Chapter 65 Salary from the bottom of the pot!
The white-bearded old man saw Zhang Qizhong's face and smiled again, "Look at that side again."
Following the finger of the white-bearded old man, the sign erected there reads the Great Song Weekly.
"I just asked about the situation on site. The actual situation of this inquiry meeting will be published in the Song Dynasty Weekly, and will be witnessed by the people of the world."
The white-bearded old man Wu smiled.
Zhang Qizhong said angrily: "Those are all the mouthpieces of the court, why do you believe them!"
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "I don't believe in them, but the times have changed!
Your Zhang family is a big landlord in Chenliu County. You naturally pay attention to your land and support the Zhang family's blessings. But we small landlords, if you want to live or survive, you can only do some small business.
Over the years, Ouyang Bian Ouyang has taken us to do business and get rich. Haha, my Wu family has bought more than a dozen stores in Xihu City. In Xihu City, my Wu family sells rouge and water powder. The benefits are no more than the hard money collected by tenants. I may not be afraid of worrying about disasters and famines.
Now Lord Ouyang is going to develop the north, and the north is going to start upgrading the official cement road. My Wu family has already negotiated with the West Lake City Engineering Company to supply a batch of building materials. Compared with that, what is the small profit of this little land?”
Mr. Wu looked proud of his wise beads.
The others were also happy.
"Old Wu is amazing, but my Li family is still alive. The supply of grain and vegetables for the construction team in Chenliu County was contracted by my Li family. Hey, it is not as good as the big head of Mr. Wu."
"The Li family of Wu is worthy of being a commercial giant in Chenliu County. My Chen family is not good at it. I only received a batch of work clothes orders. Unfortunately, it's a pity that only has the work clothes of the Eighth Engineering Department, and the quantity is still too small."
Old Wu looked surprised: "The work clothes of the entire Eighth Engineering Department?"
The Chen family looked modest: "Oh, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
Now Mr. Wu and the people from the Li family showed jealous expressions.
"You old Chen is not hiding it. The official road in the north is upgraded, and that is the contract of the Eighth Engineering Department. It is a project of five or six roads. The Eighth Engineering Department must not have hundreds of thousands of people? Hiss!"
Old Chen smiled proudly: "Oh, it's not worth mentioning, isn't my kid following Lord Ouyang?
Oh, it’s just inside the Banking Regulatory Commission, but I have met Lord Ouyang several times.
Last time I went to Mr. Ouyang’s wedding, and my kid happened to go there too.
My boy introduced me to Mr. Jiang Rucheng and Mr. Jiang to me.
Mr. Jiang was so enthusiastic. I heard that I opened a clothing factory myself and had to give me the work clothes order. Oh, love, love!"
Mr. Wu and other landlords immediately felt awe.
Mr. Wu admired: "The Chen family has produced talents and can enter the banking supervision guard. Your Chen family is probably going to take shape. Oh, by the way, Old Chen, your kid is not married yet, right?"
Old Chen shook his head: "That boy, why did the Huns be destroyed? He is a small banking guard who cares about the Huns. Moreover, where to find the Huns now?"
Mr. Wu stroked his white beard and said, "Old Chen, my youngest daughter is now at the age of getting married this year. Why don't we pick up a family?"
Old Chen was moved: "That's a great thing. Let's arrange some time to talk in detail?"
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Let's go, go to my house now!"
Old Chen laughed: "Let's go, go now!"
The others laughed and said, "Great good thing, let's go and have a drink!"
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go together!"
A large group of people left one after another, leaving only Zhang Qizhong with a gray face.
The landlords left one after another, and the farmers also took the publicity materials and retreated one after another.
Zhang Qizhong also quickly left quietly with his people, so as not to stay on the scene too eye-catching.
The county government siege was solved by a trick of inquiry.
Lu Huiqing immediately arranged for someone to send a message to the capital.
Ouyang Bian received the news in the evening, and the government was filled with joy.
After reading it, Ouyang Bian just smiled slightly.
Zeng Bu was a little confused: "Ji Mo, why are you so calm? This is a great thing, which means that our plan has been successful."
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Of course it's a great thing. Our righteousness has been established, but the real test is coming."
Zeng Bu said in surprise: "You mean, they may use violence?"
Ouyang Bian shook his head gently: "I don't know either, but there is a great possibility.
I have used various orders to comfort other landlords in Chenliu County.
But the Zhang family is different, the Zhang family relies on the fields.
They are the largest landlords in Chenliu County, and the hidden land may be several times that of their registered land.
If these lands have to be paid taxes, it will definitely hurt them, so they will definitely not give up easily.
We have already gained the upper hand in public opinion, but they may be anxious and have a very high possibility of going shirtless!"
Zeng Bu and others looked solemn.
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Please come over."
Zeng Gong arrived in a hurry.
"Brother Zigu, have the materials received?" Ouyang Bian asked.
Zeng Gong smiled: "Ji Mo's move is indeed amazing. Without a single soldier, the siege of Chenliu County was solved like this."
Ouyang Bian smiled: "Then you should publish the manuscript quickly, so that everyone in the world can see it."
Zeng Gong said: "How many days will the next weekly report be published."
Ouyang Bian nodded: "Just make a special issue of Qingzhangtianmu, and write down the whole story of Lu Huiqing and others' rescue this time in detail. Also, have you obtained the interview manuscripts of those landlords?"
Zeng Gong nodded: "I have already obtained it, but I can make up a special issue."
Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile: "That's good. Take the time to publish it quickly and form public opinion as soon as possible. Next, we need to carry out a substantial clearance. That will be a tough battle!"
Zeng Gong was shocked and said: "There are still twists and turns?"
Ouyang Bian's expression became indifferent: "Don't overestimate human nature. Some people will not be afraid if they don't pick them up."
Zeng Gong nodded and seized the time to arrange it.
Ouyang Bian returned to his own government office and brewed a pot of tea. The tea smelled cold. This was the mountain rock tea, and it felt refreshing when drinking it.
He closed his eyes slightly, reviewing the matter of clearing the land and seeing what else he hadn't thought of yet.
This time, the poor and lower-middle peasants were removed, and the small and medium-sized landlords were removed with commercial interests, exposing the Zhang family, and using public opinion to push the matter to a moral commanding height that had to be enforced.
When things have reached this level, they have already been considered complete.
It can be said that you have done everything you should do and done what you shouldn’t do. The next step may be the most critical step left.
