Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

June 27, the third year of Tianqi, was the day when Lu Yu was going to meet with a group of wealthy businessmen and landlords in Baodi County.

Yu Yonglu got up early today, and at the end of the day, he had someone prepare a sedan chair and take it to the gate of the government office.

"Mr. Yu, today, all our brothers are looking at you!"

"Mr. Yu, what happens to Baodi County in the future depends entirely on today!"

"Then what is the Parliament? Will the Emperor ever take the stage again?"

"Today, we all follow Mr. Yu's lead!"

As soon as Xu Yonglu arrived at the door, the heads of other family clans in the county came up to talk to him.

Between words, there is an attitude of reliance and wait-and-see.

Without him, everyone wants to wait and see for a while before talking.

In any case, the Yu family is indeed the wealthiest family in Baodi County.

If Lu Yu wants to operate on someone, the Yu family will never be able to escape!

Looking at the landlords who usually make money in peace, but who hide faster than anyone else when something happens, Yu Yonglu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Don't panic, everyone! You want me to express my position? Then someone and I are right here!"

Yu Yonglu stretched out his hand, pointed at the plaque of the government office, and said loudly: "Speak at the gate of the government office in Baodi County!"

Yu Yonglu's voice almost attracted everyone's attention.

People want to hear what the most luxurious family in Baodi County thinks of today's events!

What do you think of Parliament?

At this time, someone in the backyard of the government office reported the matter to Lu Yu.

"Oh?" Lu Yu, who was sitting in the backyard study practicing calligraphy, adjusted his sleeves and said with interest: "Continue to explore, I would like to hear, what are the opinions of this remaining member?"

Yu Yonglu looked around, and saw that everyone was surrounded by crows, and there were also people in the government office looking here. The effect he wanted had been achieved.

Cough cough cough.

After coughing three times, Yu Yonglu said: "Today, here, in the history of Baodi County for more than 200 years, we ushered in the most important moment in history! We ushered in the senior members of the parliament. The attention of the high officials has ushered in the reform that is most popular among the people, ushered in the disappearance of the acres of land in the imperial village, and ushered in the great division of land by dice!"

"We, as a member of Baodi County, have been here for generations in Baodi County for more than 200 years. At this time, we should make a little contribution to Baodi County!"

Yu Yonglu almost exhausted all his strength and shouted loudly at the gate of the government office.

He not only wanted the onlookers to hear it, but most importantly, he wanted Lu Yu, one of the seven major congressmen in Beijing, to hear it.

At this moment, in the backyard, Yu Yonglu's words had reached Lu Yu's ears intact.

"Hey," Lu Yu put down the brush, raised her head, looked at the booklet at hand, which contained details of the land and property of large households in Baodi County, and smiled softly: "It's interesting! Keep exploring."

At the entrance of the government office, Yu Yonglu continued to perform hard: "Today, in order to express the Yu family's sincerity and strong support for reform!"

"I, Yu Yonglu solemnly promises! First, take out all the acres of the Yu family's land except the ancestral land, totaling 107 hectares, and hand them over to the parliament! The parliament will make unified arrangements and handle them. Whatever the Yu family needs to do, they will never refuse! "

At the entrance of the government office, a group of landlords and members were looking at Yu Yonglu, as if they were meeting the contemporary head of the Yu family for the first time.

When did Yu Yonglu become so generous?

Such a ‘profound understanding of righteousness’?

At the end of the speech, Yu Yonglu even shouted hoarse and punched his fist: "The Yu family will always be a staunch supporter of the Great House! In a word, if the House asks the Yu family to go west, the Yu family will never look east! The Parliament will always First!!!”

? ? ? ?

The whole entrance of the government office was completely silent at the moment, and everyone's jaws dropped in shock. Today's performance by the head of the Yu family, Yu Yonglu, will definitely spread throughout Baodi County within an hour, and even in other counties and towns, many people's jaws will be shocked!

Seeing this scene, everyone can only think, when did the Xu family join the parliament?

And how much benefit did the council give to the Xu family?

"Good! What a staunch supporter! What a parliament first!"

Bang bang bang, clapping her hands gently, Lu Yu, wearing a blue brocade robe, walked out of the government office.

"Meet the Great Councilor!"

Everyone at the door bowed, without exception, all with trepidation.

This man can really kill people!

No matter who sees it, they should shake it!

And Yu Yonglu was kneeling at the front, and he was the most nervous at this time.

His impassioned speech was just to attract Lu Yu and give him a good first impression. It would be safe to present the Yu family's gift later!

But the only problem is, Yu Yonglu doesn’t know if Lu Yu will do this?

"Your name is Yu Yonglu?" Lu Yu, who lowered her head and looked down at Yu Yonglu, spoke softly.

"Little Yu Yonglu, pay homage to the great councilor!!!" With a plop, he bowed again.

"Yes, if you work for the parliament, the parliament will not treat you badly." Lu Yu walked down the steps, bent down and personally helped Yu Yonglu up, and said to the crowd: "This kind of person is what the parliament needs!"

Blah blah blah! ! !

What followed was thunderous applause - at this time, anyone who did not applaud was opposing the parliament!

Since Duke Guo of Qi invented applause in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, this gesture of cheering and encouragement has quickly spread throughout the capital and become popular everywhere.

"Everyone, come into the palace and let's talk about business!" After saying this, Lu Yu made an invitation gesture and then walked away.

Later, Yu Yonglu followed closely.

Immediately afterwards, everyone stepped forward one after another, fearing that they would fall behind and make people talk.

Not long after, everyone took their seats in the front meeting hall.

"Come here today and have a casual chat. Don't be nervous!" Lu Yu leaned on the chair, looking very casual, and said while rubbing her hands: "Before coming, this congressman heard that there are many wealthy households in Baodi County. Yesterday When I checked the account books, I realized that what I said was true!"

"There are twelve households with more than thirty thousand taels of wealth, seven households with more than one hundred thousand taels, and one household with more than three hundred thousand taels." Rubbing his hands, Lu Yu shook his head and said, "These It’s such a pity that the money is lying there with you, buried underground!”

Hearing Lu Yu's words, all the landowners and wealthy households in the hall were speechless: Why is it such a pity for us here? Isn’t it what we have earned through hard work? What, are you trying to steal it openly?

"Sir, Congressman," as soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, Yu Yonglu, who was sitting next to Lu Yu, said, "The Yu family is willing to be a pioneer! Three hundred thousand taels, give it immediately!!!"

"Hey!!!" Lu Yu immediately said righteously: "No, absolutely no, the parliament has already taken over one hundred acres of your land, why is it still embarrassed to ask for your money?"

"The Yu family's money belongs to the parliament! Yu understands this truth!" Yu Yonglu stood up and bowed: "Yu is willing to make some contribution to the preparations for the establishment of the parliament, three hundred thousand taels of silver! Use it as the main hall of the parliament!"

hiss.

Three hundred thousand?

There was a gasp in the hall.

On the one hand, I was surprised by Yu Yonglu’s determination to cut off his wrist!

On the other hand, I was surprised by Lu Yu's well-informed news.

Because everyone here understands that this number is exactly all the money that the Yu family can mobilize. (End of chapter)
