There was a harmonious scene at the reception banquet, a happy scene.

After the reception, the atmosphere of harmony changed suddenly.

Especially led by Zheng Shijun, together with some clan uncles and elders, they couldn't wait to stand up.

It seems that he is afraid that if he says it a little later, the patriarch will not be able to find it!

In the far corner, Yu Youquan, who was fortunate enough to see all this, couldn't help crying and laughing.

It seems that Master, the head of the family, is even more unreliable than he imagined!

Zheng Shijun said solemnly, "Uncle, those southern ferrymen in the north are really hard to fill, today the three mountains will be closed tomorrow, and the taxes paid are less than ours, and many tenants have been abducted by them......"

With Zheng Shijun's generous statement, Yu Youquan slowly understood.

To put it simply, the conflict between locals and immigrants has intensified!

In particular, there are preferential tax policies, which make the locals in the south just big lemons, and the contradictions are becoming more and more difficult to reconcile.

After the Jiakang Rebellion, a large number of clothed people from the north crossed to the south, and a large number of displaced people were derived.

The exile has always been a destabilizing factor, so the imperial court promulgated a policy called "Qiaozhi Prefecture and County".

That is, the names of the prefectures and counties that were originally in the north were moved to the south as they were, so as to collect the displaced people and issue white certificates.

The same was true for those who crossed south, because they were far from their homeland and had lost a large amount of land originally located in the north, which inevitably led to an economic crisis.

Unlike the ordinary people who fled, those northern clans moved south, and that was "more than a thousand families with their children and Lulishishu".

To put it simply, thousands of families with the same family name moved together, and no matter where they moved, the balance of the local situation was immediately upset.

Even anti-guest-oriented!

Specifically referring to the blacks getting the whites out of Paris, when immigrants overtook the natives in terms of population proportion, various problems followed.

In order to encompass those upper-class nobles who moved south, the emperor not only did not break them up and integrate them into the south, but allowed them to annex land in the south in the form of overseas Chinese prefectures and counties.

But this is bitter for the southern locals!

After all, even if the south is slightly less developed than the north, it can be regarded as vast and sparsely populated, but the carrying capacity of the land is limited after all!

What's more, a piece of wasteland requires at least several years of intensive cultivation from clearing to cooking.

Compared with spending years on land reclamation, where is the direct enclosure of land?

As a result, from Jiakang to Yongchang, in just a few years, a large number of southerners were convicted in various ways.

Such as.

Arbitrarily discussing the government, disturbing the country, slandering the king, illegal stargazing, malicious practice, attempting to rebel, and unwarranted ......

Overnight, he was imprisoned, and the wealth industry accumulated for generations came to naught!

Especially those who were imprisoned for "arguing about government affairs" were almost crying to death.

The family property has been encroached upon, and they can't complain?

Yu Youquan couldn't cry or laugh, and couldn't help but think of a joke in his previous life.

The big fat pig was invited to attend the meeting to discuss how to eat pork, and the leaders asked everyone to speak freely, actively put forward opinions, and named the big fat pig to speak first to make a demonstration.

The big fat pig trembled, sweated profusely, and made an opinion - can you not eat pork?

Then the other participants immediately criticized that you, the congressman, are off topic with this opening, and your ideological consciousness is still not high enough!

An old man with gray hair and beard said with tears in his voice, "Please also ask the lord to make decisions for us!" ”

"Please make the decision for us!"

"Please make the decision for us!"

And this is like a domino that has been overturned, and it fell to its knees in a short period of time, and the voices asking the head of the Zheng family to be the master of the Zheng family came and went.

Yu Youquan frowned slightly.

The elders and clansmen here are either surnamed Zheng or the in-laws of the Zheng family, even if they have five suits, their ancestors are basically one family, and they are inextricably linked with the Zheng family.

Even if the relationship is far away, it is more deterrent than the ordinary scholars, let alone the ordinary poor family.

They are all forced to ask the head of the family to be the master, but what about the other small and medium-sized landlords?

Yu Youquan was in a trance, as if he had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The reality is far less warm than the history books, or the history books are always very stingy with their pen and ink on suffering!

Also frowning is Zheng Xuancheng.

Because of this kind of general service, it usually doesn't stab him directly.

Not to mention that as soon as he settled, his nephew and other clan elders couldn't wait to gather together...... Forcing the palace!

This kind of thing is either really miserable for the clan, or it is ...... Someone in tandem!

Zheng Xuancheng's eyes were slightly restrained, not angry and arrogant, not to mention some distant relatives, and some older elders were nervous.

As for Zheng Shijun, who has a ghost in his heart, he is even more trembling and drenched in cold sweat!

Zheng Xuancheng said with a smile, "All the elders are my elders, how can you kneel to me? Get up! ”

The people who knelt on the ground looked at me and I looked at you, but they still stood up one after another.

After a few more pleasantries, everyone sat down again.

Zheng Xuancheng suddenly said, "Ju Li, what do you think of this matter?" As a teacher, how should you make decisions for your relatives and elders? ”

As soon as the words fell, all eyes fell on him.

The crowd was dumbfounded and incredulous.

This kind of big thing related to the fortunes of the clan asks the little apprentice?!

Although they represent more of the Zheng clan in Quarry City, they are not the only ones who have violated their family interests.

Everyone looked at Yu Youquan's low height again and again, as well as his white, tender and pink carved face after bathing in dragon blood, and they were all a little speechless for a while.

Even if it's a pet apprentice, it's not enough to do this, right?

Yu Youquan was stunned.

I'll go!

What does this thankless task ask him to do?

Yu Youquan got up, saluted respectfully, and pretended to be tender, "Master, the apprentice is still young, and he doesn't have any high opinions about this kind of big thing, so you should ask for another master!" ”

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The mouth is hairless, the work is not firm, what is the difference between asking the government Yu Tong and asking the question Yu blind?

Fortunately, this Yu Juli is very self-aware!

Zheng Xuancheng did not hesitate to say, "Ju Li is born with wisdom, so why should he be too humble? And if you say it, we will listen to it too! ”

Yu Youquan: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Is this really the lord they knew?

Is he really a person who can listen to children's words?

Especially Zheng Shijun, there is a sense of hell at this time!

What is the uncle's attitude towards his parent-child Zheng Shibai, no one knows better than him!

Shibai Na is one of the four heroes of the Zheng family, not only is he the son of his uncle, but he is also a genius with cultivation qualifications.

At a young age, he was already a master, and even had a temporary position in the town division.

But.

The uncle's strictness towards his cousin Zheng Shibai made his nephew feel a little palpitating.

What impressed him the most was that once the Shibai brothers lost a set of swordsmanship practice, and his uncle directly used the family method......

This Yu Juli can't be his uncle's illegitimate son, right?!

Yu Youquan was speechless, but after all, it was the master's request, he thought for a while and said, "You need to do it, but it must not be for the Zheng family!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar here.

Everyone's eyes when they looked at Yu Youquan suddenly changed.

Yu Youquan's face didn't change color, so ah, he didn't want to get involved in these pickled things just now!

Compared with these dissatisfied clansmen and elders, Zheng Xuancheng's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Let's talk about it carefully! ”

All the eyes on the scene fell on Yu Youquan again.
