Now that he heard these words... he looked up in shock.

Then I saw a rope hanging alone on the beam of the house.

At this time, Liu Hongxun's heart was completely collapsed.

This feeling of the inheritance of more than ten generations being destroyed by once made his mind buzz.

He could no longer hear his son's words, but he just lined up the female relatives and stepped on the stool.

Everyone woke up and found that Liu Hongxun had stepped on the stool and his head had reached into the rope.

Suddenly, another mess started to jump up, some people shouted, and some rushed forward.

Liu Hongxun was rescued.

On the contrary, Liu Wenchang was anxious now, grabbed Liu Hongxun tightly and said in disgrace: "Father, son deserves to die..."

"Shame, shameful..." Liu Hongxun seemed to have exhausted his energy all at once, and murmured: "Did you insult your ancestors? What kind of face do you have to meet your ancestors? You don't have to stop me..."

After saying that, he burst into tears.

So the Liu family cried all over the place.

It's been tossing until midnight.

Liu Hongxun had not yet entered the drip of water, but at this time, he calmed down a little.

Sitting upright, Liu Hongxun looked at Liu Wenchang solemnly, then said: "Why is the stock falling so much? I have also heard some rumors, right?"

"It has something to do with the new policy." Liu Wenchang interrupted Liu Hongxun's words and then continued in frustration: "When building the railway, I calculated the new policy and did not count the cost of land at all. Now I don't know which one of the consciences insisted that Your Majesty suspend the new policy. Father... Do you know... As soon as the new policy is temporarily suspended, the local gentry raised their heads. The railway was about to pass through. Where would they follow their land?"

"Some lions speak loudly, some are determined to refuse to agree at will, watch the wind direction, and a railway line involves thousands of land purchases. Even if only a few families don't let go, they won't think of repairing the road. What's scary is not this, someone has already inquired. In fact, 40% of people are easy to talk about, and they are willing to sell land as long as the market price is at the market price. The talks were already agreed, but now they are overturned because they are not stupid. When they find out that other people, the lions speak loudly, even if they are honest people, they are afraid of such a boring loss. Why can others sell their own land at the market price? Now it has become a mess, and the railway company has sent many people to discuss with each other."

"It is impossible to talk about so many people involved." Liu Hongxun is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet after all, and he knows these people better than anyone else. He shook his head and said, "There is no way to talk about it."

In fact... Liu Hongxun's words are not unreasonable. What is your emperor? As long as there is no new policy and no house search, these gentry will never compromise. In history, Emperor Chongzhen put down his old face and went around to borrow money from ministers and gentry, and they were about to cry. After all... the swords of the Jiannu people and the bandits were all put on their necks, which was reasonable. Whether for the interests of their gentry or for the sake of the emperor, everyone would take some money to overcome the difficulties together. This is actually a thing of the past.

But so what? If others ignore it, they would rather die at the hands of bandits or Jiannu. Even if the whole family is killed, they will never pay a tael of silver.

Liu Hongxun is very clear that there is no difference between letting people pluck their hair and fighting to the death.

"If these roads are not built, 150 million taels are available. The railway company has already obtained the money. They will not lose money. However, the stocks we bought at high prices are betting that other railways will be built one after another. If they fail to build, they will die!"

Liu Wenchang is very serious about the word "death".

This is not a joke, it is really going to die.

If this continues, there will be no difference between stocks and waste paper.

And what else can the Liu family be left?

Liu Hongxun couldn't help but feel an indescribable disgust in his heart.

"I don't know which treacherous slander in this court actually asked for a temporary suspension of the new policy. This is to cut off the roots of our Liu family. Such a dog thief is really harmful to others and himself. My father... they have made us suffer."

In the past, he said he hated His Majesty and Zhang Jingyi's indiscriminate killings, but now, what he hates are those gentry who do not know the general.

At this time, Liu Hongxun looked at Liu Wenchang with a strange expression and said, "To tell you the truth, it is my father's idea to suspend the new policy..."

Liu Wenchang: “…”

Liu Hongxun continued with a wry smile: "I was really unwise to be a father at the time. I didn't sort out the relationship here. The most hateful ones are those so-called damn gentry..."

When he talked about this, Liu Hongxun was so angry that he said sternly: "I was talking to them in the court, but these people didn't know the general idea. The construction of the railway is beneficial to the country and the people. They will not suffer any loss when purchasing their land. But these people... are too greedy."

After pausing, he continued: "Now that it is reasonable for the Liaodong prince to advocate the new policy. Local gentry, who are corrupt and abused the law, exploited and harmed the people, these people have a high opinion of themselves and do not take the court seriously. They are really a major concern for our Ming Dynasty."

"Father..." Liu Wenchang stared at Liu Hongxun: "Son, let me tell you, these days, my son has been thinking about it. What's wrong with this new policy? What's wrong with this world? What's wrong with the land in this world? As for those so-called landlords and gentry, while getting land, what's the benefit to the country? These people are useless to stay. They always say that the court is not as good as bandits, but where did these bandits come from? They are not forced out by these damn gentry?"

"The princes of Liaodong have indeed acted a little too radical, but they must be too corrected. Otherwise, would they still whisper? Just talk about the new policy, with such great resistance, and they will say angrily to those people, can they agree? It's not the same, I have to fight you desperately. It's either Zhang Jing dies or those people die. But I still insist on saying that Zhang Jing is cruel and unkind, which is actually unreasonable."

Liu Wenchang paused, then looked at Liu Hongxun carefully and continued: "If the new policy fails, Zhang Jingyi will lose his power in the future. In the end, will he be the second Liu Jin be cut into pieces? Since that's the case... Zhang Jingyi's killing is worse than killing people, and it's nothing wrong to say that he is self-protection than to kill people!"

If these words were said before, they would be absolutely shocking.
