After thinking about it, Zheng Jiu stood up and bowed seriously and said, "Everyone, I don't know about this matter, but since the young master has become the deputy envoy of Qingtian, the Zheng family will definitely help the young master to complete the matter of Qingtian! I must return to Gaomi immediately for inventory.

I, Zheng Family Field, bid farewell!"

Seeing Zheng Jiu shaking his head and walking away, everyone stared at him, not knowing what to say.

"The Zheng family's fields were all acquired in recent years. Even if they clear the fields, they won't be able to get rid of much. Ma Qiang's selection is so accurate!!" Chun Yulang said angrily. His family's fields have been accumulated over hundreds of years.

Yes, it can’t be cleared up!

"Master of the family! Master of the family!!" A man ran in, searched for a while, and then found Teng Yuan, the head of the Teng family, who was sitting there, and quickly walked forward and whispered.

"What??" Teng Yuan stood up suddenly, then looked around and said, "Those thieves outside the city are gathering to surround my Teng family! There are still some people who are coming to Beihai City. These must be those

Ma Qiang instructed!"

"Ah? How is Brother Teng doing at home?"

"Hmph! I also have thousands of soldiers. Those mobs can't hurt my Teng family. I'm going to find Kong Beihai and Ma Qingzhou. What do they want to do? If they want to destroy my Teng family, come and try!"

Teng Yuan was about to walk out angrily when the door was kicked open with a bang.

"Oh, everyone is here, this is really convenient!" Guan Hai patted his belly, holding the Heng Dao newly given to him by Ma Qiang in his hand, walked in and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that you all go to the top of the city.

One trip, please!"

"Just leave! I want to see what Ma Qiang wants to do?" Teng Yuan walked out angrily. The other wealthy families looked at each other, then looked at the armored soldiers looming outside the door, and followed.

Teng Yuan walked out.

On the top of the city in Beihai, Ma Qiang was sitting, Qing Cheng was sitting on the left, and Guo Jia, Wang Xiu, Zheng Yi, Huang Xu and others were sitting on the right. They were all waiting nearby. Ma Qiang heard the footsteps of a group of people.

The sound came, he smiled and said to Qing Cheng next to him, "People are coming, let Diao Chan prepare."

After a while, Teng Yuan and a group of people came over under the "protection" of Guan Hai. Ma Qiang stood up and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, I think the weather is good today. It just so happened that there were many people outside who heard that I was coming and wanted to see them.

Seeing me, I thought that I couldn't let the people come in vain. I just happened to bring the team of our Pingyuan Theater here again. I just wanted to put on a play outside the city for the people to see and please enjoy it.

Ichiban, please take your seats, gentlemen!"

Teng Yuan looked down and saw countless people gathered around in a mess. At the center was hundreds of men sitting neatly around a stage. His position was diagonally facing the stage.

It is indeed a good place to watch singing and dancing.

But are these neat men really common people? Are they not Yellow Turban elites?

The music started playing, and Ma Qiang introduced, "This play is called White-Haired Girl, and it's very interesting."

Teng Yuan said angrily, "Ma Shijun, there are thousands of mobs besieging our Teng family now. Please ask Ma Shijun to order an order to suppress the rebellion!"

"Oh? Did they kill anyone?"

"This..." Teng Yuan turned back to look at the samurai who reported the news. The samurai shook his head and said, "It's just a siege, no harm has been done yet."

"Since it didn't hurt anyone, let's talk about it after watching the show!"

Ma Qiang smiled nonchalantly, and Diao Chan below also appeared and started singing.

Teng Yuan was angry and anxious, but after thinking about it, he endured it and sat down to see what Ma Qiang was going to do.

But as the play progressed, all the nobles present became unable to sit still.

They are all too familiar with this kind of plot. A small fight goes out and a big fight goes in. It's called relief in the countryside, but it's actually about swallowing people's fields. They don't feel anything about it on weekdays, but now it's been acted out, and it's been acted out in front of so many idiots.

, they just felt that there was a pot of oil underneath, which could explode at any time.

"Qingtian, not only save the people, but also save yourselves.

I have decreed that any land cleared by powerful gentry that has tenants shall be given priority to the tenants. Think about it, when your soldiers know that if they do not resist the government, the fields they rent will become their own.

Tiantian, will they still raise their swords and guns for you?"

Ma Qiang's words hit everyone's hearts word by word, making Teng Yuan and others feel breathless.

At this time, I don’t know who got up first, and they were all shouting that they wanted to kill Huang Ren. If there were not soldiers guarding him in front of the stage, they would have rushed up.

"That's all I'm going to say. You can go back and think about whether Qingtian should be allowed to Qingtian or not. Starting tomorrow, Qingtian's team will go to the countryside to start work. Qingcheng, didn't you say you wanted to have a barbecue? Let's go.

Bar!"

Ma Qiang stood up and took Qing Cheng's hand and left, leaving only the backs of the sweaty nobles present.

——

"Unclear! We must not clear the fields!" Chunyulang shouted loudly, but everyone lowered their heads, completely losing their previous arrogance.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid?"

"The news just came from home. Those people did not attack my Teng Manor, but instead shouted to the inside about the plan to clear the land. Now people in the manor are panicking..." Teng Yuan lowered his head, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

"Fortify a stronghold to protect yourself!" Gong Shalu stood up and said, "If there are tenants or soldiers who dare to rebel, we will kill them! I don't believe it. I am not afraid of killing these mud-legged people!"

After listening to Gong Shalu's words, many people also became interested.

"Master of the family! Master of the family!!"

Another person ran in, searched for a while, and whispered to his family owner. The family owner said angrily, "No, the Qingtian team from Duchang has also been dispatched. It was really a big mistake to let those moth thieves settle in our places that day."

!”

Just as he was talking, another person ran in, and then, as if some switch was turned on, there was no end to the people who came in to report the news. Only then did everyone know that all counties in Beihai were already spreading the word about the Qingtian policy, and people everywhere were singing the news.

After talking about how much more land we can have after clearing the land, I don’t know how many eyes are peering inside the powerful manors.

"Hmph! I will go back to Jiaodong right now. If his Qingtian team dares to go to the countryside, I will give their heads to Ma Qiang!"

Gong Shalu walked out angrily, and the other family heads followed him and went back to their respective counties, leaving only their eyes and ears behind to collect information.

After receiving the news of Gong Shalu's departure, Ma Qiang sighed and said to Wang Xiu who was standing opposite, "Wang Xiu, you and Guan Hai lead two thousand troops to Jiaodong... If possible, just kill the first culprit."

"

"If we only punish the first culprit, I'm afraid it won't be able to deter other places."

Ma Qiang didn't expect that Wang Xiu was quite ruthless.

"Anyone who dares to fight against the officials with soldiers will be killed!" Ma Qiang thought for a moment, waved his hand and said.

"promise!"

Watching Wang Xiu leave, Guo Jia said, "I think Kou Shanggu will understand what Duke Ming wants."

"Gong Shafu and Kou Xian have a life-long friendship. I don't want him to be embarrassed to meet his former friends in the future..." Ma Qiang looked at Huang Xu and said, "Send a message to Shanggu and explain the matter in detail."
