The people of the entire Youzhou City know that the current head of the Zhang family, the pretty widow He Jinse, climbed into the bed of Youwang early in the morning and became Youwang's woman.

The patriarchs of other families also wanted He Jinse to be the first bird in view of this, in case the Youwang was angry, the anger that would come down would be lighter.

Who knew that He Jinse actually supported Youwang and let this decree that was detrimental to the interests of the Zhang family be issued.

A patriarch smiled coldly: "Mrs. He is really prescient, I am afraid that you will know about this matter early, and use means on King You, let him give you another compensation for the Zhang family." ”

The other patriarchs laughed contemptuously, and everyone knew what He Jinse's means were, which was nothing more than using women to please the king of You.

He Jinse's face was flushed with anger, but he couldn't refute it, because it was true.

A patriarch laughed and said: "It can make King You happy, it can be seen that Mrs. He's ability is very good." ”

The other patriarchs burst into laughter, and He Jinse's eyes darkened with anger and he almost fainted.

At this time, a pair of big hands gently grabbed He Jinse's arm and pulled her behind her.

"He Jinse can support the dilapidated Zhang family as a woman, and her ability naturally doesn't need you to say much, can you agree with my words?"

The patriarchs were stunned for a moment, then they all got up and looked at the man who stood up to speak in horror.

I saw that he took off the hood on his head, revealing a resolute and resolute face, it was none other than the lord of Youzhou, Li Feng, the king of Youzhou.

He Jinse informed Li Feng of the private meeting of the patriarchs as soon as possible, and Li Feng planned to do so, disguised himself as He Jinse's entourage, followed her to the meeting place, and hid behind.

Li Feng originally just wanted to come over in person to see what the patriarchs of all clans thought, but he didn't expect that as soon as they came up, they launched an attack on He Jinse, so Li Feng didn't care what the purpose of coming, he directly stood up to defend He Jinse.

The patriarchs of all clans looked at Li Feng who suddenly appeared, and they were frightened and didn't know what to do, and there were also the bold patriarchs, looking at Li Feng who was alone, with murderous intent in their eyes.

Right now seems to be the best chance to take out the Ghost King.

But before these suspicious people could make a move, Li Feng smiled at them.

The smile eased tensions between the two sides.

"I've seen the Ghost King."

The others clasped their fists and bowed.

Li Feng said: "Today is not a business matter, a private gathering, there is no need to pay so much etiquette. ”

After Li Feng finished speaking, the hearts of the patriarchs of all clans were settled, and when King You said this, it meant that he didn't care about their private gatherings, and there was still something to talk about.

Some patriarchs thought that Li Feng was soft on them, and he was also worried that without the support of their gentry families, he would not be able to gain a foothold in Youzhou, after all, they were still needed for management.

"Sit down, don't be restrained."

After Li Feng sat down, He Jinse stood up and moved behind him to sit down, while the extremely patriarch who was originally closer to He Jinse moved to the side and sat down.

"I originally wanted to gather everyone tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, and ask you about the decree on the apportionment of the acre, but I didn't expect you to think of going with me.

Since everyone is here, they can speak freely, and they can boldly put forward any opinions on my decree of spreading the land into acres. ”

The crowd looked at each other and finally asked another woman present to speak.

The woman who came out is called Du Rong, the daughter of the Du family who sells cloth in Youzhou, although she is not the nominal helmsman, but Lao Du's energy has declined in old age, and Du Rong's cloth industry in these years is actually Du Rong in charge, so she is also the one who came to the meeting.

Other people knew that Youwang was lustful, and they wanted to let Du Rong, who was a woman, come out, how could Youwang give some face.

But Li Feng didn't give them any face at all.

"For such a big thing, you pushed a woman out to speak? Do you still want a face? ”

The patriarchs were speechless, Du Rong glanced at Li Feng with a complicated expression, and sat back silently.

In the end, it was a respected old patriarch who stood up: "Lord Wang, if you implement the decree of apportioning the land into the mu, my family will not be able to survive." ”

"Your surname? What kind of business do you have at home? ”

"The little old man is free from your surname Jiao, and opened a small restaurant to chat about the day."

He Jinse whispered a few words behind Li Feng, and Li Feng sneered: "This old man surnamed Jiao in front of everyone, the largest restaurant in Youzhou is opened by your family. ”

"If this is a day of talking, wouldn't the king be the leader of the beggar gang?"

"Little old man doesn't dare."

Li Feng snorted coldly: "I think you dare very much, you have nearly 1,000 acres of fertile land at home, and you have three concubines." Some time ago, there was a big drought in Youzhou, and you took the opportunity to buy a lot of land, and there were many women. ”

Old man Jiao's legs were weak, and he was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground: "Lord Wang, it was all bought by the little old man, but it was not forced to buy and sell." ”

"Did I just say that you bought and sold by force?"

"Nope."

"Then what are you excited about, stand up and sit aside."

Li Feng looked around: "All of you here, taking advantage of the drought some time ago, you all took the opportunity to buy a lot of land." ”

No one dared to look at Li Feng's gaze, and they all lowered their heads.

Li Feng suddenly smiled and said: "What are you nervous about, as long as you are not forced to buy and sell, and give people a reasonable price when buying land, I will support it, under my protection." ”

But then, Li Feng changed his words: "However, if I find out that there is a situation of forced buying and selling, deliberately lowering the price, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

All the patriarchs were scared enough, in the year of the catastrophe, human life is not as good as dogs, not to mention deliberately lowering the price, even if they don't give money, they also sell food, if they are calculated like this, they are all guilty.

Fortunately, Li Feng knew some inside information, so he didn't dwell on this topic, and then asked about the income of each family with a smile.

The patriarchs didn't understand what Li Feng meant, and they didn't expect Li Feng to come over suddenly, but they all knew that the less they said, the better.

So the patriarchs answered a variety of answers, with different standards.

Li Feng didn't believe it, and finally asked He Jinse.

When everyone saw Li Feng asking He Jinse, they were dumbfounded, they could tell lies to Li Feng, but He Jinse wouldn't, it felt very bad to be slapped in a panic as soon as he finished speaking.

He Jinse replied truthfully, the land in Youzhou is average, and even the output of fertile land is not as much as that in the south, and the average output of one mu of land is about 250 catties of grain.

These two hundred and fifty catties have a part of the tenants, a part of the taxes, and finally there is about a hundred catties left in the hands of the landlord.

The annual income of one acre of land is less than one tael.

Since the way of employing farmers is not uniform, the situation of each family is not quite the same, so it can only be calculated in general.

Although the yield of one acre of land is small, grain is a hard currency, so even those who have business in the city have a large amount of land.

And the income reported by the heads of each family just now was very low, but Li Feng didn't care about them.

"Seeing that you are living so poorly, this king is very unhappy in his heart, and plans to take you to earn some money."
