Chapter 288 A bright future
When Tian Ze learned about this, he smiled knowingly.
He had already guessed this situation.
All the princes in the world have been forced into a desperate situation by Tian Ze. Now, let alone them, even the aristocratic families under the rule of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others find it extremely difficult to relocate some people.
Even Yuan Shao, who was very kind to the aristocratic families, directly stated the price.
If you want to move the population from his rule to the territory under Tian Ze's command, it is not impossible. Just take one person away and hand over ten people from your own family to him.
Don't be fooled by the exaggerated exchange rate.
Even so, only those noble families who are highly trusted and valued by Yuan Shao are eligible to redeem it.
After all, what all the princes lack most now is population. Releasing the population would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.
The world's population has already been taken, so it is difficult to add a few hundred people, not to mention the development of the Northeast, which requires a population of tens of thousands.
At this time, people all over the world suddenly realized that the problem of refugees that the Han Dynasty had been unable to solve had been completely solved at some point.
There are still many poor people in the world today, but there are no more refugees and few people starve to death.
The large-scale population losses caused by famine, plague, and war, which were very frequent in the past, are now almost rare.
It seems to have become a consensus that even when the various princes were fighting each other, they were careful to avoid harming the people on both sides.
Under Tian Ze's subtle influence, this era when there was no crowing of roosters for thousands of miles and bones were exposed in the wild has changed.
"My lord, the various schools of thought would like to ask you to provide some population to assist them in developing the Northeast. We think this matter can be turned into a business." Chen Gong's eyes showed a hint of excitement.
That’s a hundred families!
After this debate among the hundreds of schools of thought, he finally figured it out.
Even though they have been suppressed for hundreds of years, the foundation of the Hundred Schools of Thought is still there, and they are quite profitable.
It's time to squeeze the squeeze.
Tian Ze's mouth curled up slightly: "Gongtai, what you said is very true. I never do business that loses money."
"Zi Bu, you and Gongtai should draw up a charter during this time to see how to get these people from the Hundred Families to work for us. Don't show any mercy and squeeze them as hard as you can."
"It's one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. They don't want population, but there are plenty of people who do."
The pigs have been fattened and it's time to slaughter them.
Zhang Zhao, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the two kings and ministers who were like weasels trying to steal chickens.
孽 孽!
He had long guessed that Tian Ze had no good intentions from the beginning when he gave land to these hundreds of families.
Originally, these lands belonged to Tianze, the population belonged to Tianze, and the development work also belonged to Tianze.
Now, the land is given to the Bai family by Tianze, and the Bai family needs to work for Tianze to earn money. After the land is developed, the Bai family will have to come under the jurisdiction of Tianze along with the people and land, and express their gratitude to Tianze.
Isn't this just a waste of money?
Tian Ze did nothing but arouse competition among the Baijia, and then made the Baijia work for him to pay off his debts, so that he could get a better identity and continue working.
If the world was only this big, it would be fine. But Zhang Zhao had seen the world map before.
The real world is so big that it is more than enough to divide up all the princes, families, and powerful clans.
After they open their eyes and see the world, the land will probably not be valuable, unless the Han people develop for a few hundred more years and the population expands to a certain extent.
Therefore, from Zhang Zhao's perspective, he always felt that Baijia had been sold out by Tian Ze and had to count money for Tian Ze.
As if noticing Zhang Zhao's strange look, Tian Ze coughed lightly.
"In the future, all the schools will eventually go global. I'm giving them a chance to practice in advance, and they should be grateful."
As a qualified "landlord", Tian Ze now has a deep understanding of the essence of "exploitation".
Simple exploitation is just a waste and inefficient use of resources. Only by fattening up the resources while exploiting them moderately can we maximize our profits.
To some extent, this is also called a win-win situation.
Xun You nodded in agreement.
Although Tian Ze didn't seem to have given anything, he actually gave the most precious thing: opportunity!
They are both workers, but the identities of workers and subsidiaries are different.
For the penniless Baijia, what does it matter to have such an opportunity and work for Tian Zebai for decades?
"Judging from the results of this debate, developing the Northeast with the efforts of hundreds of schools of thought should have relatively ideal results. However, each school of thought has its own strengths, so I still suggest that Zigan Gong can act as a matchmaker, so that everyone can display their abilities and jointly develop the Northeast," said Chen Gong.
Tian Ze nodded: "We should also come up with a set of rules and regulations as soon as possible and come up with a reward and punishment system. After all, we agreed at the beginning that the total amount of these lands will remain unchanged, and the proportion will be adjusted according to the governance results of the Hundred Families."
"Those who help develop will be rewarded more, and those who develop slowly will have their land reduced. In this way, they will naturally cooperate with each other."
When Chen Gong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"My Lord, you are so talented! This will not only promote cooperation among all the families, but will also accelerate their development. It is really killing two birds with one stone."
Zhang Zhao and others also nodded.
Under this rule, all the companies will be happy to assist others in development, because as long as the rules are relatively reasonable, this will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages to them.
But at the same time, Baijia will also consider the pros and cons of inviting others to develop.
If one's own development is too slow, and one invites some schools that are good at development to help, but the speed of development is greater than the cost of the assistance, they will certainly be happy to do so. On the contrary, they will not agree.
Schools with real talent and ability will naturally be popular, thus forcing those schools with relatively insufficient governance capabilities to change and grow themselves.
"My lord, it is better to define a minimum territory. Otherwise, some schools will die out over time," Xun You suggested.
Tian Ze nodded and said, "Gongda is right. Even if the younger generations of these schools are not up to par, they were once glorious after all, so they should be given a chance to turn things around."
"Then let's set it as 100,000 acres. If we manage it well, it won't be a problem to build a county."
"My lord, please be merciful!" Xun You bowed in admiration.
"In addition, regarding population, you can buy on credit, but you have to pay interest. You can decide the specific scale yourself. This matter is to borrow the power of the Hundred Families to help us develop the Northeast, and we should try to maximize their power."
"Also, explain this matter clearly to the people of the Hundred Families to prevent them from getting upset. Tell them that their efforts now will not be in vain, and I will compensate them accordingly in the future."
"Work hard for me, and you will have a bright future."
