Chapter 940: Swearing
"The tenants can't afford to eat, so you can just take less rent."
"If you have the heart, it won't hurt to give it to one percent at all."
"I remember, what are the masters of the Fang family and the Liang family, although the people died, the land was not returned to the imperial court."
"Now these lands are still nominally theirs."
Many tenants reacted, as long as the land is still there, they will not worry about bankruptcy and loss, if there is land, there will be people to plant, and if someone plants it, they can collect rent, how can they not get money?
"yes!"
"It's just one percent, Master Xu, you see that we are pitiful, just give one percent."
When Xu Gui heard this, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
Where did this gang come from? Why do you want to disrupt your own plans?
He thought about it for a moment, and immediately shouted loudly, "Don't listen to this person's nonsense, these people are all from other villages, and they may have some bad water in their stomachs."
"It's me who collects the rent, not him."
"The imperial court is going to fight now, and hundreds of thousands of people will eat how much food a day? How can you still give us food?"
"Everyone must believe me, believe in the masters, only we can take everyone to eat well."
Many cabinet ministers all had cold faces, looking at Xu Gui's face full of murderous aura.
This guy is talking a little too much.
"You're farting!" Zhao Hai pointed at Xu Gui and scolded.
"What the imperial court confiscated was only the property of the Liang family of that Fang family, where did it affect the rent?"
"It's clear that you don't want to give the two percent, and you have to charge the court with it."
When the tenants heard this, their eyes flickered, and for a moment they did not know who to listen to.
Seeing this, Xu Gui hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead, and his face was full of panic and anger.
If you are dismantled like this, if you can't complete the task, you will have to make a big deal.
He stared at Zhao Hai fiercely, full of warning, and then said, "Hmph!"
"Is it so easy for the imperial court to kill the lords of the big family of the gate lords? A few respectable old men in your family have died unjustly, and you are still in the mood to reward others?"
"Fathers, the elders are disheartened, and now they are in grief, and it is normal not to give food, and it is not to blame them."
"If you want to blame it, you can blame the court for not being able to see the big men now, and if you want to cut them, there is no way but to blame the court for its tyranny that does not pay attention to human ethics!"
Hearing this, the tenants only felt that their interests had been violated, and their hearts were furious.
They didn't dare to say it, but their hostility towards the court had already been aroused.
Zhao Hai sneered even more when he saw this, this dead fat man is really not afraid of death, in front of himself, one tyranny after another!
Who gave his dog the guts to dare to say that?
At this moment, Xu Gui angrily pointed his finger at Zhao Hai, full of snarky tone, and said, "Hmph, this person, is it the trust you found?"
"Deliberately ran to dismantle the stage."
"Hmph, since you have done such a thing, I think you don't want the eight percent rent free."
As he spoke, he angrily brushed his sleeves away, as if offended.
Seeing this, the tenants were also immediately anxious and hurried up to dissuade them.
"Sir! Master Xu, what are you doing?"
"Master Zhuang, misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding, we don't know who this person is!"
"Yes! The 8% rent exemption is enough for our family to eat for a long time, don't be angry, we accept it, just accept it."
Xu Gui immediately looked at everyone coldly and said, "Hmph, I'm afraid it's not good."
"With these people making trouble in this place, our meeting should not be able to go on."
"Let these men go at once."
"Otherwise, let's not talk about it, let alone what kind of rent-free it is, and it may not be possible to add a few percent to you when the time comes."
These few words obviously carry the meaning of intimidation and threat.
When Cao Jingchun and the others heard this, they were all furious, "I'm angry too!"
"Lawlessness, arrogance! How dare you incite trouble in the hearts of the people like this?"
But at this time, Zhao Hai opened his hands and stopped everyone.
Then he showed a flat smile, which was not happy or indifferent, but contemptuous.
Xu Gui's face changed drastically, and he only felt that he was being targeted by a terrifying beast.
Could this person be a big official in the court?
"Let's go."
Hearing this, many ministers were shocked, and they didn't understand why Zhao Hai suddenly decided to leave.
They are also going to wait and clean up this Xu Gui.
"My lord, but this ...... He can't be allowed to do this, and if this continues, the tenants will be incited."
"Yes! His Majesty...... My lord, we cannot sit idly by."
Zhao Hai glared at them, "Don't you see that the tenants are going to be angry?"
"Stay any longer, I don't think it's him who will be cleaned up, but you."
"Let's go." Zhao Hai waved his hand and stepped out in a few steps.
Many cabinet ministers looked at the expressions of the surrounding tenants, and when they saw that this was the case, they immediately followed Zhao Hai and left.
At this time, the ministers came out with Zhao Hai, and then scolded angrily.
"Your Majesty, shall we just let him go?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you don't break the bones of this dog thief, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
Zhao Hai said faintly as he walked outside, "Who said that I was going to let him go?"
"Let's go outside and wait for him first."
"He's just an agent, he's also taking money to do things, not really the mastermind."
"Since they came to discredit me, and then put some favors in an attempt to win the hearts of the people, then I will directly clean up the people at the source."
When the words fell, the ministers of the cabinet all nodded one after another.
"Your Majesty is right, the water is polluted, and it is still necessary to deal with it at the root."
"Moreover, these family gate valves have begun to gather the hearts of the people, I am afraid that there will be a big move in the next step, and we have to guard against it."
"If it's for self-preservation, it's forgivable, if it's for something else." Many ministers glanced at each other, and they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
The group pretended to leave, but after going out, they came back in a circle, hiding in a nearby wood.
As the sun came to the middle of the day, noon came, and it was almost time to eat.
Finally, after this time, Xu Gui finished the meeting and walked out of the ancestral hall with a beaming face.
He was surrounded by a large number of tenants, and was respectfully sent into the carriage like a great man.
Although he was amiable on the surface, in fact, the contempt between his eyebrows and eyes had not diminished at all.
