Chapter 296: The Fox Game
"Naturally, it's good, the lower officials are all moved by you." Tian Fu Yin replied with incomparable sincerity.
"Very good, then pass on what happened just now to the market word for word, remember especially the classic words of this king and the faces of the twelve masters who are unwilling to dedicate themselves, you must let the people know, and it is the kind of thing that is very detailed."
"......" Tian Fu Yin.
Now, he can understand what King Zhen is up to.
Dare to be affectionate, it is false to ask for land, and it is true to lower the image of the Twelfth Family in the minds of the people.
Thinking about it carefully, I was very scared, what did King Zhen want to do.
However, he didn't dare to think about it again, so he only invited the master to start thinking about how to carry forward what he had just heard.
Soon after, a rumor appeared in Shanhu Prefecture, which swept through the main city of Shanhu Prefecture at a lightning speed.
The kind-hearted King Qi asked for the people's life with a shy face, wanting the twelve heads of the family to give the absentees who had lost their livelihood a place to live, but the twelve heads of the family not only did not appreciate it, but even had a solid heart to die, and would rather die by hitting the wall than give up their benefits to the common people.
Thousands of people in Shanhu Prefecture were filled with righteous indignation when they heard this, and the reputation of the twelve family heads plummeted overnight.
At this time, the twelve family masters were all angry to death, and they couldn't wait to eat Xiao Jiuxi alive.
"This little rabbit cub has no gentlemanly style at all, and all kinds of yin tricks are used, what is his purpose! Whether those miners have any work or not, no one has come to the yamen to complain, and he is nosy with rats."
"In my opinion, this guy is not for those miners at all, he just wants to defeat us, so he uses this kind of means to harm others and not himself."
"What are we going to do to just let this kid be bullied?"
Everyone said and looked at the Lord, hoping that the Lord could give a solution once and for all to completely solve this headache.
After a while, he sighed and said, "This guy's path is really very common to everyone, and I am afraid that if we resist a little, we will be doubled back."
"Then what should I do, I can't just be ridden by him, right?"
"I'm afraid that if he is allowed to make trouble, the Twelfth Family will really be finished."
When I think of this, I just feel that the future is dark.
"This is not as good as the original mountain king, but the mountain king is still polite, righteous and shameful, and he can still be restrained with secular morality, but this king is really at a loss for people to start."
"I can't say that, maybe we still have a chance." The face of the Lord was dark, faintly glowing with cold light.
Three days later, Xiao Jiuxi sent an invitation again, this time no longer low-key, but beat gongs and drums to invite the twelve masters, and the common people who had already received the wind gathered in front of the yamen, ready to be a front-line melon eater.
This time, five of the twelve heads of the family did not show up, it is estimated that the wound on the brain has not yet healed, in order to avoid the rumors on the streets that he hit the wall in order to refuse to take out the land, so let his son be the representative.
But this move has made the common people talk about it.
"If the five masters really didn't appear, it seems that the collision is real."
"If people don't know what to do unless they do it, now it's like this, but it's true, hey, the Twelfth Family is not enough."
"You can't say that, but if it's you, would you like to let you take the field in your hand and help outsiders? The Twelfth Family is just a normal person who will react, I can't say how they are, I can only say that they are not as ambitious as the world calls them."
"That's the reason, I used to think that the Twelve Families were superior, but now I look at it like a foreign master, they are just laymen who focus on the power of the money in their hands."
I have to say that the people of Shanhu Prefecture are still much more sober, except for a few who will abuse the Twelfth Family, most of them are just sneering.
Xiao Jiuxi didn't care, anyway, he didn't expect to rely on this one thing alone to completely subvert the people's perception of the Twelfth Family, after all, this is hundreds of thousands of years
The old family, if it is really so easy to bring it down, the Three Emperor Brothers will not suffer.
Xiao Jiuxi sorted out his thoughts and looked at everyone with a smile: "I don't know how the family masters have thought about it?"
"Back to the prince, after these days of careful consideration, we have decided to adopt the prince's opinion and cede one or two of the original land for the living needs of these miners.
But in the end, we can't give up the land left by our ancestors, so we can only provide it to the miners for cultivation without rent, and as for the grain tax, they will pay it themselves, and we will not collect a penny until the mine resumes mining, and then we will take back the land."
The family is an old fox after all, and it didn't take a few days to think of such a method.
And this method is indeed sincere enough, Rao is Xiao Jiuxi has nothing to say, and the onlookers are greatly stimulated, this is simply another village!
I never thought that the twelve family heads would really be willing to give the field!
They naturally don't think about giving away the fields for free, and they are already very satisfied if they can give some porridge to do odd jobs, who knows that the twelve masters are willing to give the fields for them to cultivate without rent, how can this be imagined? .net
"Is this true? Oh my God, did I hear me wrong?"
"The Twelfth Family is really still ambitious, and it was my villain's heart before."
"That's right, the Twelfth Family really doesn't have to say it, those miners are really blessed, not to mention how much they can earn in the past three years, at least they don't have to worry about their livelihood."
For a while, everyone's wind direction changed, and they were all saving the dignity of the Twelfth Family.
Xiao Jiuxi nodded with emotion: "Sure enough, the twelve family masters are still sensible, so the king will thank you for the 100,000 miners."
The twelve family masters didn't expect Xiao Jiuxi to readily agree, they thought that he would be more embarrassed and sarcastic, and they were all ready to throw them in his face with a belly of high wind and bright words, but it turned out to be useless.
Everyone felt a little embarrassed.
Xiao Jiuxi said, "Based on the busy business of the family owners, you only need to hand over the fields to Tianfu Yin, and he will solve your worries and problems."
"There is labor, there is labor." Tian Fu Yin embarrassedly bowed to the twelve family masters.
"Yes." The twelve masters replied with a smile.
The matter proved that the free lease of the land was basically a foregone conclusion, and the onlookers couldn't help but applaud.
Xiao Jiuxi took advantage of the situation to walk into the crowd and said, "You have all heard, the Twelfth Family is willing to take out the fertile land so that the miners can survive the three years of difficulties, and please go back to tell each other quickly, so that the miners who have not yet found a job can register with the yamen and cultivate the territory!"
