Ouyang Bian glanced at the tea farmers who looked up at him, smiled softly, and took out a yellow scroll from his arms: "All ministers, the people will listen to the imperial edict!"

Everyone knelt down one after another.

The Song Dynasty did not have the habit of kneeling down and talk on his knees, whether he met officials, elders, or even emperors.

But there are also cases where exceptions are: when the edict is conveyed, the loess will be used to pave the road and set up incense tables. The prefectures and county magistrates will go out of the city to greet them, and the people will kneel down and listen to the Xuan.

This practice is actually to enhance the dignity of the law and make people feel awe.

Ouyang Bian read out loudly.

"In ancient times, the benefits of mountains and lakes were shared with the people. Therefore, the people were enough to be below, and the king was richer to be above.

The country has no trouble, and punishments have been carried out in the Qing Dynasty. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, there has been a ban on tea, which has been in a state of being more profitable and has been withered for two hundred years.

If you hear that you have experienced it, you will be very frustrated. The people who are punished and asked for help will only sigh every day; the officials who are subject to evil will be accumulated every year.

If you have privately hiding thieves and dealers, there are many offenders; if you are severely punished, you will not bear it. If you hear about the fields, you will not be able to do anything, and merchants will not be able to do so. Alas, it is like this!... I am looking at you again, but it is still as if you are unhappy.

Therefore, my edict says that if a tea farmer on Jinghu North Road is willing to continue to be a gardener, he will continue to do it, and there is no need to be a risk of absent;

Those who do not want to be a gardener can leave the tea produced and purchase the goods at the price. There is no need to worry about it... They must be punished with clear punishment, use a warning to prevent madness and inform them, and they will be in line with my intentions."

After the imperial edict was read, the field was silent.

The edict uses classical Chinese, and ordinary tea farmers really don’t understand it.

Ouyang Bian knew what was going on at a glance and said with a smile: "Let me explain to you, the official family means that tea farmers on Jinghu North Road, who want to be a gardener, can continue to do it, but there will be no quota.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to be a gardener, you can continue to eat tea, but the tea must be sold to the decree.”

"Okay! That's great!" Li Dazhong burst into tears when he heard this.

This is the most important thing.

Tian Lun and others will not exile in death, but actually have nothing to do with most tea farmers.

Their saying that they came here was to make trouble, but in fact, the most core thing is that they don’t want to be a gardener, and they also want to continue growing tea.

Some people say that the villagers are simple, but in fact, the villagers are never simple. They have the cunning to survive, and some evils are hard for the people in the city to imagine.

Other tea farmers also cheered.

Only Lu Dafang and the founding official Yu looked at each other.

Ouyang Bian looked at the cheering tea farmer, smiled, turned to Lu Dafang and the official of the punishment, and said, "Mr. Lu, Lord Yu, the matter has been done, I will say goodbye."

Lu Dafang quickly said, "What are the words of the Taiwanese officials? The Taiwanese officials came from afar from the capital and did such great merits for the people of Jinghu North Road. How could they leave? The officials of this bureau want to do their best to be the landlord!"

Ouyang Bian nodded and smiled, "There are still many things today, can you do tomorrow?"

Ouyang Bian did not refuse such activities that could expand social interactions. Since he chose to embark on his career, he would have to make more friends and less enemies. This is the kingly way.

Lu Dafang nodded and said, "That's natural, then I'll ask someone to invite a Taiwanese official tomorrow."

Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile: "Then thank you Lord Lu."

Ouyang Bian turned his head and ordered Wang Shao and Zhongyi, "Help evacuate the tea farmers, don't have a stampede..."

Ouyang Bian carefully instructed to supervise the evacuation of tea farmers on the spot.

Lu Dafang was surrounded by a group of officials and entered the supervisory department.

Lu Dawei retreated from the left and right, leaving only him and Lord Yu.

Lord Yu was quite surprised. What was Lu Dafang going to do?

Lu Dafang said: "What does Lord Yu think about today's affairs?"

Lord Yu was a little puzzled: "What do you think?

Lu Dafang said: "What I don't understand is why Ouyang Bian didn't invite the imperial edict first today, so it would be very changeable, but why did he..."

Lu Dafang didn't say it in full.

Master Yu nodded and said, "I probably have some guesses... I guess, this should be something Ouyang Bian can do."

Lu Dafang said in surprise: "Do you think so too?"

Lord Yu nodded and said, "That's right, I felt something was wrong from the beginning. Ouyang Bian's attitude was quite tough from the beginning. Ordinary officials dare not say this under the siege of tens of thousands of people.

At first I thought it was because of his youthfulness, but at the end, I vaguely felt that this was a very clever wrist. I only remembered it when you remind me.”

Lu Dafang nodded: "I thought I was the only one who thought so, and I was still mocking myself if I was too sensitive...

