"Zhu Dadian? What did he come to do? Liu Fan said

"Of course, Xingshi came to ask for guilt! Last time you washed Jiaozhou in blood, he wrote to impeach you! This time, it came directly! I see him menacing! Something is not good! Sun Yuanhua explained worriedly

Liu Fan sneered, patted Sun Yuanhua on the shoulder and said with a smile, "An! Brother! Now I have a heavy army in my hands, and I am not controlled by others in terms of financial resources, even His Majesty can only entrap me! What's more, he is just a Zhu Dadian! The current Liu Fan is no longer the compromised and cautious Liu Fan of the past, as long as I don't raise the anti-flag now, who can take me? Not to mention that I still have the Shang Fang Sword given by His Majesty, how can I be afraid of him with a Zhu Dadian? ”

Sun Yuanhua nodded, and then thought that what Liu Fan said was indeed very right, although he didn't want to admit it, but Liu Fan did belong to the category of warlords now, and what he did was incompatible with the Ming officialdom.

Liu Fan continued: "That's right! Senior brother, you came just in time, I have something to trouble you! Recently, I have been considering re-measuring the land in Jiaozhou and implementing rent and interest reduction to reduce the burden on the people and promote the development of Jiaozhou. You give me an order, and we'll work together to get this done. ”

Sun Yuanhua was shocked: "Jimin! This is no joke! Land policy has always been a taboo in the imperial court, and even with Zhang Juzheng's ability, he did not dare to touch this matter at will. You can't mess around! ”

Liu Fan said solemnly, "It's really difficult to do this, I must handle it well, and now the land annexation in Jiaozhou is serious, and it has reached the point where it cannot be delayed." The people were bound to the land and lived a life worse than death. Jiaozhou wants to develop, and the army wants to develop, but they can't avoid this problem. No matter what the cost, I will do it! ”

Sun Yuanhua's expression also became serious, he looked directly at Liu Fan, and asked word by word, "Are you really ready?" ”

Liu Fan said firmly: "Yes! I've made up my mind! If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! ”

"Good! The old man's life was given by you! Today I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman! ”

With Sun Yuanhua's full help, the Jiaozhou prefect Yamen and Liu Fan's garrison jointly issued an order that before the end of the year, all the landlords in Jiaozhou should not exceed 50% of the rent, and the loan interest rate should not be higher than 3 points. On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Fan first implemented a rent reduction and interest reduction policy for all the nearly 300,000 mu of land under the name of the garrison mansion in order to ensure the order of falling stones, and set the rent at 40%. He also dispatched a three-person working group, mainly composed of students from political schools, to lead nearly 100 teams, including 10 soldiers, to go deep into all the townships and towns in Jiaozhou to carry out propaganda and supervision.

In order to win the initiative and popular support in the coming war, Liu Fan also gave some of the soldiers of the Broken Army a holiday, allowed them to return home to visit relatives, and asked them to help propagate Liu Fan's policies. This public opinion war is related to whether Liu Fan can fully control the Jiaozhou region of Shandong, and it is also related to the future political development direction of Liu Fan. Liu Fan has paid a lot of manpower and material resources for this.

After everything was announced, Liu Fan handed over the matter to Wu Tao to deal with it with full authority. As Liu Fan's status is getting higher and higher, there are more and more things to worry about, people's energy is limited, Liu Fan can't do everything personally, and Liu Fan also understands the importance of delegating power. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and propaganda and supervision also took a lot of time to achieve results. For this kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive matter, Liu Fan felt that it was better to hand it over to his subordinates.

The next day, Liu Fan invited the father and daughter of the Zhang family to come to Shihe to discuss the marriage problems that had been bothering Liu Fan. This time he wants to completely solve this matter, no matter what the result is, Liu Fan feels that he can't waste time and energy because of these children's affections, he came to ancient times to save the Ming Dynasty, not for the wind and snow, to fall in love! What's more, it won't be long before the Manchu Qing Dynasty will fight, if there is no strength at that time, everything is empty talk, and Liu Fan has already tasted the taste of power. He didn't want to find an island for the rest of his life.

In the morning, after the father and daughter of the Zhang family arrived in Shihe, Liu Fan personally welcomed the three into the house. When he saw the three of them, Liu Fan apologized and said, "I originally wanted to visit my uncle in Zhang's Mansion in person, but I was so entangled in mundane affairs that I couldn't get out for a while!" I have to trouble you to come to Shihe! Don't blame Uncle! ”

"Where, where! You're welcome! You're not as good as you used to be! With the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaozhou on his shoulders, it is normal to be busy! Zhang Yiheng smiled with a polite face.

led the three of them to the living room, before they entered the door, Liu Fan was big for a while, it turned out that Tian Shuying and Xiaozhu Xiaohe were already sitting on the chair in the living room, and they were looking out of the door at the moment!

Liu Fan walked to the hall hard, and when he looked back, Zhang Yao's second daughter also looked at the third daughter in the hall with blazing eyes! In an instant, Liu Fan seemed to see the sparks between the two groups of people. Seeing such a strong smell of gunpowder, Liu Fan felt bad in his heart. Laughing dryly, he said, "Let me introduce you to you!" This..."

As soon as the words came out, Tian Shuying suddenly smiled, took a few steps forward and grabbed Zhang Yao's hand, and said affectionately, "This must be Sister Yao'er!" I have long heard that Sister Yao'er is a heroine among women who don't let her eyebrows go, and today she can be regarded as seeing a real person! Come on, come on! You're welcome! When you get there, you're at home! Hurry up and take a seat! ”

Zhang Yao's eyes flashed, he glared at Liu Fan, and replied with a smile on his face, "Where!" Where! My sister is really a beauty who captivates the country and the city! Even I, a woman, am a little moved when I see it! No wonder Brother Liu is so stupid, I heard that even His Majesty has given you a marriage? That sister is going to congratulate you! ”

Tian Shuying's face was inconvenient, and she smiled, "If you want to say congratulations, then you should congratulate your sister first!" I heard about it the day before yesterday! Brother Jimin is furious for his sister! did not hesitate to bombard the city, I heard that I made a big fuss about the Yan family for my sister. He's so infatuated with his sister! It's like me, cheeky to stay with him, and he still ignores me! I don't see each other a few times a month! If he is half as good to me as he is to my sister, I will be satisfied! ”

Facing the two girls who were talking eloquently, Liu Fan, the master, couldn't say anything at all, Liu Fan coughed a few times and said a little embarrassedly, "What! Now that you all know each other! I won't go into too much detail! My uncle and I still have something to talk about! Let's talk first! ”

After speaking, everyone couldn't answer, so he pulled Zhang Yiheng, who was reluctant, and fled.
