Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 872 872: Hongmen Banquet, Shoveling Shit (Part 2) [Please vote for me]

From time to time someone would cast their gaze.

Everyone has no appetite, but this one eats well.

The man doing the cooking turned a blind eye.

"Master Lin, this lady next to you is very strange. I wonder which niece she is?" A family head once apprenticed to the old man, and the two families were close together, so he came to get close to her. Based on his understanding of the old man, the old man would not bring the female family members of the clan to such an occasion. But considering how special Shen Tang was, the head of the family couldn't help but suspect that this female monarch was a gift brought by the old man to flatter Shen Tang.

This shows Lin's loyalty.

The old man glanced at Lin Feng beside him: "When this child was born, you also attended her full-moon banquet and first-year-old banquet. She is Guan Sheng's daughter and my great-granddaughter."

The "Guan Sheng" in his mouth was the name of Lin Feng's biological father.

Being the same age as the head of the family, Lin Feng invited many close friends from aristocratic families to his full moon banquet and first birthday banquet.

The head of the family was surprised: "Guan Sheng's daughter?"

If he remembered correctly, the Lin family moved away in batches. As the head of the family, Guan Sheng first took people to the destination, managed the local power, and settled things such as properties and fields. After everything was in order, other tribesmen set out in batches. In order to appease people's hearts, the Lin family's contemporary matron stayed behind with a large number of female relatives until the last group. It happened to be that one that encountered an unexpected incident.

The female gentleman in front of me should be among them.

Lin Feng put down his chopsticks: "Lin Feng has met Uncle Shi."

She was dressed very solemnly today. Her skirts were piled up after she sat down, and the inscriptions and accessories around her waist were covered. She couldn't see her movements because of her small movements. The head of the family said with emotion: "If Guan Sheng knew that you were still alive, he would be very happy..."

If you look carefully, Lin Feng's eyebrows do have traces of old friends.

but--

He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Lin Feng was so young at that time, and she was at the most chaotic point of the situation. I don't know how she, a delicate daughter of a boudoir, survived. How did Master Lin recognize Lin Feng back? Having been homeless for many years, it is normal for him to lack some education.

Lin Feng's food appearance is naturally not bad.

It's just that she has been with the army all year round, and food is precious. When it's time to eat, she has to rush to the canteen. If she still eats with the careful and slow eating method of the aristocratic family, she may not even be able to drink the leftover soup. Over time, he has learned to eat quickly. Lin Feng doesn't care about any dish that cannot be picked up with three chopsticks in a row, or that is strictly prohibited from picking up all the dishes on the plate. The chopsticks are as fast as thunder!

Lin Feng casually gave a perfunctory hum.

When she returned to the Lin family, her great-grandfather had introduced her in detail about the family members and their interactions. The uncle in front of me took good care of Mr. Lin. During the holidays, he would visit Mr. Lin's left-behind elderly man when he was not busy. There are calculations and there are also feelings.

"These are carefully prepared, Shibo, don't you want to try them?"

The sorrow in the face of the head of the family almost overflowed.

He sighed: "I don't have much appetite."

The more exquisite the dish, the more it looks like a destitute meal.

Lin Feng smiled and comforted the cheap uncle: "It's not a waste of money. If the Lord really wants to kill all the family heads, she will not waste this meal at all..."

Food is so expensive!

This table has both meat and vegetables, and the taste is good. It's not as salty and casual as a big pot dish. Isn't this standard high?

The head of the family looked at Lin Feng in surprise. He didn't say what was in his heart. What did Lin Feng call Shen Youli?

It seems to be... the lord?

Just as he was asking for proof, the old man who had not moved his chopsticks also took a few bites. As soon as he entered the mouth, he noticed the difference. Just talking about this cup of Yumai Pork Ribs Soup, all the bones have been removed, leaving the meat stewed until it is soft and rotten. It melts completely as soon as you eat it, no need to chew.

Look at other people's soup cups.

The bones of the ribs are all there.

It's just that the other house owners couldn't do the indecent act of chewing the ribs and spitting out the bones in public, so they just drank two sips of the soup from the Yumai Spare Ribs Soup, and the Yumai and Spare Ribs didn't even move. The head of the family wanted to ask, but everyone else was immersed in eating and swallowed the question.

Everyone was worried and had a loss of appetite. Except for Shen Tang who frequently added rice, the others only used their chopsticks a few times.

Lin Feng had eaten and drank enough and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Another soldier brought several plates of cakes.

"My lord's goodwill has been wasted..." Lin Feng glanced at the nearby food tables with his peripheral vision, and said with some regret.

