Zhao Kehu did not get out of the carriage, and Zhao Jinfeng accompanied his father in the carriage.

Wu Sanfeng and Wu Xuexia never got off the carriage.

Only the four of them were seated in two carriages.

It was a beautiful morning, facing the rising sun, and the fields where there was nothing were covered with frost, and when I looked up, I was blocked by a faint vitality not far away, and the country roads made people's hearts clear and translucent.

The biting cold wind no longer howled arbitrarily, and the withered yellow leaves danced all over the sky, freezing people's hands and feet.

Winter is always disturbed by these scenes. Life is also as changeable as the scenery at this time, and no one is always smooth and smooth.

The beauty of time exists all the time, but most of the time people turn a blind eye, magnifying the pain and wasting time.

The two carriages were in the back row, but because they were taller than the crowd, and Wei Bao was standing on a large stone pier, it was a high place, so the four of them could clearly see everything at the scene.

At this time, listening to Zhao Yuanhua's words, he secretly thought that Wei Bao had no choice!

Zhao Kehu and Zhao Jinfeng were worried about Wei Bao, while Wu Sanfeng and Wu Xuexia were happy to see Wei Bao's embarrassing situation.

"Look what he has to say this time! Big brother, do you know that this Wei Bao is really good at speaking, and he can tell him that he is alive if he dies. Wu Xuexia said to Wu Sanfeng.

Wu Sanfeng smiled slightly: "People who do small business, which mouth can't say?" If you can't say it, how can you make money? But now is the time not to talk about it, but to rely on money! You have to have money, otherwise, these five or six thousand people are really fighting with him today, and there will be a good show to watch! ”

"Yes, his people can fight again, and they really want to kill people, and neither of them is pleased! When the time comes, we will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Wu Xuexia smiled and squinted at Wei Bao in the distance.

Wei Bao, who was 100 meters away, stood on the stone pier, like a roadside vendor, pressed his hand, signaling the scene to be quiet.

This time, a group of Li Zheng, A Chang and the rich people were very cooperative, and quickly suppressed the people under them, and soon restored the order of the scene.

"You want to find someone desperately, and you can't find me, right?" Wei Bao smiled and said to a group of villagers: "You owe me money? Did I force you to pay back? More than a month ago, I remember that it was here that I was almost forced to go out and escape the famine! However, if I am really forced to that point, I will not find unrelated people, and if I really can't stay here, before I leave, I must have found my creditor, burned his house, burned the arrears, and then fled! And not to go to the creditor's creditor's creditor! You haven't even spoken to me, you don't know me at all, have you come to me? ”

A group of villagers suddenly felt that Wei Bao's words were reasonable, indeed, no matter what, they had nothing to do with Wei Bao, and they couldn't find Wei Bao's head anyway, so they couldn't come to Wei Bao for anything because Wei Bao was rich now, right?

Zhao Yuanhua said angrily: "Wei Bao! You're inciting trouble! According to the Da Ming Law, setting fire to other people's houses is a death sentence! If you incite everyone to make trouble, it is also a death sentence! ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Death penalty? How old are you? Do you represent the Great Ming Law? How many paragraphs of the Da Ming Law say that I instigated everyone to make trouble? Also, which ear can you hear that I'm inciting people to make trouble! What I just said is, if I can't stay in the township, what does it matter to you what I thought before I went out to flee the famine? ”

Wei Bao can argue with his tongue, and he sealed all Zhao Yuanhua's words in just two sentences, and made Zhao Yuanhua's face full of iron, coughed, and actually coughed up a lot of blood.

A group of Li Zheng, A Chang and the rich people were shocked, they didn't know that Zhao Yuanhua was kicked by Wei Bao's people yesterday, and they thought that Wei Bao could vomit blood in a few words? They all wondered, is it that the gods are starting to make trouble? Everyone was terrified.

