Chapter 1148
After entering the inner courtyard of the Ye family, you still want to run?
It's just that the newcomers, big and small, don't have this idea. Anyway, Night Breeze is really good and different, so they are willing.
A day later, Night Breeze left the comfortable Baishan City again, took Xu Zhu and a thousand Baishanwei by boat along the river to the east, out of the Yellow River, and went south along the coast to the North Sea of Qingzhou. At Laizhou Bay, he changed buildings and boats. Enter Beihai County along the river, disembark at the pier closest to Beihai Pingshou City, and ride to Pingshou City with 1,000 Bai Shanwei.
At noon that day, he arrived outside Pingshou City. At this time, Kong Rong had already received the news and brought the civil and military officials of Pingshou City to meet Night Breeze 5 miles away from the east gate.
"Hahaha! Please, Brother Wenju, go out of the city to welcome you. How can this be done?"
Seeing Kong Rong and his party from a distance waiting for the scorching sun not far ahead, Night Breeze stepped on his horse and led the people forward, stopped 10 meters away from Kong Rong, got off his horse, and walked over. He left, smiling and apologizing to Kong Rong.
"Make it! Make it! Ziyun is an outstanding person, as it should be!"
Kong Rong did not neglect either, and greeted him with civil and military officials with a smile on his face.
If nothing else happened, he would have to make a living under Night Breeze's command in the future, so Kong Rong would naturally not mess around. He has always been a "good old man!" Great surprise.
tut tut!
It's not unreasonable for the Kong family to prosper for so many years, at least Night Breeze can't find much fault in his dealings with others.
"The city gate is still far away here, and the weather is so hot, why don't I get on my horse and enter the city early to talk?"
Looking at the sweaty faces of Kong Rong and the others, Night Breeze suggested with a smile.
He didn't care much about the distance of 5 miles. As a master at the peak of the master, he didn't have to take a breath at this distance. He also considered for Kong Rong and the others.
"That's fine! That's fine!"
Kong Rong didn't refute Night Breeze's good intentions, and immediately called all the civil and military officials under him to mount their horses. After that, he and Night Breeze rode on horseback, heading towards Pingshou City without any haste.
Those civil and military officials in Pingshou City also rode behind Ye Feng and Kong Rong as if they had received an amnesty. They felt inexplicably more fond of Ye Feng, the future master, in their hearts.
At least from Night Breeze's behavior just now, it wasn't difficult to get along with, and they felt relieved.
Beihai's return to Night Breeze was not only about Kong Rong, but also about their future.
A group of people chatted like this, and after a while, they rode their horses to the outside of Pingshou City, and then entered the city smoothly, and went straight to Kong Rong's mansion.
"Haha! Ziyun! Please take your seat!"
After entering the Confucius Mansion, Kong Rong warmly greeted Night Breeze, Xu Chu and the others into the hall. The banquet had already been prepared inside, and Kong Rong directly welcomed Night Breeze to the main seat.
"Haha! Then I won't be polite! Anyway, we will be a family from now on!"
Night Breeze didn't refuse, and sat down directly in the main seat, while Kong Rong sat in the second seat, and accompanied Night Breeze.
"Come on! Let me offer Ziyun a cup first!"
When everyone was seated, Kong Rong toasted Ye Feng with a toast, but Ye Feng didn't refuse and raised his glass in return.
After that, the officials and representatives of the gentry on the Beihai side also toasted Night Breeze one after another, and Night Breeze never refused anyone who came.
In return, after drinking dozens of glasses of wine, I didn't feel drunk at all.
"Master Ye! I am a little confused. I don't know if I should ask or not?"
After drinking for three rounds, at this moment, a representative of the Beihai gentry stood up and asked Night Breeze.
"Oh? If you have any doubts, just ask!"
Night Breeze glanced at the man and said with a smile.
He can basically guess what these people want to ask, and he doesn't care, he already has a way to deal with it.
Kong Rong looked at these from the sidelines, but just smiled and didn't say a word. Beihai was not his Kong family's monologue, and he would discuss his interests with Ye Feng alone. These gentry were different from him. .
"Then thank Mr. Overnight!"
The man cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and then said: "What I want to ask is also what our gentry and officials in Beihai want to ask. I don't know how the policies of our Beihai counties are under Lord Ye's command? What should we do? ?”
"Yes! Yes! Master Ye! As far as I know, the policies implemented by Master Ye in Jizhou and Bingzhou are relatively harsh for us gentry, right?"
"I heard that most of the land will be confiscated!"
At the beginning of the man, the other representatives of the gentry below also got up and talked.
After all, they were worried about the arrival of Night Breeze, and the new policy would harm their interests.
Of course, when they said it, they were also a little cautious, for fear of offending Night Breeze and making Night Breeze angry. They knew that the Ye family was powerful, and they just wanted to win some benefits, but they had no intention of opposing Night Breeze.
"hehe!"
Night Breeze watched with a smile as these people came out to ask questions one by one. He didn't rush to express his opinion. After all these people had finished speaking, he raised his hand and pressed down, signaling for everyone to be quiet. Only then did he answer: "Your worries, I have basically understood! Bingzhou is relatively special, let alone, I believe you also know the policies I implemented in Jizhou!"
"I know this!"
The representatives of the gentry nodded and replied, then calmed down and waited for Night Breeze's next words.
"Well! It's good to know!"
Night Breeze nodded, and continued, "I'll have someone write down the specific policies and send them to you for review! Let me mainly talk about land policies now."
"Presumably you are also mainly concerned about this!"
right!
Everyone nodded again, and Night Breeze continued: "Then you should know that the land policy of the six counties that Jizhou belonged to me earlier seemed to be unfavorable to the gentry, but now the gentry in Jizhou have not suffered any real losses, but have become richer and richer. Strong!"
"In the past, everyone expanded the land wantonly for the stability and growth of the family, but under my command, next, Night Breeze explained to everyone present the benefits of the New Deal he tried in detail, mainly to let those The gentry farmer turned to business, breaking away from the pursuit of land."
As a result, after an hour of detailed explanation, all the gentry present also roughly understood the truth, and no one stood up to oppose it.
Maybe there will be incomplete understanding and some dissatisfaction!
But because of Night Breeze's strength and unstoppable situation, they could only grit their teeth to adapt to Night Breeze's words, thinking about how to cater to the New Deal.
After eating and drinking for half an hour, the banquet ended.
"If Ziyun doesn't mind, let's go to the pavilion in the mansion to drink tea and chat for a while?"
After the banquet, Kong Rong also wanted Night Breeze to send out an invitation, and the other people's affairs were basically settled, and then it was his Kong family's affairs.
