The words have come to this point, naturally no one dares to fall behind, not to mention the three holes of the cunning rabbit, who knows how many of their family backgrounds, that is, the bright face is gone, as long as the people are still there, just find an old house and dig up a big pumpkin made of gold and silver.

What's more, after these people finished speaking, they all looked at the prince in the upper position pitifully, no matter what, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not do such a thing, this is too ugly, even Li Wenzhong only asked for 100,000 taels, and it was a big mouth to open for the price and repay the money on the spot.

Zhu Biao didn't speak for a while, this group of people felt a chill in their hearts, if the nobles were black-hearted, then no one could stop them, but on the scene, they all spoke in unison again and asked His Highness to accept their family wealth for the people of Jiangnan to live and work in peace and contentment.

Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing, and when he laughed, the rest of the people naturally had to follow the silly music, but their hearts were dripping blood, thinking that the efforts of the entire family for several generations were all gone, and it was better to allow Li Wenzhong at the beginning.

Zhu Biao put down the book and said: "Okay, it's not a joke for you, this palace is not a robber, how can I ask for your family property." ”

Everyone was immediately indignant, as if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want this money to look down on them, and they were all righteous and stern, as if they did not hesitate to die.

Governor Chen had a headache when he saw their exaggerated performances, and sure enough, the dog meat couldn't get to the main seat, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Where is this money dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince, it's just that I want to do some good deeds for my hometown fathers, not to mention that after the river is repaired, the business of each family will be better." ”

Sure enough, people in the officialdom can speak, but Zhu Biao really has no intention of asking them for money, let alone asking for all their family property, he is the prince and prince, and if he collects this money, it will stink on the street, and it will be spread all over the world in a few days.

Don't underestimate public opinion in any era, the people will not necessarily listen to the court, but they will definitely listen to the local nobles, no matter how lowly their status is, no one wants to miss the opportunity to scold the nobles.

Don't say that these people are just afraid of Zhu Biao's rights and say that they want to give away all their family property, that is, they sincerely want to donate money to the country, and Zhu Biao can't accept it.

People outside will not believe that there are really people who are willing to take the initiative to sacrifice their ancestral family business, they will only feel that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, Zhu Biao's identity is like this, and the world will sympathize with the weak.

Since ancient times, no serious emperor and prince dared to collect money like this, to be honest, the emperor asked for money with his face down, who dared not to give it, just like the Jiangnan family begged to give away their family property, but this kind of money is hot.

Therefore, if you are greedy for other people's property, you have to detain him for a major crime such as rebellion, otherwise how can you pocket other people's family property in an open and honest manner.

Zhu Biao doesn't care about criticism, but this kind of example can't be opened, it is natural to collect money and do things, and the Jiangnan family will make a big deal in the future, will Zhu Biao guarantee it?

What's more, the prince has begun to accept bribes, how can he ask the officials below not to be corrupt, including asking for people's shares, and if you get the official effect, you can't collect it?

Zhu Biao knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to mention the matter of the silver family, the prosperity and wealth of Jiangnan are also inseparable from you, but the poor people and the rich family are not what the saint and the palace want to see." ”

Everyone quieted down, the people in the towns and towns of the state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River were fine, but the people in the villages below lived in general, no more than the Central Plains and the north and other places where the cultivated land was slaughtered and the cultivated land was ownerless, and most of the grange land in the south of the Yangtze River was in the hands of the family, and the people were mostly their tenants.

Now everyone is a little puzzled, is it difficult to give the field for nothing to those cheap things, this is not a reason since ancient times, their family property is also the ancestors of several generations of hard work to save, give to the prince they have nothing to say, to the people below there is no reason.

Governor Chen opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness's benevolence is the blessing of the country, how to do it, please ask Your Highness to show me, and we will have a charter." ”

Li Qiantang smiled, why is the Chen family the first family in Jiangnan, it is based on the fact that the best 50,000 mu of paddy fields in Jiangnan are all surnamed Chen, and his tenant family has a total of 100,000 people, not to mention other livelihoods.

Zhu Biao looked at Governor Chen and said softly: "There are too many non-blessings, it doesn't matter if you feel at ease to be a businessman, but if you want to go up, it will be difficult, the palace will return to Beijing tomorrow, how can you think clearly." ”

Governor Chen's expression moved, and the rest of the family members who had children who had a career in the family also frowned, how could they be a businessman with peace of mind, and there was a dead end for talented people without officials.

Now relying on the foundation saved in the last years of the dynasty, ordinary officials are fearless, but with the stability of the imperial court, their power will inevitably weaken day by day.

Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and looked at the book again, everyone had the heart to discuss where to dare to talk to each other here, but Governor Chen quickly figured it out, money was of no use to him for a long time, otherwise where would it take so long to spend so long on a mere prefect.

As soon as Governor Chen wanted to speak, the head of the Zhang family on the side spoke first: "The former culprit stole the artifact and made the people miserable, and now I reopen the sun and moon on the pilgrimage, and the people belong to the revival of the people's livelihood. ”

After hearing this, Governor Chen took a deep look at the head of the Zhang family, and then said: "We are the heirlooms of poetry and books of the world, how can we be businessmen and the like, although the sages of Mozi have inappropriate words, but the sentence that the poor are good at their own and help the world is not wrong, as long as the tenants in the family obey the order of the government to dredge the river, they can get the land and acres to cultivate themselves in the future." ”

Zhu Biao smiled when he heard this, it seems that the words of Old Zhu who didn't like Mencius's words have been spread here, and I don't know how Yan Shenggong deleted the book, but he hasn't heard anyone scold him, and he thinks that he is still struggling with how to retain more fame.

The rest of the people also understood that it was impossible for the prince to accept their money, they were the princes, what they wanted was the stability of the people's livelihood, and they also knew how their own tenants were doing, and most of the year's work was given to them, and it would be good to be able to leave a bite to eat.

But if the harvest is not good or someone in the family is sick, they have to borrow money from the master's family, and if they can't pay it back, they can only sell themselves into slavery, and their descendants will be slaves in the future, and there are countless such people in Jiangnan.

Everyone responded, what if they let them go, a group of mud-legged people will have to cry and beg to sell their bodies sooner or later, just with their little land, it's no wonder if they don't starve to death.

Zhu Biao looked at Li Qiantang: "The Li family's selling illicit salt is a big crime, and the whole family should be beheaded, but if you go to the palace in person to ask for the guilt, you can't be forgiven." ”
