"What does he want to do?"
"Distribute the Du family's land to those untouchables?"
"Is he crazy or are we crazy?"
When Li Zhao's announcement was released, the first people to be shocked were the powerful families in Longyang Township and Jinyun Township.
They are incomprehensible, unbelievable, and unacceptable.
In this life, there is nothing more than money, power, and land.
Since you, King You, have occupied the Du family's land by some means, you should make good use of it and give it to the untouchables for what purpose?
No matter how much he dislikes Li Zhao, this guy is still a member of the powerful class.
But now, Li Zhao's approach directly encountered everyone's disapproval.
The status of land is equal to that of money and rights. Does Li Zhao want to imitate the monarch's reward by rewarding land here?
Of course, what shocked and dissatisfied everyone was the terrible consequences of what Li Zhao did.
Although Li Zhao's influence is gradually expanding today, many people still don't know about it.
The day when the tools are truly free will be the time when Li Zhao’s reputation explodes.
If Li Zhao grants land at this time, it will be equivalent to winning over all the people's hearts and minds.
Once a precedent is set for rewarding land, it will be difficult for everyone in the future. How can we invade people's fields?
How to exploit people?
Because although Li Zhao's actions touched on class interests, his mass base of support was quite solid.
Except for a few villages such as Doujia Village, almost all of them are on Li Zhao's side.
Everyone agreed that whatever Li Zhao said would happen.
After the last crisis of trust, everyone now has unconditional trust in Li Zhao.
Even if they have doubts in their hearts, they will not say it, let alone show it.
Unless Li Zhaozhen has been convicted or sentenced to death, they will not change sides again.
This resulted in that when Li Zhao issued the decree, it was implemented directly into every household with almost no obstacles.
Just when all the nobles were still angry that Li Zhao stabbed the powerful class in the back, another shocking news broke.
King You Li Zhao called on all the people not to plow the land, leaving the harvested rice fields abandoned like this!
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
In less than a day, the news had spread from the countryside to Qingyun County, and then quickly to Hailong County.
None of the local dignitaries in Jiaozhou went back and couldn't help but shake their heads after hearing the news.
"I really don't understand King You's behavior."
"I admit that King You has amazing talents and attainments in the business world and the Mohist family, but when it comes to farming... I don't agree."
"Since ancient times, spring plowing and autumn harvest have been the rule. The grain has been harvested, and it is necessary to dig and plow the land. But he chose not to do it. What's the reason?"
As soon as this news came out, it caused great discussion.
Although everyone is doing business with Li Zhao, everyone is suspicious and questioning.
However, the matter is not over yet.
Just when everyone couldn't understand Li Zhao's operation, new news came out.
"What? The reason for not plowing the land is to cultivate rice? Is he out of his mind?"
"Hehehe... The ears of rice have been cut. How can rice still grow on the bare rice stalks?"
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"
"King You is so smart for a lifetime, but confused for a moment."
"What a pity. I used to think that he was also a genius in agriculture. Now it seems that he is just lucky."
The three pieces of news were superimposed, causing doubts and uproar throughout Jiaozhou.
This is more subversive than the threshing machine.
At least, in all their years of farming, they have never heard of an example of crops growing again after being harvested.
"This...can this grow?" Everyone in Qianjiazhuang murmured.
Qian Daqiang slapped him angrily and shouted, "What? Are you trying to cause trouble again?"
The village chief was angry and his eyes looked fierce.
After Qian Genmiao and the others were defeated, Village Chief Qian finally stopped letting everyone do whatever they wanted.
He showed the majesty and dominance of his youth, and his whole person became extraordinarily different.
Although Qianjiazhuang betrayed Li Zhao, he still had to make a living here.
Unless they leave Jiaozhou.
But, is this possible?
Since you can't leave, just be obedient.
Qianjiazhuang has already made everyone disgusted and disgusted, but now it is going against the grain. Even the gods can't save it.
"That's right. Your Highness, isn't this nonsense?"
Someone muttered in a low voice, enjoying themselves for a while.
Unexpectedly, Qian Daqiang, the old village chief, raised the crutch in his hand and started using it without saying a word.
With a snap, he knocked the man to the ground. Several of his teeth fell out, and blood spewed out of his mouth.
Everyone in Qianjiazhuang was shocked. They really didn't expect that the old village chief would take action.
"You still dare to talk nonsense?" Qian Daqiang pointed the crutch in his hand at the man who had just had fun talking, and said: "From today on, don't let this old man hear such nonsense. This is the first and last time!"
"If you don't want to die, just shut your mouth."
"Even if you are the village chief, you can't beat people randomly..." the man who was slapped with a cane said angrily.
Qian Daqiang swept over coldly and said: "Here comes someone!"
Qian Daqiang's prestige has always been there, but in order to cultivate his grandson Qian Genmiao, he delegated power and ignored things.
Nowadays, everyone thinks that he is old and no longer useful.
As everyone knows, most people in Qianjiazhuang still listen to him.
"Break his legs!" Qian Daqiang ordered coldly: "If he dares to say one more word, I will expel the whole family!"
As soon as these words came out, Qian Xiaohong's parents were frightened. They knelt down and kowtowed, and protected Qian Xiaohong, pleading: "Village chief, Xiaohong is not sensible, he is still a child..."
"Hit!" Qian Daqiang shouted sternly without talking nonsense.
Qian Xiaohong looked horrified. She didn't expect that the usually kind village chief grandfather would have such a vicious side.
She was just unconvinced just now, not really making trouble.
But she really didn't expect that being drunk would cause such great harm.
"ah--"
Qian Xiaohong screamed, and the pain in her legs made her scratch her heart and lungs.
"I'll say it again, and it will only be the last time." Qian Daqiang looked around at the villagers and said: "First, we are not allowed to curse King You openly or secretly. Anyone caught by the old man will have his legs broken and be driven out of the village!"
"Second, from now on, as long as I am not dead, I will not allow anyone to make trouble again, otherwise they will all be kicked out."
"Third, the orders issued by His Highness King You are not allowed to be questioned. If anyone doesn't want to follow them, they can get out!"
"But……"
"No buts!" Qian Daqiang roared, his voice a little hysterical, and his eyes seemed to be cannibalistic: "Do you still want to live? Do you still want your children and grandchildren to enjoy happiness?"
"Think!" Everyone gritted their teeth.
"Shut up if you think so!" Qian Daqiang's chest heaved violently: "We have already taken a wrong step. Now that His Highness Youwang has not blocked us, he has been extra merciful. We can't make any more mistakes. Do you understand?"
