The emperor left, and the old general Shangguan also stood up.
His expression was also full of disbelief.
All the ministers in the dynasty showed complicated expressions.
Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the old general Shangguan.
"General Shangguan, congratulations. More than 20,000 acres of fertile land have been exchanged for such a plaque. This transaction is really worth it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Xiao tensed his face, waved his hand and left directly.
All the officials saw this and immediately followed behind them and hurriedly left the hall.
The old general Shangguan held the plaque in his hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
This is definitely the biggest surprise for him.
What the Shangguan family lacks now is not gold and silver. In fact, it does not lack reputation. It has already become famous all over the world.
But who doesn’t want to have such an honor?
Now, in his heart, he is full of gratitude for his granddaughter.
At the same time, I am very happy that I believed in my granddaughter.
Taking a proud step, he also left the main hall.
He had already done what he was supposed to do. The rest could only depend on Long Lin himself and the emperor's wishes. He didn't have much choice.
He is willing to hand it over, but those officials may not be willing.
What happened in the court hall quickly spread, and discussions about the matter were aroused around the capital.
Of course, the news also reached Long Lin's ears.
It was his father who took the initiative to tell him everything that happened in the hall in detail.
Long Lin was very calm about this. This reaction was actually better than what he expected.
He originally thought that these ministers would most likely gather a crowd to resist directly.
It seemed that the person those ministers were afraid of was not him, but the emperor.
"Sixth brother, as expected, these ministers jumped up when they touched the interests of these ministers. Do we want to continue now?"
After hearing this, Long Lin immediately smiled and nodded.
"It doesn't matter, let them make trouble. They have no choice but to beg Father. Now that Father is standing behind me, what else can they do? Interfere with what we are doing? There are a large number of imperial troops accompanying them, and they still
Without the courage, the old general has now taken the initiative to hand over the land, so naturally there will be smart people."
After hearing these words, Tatsuno immediately laughed.
"Sixth Brother, the old general is my sister-in-law's grandfather. He must be different from those officials. Even your Grandpa Lei is standing behind those people?"
Long Lin immediately thought of Xue'er.
He naturally imagined that the old general Shangguan would make such a choice because he must have been influenced by his wife Shangguan Yunxue.
That is more than 20,000 acres of fertile farmland. If it were in a village, it would probably be more than the combined fields of dozens of villages.
Not to mention, the fertile fields awarded to Shangguan generals must be the ones with the best harvests.
"This time, I really want to thank the old general. If it weren't for him, the pressure my father would have to face would have been extremely great. Perhaps this was why my father called Grandpa Lei and the old general into the court.
reason."
"It must be true. These two people can be said to be the two most respected and influential people in the court. As long as one of them can stand behind you, then my father will have a way to block Youyou's mouth. If the two
With everyone standing behind the officials, my father must have no choice but to ask you to stop this matter."
Long Ye thought for a while, sighed and said.
"Stop? That is absolutely impossible. Even if no one agrees, I will definitely put this matter into action."
"Sixth brother, face the wrath of the ministers? You are really not afraid of death." Long Ye said directly, half-jokingly.
He can naturally think clearly about the stakes of this matter.
"Angry? Although they are angry, what can they do to me? This time, we are reclaiming wasteland and not touching the land they own. Even if they are angry, what else can they do? Send people to assassinate me? So many
The Forbidden Army is all cooperating in doing this, but ordinary killers definitely don't have the courage."
"Sixth brother, let's not talk about this matter. This is not the first time they have done this. With my father in the way, we can just do things with peace of mind. It has been more than a month, and the efficiency this time is still very fast. It is convenient.
The cows you brought back just look weird and are not easy to use."
Long Ye's face showed a hint of complexity.
After hearing this, Long Lin almost laughed out loud.
A good cow is actually being used to plow the fields, and yet you still think it's not good enough to be rejected by others. I really don't know what to say.
"Tenth brother, those cattle are of great use. With the support of the imperial court, the number of cattle will inevitably grow rapidly. There is no need to worry about this. At least every village now has cattle and farmland.
Our tools and our seeds are also in the hands of everyone. Once the land reclamation is completed, we will fully support the people and sow the seeds of hope into this field of hope."
Long Ye looked at Long Lin, smiled and nodded.
During these days, he saw countless scenes of poor people cheering, and for some reason, he felt very happy in his heart.
This kind of happiness, I don’t know the reason, it seems to be directly infected by the enthusiastic emotions of everyone, and he is also very energetic when he does it.
Not just him, in fact, both the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works all looked the same. Even Long Qian led some people from the Ministry of Punishments, running around in the fields to help.
With Long Qian here, those officials who dare to cause trouble will be immediately and ruthlessly arrested and sent to a prison.
At first when I heard about this, I thought it was out of the blue.
But in just four months, he had achieved such a step, and Long Zhizhong felt as if he was dreaming.
"Sixth brother, why are these cultivated fields far away from the land owned by the dignitaries? With such a long distance, in the future, when the common people take care of it, how can they have enough time to work after traveling such a long distance every day?
?”
"Tenth brother, what would you do if you were a commoner?" Long Lin said with a smile.
"If it were me, it would be simple. I would abandon my original residence and build a new one directly near this field. Anyway, the shabby houses owned by the people have nothing valuable in them. Compared to this land
, it doesn’t matter if the house is thrown away.”
After hearing this, Long Lin nodded. This was his purpose.
"Tenth brother, you see, the places I chose to open up wasteland are actually gathered together. These will be distributed to every common person, and then a land certificate will be created, which can only be used and traded. Naturally, these common people will be there.
Here, a village is re-established. After the reclamation is completed, the people will be helped to farm. After the farming is completed, the people will be helped to rebuild their homes."
When Long Ye heard this, he completely understood.
He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"Sixth brother, you have completely cut off all ideas of those landlords. Without the people to farm for them, the thousands of acres of fertile land are just useless. And in the hands of the people, although they only have dozens of acres
, but it is enough to solve the problem of vitality. As long as you accumulate it diligently, you will definitely have enough food and clothing in the future."
