Chapter 405: The Blame of Hundreds of Thousands of People
this day.
Yuan Tan is writing a letter to Cai Yan, but in fact, the two of them can communicate freely.
But there are some things that are better said in a letter.
It is written in a miasma, but it makes people feel extremely energetic. It is similar to the omission of 10,000 characters here.
"Eldest son, it's not good, something serious happened!"
Yuan Tan was feeling it. Hearing this, his hands trembled, his brows frowned, and when he looked up, it was Guo Jia who had come.
Guo Jia has always been calm.
This time, his face was pale.
Obviously, this matter is not an ordinary event, it must be very serious.
Instead, Yuan Tan calmed down and covered up the private message, "Don't worry, speak slowly."
But Guo Jia couldn't speak slowly, so he quickly reported to the side.
It's about Qu Zhou.
After the families of the Shence Army moved there, Yuan Tan gave a lot of land.
Two mu of land per capita.
So much land, far more than before.
These family members basically did not have their own land in the past, and they all worked as tenants for the gentry, or rented official land, so they could only survive starvation.
Being able to wear new clothes and have a good meal during the holidays is also because the military pay of Shence Mansion is higher than that of other soldiers.
It was also thanks to Yuan Tan's blessing.
Now that we have these lands, we can eat enough and have a surplus.
He must be overjoyed, because he wanted to set up a longevity tablet for Yuan Tan'an.
But after the past, it was found that the desertification was serious, not only did not have enough to eat, but also faced starvation, which was worse than before.
It is inevitable that there will be complaints.
It has now reached the military.
The soldiers heard that the whole family was going to starve to death, how can life in the army be like this?
"My father gave me a backcountry?" Yuan Tan frowned,
This was simply too unexpected for him.
Simply inexplicable.
He thought it was impossible for his father to do such a substandard thing, and he was ridiculed by the world.
"Go and get Guo Tu for me."
After half an hour.
Guo Tu came, sweating profusely, he didn't care to wipe it off, "My lord, how important is it?"
Yuan Tan's expression was gloomy, "Do you know about the desertification of Quzhou's land?"
Guo Tu immediately understood why he came to him. He had already been worried about this matter for many days. He knelt down at that time, "My lord, it's all the fault of my subordinates."
Yuan Tan asked questions all over his head, "Why do you say that?"
Guo Tu was sweating like rain, and had to wipe off his sweat. "When the Prime Minister chose the fiefdom, he asked for my opinion. I recommended Quzhou. I just found out that the fertile land in Quzhou was seriously desertified."
Fuck!
Pig teammates!
Yuan Tan jumped up against the case and said angrily: "Guo Tu, you idiot. After choosing such a fief, how will hundreds of thousands of people live on it? Seeing so many people die in my fief, how will I face it in the future?" People of the world?"
Guo Tu really didn't dare to say a word, of course he knew the seriousness of the matter.
The fiefdom is the place where money and food are obtained, the treasury.
Now desertification and famine have become a place to consume money and food, and it is still a bottomless pit.
If Yuan Tan didn't care about the people in the fief, all the popularity and fame accumulated over the years would be wiped out.
There will be another infamy.
How to fight for world hegemony.
Yuan Tan is responsible for the blame of hundreds of thousands of people.
Who can move?
"Come on, push Guo Tu out for me and chop it up!"
"Here!"
Without saying a word, Dian Wei went up to hold him by the collar and left.
Guo Tu didn't say a word. His mistake destroyed the foundation of Yuan Tan's struggle for hegemony.
Everyone knows that death is not a pity.
"Wait!"
Guo Jia came out on his knees, "My lord, Guo Tu made a big mistake, it wasn't his intention... he did something bad with good intentions, please spare his life for the sake of his years of hard work, my lord."
Yuan Tan sat down.
Has not spoken.
Guo Tu has never begged for mercy for himself, he really has no face.
"Forget it." Yuan Tan then calmly said, "Someone stumbles, a horse stumbles, let him go, let him go."
Guo Tu burst into tears instantly and went mad.
"Feng Xiao, you can arrange it. I'll go to Quzhou tomorrow to have a look."
After Yuan Tan finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.
Hundreds of thousands of people are waiting to be fed, and there are no crops to grow in the fields. Where do they go to find rations?
A little carelessness can destroy the foundation that has been cultivated for many years.
An hour later.
Yuan Tan's head hurts, and he can't think of a way.
Hundreds of thousands of people are illiterate ordinary people.
What else can you do besides farming?
Chaos and chaos returned to the inner house.
Zhen Ji led a group of maids to catch him, and immediately pressed him down on the mat.
Wiping his face, taking off his shoes and washing his feet, he was cleaned without Yuan Tan moving a finger.
So, let's wait until tomorrow to talk about all the troubles!
...
the next day.
When Yuan Tan woke up early and opened his eyes, his face was frowning.
Half an hour later, still in the spirit of getting up, he walked out of the gate of the mansion. He was going to check the sandy land in Quzhou.
They saw Guo Tu kneeling on the street, behind him were more than a dozen carriages covered with large wooden boxes.
Yuan Tan was taken aback.
Guo Tu didn't say a word, just shed tears and threw himself to the ground.
Guo Jia knew about this a long time ago, but she didn't tell Yuan Tan in advance, and she only whispered it now to protect Guo Tu.
Yuan Tan noticed that Guo Tu's 100 points of loyalty had not changed, and his complexion improved a lot, "Guo Tu, I heard that you sold all your family property, and the mansion was also sold overnight. How many people do you think you can save with this little property?"
Guo Tu continued to throw himself on the ground, trembling all over, and there was a faint cry, which seemed to be very self-blame and grief.
What Yuan Tan said was very heartbreaking, and seeing that his loyalty had not changed, his complexion improved a bit.
Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that if Guo Tu didn't take the initiative to express his position, Yuan Tan would not use him again in the future.
"Help him up for me."
Dian Wei went over and pulled it up.
Yuan Tan went down and stretched out his hand, Guo Jia hurriedly took out his handkerchief and handed it over.
Yuan Tan handed it to Guo Tu.
Guo Tu cried even more and couldn't wipe it away.
Yuan Tan reprimanded, "Do I still owe you this little money? How will your son, wife, and parents live in the future? Isn't this bad for my reputation? Take all these belongings back to me."
"This..." Guo Tu was at a loss as to whether he had forgiven himself or let him go back and hang himself, and these belongings were the widow's maintenance.
Fortunately, Yuan Tan immediately cleared up the confusion, and said: "I heard that you sold the mansion overnight yesterday, and you were killed at a high price, right?"
"This..." Guo Tu was really angry last night. He was the one who blackmailed others in his life, and this was the first time he was blackmailed by others.
"Er Gouzi!" Yuan Tan said angrily.
"The subordinates are here!"
"You take people to that house right away, and give me all Guo Tu's house deed and land deed, and ask for it back with interest. If you dare to take advantage of the fire and rob here under Lao Tzu's hands, you will betray them!"
"Here!"
It is self-evident that the return of the property is not alimony, but a complete forgiveness of Guo Tu.
With these words, everyone was in high spirits.
Follow Yuan Tan on his horse and leave.
Only Guo Tu, who kowtowed, was left behind. From then on, he was ready to sacrifice for Yuan Tan at any time.
But Yuan Tan is tired, it is not easy to win people's hearts.
You have to reward and wipe your ass again.
No wonder so many great sages can't be kings.
Instead, the ruffian Liu Bang and the beggar Zhu Yuanzhang were able to found the country.
This time it was the scapegoat of hundreds of thousands of people, but how can we wipe it off?
