Chapter 504 Recommendations
"In order to build the railway, the court issued a notice a few months ago. Don't tell me the prince, you didn't see it!"
Since you are the village chief, you will have a certain prestige among the people. It is better to talk to him than to ask other people for ease.
"Look...see...see."
When talking about this, the old man was obviously not confident enough. If His Highness wanted to punish them because of this, they would not have any chance to defend themselves.
"Since you have seen it, you dare to do this and be more bold in attacking the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty? You must know that these soldiers are all elites of the Tang Dynasty. Without their sacrifices and their resistance to foreign enemies, how could you have such a stable life now?
If it weren't for the clear regulations in the military camp that the soldiers could not attack the people at any time, would you think you could just stand on the upper hand?
To be honest, when I led them to fight to wipe out other countries, I did not cause any harm to these soldiers, but what did I see just now?"
Xiao Zhengtai said with a look of evil spirits that they could sacrifice their lives for the Tang Dynasty without any regrets, but they could not tolerate the people they protected treating them like this.
"The weapons in your hands are even more fragile than paper in front of the steel knife. As long as they are willing, they can turn this place into a Shura field in a few breaths.
But the soldiers did not do this. It was not that they were afraid of you, but that they would rather be hurt themselves than hurt you, because you are the people, the people they want to protect, not the enemy."
Xiao Zhengtai's words can be said to make all the soldiers' eyes red. The treatment they just suffered made them feel very unwilling and even feel extremely depressed.
Now that he heard His Highness protecting them so much, many soldiers' eyes turned red, and the anger in their hearts disappeared, and they all looked at His Highness, and they firmly believed that His Highness would give them the same fair statement.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince...I...this is not what we mean, just..."
After a while, the old man's face suddenly became very exciting. They had never considered the feelings of the soldiers. They did too much and had even hurt the soldiers with the so-called weapon in their hands, but they still maintained compassion for themselves.
"If you have anything to say like a man, just say it directly, don't hesitate."
Xiao Zhengta frowned and said unhappily that the soldiers were so sad that they felt very uncomfortable, so he still had no good expression on these people.
"Your Highness, we are not a person who is ignorant of the good and bad. Whether the court built a railway does not matter to us, but it is absolutely impossible for it to go from us.
We will never allow anyone to destroy the Feng Shui here. Even if we are beheaded, we will never compromise. As the saying goes, the dead are the most important. In this mountain range, the ancestors in the village are buried for generations. How can we watch you disturb their peace!”
Seeing that the village chief didn't speak for a long time, many villagers began to speak out. What they really care about was not the railway, but the ancestors buried in the mountains.
"That's right, our grandfathers live in the mountains, and no one can come and disturb their peace!"
"That's right, Your Highness, it's not that we are against the court. In fact, we can't compromise on such a thing!"
"I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to decide for us!"
...
As the people talked about their own difficulties, they all knelt down and prayed.
"Everyone invites you, because the court did not consider it comprehensively enough, and I didn't expect that there was such a reason here."
Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand to signal everyone to speak. He didn't expect that there was such an inside story in the matter. No one was secretly lying to deceive the public. The real reason for these people's opposition was the deceased ancestors in the mountains.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were also a little dumbfounded. They did not expect that the people would bury the corpses of their ancestors in the back mountain. This was a terrifying thing for many people.
This cannot be blamed for the ignorance of these people. Even if someone in later generations wants to throw away your ancestral grave, no one would agree. It would be light to hit you.
Even those aristocratic families would spend a lot of money to produce some funeral objects, which could satisfy some of the wishes of their ancestors. At the same time, they also hope that their ancestors could protect their current home underground, which is a good way to sustenance for spiritual sustenance.
"I am justified in my opinion that you will not pursue your guilt. Now, I will give you a choice to choose a Feng Shui treasure land for your ancestors and then move them over?"
If it was just this reason, it would not be difficult to solve this problem, so Xiao Zhengta once again turned his attention to the village chief. After all, such a thing may be much more effective than his words.
Let our ancestors go to a better place for Feng Shui?
"No, as the saying goes, you should be buried in peace. Since the ancestors have rested in peace, they must not disturb them. This is absolutely not possible."
No villager was willing to agree to Xiao Zhengtai’s suggestion, but he refused very simply, and he didn’t even think about digging the ancestral grave.
"Your Highness, the deceased is the greatest, please don't make things difficult for the villain."
The village chief sighed heavily. It was obviously impossible for the people to continue building the railway because they resisted so much. The thoughts of these people were not something he could control.
"Uncle Cheng, if you don't go here, what's the most suitable place?"
After Xiao Zhengtai nodded slowly, he looked at Cheng Yaojin again. Cheng Yaojin personally made the route map and route planning. As for the backup route, it definitely exists.
"Your Highness, if you don't go here, the best route is to pass through the village!"
After hesitating for a while, Cheng Yaojin said, "You must know that the amount of money required to travel through a village must be much higher. This is also the time when he chose the route, he should try his best to avoid crossing the village."
"Village Chief, ask everyone, since you don't want to alarm your ancestors, then I don't know if you are willing to move out of here. The court will never occupy your village in vain. They will choose a place for you in other places and build a new house for you. I wonder what you think?"
After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Xiao Zhengtai nodded slowly and made another suggestion. He didn't believe it. In the face of absolute benefits, these people can still stick to these principles.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
The old man swallowed his saliva with difficulty and asked uncertainly. How could this be possible if he wanted the entire village to move away at once? What's more, they are the people they are the duty. What can they do if they leave here?
