In October, the weather in Xuzhou also cooled down, and an order issued by the Yamen of the Xuzhou prefect shook the entire Xuzhou Mansion.

After Qiu Guangming returned to the prefect's yamen, he immediately convened his staff to secretly discuss the 'land reform' decree handed over to him by Li Zixiao.

Qiu Guangming is also resolute, he is eager to make achievements and get Li Zixiao's recognition.

After Qiu Guangming consulted with his staff, they believed that in order to promote the 'land reform', they must first solve the big landlords in Xuzhou.

At this time, the large landlords gathered in Xuzhou City are not only numerous, but also all of them are quite large, and those who have 100 acres of fertile land abound.

Among them, the Qiu family is one of the largest families in Xuzhou.

The reason why the Qiu family has thousands of acres of fertile land is that on the one hand, it is left by the family, and on the other hand, the bribes received by Qiu Guangming in recent years.

And big families like the Qiu family, the Xie family, etc., all live in Xuzhou, and only some branches are sent by them to preside over some industrial affairs.

What Qiu Guangming thought of was to start with the big landlords in Xuzhou, as long as the big landlords in Xuzhou could be settled, the big landlords in the rest of the counties would be easy to deal with.

I have to say that Qiu Guangming also made a bloody investment this time, and did not hesitate to include his family in the ranks of 'land reform', in exchange for his future future.

In fact, Qiu Guangming also had selfish intentions in doing this.

Because although Qiu Guangming said that he was the prefect of Xuzhou, he was not the head of the Qiu family, because he was just the concubine of the Qiu family back then.

Even if he speaks in the Qiu family at this time, it has some weight, but he still can't make a final decision, and the head of the Qiu family has someone else.

And according to the rules of their family, the head of the family has the power of life and death of the family, and all affairs must be decided by the head of the family.

Don't look at the bribes that Qiu Guangming received, the 500 acres of fertile land, but he can only hand it over to the family management, to put it bluntly, he has nothing to do.

Back then, in his own family, he saw with his own eyes the bullying of his mother, and he was not treated well since he was a child.

If it weren't for his struggle, he would probably be 'assigned' to a remote place by his family at this time, responsible for some local fields and the collection of field rent.

And this time, Qiu Guangming decided to choose his own future between his own future and the interests of his family.

Besides, Li Zixiao's 'land reform' decree did damage the interests of those big landlords.

But Li Zixiao is not, he took back the land in their hands for nothing, but bought it with money.

In addition, Li Zixiao promised that all large landlords whose land was redeemed by the government could enjoy a three-year tax reduction and some preferential treatment in business.

Qiu Guangming soon sent an invitation to the heads of the major landlords in Xuzhou, asking them to discuss the matter at the prefect's yamen three days later.

Three days later, the major landlords in Xuzhou who received the invitation did not suspect it, and rushed to the prefect's yamen, after all, they still had to give Qiu Guangming's face.

Even if the heads of some big families are old or can't come because of something, they will send some heavyweights to come.

As a result, as soon as they came, they were directly imprisoned in the prefect's yamen, and who was imprisoned, of course, they were imprisoned by Zhao Zilong and the white dragon sergeant.

Then, Qiu Guangming sent each of them a copy of the 'land reform' decree that was about to be issued.

Qiu Guangming knew that after this meeting, these big landlords would definitely hate him to death, and no matter how they talked about this meeting, it would be impossible to talk about it.

As for the temperament of these big landlords, how could he not understand that he tried every means to evade taxes on weekdays, just to save that bit of silver.

Now that the government wants to move the land in their hands, it is simply their lives, and it is too difficult to solve it peacefully without bloodshed.

Unless Li Zixiao can make big enough concessions, he will inevitably give these big landlords more compensation and more temptation policies.

To put it bluntly, it is an exchange of interests, and perhaps in this way, Qiu Guangming is still sure to persuade these big landlords to resolve these problems peacefully at the negotiation table.

However, at this time, Li Zixiao did not give him a penny, and the preferential policies offered were limited.

In Qiu Guangming's view, it is impossible to satisfy the appetite of those big landlords.

It's not that Li Zixiao is slamming the door, it's that he really can't help it, and of course he doesn't want turmoil, and hopes that this 'land reform' policy can be implemented peacefully."