Ouyang Bian cut the tea farmers from the beginning, which was a warning and the first step;

Next, the second step is to win the hearts of the soldiers and use the soldiers to shout in unison and light up swords and guns to make them feel chilled;

Ouyang Bian started to clarify his ambitions, saying that he was here to solve the problem, and set the tone at the beginning, and he must be reasonable. If anyone is making trouble, he will not be afraid of using weapons. This sets the tone for the subsequent handling. This is the fourth step.

As for why the imperial edict was not read first, it may be because if the imperial edict was read first, leaving expectations for tea farmers and verdicts against Tian Lun and others, the tea farmers might be more aggravated and demanded acquittal release.

In this way, we may have to sit on wax because we cannot acquit Tian Lun and the others. After all, they killed officers and soldiers. If they could all be acquitted, where would the majesty of the court be placed?

But if he doesn't let go, the tea farmer will not give up. Only Ouyang Bian's method is to be powerful first and then kind, and to be kind and benevolent.

Only in this way can we preserve the majesty of the country and law, and gain the gratitude of the people, while allowing them to feel the majesty of the court.

As the ancients said, "Good and powerful together, you must always be kind and maintain majesty in governing the country.

It is natural for some people to be grateful, but some people are afraid of being virtuous. There are still many such people. If you want them to obey gratitude, you must first let them feel majesty. After feeling majesty, then they will be grateful."

Lu Dafang reviewed and analyzed it himself, and the more he analyzed it, the more shocked he became.

This Ouyang Bian looks like a teenager, but he is so skillful in manipulating people's hearts and is so skillful in doing things. It's really scary. I heard that he is only fifteen years old?

Lord Yu said, "My Lord Lu, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

Lu Dafang said: "There are only two of us here, so what can we say?"

Lord Yu's expression was a little solemn: "I see that Ouyang Bian was pressing the tea farmer with murderous aura in his eyes. If the tea farmer really did something, Lord Lu said, would he really order a murder?"

Lu Dafang laughed in silence: "I'm not him, how do you know if he will kill someone..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, pondered for a while before saying, "...I think if the tea farmers were really rioting today... Jinghu North Road would probably cause a bloody storm."

Lord Yu said in surprise: "He really dares to kill people?"

Lu Dafang's face was a little unnatural: "Ouyang Bian's eyes were naturally sharp and murderous, but that didn't mean anything. The murderous aura I saw in the eyes of soldiers was truly like the essence.

Especially the generals led by, the so-called chief of staff Wang Shao, their eyes truly revealed their intentions.

Lord Yu, look, Ouyang Bian cooperated with the soldiers so skillfully today, and you can tell at a glance that they must have communicated in advance.

When Ouyang Bian ordered them to show their swords and guns, the murderous aura in their eyes became almost real, which shows that they were mentally prepared and were ready to kill people."

Lord Yu was a little afraid: "You really dare to kill someone?"

Lu Dafang was a little angry and a little funny: "Mr. Yu, you are also an old official. You have never seen any scene before. You are not so afraid of it, right?"

Lord Yu shook his head and sighed: "It is precisely because of this that I am still afraid!

The tragedy I have seen on weekdays are just scattered corpses that robbers robbed and killed people, which is actually scary enough.

If it was a scene like today, not to mention how many deaths, even if hundreds of people died, you, Lord Lu, will never forget that scene for your entire life.

...By the way, is this Ouyang Bian really so cruel?"

Lu Dafang shook his head: "You are wrong. Before Ouyang Bian arrived, I received a letter from Beijing in the same year.

This time, His Majesty, the Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, and the Privy Council agreed to quell the rebellion, but Ouyang Bian took the task with one effort.

Seeing that today's handling is not about killing people... Ouyang Bian, the Rakshasa method, is the heart of the Bodhisattva!"

Lord Yu exclaimed: "In this way, this young man is really amazing. He has both the heart of a Bodhisattva and the means of thunder, and such a way to see people's hearts and manipulate people's hearts... Tsk tsk, with his background, skills, and age, this boy's future is limitless!"

Lu Dafang smiled and said, "Do you know how I told me in the same year in Beijing?"

Master Yu said: "I wish to hear the details.

Lu Dafang whispered: "Mr. Yu, I am a colleague with you for many years, otherwise I would not tell you this news..."

After whispering, Lord Yu's face became more and more surprised: "Where is he such a background?"

Lu Dafang smiled and said, "If it weren't for this, where did you learn his methods? Tsk, it's unique. It's normal for a long-term husband to have such ability."

Lord Yu shook his head and said, "No, I didn't mean this, I mean, he planned the Agricultural Bank of China and the Central Bank?"

"Of course, everyone knows this on Jinghu North Road... Oh, yes, not long after you came here, he was transferred back to Bianjing to serve as the supervisory censor, and you just missed it."

Lord Yu couldn't help but be fascinated: "You don't know, when I was on Guangnan West Road before, the officials on the West Road talked about how envious Jinghu North Road was, and envied the central bank for deepening its efforts on Jinghu North Road.
