Chapter 124: Overlord Clause
The Chicheng County Ya, which has not been quiet for a day and a night, is still brightly lit.
It was still the same banquet hall, the blood had been cleaned, but the smell of blood still permeated the air. It's still the same round table, and it's full of people. And sitting on the main seat is the youngest Qin Wang. Yang Xuan, Ding Chen, and Su Dingnan stood behind him. On his left hand side is Dong Zhuang, and behind him are Wang Ping and Luo Gang. On the right hand side is Yin Xian, and on the opposite side is Wang Ming.
In just one night, the power structure of Chicheng County was completely reshuffled, and those present, whether it was Qin Wang and Dong Zhuang who had just taken the throne, or Yin Xian and Wang Ming, the former bosses of Chicheng County, who were almost overheaded, were all a little embarrassed.
"Master Wang, you can start." The dust is settled, it's time to clean up the aftermath, Qin Forget said.
"Yes, host." The title of Qin Forget bothered Yin Xian and Wang Ming for a whole day, calling it an adult, right? On the official face, it is clear that the other party is white, and he is an adult. Call the Lord, right? How awkward to think about it, as soon as the two of them met in the end, they simply called the owner like Yang Xuan and them, one is suitable, and the other is close.
"After last night's battle to quell Li Wang's rebellion, our troops have captured extremely richly. The detailed list is as follows: 30,000 stone of various grains, more than 1,000 catties of salt, more than 307 cattle, 214 mules and horses, including 50 healthy horses, more than 2,000 sheep, more than 30,000 chickens, ducks and geese and other poultry; There are more than 500 pieces of various weapons, 35 pieces of leather armor, 60,000 catties of pig iron, and 40,000 catties of wrought iron; 2,500 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, and more than 12,000 copper coins from various countries. Other detailed lists are here. "Wang Ming is worthy of being the master book for a few days, and the accounts are very organized and clear.
"Very good, Master Wang has made detailed material statistics, which has laid a good foundation for our future development of Akagi. The kid is not familiar with civil affairs, Yin County Order, I don't know if you have any good proposals? The point is, I want to know, do we have enough supplies? Qin Wangle looked at Yin Xian happily.
The muscles on Yin Xian's thin face trembled, Qin Wang's words didn't have a problem in the ears of others, but the long years of observing words and expressions made Yin Xian keenly aware of something else, "These things are far from enough." My Yin family still has some food, and I am willing to donate 5,000 stones, not 10,000 stones. Yin Xian felt that his heart was dripping blood, 10,000 stones, in this troubled era, but it was worth more than 10,000 taels of silver.
"My Wang family also has 10,000 stones, and I am willing to donate it." Wang Ming is very calm, maybe in his heart, he can't wait to defeat the entire Wang family.
"Very good, thank you two Gao Yi, I forgot to thank you here." Qin Forget stood up and Xiang Yin
Now and Wang Ming made a salute, the two of them were startled, and quickly stood up, turned their bodies sideways, and did not dare to accept Qin Forget's salute.
"The owner can't help it, since the two of us worship under the command of the owner, we should only obey the orders of the owner, and the owner should not torture the two of us." Yin Xian and the two bowed again and again to confess.
"Don't do this two of you, forget to say anything." Qin Forget stood up and bent down to help the two of them up across the table, "I'm Chicheng Fangding, the most important thing now is to stabilize the people." My subordinate Wang Wen has counted the number of household registrations in Chicheng in the past few days, and after a few years of famine, there are only more than 5,000 households and more than 26,000 people left in Chicheng, and if you want to feed them, you will definitely not be able to rely on our current grain reserves, so I plan to divide the fields. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Forget stopped and looked at the expressions of the two. Seeing that after a short period of confusion and surprise, the expressions quickly became solemn, and they couldn't help but secretly praise, sure enough, they were all smart people.
"If two acres of land barely feed a young man, it will take 52,000 acres, and I have a lot of fields in Chicheng, but the borderless land that can be cultivated immediately, plus the legacy of the Li and Wang families, is more than 40,000 acres. For the rest, I still hope that the two of you will help. Qin Forget bowed again.
