Wu Xuexia and Zhao Jinfeng, the two girls took servants and maids respectively, and when they went out one after the other, Wei Bao's father and mother came to Wei Bao in a hurry.

"Where's Xiaobao? Is Xiaobao up? Huang Ying asked Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui.

Although Wei Bao has not officially married the three of them as concubines, the name has been decided, and the relationship between Huang Ying and the three daughters is closer, and she speaks more family-like than before.

"Aunt Wei, are you here so early?" Fan Xiao Linqi said: "The son hasn't gotten up yet, what's the matter?" ”

"I got up in the morning and went to the gate of our A to see, and I saw a large group of people kneeling there crying, I didn't know what was going on. I also heard that the neighbors of the four miles are coming over today, and the four miles of the village are going to be decided, and the chief and the rich family have to decide whether to sell all the arrears in their hands to Xiaobao? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? You're not telling me anything now, are you? Huang Ying said angrily.

Yesterday I sang a big drama all day, and today more than 3,000 people under Wei Bao have resumed their normal work, and they can do what they should do, so they can go out. Huang Ying heard that someone was kneeling outside the first gate, so she hurried to see what happened.

Otherwise, Wei Bao has big rules here, and he can't talk about the master in private, even if it is Wei Bao's own father, it is generally difficult to know what Wei Bao is doing now.

Fan Xiaolin hurriedly defended: "Where are the words, Aunt Wei, how can I not say anything to you?" It's not a big deal, what do you say? And it has nothing to do with us. ”

"It doesn't matter yet?" Huang Ying lowered her voice and said, "You tell me honestly, did Xiaobao send someone to kill Zhao Yuanhua?" This kid is too bold now! How dare you do such a thing? I have also heard that he is going to buy up all the debts in the hands of the rich men in the four miles of the land, and he has so much silver? Even if it costs seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver, right? ”

Fan Xiaolin smiled slightly: "Aunt Wei, how could it be that Gongzi sent someone to do it?" We don't know that Zhao Yuanhua, why kill him? Besides, isn't killing someone a violation of the Ming Law and a lawsuit? Don't worry about the acquisition of the arrears, the son naturally has an idea, we can't come up with so much silver, and the gang of Lizheng, Jiachang and rich people, they won't give us the arrears in their hands, right? ”

Huang Ying couldn't say anything about Fan Xiaolin, and tapped Fan Xiaolin's head with her index finger: "You, you're learning more and more, you can't hear the truth from your mouth now, I'll talk to Xiaobao." ”

"Aunt Wei, it's really okay, the son hasn't gotten up yet, you better go back." Fan Xiaolin smiled and said, "Besides, it's not that you can't see that Gongzi doesn't like you and Uncle Wei to ask him about things, and he will be unhappy later." If anything, I'll tell you, it's done, right? ”

Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya also softly persuaded Huang Ying to go back first.

Huang Ying shook her head sullenly and said, "The three of you, follow Xiaobao, I'm afraid you will all learn badly." It's weird, Xiaobao was a very honest child when he was a child, why is he so bold now? How long has it been since I bought the debts of the rich people in the four miles? Where did he get all this silver? If this thing happens, won't this blockbuster become Xiaobao in the future? ”

"That's not good, is it?" Fan Xiaolin smiled and said, "Don't you want your son to be good?" ”

"Of course I hope Xiaobao is well, but those rich people are so willing to hand over the land and the tenants' debts? Why is Xiaobao? What kind of methods did he use behind his back," Huang Ying was still quite smart, and asked suspiciously.

Anyway, no matter what Huang Ying asked, Fan Xiaolin just didn't leak her words, and she really didn't know. just chatted with Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya with Huang Ying.

Huang Ying stayed for half an hour, and when she saw that she really couldn't ask anything, she left sullenly. She didn't come on behalf of one person, in fact, her questions were also the questions of Wei Dakang, Fan Laopimple and Wang Zhihui, as well as a few neighborhood friends who were good friends with the Wei family, but they didn't dare to say anything to President Wei now. I don't dare to ask such a deep question directly.

