Chapter 517
"This cotton is very important to you?" Ye Sanniang said, looking directly at Master Lu with her deep black eyes.

"Yes! It's very important." Lord Lu met her dark pupils and said frankly, "But now that the farmer doesn't sell it, I really have nothing to do." He cupped his hands and said, "And the gentlemen in the hall Having said that, the government must not compete with the people for profit!"

Ye Sanniang gritted her molars and slandered in her heart: You mustn't compete with the people for profit!

"You are the magistrate!" Ye Yanxing looked at Master Lu in disbelief and said, "If you say one, no one will dare to say otherwise!"

"What should I say about this?" Lord Lu pursed his lips and looked at them and said, "The north has been controlled by foreign races for many years..." He gave them a look that you understand.

But how do Ye Yanxing and his brothers understand it!
"The integration of the north and the south is not something that happens overnight." Ye Sanniang said as she looked at him with dark eyes like ink.

Master Lu looked at her with a bright smile on his face and said, "That's right."

"Can you screen back?" Ye Sanniang said as she looked at him with eyes as dark as ink under her brows.

"Yes!" Master Lu summoned the guards and asked all the people in the second hall to evacuate.

"Lord Lu just said to compete with the people for profit? Who do you understand the people are referring to?" Ye Sanniang looked at him with eyes as black as ink and asked.

"Of course it's the people of the world." Lord Lu said without thinking.

Ye Sanniang pursed her lips tightly and nodded, leaning back on the chair back, "The foundation of the people is the cornerstone of the country. And the people refer to most ordinary people, not high-ranking officials, leeches who lie on the people and suck blood." .”

"Aren't your words biased?" Master Lu frowned slightly when he heard the words.

"Prejudiced?" Ye Sanniang looked at him with raised eyebrows and said, "Master Lu, you can go and see their family history, which one is clean, and they all came here by stepping on other people's blood. It is full of robbery." Robbery, taking advantage of the fire."

"When we first arrived in Hedong Village, Song Daguan had a bad reputation because his mother had just been released from prison. The tenant farmers were unwilling to harvest sorghum. Song Daguan proposed that my family's 500 mu of land would only be given [-] taels of silver." Ye Yanxing He looked at Master Lu with clear black eyes and said.

"This is blatantly taking advantage of the fire!" Lord Lu looked at her with a dark face and said, "Why didn't you say it that day?"

"Let's not talk about this, it's all right now. I didn't sell it to him." Ye Sanniang looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Let's get down to business, the number of acres in the field is definitely a symbol of power."

"That's right! All wealth comes from the soil." Mr. Lu looked at her calmly and said.

"It's hard for an ordinary farmer to become a landlord through hard work." Ye Sanniang said, raising her hand.

"It would be good if we can solve food and clothing simply by relying on our hands." Master Lu said frankly.

"It's not difficult to make money in this world." Ye Sanniang looked at him with clear eyes and said, "It's not bad to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life with your face on the loess and your back to the sky."

"There is no idle land in the world, and the farmers are still starving to death." Ye Luoxing said, looking at Master Lu with flickering eyes.

"A natural disaster or a man-made disaster is a good opportunity for them to take advantage of it." Ye Sanniang said with cold eyes. I also have to be grateful to Song Daguan for timely rain and rescue of the Bodhisattva. Otherwise, the peasants would have to sell their fields and land, and sell their sons and daughters."

"Hiss..." Master Lu gasped with a pale face, feeling like he was enlightened.

Ye Sanniang looked at him with warmth in her eyes and said, "It seems that Mr. Lu has a deep understanding."

"I'm also a cowherd. What you said is that you not only saw it with your own eyes, but also experienced it yourself." Mr. Lu looked at her with deep dark eyes and said, "I once wondered why the whole family was so exhausted all year round. I can’t eat a bite of white flour steamed buns.” Suddenly realized, “It turns out that the landlord made it bad.” He said with a dark face, “I was so stupid, and I am grateful to the landlord for saving my life!”

"It's not too late to understand now!" Ye Sanniang looked at him with deep and bright eyes and said, "As a parent and official, make decisions for the people. Let the peasants have something to rely on in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, so that they will not be sold out. Foolishly grateful to count money for others."

"It's easy to look up their family history. The government office has registered land holdings. Just check the changes in the land deed." Master Lu said simply and briskly.

"Can you still call them people?" Ye Sanniang said, looking at him sharply.

"That's good too! You can't overturn a boat of people with one shot." Master Lu hesitated for a moment and looked at her and said.

"You can find out that it's very difficult." Ye Sanniang raised her eyebrows lightly and revealed her deep black pupils, "I don't think there are any, but there are very few law-abiding ones, and most of them eat at both ends."

"I'll check." Lord Lu looked at her seriously and said, pursed his lips and looked at her and said, "Then you want to get rid of the peasants!"

"Jump out of the farm, obtain fame, and become a scholar-official class." Ye Sanniang said as she heard this and looked at him with flickering black eyes.

"The imperial examination is a serious official career." Mr. Lu said as he looked at her with bright eyes.

"Yes!" Ye Sanniang nodded slightly when she heard the words, "If you only take the Juren examination, you have already stepped out of the farm gate. You don't kneel when you see officials, and you are exempted from taxes. Many people come to contribute. This is legitimate and legal. It is legal to bear the obligation of paying taxes." , you can reasonably avoid tax, but you cannot deliberately evade tax, that is a crime.”

"Uh..." Master Lu looked at her hesitantly and said, "The reward for studying hard in the cold window, it should be, with these rights, the barriers of the noble family were broken." Then he said, "Count forward Dynasty, even more difficult!"

"But ordinary people have been kept out of the door." Ye Sanniang looked at him with clear and penetrating eyes and said, "The so-called children from poor families also have a word for family. In the past when the concept of family status was strong, the status of poor families corresponded It is just a common family with a lower status than the gentry. Compared with the poor family, they should be peasants, poor children, and proletarians. They can’t even afford books, so what about fame and fortune! Can’t wear it, many farmers have worn a shabby clothes for generations, dead relatives in their own family don’t have a piece of thin pipe, the straw mat is buried in the soil for safety, and they don’t have mourning clothes...” Taking a deep breath, they said, “And they are from generation to generation The generation faces the loess and their backs to the sky, farming until the last moment of their lives. And they are the majority of people! They are all sentient beings!"

"They are the people, Shengdou people!" Ye Sanniang's voice was as thin as snow, knocking on Master Lu's eardrum.

"Uh..." Mr. Lu was speechless.

 Sorry, sorry I got busy and forgot.
