051 - One more thing is unknown
"Your Excellency."
Before entering the study, Zhao Yuan, Su Xiong and the others immediately gave a big salute and respectfully paid homage to Yao Yu.
Compared with the high and high at the beginning, the face of the first two days was evil, and Zhao Yuan and the others at this time were as well-behaved as a cat.
Thanks to Yao Yu, he couldn't bear it, otherwise he would have laughed out loud just now.
"Oh, it turned out to be the heads of the family, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome."
Several family heads smiled awkwardly: "My lord has a lot of opportunities, don't dare, don't dare."
"Okay, don't talk about it. Come early this morning, what's the matter?"
Zhao Yuan, Su Xiong and the others looked at each other, and then Zhao Yuan took a step forward, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's such a person, we heard that your lordship attacked the mountain and captured the bandit leader Quan Yan Quan Yao Brother alive, so we are here to congratulate you."
Yao Yu glanced at Zhao Yuan Suxiong and was happy: "Oh, is it really sincere to congratulate, not a last resort?"
Yao Yu had something to say, and several people were frightened when they heard this, and knelt down with a poof: "Adults, the villains are really good every day. The mountain bandits have been entrenched for eight years. Over the years, the major families in the city have suffered unspeakably. Now that the Lord has removed evil for us, how dare we repay virtue with resentment?"
Yao Yu picked up a delicately shaped dagger from the desk next to him to pick his nails, and did not speak, but shook his legs gracefully.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Yuan, Su Xiong and the others looked at each other, not knowing what Yao Yu meant.
No, Yao Yu didn't speak, and they didn't dare to say anything. Yao Yu was annoyed when he saw it, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you here to atone for your sins, since that's the case, what are you waiting for?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment and didn't understand, but Zhao Yuan was the first to react, oh oh screamed and looked forward, with a smile on his face: "The little ones have known for a long time that the adults are working hard, so they have prepared some light gifts, hoping that the adults can laugh and accept it."
Yao Yu glanced at Zhao Yuan, who took out a bamboo wat from his sleeve and handed it over, which was full of words.
Yao Bao took the bamboo wat from Zhao Yuan's hand, turned around and respectfully gave it to Yao Yu.
At a glance, there were many lists of items written on the bamboo wat and silver coins and fields.
"10,000 stone of grain, 100,000 silver coins, horses, 1,000 catties of iron, 800 acres of fertile land."
Yao Yu chattered while watching, looking at it and laughing.
Zhao Yuan nodded and bowed continuously: "Look, my lord..."
"Brother Zhao, I didn't see it, your family is quite thick. In this world, you can still come up with such good things."
Yao Yu said, looking at Zhao Yuan with a strange gaze.
The latter snorted, and his face was ugly.
"Then, what kind of adult, isn't it too tired to think that the brothers are too tired to suppress the bandits, and the people of the lower county should treat the brothers as a matter of course."
Yao Yu put the bamboo wat down.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Yuan didn't know what Yao Yu was thinking, whether he was happy or unhappy, he disliked it too much or too little.
No, he turned around and glanced at Su Xiong and the others.
That means you don't have to be stunned, hurry up.
With Zhao Yuan's hint, Su Xiong and the others were not far behind, and they stepped forward one after another, taking out their list of gifts from their sleeves.
Basically, the gifts sent by these people were equivalent to Zhao Yuan.
It is also on the gift of fertile land, which is slightly different.
If the family is thick, 800 acres will be sent, and if the family is thin, it will be left and right.
More than 20 family owners, after a short period of effort, came out of thin air with more than 200,000 stone grain, more than 2 million silver coins, more than 10,000 horses of silk cloth, more than 20,000 catties of pig iron, and more than 10,000 acres of fertile land.
Even if you forget the previous ones, what shocked Yao Yu the most was 20,000 catties of pig iron and more than 10,000 acres of fertile land.
You must know that 20,000 catties of pig iron are enough to make more than 1,000 sets of armor, which is armed, that is more than 1,000 elite main forces.
It can be said that relying on these 1,000 sets of armor, it is completely possible to pull out a team of 10,000 people with an armor rate of one-tenth of them.
How many warlords in ancient times, how many were just starting out, and they couldn't even get together a thousand sets of armor.
In addition to pig iron, there are also 10,000 acres of fertile land. According to the law, each household can have 100 acres of land, of which there is only one good land if it dies, and the rest is almost all made up.
Roughly calculated, these 10,000 acres of fertile land, to say the least, must be the foundation of the survival of 2,000 households.
These families are lacking in great virtue.
To say that they are vampires is not to wronged them.
Thinking of this, Yao Yu's expression first became cold, in his opinion, Zhao Yuan, Su Xiong and the others in front of him should be damned.
Even, as long as he gave an order, Yao Bao would be able to kill these family heads in an instant.
But the thought came to his mind, and Yao Yu held back again.
It's quite relieving to kill these family heads now, but the question is what to do with the rest of the matter...
When the lords of each family died, what would happen to the tenants and slaves under their names, and it would be difficult to settle for a while.
Not to mention, killing so many heads of the family at once, without conclusive evidence, can easily lead to the collapse of law and order in the county.
Thinking of this, Yao Yu took a deep breath, he could deal with these family masters at any time. Anyway, they are now shocked by themselves, as long as they keep an eye on them and don't make trouble, in the future, they will slowly have a chance to clean them up.
Thinking like this, Yao Yu smiled: "You are too polite, I will take the mountain, and it is also for the sake of the people. Then what a leopard, go, inform the dining room to set up a banquet, and today I will not return home with the heads of the family if I am not drunk."
Yao Yu was enthusiastic, but these family heads didn't dare to think so.
They waved their hands like the wind: "No, no, no, my lord's day, how dare we bother, next time, next time."
Yao Yu opened his mouth: "These things on the list..."
Zhao Yuan and the others arched their hands and said, "When I go back, I will send someone to send it immediately."
Yao Yu snapped his fingers: "Then let everyone break the bank."
Speaking of this, Yao Yule laughed.
No, he arranged for Yao Bao to send everyone away, while he stayed in the study, looking around, and couldn't put down the gifts sent by the major families.
"Brother."
Yao Bao, who had returned from seeing off the guests, pushed the door in.
Yao Yu responded, "Are they all gone?"
"Yes, brother." After agreeing, Yao Bao's face showed some hesitation.
After a few seconds of silence, Yao Bao spoke, "Brother, there's something that my younger brother can't understand."
Yao Yu put down the bamboo wat list: "You want to ask me why I don't clean up these family masters, right?"
Yao Bao nodded.
Yao Yu sighed and said, "It's not time to clean them up yet. First of all, we still have too little power of our own in the city. Before we took over the inheritance left by Sun Anping, we only had more than a dozen officials, and we couldn't suppress the situation rashly. After all, they have more than 20 families, and the dog will jump off the wall when he is in a hurry."
