80. Negotiation

Although the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was punished by Xi Fangshi, his brain was still sensitive, or he did not dare not be sensitive.

The great Yu Dynasty ruled all the land of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and various forces were intertwined, and tens of millions of people survived here. Different interest groups intrigue and cooperate with each other, forming the huge machine of the Dayu Dynasty.

If you want to keep the machine of the Dayu Dynasty running, you have to balance the various forces. As a last resort, he has to eliminate some forces, these are all things he has to consider.

In his hand, a joint excerpt came into his eyes. He just looked at the name of the person who played it, and he knew that it was the Eight Pillars National Clan that was doing something.

"Chen Dugulong has a five-foot body, and he has been Emperor Fan for ten years in advance, and now he is Your Majesty...... The minister heard that the sage did not change the folk customs but gave indoctrination, and the wise man did not change the law and ruled the country. ”

“...... Now His Majesty went to the examination room in person, showed the title to the family, and led the cloth clothes to the ear room. Inside it hurts the dignity of the court, and it is easy to be disobedient outside. Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has shared the world with the family, not with the people......"

“...... Now there is a thing, at your fingertips, and the Ming Dynasty saw good goods, don't you think about it, when can you be satisfied? Now I want to be on an equal footing with the family, and then I want to replace it, and I am very upright......"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was very bored, so he picked up this piece and threw it directly into the furnace.

Seeing this, Hu Dan was unfazed, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, is it Dugulong's excerpt?"

"Yes, it's Dugulong, or it's a joint performance. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny rubbed his temples and said weakly. "It's still the same set of rhetoric over and over again, what is with the family, and what hurts the face of the court. ”

He snorted coldly: "If I rely on them to govern Dayu, then sooner or later the society will be finished! I still want to maintain their privileges? ”

"Your Majesty, practical measures can be taken slowly, don't be angry. Hu Dan stood up, picked up the hook and made the stove even more prosperous. "The imperial history who was born in the Eight Pillars Kingdom will definitely be the first to attack, but after all, they are only imperial history, and there must be someone higher behind them to support them. ”

Gui Yihu, he is doing death, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny thought angrily with ignorance in his heart.

The eunuch walked into the main hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, that man has woken up, and I have brought him here." ”

"Call him in. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny let out a long sigh and sat up straight.

Shi Yuanji slowly walked to the door of the main hall, stopped advancing, knelt down and said, "Long live Your Majesty!" and then prostrate.

"Look at him, Wo Bao!" Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven pointed at Shi Yuanji and said to Hu Dan. "A master of natural disasters, a mortal who is favored by Xi and the great gods, only has this bit of courage. You deserve to be swallowed up by Ding Yunzhi, all because you are too sloppy!"

Shi Yuanji raised his head and looked at the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, looking incredulous.

"What kind of expression do you have? Do you think that such vicious words come out of the mouth of a sixteen-year-old boy like me, and you are very surprised?" said the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, whose face was pale, but his eyes were very sharp, and he scolded sternly. "Stand up and come to me, don't you want to get your property back? ”

"Yes. Shi Yuanji breathed a long sigh of relief, walked to the dragon chair step by step, and looked at the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

The Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven walked slowly in front of Shi Yuanji on crutches. He was like a human-shaped ice sculpture, which made Shi Yuanji feel chills in his body.

"I ask you, if one day, you have a great goal, are you willing to pay all the price for this goal, are you willing to do whatever it takes. ”

"I don't know. Shi Yuanji replied truthfully.

"I don't know, haven't you thought about it or have no ambitions?" the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny laughed, not knowing whether he was laughing or smiling bitterly.

