Wang Qinruo took the family heads to another lobby.

"do it."

Wang Qinruo sat in the main seat and said to the family heads.

The group of people also found a place to sit down.

"You all know what I mean by coming here. Still the same, how about you sign a ten-year contract for three hundred kilograms of grain per acre of land per year?"

Wang Qinruo asked as he looked at the packed house owners.

"For what exactly?"

one of the family heads asked.

"My Wu family is the largest landowner in the Chu region, with 4.6 million acres of land. Now you want to sign our land to the court. I can agree, but I want to know why, and why the court is so anxious.

Gotta get the land."

Wu Keli, the head of the Wu family in Huguang, asked.

"Yes, the land in the hands of these families here together is tens of millions of acres. This is not a small amount. We also want to know what the court wants to do."

Xu Qian said.

"No matter what it is, since we have agreed, the imperial court will share the pie and cannot treat us badly."

All the family heads nodded one after another, and the few lucky little family heads also nodded desperately when they saw this scene.

They didn't know what they were talking about, but these big families agreed, so they just nodded at this time.

These families prove that sometimes it doesn't matter how powerful you are, what matters is that you made the right choice at the right time and in the right place.

Now they are making the right choice.

Suddenly a group of forbidden soldiers came in, each carrying a large white cloth bag dripping with blood, and they were reporting to Wang Qinruo.

"Prime Minister, a total of twenty-seven people resisted, and all of them have been killed. The heads are here. Please inspect them, Prime Minister."

After saying that, he put the cloth bag in his hand on the ground, opened the seal, and stared into the lobby with dead heads.

Before they died, these people were either frightened or angry, and they all looked directly at Wang Qinruo.

Wang Qinruo stepped forward and looked at each one one by one. After finishing each one, he closed his eyes for them and sighed as he covered them.

"Why bother? If you don't resist, you won't die. The most you can do is serve a few years of hard labor and you'll be fine."

Wang Qinruo looked so pitiful and compassionate that everyone in the room had goosebumps all over their bodies.

They recognized that the dead ones were the heads of families who had made the loudest noise in the hall just now.

They didn't give Wang Qinruo any face just now, and now they don't have to give it to Wang Qinruo anymore, not just now, but also in the future.

"I couldn't help myself for a moment, please forgive me."

Wang Qinruo helped all the heads close their eyes, wiped the corners of their eyes, turned back and said to the owner of the house.

"This is a ruthless person, you can't mess with him."

When all the family heads in the room saw that Wang Qinruo could still cry a few times, they felt suddenly in their hearts, they couldn't offend this man, it was so shameless, he could still cry after killing someone.

The little calculations that were being made in my mind were all settled.

Just do whatever Wang Qinruo says, this is a smiling tiger who can eat people.

"We agreed to your request, but even if we agreed, those temples would not agree. You have to know that there are temples and Taoist temples everywhere in Jiangnan. There is one temple in every city and one temple in each mountain. They are the ones who make this Jiangnan

The largest landowners own tens of millions of acres of land, and they also maintain a large number of monk soldiers. If they disagree, they will let their followers come out to make trouble. Officials in Jiangnan, big and small, are not afraid of them and have always tolerated them.

, for fear that they would rise up and cause chaos."

Xu Qian said to Wang Qinruo.

But don't think that Xu Qian is reminding you with good intentions. He is instigating Wang Qinruo to deal with the Buddhist forces.

Wang Qinruo naturally knew this, but the religious forces in the south, especially Buddhism, were their key targets. Especially after knowing what happened in Wuyou Cave, they became even more unhappy with Buddhism. In the past, they wanted to attack Buddhism.

To fight against Taoism to achieve balance, but now Buddhism is dishonest and wants to commit suicide.

This time I have to knock it hard.

These are Zhao Heng's original words. They must be beaten, but not killed. After all, it has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and they still need to restrain each other.

Since it is just beating, then those things that can kill a Buddhist with a stick cannot be done, but the beating must be so severe that it will not be able to slow down for at least a few to more than ten years.

Not only Buddhism, but also Confucianism and Taoism must be beaten together.

"Oh, by the way, there are two more things. One is a private matter. I learned about it privately. Because you are all old relatives and friends, and we are all our own people, I am telling you. Don't talk nonsense around. You

If you say it, I don’t recognize it.”

Wang Qinruo twirled his beard and said slowly: "Whoever you are, who is taking the elixir, should stop taking it. That stuff... is poisonous."

Wang Qinruo paused for a moment and then said: "This matter is a secret message from Ding Wei within the royal family of the Song Dynasty. I also learned about it accidentally. You should pay attention to it. Those who wear gauze clothes in winter and fur fur in summer are poisoned.

You are the most profound person, if you don’t believe it you can give the elixir to chickens, ducks, cats and dogs to see if they will die.”

Wang Qinruo saw that the faces of many house owners in the lobby had changed, and he knew that these people had also taken the elixir.

Although Buddhism is powerful in the south, Taoism is actually the most powerful. Taoism has been established in the south since the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty, and it has been thousands of years now.

Buddhism was introduced to the south of the Yangtze River in order to check and balance Taoism. Unfortunately, it was a miscalculation. Buddhism spread widely among the lower classes, but the upper classes have always been the exclusive preserve of Taoism, and Buddhism rarely interfered.

Now the royal family of the Zhao and Song Dynasties believed in Taoism, and Zhao Heng kept Taoist priests who made alchemy in the palace. If the superiors did something good, the subordinates would follow suit. The rich and powerful families began to pursue Taoism.

Even some courtiers were taking elixirs.

"Is what I said true or false? You can go to Kaifeng to check and see if the Taoist priests who made alchemy for the royal family are still there?"

If they go to Kaifeng Mansion to check, that person will definitely be gone. They are buried on the second floor of Wuyou Cave.

These people didn't know that when they went to investigate, they could only find the news that the Imperial City Division was dispatched and the Taoist priests disappeared.

As for what they will think about this news, that has nothing to do with Wang Qinruo.

There was a buzz in the lobby for a while, and a group of family heads were communicating quietly, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

After a long time, after Wang Qinruo had finished a cup of tea, everyone in the lobby became quiet.

"Prince Wang, you said there are two things. The first thing is about this elixir. So what is the second thing?"

Xu Qian stood up and asked.

It seems that Xu Qian has become the representative of the family heads here.

"The first thing is a private matter. I told you Wang Qinruo. I asked you to keep this matter a secret. As for whether it can be kept secret, I also know."

Wang Qinruo twirled his beard, closed his eyes slightly, and shouted.
