Chapter 104: For example, I envy you
What else?
Everyone secretly thought in their hearts: It's not to stop your new deal.
Prevent you from transferring the interests of our powerful families to those poor people?
But there are some things that can be thought of in this way and cannot be said directly.
Coupled with the long sickle in Zhang Junlin's hand, it was really scary.
Especially the hard work above, although it has been done, I don't know whose it is.
Everyone can't help but think about the worst in their hearts, what if it's Xia Guozhang's?
Then if they talk nonsense at this time, I am afraid that their lives will be in danger.
"Didn't anyone speak?"
Zhang Junlin glanced at everyone's expressions and guessed their inner thoughts.
But he didn't say anything, but continued to ask himself.
"I'm afraid you don't know what's going on in Yang County lately, right?"
Recently, it has rained heavily and the roads are muddy.
In addition, everyone avoided His Royal Highness the Prince, and they didn't even bother to do business to Yang County.
so as not to be caught by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Naturally, I don't know what happened in Yang County.
In addition, Xia Guozhang reminded them before.
Don't provoke His Royal Highness the Crown Prince openly.
So they weren't very interested in what happened in Yang County.
It's too late for the snow in front of your own door, where can you care about the frost on other people's tiles?
It's just that they can't help but gloat and bow to tears of sympathy for those powerful squires in Yang County.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't gone to Yang County to implement the new policy, they wouldn't have been so easy at this moment.
I am afraid that I have already succumbed to the obscenity of His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven.
"This palace knows that you don't support the policy of clearing and dividing land that this palace wants to implement because you feel that it is unprofitable."
Zhang Junlin is right.
But when this point is explained in public, some people will inevitably be unable to hold their faces.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong, and we also want to make some contributions to South Vietnam."
"That's why we donated food, and now we have donated gold and silver to supply your soldiers to suppress bandits, and it can't be said that we are only profitable."
"But there are some things that really touch our roots, and we can't back down."
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
We know this very well.
Zhang Junlin didn't plan to preach to them.
Instead, he continued to tell the story of what happened in Qiyang County.
"Do you know what the people are doing in Yang County at this time?"
What else can you do?
The answer to this question is not at all curious.
Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already suppressed the bandits and returned to Zhenzhou City.
Then presumably Yang County has been clear at this time.
The implementation of the New Deal went smoothly.
It's just that the powerful squires of Yang County have suffered, and when they encounter the thunderous means of His Royal Highness the Prince, they have no power to fight back.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, we are not interested in what happened in Yang County, we have now proved our innocence, can we go back to our respective homes?"
"Yes."
Zhang Junlin didn't even mean to stop them, and smiled at everyone.
Then it was announced loudly as if no one was around.
"The people of Yang County are now clearing the wasteland and dividing the land."
Speaking of this, Zhang Junlin deliberately paused.
In the face of His Royal Highness the Prince's statement, the powerful families in Zhenzhou did not have any waves in their hearts.
There was an expression of "sure enough" on their faces, and they didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was pulling them to talk so much.
Just as they turned and walked back.
"Do you know what those powerful squires in Yang County are doing now?"
Then.
Zhang Junlin suddenly asked again.
Everyone couldn't help but pause.
What else can be done?
Of course, they are anxious now, just like themselves, thinking about how to deal with this difficult Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Just as they raised their steps, they thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would give the same answer as they had just expected to answer the question.
Then take the opportunity to ridicule and threaten them.
But I heard Zhang Junlin speak slowly.
"At this time, the magnates and squires of Yang County are using the farmland in exchange for agriculture and forestry to create new wealth, are you interested in listening to what this palace has to say?"
The crowd stopped.
They looked at each other in disbelief, suspecting that they had misheard.
But when they turned around, they looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a sly smile.
I always feel a trace of sincerity in the treacherous.
Yang County is only more than 100 miles away from Zhenzhou.
Suppose they send someone to Yang County to inquire at this time.
In less than a day, you will be able to know whether what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true or false.
And as noble as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and with the heavy responsibility of supervising the country, it is impossible to lie in public.
In other words, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said was true, and they were wrong!
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you mean by exchanging arable land for agriculture and forestry just now?"
"It's literally, use the cultivated land under your name, and then exchange it for the agricultural and forestry wilderness that no one has set foot in, in short, everyone will hoard land in a different way,"
Is exchanging arable land for agriculture and forestry still called hoarding?
Even if you exchange one acre for ten acres, what's the use of exchanging those fertile fields for those wastelands where birds don't?
What is the big territory, it must be able to produce food and get income to be really useful.
Otherwise, even if you have a barren land of thousands of miles, it will not grow food on it, and it will not be able to support people.
It's like the barren Northwest, the desert is barren, who will go there to cultivate crops and build a country?
It is estimated that it was forced by the force of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again.
It's the same reason they had to donate the gold and silver that blocked the road tonight.
Everyone has understood this kind of banditry behavior of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they are all used to it.
But they couldn't accept it.
If they have been accustomed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, then where will their powerful families accumulated over generations have a foothold in South Vietnam?
"This palace knows that you doubt this palace's statement, and it is because of this that Xia Guozhu has been given the opportunity to get down to business."
Zhang Junlin pointed to the corpse of Xia Guozhang who had fallen to the ground, and his voice was low, but the words were so clear that everyone could hear them.
"Xia Guozhu knew why those powerful squires in Yang County rushed to exchange arable land for agriculture and forestry, so he deliberately incited you to oppose the new policy, but secretly he raised money and grain to buy land, thinking of making a deal with the palace."
"He just wants to fish in troubled waters, if you don't believe it, you can ask these slaves of the Xia family, is it that their master has sold all the grain in the past few days, and then exchanged for a large amount of gold and silver and piled it up at home?"
"Then you look at the servants of the Xia family of more than three or five hundred people, they suddenly all gathered in Zhenzhou, do you think they are here to help you fight against this palace, no, no, no, he ordered these people to do big things, is what this palace said right?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the servants of the Xia family.
The servants of the Xia family didn't expect that they had already abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and they actually had to testify on the spot.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, even if what you say is true, I'm afraid everyone won't believe us."
Someone reluctantly reminded him.
Oh!
That's right, too.
Zhang Junlin raised the long sickle in his hand again.
knocked down the necks of the two fainting Xia family messengers.
Bang bang.
The two of them woke up slowly, their eyes already a little misty from several impacts.
Then.
They heard someone behind them ask.
"Did Xia Guozhang exchange all the remaining grain for gold and silver recently, and then specially bought a lot of new slaves?"
