"This is the condition of the Zuo family, how do I choose to get married? Let me all share your opinions. ”

Leaving from Steward Zuo, Chen Chaoxian gathered all the important people of the Chen family together, and told them the conditions proposed by the Zuo family just now to ask their opinions.

After all, the Chen family is not only his Chen family, but also the Chen family of all Chen families, although he is the head of the family, but in the face of matters involving the survival of the family, he still can't make decisions alone.

As soon as Chen Chaoxian's voice fell, he immediately became humane:

"Family master, what is there to hesitate about, since the Zuo family needs us to do this, then we will do it!

If you don't follow the requirements of the Zuo family, causing the Zuo family to choose someone else, then our Chen family won't last long. ”

When he finished speaking, there was another humane:

"Head of the house, I object! This matter is too big, and if I am not careful, my Chen family will fall to the point of no return!

Although it is really possible for my Chen family to decline, but my Chen family can't participate in everything for the sake of rising, this is the sin of the Nine Clans! ”

Some people were in favor and some were against, and in an instant, the entire Chen family was suddenly divided into two factions, arguing with each other endlessly.

Those in favor believe that the Chen family is cornered, and as long as the Chen family can be re-established, then it doesn't matter what to do.

However, the opposition believes that the risk is still too great, and if it leaks out, then the Chen family will be doomed, and I am afraid that the whole family will have to play with them at that time.

Neither side let anyone, the quarrel was red and the neck was thick.

And Chen Chaoxian sat in his place with a gloomy face and said nothing, until he saw that everyone was arguing and arguing, and there were signs of starting to move, so he hurriedly stopped it.

"Enough! I asked you to come here to discuss the direction of life and death after I got married, not to let you quarrel and fight! ”

Chen Chaoxian let out a loud shout, which calmed down both sides for the time being.

Immediately, Chen Chao glanced at the left and right sides first, and immediately said:

"Since none of you can convince anyone, then vote by a show of hands.

We obey the majority of the minority! ”

After that, Chen Chaoxian continued: "I agree with the Chen family's attachment to the Zuo family and help the Zuo family to do this. ”

A large number of hands were raised at the brush scene.

The rest of the people who had not yet raised their hands saw such a scene, and their hearts sank.

Most of the people have a gambler mentality, and the decline of the Chen family over the years has also made the life of the Chen family not so easy these years.

In order to allow the Chen family to continue to rise, in order to be able to continue to live the kind of life before, many people in the Chen family are willing to gamble.

Chen Joseon only glanced at it, and then he knew a little in his heart, bowed his head slightly, and then looked at everyone and continued:

"Then I don't approve of the Chen family's attachment to the Zuo family, and raise your hand if you think this matter is too risky!"

The brush scene raised another hand.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chaoxian already had a rough number in his heart.

Even to the people:

"Eleven against, seventeen in favor.

Favor wins! ”

When the opposition heard this, their faces suddenly darkened.

The pro-rators are jubilant, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Listening to Chen Chaoxian, he continued: "According to the principle of the minority obeying the majority as mentioned before, then my Chen family will do this for the Zuo family and attach myself to the Zuo family!" ”

Randomly as if to appease the opposition, Chen Chaoxian continued:

"You can rest assured that although the risk is high, it is not that big.

Now the imperial court wants to implement a new policy, and the new policy is unpopular, which has led to the opposition of the Zuo family, and we are not the only ones who have done this kind of thing.

When the time comes, the world will be lit, and we will only be one of the insignificant ones, and we will not attract too much attention.

Besides, the big housekeeper of the Zuo family will also stay in our Chen family town, so we don't have to worry about being pitted by the Zuo family. ”

Hearing Chen Chaoxian's words, those opposition factions breathed a sigh of relief.

And now that he has made a decision, Chen Chaoxian doesn't want to delay any longer, time is life, and he can't afford to waste it so much.

Immediately, Chen Chaoxian hurriedly went to the place where the housekeeper of the Zuo family was and told him the Chen family's decision.

After receiving the affirmative reply from the Chen family, the housekeeper of the Zuo family was overjoyed, but he only nodded slightly with an unmoving expression on his face, and told Chen Chaoxian:

"Very good, the Chen family made the right choice.

