Lu Peng's proposal to let everyone disband the family armed forces, everyone can also understand, who would like to want to have nothing to do, if it weren't for the lack of tranquility, rampant bandits, and no ambitions, who would like to really organize the family armed forces and feed those family armed forces who eat and drink for nothing, it will definitely be a huge amount of money, if they are disbanded, this money alone will be enough for those who donate, so why not go in and out.

Of course, there are still some families who are unwilling, but looking at Lu Peng, who has a firm face, he can only shrink his neck, now people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, the combat effectiveness and number of Lu Peng's Lu family army, everyone has seen it, if you don't give up the arms in your hands, Lu Peng will definitely wave the butcher knife to himself.

The hearts of the people have been scattered, and when this family and Lu Peng resist, don't think that anyone will help you. Under the power, you must bow your head in order to live well, or the Zhao family is still the Ding family in front of you, which is everyone's example.

So everyone said that they would immediately disband these armed forces after returning and let them go to farming.

"There is another item, since we want to develop a prosperous place, of course, we must rest with the people, this Ding family's more than 200,000 acres of land, I will be in the hands of the government, contracted to those who have defected, each mu of land, I will only collect 100 catties of grain from them, and then never add to the forced labor, and the land in your hands, I also hope that you can reduce the tenants' rent from the original seven layers to five layers, so that the tenants' lives can be improved, and after a year of hard work, they will not still be hungry and crying. Everyone will be able to work on the land with peace of mind, and there will be no more bandits, and everyone will be able to live in peace. ”

Such a proposal immediately caused a lot of repercussions in the Ming Hall, and the patriarchs of various families exchanged heads and ears, and then continued to complain to Lu Peng.

Lu Peng smiled and shook his hand gently: "Everyone, don't complain, listen to me slowly." ”

Hearing that Lu Peng had something to say, everyone shut up together, stretched their necks, and waited for Lu Peng's decision.

Lu Peng smiled and said: "I know that it will be a big loss for you to give up 20% of the land rent, here, in addition to my deep gratitude to you, I will also come up with something to compensate you, and it is possible that what I give you will be more generous than those land rents." ”

Seeing the eager eyes of the patriarchs of these dozen families, Lu Peng threw out his bait: "The war has subsided, and the salt farms controlled by the Ding family have returned to the hands of the government again, and I can tell you now that when I came, I had already applied for the consent of the Taishou to abolish the official sale of our salt farms, and completely put the right to buy and sell salt to everyone." ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the patriarchs immediately lit up. Although Xu Jie had promised to let everyone go with salt, after all, the person who was really in charge did not say it, and everyone was worried, for fear that he would regret it. At this time, with Lu Peng's promise, everyone's hearts were really happy.

"I will decide to restore the production of the salt farm, and recruit a large number of displaced people, expand the production, all of you here, all of you can participate in the purchase and sale of salt, you will directly buy salt from the salt farm at the price of one hundred and fifty yuan, and only need to pay another 50 yuan, get the salt guide we issued to you, you can walk in the vast land of Youzhou in the light, and traffic the salt to the place you want to traffick."

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen family patriarchs immediately rejoiced, and the Zhou family patriarch trembled slightly and asked Lu Peng: "What the adults said is true?" Is it really possible to have no quota and let us buy and sell at will? ”

Lu Peng nodded solemnly: "As long as you have money, as long as you have a way to sell it, the gate of the salt field will be open to you day and night." ”

"Is it true that as long as you pay 50 yuan to get the salt guide, you can walk in the land of Youzhou?"

"Of course, this has been ordered by Lord Taishou himself, and Lord Taishou's order is placed in the county yamen, if anyone still has doubts, they can go to the county office at any time to find files." Lu Peng once again affirmed the doubts raised by everyone: "And with this salt lead, I will not pay any other taxes and donations." ”

After getting such a guarantee, everyone began to be grateful to Lu Peng! Compared with Lu Peng's strong method, he pressured everyone to donate and reduce the rent, and in the face of the profits of salt, those losses were already insignificant.

Looking at everyone's eagerness to try, Lu Peng was very proud in his heart, interests are the foundation of unity, as long as I tie you people to my interests, you are my pawns, after all, business still needs you rich people to communicate and develop, and when I levy your fifty yuan tax, in fact, the biggest benefit recipient is still me.

Now that you have been disarmed, not only have the laborers been released, but the most important family has become a sleek fat sheep, as long as they dare to make a slight move, as long as they send a dozen servants, they can be completely destroyed.

After calming down the heads of the families who were satisfied, Lu Peng said to Xu Jie, who was hiding behind and probing his brain: "I have seen your back molars, let's say, how about our seizure this time?" ”

This is what Lu Peng is most concerned about this time. All his own development must be backed by money, and the liquor dividends of his two elder brothers are already a little insignificant in the bigger and bigger stalls he is spreading.

In Lu Peng's subconscious, war is not a money-burning thing, but a magic weapon to make a fortune, as the so-called cannon sounds, gold is ten thousand taels, that is to say that the war is together, and the money is scattered like flowing water, but Lu Peng understands that as soon as the war sounds, he can earn ten thousand taels of gold.

"The Ding family has ten thousand taels of gold in the cellar." Xu Jie's first sentence was this.

Lu Peng smiled, look at it, I'll just say, as soon as the bowstring sounds, there are 10,000 taels of gold, isn't this in hand?

In fact, there is nothing strange about this, the Ding family is not only a hundred-year-old family, several generations of accumulation, accumulation of countless people, but also controls the largest salt farm in the north, you see which salt merchant in the world is not rich and rival the country? This alone can give you enough money to reward the soldiers in this battle and distribute the bereavement benefits to the soldiers killed and wounded in this battle.

"It won't be all."

"There is also the 50 million money that is ready to be released to the state and has not had time to be shipped, plus the original Ding family, the total amount is not less than 80 million yuan, and as for jewelry and antiques, it is even more incalculable."

Now that he has copied so many treasures and silver coins from the wealthy family, Lu Peng has immunity, and he no longer falls directly under the table in surprise as he did in the Zhao family.

"What else?" Lu Peng asked lightly.

"The cloth and grain have been burned by the Ding family, and almost nothing has been seized, but 100 horses have been seized, 400 cattle and donkeys have been seized, thousands of sheep have been seized, and there is the iron material in their factory, which has reached as much as 50,000 catties.

Hearing that the Ding family has 50,000 catties of iron in their possession, Lu Peng patted his hands: "The iron is sold by the official, and the Ding family has so many private collections, it can be seen that the Ding family has long harbored evil intentions and has acted unsubordinately. Then glancing at the patriarchs of the various families whose faces began to turn pale, Lu Peng pinched his chin and said proudly: "Write a report again, I have made a contribution to quelling the rebellion, and I ask the court to reward me." ”

All the clan patriarchs couldn't help but feel a chill, and at the same time completely comprehended Lu Peng's shamelessness. This is really a complete knockdown of people, and they have to step on 10,000 feet, and they have to step on 10,000 feet, and they have confirmed the crime of the Ding family, so in fact, it is a blow to Ding Yuan by the way, and Ding Yuan will also be greatly implicated, dealing with such a shameless person, you have to be careful in the future.

Because of this twist and turn, Ding Yuan, who originally wanted to be the state pastor of the state, not only did not take out the capital to buy officials, but was also feared by the imperial court, so in the future, after the state pastor was implemented, Ding Yuan could only continue to be his history of the state assassination.