If I had known it would be such a waste, I would have saved a lot of money by just giving them boiled water. Her muttering was heard by the old man, and he said: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink..."

The heads of the house are not here to eat either.

When the meal was almost done, a row of burly military men collected the food cases. Seeing the wasted food, Shen Tang was not happy: "Today's dishes are crude and not to your liking?"

Before anyone could smooth things over, she clapped her hands again.

"How can a banquet be entertained without singing and dancing?"

In the open space of the martial arts training ground, there were two groups of hundreds of soldiers performing dances.

It's said to be a dance performance, but it's actually just adding some movements to daily practice moves and rehearsing formations. When changing formations, the slogans are loud and the movements are neat. These soldiers are all brave warriors, and their specific strength is unclear, but if they all pounce on them, they will have no problem chopping the head of the family into a pulp. Everyone was so frightened watching this song and dance that they didn't even dare to touch the mats with their buttocks.

Shen Tang clicked several times without finishing his thoughts.

It took a long time for this fatal dance to end.

Shen Tang did not let them retreat, but asked them to guard the various areas of the martial arts training ground. To be precise, they surrounded the martial arts training ground and stood at their posts with determined expressions. Only one of the family heads felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, unable to sit still.

Their swordsmen and axemen are all hiding in the dark.

Shen Youli's skills were clearly displayed.

The threats and intimidation in his behavior are self-evident.

Shen Tang did not continue to torment them. He said a few more words and praised the wonderful singing and dancing, and then entered the theme of today's banquet. First, let’s focus on praising some of the most generous family heads, and secondly, praise the family heads who have a good attitude. They are very promising and are willing to respond to her call to benefit the people. This family tradition is worth learning from.

The faces of those who were named turned green and red. It was unclear whether Shen Tang was mocking or complimenting them. At the same time, they had to endure the strange looks from the family heads around them. I can't vent my anger.

"Jun Shen has given you too much praise, and I am too ashamed to deserve it."

A few people can only deal with it as long as they don't make mistakes.

"No need to be modest, you all deserve this."

He should be killed when he should be killed, but he should also be praised when he should be praised.

No one was interested in this boring "commendation meeting". They didn't believe that Shen Tang called them here just to have a meal and praise a few people. Finally, Shen Tang revealed his destination: "Actually, there is one more thing to discuss with you."

Her smile was a little embarrassed.

All the family heads secretly tensed their nerves.

Shen Tang said: "Everyone knows that Shen comes from a rough background and doesn't have a crooked heart. Shen doesn't understand those roundabout temptations. In order to eliminate unnecessary misunderstandings and prevent unnecessary confiscation of homes and families, we will do this today. We are open to discussion. I will make an offer, and you will see if you can accept it."

After saying that, another line of soldiers came over carrying plates.

There was a thick volume of letters placed on the plates.

"Shen Shen started from a grass-roots team of three or five people, and now he has three and a half million soldiers and horses. He walked from Heyin to Longwu, and from Longwu to you. I just thought about it, there are national seals, soldiers and horses, and land. , founding the country should not be a problem. But I recently discovered a big problem. I have land, but the names of these lands are not named Shen. How come my people still get discounts on the places they conquered one by one? I am still intact. The leader of the country? Some people said that I can be the leader of the country 70% of the time, so I was curious——"

Shen Tang rested his elbow on the bronze table.

He leaned forward slightly, pointed his fingers at the table and looked down.

"Where did the remaining 30% of me go?" After saying that, he smiled and leaned back on the table. He sat in a bold and casual posture, but the question he asked made everyone present's heart suddenly tighten. "This 30% is for me." The soldiers and horses were negligent and failed to defeat them?"

Everyone's backs were wet with cold sweat at some point.

But Shen Tang didn't seem to notice: "Shen was born in Cao Mang. What does Cao Mang mean? The common people at the bottom of the civil society are not like the gentlemen here who worship famous teachers and are full of knowledge. Shen Tang doesn't have much ink in his stomach, and he can't even understand a map. , I would like to ask you to help me take a look and see what the soldiers and horses have neglected!"

Talk about maps, and come up with maps.

When several military men carried the huge map shelf into the martial arts training ground and put it down, a lot of dust was stirred up. Everyone's hearts were in their throats. At this time, no one dared to say a word, and there was only the sound of the wind.

Shen Tang waited for a long time and sighed with a little regret: "Alas, the map is really difficult to recognize. Even you don't know it..."

"Jun Shen, I recognize you."

This female voice was particularly clear at that time.

Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was Lin from Lingzhou.

However, it was not Old Mrs. Lin who spoke, but a pretty young lady beside him. For a moment, everyone's eyes were complicated, but when they saw Lin Feng stand up and reveal the pink heart monogram on his waist, their expressions suddenly twisted.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded to Shi Bo on the side.

