At this time, a few old farmers on the side also had courage and said cautiously: "His Royal Highness the King of the County, Xiaomin and others don't want money for their fields!"

"Huh?"

In the entire main hall, everyone was stunned.

The gentry's face changed slightly, and they glared at the old peasants.

"Don't want money, do you want a shop too? It's just wishful thinking, do you know how much a shop costs? Even if you sell all the fertile land in your house, you won't be able to buy one!"

"Even if you can scrape together enough money to buy a shop, you don't have the money to repair it, buy and sell goods......

"That's it, why are you so reckless, and quickly apologize to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the County King!"

「……」

Several old peasants, hearing this, also changed their faces greatly, trembled, and knelt down directly towards Zhu Gaochi and Guo An.

Guo An said directly: "Don't apologize first, let's talk about what you want?"

"Temple...... Your Highness......

An old farmer stumbled and whispered: "Grass people, grass people have three sons in their family, but the whole family only has fifteen acres of land, as they grow up, they have to go to shoes and clothes, and those fifteen acres of fields can't be raised, and the grass people want it, they want Your Highness......

Guo An directly said for the old farmer, "Find a way out for them?"

"Yes, yes!"

The old peasant's face was happy, and he nodded again and again, "Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An asked, "Can anyone from your family be literate?"

The old farmer's face was bitter and he shook his head slowly.

"Your Highness, forgive me, those boys in my family are illiterate!"

In these days, as long as they are literate, in any village, they are all big people, and only those village chiefs, A chiefs, and lieutenant chiefs are literate.

Moreover, as long as you are literate, you can find a good job anywhere.

Guo An nodded with some understanding, "It doesn't matter."

"But if they can't read, they'll have to do some hard work!"

"Yes, yes!"

The old farmer suddenly nodded with excitement on his face, "Your Highness, as long as you don't starve to death, it's fine!"

"That's fine!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Paving the train and railway, it should be recruiting forced labor, and you can wait for the boys to go."

Or, when the railway station is built, it will also recruit forced laborers;

Or, the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce will occupy a few shops at the train station, and you boys can come to those shops to be a junior!"

"This ......"

Hearing this, the old peasants suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Don't rush, think slowly!"

Guo An smiled faintly and continued: "However, if you want to settle a child in your family, you can't triple the price of the field, you can only give the original price!"

Otherwise, it will be unfair to other old farmers!"

"In addition, after settling your son, you need to take care of the train and railroad that will pass through your fields, and no thieves will be allowed to break or steal.

If one person is found, the King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will reward him heavily!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the County can rest assured, the villain can save ......."

A group of old farmers hurriedly responded.

Guo An looked at the gentry on the side again, "The same is true for you, passing through the train and railway in the field, you also need to be strictly guarded.

No one can destroy the land on either side of the railway, let alone the railway.

If you report a successful case, you will be rewarded tenfold!"

"And if it is a deliberate saboteur, this king and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely send a large army to search from house to house, and will not let go of a single grass or tree, and will definitely find out the thief, implicate his family, and even his people......

Hearing this, all the officials and gentry, as well as all the old peasants, all changed their faces slightly, and they reassured again and again.

"Please also rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the County will definitely take care of the railway and will not let it

Any thief destroys!"

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "For you, this king is still relieved.

After all, the construction of the railway will bring great benefits to Lishui County.

Especially at the railway station, most of the merchants and goods returning from overseas will pass through Lishui County.

Businessmen who are ready to go to sea will also pass by Lishui County.

Suddenly, the shops waiting at the railway station will inevitably make money every day.

And if the train is damaged and cannot be opened, the railway station will be abandoned, and the shops that you have bought at great expense will only lose money every day......

Hearing this, the gentry's faces couldn't help but change slightly.

Immediately, his face was full of color.

"Exactly, what Your Highness said is very true, if there is a thief who dares to covet the railway, we will definitely fight with him endlessly!"

"When the railway is built, we will inevitably send people to watch over the railway day and night......

"Alright, alright!"

