wisdom. If they had any other ideas, he believed Baifeng would not excessively harm the interests of these greatest contributors to Huaxia.

"I went to see the King just now mainly to ask if I could develop the fief I have between Yongfeng Town and Yongning Town ahead of schedule."

Before Sanxin had even finished speaking, Changxu immediately asked impatiently: "And what was the result? What was it like? Did the King agree? What did he say?!"

"The King agreed."

Everyone exclaimed: "Agreed?"

"How does that work? What kind of development method is it?"

Sanxin hurriedly raised his hand to stop the chaotic crowd, letting them quiet down first: "Don't argue yet, listen to me slowly.

My fief there is quite close to those two towns, so I asked the King if he could allow the townspeople there to come and reclaim wasteland on my fief. I said I could provide all sorts of preferential policies, even better than the current tax reduction policies in Huaxia.

Then the King said this was a good thing and completely acceptable, telling me to go promote it myself. As long as people were willing to go, they could go; he would not stop them, but he would not allow me to force anyone to go."

Zhu clapped his hands happily: "Hey, this is good! My fief is also near Yonggu Town. If yours can do it, then mine can do the same, right? By the time the fief is fully reclaimed, even if we exempt taxes for three or five years, once the tax exemption ends, how much will that year's profit be? It's much better than leaving the land barren!"

But others were puzzled: "Sanxin, how come you only talked about this one thing all noon? Didn't the King tell you anything else?"

Sanxin pointed to the paper he had just taken out and the ink he hadn't had time to grind yet: "How could that be? The King also asked me to turn all of this into documents and draft them. It means that everyone who has a fief can do this. As long as it is determined according to the requirements of the documents, it is not a violation. You can go ahead and do it boldly. There are also relevant laws that I have to draft."

"This is good, this is good. As long as the documents are issued, we can do it ourselves, right? So the King's meaning is, can we formulate the preferential policies on our own fiefs ourselves?"

Sanxin answered this question again: "Yes, that is the meaning. The King's idea is that as long as you can find a way to attract population to your own fief, anything goes. Because people are mobile, he will not restrict where people go. People can go wherever they want, as long as they can fill their stomachs and have a good life.

Correspondingly, for configurations like schools and hospitals, the King's idea is joint operation, but this joint operation..."

Sanxin remembered what Baifeng said about not being allowed to reveal the Establishment System, so he felt it was not yet a good time to explain this issue.

Zhu asked eagerly: "Joint operation, what is called joint operation? You have to explain it clearly to us, you're going to drive us crazy!"

Sanxin thought for a moment before saying: "Because some of the core content of this joint operation, the King said, is still in a planning state, and it has a lot to do with some things in the future. It cannot be revealed to the outside until it is perfected. I haven't even figured it out myself, so it's impossible for me to tell you. If I said it, the King would have to punish me."

Changxu was emitting a smell of bird droppings, but he urged just as anxiously: "Oh, then you just pick what you can tell us and tell us, right? There are only these people here, I feel it's not a big problem.

Geng is now without desire or demand; he might feel that he is already satisfied as he is now. The Changping Marquis is young and doesn't have such long-term thoughts, so he didn't come today. As for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Marquis, no matter what, if the King has any good things, he will definitely consider him. Chi's family is in Huaxia, so it's impossible for them to fall behind us.

When it comes to contributions to Huaxia, although we are Marquises, compared to those few, there is still a distance. So we have to look for opportunities ourselves. Unless we die right now, the King will certainly not give us benefits directly; we have to strive for them ourselves."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Sanxin stopped holding back and started telling what he could: "The so-called joint operation means we provide the land and grain, and then for the people's wages, Huaxia pays a portion and we pay a portion ourselves. Only in this way can we attract people who were originally willing to stay in Huaxia to our fiefs.

After all, think about it yourselves: if a big town doesn't even have a school or a hospital, who would be willing to come? No matter how much grain is grown, what's the use? Unless we are just tricking those wild people, right?

If we want our Huaxia people to go to our fiefs, the conditions in all aspects must be a little better than what Huaxia City gives. Otherwise, no one will be willing to leave Huaxia City and go to our fiefs.

As for attracting talent, that is what I cannot talk about. Some people the King is willing to let go, and some people cannot be let out of Huaxia. But it's not to say that we are only given the worst. If our conditions are good enough, those talents in Huaxia who are also willing to give up certain things can also come to our fiefs. Anyway, this is the general situation, you think about it yourselves.

The King's ideas are too far-reaching and too brilliant. He can think of everything and has already arranged everything. It is very difficult, extremely difficult, for us to find loopholes in this. So it is best for us to follow the King's arrangements. Whatever the end result is, that is what it is. But in a word, this matter is a great thing; it just depends on whether we can grasp it."

Zhu was thoughtful: "Oh, I see, I understand. Then what about the officials? What should be done? It can't be that we arrange them ourselves, right? This... this is impossible no matter how you think about it."

Sanxin was startled and hurriedly said: "Of course this is impossible! How could officials be arranged by us ourselves? We only own the land but do not own the population. Wouldn't that be rebelling? You must not talk nonsense.

As for officials, the King said that when the number of people is sufficient and the nearby towns cannot manage them, he will naturally arrange for officials to manage them. We don't need to worry about this."