But he really has no money in his hands, the silver in his hand at this time is simply beyond his means, and his savings of millions will soon bottom out.

He still needs to raise an army, and even expand the army soon, he needs silver, how can he pay out of his own pocket!

Even in Li Zixiao's 'land reform' decree, the so-called government paid for the extra land in the hands of the landlord.

For this money, Li Zixiao plans to let Qiu Guangming play white.

As for the exemption from taxes and other conditions, it has no effect at all.

Because in the Ming Dynasty, these big landlords themselves did not have much tax to pay.

It is estimated that in the past few decades or hundreds of years, these guys have been able to come out with a few scholars, and the old Zhu family stipulates that they will not charge these people much tax.

Otherwise, at this time, the Ming Dynasty would only receive four million taels of taxes a year, which were all squeezed out of those poor people.

As for these big landlords, they didn't pay much tax at all.

With such a deformed development, how could Li Zixiao allow it to continue to exist!

According to Li Zixiao, these guys easily got so many fields from ordinary people through cunning and robbery, threats and temptations.

These should have belonged to the people, but now they are just to be spit out, and it is time for the Great Reckoning.

The change of dynasties in all dynasties is not a process of liquidation!

Moreover, Li Zixiao only gave him one winter time, and Qiu Guangming simply didn't have time to delay time with these big landlords.

Anyway, Qiu Guangming knew that he would inevitably not be able to get along, so he simply used this method directly to deceive them all, first look at their attitudes, and then decide which one to take.

"You are committing a crime, Qiu Guangming, are you planning to rebel?"

A middle-aged man wearing a mink coat and dressed gorgeously scolded Qiu Guangming loudly at this time.

"Master Qiu, shouldn't you stand up and say something at this time?" The other old man looked at Qiu Guangde, who had a gloomy face behind him.

The heads of the other families also looked at Qiu Guangde, hoping that at this time he could stand up and stop Qiu Guangming's reckless behavior.

But outside the hall, the rows of white dragon soldiers with sharp guns and bright armor made these big men tremble, they were completely fish on the pallet at this time!

"Guangming, Hugh is going to continue to mess around, it's still too late to stop at this time." Qiu Guangde stood up and said coldly to his younger brother.

Seeing Qiu Guangde forcing over, Qiu Guangming looked bored, his eldest brother was too strong, and he had the final say in everything in the Qiu family on weekdays.

In the past, he wanted to sit firmly in the position of the prefect in Xuzhou, and the help of his family was indispensable.

But this time is different, after hugging Li Zixiao's thigh, he knows that only by getting Li Zixiao's trust is the foundation for him to continue to be an official and in power in the future.

But for the sake of the same family, the day before, Qiu Guangming had actually quietly sent someone to hint at his eldest brother, but unfortunately the other party didn't take it to heart at all.

"Big brother, this 'land reform' decree will definitely be implemented by the prefect's yamen, do you think my words are useful now, do you think those soldiers outside the hall will listen to my orders?

Now you have two choices, either sign the agreement in front of you, or stay in my prefect's mansion to rest, anyway, there is no shortage of rooms in the backyard of my prefect's mansion, and there is no shortage of a few meals for a few of you. ”

Qiu Guangming said with a wry smile.

When the landlords heard this, they were all anxious, he wanted to imprison them, and as for the agreement in their hands, they were absolutely unwilling to sign it.

"Hmph, the old man will never sign it, I want to see where you can lock the old man up." A large patriarch sat down by himself and said in a cold voice.

"Yes, I won't sign either." Immediately after, someone chimed in.

These people believed that if they did not return by night, their people would find out that something was wrong, and that they would make a big fuss and rescue them.

"Hey!"

Qiu Guangming couldn't see the thoughts of these people, so he couldn't help sighing, and said in his heart: You old things, one by one is really not long-sighted.

Lao Tzu has hinted so obviously, I can't see it, Lao Tzu can't live in this matter, you can consume it if you want, I just don't know if your family will exist after dawn tomorrow.

Qiu Guangming knew that Li Zixiao had just ordered the White Dragon Army in the north of the city to enter the city, and there were more than 3,000 people, all of whom were brave warriors, just to deal with these big families.