Guo An waved his hand slowly, "Let's talk about these things when the railway and railway station are built."

"Now, let's talk about the location of the train station!" "Your Highness, please speak!"

The magistrate of Lishui County hurriedly looked at Guo An.

The train station is what he is looking forward to the most.

As long as the train station is completed, it will be his greatest achievement of the year.

Not only this year, but even next year, or even the year after next, when Jingcha arrives, he can be rated first!

Year-end bonuses, promotions, and he are inevitably indispensable!

"This king and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have discussed that the railway station in Lishui County covers an area of 400 acres.

The location of the train station is either in the northwest or southeast of the city.

Is there a suitable site for Yuzhi County?"

"His Royal Highness the King of the Returning Counties, there are such wide places in the northwest and southeast of the city!"

Yu Shijiang, the magistrate of Lishui County, hurriedly said.

And the gentry were full of urgency.

Several of them are families located in the northwest and southeast of Lishui County.

If the train station can be built on their family's side, the benefits will ......

Thinking about it, several gentry suddenly hurriedly spoke.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County, the villain and others still have some fields in the northwest of the city, and they can let the railway station be built for free!"

"Your Highness, the fields of the villain and others in the southeast of the city add up to thousands of acres, and there is no charge, Your Highness can build as big as he wants!"

"Your Highness, villain......

"Alright, alright!"

Guo An waved his hand helplessly, "The matter of site selection, this king and His Royal Highness the crown prince have also discussed, there is a rouge river flowing through the northwest of the city, and it is flat and wide, if you can build a railway station in the northwest of the city, it should be the first choice!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Several gentry in the northwest of the city were suddenly overjoyed.

And the gentry in the southeast of the city were just full of disappointment, but since Guo An had already decided, they didn't dare to say anything more.

Don't look at the kindness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Shunde County, but none of them are good people, and they are ruthless.

Guo An looked at Yu Shijiang, the magistrate, "Yu Zhixian, can you take His Royal Highness the King and the Crown Prince and go to the northwest of the city to have a look?"

"The lower officials are happy!"

Yu Shijiang hurriedly said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the County King, please!"

Subsequently, Yu Shijiang hurriedly took a group of officials and gentry, led Zhu Gaochi, Guo An and others, and came to the northwest of the city.

In fact, Guo An, Zhu Gaochi and others passed through here when they came to Lishui County.

Looking at it again, Zhu Gaochi and Guo An are more clear in their hearts.

"So, this is it!"

Guo An glanced at Zhu Gaochi and saw that Zhu Gaochi had no objection, so he said directly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Yu Shijiang, the magistrate of Lishui County, and a group of officials and gentry suddenly had a full face

Exultation.

And Guo An, who has already led people, ran around this field, which can be regarded as a circle of 400 acres of land.

"I also bother Yu Zhixian to invite all the gentry and common people involved in these four hundred acres of fields!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Yu Shijiang hurriedly commanded a few times to the household clerk beside him.

Actually, it says 400 acres of land.

However, most of it is wasteland, or woodland, and there are not many acres of land.

Guo An and Zhu Gaochi didn't wait long, and a few people, under the leadership of those scribes, came over.

tremblingly saluted Zhu Gaochi, Guo An and others.

It must have been that before coming, the scrivener of the house had already introduced it to the people.

Zhu Gaochi and Guo An looked at the people with a warm face and told them about occupying their fields.

Those few people didn't think about it, they nodded directly again and again, and even a little impatient.

Guo An didn't ask much, so he once again talked about the benefits of occupying the people's fields.

Then he asked again, "Among these acres, can you wait for all the acres?"

Several peasant households glanced at each other, and couldn't help but look at the scribe who had brought them to the side.

Seeing this, Guo An sighed slightly, and said directly: "Don't be afraid, if you have something to say, as long as you don't deceive the king and His Royal Highness the crown prince, everything is easy to discuss."

「…… If you don't say that after the railway station is built on these fields, you and future generations will have no more fields to plant, then don't blame this king!"

