The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 211

What?Everyone present was startled when they heard the words, and looked at Lin Yifan, for fear that he would agree.One must know that it has been less than half a year since Hengshan rescued the people from the Golden Wolf, and the people have not really returned their hearts.If it is open to mutual relocation, the situation will be very unfavorable to Hengshan. According to the nature of the Central Plains people, the so-called homeland is hard to leave. There must be many people who miss their hometown and leave everything in Hengshan to return to their homeland.

Lin Yifan's face suddenly became very ugly, and he looked at Ye Hongyu coldly, without saying a word for a long time.In fact, there are many thoughts in my heart, weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

Li Yuan, who was sitting by the side, saw the ugly faces of the people in Hengshan, and was very proud. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised with a mocking look, and his eyes were full of approval when he looked at Ye Hongyu.

"My lord, this is their poisonous scheme. This is absolutely unacceptable." Under the urging of everyone, Luo Yi stood up and said.

"Hey, what this general said is wrong. This condition was proposed by your lord. We just added a small request to it. It's only fair. Master Lin, what do you think?" Li Yuan hehe laughed straight, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

"Hmph, old man, we will never do what you want in this matter." Luo Yi glared at Li Yuan viciously, and said with a smirk, "Now that we have a large number of people, at worst we can capture Jing'an City and wipe out you all in one fell swoop." The Li family, when the time comes, there will be no need to relocate."

"You, do you dare?" Li Yuan was startled, his face paled, and immediately realized that the crisis had not yet been resolved, and he was in a dangerous place. It would be too unwise to force the opponent at this time.Feeling quite regretful in his heart, he couldn't help looking at Ye Hongyu, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, why don't we..."

Ye Hongyu sighed slightly. This was exactly what he was worried about. Negotiations have always been relatively fair results only when the strengths are equal.Now that our own side is weak, it is impossible to get a fair negotiation, and now we can only maximize some benefits for our lord.For the mutual relocation of the people, he did not guarantee any hope from the beginning, he just wanted to use this trick to force the other party to make concessions. "Master Lin, if you don't agree, then let's leave the third clause here, and we can discuss the other three conditions."

"Heh, who said I disagree?" Lin Yifan raised his head slowly at this time, looked directly at Ye Hongyu, with a confident look in his eyes, and sneered, "The third article, as you said, the people on both sides, You can freely choose where you want to move.”

"What? My lord, absolutely not."

"At this time, it's about the foundation of Hengshan, so don't give in easily."

"My lord, why don't we just kill this old dog, then break into Jing'an City, and completely recover Anzhou."

When everyone heard the words, they were very anxious, and they all advised and remonstrated.

"That's the matter, everyone, don't say anything else." Lin Yifan snorted coldly, and said decisively.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin is wise, this matter is settled." Li Yuan grinned and said.For fear that Lin Yifan would go back on his word.

When Ye Hongyu heard this, he looked at Lin Yifan in surprise, his brows were tightly frowned, and doubts appeared in his eyes.This Master Lin actually agreed, and he agreed so readily. What kind of conspiracy is behind this?
After Lin Yifan tried his best to overcome all opinions, the negotiation between the two parties finally proceeded smoothly.After an hour of repeated negotiations, an agreement that both parties were satisfied with was finally negotiated.

As a condition for withdrawing troops, in addition to releasing them unconditionally, the Li family also had to compensate the Hengshan Army with 100 million taels of silver and [-] shi of grain and grass.At the same time, the two sides signed a series of business-friendly policies to strengthen the business exchanges between the two places.In the end, some details were carried out on the population exchanges between the two places, and an agreement was reached on the exchanges between the people of the two places.

After the two parties signed the agreement, Li Yuan returned to Jing'an City happily with the results of the negotiation.

Looking at the figure of the other party going away, Luo Yi on the side couldn't help it, "Sir, why did you agree to move the people to each other? This matter is obviously harmful to Hengshan, but not beneficial, you..."

