Chapter 87: Discourse on Time, Temptation(1/2)
boom!
all of a sudden.
The angry and powerful disciples all knelt straight.
He who came with a sword on his back even put his hand on the sword.
Even the good-tempered one was so angry that his face was livid and he was breathing heavily.
He stared at the person sitting in the seat, who after saying the offending words, took a few more bites of beef.
I just feel.
His Royal Highness is indeed as rumored.
Love the people like a son.
But he hates wealth as much as he hates it.
Committed to going further and further on the road of robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is not from the same group as us."
The aggrieved powerful people choose to express their opinions in person.
It was in the evening that I was caught talking quietly behind my back.
This allowed Zhang Junlin to dig up the land to open up wasteland.
"I remember your name is..."
"Little Ma Huacheng."
The Ma family is considered one of the top local snakes in Yang County.
Although not as powerful and prominent as Jinling.
But there is an old saying from ancient times.
It's called "local snake, tigress, not easy to mess with".
Everyone present knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince displayed great authority when he was in Zhenzhou City.
But so what?
This is Yang County.
The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, even the Kang County Magistrate who was promoted by him.
If you want to get along in Yang County, you have to follow these powerful country gentry.
Otherwise.
The position of county magistrate will certainly not last long.
"Mr. Ma, you just said that you are not the same person as me, is it because I said that you are not a real powerful person?"
"No!"
Ma Huacheng speaks his mind.
"All of you here are truly incomparable to the dignitaries His Highness the Crown Prince met in Jinling. That's why we are hosting today and inviting you to come to the Baihua Building for a banquet and fun."
"But your Highness the Crown Prince, first you refused to accept the toast, and then deliberately humiliated us. I think His Highness the Crown Prince didn't take us seriously. It's not that we don't want to be with you, it's that you don't bother to be with us.
"
Well said.
Zhang Junlin felt that relying on this person's eloquence.
There was no need to talk about him behind his back in the evening.
You can absolutely confront him and not get off the stage.
"Mr. Ma, I'm not disdainful. I just want to be with you, so I came to Yang County specifically."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone who was angry just now was stunned again.
At this time.
A clear and melodious piano sound sounded.
Hearing it makes me feel relaxed and happy.
It's like a trickle of water flowing through my heart, soothing many irritable emotions.
"Do you still remember that I once said outside the city that you can exchange farmland for agriculture and forestry?"
Bringing up old things again.
There are large farmland owners present who own tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.
His face, which had just softened, turned livid again.
The look he looked at Zhang Junlin was also somewhat unkind.
"His Royal Highness, do you still need to ask us to exchange land? Can't we just lend the land to those farmers for planting?"
Zhang Junlin looked at the young man in the corner who spoke again.
He hasn't spoken yet.
A middle-aged man sitting in front of the young man reached out and slapped the young man on the back of the head.
"The dog is shapeless, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Young men are full of blood and will say whatever comes to mind. Aren't they just worried that I will snatch your land? Although South Vietnam's land is not big, as long as the fertile land can be reclaimed, it is really not inferior to the fertile land you have in your hands."
"Some people are planting fertile land, but if no one is planting it, it will be degraded into wasteland. Is I wrong?"
Zhang Junlin took another bite of beef.
Wait until they have digested the threat they just made.
Everyone looked worried.
He then spoke slowly: "You probably don't know that the world is in chaos now, and all the overlords are at war. You are sitting on vast hectares of fertile land. Even if the monarch changes, the powerful and powerful people will stay together for warmth, and the new monarch will not dare to hurt your lives."
"But, just like this time His Majesty the Emperor asked everyone to donate food to fight against the enemy soldiers in Western Chu, who dares not to donate?"
Mention food donations.
The faces of those powerful and aristocratic families who had donated were even uglier.
It was as black as the bottom of a pot, as if a layer of ash could be scraped off.
Miss Lingyue, who was playing the piano hard, almost cried when she saw this.
She couldn't understand.
His Highness the Crown Prince showed so much pity to her just now, and His Highness the Crown Prince spoke so beautifully.
How can you be so capable of offending people?!
She plays beautiful and calming music.
At this time, it fell on my ears, and there was actually a bit of a chilling atmosphere.
"Don't worry, I will only borrow grain, and will not ask anyone to donate it. I have also said that the grain borrowed by Jinling will be returned to you exactly when it is mature."
"Similarly, if I want to exchange cultivated land for agriculture and forestry, I will do so in proportion. I will never take advantage of you. On the contrary..."
Zhang Junlin showed a playful smile.
Just when everyone was waiting for him to give up and say the next thing.
unexpectedly.
He suddenly changed the subject.
"Speaking of Jinling, have you heard that my eldest sister, Princess Junyuan, is following the example of the Western Chu Kingdom and training all the people in the army?"
The people sitting down were in small groups, communicating quietly in secret.
Zhang Junlin's ears twitched.
I know that many people have received the news.
There are many people who have heard of it for the first time.
"His Royal Highness, if you are not talking about exchanging farmland for agriculture and forestry, why are you talking about nationwide military training and fighting?"
Yangxian County has high mountains and far away rivers.
Wait until enemy soldiers from other countries come here.
South Vietnam is also almost dead.
They won't participate in any kind of struggle, they can surrender on the spot and replace themselves with a new monarch.
To be continued...