Wei Bao went to bed early at night and got up early in the morning, he just didn't get out of bed, he kept lying down and smoking, in fact, he heard Huang Ying's words! If it weren't for Huang Ying running over temporarily, he would have gotten up just now, but he couldn't think of what to do after getting up, so he smoked while reading the Four Books and Five Classics.

After Huang Ying left, Wei Bao made a voice: "Xu Rui." ”

Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui heard that Wei Bao was calling, and hurriedly pushed the door in.

Wei Bao lazily asked on the bed, "How's it going?" Have the villagers outside the gate, Lizheng, Jiachang, and the rich families gathered? ”

"I've been sending people to monitor, and they've all gathered, and those Lizheng, Jiachang, and rich people haven't left the door since last night." Fan Xiaolin replied.

Wei Bao snorted strangely, I didn't expect these people to be so frost-resistant, although it was early spring, it was still very cold at night, right? Okay, no, no, no, where is the need to talk for so long all night?

However, he thought about it, didn't he sleep soundly all night? For those who are waiting to be gained, they are all so difficult, they are people who are ready to lose, and it is even more difficult, which is also reasonable.

"They didn't say it?" Wei Bao asked.

Fan Xiaolin shook her head: "I have sent people to ask a few times, and Lin Wenbiao's people have also come to report a few times, but there is no news, those Lizheng, Jiachang and rich people are still divided into two factions to dispute, this is the list that Lin Wenbiao secretly found someone to record." ”

Fan Xiaolin said and showed Wei Bao the directory.

Wei Bao saw that the names of more than 200 people were dense, but they were clearly registered, and the number of people on both sides was about the same, and they were all in their early 100s.

Wei Bao does not hate the part of the people who refuse to sell the land, and no one wants to lose it!

It can only be said that the part of the people who are willing to hand over the arrears is more aware of current affairs, and when they encounter things, they are weaker. Those who are unwilling to hand over the arrears are more conservative, and when they encounter problems, they are more rigid in dealing with them. The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, this is not a distinction between morality and morality.

Wei Bao put the list aside, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "No one came to urge me out?" ”

"Nope." Fan Xiaolin replied.

"Then wait a little longer!" Wei Bao said: "Half an hour before noon, I'll go over again!" ”

Don't important people usually wait until the last minute? Wei Bao thought the same way, and went early, as if he was on the pole more.

"Then it's going to be an hour, do you want to get up and eat first?" Wang Qiuya asked.

"Let's have some vegetables and stir-fried meat! A little spicy. Wei Bao said: "Eat rice." ”

When Wang Qiuya saw that Wei Bao was going to eat, she responded happily and hurriedly went down to order someone to prepare a meal.

Xu Rui was also happy President Zhang Luo got up to wash and prepare.

Wei Bao stood like a puppet, and Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui served him to get up, but he was most afraid of arriving at the scene and hearing unsatisfactory news.

Now that the two points of view are evenly matched, with Wei Bao's understanding of human nature, even if the number of people who are willing to hand over the arrears is roughly equal to the number of people who are unwilling to hand over the debts, I am afraid that the idea of not being willing to hand over the arrears will prevail, after all, human nature is greedy, and no one wants to suffer!

"These people are really, if the president doesn't care about them, the arrears in their hands will become a pile of waste paper, at this time, can't you see this clearly?" Fan Xiaolin complained softly while washing Wei Bao's face.

Wei Bao didn't respond to Fan Xiaolin, touched his clean face, walked slowly outside the house, and went to the front hall to eat.

Wei Bao's meal hadn't finished yet, and Zhao Jinfeng and Wu Xuexia had already arrived outside Wei Baojia's gate one after the other.

At this time, outside the gate of Wei Baojia, there was a sea of people, five or six thousand people gathered here, and the voices of the people were boiling.

The villagers are all loud, they naturally hope that this acquisition can go smoothly, if the arrears are in the hands of Wei Gongzi, their future life will definitely be better than now! They put a lot of pressure on a bunch of Lizheng, Jiachang and rich people!

"Dad, why didn't you go back to sleep all night?" After Zhao Jinfeng got out of the carriage, he came to Zhao Kehu in the crowd and said softly.

