As Su Tiancheng expected, the first person to speak was Chen Yutai.

Pu Kaiqiang, Zuo Xiaohu and Tan Zongliang and others, have been playing in officialdom for a long time, and have seen too many things, plus they are in Shaanxi, they are not very popular, and the relationship is average, on such occasions, the three of them will not speak, Su Tiancheng's strength, as well as the relationship and influence in the court, they have figured it out, at such a time, they will not choose to work against Su Tiancheng, anyway, what responsibilities there are, they are all borne by Su Tiancheng, and they don't have many specific tasks, in the face of this mess in Shaanxi, they can worry less, Isn't that a wonderful thing?

Chen Yutai is different, the champion of the palace test, although he has been in the Hanlin Academy all these years, the people he can contact are different, and he has also seen the world, in terms of personal merits, he cannot be compared with Su Tiancheng, that is also because there are not too many opportunities, he is caught in the party struggle, and he cannot be reused, and now he finally has a chance, and he has become the prefect of Gongchang Mansion, how could he miss the opportunity.

What made Chen Yutai even more unhappy was that of the eight prefects in Shaanxi, except for Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang, who had special identities, the remaining five people, Deng Hui was a barely genuine jinshi, and the rest were all miscellaneous soldiers. Working with these people, Chen Yutai felt that he had lost the price, like a white swan standing in a flock of chickens.

In his heart, Chen Yutai was not very convinced of Su Tiancheng, thinking that Su Tiancheng was just a good opportunity, and when he saw such an opportunity, he could still do great things and make contributions.

"My lord, the lower officials have a different opinion."

"If Lord Chen has any opinions, you might as well say it directly."

Su Tiancheng remained silent, but he was annoyed in his heart, he was okay with Chen Yutai, because of Zhou Yanru and Zhou Kang's request. Let Chen Yutai come to Shaanxi and serve as the prefect of Gongchang Mansion, if Chen Yutai is a little more sensible, he can understand that when he comes to the devastated Shaanxi, he only needs to work hard. It is easy to establish political achievements, if this is not the case, Chen Yutai will still be in the Hanlin Academy, doing a revision that no one cares about.

"My lord, the cultivated land of the gentry and wealthy families is personal property, and cannot be appropriated without their consent, and if such a proclamation is issued by the government. When the time comes, the court will blame the lords, the gentry and wealthy families and scholars in the world, and they will also think that such practices are contrary to common sense, which is like blatantly entering other people's homes and stealing property, and then they will openly think that it is correct......"

Su Tiancheng's face had no expression. Qu Qingze, Su Pingyang and others couldn't sit still. Chen Yutai spoke too harshly, inheriting the inheritance of some people in the court, and many officials, hearing Chen Yutai say this, had a smile on their faces, and they obviously agreed with Chen Yutai's point of view.

Wait until Chen Yutai finishes speaking. Su Tiancheng did not immediately refute.

"Since there are people who have expressed different opinions, it is okay, who else do you, and if there are other different opinions, if there are different opinions. Continue to speak, and the official will answer as well. ”

After a few minutes, Pu Kaiqiang spoke slowly.

"My lord, the lower officials feel that what Lord Chen said has some truth, if it is forcibly done, I am afraid that it will cause some unnecessary influence, whether it is to play the imperial court, please ask the imperial court to decide......"

Su Tiancheng looked at Pu Kaiqiang, but there was still no expression on his face.

This is no longer an ordinary controversy, it involves an ideological controversy, a controversy involving the future development direction of Shaanxi, whether to follow the previous path, tinkering, or start anew, for this question, Su Tiancheng has thought for a long time, and has long made up his mind.

After Pu Kaiqiang finished speaking, Su Tiancheng still didn't answer immediately, and continued to look at everyone to see if anyone else had expressed their opinions, and after waiting for a few minutes, no one continued to express their opinions.

"Okay, just now Master Pu and Master Chen expressed their thoughts, it is estimated that this is also the concern of many people, but they don't want to say it, so the official will answer them one by one."

"First of all, to answer the opinions raised by Master Pu, before the official took office in Shaanxi, he had been authorized by the emperor, since the official holds the sword of Shang Fang and has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, then the relevant political affairs can be decided, as for the issue of responsibility, the official has already said, what is the problem, the official is responsible, the official is not a person who shirks responsibility, you just need to do what the official said the requirements are, it's okay."

"Regarding the question raised by Lord Chen, this official didn't want to answer, this official has already emphasized before, Fuzhou County does things according to the requirements put forward by the governor Yamen, and the rest of the aspects don't care so much, let alone carry out any discussion, this official doesn't need to discuss, the weak Shaanxi, what is needed now is not to discuss, it is for you to really do things, it is for you to change your thinking and understanding, to be able to calm down and do things for the people, and to be a real parent official."

