115 - Hand over all the land?

Next.

The wind stopped and the snow stopped, and the temperature was dry and cold.

When he opened his mouth to speak, he emitted white air.

Due to the completion of various matters, Liu Ye planned to return to Zhuo County after breakfast.

However, just as Liu Ye instructed Zhang Fei and Dian Wei to prepare for the road and other matters, the county magistrate came in a hurry.

"Xiaguan meets Master Hou!" The prefectural magistrate made a salute.

"Please, no need to be polite." Liu Ye stretched out his hand to help.

"Lord Hou, since the bumper harvest of grain in Yicheng, there have been patriarchs and heads of the family and the wang clan who have come to meet the lower officials, intending to discuss cooperation and other matters......"

A moment later, the county magistrate will come to the confession.

Roughly it means –

Seeing Liu Ye's grain, which led to a bumper harvest of grain, the family wanted to cooperate, as long as the grain seeds were not handed over to the land.

Regarding the land issue, Liu Ye had already explained to Hua Xin and the county magistrate.

Therefore, only the seeds were purchased and the land was not handed over, which was decisively rejected by the county magistrate.

At this time, the patriarchs and heads of the family learned that Liu Ye was crowned by His Majesty to protect the 'Shanggu' Wuhuan Captain, and he held the festival.

This means that Zhuojun is too guarded by Liu Ye, not only leading the military defense of Youzhou, but also reintegrating Shanggu into the territory of Youzhou, and all the fifty-three tribes in the south of Wuhuan are under Liu Ye's command.

The patriarchs and leaders of the various families are not stupid, because of the existence of Liu Ye, the southern part of Wuhuan will be surrendered, and it will not be harassed and plundered by the Wuhuan cavalry in the future.

Similarly, some people think that this is what he Liu Ye should do as a general of Beizhonglang, and there is no need to go to thank him.

However, this is the idea of a minority.

Most people still want to get Liu Ye's protection, after all, his rights are already greater than that of Liu Yan.

So, when everyone heard that Liu Ye had returned from Wuhuan, they rushed to Yicheng to try to talk about the land issue again.

"Since they know Benhou's attitude, why are they still here?" Liu Ye asked.

"Back to the Hou Ye, it is no longer a problem of the heads of the families and the people in charge, but from the various farmers." The county magistrate said.

Liu Ye frowned, puzzled.

The county magistrate said: "Back to Hou Ye, many farmers rushed to Yicheng and asked to plant crops here, not asking for surplus food at home, just not being hungry, and getting the protection of Hou Ye." ”

"I see." Liu Ye said with a smile: "The feeling is that the patriarchs and heads of the families are under too much pressure, and I am afraid that there will be no farmers to plant farmland for them, so they will have a thick face and come to meet Benhou." ”

"Master Hou, since each family is in a passive situation, it is better to take the opportunity to squeeze the land in their hands to the minimum, I believe they will not disagree, after all, the farmers' hearts are towards Lord Hou." The county magistrate said.

Liu Ye didn't speak, only the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Xiaguan will arrange it." The prefectural magistrate understood, turned and left.

…………

It won't take half an hour.

The prefectural governor's residence, the meeting room.

Liu Ye sat in the center, with Dian Wei and Hua Xin guarding on both sides.

Under the leadership of the county magistrate, more than ten patriarchs and people in charge entered one after another.

"I'll wait to see Master Hou!" The crowd spoke.

"Excuse me, please get up." Liu Ye stretched out his hand to help, "You came to see Ben Hou, I don't know what happened?" ”

"Back to the words of the Hou Ye."

A man with a fat body and a shape like a winter melon said: "Hou Ye first suppressed the Yellow Turban rebels, and then defeated the Wuhuan cavalry, and was enshrined by His Majesty as the captain of the Wuhuan Captain who protected the 'Shanggu', which made us both admired and grateful, and we could not repay it. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Master Hou is my great benefactor."

"I can't wait for anything to be rewarded."

The rest chimed in.

"During this period, we heard that Hou Ye received the seeds taught by the gods, which increased the grain for the people of Yicheng by nearly five times, and we were shocked to hear about it, so we came here today to ......."

At this point, the Continuation Ear Guard walked in from outside and said, "Lord Hou, the Li clan of the Yicheng Wang clan asks to see you." ”

"Oh? Invite him in. ”

"No." The guard turned and left.

Seeing the guards leaving, the dwarf winter melon said again: "I'll try to cooperate with Hou Ye for mutual benefit and win-win results, and the conditions are casual." ”

Originally, Liu Ye just said that in a dream, he was given food by the white-bearded old fairy, but it could be transmitted to the ears of others, but it became a fairy to teach seeds, as if there was no dream, but there were really immortals.

Liu Ye didn't care about these details, but pretended to be puzzled, "How do you want to cooperate?" ”

"I heard that Master Hou had previously cooperated with the Li clan of the Yicheng Wang clan, and the grain was divided into four or six points, so he ......"

Without waiting for the dwarf winter melon to finish speaking, the patriarch of the Li clan walked in from outside and said, "Li family, meet Master Hou!" ”

"No need to be polite, just as I was talking about you, you came." Liu Ye said with a smile.

"Oh?" The patriarch of the Li clan couldn't help but be stunned, and turned to look at the others, "You are also here to return the land?" ”

Surrender of land?

When everyone heard this, they were puzzled.

They are clearly here to cooperate, what does it mean to return the land?

"Return the land? I don't know the patriarch, how do you say this? Liu Ye asked.

"Go back to the Hou Ye! A few months ago, I listened to Hou Ye raise the issue of grain planting.

Not only was the grain harvested abundantly, but the damage of the Wuhuan cavalry was also avoided.

If there was no Hou Ye, there would be no people in Yicheng today.

As a token of gratitude, I am willing to hand over all the land.

Store more food for the people, for the Hou Ye, and for Youzhou, so as to resist foreign invaders! ”

After the patriarch of the Li clan finished speaking, he bowed extremely solemnly.

Surrender all land!!

In an instant, everyone present was stunned on the spot.

Land is the life of a noble family and a family, and without land, it is tantamount to losing the foundation.

What's more, the land was bought by our ancestors with wisdom and blood, how can it be returned?

"Please make it happen!" The patriarch of the Li clan bowed his knees and kowtowed, full of sincerity.

"This ......" the county magistrate couldn't pay attention to it, and looked at Liu Ye, "Master Hou, ...... you look"

Suddenly, Liu Ye got up and walked towards the Li clan patriarch, and leaned over to help him up, "Is this true?" ”

Liu Ye was not polite, because he had been waiting for this day for a long, long time.

"Naturally, take it seriously, I don't dare to deceive Master Hou!" The patriarch of the Li clan said solemnly.

"Good!" Liu Ye said: "I, Liu Ye, thank you on behalf of the people of Yicheng!" ”

"Don't dare, please don't be embarrassed.

If there is no Hou Ye, there is no next.

It is to thank Hou Ye for the following. The patriarch of the Li clan made another move.

"Good! Good! Liu Ye couldn't hide his joy and helped the other party up.

At this moment, more than ten other people from the noble family looked at each other, all embarrassed.

"By the way, do you want to be four or six points with Hou Ye?" The county magistrate hurriedly asked everyone.

"This ......"

"I ......"

In an instant, everyone's faces turned blue and white, and they didn't know how to answer.

Suddenly, a timid voice came from the pile of people, "In the next, I am also willing to hand over the land, thank the Hou Ye for his great kindness!" ”

In an instant, the rest of the people all turned their eyes to each other, eager to strangle them to death on the spot!

Once the land is handed over, it means......
