Seeing this, Su Shi, who was in the book, changed slightly, and didn't understand why Cui Wenqing said such words that insulted the dignity of the people.

And Ning Zhen also frowned slightly, and secretly wondered: This Cui Wenqing obviously won the favor of the people by punishing Ye Changchun with great difficulty, why did he insult the people in such a way? Isn't he afraid of stirring up even greater public indignation?

Su San, who was standing next to her, was also puzzled, she gently wrinkled her willow-like thin eyebrows, and said to Lotus Ye: "Lotus Ye, why is your son-in-law always acting so maverick?" Wouldn't such words cause great trouble? ”

From beginning to end, it was still Lotus Ye who believed Cui Wenqing the most, and she smiled confidently: "Sister Su, my son-in-law is amazing, this scene can naturally be easily dealt with by him, and he also has his purpose in doing this, you just wait to watch the show." ”

For the blind worship of lotus leaves, Su San smiled noncommittally, but his eyes flashed with curiosity.

In the face of the excited people, Cui Wenqing did not panic at all, as if everything was under his control.

He glanced around, and said in a loud voice: "Since everyone has any objections to the official's comments, well, let the official explain to you, I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

"Okay, you say!"

"You have to tell me why, or we won't let you go."

"Yes, insulting our people, you are simply more hateful than that Ye County Order!"

……

Cui Wenqing pressed his hand, stopped the fierce shouting of the impulsive people, and his tone was cold but sharp: "According to this official's opinion, the reason why you came to Xuzhou is not because of how good it is, but because you lack food and clothing on Jiangnan Road, and your lives are in danger. ”

"However, now that you have enough food and clothing, not only are you not grateful to the imperial court, but you are beginning to miss Jiangnan Dao, because Jiangnan Dao has a suitable climate, fish and rice in the countryside, and you can avoid the invasion of foreign iron horses, so that greed breeds in your hearts, and it is the greed in your hearts that makes you begin to dislike this land that helped you when you are in the most difficult time, and it is greed that makes you turn your back on the affection of the officials for you, the care and assistance of the imperial court, and the hard work and hardship of the officials in Xuzhou for months......"

The clear words resounded in the ears of the people like a heavy drum of thunder.

Gradually, the expressions of the originally angry crowd changed, and the voices of disbelief dissipated like a passing cloud.

Everyone carefully pondered Cui Wenqing's words, and many people showed deep thought, and even more couldn't help blushing slightly.

Is this Chincha-sama right? There is food, clothing, and farming in Suizhou, why do the people themselves want to return to Jiangnan Road?

It's not because after the reconstruction of Jiangnan Road, the living conditions will definitely be better than those in Xizhou, not to mention that they can stay away from the threat of soldiers and be a peaceful people.

It is indeed because of the greed in their own hearts that they have turned their backs on the painstaking efforts of the imperial court, the rescue of Suizhou, and the basic faith of being a human being.

Although many people can't read a single big word and can't explain any big truths, they know what is called courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, and what is called morality.

Cui Wenqing's words can be said to accurately concentrate the moral balance in their hearts, making them even more embarrassed under their sudden realization.

Looking at the quiet people, Cui Wenqing sighed lightly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, in fact, people are seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, where there are interests, they will fight, where there is harm will be avoided, this is also human nature, in the past, Jiangnan Road was difficult, and Suizhou was rich, so you chose Suizhou, and now Shenzhou is facing the invasion of the Liao, Jiangnan Road is singing and dancing, so you want to return to Jiangnan Road, which is understandable, but have you ever thought that you would do this, but it is three twilight and four, and Qin and twilight, If you have lost the basic morality of being a human being, when you face danger and difficulties again in the future, who will dare to help you again?! ”

As soon as the words fell, the people were even more silent, and many people lowered their heads and were ashamed of themselves.

Wang Laoweng also heard that his old face turned red and hot, and even his breathing couldn't help but become short, and fine sweat flowed from his forehead, and a strong sense of guilt also spread in his heart, making him feel ashamed.

Oh, yes! If it weren't for the acceptance of Suizhou at the beginning, maybe he would have starved to death on Jiangnan Road, but now because Suizhou is in danger, he will abandon it ungratefully, such an act is really too shameless and despicable.

Thinking of this, Wang Laoweng's face had already turned into the color of a pig's liver, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Master Cui is right, how can we become that ungrateful?!" Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, people can't do the thing of tea and coolness, Lord Cui, listen to you, let's not go! ”

"Yes, not leaving!" Many people also echoed their words, and the originally silent crowd instantly boiled.

Cui Wenqing nodded with great satisfaction, and said: "You can have this awareness, and it is not in vain for the official to say something, but the official sees that there are still many people who have not spoken out and have not raised objections, so let's do it, the official will give everyone another five days to consider, and after five days, the people who still want to leave will come to the county office, I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

Cui Wenqing's words can be described as considerate, and many people who are hesitant in their hearts nod their heads and applaud.

At this time, someone asked: "Master Cui, if we insist on leaving, I don't know if the imperial court can send us back to Jiangnan?" ”

Faced with this problem, Cui Wenqing did not hesitate at all, and said unswervingly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court is not a good hall, before the resettlement was based on the principle of voluntariness, and you were willing to come to Xuzhou, so the imperial court took on your expenses and food along the way, if you choose to leave, I'm sorry, the imperial court will not spend a penny, please return to Jiangnan Road." ”

When these words landed, there was a slight uproar.

If you rely on the people to go back by themselves, not to mention the long distance and difficult to travel, the cost of spending along the way alone is amazing, which is daunting enough.

Cui Wenqing's words can be said to have made those people who wanted to leave at a loss, and they didn't know how they could return to Jiangnan.

However, at this moment, there is nothing to be done, and Cui Wenqing also gave time to think about it, and many people chose to leave and make plans after five days.