"I never thought of great goals. Shi Yuanji recalled his twenty years of life and said leisurely. "I'm just a small temple Zhu, living on 200 acres of land that is not bad or bad. ”

"Other landlords collect three or four percent, but my master has always only received two percent, and even only one percent when the year is bad. There is no other reason, because the imperial court has to collect four or fifty percent of the imperial grain. My master also taught the tenants' children to read and write, telling them not to be deceived when they grow up because they can't read. ”

"I was thinking, maybe I'll be the same in the future. Preside over the temple, collect rent, learn dragon patterns and spells, raise livestock and vegetables, sometimes drink a few glasses of wine, and collect a few apprentices, and live a life in peace. ”

The eyes of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny slowly changed with Shi Yuanji's words, from disdain to calmness, gradually revealing a little sadness, and finally snorted coldly: "You are really ...... Fortunate. ”

"Perhaps. Shi Yuanji didn't care about the changes in the Heavenly Mandate Emperor and continued to tell. "Everything changed when I was ten years old, when Master took me to the depths of the Kunlun Mountains and saw a god, so my peaceful life was completely gone. ”

"I used to delude myself into believing that all this was a matter between gods and had nothing to do with me as a mortal. But only now did I realize that in Pangutian, the power of the gods was everywhere, and I couldn't escape it at all. And what's even more terrifying is that the intrigue between people is the most fatal. ”

For some reason, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny no longer dared to look directly into Shi Yuanji's eyes, but Shi Yuanji looked at him neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny sighed softly, returned to the dragon chair on crutches, and said in a deep voice, "Are you complaining about me? I'm an apocalypse, what's the matter with another apocalypse all of a sudden?"

"Now I know that you are not the apocalypse, you are a mortal with adventures. I've figured it out, as long as you don't threaten my dragon chair, you can do whatever you want. ”

His eyes wandered, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he said in a trance: "If you want the land of Jinwuguan, I will give it to you." Whatever you want, you can try it. ”

"Your Majesty, I'm not threatening you. Shi Yuanji said calmly. "My master is indeed a god, but I am not arrogant because of this. A god once told me that power is everything, and that I could take it with the spells I learned, and I didn't do what she said. ”

"It's not that I want the land of Jinwuguan, it's a relic left to me by my master. The reason why I came to Fengho and entered Sungyun Pavilion in the first place was not for myself, but for the request of a tenant in Jinwuguan. He hoped that I could take back the land of Jinwuguan as a student, so that they could still have a good life. ”

"Good day, I don't understand, what's the difference between your rent collection and Ding Yunzhi's rent collection?" said the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, how much grain does the imperial court want the people to pay every year?" Shi Yuanji took a deep breath and asked with courage.

"Fifty percent of the grain produced is handed over. "The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny said it without even thinking about it, he was too familiar with this.

"Ding Yunzhi received 40% of the rent, that is to say, only 10% was left in the hands of the tenants. Shi Yuanji said this, waited, and observed the expression of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor.

The Heavenly Mandate Emperor was a little confused, and he looked at Shi Yuanji puzzled: "Go on." ”

"One percent of the grain, excluding the surplus grain used as seeds, is not enough to eat for a year. Then they have to borrow it, but who do they borrow it from? Naturally, it is Ding Yunzhi's Ding family. ”

So he went back and forth, and he was in debt, and the next year he had to pay off his debts. However, when the land resources are limited, the manpower is exhausted, and the food is still insufficient, they can only sell their sons and daughters or starve to death. ”

"I don't know if the 46 families in Xiaoyu Village who rent and plant Jinwu Guantian can survive this winter. All I know is that when I left my hometown of Begonia Town, there were more and more beggars. ”

Shi Yuanji knelt down again and said to the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny: "I want to take back the land of Jinwuguan, I only need your words, but what will happen to those people who have lost their land and can't even become tenants? Can you only wait for winter to come and be completely submerged by a heavy snow? Your Majesty, if you are really the monarch of all peoples, please think about them. ”

When Shi Yuanji confronted the Heavenly Mandate Emperor in Xiqi Stone, he didn't feel afraid. But now he was terrified, because Shi Yuanji's words made him hallucinate, and he felt that the dragon chair was shaking.

He hurriedly pulled out the excerpts about the north from the notebook, carefully examined the data one item after another, and it was not long before he was sweating profusely and his face was even paler.