In fact, these big family heads are right, as long as they don't go back at night, their families will definitely find out that something is wrong.

When the time comes, with the power in their hands, they will make a fuss at the prefect's yamen, and Qiu Guangming will dare to let people go?

It's a pity that if it were in the past, Qiu Guangming really couldn't do it, the support of the family he lost couldn't pull the joint force of these big families in Xuzhou.

However, this time these old things are destined to miscalculate, because this time their enemy is not him Qiu Guangming, but a real ruthless man.

At this time, Qiu Guangming gave his eldest brother Qiu Guangde a look, and said in his heart: Big brother, don't be confused! Hurry up and sign it.

Although Qiu Guangming was dissatisfied with his family, he still didn't want to see the Qiu family ruined.

"Haha, since everyone doesn't sign it, then our Xie family will sign it first, I think this 'land reform' decree is good, it is a good policy for the benefit of the country and the people, and our Xie family supports it."

At this time, a middle-aged man with a Chinese face stood up, said with a smile, and then signed his name on the agreement in front of him, and then drew a pledge.

This person's name is Xie Tiandong, and it is the Xie family in Xuzhou who has been trading with the White Dragon Army.

This time, the Xie family received the news sent by Li Zixiao in advance, and released goodwill to the Xie family.

According to Li Zixiao's meaning, as long as the Xie family implements this 'land reform', Li Zixiao agrees to let the Xie family arrange a few children to serve in the White Dragon Army or the prefect's yamen.

Of course, you must be capable, don't want wine bags and rice bags, this can be regarded as Li Zixiao wooing the Xie family and giving the Xie family a little benefit.

It is precisely because of this that Xie Tiandong happily signed at this time.

Compared with this 'land reform' decree, the loss of the Xie family's interests, he attaches more importance to the children of the family, and the opportunity to enter the White Dragon Army or serve in the prefect's yamen.

Moreover, the Xie family is even more clear about Li Zixiao's methods, they know that even if they don't agree, Li Zixiao will implement this decree in the end.

For Li Zixiao, who had the right to soldier, the Xie family did not believe that they could resist, and in the face of Li Zixiao's wooing, the Xie family directly obeyed.

"Thank Tiandong, how can you do this."

"That's right, this little inheritance that you Lao Tzu has worked so hard to save, I think it will all be destroyed in the hands of you, an unfilial son, and your father will be angry to death if he knows about it under Jiuquan."

Sure enough, Xie Tiandong's signature immediately made many people feel different, and everyone criticized him.

"Hahaha, you guys do it yourself!" In the face of everyone's accusations, Xie Tiandong laughed out loud and left.

"Our Liao family also signed." As soon as Xie Tiandong left, another family succumbed.

But this Liao family is actually married to the Xie family, and they also received some tips from the Xie family, and after seeing that Xie Tiandong signed it, they also followed.

The signing of the Xie family and the Liao family was a heavy price for these landlords who wanted to unite together, and many people's hearts began to waver.

"Traitors, everyone don't have to be afraid, the old man doesn't believe what they can do to us, if they dare to implement this decree, it will be a rebellion, and the court will not sit idly by."

"Yes, the imperial court will not allow them to come nonsense, I will let my third son impeach the saint, Qiu family child, you can't be the prefect for long."

A few of the most stubborn old things, the most resolute, have no intention of compromising in the slightest, and encourage others to join in.

In the end, Qiu Guangde, under Qiu Guangming's constant hints, finally signed and signed unwillingly, and then left angrily.

Left, the most stubborn heads of the five big families, when it got dark, they still refused to compromise, that is, they did not sign the agreement.

That agreement is a written agreement for them to agree and be willing to implement this 'land reform' decree.

After the sun completely set, Qiu Guangming saw that the last five family heads would never compromise, and whispered a few words to Zhao Zilong next to him.

Zhao Zilong quickly arrived at the back house and met Li Zixiao, in fact, Li Zixiao has been staring at it from behind, of course he can't completely delegate power to their big things, he doesn't worry!

"Hehe, it's really the same as I thought, it's really stubborn, it's okay, it's good to distinguish the enemy, it's good to start, the knife should see blood."

After listening to Zhao Zilong's report, Li Zixiao said with a sneer.
