The gentry in the hall looked at Wang Yurong, Xing Dongzhe, Zhang Ping'an, and Dai Zhenbai, and the four of them were not easy to make up their minds at the moment.

There was a sudden silence in the lobby.

Looking at the silent gentry in the hall, Jia Rudao was not in a hurry at all.

No matter what choice these gentry will make, it will not affect his big plans, with the support of Zheng Mingxuan's four families, as long as Guangzhou Port can be successfully expanded, the four families of Lin'an will rely on him more in the future, and he will not worry that the four families will not follow him.

As for the gentry clans in Guangdong, in fact, from the beginning, they never thought that all the gentry clans would immediately fall to him as soon as they met and obey the orders of the government.

However, with Shi Chun and a few people opening a breakthrough, and there are also people like Dai Zhenbai and Xing Dongzhe who take the initiative to come up, and win over some local clan forces in Guangdong with vision, Jia Rudao is still sure, when he first came to Guangdong, the investment of a group of gentry clans was enough for him.

And he believes that with the change of the situation, more and more gentry clans will come up in the future.

So, he has to make this rule.

If you want to eat meat, you have to be willing to give up your money and be obedient, otherwise you won't have to drink the soup.

This is the same as training a dog, he knows the temperament of these clans very well from the information collected by Jin Yiwei, and he doesn't have so much time and no heart to provide for a group of masters.

"Presumably, you also need to think about it, go back and discuss it carefully, and then come back to the official."

Jia Rudao knew that there were not one or two gentry in this hall, but dozens of clans, and there must be some discussion about such a matter, but now this is in the lobby of the prefect's office, not to mention that he is there, so they are naturally not easy to discuss, and they don't want to force them too much, so he thought about it and said.

Hearing Jia Yidao's words, all the gentry in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

What they are most worried about is that Jia Rudao has to give him an answer in this hall today, if he doesn't agree to the conditions he just proposed, everything will be free to talk.

Seeing Jia Rudao say this at this moment, it was obvious that there was still room for them, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Master Xie, the students (grass people) and others will definitely think about the words of adults."

Wang Yurong and the others bowed in unison.

"You are all gentry with great prestige in Guangdong, your clan and family are all in Guangdong, and ordinary people may suffer if Guangdong is in chaos, but you clans must be even more sad, after all, everyone knows that your clans are very rich, do you think those mob mountain bandits will reason with you?

So, don't take chances, and don't listen to rumors. Think more about the government and the court. The mountain bandits in Lianzhou and the Mingjiao mob in Wuping rebelled, the official has written to the imperial court, and the army of Guangdong will go to Lianzhou and Wuping to suppress the bandits and quell the chaos in the past two days. ”

Jia Rudao knocked on the table in front of him and said lightly.

All the gentry in the hall were in unison, and hurriedly bowed down to answer the order.

Everyone has already made up their minds in their hearts, and the first thing they do when they return to the mansion is to restrain the people of the Fuzhong clan from chewing the root of their tongues, and at the same time, they must also check whether any people from the Ming Sect have mixed into the mansion. This young pacification envoy is obviously not joking, he doesn't have much affection for the Guangdong clan, I'm afraid he doesn't mind copying the house for some reason.

And although Jia Nidao didn't say it explicitly just now, he mentioned it twice in a row in the matter of Lianzhou and Wuping, even if some people didn't understand it at first, they all roughly understood what Jia Nidao meant at this time. Wang Yurong couldn't wait to give himself a slap, he finally understood why Jia Rudao was unhappy to see him.

Wuping Mansion on Fujian Road can be a rebellion by the Ming mob, but Lianzhou in Guangdong is absolutely not allowed.

This kind of thing is actually nothing, and Jia Rudao is not the first time to do this.

It's just that after understanding, the gentry in the hall couldn't help but be frightened.

I heard that this lord has made countless enemies in the court, if the news spreads and the people in the court know the truth, it is not clear whether there will be an earthquake in the temples of the Great Song Dynasty, but I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm in Guangdong, especially those who know the inside story and are accidentally involved, they are the first object of suspicion.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the gentry looking at Wang Yurong and Zhang Ping'an were all full of grievances.

Isn't this a door-to-door grip?

Wang Yurong and Zhang Ping'an were also full of chagrin at the moment, but they knew that since Jia Yidao dared to say that the matter of Lianzhou was a rebellion in front of them, and even had already written to the imperial court, he was obviously not worried that they would dare to leak the news again. It's done, and nothing can be changed.

It's just that they are not the only ones who know the real reason for the Lianzhou incident, if it is really transmitted to the imperial court, they can't tell their innocence if they don't have a hundred mouths?

Thinking about it, it seems that today's visit to the prefect's yamen has long been expected by this young appeasement envoy.

People are ready for everything, just waiting for their own people to jump in, and then their own people will be in the urn with their eyes open?

"Then that's it for today, if you have something, you can go directly to Governor Ding's mansion, and the official will leave first."

Saying that, Jia Yidao got up and didn't wait for the gentry in the hall to come back to their senses, waved their hands, and left on their own.

Just as when he came, he came suddenly, and he left just as suddenly. It's just that the gentry in the lobby of the prefect's yamen really understand what it means to be two heavens of ice and fire.

It wasn't until Jia Rudao and the Weijun went out that Wang Yurong and the others came back to their senses, and the voices of "Congratulations to the Lord" sounded unevenly.

"Okay, everyone, your lord is gone, don't be so restrained, don't be so restrained."

Ding Daquan looked at the group of gentry who were a little distracted and depressed in the hall, and he was really a little funny, and reminded in a harmonious voice.

"Lord Ding, you always appease the people around your lord, can you tell me what it means to appease your lord? Otherwise, I really don't have the bottom in my heart. ”

Xing Dongzhe is the oldest among the gentry, the oldest and the same status, and at this moment, he can only sell his old face again.

"Your Excellency doesn't mean anything. Didn't you just make it clear to you what you mean? Could it be that you didn't understand? ”

Ding Daquan said in surprise.

When these gentry didn't come before, none of them took him, the prefect of Guangzhou, to heart, and seeing them begging for him at this moment, Ding Daquan was also happy to pretend to be stupid and dry them.

"Before, I was too anxious in my heart, so I collided with the prefect, and I asked the prefect not to remember the villain, and forgive me."

Dai Zhenbai interjected at this time.

As a businessman, Dai Zhenbai could naturally understand what Ding Daquan meant by holding the shelf, so he bowed very simply.

Seeing Dai Zhenbai like this, Ding Daquan couldn't do too much, not to mention that he didn't plan to embarrass these gentry very much, after all, Jia Yidao would have more places to use them in the future.

"My lord's meaning is very simple, if you come here only for profit, it will not work. If we can stand in the position of the government and follow in the footsteps of the government in the future, then everything will be easy to discuss. This official is here to tell you a heartfelt word, if the gentry clan in Guangdong wants to be as happy as those previous pacification envoys, they can either only follow the adults, or they can leave Guangdong Road as soon as possible while there is still a chance. ”
