Isn't this the first to make trouble?

Li Chao looked at the peasant who took the lead in making trouble with a smile, "Don't you think this is an iron monster?" Don't you think it's going to kill crops and eat people? ”

Of course not!

The farmers led by the peasants said in their hearts that if they go to Guangzhou once to earn 800 Wen, once a day, it will be 32,000 Wen in a month, which is equivalent to 32 taels of silver, and the fool will think that it is an iron monster, and the iron cash cow is almost the same, "I think that is a rumor."

"Didn't you say someone saw it eating people?" Li Chao asked again.

The peasant led by him knelt down with a puff, and those who could take the lead in making trouble were nimble-brained, he didn't know how to create opportunities, but he knew how to seize opportunities, "The villain also listened to other people's rumors, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to forgive the villain." ”

"Arise, as I said, he who does not know is not guilty." Li Chao raised his eyebrows, "But if you think it's not, it doesn't mean that others don't think it's either, for example, these villagers you brought, you are all from the same village!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Don't be a sycophant, I don't like it." Li Chao reprimanded, "It's not impossible for you to buy a car, but you must first disperse the villagers of your same village home, and ensure that they will not block scientifically made things in the future." ”

"It's easy to do." The villagers in the lead ran back and discussed with the other villagers for a while, but after a while, all the villagers dispersed, and then the villager in the leader ran back again, "Your Majesty, the villagers have agreed to go home, and they promise not to block the car in the future." ”

"That's it?" Xie Li's eyes widened, his face full of surprise, "Are they really all home?" ”

In the history of the real earth, things have not been resolved this way.

At that time, people were quite superstitious and stubborn, so stubborn that they needed to mobilize an army to persuade them, but here, it was solved with just one sentence?

"Ahem......." The farmer at the head coughed twice, a little embarrassed, "My grandfather is the village chief, my father is the village chief, and I am also the village chief...... In addition to being the village head, our family is also the patriarch, so it is somewhat prestigious, and the villagers will sell a little face....... ”

"You're saying they're only going back temporarily?"

"No, no, no." The peasant immediately shook his head, panicked, the crime of bullying the king is a big crime, although he is a peasant, but he also understands, "It's not to go back temporarily, it's not going back, it's not going back, I'm the village head, my father is the patriarch, with the persuasion of me and my father, everyone won't come out to block the car, I promise." ”

The village chief and patriarch are like the soil emperor in this era, and those peasants who have lived on the land for generations may not know who the emperor is, but they must know who the village chief and patriarch are.

"It's a squire!" Xie Li understands a little, since ancient times, the squire is a special class of the imperial court ruling the countryside, similar to the official and different from the official, similar to the people and above the people, firmly grasp the control of the countryside, even if it is the imperial power, it is difficult to shake the ruling power of this class, so there is a saying that 'the imperial power does not go to the countryside'.

In the Manchu Dynasty, the appointment of imperial power was at most at the county level, and the pavilions, li, and villages below the county level were not appointed by the imperial power, but were held by people with morality and prestige, and were not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

However, although the gentry were not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, they would also help the imperial court collect taxes and labor.

"It's the squire." Li Chao looked at this peasant, and what he saw was not the peasant himself, but the class of the squire, why would the peasants in Foshan block the paving of the railway? Why are trains blocked? Superstitious thinking and the mistaken belief that the train and railway destroyed feng shui were only one of them, and the squires did not do their best to assist the New Chinese Empire to pacify the peasants.

Before he came, he planned to use superstition to break superstition and show the so-called 'fairy law' in front of the peasants who blocked the road, but after he came, he changed his mind, instead of showing the so-called 'fairy law', it was better to lure him with profit and subdue the squire class, after all, they are the grassroots level of rule, even in the modern earth, the 'imperial power' does not go to the countryside.

"What's your name?"

When the peasant heard this, he became happy, and when the emperor asked him his name, he felt a great honor and hurriedly said: "Hong Jiafu, Hong Jiafu's Hong, the family's home, the blessing of blessing." ”

"Family blessings, family blessings...... Your father expects a lot from you. ”

Li Chao said casually, and Hong Jiafu knelt down with a puff, his heart was full of joy.

"Hong Jiafu, as long as they don't make trouble, I will allow you to buy a car." Li Chao said: "But do you think it's enough to just use cars to transport goods to make money?" ”

"Is that money really enough?"

How much is 32 taels of silver? One or two silver is equal to consistent money, consistent money is 1000 Wen, a penny can buy a steamed bun, an ordinary family of three, a year may not be able to save a tael of silver, this still refers to the wind and rain when the wind and rain are smooth, if the wind and rain are not smooth, let alone saved, not hungry even if it is good.

32 taels of silver, how many numbers that an ordinary family of three can't earn in a lifetime, but is it really enough? Hong Jiafu knelt on the ground, his hands clenched into fists, and his palms were all covered with sweat, enough? Of course it's not enough, how can 32 taels of silver be, I heard that the servants of those high-ranking officials and princes are several taels of silver a month, if they do well, they will be rewarded by the princess and aunt is dozens of taels of silver, he is a village head, the future patriarch, and only 32 taels of silver will be satisfied, how is it possible.

People's desires are endless, and when they get it, they want more, although they have not yet received 32 taels of silver, but in his eyes there is no difference between getting it, because the emperor Chrysostom said that the words he said were like water spilled out.

"Your Majesty." Hong Jiafu's voice fluctuated because of excitement, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Jiafu only asks His Majesty for guidance, as long as Your Majesty points out, Jiafu will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire." ”

Li Chao asked with a smile: "You are from Foshan, have you heard of many farmers in Foshan blocking the construction of the railway?" ”

"I've heard about it, and not only have I heard about it, but they've also contacted me and asked me to go with me." Hong Jiafu glanced up at Li Chao, and immediately lowered his head, "But I didn't agree, how dare I go against the imperial court." ”

"You said they contacted you?" Li Chao's smile was put away, what did the peasants do when they blocked the construction of the railway and contacted Hong Jiafu, the squire? Contacted more than one village that blocked the construction of the railway, Li Chao vaguely understood, "You go to contact them, touch them, if it is just to block the railway, I can let them go, not only let them go, but also give them a fortune, but if you have another idea, don't blame me." ”

Hong Jiafu's body trembled, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and hurriedly responded, "Yes." ”
