Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 476 Paper Tiger Qin Feng
The gentry of Bingzhou united and planned to "abolish" Qin Feng and welcome Yuan Shao to "be the master of the house".There are too many benefits to the gentry for Yuan Shao to be the master. Yuan Shao is the biggest leader of the gentry, and he will definitely benefit the gentry a lot.

After Qin Feng got the news from the Wang family, he remained silent.

The two military advisers, Xu Shu and Xun Yu, have a heavy heart.They are not afraid of these gentry, but these gentry have private soldiers, and the combined strength is not small.Internal friction will inevitably weaken Qin Feng's strength. If foreign enemies invade, the situation will be very serious.Moreover, the gentry had secretly invited Yuan Shao to send troops.

Qin Feng decided to strike first, these Patriarchs are still in Jinyang City, Qin Feng intends to catch them all.

On the other hand, Nanpi, Yuan Shao's base camp.

"Ah~, the four major families of Bingzhou invited me to send troops?" Yuan Shao was very surprised when he saw the secret letter.

The envoy smiled and said: "Master Yuan is the fourth generation and the third prince. He is actually the leader of the world's gentry. But Qin Zi came from a grassroots background, so he doesn't understand reason. The adults of all families are very eager for Master Yuan to be the master of Bingzhou..."

Guo Tu found that Yuan Shao was still thinking about it, and there was no need to think about this kind of thing at all, so he couldn't help saying: "My lord, don't think about it, this is an excellent opportunity to eliminate Qin Zijin."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao complained, "Excellent opportunity? Every time you say it is an excellent opportunity, every time there is no opportunity."

Everyone thought about it carefully, it was really like this, and they were ashamed immediately.

Yuan Shao thought about it, and he learned to behave himself, so he said to the emissary: ​​"You also know that I have just gone through several battles here, and the consumption is a bit high. How about this, when you start an incident in Bingzhou, there will be chaos in Qin Feng's place. , I will send troops here."

After the Bingzhou gentry wanted Yuan Shao to send troops, they made trouble.But Yuan Shaoxue was smart, and he let the gentry make trouble first, and then he sent troops.

after one day.

Bingzhou Jinyang City.

The day was sunny and sunny.On the open space in front of the State Shepherd's Mansion, a large platform was built.

After the hour of the hour, that is, at nine o'clock.

Qin Feng sat on the stage, and after a while, the three major families of Bingzhou came with many heads.

The three major families, many patriarchs, Zou Zheng, Chai Rong, and Lei Luo, saw the stage and saw a big flag hanging on the stage, which read "Talking about friendship, unity and promoting development conference", they murmured in their hearts, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Qin Feng's gourd.

And Qin Feng warmly greeted them to sit on the table.

Eighteen people took the stage headed by the three major families. "Hou Ye." They didn't dare to lose their manners, and saluted one after another.

Qin Feng kindly returned the gift, but the family heads felt uneasy.Because it's so strange, the two sides have already confronted each other, Qin Feng should be angry, so enthusiastic?
"Hey, where's Mr. Wang?" Zou Zheng asked why the Wang family didn't come.

Qin Feng looked displeased, and said: "The old guy didn't show face, he said he was sick."

The heads of the various families suddenly realized that Wang Ze hadn't attended the gathering of the gentry the day before yesterday, and it seemed that he was really sick.

Everyone sat down on the stage in front of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

In front of Zhoumu Mansion is the busiest street in Jinyang City. With the opening of the market, more and more people have discovered the situation here, and those who are bold come to watch.

The Qin army did not drive away the people, but just pulled a cordon, and the people waited and watched behind the cordon.Boldly took the lead, and after a while too many people came to watch, followed by tens of thousands of people.

Seeing more and more people coming, Qin Feng was not angry but happy, and said: "We must maintain good order."

Zou Zheng and other Patriarchs frowned. Being surrounded by the people, they felt that their noble identities were tainted, but seeing Qin Feng was so happy, they couldn't help cursing inwardly that he was born as a grassroots man, and that dog meat would not be able to serve the banquet.

Lei Luo had a violent temper, so he couldn't help it anymore, and wanted to accuse Qin Feng of being in the same place as the common people, and being watched by crowds, which really harmed the nobility of the gentry.

However, Qin Feng spoke ahead of time, and he raised his hand to signal, "This time, all Patriarchs are invited to come here, just to talk about friendship, promote development through unity, and seek common ground while reserving differences."

The Patriarchs couldn't help but look at the banner on the high place behind Qin Feng again.

The common people in the audience were discussing, "Look, people from the three major families of Bingzhou have come, and the aristocratic families from all counties have come."

"Look at that vicious one, that's Lei Luo, the patriarch of Shangdang's Lei family, nicknamed Leihu, who eats people without spit out bones. Look at that kind-hearted person is Chai Rong from the Xihe Chai family. Don't look at the kind-hearted person, he kills people without blinking an eye. That gentleman is gentle It is Zou Zheng from the Zou family in Yanmen, and it is said that the Zou family has a big dungeon with a mountain of bones inside."

Many people were angry, and they dared not speak out.Although the base camps of each family are local, they have industries in Jinyang City, and the people are deeply poisoned.

"What did Lord Hou call them for? It's still about friendship and unity. Is the policy going to change?"

In fact, when Qin Feng arrived, the common people could also feel that Qin Feng was obstructed by the gentry because of his policy. They were full of expectations, but now, seeing Qin Feng talking with the gentry patriarch in harmony, they felt uncertain.

