"Every strand of strands is formed into the wheels and rails. Every strand is formed from the fields. But those who enjoy living, how dare they neglect the gifts of heaven and earth? Gold is born from the soil. This is such an enviable blessing.
?But the people in my hometown are so evil that they want to cover this true gold that was lucky enough to see the light of day under the deep soil again!"
Li Tai grabbed a handful of mineral soil and held it tightly in his hand, and continued to speak loudly: "Everyone, do you think that this country is really rich in water and soil, and can be used inexhaustibly, but you are so wasteful of the blessings of heaven and earth! Such evil nature is tricky.
What qualifications do people have to sit in such fertile land and water?"
Li Tai's words were indeed in line with the current local values. Although everyone felt that he was a bit arrogant, they did not refute for a while, but his expression was vaguely strange. He had previously said that he would unite with the whole family to get rid of him.
The other family is now saying that these two families are not worthy of living here. Is it planning to get rid of them both?
"When it comes to rural sentiments and situations, I do have little experience and can't teach you all here. But what has happened must be done by someone, and it must not accumulate over the years and become a major source of disaster on the earth's surface. You have all seen it today.
The hatred between the two families is deep. Now I am trying to test it a little. If a scoundrel with such ambition comes to know about this situation in the coming year, how far will it go to spread trouble to the hometown?"
At this point, Li Tai returned to the table and grabbed the small pile of price quotation papers from the two families on the table. He tore it into pieces with both hands, then pointed at the people in the hall and said: "At that time, it's just a horse-riding house."
Can the ditch fill the gap of desire? Can you get Long without looking at Shu? The matter has reached a moment when it must be resolved, and this is not my business alone. The masses need to be vigilant and take responsibility!"
To be honest, although Li Tai's words are somewhat deliberately exaggerated, they are indeed very contagious.
Longyou is not a safe place to begin with, and it has indeed happened more than once that disputes that were originally just within the area have spread to the entire Longyou. The hatred between the Li and Quan families is getting deeper and deeper, and maybe one year there will be a real conflict
Which party will be unable to bear the temptation to attract forces from outside the state to join in.
"Li Changshi's words were like a thunder, have you all woken up? Sure enough, bystanders knew better. After listening to Li Changshi's explanation, I was shocked to realize that this matter is indeed not suitable for watching and conniving at it anymore. It does need to be properly resolved, and nostalgia can no longer be hindered all year round.
Stay here!"
After a short silence, the old man surnamed Lu was the first to speak. After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.
There are indeed many people among them who are happy to see the two families quarreling, but not everyone has such a dark mind. Moreover, the families of these two families are not small. Every time they fight, there are hundreds or even thousands of people participating in the battle, even if they are just watching.
Those who stand close will be covered in blood. Nowadays, few people dare to farm within more than ten miles around Kuaima Valley, just for fear of being affected by the fight between the two families.
So after Li Tai's impassioned speech, this matter suddenly became something that everyone needed to face and solve. But the question is, how to solve it? If the hatred between each other is easy to resolve, as for dragging it on for so many years
?
Li Tai also had a plan for this. He raised his finger and pointed at the mineral soil scattered on the ground and said: "Since these two families are willing to give up the gold mine, they will simply confiscate the gold mine. I am not embezzling the village's assets.
There is another arrangement. After deducting the labor costs of mining and gold mining, all the remaining money collected will be used to provide relief to the disabled and orphans of the two families due to the previous battles. What do you think of this arrangement?"
When everyone heard Li Tai's plan, they couldn't help but be stunned again. Before they could speak, Yang Kuan had already applauded: "Such a moral and righteous plan is really clever and thoughtful. The two families continue to fight, but only
It will increase the hatred of the disabled, but because of this gold mine, it is difficult for each other to let go. It is not appropriate to divide it evenly, and it is not appropriate to confiscate it. It is most fair to collect it and then give it back after relief!"
Hearing what Yang Kuan said, all the powerful men in Qinzhou who were present also nodded in praise. The struggle between the two families started from this gold mine. Now the profits from this gold mine are returned to their various clans in another way, and also
It comforted some of the people in their respective tribes who had the deepest hatred, and it indeed allowed people to see the possibility of resolving hatred.
After a lot of discussion among the people in the tent, they reached a consensus on this. But their agreement was still secondary. The key depends on the attitude of both parties.
So Li Tai took the two men who were detained separately and brought them back to the tent. After entering the tent, the two men were no longer as angry as before. They wanted to draw their swords at every turn. Their expressions were a little pale and listless. It can be seen that just now
Li Tai's troubles also cost them a lot of effort.
After entering the account, the two men just looked at each other fiercely, and then looked eagerly at Li Tai above, anxiously waiting for Li Tai to announce the final result.
