This statement is not nonsense for no reason, but it is extremely probable.

Since the Great Qin unified the world, all wars have focused on being famous, and they need to conform to the favorable time, place and popular will.

The people are short of food and have no food to eat, and this is the biggest place that can be used, and if someone takes this opportunity to make a big happen, I am afraid that it will set off a disaster.

The faces of many ministers turned a little ugly at this time.

They began to talk to each other in small voices, as if they were worried about how bad the matter would be if those family lords took advantage of this.

Zhao Hai's eyes were extremely calm, he didn't expect that he was just a rising Shimodia, and so many things had happened.

"Whether they did this or not, what they were going to do, when Chief Zhuang spoke, I'm afraid they would reveal everything."

"Let's go, let's also listen to what this Zhuang Changxun has to say."

Zhao Hai's voice was cold, and he took the lead.

Many Jinyi guards, as well as ministers, hurriedly followed behind Zhao Hai.

The group followed the old man all the way to a village not far away.

In the ancestral hall, the ground is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.

There wasn't even a space to turn around.

But even so, in the middle of it, there was a large piece of land, and this ground was a high platform, on which several richly dressed men were sitting and drinking tea.

Due to the relationship between many people and miscellaneous eyes, Zhao Hai brought people here, which did not attract many people's attention.

Approached with people and entered the ancestral hall.

And at this moment, the middle-aged fat man on the high platform in the center stood up, his face was originally ugly, but when he stood up and faced everyone.

His face suddenly became an amiable, smiling, very deceptive expression.

He opened his hand, "Be quiet, all fathers and fellow villagers, be quiet."

"Contemptible Xu Gui, I am very honored to be the agent of the lords of several major families, as the head of the village, for everyone's spring and autumn harvest this year, to offer you a little bit of the hearts of the lords."

"In the past two years, there have been natural and man-made disasters, droughts and floods, and we also know that it is not easy for everyone."

After saying this, many farmers were all happy, and they were still a little moved when they heard that someone was so considerate of themselves.

Then, the middle-aged fat man motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Now, I officially announce it."

"The grain harvested in the spring this year, the old men of several major families, will leave an extra 8% for everyone to live this year."

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the villagers who were still smiling just now changed.

"What? Didn't you say that it was one-time?"

"yes, why did it suddenly become this eight percent."

"Master, this can't be changed."

"Two percent of the grain is a small thing for you, but it's a big thing for us!"

"Please, it's good, you can't just come and lose it."

At this moment, the tenant farmers all began to kneel down and began to plead with the middle-aged man.

In the ancestral hall, there was a mess all of a sudden.

Xu Gui's eyes suddenly flashed with a burst of displeasure and contempt.

He scolded in a low voice, just these lowly and unscrupulous things, and now they still want to rise?

I don't know how many pounds and taels I have to weigh myself.

And in the next second, he didn't get angry, but began to sigh.

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, originally, I also wanted to exempt everyone from being exempted."

"The elders of several big families also had a bad harvest because of last year's natural disaster, and they are worried that everyone will not be able to eat this year."

"But......"

He sighed suddenly, as if something was going wrong.

Someone saw it and immediately asked, "Master Xu, if you have any business, just say it, let's do it."

Yes."

"Yes, Master Xu, what's the difficulty, just say it, the big guy has a way to solve it, as long as you reduce the rent more, it's all done."

At this time, Xu Gui said bitterly, "You all know it."

"The imperial court has now killed several elders of the Fang family and the Liang family, and also raided their homes."

"Think about it, the big men have all been raided, how can this rent be avoided?"

"Alas, this two-percent reduction is missing in this place, you have to understand Your Majesty, understand the imperial court."

"Let's just admit it, there's no way, that's the only way."

Hearing this, many tenants were dissatisfied, and some of them even scolded the court angrily.

Zhao Hai, Cao Jingchun, and Wei Qian, who were standing in the audience, naturally heard it.

"You dare to slander the court and confuse the people!" Jiang Xiaoyue was originally a military general, and a thunderous roar instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the entire ancestral hall.

Xu Gui also followed the voice and saw that it was a group of richly dressed people, not like local tenants, and immediately frowned.

"Who are you? Why did you suddenly come to our Zhuangzi?" Xu Gui asked.

Seeing that the other party didn't recognize him, Zhao Hai also stood up with a smile.

"Zhuang Chief, since you are the head of a village, you should be responsible for your words."

"It's not as simple as opening and closing your mouth, it will affect others."

"Aren't you afraid of causing any misunderstanding when you say this now?"

"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding did you say?" Xu Gui looked at Zhao Hai coldly, and was not ready to give Zhao Hai face at all.

"The lords of our families above said that they want to help the people, that is, they want to help the people, but there is no misunderstanding in it, don't talk nonsense."

"Moreover, the old men lost a lot of goods because of the imperial court, so they reduced the free grain rent for everyone."

"If the old man is safe and sound now, maybe he can reduce it by two."

Hearing this, the tenants all nodded, believing in Xu Gui's words very much, as if this Xu Gui's prestige here was extremely high.

"Yes! It's the court again, fighting every day, for a few women, it's really obedient."

"It's so bad that we can't eat food now, and even the old men are killed, what a ruthless person."

"The court is not benevolent!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoyue and Cao Jingchun almost turned purple with anger.

They can't wait to go up now and tear up this Xu Gui's black and white mouth.

But Zhao Hai gave a few of them a look and signaled them not to act rashly.

Then, Zhao Hai looked at the other party calmly and said, "You just said that the old man wants to be rent-free."

"Why don't you say, old man, monopolize food, hoard it in the granary, and don't lower the price of people who starve to death?"

"When people starve to death in a disaster year, the rats in the granary of the old men are bigger than the cats, and they don't drop the price when they stink and spoil."

"That's what the old men do!"
