[PS: I wish my friends a happy Zongzi Festival, and I also wish friends who take the college entrance examination can be named on the gold list. 】

In the end, Fan Jinyan and the villagers of more than a dozen surrounding villages purchased most of the new crops in the form of IOUs, and then donated them to the people of the whole state in his own name, realizing the popularization of the new crops in the whole state.

His action undoubtedly won the favor of the people under his rule, and invisibly, his image in the minds of the people reached a new height.

However, Fan Jinyan's series of actions still caused dissatisfaction among the local landlords, the biggest of which belonged to Li Tong and Cheng Xuan. For a long time, they have cleverly seized the land of the people, forcing the people to be exploited and enslaved by them in order to survive.

Now it is different, although the good land is all in the hands of the landlord, but the new crops do not pick the land, the more mountainous and sandy the land, the better the harvest. The common people no longer depend on them for survival, will they still be as obedient as before?

The sense of crisis forced them to gather and discuss how to maintain their superior status.

The largest landlord in Yazhou is Li Tong, and these small landlords are also the only ones who look ahead. At this time, large and small landlords gathered in the Li Mansion to complain to Li Tong.

"My lord, you have an idea, and if you let Lord Zhizhou do it, there will be no place for us to stand in this Yazhou." It was a white-bearded old man who spoke, he was holding a cane, and with the support of his juniors, he stood up and saluted Li Tong with his fists, with an indescribable respect.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other people immediately echoed it, accusing Xinzhizhou Fan Jinyan of cutting off their financial routes and forcing them to a dead end.

Li Tong raised his eyelids as if he had just woken up, glanced at the landlords who were full of complaints below, and sneered in his heart, Lao Tzu is the largest landlord in Yazhou and has not complained, you are complaining about a ghost, no matter how high the yield of new crops is, after all, it is still miscellaneous grains, no matter how much there is in the mountains and sandy land, it will not be able to grow rice after all, you know, rice can be sold for money, in this way, can those mud legs still get out of Lao Tzu's control? Are you preparing for a rebellion? A bunch of short-sighted idiots.

Can a person who can multiply his family business dozens of times in just ten years be stupid?

Thinking of this, Li Tong immediately found an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to Fan Jinyan, aren't you guys unconvinced? Then Lao Tzu will help you and let you make things bigger, and it is best to kill a few people. Finally, let our Zhizhou master clean up the mess.

"Everyone, don't be impatient." After revealing a hint of imperceptible cunning at the corner of Li Tong's mouth, he said: "Yazhou has always been our final say, but now a little doll is in charge, not only does he not take us local gentry seriously, but also helps the mud legs to oppose us everywhere. Now, the trial planting of new crops has been successful, and the people are even more obedient to him. If this continues, can I still survive? ”

His words simply reached the hearts of the landlords, and only Cheng Zhou, who was sitting next to him, was confused.

Isn't he already planning to follow Lord Zhizhou?

Why did you start to disagree with Fan Jinyan?

However, Cheng Xuan knew that Li Tong would tell him afterwards, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and waited for everyone to leave.

"I wonder what your lord's plan is? We are all the only ones who look to the adults. The white-bearded old man continued.

After he finished speaking, the others followed: "Only the Lord is the first to look forward." ”

Li Tong was very satisfied with this result, nodded with a smile and nodded: "Very good, since you have this intention, then let's turn Yazhou upside down, and let that hairy boy see that I and other Yazhou gentry are not at his disposal." ”

After speaking, seeing that there was joy on the faces of the people below, he continued: "After you go back, you will send people to make trouble and prevent the planting of new crops. ”

Use of violence?

Hearing what he said, the landlords below looked at each other, and they all saw that the other party was a little scared. After all, in the past, they used to play a little trick at most and cheat the people's land. But Li Tong's meaning is clearly to rebel!

Seeing that these people began to be timid, Li Tong slapped the table and said angrily: "What? This is afraid, don't forget whose world is this Qiongzhou Mansion, are you still afraid of a hairy boy who has not dried up? In that case, let's all go back. ”

Seeing that Li Tong was angry, they reacted. Yes! The prefect He Yi is the boss of Qiongzhou! What waves can a stinky kid make? At this time, they couldn't help but think of their predecessor Zhizhou, didn't they die in the hands of the two in front of them?

Since there was someone to support them, the landlords became more and more emboldened, and after some discussion, they all left the Li Mansion happily.

………

It wasn't until there were only two people left in the room that Cheng Zhou asked the doubts in his heart, "Brother Li, why are you doing this?" Do you want to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Tong, and he sighed: "Brother Cheng, do you think that we are now the henchmen of Lord Zhizhou?" Are you wrong, if it was a confidant, why did we not know all this beforehand? During this time, I felt that things were not so simple, and in any case, selling good to him was not a bad thing after all. ”

Cheng Xuan didn't understand what Li Tong was worried about at all, but over the years, Li Tong was able to win countless games with his opponents, which definitely showed that he was smarter than himself. This time, what did he see again?

……

In less than a day, the news of the riots and resistance of the landlords in various villages and towns reached Fan Jinyan's ears one after another.

"Bang." Fan Jinyan slapped on the table, his face turned red because of the rise of qi and blood, and his eyes turned blood-red, hideous and terrifying, "Kill, all should be killed......

"My lord, I know Li Tong, and I want to see Cheng Xuan." At this time, the soldiers suddenly broke in to report.

Hmph, the two biggest landlords are also here, and I want to see what tricks you can play. After returning to normal, he said lightly, "Pass them in." ”

Contrary to what Fan Jinyan thought, when Li Tongcheng and the others came in, they were sweating profusely, and they didn't care about etiquette at this time, so they said to him: "My lord, the Yazhou gentry are reversed, and I hope that the lord will be rehabilitated immediately, if the prefect knows, he will definitely ask for the guilt." ”

Nani?

Aren't they in a gang?

This was really unexpected by Fan Jinyan, but he didn't trust the two of them, and said with a calm expression: "What are you panicking about? Could it be that they can still turn the other around? ”

After speaking, as if he had just remembered something, he looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "I almost forgot, the promotion of new crops, the biggest loss seems to be the two of you!" How? You guys weren't involved? ”

As soon as Fan Jinyan finished speaking, Cheng Zhou secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, just as Li Tong thought, Lord Zhizhou didn't trust the two of them at all.

Although he had already guessed in his heart, after hearing Fan Jinyan's words, Li Tong was still a little uncomfortable. But he still clenched his fists and said: "Since the adults don't trust the lower officials, then give the lower officials a chance to show their loyalty!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Fan Jinyan to speak, he turned around and left the yamen.