Zhao Kehu shook his daughter's delicate little hand, and said helplessly: "I can't sleep when I go back!" ”

Zhao Jinfeng didn't know how to comfort him, hoping that Wei Bao could recover the deadline for the final acquisition at noon today, and hoped that Wei Bao could successfully complete the acquisition. Zhao Jinfeng can be very sure that Wei Bao will never let his family suffer.

But Zhao Jinfeng also understands that without land, and if he loses his debts, even if he uses more silver, it will be difficult to make up for this loss, no wonder his father will not go back overnight.

"Aren't you supposed to go back to Shanhaiguan today?" Zhao Kehu suddenly remembered something: "If you want to go back, go back early, so as not to worry about your mother." ”

"I'll wait a little longer." Zhao Jinfeng's face flushed, and he said softly: "Dad, will you go to the car to rest first?" Wait for Wei Bao to come, and you can come down again. ”

Zhao Kehu also knew that Zhao Jinfeng didn't see the final result, and he couldn't rest assured, so he stopped persuading: "I'm here, I don't care about this little effort!" There is still an hour to go, and the final result will be known! ”

"Don't wait! If you want me to say, we'll all be gone now! Houmafang Li Zhenghou pressed his voice and said: "Let's just fight to lose a few thousand taels of silver, what's the matter?" This piece of land has become Wei Bao's land, his loss is even greater, and he will have to bow to us sooner or later if he guards this large wasteland! ”

"That's right, I think what Lao Hou said is very right!" Dongbai Talili Zheng Bai Pengfu is very supportive of Hou Lixing: "Why does he Wei Bao say what, let's do it?" Why should we be led by the nose by him? If we mistake spring ploughing, it is he Weibao who loses the most, not us! Anyway, we won't be able to collect much rent all year round. ”

A group of armor chiefs and wealthy people around them also nodded in agreement!

In fact, although the number of wealthy households who are in favor of handing over their debts to Wei Bao is roughly the same as the number of wealthy households who are not in favor of handing over their debts to Wei Bao, the total amount of arrears in the hands of rich households who refuse to hand over their debts is at least twice as much as the total amount of arrears in the hands of rich households who are willing to hand over their debts, or even more!

For example, Hou Lixing and Bai Pengfu are the two wealthy people who have the most arrears in their hands, and they are not willing to sell all the arrears in their hands to Wei Bao at a price of 20%.

"If we disperse now, Wei Gongzi will be angry, and if we don't collect a single bill of arrears at that time, won't our silver be wasted?" A wealthy man who is willing to hand over the debt.

"That's right, if you can collect a little bit of it, and it's okay for Wei Gongzi to look at it, then we still have a lot of places to rely on Wei Gongzi, after all, we are from this place, people are cheap when they leave their hometowns, if we really offend Wei Gongzi, don't we want to come back and see it in the future?" Another chimed in.

"Also, Wei Gongzi is protected by the gods, and we even sold the land, do you still care about such a little debt? Just if you have a debt and no land in your hands, what can you do to restrain the tenant farmers in your hands? When the time comes, will you be looking for someone to collect your debts all day long? Sooner or later, everyone will be forced away, and when the time comes, the bamboo basket will be empty! Another rich man who was willing to hand over his debts.

When the villagers next to these people heard the discussion, they immediately excitedly supported their idea of handing over the money they owed, and a huge wave of sound was formed on the periphery.

"Men are not allowed to leave, this matter must be settled today! If you don't sell all the arrears in your hands to Wei Gongzi, it's a big deal that we will go out to escape the famine and go out to be homeless!" ”

"None of them can be let go!"

"Don't go!"

"Don't go!"

Hou Lixing and Bai Pengfu, as well as a large group of rich people who were unwilling to hand over their debts, secretly complained bitterly, regretting that they shouldn't have discussed here all night, and now it seems that they can't leave if they want to!