"Wei Gongzi, you are forcing us all to leave, and we are all going to sue the official! If you force us with family backgrounds, aren't you just forcing these five or six thousand villagers? "Dongbai Tali is Bai Pengfu.

"Wei Gongzi, can you increase the salary by five times, so that the tenant farmers can pay us off with more silver?" Houmafang is doing the road in the right place.

Wei Bao smiled: "You guys have it yourself, why don't you give more wages?" Is there such a rule? Okay, this is none of my business, but considering the friendship of the villagers, I will say a charter, how about everyone take a look!? ”

With Wei Bao's words, the scene was silent, for fear that the voice would be loud and he would not be able to hear Wei Bao speak, and they all wanted to know what ideas Wei Gongzi would come up with.

Wu Sanfeng and Wu Xuexia were in the window of their carriage, listening attentively.

Zhao Kehu and Zhao Jinfeng were also listening carefully to Wei Bao at the window of their carriage.

I'm afraid of missing a word.

Wu Xuexia and Zhao Jinfeng glanced at each other, and Wu Xuexia immediately twisted her pretty face away and didn't look at Zhao Jinfeng.

"You owe all usury, and the villagers who owe you debts are hungry, so where will you have the money to pay your debts? If you follow this method, you won't be able to settle the accounts even in another three hundred years! You might as well transfer all the arrears to me!" I'll take you 20% of what you owe! Pay 10% first, and after 3 years, I will pay the rest of the 10%! What do you think? "Wei Bao threw his pawn! Originally, he wanted to buy it at half the price, but Wei Bao temporarily changed his mind and felt that he would throw out two percent first and see the situation! If it was really calculated at half the price, based on the total price of 600,000 taels, half would be 300,000 taels of silver, and half of 300,000 taels of silver would be 150,000 taels of silver, and he wouldn't be able to take out so much now.

But if there are only two taels, two percent of 600,000 taels of silver is 120,000 taels, and half of 120,000 taels is 60,000 taels, and he can take out this silver now, in that case, the matter can be solved satisfactorily!

Wei Bao's words immediately caused a frying on the spot, and the people were crazy to support it! They know the Wei family's personality, and they all know Wei Bao's armor, not only can they solve the problem of food and clothing now, but also get many people from outside to do things! If Wei Bao can't do it, how can so many people follow him?

They followed a group of Li Zheng, Jia Chang and rich people, which year did they not force a bunch of people to die? If the landlords want to sleep with their wives and daughters, they will go to whose house to sleep, where is the life of a human being?

Therefore, the villagers couldn't help but applaud.

A group of Li Zheng, Jia Chang and the rich people frowned and thought about Wei Bao's words, most of them were shaking their heads, Wei Bao wanted to use 20% to collect the arrears in their hands? It's not a good deal!

"Wei Gongzi, two percent is too low! The silver we lent out was real money! Dongbai Tali Zheng Bai Pengfu said with a bitter face: "Can you add one plus?" How about eighty percent of silver? You pay us 40% first! After two or three years, the remaining 40% will be paid off, which will also do. ”

Bai Pengfu's words immediately attracted a positive response from a group of Li Zheng, A Chang and wealthy households, all saying that this method was good.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "The debt is a matter between you and the villagers, and it has nothing to do with me!" I didn't want to take care of it, but if you insist on relying on me, I'll just dismiss everyone and go out to do business! But I want to tell you, all the land here is mine, you can't go to my land at will, you will sue the officials, will I not sue the officials? Do you know how heavy the criminal law is for violating other people's land in the Ming Law? ”

Wei Bao's method of breaking the jar and breaking it was thrown out, which was equivalent to completely putting a bunch of Lizheng, Jiachang and rich people to the general to checkmate!

The common people scolded a group of Lizheng, Jiachang and rich households, originally they have no land now, just because they have arrears, the common people are not too afraid of them, they all said that Wei Gongzi was forced to ignore this matter, it is a big deal that everyone went out to escape the famine, so that these Lizheng, Jiachang and rich families will not want to collect any more copper coins from now on!

