Chapter 1548: Press on the ground and rub
When Fang Jifan arrived at the Zhongtang, it was already crowded.
In fact, it is not just the people in the hall, but there are many people outside this Fang family.
There are hundreds of them.
They all came hurriedly after hearing the news.
These people all looked restless, with obvious anxiety on their faces.
It's going to be finished, it's really going to be finished.
In the past, people who borrowed loans died quickly, but now they are better, and these gentry who are more cautious and retained the land can no longer escape.
I really want to cry without tears.
After a while, a team of guards came over openly.
Duke Qi was assassinated not long ago, and now he has more than a hundred guards to protect him, which is not an exaggeration.
When everyone saw Fang Jifan coming, they all wanted to say something. It was delicious, but they didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Wang Shixun was a person who had seen the world. He stepped forward first and bowed, "I have met Duke Qi..."
Fang Jifan looked at him without looking at him: "Who are you?"
Wang Shixun smiled and said, "I am the King of Qinghe, Shixun."
"I haven't heard of which onion Wang Shixun is."
This is a naked slap in the face.
After all, he is a well-known person. He is not at all implicit in saying such words in person. Wang Shixun still smiles on his face, but he endures it.
Of course, he didn't have much contact with Fang Jifan after all. If he had been in contact for a long time, he knew that Fang Jifan would talk to everyone except the emperor, so he might feel better.
Wang Shixun said: "I am a woodcutter in the mountains and fields, and I am not worth mentioning. The Duke of Qi has never heard of it. Haha... it is reasonable."
Fang Jifan had already sat down and drank tea, without raising his head: "After saying that, what's the matter?"
"I'm waiting here, but I'm asking about it. I dare to ask Duke Qi, this... this... today I'm going to post a list, and it talks about the land of Xishan Money House..."
"Oh, that's the case." Fang Jifan put down his teacup and showed a righteous expression: "As we all know, Fang Jifan treats the people as innocent. In this world, no one can let go of us. In this heart, the only thing we can let go is the people. People, life is too hard, eating braised vegetables, and not covering their clothes, and suffering. We Fang Jifan has read books, Meng Shengren, that dog... No, Meng Shengren, he is an old man.
What does the family say? People are noble and noble, right? You have all read books and must have heard this sentence. I am deeply convinced of this. What is more important than the people in this world? People live in this world, just food, clothing, housing and transportation. Without clothes, they cannot keep warm. Without food, the people will starve to death. How can we, Jiefan, bear to be here, but let the people be alone and helpless?"
Fang Jifan said again: "Last night I had a dream. In my dream, I saw Saint Kong coming to the dream and said to me, Xiao Fang, you have a great future. Over the years, you have done a lot of things for the world. The saint has been dead for thousands of years, but I am the same in my heart. As the saint said, he got angry, saying that it was the land of China, the poor people were like crucian carp crossing the river, the wine and meat smelled smelly, and the road was frozen to death. Fang Jifan is the direct disciple of this saint, how could he let it go?"
Wang Shixun: “…”
To be honest, there are really no one who dares to call himself the direct disciple of Saint Confucius...
But no one can refute this kind of thing when dreaming about it.
Even though he knew Fang Jifan was talking nonsense, what else could he say? He said he made up a mess? But he had to care about his personal safety!
Fang Jifan said with a heartbroken feeling: "I woke up from my dream today and realized that I had sinned. It is really not easy for a saint to be a great man. He is a scholar. I touched my conscience and said, should I take out money, grain and land to help the world?"
Wang Shixun and others were all silent.
Suddenly, Fang Jifan slapped the table and a few clangs, which scared the group of silent people to their hearts.
Fang Jifan said loudly: "We Fang Jifan is not talented, and we don't have much money and food, but we have land and not much land, just 150 million acres. We will take it to help the people. Why? Is there anyone who wants to stop our Fang Jifan from doing good deeds? Come on, let's talk about who is so bold."
The gentry all had their faces ashen.
What does your good deed have to do with us, but you are just a trash.
But no matter what, Fang Jifan said, he could not find any mistakes.
Wang Shixun was anxious and hurriedly said, "Duke Qi is so noble and honest, and the students are very impressed. But... it's just... the people have lived a good life. Over the years, there have been no disasters and no one has starved to death. The Duke of Qi's land is exempt from renting, which may only cause low grains and low grains to hurt farmers. Please think twice."
Fang Jifan sneered and shook his head and said, "This is not a worry. Anyway, hurting it is not a harm to ordinary people. People can only eat and drink enough for their own farming. The excess food is also limited. How can we hurt farmers?"