Wu Xuexia, who had been quietly observing in the carriage next to her, couldn't help but be curious, she didn't expect these villagers to support Wei Bao so much? Asked the maid next to him: "Has the person who went to find the eldest prince come back?" ”

"I'm back, and I said that the eldest prince hasn't gotten up yet." The maid replied: "It's still in the guest house arranged by Wei Gongzi, I heard that ...... Last night...... and two ......"

Wu Xuexia knew what she was going to say, and knew that the eldest brother must have slept with the girl from the Qinglou who was found from Fu Ningwei last night, so she was embarrassed, so she raised her hand and interrupted the maid's words.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't want to say this kind of thing: "Do you want to ask someone to urge the eldest prince to come over?" ”

Wu Xuexia knew that at this time, if the eldest brother came over to help fight against Wei Bao, it would give a lot of help to a group of rich people who were unwilling to hand over the money they owed, and this help could even finally change the direction of things! In the end, the villagers are still afraid of officials, and their Wu family is in Liaoxi, so they can represent officialdom.

But Wu Xuexia didn't know why, she actually faintly wanted to promote Wei Bao to successfully acquire the arrears in the hands of these rich people, in that case, Wei Bao would become a veritable big landlord in Liaoxi, a first-class wealthy family! Wasn't that what she meant when she turned the corner and headed for Wei Bao last night?

"Forget it, you don't need to call the eldest prince." Wu Xuexia said softly.

"Yes, miss." The maid replied.

After Wu Xuexia finished speaking, she secretly wondered, didn't Wei Bao know that she secretly helped him? Thinking that after Wei Bao's strength increased, he must be more arrogant, and he suffered a little bit of gains and losses, hoping that Wei Bao could succeed for a while, and hoping to see Wei Bao fall a big heel for a while, so he felt comfortable.

When she was upset, Wu Xuexia casually took a book of poems in the carriage and read them silently.

Wei Bao ate this meal very slowly, slowly, as if he was counting the time.

"Why are you still here?" Huang Ying came over again.

This time, Huang Ying came with him, as well as Wei Dakang, Fan Lao Pimple and his wife, Wang Zhihui and his wife, and a few neighbors who were good friends with the Wei family, and these people have now become Wei Dakang and Huang Ying's followers.

Wei Bao looked at everyone and said with a smile: "You guys have something?" ”

Wei Dakang hurriedly said: "Really, have you forgotten what day it is?" Didn't you tell those rich men in the gang that before noon today is the deadline for you to buy the money they owe? Why don't you hurry up? ”

"Wait for the wrong time, others will pick on you, saying that you are delayed." Huang Ying also hurriedly agreed.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Your news is quite well-informed, don't worry, I told Xiaolin, half an hour before noon, I'll go over again!" ”

"Oh, what's wrong with going there earlier?" Wei Dakang's sweat came out in a hurry.

Wei Bao laughed and said, "Aren't you all against me accepting the arrears in their hands? What are you doing so much now? ”

Wei Dakang and Huang Ying opposed Wei Bao's collection of arrears from a gang of Li Zheng, Jia Chang and wealthy people, because they were afraid of causing trouble, where would they not want Wei Bao to succeed? They knew very well what it would mean if they had land and the villagers who controlled it. It means that Wei Bao has become a veritable big landlord, and his strength is not trivial, but I am afraid that even the prefect of Yongping Mansion will have to give three points when he sees Wei Bao. At that time, Wei Baoke will really become the head of the family for hundreds of miles and nearly thousands of miles.

"Go fast, go fast, don't be slow." Huang Ying didn't know how to explain it, so she kept urging.

Wei Bao smiled: "Xiaolin, greet and send off guests, when I eat, I don't like to be disturbed the most." ”

Huang Ying and Wei Dakang glanced at each other, almost not being confused by Wei Bao, sending off guests? Are they his parents, are they guests?

Fan Xiaolin showed a little smile: "Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei, my son doesn't like to talk to people when he eats, can you go back first?" If you can't miss the hour, don't embarrass me? ”

Seeing that their daughter said this, Fan Lao Pimple and Fan Lao Pimple's wife also hurriedly helped persuade Wei Dakang and Huang Ying, saying that Xiaobao had his own opinions.