Wei Bao saw that a group of Lizheng, Jiachang and rich people were silently scolded by the common people, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe two percent of the silver was too much, looking at the situation, one percent of the silver, it is estimated that they all have to agree. However, Wei Bao didn't want to force these gang of Lizheng, Jiachang and rich people too much, he really forced them to be anxious, and it was not good for them to break up in two, and it was not good for themselves, if there was too little silver, they would not care, and after not caring, they would unite together and fight with themselves for a long time, attracting more than 200 enemies at once, more than 200 people plus their families, that is, more than 2,000 people, and it was not a comfortable thing to make 2,000 enemies.

"This matter is not a trivial matter, I think everyone will disperse first! It just so happens that my family is singing a big opera today, and I invite Li Zheng, Jia Chang and the rich families to sit in my house, give them a day to think about it, and then gather here at this time tomorrow, I believe that at that time, Li Zheng, Jia Chang and the rich families will give you an answer. Wei Bao said to the villagers.

The villagers talked about it.

Wei Bao saw that his prestige was still not enough to manipulate the local villagers, so he had to say to a group of Lizheng, Jiachang and rich households: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

"Since Wei Gongzi said so, let's think about it for a day, right? It's really stiff, it's not good for anyone, I think what Wei Gongzi said has some truth. "Houmafang is doing his best.

Dongbai Tali is Bai Pengfu, and he is the only one except for Hou Lihou Lixing in Houmafang and Zhao Kehu in Jinshan, because Qin Kangshun is dead!

Bai Pengfu saw that Zhao Kehu and Wei Bao seemed to have some relationship, and also saw that although Zhao Kehu did not help each other openly, he was towards Wei Bao everywhere, and now Hou Lixing seemed to have this meaning, secretly thinking that these two people were thieves! This is to see that Wei Bao is powerful, and he wants to curry favor with Wei Bao! If Lao Tzu continues to be his own, he will definitely not be able to please him, so he also followed: "Yes, since Wei Gongzi said so, let's listen to Wei Gongzi, right?" The neighbors have dispersed first, wait for us to discuss it for a day today, and tell you tomorrow! ”

The two Li Zheng both spoke, and the chief and the rich could only echo it, and persuaded the villagers to disperse first, let them discuss it for a day, and then talk about it at this time tomorrow.

As a result, a group of villagers gradually dispersed, and praised Wei Baoyi loudly as they walked, being responsible, and willing to think about their neighbors.

All of a sudden, Wei Bao's local reputation rose infinitely!

This made Wu Xuexia and Wu Sanfeng, who were waiting in the carriage to watch the excitement, angry, the two of them really didn't expect things to develop to this point?

Every step taken by Wei Bao seems to be carefully designed, step by step, in accordance with the direction that is beneficial to Wei Bao!

"Brother, did I say it? This Wei Bao is so cunning! Wu Xuexia said angrily.

Wu Sanfeng's fists clenched and gurgled, "It's very cunning!" I didn't expect that we could produce such people in the countryside of western Liaoning, who are even more cunning than those southern barbarians! ”

"What are we going to do now?" Wu Xuexia asked.

"I don't know, let someone inform Daddy of the matter here! We still have to investigate the matter of the poison fog! In addition, we must stop a group of Li Zheng, Jia Chang and rich people from selling all the arrears in their hands to Wei Bao! If Wei Bao gets both the land and the five or six thousand villagers, then he will really become the biggest family in western Liaoning! The local power is so great that it can even compete with us and our ancestors! Wu Sanfeng said. He couldn't figure out how someone could develop so quickly in just over a month so easily? The speed exceeds the development accumulation of his family for hundreds of years?

Wu Xuexia nodded, and there was no particularly good way.

"Let's go, let's go and hear what he has to sing!" Wu Sanfeng said in a deep voice.