Shen Tang held his chin: "Lingde? Why are you here?"

She opened her mouth to reveal Lin Feng's identity, so Lin Feng no longer had to pretend to be unfamiliar with him. He took out a scroll of letters from his sleeve and handed it over: "Lord, this is all the land owned by the Lin family."

Lin Feng's uncle almost lost his temper and broke out.

Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at the old man: "Master Lin!"

The old man said calmly: "Lingde is now the head of the Lin family. Although I am her elder, I can't stop the head of the family from doing anything. If she insists on handing over the Lin family's property, she will have to support us old guys in her old age. , as long as she can afford it."

"But-but she-"

"With Lingde's talent, even Guan Sheng can't beat her. She is more than enough to be the head of the family. Don't worry!"

Lin Feng's cheap uncle: "..."

Is that what he's worried about?

Let alone Lin Feng, a female monarch, Lin could not control even a dog at the door. But since Lin Feng spoke as the head of the aristocratic family, the situation was completely different! Will other families follow or not?

Lin Feng gave away all his land!

All the land, including family land!

"This is really a shameless betrayal!"

The other family heads already wanted to kill Lin Feng.

Judging from the conversation between Lin Feng and Shen Tang, they could only think that this incident was arranged by Shen! For a moment, everyone cursed Shen Tang in their hearts. I’ve seen people who look ugly when they eat, but I’ve never seen anything this ugly.

What's the difference between her and Ming Zhan?

Shen Tang looked at Lin Feng with relief.

The cubs raised at home are really good.

He said a few hypocritical words: "The land is so important, and if you give it all at once, how will the people in the house make a living?"

Lin Feng calmly cooperated.

"In addition to the land, the family also has other savings."

Shen Tang didn't need to be a mind reader to know that the heads of the aristocratic families here had broken their defenses. Most of the Lin family's ancestors had sent greetings: "It's not possible. Isn't this just sitting in vain? Although I come from a rough background, I am not a bandit. Wouldn't this move be embarrassing? revile?"

"Master, where did these words come from?" Xie Qi stood up from among a group of family heads, "My lord once said that everyone should have land for his subjects, and we are also under the rule, so naturally we will treat them equally."

The entire property was confiscated to facilitate the sorting out of accounts.

When the domestic property accounts are cleared and each family can still be allocated fields, these fields will be cleared.

Shen Tang knocked his head: "Look at my memory."

She asked the family heads to take a closer look at the letters in their hands: "The contents inside are the result of many days of discussion between me and my staff. See if you can accept it. In fact, I think it's okay."

It's actually not bad.

Shen Tang only confiscated their land and tenants, leaving all other property untouched. After the land reform is completed, each family can report the number of people in the clan. Regardless of male or female, those over the age of 15 can rent land from the local government office. The exact number of acres will not be known until the government re-measures the statistics, but it is definitely enough to feed one person. The clan members have the right to cultivate these fields from the age of fifteen until their death. After death, the direct minor heirs can have the first right to lease these lands.

These properties cannot be bought or sold.

To be precise, no land within Kang's territory could be bought or sold.

In other words——

Shen Tang wants all the land in the family's hands.

She looked at everyone's faces as colorful as a palette and said with a smile: "Of course, you can also refuse -"

All the family heads: "..."

Can they say no?

Haha, if you refuse, go out sideways.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tang changed the topic and rejected their idea: "Don't be afraid, everyone, I am not an unreasonable person. Can I be a violent man like Zheng Qiao who kills people if he disagrees? I said, I can't do anything. It can be discussed easily. But - you have to know that if the land is in your hands and it is private property and not national property, some things will be difficult to handle."

"What's wrong?"

The headstrong head of the family couldn't help but ask.

Shen Tang explained seriously: "It's like this. In order to increase the yield per mu, only the fields owned by the country can apply for cultivation of improved high-yielding grain seeds. The national destiny will also provide protection to these fields to ensure that the soil is fertile and the weather is smooth throughout the year. Privately owned ones cannot Including. There are three shortcomings in these fields, and the harvest fails every year...then you can only consider yourself unlucky! The tax is also high!"

“Tax inconsistency?”

Shen Tang said: "Of course they can't be consistent! How can this be consistent? The national destiny can guarantee a place's smooth weather, and private property is also in this area, enjoying the benefits brought by the national destiny. These national destiny are not allowed to pay national transport taxes? Do you want to go whoring for nothing?"

"Everyone also knows how precious the destiny of the country is."

"So - private land, the tax will be 100 million higher!"

"If you can bear the national transportation tax, that's fine."
