The patriarch of the Gao family smiled kindly, and said to Bohai Taishou plainly, and his old parents said their hardships, his figure was lowered, his tone was pleading, and his expression was pitiful, but his words were sharp and full of coercion.
Gao Feng cautiously accompanied the smile and said: "The patriarch's difficulties are known to the official, but now is an extraordinary period, taking out the land to settle the people, this is fundamental, and it must not be shaken in Youzhou, so please also ask Mr. to scatter the land in your hands that is not yours and hand it over to the government for disposal, so that I can transfer to my lord." โ
The head of the Gao family smiled indifferently: "Your lord's love for the people is indeed admirable, but there is always a truth in this world." Our Gao family has produced many high-ranking officials from the ancestors, no matter which generation of emperors we assist, we are conscientious and loyal, throughout our Gao family ancestors and ancestors, none of them are corrupt officials and cruel officials, oppressing the people. And now these lands in our hands are all bought by us with real money in the hands of the people, just like the so-called you and me.
There are also those people who are desperate, at that time they were in urgent need of money, or weddings and funerals, or birth, old age, sickness and death, they also begged our Gao family to buy, at this point, we are out of the good mood of helping the poor and helping the poor. Speaking of which, we are still the benefactors of those who need money urgently. โ
Then the conversation changed to "If you are too conservative or untrustworthy, I can show you the land deeds accumulated over the years one by one, if there is a forcible seizure, as long as the evidence is conclusive, my Gao family will be willing to submit to the law, but if we are all rightfully obtained, if our state pastor takes tough measures, it will make the world's good gentry dissatisfied, let's take out the axioms of the world, take it out and expose it, morality exists in the hearts of the people, and power cannot be taken away, Lord Taishou, do you think this is a truth?" โ
Gao Feng opened his mouth, and he really couldn't say anything else.
Then the patriarch of the Gao family smiled and said, "Since Lord Taishou is here in person, of course my Gao family is hospitable, and then strongly ask you to stay here for a few days, and I will let my clan fully cooperate with your investigation to set the record straight." โ
The dinner party was set up in the lobby of the Gao family, and all the main leaders of the Gao family were present, and there were as many as two or three hundred people. But each of them was dressed very simply, although there were no patched clothes, but there were no luxurious and extravagant accessories, and the carriages and horses they rode were all green cloth curtains, and they were only followed by a servant, and there was no extravagance at all of other families.
The banquet was set up, and there was no singing and dancing music of the family, just some slaves shuttled between them to serve food and wine.
Although everyone is still sitting alone according to the current popular trend, but on everyone's table, there are only two dishes and one soup, and the bowl of soup is still the main yam produced in Youzhou.
Even as the patriarch, the face is the same as that of the Taishou Peak, four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, and a pot of wine.
The wine is just a specialty of Youzhou. The head of the Gao family is as sweet as a glutton, and there is no feeling of being uncomfortable.
But even if it is such a wine and food, when I see the people below, every one of them eats with relish, and it seems that they have not eaten it for a long time, and they are still talking to each other.
This banquet made Gao Feng eat like a man's back, and the pressure was great.
Taishou Gaofeng is also a real person, so at this banquet, he thinks that this Gao family is definitely from an innocent background, and all the wealth he has achieved is reasonable and peaceful.
In this world, you can't suppress a person who obtains wealth in a reasonable way, otherwise who in this world will be willing to work hard for wealth in the future?
"But taking advantage of the war, you still collected a lot of land, your land almost occupies seventy percent of our Bohai County, the land that your family has accumulated with diligence and thrift, our Youzhou Mu is also reasonable, and our adults have been implementing, your family property is your standard that can never be arbitrarily deprived, at this point, please rest assured, but not yours, please also for the sake of harmony in several aspects, please let Patriarch Gao out."
In the face of the strong strength of the Gao family, the use of violence will lead to a situation where things will be reversed, just as the patriarch of the Gao family said, thousands of family members, tens of thousands of family slaves, and even the 100,000 fathers and elders behind them, if they are really forced to hurry, this Bohai Sea will be another bloody storm, at this critical point in time, this kind of thing must not appear.
The patriarch of the Gao family smiled and nodded: "What is mine is mine, but not mine, I will never retreat, for example, now, although I have a large number of land without title deeds, it does not prove that I was forcibly grabbed, it was the people who voluntarily surrendered to my name in the war and tyrannical expropriation, hoping to get the protection of our Gao family, and it is precisely because of my good deeds that I have today." โ
Gao Feng couldn't figure it out, so he humbly asked.
The patriarch of the Gao clan said calmly: "In this warlord melee, hundreds of people have been displaced, and I don't know what the so-called court officials are doing at this time?" Then he said bitterly: "They are fighting for power, they are fighting against each other, and countless people in their world have become displaced people, they are holding the people hostage, driven by them, they are invading the people's land wealth for their use, isn't this the case at this time?" โ
That's true, it's really irrefutable, so Gao Feng was speechless.
"But just when the people have nothing to rely on, the prestige power formed by our Gao family through our efforts over the years has gathered these people, and those warlords, because they are afraid of the strength of our Gao family, can only acquiesce to the people we contain, so in this troubled world, my Gao family has protected countless people, this original intention is the same as what your state pastor did at the beginning, but he is high-sounding, and I am doing it in obscurity."
Then he glanced at Gao Feng: "And these people who have been sheltered by me willingly bring their land here, is there anything wrong with this?" And I did not collect the land they brought to my name, but still let them own it, but I only collected some management fees, just like your state shepherd, it is a reason to collect land rent from his own people, is there anything wrong with me? โ
Standing up, he said to Gao Feng with a heartbroken attitude: "I admire what Lord Zhou Mu has done, and I am also practicing his goals and ideals and learning from his methods, so please go back and ask, if I am wrong, then Lord Taishou is right?" โ
So Gao Feng ran back in disgrace.