Wei Dakang and Huang Ying said a few more words, this child is longer and this child is shorter, and then they reluctantly left with everyone.

Now Wei Bao not only has absolute authority in front of his subordinates, but at home, he is also the actual master, Wei Bao likes this unfettered and free atmosphere.

After Wei Bao finished eating, he stood at the door and smoked a cigarette, looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, calmed down his heart a little, and then began to walk outside the armor.

At this time, outside Wei Baojia's gate, the fierce quarrel was already approaching its peak!

Although a group of wealthy people who are willing to hand over their debts, with the support of five or six thousand villagers, the momentum occupies an absolute upper hand!

But those rich households who are unwilling to hand over their arrears are mostly local middle and large landlords, who are accustomed to being majestic on weekdays, where can they endure a group of villagers talking to them like this? took out his prestige and scolded, many villagers have become accustomed to being controlled, and they don't dare to scold their top masters.

If this is the case of equal status, such a huge gap in numbers will make the minority faction be suppressed into a meat pie, and most of them will be directly trampled to death by the overwhelming majority of the population.

In fact, the aura of the two sides is still between the ups and downs.

Whenever a balance of power is reached, whether it is a person or a thing, or a certain chemical reaction, at this time, a catalyst is needed to change the situation, otherwise, this balance of power will always keep the balance of affairs and can never be broken.

Wei Bao is the catalyst, when he is wearing a dark blue pigment soft satin leather jacket, a chestnut auspicious cloud pattern silver belt tied around his waist, long hair like flowing water, a pair of smart starry eyes, and a straight body, when he really looks like Pan An is majestic and handsome.

With a loud voice: "Wei Gongzi has arrived!" ”

Immediately, this disturbing situation was suppressed without the slightest sound.

Zhao Jinfeng beside Zhao Kehu and Wu Xuexia in the carriage were all moved by the atmosphere.

If Wei Bao had met him alone, he would never have such momentum, but in this scene of five or six thousand people, it was different.

Wei Bao's handsome appearance, clear water-like eyes, and a light smile anytime and anywhere made the two most iconic girls in Yongping Mansion can't help but feel hot.

Wei Bao, who is in the center of those 10,000 people, seems to have a lot of glory!

"How? Have you come up with a result? Wei Bao has an amiable, super easy-going smile, and a warm man's appearance, and he is completely a sunny and lovely boy next door.

A bunch of Li Zheng, Jia Chang and rich people who were unwilling to hand over the arrears in their hands, no one dared to say anything, the face and neck that were scolded just now were blushing and thick, but now in front of Wei Bao, there was no sound.

However, a group of rich people who want to hand over their debts do not dare to take the lead in speaking, otherwise, they may become the target of public criticism in the future!

"This is none of my business, I am completely out of the consideration of building the township and thinking about everyone! Everyone has handed over the arrears, and the future will still be the backbone of our area, and I think the things in the township should be done in a different way. We need a lot of partners! Wei Bao said briefly and respectfully.

The core content of his sentence is to reshape the power system in the township!

"Wei Gongzi, this is my debt, I will resell it to Wei Gongzi!" Immediately, a rich man stepped forward!

The strength of this rich man can be ranked at the level of the first chief, and he has been seeking to be the first chief for many years, but the position is dead, once the position of Li Zheng and the first chief comes out, unless there is a major change, it is better that there will be no change for thousands of years. This is the biggest drawback of the feudal system, a pool of stagnant water, this stagnant water, makes people resentful, makes people despair, and makes people immediately become crazy when they encounter the light of change!

The rich man saw the light and showed signs of madness!

With some kind of desperate gambling brilliance in his eyes, looking at Wei Bao, it was like looking at a pile of chips, he didn't know what this pair of chips would get in exchange, but he really wanted to count a little chips from Wei Bao, bet on a different life, bet on a different business.

The onlookers were even more excited, as if watching a play, and applauded excitedly!

The applause echoed one after another among the five or six thousand people, and the scene was extremely shocking.

Li Zheng, Jia Chang and the rich people present, although they didn't know very well how Wei Bao was organized and managed, they all vaguely heard about it.