Talk about friendship and unity?The heads of the various families made eye contact secretly. It is very likely that Qin Feng compromised. With so many people present, it seems that he announced the abolition of the policy in public.As time went by, the owners felt more and more possible, and they couldn't help but become arrogant.

That's right, for hundreds of years, who would dare to fight against the gentry?Even the ancestor of Emperor Guangwu rejuvenated the Han Dynasty because of the support of the gentry. The emperor of the Han Dynasty did not dare, so Qin Zijin was nothing.

On the stage.

Qin Feng praised the heads of the various families, saying that without the gentry, there would be no ZTE in the Han Dynasty of Emperor Guangwu. He got up when he was excited, and said loudly: "You all have to give my heart to this lord. If this lord If there is something wrong, you must point it out. If there is something that makes you dissatisfied, you must tell Ben Hou immediately."

The Patriarchs were overjoyed. It seemed that when they united, Qin Feng was afraid. This was a compromise in disguise, and it must have been made by Qin Feng for the sake of face.

"What are you dissatisfied with?" Qin Feng asked the Patriarchs seated on the left. "Is there anything I need to correct?" He asked sincerely to the Patriarchs seated on the right.

The changes came too fast, and the heads of each family were stunned for a while.

The three masters were still organized, and the polite Zou Zheng stroked his beard and said, "Master Hou, there are too many things you need to correct."

"Oh!" Qin Feng looked happy, his eyebrows jumped up, and said, "Tell me quickly."

Zou Zheng said arrogantly: "Just say that the land policy this time must be corrected." He looked at the people under the audience with disdain, and said without concealing his disgust, "Why do these mud legs own land?"

"It makes sense." The Patriarchs said in unison.

On the side of the platform, Xun Yu sighed and said, "These people deserve to die."

Xu Shu said in admiration: "My lord, this is a great plan. Every family has accumulated power for a long time, and the people are still in fear. Such a public confrontation will make the people angry, and the matter will be easier to handle."

Qin Feng clapped his palms and said with a smile: "That's very good, I wrote it down, and I will see the results immediately. What else are you not satisfied with?"

Originally, the heads of the various families were still wondering whether Qin Feng had a conspiracy, but now seeing Qin Feng's performance, they were completely relieved.

Lei Luo had a violent temper, and said bluntly: "Master Hou, there are still many things that are not satisfactory."

Qin Feng sat down with a smile, waved his hands and said: "Tell me, speak out loud and bold, if you don't say it, how will the Marquis know what to do."

Lei Luo was not polite, and said: "Just talk about the tax policy of Lord Marquis, [-]% of the tax is too little, at least [-]% should be. In addition, since Emperor Guangwu, we have not paid tax."

"That's right, at least [-]% of the tax is charged, and we don't have to pay the tax." The house owners booed one after another.

The corner of Qin Feng's mouth curled up, and he applauded: "Well, well, that's really good, let's continue."

The head of the Chai family, Chai Rong, had a kind face and kind eyes, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, what kind of taxes do you collect? There is no need to collect taxes from these people. For thousands of years, the people have served in corvee and military service, which is their mission to live. There is no need to collect taxes at all. , the output should be completely owned by the gentry and the imperial court, and it is enough to give them a bite to eat, and it can guarantee the harvest in drought and flood, which is simply the best thing."

Qin Feng couldn't help being shocked, this guy looked at Ci Xiang, why was his heart so cruel.The people planted the land, and the harvest all went to the gentry, and they only had one mouthful to eat. It was said that the harvest was guaranteed by drought and flood, which was too strong.

The people were angry and full of worry, their eyes all focused on Qin Feng.

"Old Master Chai's words are very good. It completely solves the worries of the people. It is very in line with Champion Hou's policy of being close to the people. Let's implement it like this."

"Has Master Hou already agreed?" The Patriarchs said one after another.

Qin Feng stretched out his thumb and said, "Okay, okay, this is the most "sharp" policy that the Marquis has ever heard. Is there any other "better" policy?"

The owners of the family became interested, and someone suggested: "Master Hou, you are too tired to govern alone, why not assign the counties to our families and help Master Hou govern. We will definitely support Lord Hou with all our strength. Money needs food and food needs people.”

Qin Feng was even more shocked. After co-authoring, all the territories he conquered belonged to the gentry.The gentry donated money, people, food, and what would he do if he couldn't do so?This is simply robbing the class and seizing power, and it is so righteous and awe-inspiring.

Qin Feng said in his heart that he really deserves to be a nobleman, and he doesn't care about anything except for his own family.The control of the gentry in the Jin Dynasty reached its peak, and this policy was almost implemented.As a result, the court had no money and food to develop its national strength, and when something happened to the court, the gentry did not pay money and food, leading to great turmoil.

The gentry at the end of the Han Dynasty and the landlords at the end of the Ming Dynasty are all typical examples of harming the public and benefiting private interests.As long as they support them, they can perish the country.These people are also short-sighted. When the country perishes, they become fat lambs to be slaughtered.

"Okay, okay, that's very good." Qin Feng stood in the middle of the stage, clapped his hands and said with a smile.

The people were angry and terrified.Has the great savior changed?Want to join forces?The people suddenly lost hope, but an undercurrent surged again.

Under the leadership of the three major families, the heads of the various families raised their teacups one after another, and used tea instead of wine to celebrate this event.They also felt that Qin Feng was so cute, despite his superficial toughness, he turned out to be a paper tiger.Before he got serious, he softened.
