Hearing this, the eyes of all the family heads suddenly lit up.
Qian Fa immediately said: "Sir, my family also has a hot spring villa in Beiwang Mountain. On weekdays, if you are tired of dealing with government affairs, you can go here to soak in the hot springs to relieve your fatigue."
"If you don't mind it, please accept this small gift!"
When the others heard this, they were not willing to lag behind and also expressed:
"Sir, my family has the best ruby passed down from the Western Regions. It is very beautiful for women to wear it. I would like to dedicate this ruby to you!"
"Sir, I have some good brocade from Sichuan at home, which can be used by my wife to make clothes. I will ask my family to send it to me right away!"
"Sir, I have several beauties from the Western Regions in my family. They are all fair-skinned and beautiful, with curvy fronts and backs. They are perfect candidates for bed-warming in winter..."
These people rushed to offer treasures to Zhao Xiaole, fearing that the gifts they gave were too light and would be targeted by Zhao Xiaole.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished talking, Zhao Xiaole looked at Suzaku aside and said, "Have you memorized everything?"
Suzaku held a small notebook in his hand, recording the gifts and quantities given by all the family heads.
She nodded and said, "I've already written it all down."
"Um."
Zhao Xiaole nodded and said: "After today, you will have someone come to collect this list. If anyone dares not to give it to you, come back and tell me. I will make him look good!"
"yes!"
After hearing these words, all the family heads couldn't help but feel ashamed.
This Mr. Zhao is really... very special!
They immediately said that they would have gifts delivered to their doorsteps when they returned, and then looked at Zhao Xiaole expectantly and said, "Sir, this new policy..."
Zhao Xiaole immediately said with a straight face: "The New Deal is a national policy implemented by His Royal Highness, so of course it must be implemented without reservation!"
"ah?"
The heads of these families immediately widened their eyes.
I thought that’s not what you said just now!
Now you change your face after receiving the gift. Isn't this too heartless of you?
But for the sake of their family's survival, they still asked patiently: "Sir, the fields in our family..."
Their eyes widened, full of pleading.
They no longer expect Zhao Xiaole to withdraw this decree.
They only hope that Zhao Xiaole can show mercy to their family when he implements this decree.
However, Zhao Xiaole sneered and said: "All the land that we have taken away from us will be returned to the original people. The unowned land will be regarded as state-owned, and you are strictly prohibited from annexing the land again!"
After hearing what he said, these family heads were stunned for a few seconds, and then their eyes widened, with a faint hint of anger.
An old man in his fifties with all white hair and beard was so angry that he was shaking all over, his beard and eyebrows trembling wildly.
He pointed at Zhao Xiaole's nose with his finger and said angrily: "I waited for concessions, but only in exchange for you, a dog official like you, became even more greedy!"
"I will go back and wait, even if I die! Our Li family will not return the fields that originally belonged to our Li family!"
After saying that, he angrily waved his hands and walked out of the Yamen.
Although the other family heads were also very angry, they did not dare to point at Zhao Xiaole's nose and scold the dog official like the Li family head.
After all, the people standing next to them are all wolf-like and tiger-like guards in uniform!
Old Man Li is already a man with half his neck buried in the loess, so naturally he is not afraid, but they are still young, so they are still afraid!
Seeing how fierce Old Man Li was, they all thought that Old Man Li was definitely dead.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaole just looked at Old Man Li's back and sneered, but showed no sign of wanting to take action.
"If any of you still want to leave, you can leave now!"
Zhao Xiaole glanced at the group of people coldly and said.
Everyone's hearts suddenly became cold. How could they dare to leave?
And among them, who can be called the head of any famous family, which one is not a person with a sharp mind?
It was immediately obvious that there was something more in Zhao Xiaole's words.
So they calmed down and were no longer anxious. They wanted to see what Zhao Xiaole had to say.
Sure enough, seeing that no one was thinking about leaving, Zhao Xiaole faced everyone and said, "I ask you, I ask you, what is the annual yield per mu when you annex the land and hire tenant farmers?"
Qian Fa didn't understand why he asked this, but he still replied: "It's about 180 kilograms per mu."
"My family's weight is higher, 190 pounds per acre."
"Well, our family is similar to the Qian family."
"Yes, my family is too..."
Other family heads also expressed their agreement.
Zhao Xiaole said with disdain on his face: "That is to say, no family's yield per mu exceeds 200 kilograms. Then do you know how many kilograms per mu the farmers produce each year?"
"At least three hundred pounds!"
Zhao Xiaole didn't wait for them to reply, then looked at the family heads whose expressions were gradually getting ugly and said, "Then do you know why the gap is so big?"
"These tenant farmers must think that their fields are not theirs, so they don't take care of them!"
Many family heads said with anger on their faces.
"Of course this is one of the reasons, but do you know what the culprit is? It's your greed!"
Zhao Xiaole's eyes were like lightning, and he glared at everyone and said: "For your own benefit, you don't treat these tenant farmers as human beings at all, you just want them to live."
"And by keeping them alive, you just want them to help you farm the land!"
"Under such oppression, do you think they will help you farm your land wholeheartedly?"
Wherever his gaze passed, all the family heads immediately lowered their heads in shame.
yes!
They bought these lands just to make a huge profit, so how could they be too kind to the tenant farmers?
And in their hearts, they think that if they can give you a bite of food, it is already very good. Do you want other things? How greedy!
Therefore, these landlords have become more and more stingy at home, and their treatment of the tenant farmers has become increasingly harsh.
If things go on like this, the tenant farmers will become less and less hopeful, and the land they farm will naturally become less and less attractive.
If the harvest is not good, the landlords will naturally become more and more stingy, and the tenant farmers...
This creates a vicious cycle until one day the conflict breaks out completely and the people rise up...
Ignoring the ashamed expressions of these vampires, Zhao Xiaole continued: "Have you never thought about why the yields of homesteaders are better than yours?"
"Is it because the fertilizers they use are better than yours? Or is the rice seed better than yours?"
"None of that!"
Zhao Xiaole said in a grand tone: "That's because the harvest of this mu of rice fields is their hope all year round!"
"Only when they can see hope can they have the motivation to move forward, and then they will work harder to find ways to increase the yield of rice seeds!"
"And you!"
Zhao Xiaole pointed at them and said with a look of disgust: "But they are killing this hope. Once hope is killed, they will either lie down and die, or they will rise up to resist."
"Do you want the Huang family's tragedy to happen to you again?!"
Hearing his roar, all the masters immediately trembled and their expressions changed dramatically.
