Seeing the wealthy families with hundreds of people, the Wang family in Taipingba was destroyed in a blink of an eye. Although the Wang family in Taipingba was also trembling, they were extremely grateful now. Fortunately, when Tian Hongfan sent someone to invite him, the patriarch of the Wang family judged the situation and chose not to interfere.

The patriarch of the Wang family is wise because he deeply understands a truth that the law does not blame the masses, which is just an ordinary concept. If a strong person is really serious and the law does not blame the masses, this concept is bullshit.

If you win, you can certainly get a share of the pie, but compared to the tragic failure, what is that pie?

This time he had a right bet. Every day, he saw the once arrogant and crazy family leaders passing by in front of his house, being tied up like dogs, wearing ropes into strings, and being beaten and scolded all the way to the execution ground, and he felt a deep fear.

Lying on the window and watching another group of family members participating in the rebellion walk towards the execution ground, the clan leader of the Wang family retreated. The brothers and nephews around him all breathed a sigh of relief and celebrated: "This time, we have escaped the disaster, but the clan leader is still wise."

The royal clan leader smiled bitterly: "Isn't it just an experience of suffering a loss? Our ancestors thought that in Shandong, it was a wealthy family in Hexi. At that time, the people only knew that there was a Zhang family but not a court. Our family didn't know how many empresses, prime ministers and generals of Shangshu were born. But what was the final outcome? It was not that the Yan Feifei fell into the homes of ordinary people in front of Xie Wangtang in the past. In all dynasties, as long as the emperor decides and the emperor has another knife in his hand, it is something that we can't resist. We must remember."

Everyone nodded and remembered it in their hearts.

"But we avoided the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month? No, for the sake of one's own and all, I will take the initiative to report the amount of our land and implement the new policy tomorrow."

A nephew felt so distressed: "If we implement the new policy, our family will have to pay out thousands of taels of silver every year."

"Don't be fooled." The royal clan leader whispered: "What's the point of thousands of taels of silver? I'm now announcing that if you rent our land, you will add three cents of silver for each acre. No, four cents. If the tenants have any complaints, tell them that this is added by the new policy and has nothing to do with us. If you have any complaints, let them go to the government."

Li Shouyi also went to a village in person and summoned all the people and tenants to teach.

After participating in the rebellion some time ago, all the families involved were killed and injured. This village can be said to be filial to every family.

When Master Guan came, everyone immediately made everyone tremble.

Facing the people gathered together, Li Shouyi told everyone seriously: "What are you doing? This is rebellion. What are the consequences of rebellion? Where is the national law?"

When everyone heard this, the souls of all the dead shouted injustice.

Li Shouyi frowned: "You still have grievances? As a parent, I will give you a chance to defend yourself, so listen."

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the official to give everyone a complaint. After discussing it, the three elders in the village were finally launched.

"Master, we all know that the new certificates launched by Master are for the benefit of us ordinary people. But we have never had land, and our ancestors have been divesting the land of the king's family for generations, so we will naturally let them manipulate. If we go against their will, we will lose the land, so how can we live? This time the same is true. They asked us to participate in the first place, but we did not say that we were fighting against the government, and we did not have the courage to do so. As a result, we died and were also carrying the charge of rebellion. It was really unfair."

Li Shouyi thought deliberately: "If the people are ignorant, they will be innocent. This is what the saint said. In this way, you have been bewitched by others."

When the three elders heard this, they nodded immediately: "That's right, in the past, the same was true for fighting with neighboring villages. Who knew that this time they were fighting with the government? We were really blinded."

"You fools, I really can't do anything to you. How many people have you died this time?"

When everyone mentioned this, they cried bitterly. In the past, there were few opportunities for death for neighboring fights; however, this time it was different. Zhao Xing was a real army, and rows of muskets were shot, and countless casualties were killed or injured.

"However, you rented their land and collected 80% of your output. This time, those who died for them will not only bear the charge of rebellion and lose their lives, but have you received pensions?"

The three elders and the people in the village will look at me and I will look at you - yes, we produce grain for them and work hard for them, and there is no such thing as yet.

"Although the land is not yours, the land rent you pay now has no time to spend. According to the current national laws and policies, you have far exceeded what you pay to the state. Are you just willing to do so?"

The three elders and fellow villagers looked at each other, and an old man said on behalf of the final period Ai Ai Ai: "How can we not be willing to give up? The land belongs to others, and they can only decide. Mr. Zhang once told us that if the new policy is implemented, we will still have to pay the three cents of silver added per mu of land. In that way, we will be even more miserable."

Li Shouyi finally knew the people's voice, so he shouted: "My new policy is to reduce your burden and increase the income of the treasury. We will never let this three-point silver eventually fall on you. So I am now issuing a decree. In Chuxiong, the land rent in the whole world in the future will not exceed 50%. If there is more than that, I support you to abandon their land."

When the three elders heard this, they couldn't help but feel excited, but they turned to worry: "We have appreciated the kindness of the master, but if we don't cultivate the land, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, in the future, the land will be contracted for you to cultivate. If you don't cultivate the land of the old men, the country will also introduce a policy, which is to tell those landlords that if the land is abandoned for a year, it will be immediately state-owned. I don't believe that if so much land is counted on those masters and wives, can they be cultivated? At that time, if he does not reduce rent and interest, the court will make them furious."

With such a guarantee, all the people were excited.

"It is useless to say these, they will also let you arm yourself to confront the government. Do you continue to listen to them or to the government's uniform?"

There is no need to ask, the people have a scale in their hearts. Although the officials of all generations have not kept their word, it is now an opportunity to resist. The long-suppressed spirit of resistance is brewing in their hearts.
