Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 12 My family, don't be afraid!
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Guo An chuckled again and added the last fire.

"You elders have experienced so many things in the world, and you should also understand that everything should be done sooner rather than later.

No matter how good the field is, only if it is tightly held in your own hands can it be your own field and pass it on to your descendants smoothly.

Otherwise, as long as there is any accident, outsiders occupy these fields, and your family will lose tens of acres, or even hundreds of acres of good land!

Well, decades later.

When the little grandchildren in your family grow up and want to marry wives and have children, will the dozens of acres of land in your family be enough to support those grandchildren?
By then, what will you do? ..."

The complexions of the head of food and the head of the village began to change, and they nodded subconsciously.

"What the county lord said is absolutely true!"

"Those high-quality wastelands on both sides of the river must be reclaimed as their own fields as soon as possible!"

"I've been taking care of it for so many years, and I must not make it to the end, and make it easier for outsiders!"

"Thank you for the reminder, County Lord!"

Although they could suppress the people in Geli and Jiajia, they would not allow those people to reclaim the wasteland they had already hoped for.

However, they cannot guard against outsiders!

fuckin'...

"Everyone finally understands!"

Seeing these "local overlords" in various armors finally listen to his words, Guo An showed a sincere smile on his face.

"Elders, don't be so unwilling. You must know that this time, His Royal Highness King Yan ordered all the people in my Beiping mansion to reclaim wasteland on a large scale. In this way, no matter how you reclaim the wasteland, it is justified.

Moreover, as long as you all actively mobilize the people in your respective Jiali to cultivate together, you are actively responding to His Highness King Yan's decree.

This will definitely make His Royal Highness King Yan happy.

Then, if you accompany me and take this opportunity to ask His Royal Highness King Yan for some farm tools, or cattle, or borrow some grain, you may even be exempted from the two-year average service and helpers..."

Following Guo An's words, the eyes of all the food chiefs and village chiefs became wider and wider.

The look is getting more and more happy!

"Xianzun, can I still do this?"

"It depends on people's efforts. If you don't try such a good opportunity, you will know if it will work? It's a big deal, I didn't borrow anything! But, everyone, think about the character of His Royal Highness Yan..."

"Yes, yes, no matter what the result is, this matter will not do any harm to us!"

"Old man Ding, how did you become like this? As the county lord said, we are the first county to respond to His Royal Highness King Yan. How can a bold person like King Yan not give me something sweet?"

"Hmph, this time the bandit officer Guo Huan was arrested, the imperial court won't know how much benefit he got back, and the Beiping Mansion will definitely not be short of military rations and property within two years."

"If His Royal Highness King Yan really... I'll wait for these old guys to finish their morning classes every day, and then squat in front of the Yanwang Palace next door..."

A group of kind and simple old men whose hair was starting to turn gray were very proficient in talking about this treasonous thing.

Hearing this, Guo An's face on the side changed slightly, and he was a little pale, and quickly stopped him with a look of panic: "Elders, don't talk nonsense! We are all simple and kind people, how can we talk about the important affairs of the court like this , not to mention the king at will!"

"You don't have to be so careful, the hall is full of your own family members, except you and me, it's the yamen servants and clerks in the yamen, they dare to go out and talk nonsense!"

A group of old men laughed and comforted Guo An, and then stared coldly at the group of scribes and government servants standing at the door!
All the scribes and servants in the Wanping County Yamen subconsciously shuddered and laughed flatteringly under the watchful eyes of these half-buried old men.

And a little humble!
They may not be afraid of one or two, or even more than a dozen grain chiefs and li chiefs.

However, there are hundreds of them here, and some of them are elders in their families.

Even if they beat them in the street, they dare not fight back!
Seeing this, a group of food chiefs and village chiefs looked at Guo An triumphantly, and bragged, "Don't worry, the county lord, if these bastards dare not listen to the county lord, the county lord can come and find me, I'm waiting to clean them up!"

"Thank you, elders!"

Guo An hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, but he felt a little weird in his heart.

Shouldn't it be him who said this?
However, none of this matters.

Guo An once again talked with the grain chiefs and village chiefs with a smile on his face for a while. These grain chiefs and village chiefs, who had already been unable to bear it in their hearts, couldn't wait to say goodbye to Guo An under Guo An's signal. , and hurried to their respective armors.

They must speed up the gathering of the young men in the village, divide the wasteland, and step up the reclamation of acres.

"Brother Ding, is this really possible?"

"Hmph, just like what the little county lord said, who can guarantee success or failure?"

"Then you are still so excited in the yamen?"

"Brother Wang, don't you think that what the Guo Xianzun said is very reasonable?"

"It's a little..."

"Naer and others also agree that this time is a great opportunity, the court has money, and the King of Yan wants to reclaim the land, so why don't I take advantage of this and save more wealth for the little ones in the family?
Even if it doesn't work, cultivating the fields is still a great achievement.

Even in the end, if there is any guilt, as the food chief, I can just spend some money to settle the matter! "

"It's because the old man is a little timid..."

……

Wanping County Yamen.

Guo An immediately felt refreshed after sending those food chiefs and village chiefs away.

Sitting in the official chair, I feel happy.

Zhu Laosi, if you don't make me feel better, then I will let you have a good taste of the difficulties of these old men in Jiali!

at the same time.

It was the first time that Guo An caused such a big commotion. Zhu Di also received the news in Yanwang Palace not far from Wanping County Yamen.

"Guo An has been promoted to the county magistrate for so long, and finally started to be promoted to the morning hall. You can find out, this guy is making such a big noise, but what are you going to do?"

On the side, Zhu Fu and Monk Daoyan also looked curious.

"Reporting to Your Highness, it seems that Guozhi County is discussing with the grain chiefs and chiefs of each Jiali, how to reclaim the [-] hectares of land!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Guo An finally thought of something serious!"

"What was the result of their discussion?"

"Your Highness forgives the crime, the county government is the key point, and the brothers under the command are not allowed to enter without reason!" Li Wang reported.

"in this way……"

Zhu Di waved his hand and was about to say something again when he saw Zhu Liang hurried in from the outside with a solemn expression on his face.

"What happened?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the chief envoy of Beiping has had a major incident!"

Zhu Liang hurriedly said, "Early this morning, those magistrates who were transferred from all over the country did not know what kind of guts they had, but they gathered together at the Beiping chief envoy to resist His Highness's decree!"

"what?"

Zhu Di's face immediately sank.

And Monk Daoyan, Zhu Fu and others in the hall also changed their expressions drastically!
