"He has already argued with the county officials over the land allocation and boycotted our Tiger-Character Banner's land allocation policy," Yang Jiachen said.
Qin Guangchun said: "Since he is a person who resists the land distribution policy, we cannot keep him. County Lord, I think we should deal with this person first. First, let the big squires in Lingqiu understand our determination to divide the land in the Tiger Character Banner." , Secondly, this person owns a large amount of land, and as long as we deal with him, we will get the land in his hands."
"The key is to have evidence. We can't arrest people randomly without evidence, otherwise the credibility of the Tiger Flag in Lingqiu will be lost, and the problem will become even bigger." Huang Shi'an said worriedly.
At this time, Yang Jiachen answered: "Please give me two days, the county magistrate. I will definitely find conclusive evidence that Wang Shuochen embezzled the property of the Xu Yang and Li families."
"Okay, I'll give you two days. As long as I can find evidence that Wang Shuochen embezzled the property of three families that should have been confiscated, I will agree to arrest him." Huang Shi'an said to Yang Jiachen.
"Yes." Yang Jiachen nodded solemnly.
From the first meeting, he had a bad impression of Wang Shuochen. Now Wang Shuochen has become a stumbling block that hinders their Tiger Character Banner's administration of Lingqiu, and he will naturally be moved away.
Huang Shi'an looked at the people on the seats and said: "In order for the land distribution to proceed smoothly, I plan to divide Lingqiu into three towns, namely Dongshan Tiechang, Xujiazhuang, and Hutou Village. These three towns will be divided into three towns. The three town centers will divide the fields in the surrounding areas, and then except for a few of you who will stay in the county government, everyone else will enter these three towns to serve."
"We listen to the county magistrate." Qin Guangchun took the lead and said.
Others nodded and spoke in support.
Huang Shi'an said: "It's been a tiring journey all the way. You go back and rest first. I will appoint the mayor and other positions of the town tomorrow."
"The accommodation has been arranged. When I went out before, I also had people prepare meals. It should be almost ready by now. Otherwise, go to eat first and go back to rest after eating." Yang Jiachen said.
Accompanied by Huang Shian, the group went to the dining room.
However, the dining room was too small to accommodate so many people eating together, so tables were set up in two adjacent rooms to accommodate these people.
So many people from the Tiger Flag suddenly came to the county government office, and the news spread quickly.
Although Wang Shuochen was already the most powerful squire in Lingqiu City, because he got up so quickly, there were not many of his people in the county government office, and there were not many sources of information about the county government office.
However, Xing Dachun is different.
He had been in charge of the Lingqiu County Yamen for many years. It was obvious that no one in the Yamen knew him. Although he was no longer in the Yamen, there were still many Yamen officials who would take the initiative to pass on news from the Yamen to him.
Not long after the people from Tiger Character Banner arrived at the county government office, Xing Dachun informed Wang Shuochen of the news.
"Boss Wang, it seems that the tiger-character flag is serious about dividing the fields. Otherwise, there would not be so many people coming to Lingqiu. We must hurry up and contact the big families in the city. If it is late, I'm afraid it will be too late." Xing Dachun said to Wang Shuochen said.
He himself knew that the people in Tiger Character Banner did not have a good impression of him. All he could count on was Wang Shuochen, especially because Wang Shuochen secretly embezzled the property of Xu Yang and Li San's family through his hands. It could be said that the two people were tied together.
Once this matter is leaked, he doesn't think Tiger Flag will let him go.
However, he has no regrets about helping Wang Shuochen embezzle three properties. If he had not done so, he might have been sent to the grassland with the rest of the Xu family.
"Didn't I ask you to contact me? Why, no one agrees?" Wang Shuochen frowned.
Xing Dachun said: "The villain contacted several companies, and none of them objected. However, they were all afraid of the power of the Tiger Flag and did not dare to confront Huang Shi'an and others in the county government."
"A bunch of idiots, their family property is about to be taken away by others, and they are afraid of this and that. They deserve to have their property taken away by those poor tenants in the future." Wang Shuochen said bitterly.
Xing Dachun said: "The top priority is not to worry about these things, but to think about how to prevent people like Huang Shi'an from dividing the land. I think that Mr. Wang, you should come forward and give some confidence to the gentry in Lingqiu City."
"How can I give them confidence? The division of land is their own business. If they fail to live up to their expectations and lose the land left by their ancestors, who can blame them." Wang Shuochen snorted coldly.
Obviously unwilling to take the lead.
"This is not the time to get angry with these people. Once Huang Shi'an and the others divide the land of these large families, the land of your family, Boss Wang, will not be preserved. If there are other ways to prevent Huang Shi'an and the others from dividing the land, the villain will not let it. You come and take charge of this." Xing Dachun persuaded.
Wang Shuochen hesitated for a moment and said: "The Tiger Character Banner has left a team of several hundred people in the city. What if I come forward and attract this team to attack the Wang family?"
"There is a saying that the law does not blame the public. As long as the vast majority of the big households in the city do not agree to allocate their fields, Huang Shi'an will never dare to risk the disapproval of the world and forcefully allocate the fields. Otherwise, the tiger-character flag will not be able to collect taxes. He cannot just We rely on robbing to maintain our army," Xing Dachun said.
Wang Shuochen said: "Are you sure that the Tiger Flag soldiers in the city will not take action?"
"I definitely won't take action, and each family also has a lot of servants and thugs. The total number is no more than the Tiger Flag soldiers in the city. If we really do take action, it's not sure who will deal with who." Xing Dachun advised. .
Wang Shuochen looked hesitant, unable to make up his mind.
Xing Dachun said with certainty: "Nothing will happen. If nothing is done, something will happen. Huang Shi'an and the others will never let go of the Wang family's property. They might even do something even more outrageous. Even the Dongshan Iron Works will be taken over." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's contact the big households in Lingqiu City and fight against the land allocation together." Wang Shuochen pressed the palm of his right hand hard on the table.
When Xing Dachun saw that the other party agreed, he smiled and said: "Leave it to me to contact the big families in Lingqiu City. I believe that as soon as the news that the county government distributes their property gets out, these big families themselves will join forces to fight against the government. "
"These are the properties that each family has worked hard to save for generations. We must not let Huang Shi'an take them away in vain." Wang Shuochen said fiercely.
Xing Dachun said with a smile: "Proprietor Wang, don't worry, as long as big businesses like us join hands, no matter how great Huang Shian is, he won't be able to make trouble."
He was full of confidence in the countermeasures to divide the land against the Yamen.
Because big families like them are the foundation of a place, and now that Wang Shuochen, a person whom the Tiger Flag values, is standing in front of them, Huang Shi'an can't even think about dividing the land of each family.
Just when Xing Dachun went to contact the wealthy families in Lingqiu City on behalf of Wang Shuochen, two four-wheeled carts from the Tiger Flag entered Lingqiu City.
The two four-wheeled carts that entered the city were the same as the carts that Huang Shi'an and his companions were riding in. They were carts specially used to pull people. They had carriages on them, so people could sit inside without having to worry about being exposed to wind or rain.