But even if they win the bid, they actually won't be happy, because the last round of bidding has far exceeded their respective psychological bottom lines. They only rely on a cathartic obsession to maintain it. After returning, they still don't know how to express their feelings to the people of their respective tribes.
Account.
Li Tai did not continue to whet their appetites, but directly stated his plan that had already been approved by the masses.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"It was clearly not what I said before!"
After hearing this plan, both of them stared and shook their heads, expressing their rejection in unison and refusing to accept this mediation plan.
But the reason Li Tai went through this whole thing was not to convince them, but to win over the powerful people here.
These people are not parties to the problem and can look at the problem rationally without emotional factors. The plan proposed by Li Tai is full of moral and humanistic care. When these people approve it, they can gain moral satisfaction and a sense of local responsibility.
And if those two families are still stubborn and refuse to agree, they will really be shameless.
Therefore, after hearing their objections, before Li Tai could speak, all the powerful people present, including the old man surnamed Lu, criticized them for going too far, completely unable to understand the good intentions of Li Changshi and the folks present.
Seeing everyone accusing them in unison, the two of them were a little dumbfounded for a moment, and their hearts were suddenly filled with the loneliness of being the enemy of the whole world. How could the situation of nostalgia have changed so much in such a short period of time?
Before, they were still thinking that even if they lost, Li Tai might not dare to risk public outrage by joining forces with his opponents to eradicate him. But looking at the current situation, if they are unwilling to agree to this plan, all the powerful villagers here will
We must all unite to eradicate them!
Facing the unanimous condemnation from the masses, the two of them were really at a loss to deal with it. They could only express that such an important decision would have to be discussed with their fellow clan members after they returned.
"When you were planning to sell your property just now, why didn't you need to discuss it with your fellow clansmen? Life and death are always better than separation. Li Changshi worked hard to arrange this way out for you two. If you are still unwilling to step on it, how can you really do it?
The two families fighting will not stop until they fight to the death!"
The old man surnamed Lu cursed unceremoniously: "You two have to ask yourselves, are all the clansmen willing to accompany you to fight for your livelihood? How many good men donated their lives before they could grow up to serve their mothers?
?You each have domestic slaves who work hard to support you, so where can those tribesmen who are participating in the war find a living? The gold in the mine is evenly divided between the two tribes, and they are more considerate than you are in caring for your tribe members. What else can you be dissatisfied about!"
Quan Hanlang couldn't bear it any longer, so he lowered his head and said, "Lu Aweng said so, I can agree to it. But how much bran is mined, and whether it can be distributed to the house as promised, I need a guarantee!"
"There is no need to propose this matter, I have already planned it."
After Li Tai heard this, he stood up and said to the old man surnamed Lu and several more prominent villagers present: "Since I have entered the countryside to handle this matter, I must ensure fairness and justice. But one person in charge may not be able to convince everyone.
Therefore, I would like to ask several local sages to work with me on this mine, with morality as the standard, righteousness as the criterion, impartiality, no concealment, and justice. And all the local sages here, as long as they can be recommended by the local sages.
, everyone can participate and work together!”
It has been several years since he came to this world, and he is no longer as inexperienced in integrating the situation of the countryside as he was in Shang Yuan. He still has to ponder and test, and similar operations are now available to him.
As long as such an arbitration committee is formed, there will be a platform for dialogue and a basis for collusion with the powerful people in this area. At the moment, it is only responsible for managing the gold mine relief matters, but when they become stable, more things will be done.
It can be brought under control to make this business bigger. For example, the Western Region trade route will be opened in the near future. If we can take advantage of the situation to form a Longyou merchant gang, we will be much more profitable than going it alone!
The named village tycoons were all happy to participate in this matter. Even Yang Kuan came up and said with a cheerful smile: "It is a good talk to resolve a village grudge. Since I saw this meeting, I also participated.
Ichiban. If your family feels that the punishment in the future is not fair enough, you can come to me and ask!"
Yang Kuan may not be able to discern all of Li Tai's subsequent plans, but simply appreciates Li Tai's method of solving the matter, so he also spoke out to endorse him. As expected, Quan Hanlang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and no longer hesitated about it.
.
But the other party involved, Li Yunxin, looked embarrassed and just lowered his head and said: "I am not questioning Li Changshi, nor am I distrusting Huashang Gong, but this matter is indeed beyond my control.
Only when you arrive at the border..."
When Li Tai heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He pulled Li Yunxin aside and asked in a deep voice: "The duke you mentioned is Li Xianhe of Yuanzhou. Is he your uncle?"
Li Yunxin looked even more shy after hearing this, but still nodded.
When Li Tai saw the pretense, he immediately cursed inwardly, "Damn it, I was actually robbed of my house by someone who secretly stole it!"
He also planned to take advantage of Li Xian's registration issue, but he didn't expect that these unsatisfactory people in the village had already started calling him uncle. When he checked the genealogy left in the village later, if Li Yunxin recognized him,
