Chapter 536: Risking Yourself
Soon, Deng Chushan arrived in front of everyone in Qianjia Village.
Seeing Deng Chushan coming over, these people all gritted their teeth and looked at him with a fierce look in their eyes, as if they were looking at the enemy who killed their father.
Deng Chushan was not intimidated by these people. He glanced at these people, then looked at the government servant who was beaten to death, and those people kneeling on the ground. He withdrew his gaze and said: "You want me to come here, I will come here."
Come on, find someone who can talk!"
The sturdy man said angrily: "Guan Guan, if you still dare to come here and want to demolish our house, we will fight with you..."
"Yes, let's fight..."
Deng Chushan took a deep breath and said, "Have I ever oppressed the people?"
"Why didn't you bully the people? Forcibly demolishing our houses, isn't this bullying?"
"If giving houses, land, and money is considered oppression, then what is not oppression?" Deng Chushan looked at them, "Earlier, all the village elders from each of your villages were invited by me to the prefect's Yamen to talk to them.
Said it clearly.
I agree to the demolition, rent you an excessive amount of houses, allocate fields within seven days, and send you compensation money within three days. Houses need to be built. At present, a piece of land has been planned in the city and is already under construction.
It is arranged by the engineering team of Prince Wu's Mansion and can be moved in by the end of the year.
Dare I ask, is this considered bullying?
Why did I bully you?
Are you not being compensated or are you forced to leave your hometown?
You guys say it!”
The sturdy man was stunned and said, "What you say is better than what you sing. Who knows whether it's true or not!"
"Even if I have ten courages, I will not dare to issue a document from the imperial court. King Wu will come to supervise it in the future. If I find out that I am committing fraud, I will not be able to chop off my ten heads!"
Deng Chushan pointed at these people, "In the past, when you secretly went into the sea to fish, I turned a blind eye so that you could survive.
Do you really think that the imperial court’s order to ban the sea is fake?
Or do you think there are no troops stationed in Songjiang City?
So what if you gather three to five thousand people?
Is it to disobey the imperial court?
Do you want to rebel?
Are you going to take your whole family and go to the sea to become a bandit?
Isn't it good that the imperial court gives you land so that you can go from being precarious to being down-to-earth?
You no longer have to brave the wind and waves to risk fishing and violate the laws of the country.
There is no need to endure the invasion of pirates anymore.
Is this also oppression?”
Deng Chushan's words silenced many people.
"There are two official characters, but we common people who can't read Chinese characters can't compete with you!" Seeing this, the old village chief hurriedly let Qian Henian pass. Qian Henian walked out of the crowd. These people seemed to have found a backbone.
, all looked over one after another.
"Who are you? Can you make the decision?" Deng Chushan said.
"Prefect, don't worry about whether the villain can make the decision. Since the relocation of the village is so good, let's implement the benefits first!" Qian Henian said.
"Okay, the current price of an acre of land is between two and three taels of silver. Jiangnan is prosperous and Songjiang Prefecture has a lot of saline-alkali land, so the price is five taels of silver per acre.
According to the imperial court's standards, the price that was twice the price was ten taels of silver per acre.
And we have a great cause to build the country, and each household has fifteen acres of land.
Regardless of whether you have fifteen acres of land, you will be compensated as fifteen acres.
This is one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
At the same time, when the court requisitions land, compensation will be based on one person and one house. Each house will not be less than three-thirds of the land.
Ask yourself, does your house have an acre of land?
Isn’t it that I look down upon you? With your mud houses and thatched houses, where a family is crowded into less than three-thirds of the land, does the imperial court think highly of your houses?
A family of three can be allocated three houses in the city and no less than one acre of land.
How many years will it take you to buy one acre of land and build one acre of brick houses in the city?
After all, you can not only get more than two hundred taels of silver in cash, but also get fertile land and endless houses.
How many years will you have to fish to earn this money?
It is no exaggeration to say that if you don’t eat or drink your whole life, you won’t make any money.
I don't know what you are talking about.
How dare you accuse me of bullying, kill my own people, and privately punish the government officials.
Are you worthy?"
Deng Chushan's eloquent words confused everyone present.
Because no one has settled this account for them at all.
No one told him that demolishing the house would have so many benefits.
They were all confused and looked at their village chief.
The old village chief was also shocked.
Qian Henian even said: "These are all your words. We only believe what we see with our eyes."
"Okay, I'll go transfer the money now!" Deng Chushan said loudly: "As long as you agree, come and collect the money with your household registration certificate!
Now that I have released my people, you are detaining the government. This is already a serious crime of treason.
Now let him go and forget about it.
You don't understand, it's because I didn't do a good job and didn't explain it clearly.
Now that I am here in person, you can ask any questions you have!"
The sturdy man stopped talking and looked at Qian Henian, "Brother Nian, why don't you let him go?"
"You are stupid. If you let him go, will he still keep his word?"
As soon as Qian Henian finished speaking, Deng Chushan said: "If you are worried, I will serve as a hostage. As a palace official, I am worth more than these government servants, right?"
After saying that, he walked towards everyone in a swaggering manner.
"My lord, this is not possible!"
"Sir, come back quickly!"
All the government officials behind him were stunned.
Deng Chushan shook his head at them. At present, he had stabilized these people. As long as these people took the money, the situation would quickly open up.
When promoting a new system, nothing goes wrong.
When the people in the fishing village saw Deng Chushan approaching alone, they all gave way.
After all, the man in front of me is the lord of the house, so I still feel awe in my heart.
Deng Chushan walked up to the government officials and said, "Get up and go back!"
The leader's face turned red with shame, "Sir, you are humble and incompetent!"
"Stop talking, take the body away, I'll keep it here!" Deng Chushan said, and then looked at the old village chief sitting there, "Mr. Qian, we meet again!"
He knew that this old man Qian was the source of the turmoil.
"The little old man can't afford to be a prefect, so he can just call him Qian Lao!" The old village chief looked fearful. The prefect in front of him was different from the ones he had encountered before.
Those people in the past were all weaklings, and it was impossible for them to take risks.
And this person actually dared to come alone.
This shows how courageous he is.
"The last time I invited Mr. Qian to the Yamen, I must have failed to explain clearly. If you have any questions today, please feel free to ask Mr. Qian.
