Chapter 537: Money moves people’s hearts

"But if I give up my life, there will be rivers of blood here!" Deng Chushan said with a smile: "I guess Mr. Qian is also a reasonable person, and he will not watch these innocent people suffer."

"The prefect threatened the little old man, and the little old man couldn't help but be frightened!" There was a hint of gloom in the old village chief's eyes.

"This is not a threat, but a fact. The imperial court's determination to develop the government directly under the central government is unshakable and will be connected from south to north in the future.

Qian is always a reasonable person. Others don't understand, but I understand.

But Mr. Qian definitely understands!”

The old village chief squinted his eyes, "What if we are unwilling to ask for money and are unwilling to leave? After all, the document said it is up to us to voluntarily!"

"Okay!" Deng Chushan laughed and said, "But you can't hinder others, right? I've already asked someone to adjust the money.

Those who are willing to move to the city can get money today; those who are unwilling to move can stay in the fishing village.

Don’t force it.”

"The prefect has a good plan. If you take the money and go to the city, you won't be punished casually!" said the old village chief.

"I can take care of one person, how can I take care of hundreds or thousands of people? Mr. Qian thinks too highly of me, I'm just a prefect!" Deng Chushan looked at the people around him, "I swear, I will take away whoever is willing to leave.

If the money goes away, those who don't want to can continue to stay in the fishing village, but if the imperial court develops the tidal flats, they will avoid you in the future.

Good times will also elude you. If you don't live a good life in the future, just don't come and blame me.

That's all I have to say.

You can kill people with no more than a nod. If you believe me, you will get the money. If you don’t believe me, you can just continue to live your current life."

The people around were silent.

They are not stupid.

Is it really good to stay in a fishing village?

What a fart!

Is it so good to go to sea?

Is their home that good?

It’s hot in summer and cold in winter. On rainy days, it rains heavily outside and light rain at home.

Who dares to go to sea in strong winds and waves?

With two hundred taels of silver, a brick house in the city, and compensation for fertile land, how could a family still go hungry?

When the old village chief saw this, his heart sank. He was looking forward to Deng Chushan's arrival because he wanted to make things worse.

But he didn't expect that Deng Chushan would be so eloquent and bold.

He could feel the changes in the people around him, and he was anxious for a while.

He was even thinking about whether he should have Deng Chushan killed and then take these people into the sea.

But soon, he gave up this idea.

Not to mention that there are more than a thousand people from the prefect's yamen not far away. Once something happens to Deng Chushan, it will be difficult for these people to succeed.

You might as well risk your own life.

Moreover, this is a real rebellion. Killing the prefect is not a small crime, and the court will definitely not give up.

It's better to take the opportunity to screen a group of people, and those who remain will definitely be willing to support him.

By then these people will definitely become the backbone.

Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, since the prefect has said so, the little old man believes it.

But if there is any way out from talking to the prefect in the future, we will never give up!"

Deng Chushan looked at him deeply and said, "Don't worry, you won't get this chance!"

Then, he stood there calmly, and the people around him looked at him with even more awe.

And the common people watching the theater also talked a lot, "Prefect Deng is so brave, he actually went in alone."

"I don't know how the discussion went."

Li Xiangjun on the side said: "Brother Li, what do you think?"

"Eighty percent of it has been negotiated, otherwise they wouldn't have released him!" Zhu Jun said, "Let's not talk about whether Governor Deng is a good official. At least he is a courageous person who can fight against trouble."

"Yes, you are indeed brave. An ordinary person would not put himself in danger." Li Xiangjun said.

Zhu Jun secretly made a gesture to Shen Erbao, telling him to tell the people of the Suzaku Army not to move.

If there was anything wrong with these people, he would directly ask the people of the Suzaku Army to take action.

It's not that he can't trust these people, but after the battle in Yangzhou, he understood that in peacetime, bandits are the people, and in times of chaos, the people are bandits.

Who knows if any of these people are related to pirates?

There must be some, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big fight.

Sometimes, the court's strategy is good, but it cannot resist the instigation of some ambitious people in an attempt to gain more benefits.

While everyone was talking about it, the aide took Deng Chushan's official seal, opened the treasury, pushed 30,000 taels of silver, and left the city.

Deng Chushan explained and made the matter bigger, letting everyone know and see clearly that the yamen was not a white wolf with empty hands, and it was not just talk.

The incident in the fishing village was already well known and aroused. Now that they learned that the prefect's staff left with the money, countless troublemakers followed to watch the show.

"You have seen it clearly. Those who say no compensation will be given for relocation, what are they talking about!" The staff stood on the carriage and shouted loudly.

Soon, the entire Songjiang City was shaken.

More and more people followed behind and watched the show together.

Looking at the crowd of people, everyone in Qianjia Village was a little frightened.

The stout man said angrily: "Prefect Deng, did you call someone secretly?"

Deng Chushan looked at it and said, "No, the money has arrived!"

Soon, the staff came over with the money. He walked quickly to Deng Chushan and said, "Sir, the money has been brought."

Deng Chushan nodded, looked at the stout man, smiled faintly, and then shouted to the others: "Those who are willing to move, come now to collect the money, two hundred taels per household, first come, first served, if you are late, you will have to wait for the next one." Approved!"

Wow!

Everyone was in an uproar immediately.

Especially the boxes of silver opened and shining in the sun dazzled their eyes!

Money and silk touch people's hearts. Some people are already moved, but now they can't stand it anymore.

But no one is the first to stand out.

Deng Chushan sat there and asked, "No one wants money? If none of you are willing to leave the fishing village, then I will leave."

Never mention the relocation in the future.

And if we develop the tidal flats, we will avoid you!"

There was silence.

The people watching the excitement not far away also stretched their necks and swallowed their saliva in envy.

"Mom, how many years will it take to earn a subsidy of two hundred taels per household?"

"Damn it, how come such a good thing doesn't happen to us!"

"This shabby house in the fishing village is worth two hundred taels of silver? It's good if it's worth two hundred taels!"

The people who were watching the fun all started to curse. They only wished that this good thing did not happen to them.

In the fishing village, after a while of silence, someone finally couldn't resist and said, "I'm sorry, my mother is seriously ill and I am in urgent need of money. With this money, my mother can see a doctor!"

One person came forward while explaining.

Immediately after, someone said: "My father is also sick and needs money!"