At this time, Yu Shijiang, the magistrate of the county, also said loudly: "Don't be afraid, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Shunde County love the people like sons, as long as you tell the truth, you will definitely not blame you!"

Several old farmers looked at each other, and then they had the courage to bow to Zhu Gaochi and Guo An.

"Your Highness, the sixteen acres of land in the villain's house are all here!"

"Back to Your Highness, ten of the seventeen acres of land in the villain's house are occupied!"

"Your Highness, there are a total of ten acres of fertile land in the villain's house, all of which are here...... "That's good!"

Guo An nodded slightly reassuringly, "When all the fields are here, it's easy to do!"

After speaking, Guo An looked straight at the gentry behind him under the puzzled looks on the faces of the crowd.

"Since all your fields are here, can you exchange some fields nearby and give them to these farmers?"

"Exchange land for these farmers?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the gentry's eyes.

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Without the fields, they have no way to live.

However, it was necessary to build a railway station here.

Therefore, I can only ask you to exchange them for fields of the same size, and their acres will be given to you.

However, it is still effective to find a job for a child in their family, or to give them a subsidy of 100 yuan per acre of land.

As for you, you can buy another shop, and of course, the price of the shop is only 70% of the price of someone else's, and the price of the field is less!"

"Your Highness, this ......"

A gentleman's expression flickered, and he was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Guo An's expression turned cold, and he said directly: "If you have something to say, just say it, this king will not blame you."

If you don't have so much land at home, you can exchange it with them!"

They, of course, refer to the group of gentry outside the southeast of the city.

Hearing this, the group of gentry suddenly had a face full of joy.

"Your Highness, don't worry, we have a lot of fields in our house!"

"Yes, Your Highness......

At this time, all the gentry were also anxious, and they didn't dare to have any crooked thoughts, so they said again and again.

"Your Highness, there is no problem with the villain and the others!"

"Exactly, Your Highness, the villain and others still have some fields in their homes, exchange them for these fields, over."

It's all enough!"

Guo An continued: "The fields given to these farmers should be some good land, and they should be connected together, but they are not barren fields or barren fields!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, it must be a good field, and it is all connected together."

The gentry hurriedly said.

"Very good!"

Guo An nodded with satisfaction and looked at the farmers, "Do you agree to this?"

"Agreed, agreed!"

Not only can they find a job for one of their children, but they can also compensate them for all the good land elsewhere, and they are very satisfied.

It's just that they know the temperament of these gentry, and they only go in and out all day, can these gentry really compensate them for those good fields?

"Very good!"

Guo An also saw the worries of these old farmers, and said directly to everyone, "You go back and prepare, and sign the deed tomorrow."

I hope you don't have any intention of cheating, before coming, the king and His Royal Highness the crown prince also specially asked people to inquire about the yellow book and map.

In addition, after this matter, there will be another special investigation."

Hearing this, everyone was relieved in their hearts and promised again and again.

"Please also rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the County will never dare to have any thoughts!"

"Exactly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Counties......

"That's good!"

Guo An smiled gently, "In this way, we have a happy cooperation.

Early tomorrow morning, you can come to the county government to sign the deed."

"Of course, please keep in mind that this matter should not be disclosed to the public. Especially officials from other places, we wait."

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

A group of officials and gentry in Lishui County, as well as those people, responded one after another.

Afterwards, the gentry hurriedly asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the County have come from afar, and they have brought us such great benefits, and we cannot repay them.

I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the County King can give me a chance to wait for the banquet tonight for His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the County King, and have a good reception?"

"This ......"

Guo An looked at Zhu Gaochi on the side.

Zhu Gaochi bowed slightly, no matter what, they have to eat tonight.

Moreover, it is precisely through this incident that he can get close to these gentry.

After all, if you want to keep the train station running smoothly, you have to rely on these gentry.

Guo An smiled faintly and said in a harmonious voice, "In this way, then let you break the bank!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Royal Highness!"

Suddenly, the gentry were full of joy.

If they can entertain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Shunde County today, they will definitely be able to contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Shunde County through the train station in the future.

Why worry about their family's dissipation?