As long as the family does what our Zuo family requires, then our main family will definitely help the eldest son of the Chen family enter the court and enter the Inspectorate.

At that time, the Chen family will definitely be able to rise again! ”

"Hahaha, then it depends on the good words of Steward Zuo!"

"It's just the truth."

……

"Daddy! Did you hear that? The imperial court wants to clear the acres of land because the court feels that the money is not enough to spend, and is ready to clear all the acres of land in the world and then increase taxes! ”

"What! Tax increases?!

Our tax has been increased to seven, and the court will increase the tax, so what are we going to eat? ”

"Where does the court care about you, our own land here is fine, Dad, those tenant farmers are even more miserable, they have to bear more, as soon as the court increases taxes, they may not even have to eat wild vegetables!"

I have heard that people have decided to take back all their fields and no longer rent them for planting, but to plant them themselves.

When the time comes, there will be no land, and I am afraid that they will really have to dig wild vegetables to survive.

Hiss! ”

On the second day after the Chen family agreed to the conditions, a rumor suddenly circulated in Jingping Mansion and quickly spread.

The other families in Jingping Mansion were originally skeptical and unbelieving this rumor, but the government of Jingping Mansion held an ambiguous attitude towards this rumor, neither clarifying nor confirming it.

This suddenly made the family of Jingping Mansion hesitate.

Could it be that this rumor is it true?

Otherwise, how could Jingping Mansion be like this?

But they didn't know that someone from the court had already greeted them in this matter, so Jingping Mansion would have such an attitude.

And as the rumors spread more and more, soon the entire Jingping Mansion knew the news.

The people who planted their land were terrified by the news.

Calculate how they can ensure the survival of their family if the tax is raised.

And those tenant farmers, especially those tenant farmers of the Chen family who had the right to cultivate the land when the news came out at the beginning when the news came out, are not just uneasy now, because the Chen family is really going to take back the land!

"Woooooooooooo Steward Chen! Please! If the Chen family takes all the fields back, what will we do? Our family is going to starve to death! ”

"Steward Chen! Raise your noble hand and let us live. We can't afford to lose these fields! ”

"Woo woo, Steward Chen, it's a big deal that we will have less in the future, and the Chen family can't take back the land!"

In the Chen family's field, the Chen family's housekeeper who was sent shook his head with a firm face and said:

"It's not that our Chen family doesn't want to give everyone a way out, but during this time, I'm afraid everyone has heard that the imperial court is going to raise taxes.

And the tax is already high, if the court raises the tax again, and this field is rented to you, then my Chen family will lose money.

Originally, my Chen family's life has not been easy these years, if it is a loss on this field again, then it is you, and even I am afraid that I will not be able to live.

Therefore, the Chen family could only take back the fields and cultivate them themselves. ”

"Steward Chen, what should we do then?"

The housekeeper of the Chen family shook his head: "You better prepare in advance, maybe you can also go and rent the land of other families in the mansion, maybe they can rent it to you." ”

However, after listening to Steward Chen's words, the despair in the eyes of these tenant farmers was even worse.

They haven't been looking for anything these days, trying to be prepared.

But after the news spread, other families in the palace are also worried about raising taxes, and I am afraid that most of the families are now starting to reclaim land instead of recruiting tenant farmers, just like the Chen family.

It can be said that once the Chen family takes back the land, they really have no way out.

"Woooooooooo......oo Steward Chen can't do it! ”

"Steward Chen!"

"Steward Chen!"

In the face of the bitter pleading of the tenant farmers, the housekeeper of the Chen family was unmoved, how could he be soft-hearted about the tasks assigned by the old man.

After taking back all the fields, Steward Chen immediately ignored these people, turned around and left here.

And looking at the back of him leaving, the people were in despair.

Looking at his own children who were waiting to be fed, and his skinny wife and family, he suddenly cried bitterly from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that the way to live is broken, some thoughts that I dare not live on weekdays have gradually come to my heart.

At this time, the corners of some people's mouths slowly rose.
