Chapter 532: The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.
Seventy-eight taels of silver a month?
Do you dare to say this?
How much can you earn from fishing in a month?
Even if the imperial court did not ban the sea, they would not be able to earn so much.
Deng Chushan was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "The reason why I asked you to move is to completely develop the tidal flat to avoid future invasion by pirates.
Moving you inland, firstly, you can avoid pirates, and secondly, it is better to make a living by farming than going out to sea, where there are dangers of strong winds and waves."
"It's not the yamen's responsibility when there are pirates. The yamen can't protect us. Isn't it the fault of us ordinary people?" The leader of the old village chief said: "Sir, although what you say is reasonable, who is willing to give up on themselves?
's home?
As the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
If the little old man agreed easily, if something went wrong in the future, wouldn't he be stabbed in the back by the villagers?
The most important thing is that our ancestral graves are all in that same area. If we leave, will we have to level the graves in the future?
This is absolutely impossible!”
"Yes, it is absolutely impossible to level the grave. Even if the court gives us 10,000 taels of silver, it will not be possible!"
When talking about this incident, everyone who was originally peaceful showed anger in their eyes, as if they wanted to eat Deng Chushan alive.
"Who said we have to level the tombs?" Deng Chushan had a headache. "Didn't the little official who went to promote it say that he was going to rebuild the ancestral tombs for you, and then a park would be built around your ancestral tombs."
"That is our ancestral graveyard. No one is allowed to touch it. Otherwise, we will die without being able to see our ancestors!"
"That's right!"
In this era, ancestors are greater than the sky, and whoever dares to touch the ancestral graves will definitely die.
Not to mention forced relocation, if they had this idea, these people would probably come to the imperial court with harpoons in hand.
If something like this happened under his rule, let alone Gao Sheng, the court would definitely use his head to appease the public's anger.
Deng Chushan swept away these people and said, "Who said anything about touching your ancestral graves? This government has said that no one has touched your ancestral graves, and the government will also provide money to help you repair them so that you can offer incense during the Qingming Festival and the Double Ninth Festival."
Not only that, but it also needs to be built into a garden. As long as you agree, the Yamen is even willing to allocate funds to build an ancestral hall for you, how about it?"
This treatment is already incredible.
Giving houses, money, land, helping to build ancestral tombs, and building ancestral halls can be said to be the most benevolent and righteous.
Everyone who was originally angry looked at each other in shock.
The old village chief also stopped talking, "Master Fu, it's not that we don't trust the Yamen, it's that we don't know what to do."
"My government has made a promise and come up with a plan. If you still have any concerns, tell them all. As long as this government can do it, we will definitely find a way." Deng Chushan said.
"There are 200 households in our village. Can Mr. Fu Zun give the children in our village a living job? It won't be more than five taels of silver a month."
"Our village is a big one, with more than 300 households, and the requirements are the same!"
Deng Chushan finally understood that these people were just messing around. Even if he really had the ability to arrange everyone, these people would dislike him and which one he disliked.
He slammed the table and said, "Do you really think this place is a charity hall? I can tell you nicely that you can be picky and raise the price."
Returning people's hearts is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.
Giving money to land, giving silver to build ancestral halls and ancestral lands, this is a great cause dynasty. How can there be such good treatment in any dynasty of any country?
I'll give you three days to think about it. After three days, if you still insist on going your own way, don't blame me for getting things done.
By then, not only will you not get any benefits, but I will make you regret it in no time!"
"Does the Lord of the Palace want to force evictions? I won't agree even if I die!"
"Then you underestimate me too much. Don't worry, I won't force you to move away, and I won't touch a hair of your hair." Deng Chushan smiled coldly. If he wasn't angry, would he really think he was a sick cat?
Hearing this, everyone felt a little uneasy.
Some people wanted to smooth things over and say a few words, but Deng Chushan kicked them out of the Yamen.
"Old village chief, what should we do? Magistrate Deng seems to be really angry." A forty-year-old man said: "Actually, the terms offered by the Yamen are quite generous. How about we agree and forget it? If we go against the court, there will be no good end.
of!"
"Yes, if you give us money, land, and a house, we will make a lot of money. Let's not be stubborn!"
"It's also important to build the ancestral land and the ancestral hall. How shameless it is to say this!"
Seeing that the people around him were shaken, the old village chief banged his cane hard and said, "I'm confused, what do you mean what Prefect Deng said?"
He said he would give money, land, and houses. Did he say when he would give them?
What if it takes three to five years, seven or eight years?
These days, are you going to take your whole family to be savages, eating and sleeping in the open?
Although the court has banned the sea, we can still secretly feed our family at the seaside.
If we get ashore, our life and death will really be in the hands of others.
Is it so easy to get money from the imperial court?"
When everyone heard it, they agreed. Although these conditions sounded generous, they were not fulfilled.
If it was true as the old village chief said, it would be too late for them to cry.
"What the old village chief taught us is that if we continue to resist, I'm afraid..."
"Soldiers are coming to stop us, and water is coming to cover us up. Do they still dare to drive us all out?
If it doesn't work, we will go to Beijing and sue Yuzhuang. If it doesn't work, we will fight with them," said the old village chief.
"That's right, His Majesty is a Holy Emperor and will never see us being bullied!"
"We will definitely not be fooled!"
People come and go quickly.
Deng Chushan was very angry at this time, and his staff came over and said: "Sir, these people are too tough, and they can't get in. How about arresting a few people to scare them?"
"Stupid, they are advancing and retreating together. If their people are captured, will they give up?" Deng Chushan scolded: "When I asked you to take people to tell them, what exactly did you say?"
The staff member was startled, "Just do what the adults say!"
"These people will not eat the toast, but will drink fine wine. Send people out to keep an eye on them and not allow them to go into the sea. If they go into the sea, they will be arrested directly!" Deng Chushan said coldly.
How many of these seaside fishermen can resist going into the sea secretly?
Otherwise, food can be grown on the saline-alkali land on the tidal flats?
Regarding these, Deng Chushan also turned a blind eye.
If he loses face today, he will regain his dignity.
Just stare at the old village chief's village, give them a warning first, and then enclose the land. Aren't they unwilling to move away?
It doesn't matter, then build a wall outside the village to avoid their village when it develops.