Yin Wang and the others listened to Qin Wang's words, first shocked, then angry, and finally mourned. Yin Xian slumped into the chair with a "poof", and his face was bitter and he was about to cry, "The owner is going to take away our land and cut off our roots!" ”
No wonder Yin Xian reacted so much, as an agrarian nation, for thousands of years, not only ordinary Han people regard land as their lives, but even high-ranking officials and wealthy people regard land as the most important wealth.
"It's not to rob, it's to borrow. I forgot to borrow the good land of the two for three years, and after three years, it was returned to Zhao, and there was a rent to offer, of course, it was certainly not as much as the rent collected by the two, and it was tentatively set at 500 Wen per acre. Qin Forget explained to them in detail.
"You want Liu Bei to borrow Jingzhou, right? Haha, Qin Forget, you're a little too shameless, aren't you? Yin Xian jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, pointing at Qin Wang's nose with his finger, his face full of anger and madness. His eyes were blood-red and fierce, as if he was going to eat Qin Wang.
"Yin Xian, pay attention to your wording, it gives you face, right? Do you think you have a choice? The four of you have harmed Akagi badly enough, if you follow me, you will be slaughtered all over the house. Yang Xuan grabbed the handle of the knife and looked at Yin Xian coldly.
Qin Forget raised his hand to stop Yang Xuan, didn't speak, and looked at the rampaging Yin Xian with a very peaceful gaze. This was Qin Wang's last time against him
This warning is also to give him one last chance, if Yin Xian doesn't know the current affairs again, Qin Forget doesn't mind doing what Yang Xuan says.
Listening to Yang Xuan's words, Yin Xian seemed to suddenly realize something, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he slowly put down the arm pointing at Qin Wang, like a flower under the scorching sun, slowly wilted, and fell back into the chair again.
Qin Forget no longer looked at Yin Xian, knowing that he had to give him some time to try to accept it, if he still didn't agree, Qin Forget could only use thunderbolt means. All in all, Qin Forget did not allow the existence of a great family and a big landlord in Chicheng anymore.
He turned to look at Wang Ming, who had been silent beside Yin Xian, such a big thing could still keep this person so calm, Qin Forget felt that he couldn't see through him a little, "Master Wang, what do you think?" ”
Hearing Qin Wang's question, Wang Ming smiled slightly bitterly, "Do I have a choice?" Take all the land of the Wang family, I don't have to pay it back to the owner, I just want the owner to have a place for me Wang Ming. ”
In this way, it seems that Wang Ming is much smarter than Yin Xian, since he can't change it, why not get greater benefits for himself?
"Don't worry, as long as you contribute to Chicheng County, I, Qin Wang, will definitely not treat him badly." Qin Forget promised.
"In this case, the more than 3,000 acres of land in my Dong family's name will also be handed over to the owner." At this moment, Dong Zhuang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
"Brother Dong doesn't have to be like this, your Dong family is still you who keep it for yourself." Qin Forget didn't expect Dong Zhuang to say this, and said with a little surprise, to be honest, he didn't think about dividing the Dong family's land all at once, but in the end, the two have a good relationship, and Dong Zhuang has been doing his best for Chicheng, and he really can't speak.
"Brother Yang is right, we people are insincere, and we are in charge of politics, Chicheng has my responsibility today, and the right should be compensated." Dong Zhuang waved his hand and said firmly.
"So, thank you Brother Dong." Qin Forget no longer refused, and said.
Yin Xian finally accepted Qin Wang's "overlord clause". Although it is a thousand, ten thousand are unwilling. But he was really alone, and the refugee rebellion two years ago swept away the entire small families and landlords in Chicheng County. The only surviving four families were forgotten by Qin again, and there was also Wang Ming's anti-bone boy, who used to be respectful in front of him, but he really didn't expect that he didn't stand on the same line with Yin Xian, because Yin Xian trusted him so much. Just show yourself, how to resist?
Now poor Yin Xian would never have imagined how much dignity and glory his helpless decision had brought to him and his family today.