Wu Xuexia sighed helplessly, it turned out that at home, she was full of superiority, and felt that her wisdom was enough to match men, but here in Wei Bao, she felt that she was at a disadvantage everywhere, which was a feeling she had never felt before.

Zhao Jinfeng in the other carriage was overjoyed, and said to Zhao Kehu with a smile: "Dad, I really didn't expect Wei Bao to solve it like this?" It's good for both parties. ”

Zhao Kehu sneered: "What's the benefit?" The arrears in our hands were more than 5,000 taels of silver! If you hit it in two, there will only be one thousand taels of silver left, and more than four thousand taels of silver will fly away at once, are you still happy!? ”

Wu Xuexia smiled slightly: "I'll tell Wei Bao and let him compensate his father, I think he will agree." ”

"Oh?" When Zhao Kehu heard this, he glanced at Zhao Jinfeng deeply, "Does Wei Bao listen to you like this?" ”

Zhao Jinfeng knew that he was speechless, avoiding his father's gaze, his face was red with shame, yes, why did Wei Bao listen to his own words?

"You're a girl, it's better not to meet Wei Bao in private in the future. If Wei Bao wants to marry you, tell me. Zhao Kehu said.

"Dad, what do you say? When did I meet Wei Bao in private? Didn't Miss Wu have to go to Wei Bao's A to listen to the play last night, and pulled me to accompany her? Zhao Jinfeng said coquettishly.

"Let's go, let's go to the theater too, and listen to what kind of drama Wei Bao is going to sing? I'm still the one in the book, and I have a part in this. Zhao Kehu said.

Zhao Jinfeng hummed happily, "Dad, you must help Wei Bao speak, and you must let others follow Wei Bao's wishes, otherwise if Wei Bao really doesn't care, not only will everyone's silver be gone, but also our large area, no one will cultivate it from now on, everyone will go to the famine, and it will really become an abandoned land." ”

"I know all these truths, but Wei Bao is too ruthless! Twenty percent of the silver, this is stripping the hearts of the four of us! Zhao Kehu said worriedly: "Everyone may not be able to agree easily, and it is inconvenient for me to say too much, if I say too much, everyone will know that I have a heart for Wei Bao, and it may backfire." ”

Zhao Jinfeng sighed, although he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was delicate, and he understood what his father meant as soon as he heard it, "Anyway, Daddy wants to be towards Wei Bao in his heart and secretly help Wei Bao." That's it. ”

Zhao Kehu got out of the carriage, sneered, and then looked at Zhao Jinfeng jokingly: "It's really a big girl." ”

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Zhao Jinfengjiao held her father's arm angrily and accompanied him out of the car.

After the villagers gradually left, Wei Bao enthusiastically talked with a group of Lizheng, Jiachang and wealthy households, he valued the locals, including these people with family backgrounds! Wei Bao did not think from the perspective of the proletarians to the landlords, but from the perspective of the big capitalists and the small capitalists.

In Wei Bao's view, these people are potential small capitalists, and they are the objects that need to be co-opted and developed together, otherwise his strength alone will be a hundred years of development, and it is impossible for a country to produce huge changes under his own strength! This is the difference between Wei Bao and the male protagonists who have passed through rebirth and watched before.

Wei Bao not only has the concept of class, but also has a unique concept of class, capitalism is by no means just a four-word noun, in this, there is the problem of the transformation of the means of production and the relations of production.

In Wei Bao's eyes, there is no distinction between outsiders and locals, in his opinion, they are all useful, as long as they are useful. It goes without saying that locals have a greater sense of belonging because they live in the local area, but because they have a ready-made property to live in, they may be a little less effective in terms of effort. If outsiders want to take root here, they need to work harder, but if they are close to their hometown and work hard, their sense of belonging will be a little worse.

