Chapter 36 The Great Change
Yang Feng's words were like a bomb, shattering everyone.
Even Geng Bingyi, the honest man, widened his eyes and said to Yang Feng in disbelief: "What... Lord Qianhu, you... are you going to bring back all the fields?"
"That's right!" Yang Feng said with unquestionable words: "These lands were not yours originally, so isn't it natural to take them back?"
"Baola..."
A crisp sound sounded, and a burly middle-aged man stood up, strode to Yang Feng and looked down at him, saying word by word: "I don't care whether these fields are from thousands of households or not, but these fields are passed down from generation to generation. Whoever dares to touch these fields will fight him to death!"
"Passed from generation to generation?"
Yang Feng looked at the strong man opposite him with a smile, who was one head taller than him, and then looked carefully before saying lightly: "If I remember correctly, you are Cao Yingyu, are you?"
Cao Yingyu was also a little surprised, but it was introduced once last time. Yang Feng actually remembered his name, but he still stood upright and shouted loudly: "I am Cao Yingyu...you..."
"Bang……"
"Crazy la la la la la la la..."
Before Cao Yingyu could finish his words, Yang Feng punched him in the chest. He was beaten to fly several steps. He fell firmly on the table. The entire table fell down, and all the dishes and bowls and chopsticks fell all over the floor.
Yang Feng strode to Cao Yingyu and grabbed his collar and sneered: "Zhi Mom, who are you kids? You dare to call yourself in front of me. Have you never learned the superiors and inferiors of yourselves in your life?"
Cao Yingyu, who was grabbed by Yang Feng's collar, had a fierce light flashed in his eyes. His left hand grabbed Yang Feng's right hand, and his right hand used all his strength to hit Yang Feng directly in the face.
"Old Cao cannot..."
"Stop!"
"No!"
When the incident happened, everyone was shocked by this scene. It was not until Yang Feng lifted Cao Yingmao and Cao Yingmao punched Yang Feng and everyone came to react. A shout suddenly sounded around him, and Geng Bingyi rushed over with a quick step to stop Cao Yingyu.
Geng Bingyi was very clear that Cao Yingyu's martial arts were superb, and his great strength made him a famous general in Jiangdongmen Qianhu. If Yang Feng, a Shangguan, was injured or even killed here today, no officer in the entire Jiangdongmen Qianhu Station would run away, and he might be treated as a rebel.
However, the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations. Yang Feng stretched out his left hand and blocked Cao Yingqiao's right fist. Then he firmly grabbed his right hand with his left hand, and raised Cao Yingqiao with his right hand. This scene was shocking to everyone. You must know that Cao Yingqiao was about 1.88 meters tall, and he was at least about 200 pounds. It would be fine to raise it, but more importantly, Yang Feng could actually raise such a heavy strong man with one arm with one arm. How strong does it take to do?
Cao Yingmao, who was raised by Yang Feng, turned red and his face kept struggling. He grabbed Yang Feng's right hand and tried to spread his hand apart, but he felt that the other party's hand was like an iron hoop that tightly wrapped around his neck, and it was slowly tightening. The courage he was proud of on weekdays was so fragile in the face of this absolute power.
As the force tightened, Cao Yingchi's struggle became less and less powerful, and his whole face turned red. He saw that Yang Feng would be strangled to death if he didn't put him down.
Seeing this, Geng Bingyi knelt down and begged, "Sir, please beg you, please remember that Cao Baihu is the first offender and is stupid, so you can spare him."
Yang Feng looked at Cao Yingmao and found that the man who was still aggressive just now had his face turned blue and his struggle was getting smaller and smaller. If he didn't let go, he would have died in a while. Seeing this, he relaxed his hand. Cao Yingmao collapsed to the ground with a thud, holding his neck with both hands and was breathing heavily. After a while, he gradually recovered. Sitting on the ground, he looked at Yang Feng standing in front of him with a look of awe in his eyes and never dared to speak again.
Yang Feng stood there, his eyes faintly looking around everyone, "How is it? Are there anyone else going to gesture with me now?"
Facing Yang Feng's forcing eyes, everyone lowered their heads. Even Cao Yingmao, who was recognized as the most brave, could not stop his hand. It would be useless for them to go up.
"Since no one speaks, I will say a few words." Yang Feng said seriously: "I know that the fields in your hands are all passed down by your ancestors or fathers, but you must know that strictly speaking, these fields are all official fields, which means that they belong to the court of thousands of households. You have no right to trade and distribute them. The court ignored them before, because everyone was doing this. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, so no one has ever cared about you, but..."
Yang Feng suddenly sternly said: "But do you know that your comfortable life is based on the premise that many military households are poor? Do you know how many military households are scolding you behind them? They scold you dog officials who drink blood in soldiers!"
Listening to Yang Feng's scolding, many officers lowered their heads. They were not stupid, so they naturally knew that the reason why these officers lived a comfortable life was based on sucking the flesh and blood of many poor military households. But for so many years, they have been through this for generations, and they have long been accustomed to it. They never thought that Yang Feng ruthlessly stripped out the skin today, and they felt that it hurts so much!
Seeing that many officers lowered their heads, Yang Feng nodded: "It's okay, I know I'm ashamed, this proves that it's not hopeless. Don't worry, I said that I want to take back these lands as common possessions. Of course, I have considered your way out. Don't think that I am here to steal your land. To be honest, a few thousand acres of land has not been put in my eyes. Now I want to give you a fortune."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. What does this mean?
"I decided to redistribute your food and salary. The deputy thousand households have 10 taels of silver per month, 2 stone of grain, 8 taels of silver per month, 1 stone of grain per person, 5 taels of silver per month, 8 ounces of grain per person, 8 ounces of silver per month, 8 liters of grain, 3 taels of silver per month, 5 liters of grain per person, 5 liters of grain per person, 1 ounce of silver per month, 3 liters of grain per month, 1 ounce of silver per month, 3 liters of grain per month, 1 ounce of silver per month, 3 liters of grain per month, 1 ounce of silver per month, 1 ounce of silver per month, 1 ounce of weapons and armor of the 100 households, and the 100 households will be fully covered by the 100 households after the grain produced on the farm is released every year. The official will also praise the military households and officers of the Thousand Houses as appropriate, and will be promulgated after the official has thought about it."
After hearing Yang Feng's words, everyone was stunned. Even Cao Yingmao, who was sitting on the ground, forgot the discomfort in his neck, looked at Yang Feng blankly. This Lord Yang was not here to fool everyone, right?