"Is there really no benefit?" Lin Yifan turned to look at Luo Yi and interrupted him, "Now Hengshan implements many policies to benefit the people. Now the common people in our Hengshan County can not only own their own land and houses, At least three years of tax exemption, and even, we are still trying to form a new family for them. Life in Hengshan is far better than what they lived in their hometown before. Isn’t this enough for them to settle in Hengshan? ?”

"My lord, that's what I said, but everyone has a feeling of homesickness. Once the people of the two places move to each other, I'm afraid some of my subordinates will abandon everything in Hengshan and return to their hometown." Luo Yi's eyes showed worry Said, "Originally our population in Hengshan is very thin, and the huge Xiazhou grassland is completely uninhabited. If someone leaves Hengshan, how much of our population will be left?"

"What you said makes sense, but it's not necessarily correct." Lin Yifan looked towards Jing'an City with his hands behind his back, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "I don't know if my father-in-law has noticed that during our journey south, the vast things we saw along the way Most of them are ragged and haggard people. Their lives have not improved because of the retreat of the Golden Werewolf and the rule of the Li family. After experiencing the ravages of the Golden Werewolf, Anzhou has been dilapidated. In order to strengthen their strength, the Li family needs a foothold in the south of Anzhou, and even conquers Huazhou, they need countless food, grass, materials, money and soldiers. And where these come from, they can only be snatched from the hands of the people. I heard that, In order to go south to attack Huazhou, the Li family has searched the area they controlled several times, and expanded the army by [-] desperately, trying to break through the Jishan Pass and take over Huazhou. As a result, the people under his rule are so poor that they are almost unable to survive. Father-in-law, tell me, if the people of Hengshan came here to take a look, would they still want to stay here?"

"This?" Luo Yi immediately had something to say, but he felt that what Lin Yifan said seemed reasonable, "My lord's words are reasonable, but my subordinates are still worried that once the mutual relocation is opened, there will inevitably be turmoil in Hengshan."

"Temporary turmoil is certain, but I believe that the final result must be what we want to see." Lin Yifan smiled slightly, "With comparison, the common people will know which place is the best choice for them. His heart will truly surrender to us. And with the mutual publicity among the common people, our policies of benefiting the people in Hengshan can also be widely spread in the Li family's forces, attracting more people in the Li family's forces to move to Hengshan In this way, we can attract more people to enrich Xiazhou without spending a penny or a grain of food. Tell me, are we making money or losing money in this matter?"

"Of course we made the money." Luo Yi suddenly realized, and couldn't help smiling excitedly. "only...."

Luo Yi suddenly thought of something, the joy on his face faded immediately, and he said worriedly, "This matter will definitely not last long, and the Li family is not a fool. Once they see their people running away, they will definitely stop it or tear it up." Agreement, when the time comes, what shall we do?"

"If it really comes to that point, the only option is to fight." Lin Yifan said coldly, "If they dare to prevent the people from migrating, then we will go south again and put pressure on them. If they dare to tear up the agreement, Hmph, then the day the agreement is torn up is the day when the Li family will perish."

"Oh, my lord, in fact, with our current strength, we can completely take down the Li family's forces in one fell swoop. Since it is so troublesome, why not..." Luo Yi sighed. Interest, not good at it.As a soldier, what he hopes most is to lead his troops to conquer the country and rule the world.

"Father-in-law, I actually think about it too." Lin Yifan smiled wryly, "It's just that it's not the time yet, our foundation is not solid, our strength is not very strong, and we must not be the first birds. The Li family is our southern barrier. , has its own value, and it cannot be moved lightly for the time being, and even when necessary, some support will be given so that they can last a little longer and fight for us to go south and buy time."

"That's right. I'm getting old and I don't have much time. I really hope that this day will come sooner." Luo Yi nodded and said with emotion.

"This day won't be too long." Lin Yifan said calmly, looking at Jing'an City.