Therefore, whether it is a local or a foreigner, there are advantages and disadvantages, what Wei Bao needs to do is to integrate, so that they can all surrender to their own system and work together to develop!

And these potential small capitalists are a symbol of the advanced class! The landlord class is a decadent and backward class, and if the landlord can evolve into capital, this will be a great change in itself! The change of identity and ideology is a big subject for Wei Bao.

"Let's listen to the drama today, let go of the troublesome things first, and we must be happy in life." Wei Bao smiled very brightly, looking like a big boy, and he didn't deliberately want to pretend to be old.

A group of Lizheng, Jiachang and rich people are at least forty years old, and there are people in their sixties and seventies, no matter how they pretend to be old, Wei Bao can't get old.

"Since Gongzi Wei is gracious, let's go, shall we?" Houmafang is very enthusiastic, and warmly helps Wei Bao to greet everyone. He secretly calculated in his heart, and then talked to Wei Gongzi in private, if he helped persuade everyone, other people's arrears would be collected with 20% silver, and the arrears in his hand would be seen if they could be collected with 30% silver, or 40% silver? If it's forty percent silver, it's barely acceptable.

A group of Li Zheng, A Chang and the rich people saw Hou Lixing's enthusiasm, and they were strange, and immediately understood what he was thinking, and they all looked down on Hou Lixing, but they all refused to suffer, so they scrambled to pat Wei Bao's ass.

Zhao Yuanhua was in the crowd, he never said anything, and the coughing up of blood stopped, but he was extremely angry in his heart, feeling that Wei Bao was too powerful, and it seemed that no matter how he made a move, he was not Wei Bao's opponent, he was a little resigned to his fate, and he thought of following the crowd.

"That's right, according to what Wei Gongzi said, let's put aside the troubles today! Let's listen to the play, I haven't heard a play for a long time. Hehe. Dongbai Tali Zheng Bai Pengfu naturally saw Hou Lixing's thoughts, and not to be outdone, he vigorously flattered Wei Bao, and everything followed Wei Bao's meaning.

The two Li Zheng were scrambling to be the first to pat each other, and a group of Li Zheng and the rich people were even more afraid of falling behind, and good words were smashed on Wei Bao's head like rain.

Fan Xiaolin, Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya couldn't help but look at each other, no one expected that things would change so quickly? Suddenly reversed into this situation? When I came out with Wei Bao just now, I saw the scene of five or six thousand people surrounding, and the three girls were still worried one by one, and now I saw more than 200 li Zheng, Jia Chang and rich families rushing to curry favor with Wei Bao and compete for favor, all of which were like a dream.

"Twenty percent of the silver, at least more than 100,000 taels, alas, ......" Fan Xiaolin sighed softly.

"It's okay, if we can solve it like this, it's better than making a fuss like this every day, in that case, we can't do anything, what's the use of asking for so much land?" Wang Qiuya replied to Fan Xiaolin softly.

"It's good to solve it this way, I'm afraid they won't agree." Xu Rui said.

"Even if they say yes, it's trouble!" Fan Xiaolin said: "We don't have so much silver!" Moreover, no one can guarantee that after three years, we will still have more than 50,000 taels of cash in our hands, and it is not easy to earn 50,000 taels in three years in such a bad year! And we have so many people under our command now, if we recruit all the neighbors in the four miles under our hands, it will be a big problem to eat. ”

When Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya heard this, they sighed together with Fan Xiaolin, they are girls, and they can't understand Wei Bao's thoughts, anyway, as Wei Bao's business gets bigger and bigger, they all feel more and more panicked, and they really hope that Wei Bao will honestly guard a large area of land and farm with peace of mind, as Wei's mother said.

The third girl spoke softly, worried about Wei Bao, Wei Bao chatted quite happily with a group of Li Zheng, A Chang and rich people, everyone likes to be praised by others, Wei Bao is no exception, and he never gets tired of listening to good words.

When you are in a good mood, everyone is happy, including Miss Wu.

