Chapter 486
Soon, Niu Dali brought everyone into the house.

Luo Qing'er and other relatives had already put on silk and knelt on Lin Chang's spiritual throne, weeping unceasingly, and all the adults also came forward to salute and express their condolences.

After the ceremony was over, Lin Yifan asked all the officials to step back and rest for the time being.A few members of the family finally had time alone to worship their uncle.

Afterwards, Lin Yifan told everyone what happened before and after his uncle's death, which made all the girls cry again.

Luo Qing'er held Lin Shuwan's hand tightly, and said to Lin Yifan, "My lord, fortunately, the villagers collected and buried uncle. For such kindness, our family should go to express our thanks."

"Ma'am is right." Lin Yifan nodded in agreement, and immediately led the girls out of the house and came to the villagers.

But at this time, the villagers already knew that the young man in front of them was the Lord, so they dared not make any mistakes. They all knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison: "Xiaomin pays homage to the Lord."

Lin Yifan frowned slightly, sighed, and immediately stepped forward, helped everyone up one by one, and said sincerely: "Folks, what are you doing? I am still the same as before, and I am also from Panlong Village. We used to How to get along, how to get along."

"Yes, yes, what your lord said is true." Everyone responded in unison.

"Still called the Duke of our country?" Lin Yifan lowered his face and slightly emphasized his tone.

The villagers were frightened and stupid, and they didn't know what to do for a while.At this time, the village head finally realized, and immediately shouted: "Everyone is called Yifan, everyone is called Yifan."

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that they hurriedly shouted Yi Fan's name, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Lin Yifan had no choice but to walk up to Luo Qinger and introduce to the villagers: "Folks, this is my wife Luo Qinger, this is my son Lin Gan, and this is my wife Gao Yunyang. As for Lin Shuwan, you guys Do you know each other?"

The villagers hurriedly greeted the wives, then looked at Lin Shuwan, and couldn't help but excitedly praised how smart and cute Lin Shuwan was when she was a child.

Lin Shuwan's originally sad mood was suddenly amused by the words of the villagers, and she slightly saluted the villagers: "Uncles, aunts and aunts. Shuwan is here to thank you, thank you for taking care of my father's funeral."

"You girl, we are all from the same village, so if you say this, you will be out of touch."

"Yeah, Shuwan, your father is so kind to us villagers, we all see it. Now that something happened to him, how can we not help?"

Everyone said one after another, the original restraint suddenly diluted a lot.

At this time, Luo Qing'er and Yun Yang also saluted and thanked everyone.The villagers lost their scruples, and some village women began to chat with the three women one by one.Luo Qing'er and Lin Shuwan were originally from ordinary people, so they could chat naturally.As a princess, Yunyang had never seen the way women in the village spoke, and his face flushed red when he was asked.

After chatting with the villagers, Lin Yifan brought the three of them to his uncle's grave, and paid respects again.

After returning, Lin Yifan asked the three girls to rest quickly.He came to a side hall and summoned all the adults.

Immediately, Lin Yifan told everyone about his plan for Huazhou, hoping that everyone could work together to make up for the omissions.

This time Han Song did not come with the crowd, he still needed to sit in Hengshan with Luo Yi to deal with internal and external affairs.The eight ministers came with most of the officials from the department, and only left some people in Hengshan to assist Han Song in handling government affairs.

After hearing Lin Yifan's words, everyone immediately fell into deep thought. After a long time, Guo Huaili stood up first and said, "My lord, Huazhou must resolutely implement the Hengshan system. If those aristocratic families are not eliminated, Huazhou will never have peace."

"Master Guo's words are too extreme." At this time, Ye Hongyu also stood up and retorted, "My lords, everyone, the Huazhou gentry has been operating here for hundreds of years, and the roots have already been deeply rooted in it. If you take it rashly To eradicate the gentry, I am afraid that Huazhou will cause civil strife, and it is the people who will suffer. I think that targeting the Huazhou gentry should be done slowly. To attract some, attack some, and slowly weaken the power of the Huazhou gentry, so that they We are no longer able to fight against our Hengshan, so this is the best policy."

"Slowly figure it out?" Guo Huaili frowned, looked at Ye Hongyu, and said in a deep voice: "Master Ye, the gentry control countless talents, can't they see your little trick? When they see it, they will see it. When will we be able to completely control Huazhou? It’s better to cut through the chaos now and wipe out the gentry in Huazhou in one fell swoop. After the gentry has been bloodbathed, no one can compete with us.”

"Master Guo, how many lives are you going to sacrifice? What are the consequences of doing this, don't you know?" Ye Hongyu's face changed slightly, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"Temporary sacrifices are exchanged for long-term security, why not?" Guo Huaili's face paled, and he argued forcefully.

"Okay, stop arguing, both of you." Lin Yifan glared at them dissatisfied, and reprimanded, "For the Huazhou gentry, you can't kill them, but you can't make them bigger. Master Ye, your supervisor The Ministry of Official Affairs, in the future, you must be cautious when selecting children from aristocratic families to be officials. You must always monitor their gains and losses in government. Huazhou is doing its best to promote my Hengshan law, so that the people will not be deceived by the gentry. From now on, your task will be very heavy, not only to compete with the Huazhou gentry for public opinion and influence, but also to open schools and vigorously recruit poor scholars."

Ye Hongyu and Guo Huaili bowed immediately after hearing the words.

Lin Yifan turned his attention to Wang Fugui again, "My lord, your Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of household registration and land registers, and formulate a set of policies as soon as possible to split up the population of the gentry and reduce their land ownership."

Hearing this, Wang Fugui frowned slightly, "My lord, if you do this, I'm afraid that those gentry will retaliate. If one is not good, there will be chaos in Huazhou."

"Then keep your tactics softer. As long as the bottom line of the gentry is not stimulated, they dare not take the risk of making trouble." Lin Yifan sneered.

"This?" Wang Fugui was still worried, but seeing the confidence on his face, he immediately accepted the order and said, "I obey."

Regardless of the worry on his face, Lin Yifan turned his head to look at Xue Cheng, "Master Xue, you are in charge of legal affairs. This time in Huazhou, you must establish Hengshan's law as soon as possible. Only in this way can I, Hengshan, truly control Huazhou. ,do you know?"

"The minister takes orders."

"Master Han, your Ministry of Public Works must arrange the construction of roads in Huazhou, as well as farmland and water conservancy facilities as soon as possible. Now that the war is over and there are a lot of refugees, you need to recruit more local people to help them, so that they can work."

"The minister took orders, and the minister only dispatched a group of craftsmen from Hengshan, and the rest were recruited from the local area."

"Very well, this time I let you go south, in order to restore people's livelihood in Huazhou as soon as possible and stabilize the people's hearts." Lin Yifan looked around at the crowd and said solemnly, "I am here to deter the nobles of Huazhou. To provide a solid backing for your political governance. But in order to stabilize the hearts of the gentry, I decided to appoint Pei Yan as the comfort envoy of Huazhou to preside over the government affairs of Huazhou. But don't worry, I asked you to come, in addition to assisting other In addition to governing the state of Washington, it is more important to supervise and limit its power in the state. Do you understand?"

"Your Excellency is wise, I will obey your orders."