"Lord Chen thinks that the farmland treatment method proposed by the official is like the practice of robbers, well, the official does not deny your opinion, the official has to ask, you are all parents and officials, looking at their families, struggling on the line of death, because there is no food to eat, because there is no clothes to wear, freezing and starving to death, what kind of measures should you make, whether you rub your hands, sigh for a long time, or really do it, lead your family to work together, to avoid freezing and starving to death."

"This official has long said that the situation in Shaanxi is special, the troubled times use heavy codes, the rogues here are ravaging, the people here are struggling on the death line, the people here are complicated, in such a situation, we have to make innovations, all the decisions that can promote the development of Shaanxi, can make the people have enough to eat, are good decisions."

"Many gentry and wealthy families in Shaanxi, afraid of the harassment of the rogues, have left, leaving a large amount of arable land, it is human instinct to seek benefits and avoid disadvantages, they leave here, it is also a very normal thing, but the official does not understand that many gentry and rich households, the family has a large amount of grain storage, is rich enough, for what kind of arable land at home, there are no tenants to cultivate."

"This official will not make decisions at will, before making this decision, some investigations have been done, the gentry and rich households in Shaanxi are really generous, do you know how much is the rent of an acre of cultivated land, pay eight buckets of grain, eight buckets of grain, what is this concept, the yield per mu is only about 1.2 stones, but you have to hand over eight buckets of grain, two-thirds of the harvest, if you suffer a disaster, the tenant can be said to have nothing, want to eat a full stomach, it is a fantasy."

"How much is the land rent of the imperial court, the land rent per mu in Shaanxi is equivalent to five liters of grain, that is, half a bucket, counting, the land rent collected by the rich gentry is sixteen times that of the government, which is really wonderful."

"Lord Chen said that arable land is the personal property of the gentry and wealthy households, and the sacredness cannot be violated, which is very good, but the official has to think about it, why did the gentry and rich families become rich, they guard the family wealth, seeing that the people are hungry and cold, and they are forced to join the ranks of the rogues, why don't they reach out to help and relieve the people."

"Speaking of which, you may understand what the official means, yes, the official is to let these gentry and rich households make their due contributions, what is the situation in other places, the official can't manage it, and he won't care, but the official has come to Shaanxi, then I'm sorry, the gentry and rich families in Shaanxi must do things according to the requirements of the government, if you are not willing to obey the arrangement, very good, you leave Shaanxi, you are willing to go anywhere, the official does not interfere."

Chen Yutai's face was red, he was originally born in a family of eunuchs, a typical gentry and wealthy family, Su Tiancheng launched this kind of practice, he knows the dangers involved, if Shaanxi does it according to this method, the gentry and rich households will suffer, he is the representative of the gentry and rich households, how can he not object.

"My lord, the lower officials think that what the gentry said is very far-fetched, between the rich gentry and the tenants, it is a matter of your will, if the government occupies the cultivated land of the rich gentry, it must also be approved."

"Lord Chen, this official has explained very clearly, you might as well think that this is a movement, if you have any opinions, you can make a break to the court, but you still have to follow the requirements put forward by this official."

"If the adults can't convince the lower officials, the lower officials will not follow it."

After Chen Yutai said this, the lobby instantly fell silent.

A cold smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"Lord Chen, this is not in the imperial court, this official will not care about any dead admonitions and other things, if you think such a reprimanding is interesting, you can go back to the imperial court to do it, since you have come to Shaanxi, you have to do what the official said, this official will not care what your identity is, if you continue to stay in Shaanxi, engage in a set of desperate confrontation measures, Shang Fang Sword is the first to cut off your head."

Chen Yutai's face turned pale, he didn't expect Su Tiancheng to say this, thinking that in the imperial court, those imperial histories and things, desperately admonished, the emperor was helpless, he couldn't imagine Su Tiancheng being so arbitrary.

"Lord Chen, this official also wants to emphasize that if the task assigned by the governor's yamen is considered confrontational, resulting in the task not being completed, the official must not only cut off his head, but also suggest to the emperor that he deprive himself of all his fame."

Chen Yutai's body shook a little, this is fatal, think about those imperial histories and things, because of his desperate strength, he won a good reputation, even if he was worth the board, it was a pity that Su Tiancheng saw through this, and even thought of depriving him of his fame, in this place in Shaanxi, just find a reason, you can ruin a person's reputation.

Inside the lobby, it was unusually quiet, and many people's faces turned pale, they knew that Su Tiancheng, who commanded the Jiangning battalion in many fierce battles, must have done what he said, and the army demanded military orders like a mountain, if this could not be done, the Jiangning battalion would not have achieved so many brilliant achievements.