Wei Bao saw Wu Sanfeng and Miss Wu coming over, and greeted him warmly and said, "Hello Master Wu, Miss Wu, you don't let people say hello when you come, I'll greet you in person." ”

"Wei Gongzi is polite, we saw that Wei Gongzi was so busy, so we came by ourselves, and I hope Wei Gongzi will not think that we are uninvited." Wu Sanfeng rarely talked softly to Wei Bao.

Wu Xuexia just glanced at Wei Bao when she came over, and when her eldest brother spoke, Wu Xuexia's eyes turned around, and she didn't stay on Wei Bao's face anyway.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, and he would not be swayed by Wu Xuexia's attitude, and said with a smile: "Wu Dagongzi is a person with status, and what he says is beautiful!" With a big man like Mr. Wu and Miss Wu coming to me, we are fortunate to have three lives, and we can't ask for it. Fellow villagers? Do you say yes or not? ”

A group of Li Zheng, Jia Chang and the rich people hurriedly nodded yes, patting the sycophants of Wu Dagongzi and Wu Daxiao, as if they were very familiar with Wei Bao, and Wei Bao was the leader of their group.

A group of Li Zheng, Jia Chang and the rich people surrounded Wu Dagongzi and Miss Wu to pat on the back, and also let Wei Bao have a break for a while, just now less than half an hour, his mouth has not stopped, and his tongue is a little cramped.

Seeing Zhao Kehu and Zhao Jinfeng coming over at this time, Wei Bao instantly recovered his spirits, hurriedly greeted him, and said enthusiastically: "Uncle Zhao!" Miss Zhao. ”

Zhao Jinfeng smiled, secretly thinking that Wei Bao was pretending to be very well-behaved in front of his father, and called Miss, but last night he was a golden phoenix, "Wei Gongzi is good." ”

"Congratulations to Wei Gongzi, such a difficult matter has also been solved by Wei Gongzi who has come up with a solution." Zhao Kehu smiled indifferently.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "This is none of my business, I can't bear to see everyone's money go down the drain, and I can't bear to see that our area has been so barren, and if there is no one to take care of it for a year, this area will really become the Gobi!" ”

Wei Bao's voice was not low, on the one hand, it was for Zhao Kehu, and on the other hand, it was intended to be heard by everyone.

When Wu Xuexia heard this, she snorted coldly, secretly thinking that Wei Bao was talking like a singing, it was really annoying!

A group of Li Zheng, Jia Chang and wealthy people nodded their heads in favor of Wei Bao's words, praising Wei Gongzi for being able to consider everyone and caring for the township after becoming rich, which is very rare.

"It's a cold day, everyone don't blow the cold wind here anymore, please come inside!" Wei Bao greeted everyone warmly, and said to Luo San beside him: "Hurry up and arrange twenty or thirty elegant seats to come out, I want to invite all the township masters to watch the play, and then arrange the best wine and food, everyone will not get drunk today!" ”

"Yes, Childe." Luo San was stunned and agreed, and hurriedly helped President Wei greet everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me?" ”

A group of Li Zheng, Jia Chang and the wealthy families thanked Wei Gongzi one after another, and followed Luo San's stunned people to Wei Baojia, like a huge sightseeing group.

Everyone thought it was funny, every time they came to Wei Bao's A before, they came to quarrel, they really didn't expect that one day, they would come to listen to the play and drink, and they secretly sighed that the world is changeable, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between friends and enemies.

Zhao Yuanhua, who was in the crowd, snorted coldly when he walked to Wei Bao's side: "Master Wei, your dog beat me yesterday, what do you say?" ”

Zhao Yuanhua secretly thought that he was in front of so many people, and Wei Bao wanted to buy the arrears in everyone's hands, and he would never dare to do anything to him, so he took the opportunity to make trouble and get back the unhappiness of being kicked by Lin Wenbiao yesterday!
