159. Negotiations
The eighth prince continued to speak, "After I rescued the family of three, I asked them about the situation of the cottage, and he said that your cottage is rich in materials, the land is fertile, and the villagers are self-sufficient......
I think that you haven't gone out to rob for a long time now, and I believe that what he said is true, now the entire Qingshui Town can't grow food, and there is famine everywhere, so you can only rely on the imperial court for relief,
But your Qingshui Town is self-sufficient and rich, so I naturally became more determined to break into your cottage.
Since someone can fall from your cottage, then we can climb up from under the foothills, and that's what happened in your village. ”
Hearing the Eighth Prince's patient explanation, Gu Chenfeng and the villagers suddenly had mixed feelings in their hearts, they didn't expect that throwing the Liu family off the cliff would leave them with such a hidden danger!
"If I knew that I should have slaughtered their family directly!" Several of the leaders of the cottage gritted their teeth and muttered.
Seeing their resentful looks, the eighth prince couldn't help but be curious: "I don't think this family can make any waves, why do you hate them so much?" ”
"This family naturally can't make any waves in front of the Eighth Prince, but he is really making a mess in our village!"
On the top of several cottages, you talked about the Liu family's troubles in their village.
"The most important thing is that they actually want to throw our village's little lucky star Yuanyuan off that cliff, isn't this breaking the blessing of our village? Therefore, we can no longer bear it, and treat them in the same way as others, and let them taste the taste of being thrown off the cliff! ”
The ultimate reason for hearing that the villagers were so indignant was because the Liu family bullied a little girl in their village, which caused public anger and threw their family of three off the cliff.
The eighth prince stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Hearing you say this, the Liu family also deserves to be punished like that." ”
He said to a personal entourage beside him: "When you go back, remember to stop their medicine, this king will save their lives, and whether they can return to their original state is up to them." ”
Hearing the Eighth Prince's instructions to his entourage, the Gu family was silent.
I don't know what the Liu family's injuries have become, and their luck is really good, they can actually get the eighth prince to rescue them.
After the eighth prince gave instructions to his entourage, he turned around again and said curiously: "Who is that little lucky star you are talking about?" Can you bring it to me and have a look? ”
The little girl who can make the whole village maintain it like this, he is really curious.
The villagers all looked at Gu Chenfeng, not daring to point out that the little lucky star was his daughter.
Gu Chenfeng knew that he couldn't hide it, so he pulled Yuanyuan out from behind and said with a smile: "It's my daughter." ”
The eighth prince looked at Yuanyuan, saw that his little face was flushed, his big eyes blinked, and he smiled with a good smile: "Yes, yes, it looks like he is indeed a blessed one." ”
Gu Chengfeng and the Eighth Prince began negotiations.
Gu Chenfeng, on behalf of the entire villagers of the cottage, wanted to fight to stay in the cottage, but the eighth prince disagreed.
The meaning of the eighth prince is to let all the people in the village go down the mountain, return to their original hometown, hand over all the land in the cottage to the imperial court, let the people of the imperial court plant, increase the yield, and let the people of the entire Qingshui County get a little food.
As long as they are willing to give up their land and go down the mountain to their original hometown in Qingshui County, or if they want to re-establish a village, as long as they don't stay in the cottage, the eighth prince will allocate land to them, and let them restore their status as good citizens, as long as they don't commit the crime of robbery in the future, they are innocent people.
The conditions of the eighth prince made many villagers moved, and some people were originally in this cottage to escape, but after they arrived, they were classified as mountain bandits, and since then they have no identity as good citizens, and they live tremblingly, for fear that they will be caught by the people of the government one day.
Now they have the opportunity to become good citizens, which makes them happy, among them is the big boss, he has always wanted to restore the identity of a good citizen, and now he finally has the opportunity.
But at the cost of leaving the cottage, which made him very entangled, after all, now only the cottage can survive safely and securely, after going down the mountain, I am afraid that he will face the disaster of flash floods, which makes him very worried in his heart.
All the villagers and the big boss have the same idea, happy that they can restore their status as good citizens, and happy that they can divide the land to survive again after coming down the mountain, but they are unwilling to let go of the land and life of this cottage because they think that they may still encounter flash floods.
Gu Chengfeng followed the opinions of the villagers and proposed to the eighth prince that he was unwilling to leave the cottage.
The eighth prince also proposed a compromise method, let the villagers become people in the court, let them plant the fields, but all the grain planted should belong to the court, and they can only take the rations for work, and cannot swallow them privately.
When the villagers heard this condition, they were also a little unacceptable for a while, originally they planted the fields for self-sufficiency, all the grain belonged to themselves, but now it all belongs to the imperial court, and the grain they have worked hard to grow has to rely on the distribution of rice and grain by the imperial court, how can they accept it?
Gu Chenfeng wanted to talk about it again, but the eighth prince waved his hand: "Don't talk about it anymore, the conditions given to you by this king are already the best, you can't take all the benefits, right?"
It is for the sake of your face that I have negotiated the conditions with you, and this is my sincerity in inviting you to join me.
If you don't grasp it well, then now you are bandits, I will exterminate you bandits, and it will be the same for those who collect the land for the imperial court, if you are still not satisfied, then you will have to make inches! ”
Gu Chenfeng naturally understood this truth, but he just wanted to be able to fight for more, and when he saw that the eighth prince said this, he didn't dare to continue to say it.
Seeing that Gu Chenfeng didn't say any more, the villagers naturally knew that this was already the best condition he could get for everyone.
So I had to accept my fate.
The cottage was no longer their hometown, but had become a place of expropriation by the imperial court, and after negotiating the terms with the Eighth Prince, they immediately went down the mountain to claim their newly divided land under the mountain and restore their status as good citizens.
The group descended the mountain in a mighty way.
Unexpectedly, halfway up the mountain, thunder and lightning began, the wind was howling, and the clouds were thick.
It was clearly a sign that it was going to rain heavily.
The big boss is most familiar with the terrain in the mountain, and he became nervous at the moment, "This mountain will have a flash flood as soon as it rains, and it's okay in the village, but in the middle of the mountain, I'm afraid there will be a flash flood!" ”
