Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly thought of something, and directly gasped, this ...... This...... This thing...... It's not hard to figure it out.

Because, what he knew was that the shopkeeper in front of him was not his Wei family in Huayin County, but also several other small families, which together could basically cover the entire Huayin County.

If all the families have signed a contract with His Highness...... This means that Wei Yi didn't dare to say anything, because His Highness had already pried the most critical things of those gate valve families!

It is true that the family of gate lords has mastered knowledge, so they can control the imperial court and influence so deeply, which is true.

But again, they also need resources! All of their sources of income, not to mention all, cut off most of their sources of income...... It can be said that His Highness directly dug up their foundations!

Wei Yi was deeply shocked, is this the handiwork of His Royal Highness King Qin? It turns out that things like Datang Weekly are just petty fights? And His Royal Highness takes the world as a chessboard, and Wei is not blind to how much of a threat the gate valve family has to the past dynasties, but he himself is also from the gate valve, although he is now lonely, but he is unwilling to break this system.

But now, when His Royal Highness came to the door, Wei Yi knew that the times were changing, and the gate valve family had to make changes, otherwise it would only be eliminated.

How brilliant was Hedong Wei hundreds of years ago? Why did you end up here? Isn't it because it didn't adapt to the times?

The change in Wei Yi's expression, Hu Zheng naturally saw it, but he was not surprised, if these family masters couldn't even understand this, then they were not worth His Highness's investigation for so long in the early stage, looking for them as partners.

"Master Wei, His Royal Highness once said that in this general trend of the world, the class of the Tang Dynasty has long been solidified, and if you don't seek change, you will inevitably be eliminated. The people of the world, including you poor families, merchant families, are like schools of fish under the frozen lake in winter, the people are ordinary small fish, you are just a larger school of fish, if the water surface is the dragon gate, and the really big gate valve family is the fishermen who have crossed the lake and have evolved. ”

"And now, the water surface that was originally the Dragon Gate has long been turned into ice by them."

"They feed on your flesh and the flesh of the people of the world, and it seems that one or two rise up once in a while, but they are only holes carved by fishermen in the ice under their control. Because there is a hole, these schools of fish will swarm and peck at each other. In this way, it will not be possible to concentrate on breaking through the ice. ”

"So, if you want to rise and cross the dragon gate on the water, what you have to do is not to find that pothole, but to break the frozen lake!" Hu said calmly.

Wei Yi took a deep breath: "Shopkeeper Hu, I've been taught." ”

"The master of the Wei family is polite, this is what His Highness said. Therefore, before concentrating enough strength to break this ice surface, please keep it a secret from the Wei family master. Hu Zheng said with a faint smile.

"Shopkeeper Hu, don't worry, as far as you and I know, I will never reveal half of it to the public." Wei Yi said with a serious face.

"Well, I believe that the wisdom of the Wei family master is enough to see clearly, His Royal Highness King Qin does not lack the means to break the ice, but His Royal Highness King Qin wants to give you and the people of the world a chance to participate, after all, in this process, there is always a succession, set some examples, and the fish under the lake will be more powerful." Hu Zheng said with a smile.

Wei Yi nodded silently, this was a threat and an encouragement. The threat was to tell him that even if he told the news to those big gate lord families, His Royal Highness King Qin didn't care, and there was a way to eliminate their influence. Needless to say, the person or family who stands out in the process will always be rewarded.

"If Your Highness has any orders in the future, Shopkeeper Hu will tell me directly." Wei Yi arched his hand.

When Hu Zheng was discussing with the Wei family, hundreds of miles away, on the outskirts of Shudi, Dahe Township, Shijiawan Village, Shi Laojiu was listening to the village chief's narration.

"This time, it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin's firm that wants to sign a contract with us, each of our families can plant fifteen acres of hemp crops, and then harvest them regularly and sell them to His Royal Highness the King of Qin's caravan, without everyone to spin threads and weave linen cloth for sale, His Royal Highness's guaranteed purchase price for everyone is the price of 2 stone 5 per acre!"

"The so-called guarantee is that these hemp crops are purchased at the unit price per catty, if at the end of the year, the unit price of an acre of land sold to His Royal Highness exceeds the price of two and a half stones, then it will be sold according to the actual selling price, if it is less than two and a half, then His Highness will make up for it!" The village chief addressed all the people in the village.

"This ...... Village Chief, is this okay? Shi Laojiu hesitated and asked.

"What could be the problem? Do you believe His Royal Highness King Qin? The village chief looked at him and asked.

"No, the village chief looked at what you said, I don't believe others, can I still believe His Royal Highness King Qin? Everyone knows how much land we can cultivate with the few curved plows we bought in our village last year. His Royal Highness King Qin is our savior, how can we not believe His Royal Highness King Qin? Shi Laojiu hurriedly spoke.

"It's just that I think, isn't this bad for His Royal Highness King Qin, after all, this hemp is not valuable, even if we weave it into linen ourselves, we don't have much money in the end, Your Highness buys it at such a high price, can this work?" Shi Laojiu was a little worried.

He doesn't understand any big truth, he just doesn't want His Royal Highness King Qin to lose money, in his heart, if His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't lose money, maybe he can provide them with more good things, and it's a good thing for a long time.

Although he is uneducated, he also understands the truth of a full meal.

"Yes, village chief, in this case, His Royal Highness King Qin will spend a lot of money on our village alone, not to mention that these ten miles and eight townships should have similar policies, so how much will His Royal Highness King Qin have to spend in the entire Tang Dynasty." Another villager couldn't help but ask.

"What? His Royal Highness the King of Qin gave you money, and it was wrong? The village chief scolded with a smile.

"No, I'm not the one who doesn't know what to do, I just think that Your Highness has lost too much money...... What if there is no money to continue developing agricultural tools in the future...... Didn't the carpenter who built us the zigzag plough say before? According to Datang Weekly, His Royal Highness King Qin also spent a lot of money on the research and development of these farm tools! The man said with some embarrassment.

"I can understand everyone's worries, but since His Highness asked us to do this, it must be His Highness's reason, maybe His Highness wants these hemp to do bigger things, we can't delay His Highness's affairs, right? Besides, think about it, isn't it just to make our people live a better life if Your Highness gives everyone such a high purchase price? ”

"We can't live up to His Highness's kindness."
