The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 645

[Chapter 645 Don’t ask about the future]

“”

Everyone was speechless after hearing this.

What does this new Amber mean?

Could it be that those who don’t pay the land tax today will all be invited to drink tea, and if they pay the land tax, they can live in peace?

Why does it sound like a bandit? ?

But then I thought about it, they just admitted that they were bandits, what could they say?

You can’t argue with a bandit and robber, right?

That’s the problem. They have no choice but to ignore it. They either go to the Yamen to drink tea or hand in the land tax.

They are unwilling to do both, and now it seems that this problem seems unsolvable.

Fang Xiu looked at the sad faces of the group of them and couldn’t help but laugh, and asked: “Gentlemen, no matter how much land you have, how much land tax can you pay? I

‘ll tell you the truth, this It is your Majesty’s intention to unite the land and the land. No matter how much you struggle, it is useless.

Don’t you know what you are thinking?

It’s just a word, delay!

As long as you delay it long enough, this matter will cause trouble in the court. Attention, it can be solved by attracting His Majesty’s attention.

But to be honest, do you really not understand why I appear in Zhongyuan Road?”

Everyone had a look of despair on their faces when they heard this. They understood this very well. What does it mean?

“Your Majesty is on my side, who can you count on?

I just attended King Kang’s banquet in the capital a few days ago. Those guys from the Ministry of Revenue were scolded by me, but they couldn’t retaliate. Do you know why? “

“”

Everyone was just silent.

Fang Xiu saw this and smiled: “It seems that you know. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t have this expression.

My words are here today. If you don’t agree with the method of uniting the land and the Ding, you can write to Your Majesty, the land tax must be paid today. You don’t have to pay it. Then go to the Yamen to drink tea.

As for how long you will drink tea, I might as well tell you when you will hand in the land tax and when you will leave! Don’t think that what I did will arouse His Majesty’s suspicion. When

His

Majesty was suffering that day, I stood by His Majesty’s side so firmly. Do you think His Majesty believed in me or you?

With so many soldiers here, you can’t even think about using force to cause any trouble. It’s unrealistic and you know it’s impossible.

In that case, why bother?”

Fang Xiu was really sincere this time.

In the past, he would crush them directly, but this time, he understood.

If the gentry from the entire Central Plains Road unite, there will be some trouble.

So we need to cut through the mess quickly!

In addition to this, it is a combination of kindness and power. Of course, it can also be said to be coercion and inducement, depending on how others interpret it.

The gentlemen were slightly moved when they heard this.

Because they knew in their hearts that every word Xin Amber said could no longer be true.

What’s the point of their stubborn resistance here?

The final result is not the same, at the end of the day, that’s all

.

“Xin Amber, I am also willing to pay the land tax, but the cash may not be enough, and it will take some time. But don’t worry, Xin Amber, I will definitely pay the land tax!”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

If someone takes the lead, things will be much easier to handle later on.

All they were holding on to was one breath. Now that Mr. Zhou Ge was carried away, their breath was gone.

Coupled with Xin Amber’s coercion and inducement, what can these lowly and powerful people say?

It’s nothing more than acceptance.

There was a lot of excitement, and in the end nearly two-thirds of the gentry chose to compromise.

Even so, the remaining two-thirds of the gentry chose a very unwise way – to resist stubbornly.

They still maintained a sense of luck, thinking that Fang Xiu had no way to do anything to them.

In Fang Xiu’s opinion, this is the joke within a joke.

If I don’t act a little more serious, these guys might really think of me as a HELLO cat.

“Come here, take them away!”

With an order, the soldiers swarmed forward.

No matter how much they shouted, they turned a blind eye. They were all put into carriages and sent to the Yamen.

It was said to be a carriage, but it looked more like a prison carriage. Along the way, countless people pointed at it.

Many bad guys who didn’t know what was going on threw all kinds of rotten eggs.

The two-thirds of the gentry who chose to compromise felt happy when they heard about this incident after leaving the Zhou Mansion.

Fortunately, fortunately, I made the right choice.

“Sir, with so many gentry in jail, I’m afraid there won’t be enough for them.”

In the government office, Li Jing looked at the gentry, hesitantly, and said.

Fang Xiu glanced at him and asked: “I have seen the dungeon of Linze Mansion and it is enough.

All the original prisoners were escorted to other state capitals. From now on, Linze Mansion will only entertain gentry.”

At this point, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Li Jing and added: “By the way, I will give them a cup of tea every day. I have said that you are invited to drink tea. Do you understand?”

When Li Jing heard this, he immediately Understanding, he nodded hurriedly: “I understand, I understand!”

“Is there any news over there in the capital?”

Fang Xiu asked casually, sitting on a chair, looking at the piles of documents in front of him.

Li Jing hurriedly replied: “Reporting to your lord, I heard that you were mentioned several times in court meetings, as well as the policy of unifying land and Ding in the Central Plains Road. Civil and military officials, scholar-bureaucrats, ministers and nobles were all quarreling. In the end, it was still There is no result.”

Fang Xiu glanced at him, he looked hesitant, and added: “At present, your Majesty has not expressed his position, but most of the ministers are opposed to the method of unifying the land and the Ding

. , do you think we should leave some escape route for ourselves? “

Bang——!

Fang Xiu slammed the table, glared at Li Jing, and cursed: “I ask you, why do you do things and who do you do them for?”

Li Jing was startled and replied hurriedly: “For your Majesty and for the people of the world. , and for you, Major General.” When

Fang Xiu heard this, his expression softened a little, and he said calmly: “But do good things

without worrying about the future.

Opposition, or support by the ministers, do you understand?”

When Li Jing heard this, his eyes changed when he looked at Fang Xiu, and the original awe on his face turned into reverence.

He was a Qiu Ba and didn’t understand any big principles, but the words ‘Since you think this is right, you must stick to it’ spoke to his heart.

“I understand. I was confused just now.”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu.

“Okay, I know everything. This matter ends here. You accompany me out of the city for a walk.”

“Yes, sir!”