Wealthy people with progressive ideas, or in other words, people who are more flexible, not very rigid, and very conservative, can easily find that Weibao's management is different from the traditional! For everyone, this is a different light!

Wei Bao nodded happily and said to Fan Xiaolin: "Register this master!" Welcome! We are in need of a courageous person like you, let's grow together and get rich together! ”

Wei Bao said, taking the initiative to hold the man's hand, the man was not very old, in his forties, slightly older than Wei Dakang.

Fan Xiaolin hurriedly agreed happily: "Yes, president!" ”

Wei Bao and this person are a whole generation apart, there is no such etiquette as shaking hands these days, and the picture of two people holding hands together is very funny and touching.

It made a lot of people laugh.

Zhao Jinfeng and Wu Xuexia watched this scene without blinking their eyes, feeling ten million times more exciting than watching a play.

"Master Wei, I will also hand over the arrears! I hope that Wei Gongzi will give me more business in the future? I'll do a bit of road repair. ”

"I'll hand over the bill too! I don't want more, just let me do a little bit of the way. ”

"I'll do it too."

"In the future, Mr. Wei will do business outside, and I hope to share some of it for me."

"I know that Wei Gongzi has a lot of shops in Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion, and I want to do some business with Tiandi Firm."

A group of wealthy people who took the initiative to pay their arrears talked around Wei Bao.

They all know that Wei Bao's projects are sent out in the form of outsourcing, and after accounting, they will definitely make money!

Although Wei Bao has a lot of projects in his hands, they don't dare to casually take over the diversion canals, drainage canals, reservoirs, river embankments, seawalls, and other relatively technical and untouched projects, and they are still not afraid of road construction.

"Oh, yes, yes." Wei Bao tried his best to control his smile, still like the boy next door, not losing etiquette, answering everyone with a junior attitude, and getting along with everyone with a junior attitude, "As long as I have it, I hope everyone can have it, as long as we put our strength in one place, our piece is no worse than Daming!" ”

"Wei Gongzi is really talented."

A group of wealthy people sighed.

Immediately, more than 100 wealthy families who were willing to hand over their arrears rushed to Fan Xiaolin to register.

Once someone starts, it's like a causeway breaking, crazy and unstoppable!

The people who resolutely refused to hand over the arrears collapsed in an instant, and before Wei Baolai, they could still fight with the ideology that wanted to hand over the debts, but at this moment, they didn't even seem to have room to fight back!

With the non-stop cheering and cheering of five or six thousand villagers, the more than 100 rich families who refused to hand over their debts felt a strong sense of loneliness!

"Deliver!" Houmafang Lihou Lihou gritted his teeth, his tone was low, and his voice was full of helplessness: "Lao Bai, let's hand it over!" ”

Dongbai Tali Zheng Bai Pengfu did not speak, because his throat was already choked, he nodded painfully, and put his hand into his arms, although he resolutely did not want to hand over the IOU in his hand, but they all took the IOU with him.

Zhao Jinfeng said lightly emotionally: "Daddy." ”

Zhao Kehu grabbed the big hand of Zhao Jinfeng's delicate little hand, shook uncontrollably, he didn't speak, and he didn't make the action of handing over the arrears in his hand.

"Dad, hand it over? My daughter promises you that after a while, Wei Bao will be asked to double the compensation for his father, and we will still have our own land and our own tenant farmers. Zhao Jinfeng said softly with confidence. secretly thought that Wei Bao said that he would marry himself, even if he gave a dowry, it would not be less than the number of people who went out of the family.

Zhao Kehu naturally understood what his daughter meant, smiled bitterly, and replied softly: "Silly girl, it's not that Daddy can't settle accounts!" Daddy is reluctant, this family business has been accumulated by four generations of our family, I didn't expect that when it comes to your father's generation, it will be handed over. ”

"For the time being." Zhao Jinfeng gently stroked his father's back with one hand, meaning comfort.

"Dad will never trade your life's happiness for anything!" Zhao Kehu suddenly looked at his daughter firmly, and then walked towards Fan Xiaolin, who became the last rich man to hand over the debt in his hand among the four.