"I'm still hoping to be cheaper. The craftsmen and apprentices in this city also need to eat and drink. If you want to eat and drink, you have to buy food. The food is too expensive. What do they eat?"
Wang Shixun became even more anxious: "Once this is exempt from rent, it will not be collected. It is said that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance. Have the Duke of Qi ever thought that once this precedent is set, the tenants will have enough food and drink, and in the future... if they encounter any natural disaster, they will be a little hungry, but they may not be grateful to Duke of Qi."
Fang Jifan sounded funny.
I think Wang Shixun and others can't find a reason.
Of course... if Fang Jifan, who had been a man for two lifetimes, finds this kind of rhetoric, it may not be possible in this era.
When encountering such an unreasonable person, Fang Jifan often makes no sense than them: "What does this have to do with you? Are they grateful or not? I just want to be free of rent, dog things, is this what you can say?"
Wang Shixun wants to die.
But...a disaster is coming.
What can he say when it comes to this point?
No matter what, we must try our best to stop this.
Seeing that Fang Jifan was indifferent, he immediately said: "What's more, once this happens, the land price will definitely plummet. Duke of Qi, the students are also planning for you. This will violate the lives of many people. How can they be so hasty? Students are only afraid that someone will be unfair and even... causing chaos. At that time, blood will flow into a river. Duke of Qi loves the people, how can they bear to see such a situation?"
Finally came...
This is almost a naked threat.
Aren’t you Fang Jifan afraid of forcing someone to rebel?
Once you rebel, you, Fang Jifan, cannot control it.
Just now, the other gentry who were also panicked heard this and immediately became a little confident.
yes.
You Fang Jifan try it. Do you think that those of us who are rich and food in the local area are vegetarians?
How many people who offended gentry in history have good consequences?
It would be fine if Fang Jifan didn't listen, but when he heard it, he couldn't help laughing.
This laugh was particularly harsh.
Wang Shixun and others felt that their self-esteem had been insulted.
One was blushing.
Then, he saw Fang Jifan stroking his hands and said, "Why, who wants to rebel, who dares to rebel? Is it you... or you..."
Wang Shixun shook his head quickly: "The students are talking about other people."
Fang Jifan was extremely excited: "If this is the case, it would be great. I already wanted to add one of the land policies that is not rentable. Anyone who joins the army in his family can rent a hundred acres of land. Look... their whole family can benefit from it. One hundred acres of land is enough for the family to live a good life. With these rent-free land, the court's grain tax is easy to collect. The court has money and grain, and the source of troops is sufficient. I just want to see who wants to rebel. From His Royal Highness to the ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that someone will rebel. It just happens that the rebellious family will kill these rebellious families and seek credit, and they will not let anyone go."
Hearing this... the gentry's faces pale and their hearts were completely cold.
Give preferential treatment to enlisted personnel?
Granting a hundred acres of land for rent?
This...is quite a bit like the strategy of the government troops during the Tang Dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was precisely through this strategy that the powerful military horses of the Tang Dynasty were created.
The gentry seemed to be able to see that once someone rebelled, there was only one order here in the West Mountain. Countless young and strong people enthusiastically joined the army. The court spread a lot of money and food. They rode horses, carried muskets or refined swords, and rushed towards the rebels like a blocking the sky and the sun.
Someone couldn't help but shivered.
Speaking of this, people's sad discoveries...
This time... it's really hard to save even the gods.
We must have great justice, and great justice lies in the hands of Fang Jifan.
To move troops, Fang Jifan could press them to the ground and rub them hundreds of times.
More people than you...there are more people than you.
Compared to silver, someone else's silver can kill you.
The gentry exploded in an instant, and a group of gentry representatives came into this hall. Look at me, I look at you... it seems that the coffin is at your feet.
Wang Shixun suddenly felt that his heart was so painful. He breathed rapidly and fell into despair. Then... he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Duke of Qi... You dare to do such a thing today, don't regret it later. In all dynasties, did the Duke of Qi have seen Wang Mang and Wang Anshi, what would the end of a person like... I've said everything I should say today, don't say it yourself..."
He wanted to say not to make mistakes...
But it was wrong to have no exit.
Slammed...
Anger flashed through Fang Jifan's eyes.
No one can talk to Fang Jifan like this.
Even if we Fang Jifan wants to crush you, you can't say it.
At this time, Fang Jifan took out his short gun...
Wang Shixun's eyes were in front of him.
Before he could understand what was going on.
Bang!
Pungent smoke filled the air.
Oh……
Wang Shixun was twisting his face into a ball, and his hands were covering his thighs with blood. His thighs were bleeding, and suddenly a dazzling red color appeared. He wailed: "Give me a good reason, how can you... how can you do this... ah..."
