What would it be like to be on your knees and begging for a rent increase by a group of tenants?

Ye Qiange was speechless, feeling that these thousands of tenants were burned out of their brains.

Others wish that their tenants would be less rental, so that they could have more surplus food every year, and they would not have to live hungry and full.

On the contrary, they disliked that the tenant rent was too low, and took the initiative to ask for an increase in the tenant rent.

"Are you wrong?" The corners of Ye Qiange's mouth twitched a few times, and his voice was weak.

"Lord Wang, we are not wrong." The eyes of these thousands of people were wide open, their faces were firm, their words were sonorous, and their voices were especially loud.

"The prince is wise and discerning, not only killed Wei Quan's corrupt official, but also arrested those unscrupulous gentry and rich businessmen, and Jingyang is a bright place."

"The prince's behavior is as heavy as a mountain for us, and we have nothing to repay, but we only ask the prince to increase the tenant rent with all our hearts."

Ye Qiange was stunned, looked at them blankly, and for a while, he couldn't say a word.

I can't help but feel sour in the depths of my heart.

This is the people of Da Xu, this is the people of China.

They don't want much, as long as they have something to eat and can live.

So, Ye Qiange did this.

They felt that Ye Qiange had given them too much, so they had to be grateful, repay, and increase the rent.

There is a silly cuteness in the simplicity.

Ye Qiange looked at these thousands of tenants, all of them were yellow and thin, it was late autumn, but they were all wearing single clothes, their clothes were patched, some were torn, kneeling in the white mist, trembling, their faces were blue, but they still showed a strong face.

He was suddenly very distraught.

He didn't do much, and it was all his duty.

He thought to himself that he had given them nothing, and that no matter how much rent he had, it was only a small profit for him.

However, these things that he did not care about were as heavy as a thousand pounds and extremely rare in the eyes of these tenants.

Because these extra things can make them more satisfied, so that children don't have to live in the fear of eating this meal.

Even, in some cases, it can keep them alive and not starve to death.

Ye Qiange let out a long sigh, knowing that if he didn't agree, I was afraid that these thousands of people would always kneel here.

"Well, this king should go down, you get up first."

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Thousands of tenants were overjoyed, with smiles on their faces, and they all stood up, and then they cast their eyes over again, staring at Ye Qiange.

Ye Qiange coughed and said loudly: "In this case, then the tenant rent will be increased to forty percent." ”

Then, when he heard a snap, thousands of tenants knelt down in unison, looking at Ye Qiange with a sad and angry face.

Ye Qiange held his forehead, feeling that he had encountered a group of fake tenants.

"Or do you want to make it four-in-five?" Ye Qiange asked in a low voice, but the thousands of tenants seemed to have not heard of it.

Obviously, they felt that Ye Qiange was insincere.

Mo Mo and some other guards, as well as Liu Hua and a cadre of officials, all opened their mouths wide and looked at this scene incredulously.

They have never seen such a situation when they have traveled from south to north.

The tenants begged for a rent increase, but the landlord looked reluctant.

Whoever sees this scene will drop their jaws in shock.

"Don't push me!" Ye Qiange gritted his teeth, his face was full of anger, and he was almost about to jump to his feet.

However, it didn't work.

Thousands of tenants still knelt on the ground calmly and calmly, and there was a kind of momentum that if Ye Qiange didn't raise the tenant rent to the point where they were satisfied, they would kneel and die in front of the government office.

Ye Qiange couldn't help sweating, his face was helpless, he waved his hand in a smile, and said, "Fifty percent, fifty percent is always okay." ”

The words fell, but they fell like pebbles into the sea, and there was no movement.

As a result, the two parties began to stalemate, and thousands of people looked at Ye Qiange, and Ye Qiange looked at thousands of people, staring at each other with big eyes, and fell into a state of speechlessness.

"Get up, the prince said sixty percent."

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a voice broke the silence.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Then I saw thousands of tenants rise to their feet and scatter in all directions with joy, and disappear in an instant, like the tide rising and falling.

Ye Qiange was stunned.

Nima, what's going on?

"Did this king just say sixty percent?" He asked Liu Hua with a puzzled face.

Liu Hua swallowed his saliva, shook his head, and hesitated: "Should, maybe, probably didn't say it." ”

That's really not to say.

This king was actually tricked by a group of tenants.

Looking at those tenants who were full of joy, Ye Qiange couldn't help but smile, and his eyes couldn't help but redden.

What a lovely bunch of people......

"Lord Wang, how should this tenant be calculated?"

"This king only said fifty percent!" Ye Qiange exhaled a breath of turbidity, and stopped for a long time before turning around and entering the mansion.

After this incident, Liu Hua did not continue to entangle the tenant rent, although he believed that the fifty percent tenant rent was still painfully low.

But according to Ye Qiange's temperament, he will never increase the rent again.

Liu Hua smiled, with such a kind-hearted master, Jingyang people are blessed.

Back to the palace.

Ye Qiange asked about another thing.

"How is the location of the palace progressing?"

Jingyang, as Ye Qiange's fiefdom of the king, naturally has to build a palace.

"According to the prince's instructions, the little one chose three places, just waiting for the prince to decide." Liu Hua spread out the map of Jingyang County and placed it in front of Ye Qiange.

"Lord, look." Liu Hua pointed to a location, "This place is called Luohua Village, as the prince said, this Luohua Village has beautiful scenery, flat terrain, nearly 1,000 acres of fertile land, and there is a small river in front of the village, the water source is abundant, in line with the site selection conditions of the palace." ”

Ye Qiange looked at it and shook his head secretly in his heart.

This place is indeed in line with the location of the palace, but it is too remote, and it takes too much time to cross a few mountains on the way from Chang'an to Luohua Village.

To put it simply, it is inaccessible.

Liu Hua saw that Ye Qiange didn't speak, so he pointed to another place.

"This is Tianshui Village, this village is adjacent to Chiyang County, surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are thousands of acres of fertile land outside the village, the water source is more abundant than Luohua Village, the only bad thing is that there are too many mountains."

The corners of Ye Qiange's mouth outlined a trace of arc.

What Liu Hua said was not good, but in Ye Qiange's opinion, it was another matter.

It is a good place to have mountains and rivers.

Chang'an is located in the Weihe Plain, at a glance, it is difficult to see the mountains, Ye Qiange is a native of the south of the Yangtze River, accustomed to seeing the mountains and mountains, hilly basins, and has a soft spot for mountains.

"How tall is this mountain?" Ye Qiange asked suddenly.

Liu Hua was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, Ye Qiange didn't express his position for a long time, but asked about Tianshui Village, and the meaning was already obvious.

"The highest point is about 100 feet."

Ye Qiange's eyes lit up, and he said with interest: "Go to Tianshui Village immediately, this king wants to conduct a field investigation." ”
