I support the army through farming and business.

Chapter 118 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

"You!" Boss Tian was tongue-tied and didn't know how to retort. His face flushed red as he ran to find the manager to make the decision.

Seeing that Tian Lao Da couldn't say a word for a long time and was as cowardly as a three-year-old child who had no choice but to run back home to seek support, Li Dalang became even more arrogant.

"Hahahaha, he always says that we did something wrong, and I thought he was so awesome, but it turns out he's just a coward!"

The people on the side burst into laughter.

People not far away looked at the people in Fuxin Village taking a break with envy, "Boss, let's take a break too."

"What the hell are you doing resting? You've only been working for a short time, and you're already resting! Hurry up and dig some holes for me. If you don't finish digging three holes this morning, no one gets to rest at noon!"

The man was scolded and worked hard to dig the hole.

Sun Qing and Song Kaizheng discussed the plan with the blueprint in hand. "It's been eight days. The pit and the weeds and manure are almost ready. We can start mixing and sealing it."

"Yeah," Song Kai agreed, "if it's any later, there won't be enough time for fermentation, and spring plowing will be delayed."

Sun Qing put away the map and said, "During lunch break, I will call the team leaders and tell them the next arrangements."

Boss Tian ran over and saw the village head and the manager talking. He didn't dare to go forward and stood not far away, looking around.

Sun Qing sighed. Look at how the Tian family spoils their men. How come they are grown men and can do nothing but work?
"What are you standing there for? Come over here!" Sun Qing waited until Boss Tian came closer and asked, "Why are you here if you're not watching those sneaky guys from Fuxin Village digging a hole?"

Boss Tian drily recounted the story of Li Dalang leading the strike.

Sun Qing's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Boss Tian nodded.

"After waiting for so many days, it's finally here!" Sun Qing said excitedly, "Let's go! Let's go meet this Li Dalang!"

Boss Tian felt that the village head was so angry that he was confused, otherwise why would he be so happy when he heard that someone was disobedient.

"Go back. You don't have to worry about Li Dalang's affairs." Song Kai patted his shoulder. "You have done a great job this time."

Didn't he make any mistakes? What merits did he accomplish? When Tian Lao Da returned with confused eyes, Manager Sun was spitting and cursing Li Da Lang.

"If you rent the Song clan land, you must obey the princess's orders. Do whatever she tells you to do! You have no right to be picky!"

"You don't like digging holes, right? Fine! Then go dig manure for me! That's easy work!"

Li Dalang's face twisted when he heard the word "dung". He smiled apologetically and said, "Look, manager, it's not that we're not working, we're just tired and need a break."

Sun Qing's voice was even louder. "What are you tired of? You're tired after just one morning's work! Why didn't you feel full when you ate seven or eight bean dregs cakes this morning?"

Li Dalang, who was spoiled by his parents and respected by his wife at home and praised by the villagers in the village, had long developed the temper of a spoiled brat. His face immediately turned ugly.

"Master Sun, I respect you as the Princess's man, so I call you Master, but please don't go too far!"

Li Dalang said in a gruff voice, "No matter how poor we are, we are still decent citizens. No matter how powerful you are, you are nothing but a slave!"

In Dayu, slaves are worse than refugees!

"What's more, I'm the next village chief of Fuxin Village, so I'm working for the court. It's unacceptable for a servant like you to point your finger at me and scold me, isn't it?"

Steward Sun sneered, "I'm disciplining you on behalf of the princess!"

"No matter how noble the princess is, she is just a woman in the harem. Since ancient times, men have been the gods, especially in matters like farming where men make the decisions and put in the effort. It would be best for the princess to stay out of it." "How dare you!" Steward Sun was really angry now. "How dare you disrespect the princess?"

"Steward, please don't accuse me. I was never disrespectful to the princess. I was just speaking the truth." Li Dalang spread his hands. "If you really think I was disrespectful to the princess, then we ask Lord Lu to judge!"

Lu Ying, who had just rushed over when he was called out, said: I’m so angry!

He still wanted to judge the truth? He wanted to kill him!
"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about? Get back to work! If we don't finish this morning's work, no one will be allowed to eat!" Lu Ying said, "Li Dalang, why don't you lead the people in your village to work? You are the ones who are always cheating and playing tricks all day long. Your village is the worst at work!"

In front of the prefect, Li Dalang lost his arrogance instantly. After trying to hold back, he couldn't help but say, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's just that this job is unnecessary!"

"Although we rent the land of the princess, we are still good citizens. No matter how noble the princess' servants are, they can't scold good citizens."

This is true, but Lu Ying said, "Weren't you the ones who were lazy first?"

"Yes, but we are really too tired! Even tenant farmers can't be treated like donkeys, let alone we are good citizens, don't you think?"

Lu Ying thought to himself, "You're such a big-headed devil!" He was about to teach him a lesson when he heard a voice behind him, "Since you don't want to do it, I won't force you. Come on, collect their tools and keep them under guard."

"Yes!" The palace guards pounced on him like wolves and tigers.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Li Dalang shouted, "Master Lu, Master Lu, please help me!"

Lu Ying was also startled, "Princess Zhaoshan, please calm down!"

"This princess is not angry," Tang Zhao said, stepping around Lu Ying. "This princess thinks he is right. They are good citizens, not tenants of the manor. There is no reason for them to work for this princess."

"This princess doesn't want to force others to do anything. Since they don't want to do it, then don't do it."

Li Dalang's surprise turned into joy, and the people watching around him also became restless.

Who wants to work? If they can quit by just asking, they would be willing to do so.

A smile and arrogance returned to Li Dalang's face, "As expected of the princess, she is truly virtuous and kind!"

Tsk! It turns out that the princess is just like the women at home, both of them are soft-hearted and let men squeeze and flatten them.

Seeing Li Dalang's arrogant look, Chaoyi grabbed the sword at his waist and was about to go up.

Tang Zhao glanced sideways, and Chao Yi stopped tactfully.

Tang Zhao looked around and said, "If anyone else doesn't want to do this, take this opportunity to speak up so they don't keep it bottled up in their hearts."

People from Fuxin Village rushed to step forward, and there were also people from other villages who were ready to make a move, but they were all suppressed by the village chief.

Tang Zhao continued to ask, "Is there any more? This is the only chance. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being rude."

Several more people from Fuxin Village stood up.

"Sun Qing, write them all down," Tang Zhao said with a smile, "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it."

The people of Fuxin Village were ecstatic, while the people of other villages were filled with regret.

Tang Zhao's expression suddenly changed. "Come here, throw the villagers of Fuxin Village out for this princess. Never set foot on the Song family's land in your lifetime!"

The villagers of Fuxin Village were lifted up by the palace guards under the horrified gaze of the crowd.

Zhao Zhao: Just wait and see how I deal with you bunch of troublemakers!
