"You are a shop selling food, how come there is no food?"

"That's right, it's written clearly, the grain shop."

"In the peaceful and prosperous era, what are you hoarding food?"

"If we don't open a shop, we will sue the official."

.........

The grain shop obviously aroused public anger. Not only the people who bought the grain were angry, but even the onlookers were angry.

The shopkeeper in the grain shop was obviously angry too. He half-squinted his triangle eyes and glared at everyone unhappily, "The government offended the Cao Gang. If the government wants to suppress the bandits, it's better to just suppress them cleanly. Now, if you kill the leader and deputy leader of the Cao Gang, you think it's okay. What does the Cao Gang do? What they do is to do is water business. It's okay for us to respect them for a few dollars. Now, they kill everyone when they see them, who dares to travel?"

The reason was because of the Cao Gang, and everyone looked at each other. The King of Jingyue and the Princess were attacked by the Cao Gang on the way back to Pingyang City from the capital. The incident had long been spread throughout Pingyang City. When everyone heard the news, they were all indignant and were injustice for the King of Jingyue.

At that time, no one expected that the Cao Gang's sneak attack would be related to the survival of everyone. At first glance, everyone was stunned. They thought about it carefully and felt that the grain shopkeeper was not without reason.

Although everyone has never dealt with the Cao Gang, Pingyang City is a rich city with many merchants from south to north, and many merchants have been robbed by the Cao Gang. Therefore, the people of Pingyang City have no favoritism for the Cao Gang.

Of course, there are tens of thousands of people in the Cao Gang, and robbery is just a deviant thing that Luo Luo did. As long as real merchants pay the money, they will also protect the merchants. Secondly, when traveling through water, they will inevitably encounter various difficulties. As long as merchants pay a certain amount of money, the Cao Gang will also give enough face and try their best to help solve the difficulties.

For merchants, the Caobang is a double-edged sword, with both benefits and disadvantages. Overall, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

The people of King Jingyue destroyed most of the bandits in the Cao Gang, not only the people of Pingyang City were happy, but also the merchants who came and went from south to north.

The merchants were happy because they got the benefits and did not have to pay the passerby money to the Cao Gang. The people were happy because the Cao Gang was a bandit.

Now, because of the Cao Gang, everyone was unable to eat, and the people began to whine again.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper sneered even more. Humph, there are still everyone behind him who suffer. King Jingyue is waiting to clean up the mess.

In fact, the same is true. The shops in the city were closed one after another. After the people supported it for a period of time, the prices of grain shops that opened the door to do business were sold day by day. After everyone inquired, they realized that the remaining bandits in the Cao Gang were becoming more and more rampant and robbed the ships on the water. I heard that they spoke in order to make King Jingyue look good.

To put it bluntly, they are retaliation against King Jingyue.

Revenge on King Jingyue has nothing to do with the people. But it really affected their livelihoods, so slowly, complaints about King Jingyue flowed out of the crowd.

Lin Fansheng has always been concerned about land reform. He soon received rumors and began to worry again. However, when he first arrived in Pingyang City, he had mentioned the shortcomings of land reform in front of the prince repeatedly, and the prince repeatedly expressed that there was a way to solve it. If he spoke too much, he would be afraid that the prince would be disgusted and implicated Lin Qingqian.

Afraid, he simply went to find Lin Yuan and Lin Jingxing.

"The prince has always taken three steps in one step. He said there is a way, so there is no need to worry." Lin Yuan attached great importance to Zhao Jingyun.

Lin Jingxing also nodded, "The school in the middle school of the academy dropped out of school, and my sister was not sad. I guess my sister and the prince had already discussed it."

The two brothers admired and believed in Zhao Jingyun so much, and Lin Fansheng couldn't say anything else.

Time flies very quickly, no matter how much the noise outside, March is already coming in a blink of an eye.

Before the New Year, the yamen encouraged the people to open up wasteland, and many people still took a wait-and-see attitude. It can be said that only the villagers near Luoyang Town boldly opened wasteland.

The people who first opened the land were still the ones who followed the trend to open the land when they saw the land in Yingzui Village and Yangjia Village. Everyone in Luoyang Town knew that Yingzui Village was the princess’s Niangjia Village, and the Yangjia Village next door was in good terms with the Lin family. If the villagers in the two villages dared to open the land, what would they be afraid of? The first batch of people who opened the land became the first to try the crabs.

It is precisely because they were the first batch of land reclamators that they took the lead. Generally, villagers reported the number of land reclamation acres based on their own situation and worked hard before the beginning of spring. In the beginning of spring, they also caught up with the spring planting.

With the issuance of the land reclamation order, the villagers in the waiting and viewing situation also calmed down, and everyone hurried to open the land reclamation.

Not only were the villagers willing to open up land, but the residents of various towns also reported to the yamen and opened wasteland not far outside the town. As long as they were planted, they would not collect taxes for three years, and after paying taxes in three years, they would be left with some. As the saying goes, if there is surplus grain for the family, people will not worry. With this attitude, there are a lot of people who actively open up land.

In addition, the price increase of urban COFCO stores is unstable and residents cannot buy grain has occurred. Many people are prepared for danger in times of peace and feel that it is better to have more land in their hands. In this way, more people are opening up the land.

Of course, Zhao Jingyun and Lin Qingqian were happy to see this situation happening, which was a good start. The wastelands opened are not allowed to be abandoned and can be bought and sold, but the government must collect heavier taxes in the middle.

This is to prevent the land reclamation order from giving up halfway.

Not only that, the people do not open whatever they want. All wastelands must be reported, and then the government will divide them together, with the fields in one place and the fields in one place.

The so-called large fields refer to five acres of land as the base. In other words, whenever a large field is opened, at least five acres of land must be opened. Then, with five acres of land as the standard, five acres of land are added up. Small fields are one acre as the base and then added up. When the entire wasteland is completely reclaimed, the government will dig a canal in winter, which is completely convenient for the people.

Therefore, after the order for land reclamation was issued, the noble families were angry and the people were benefited. Just as Lin Qingqian thought, Zhao Jingyun was supported by most people in the poor family.

"Is the food that the prince has stockpiled enough?" Lin Qingqian sat beside Zhao Jingyun and asked with a smile.

"The fiefdom is so big, I don't have the ability to take care of everyone." Zhao Jingyun chuckled, "Starting tomorrow, I will distribute the stored grain to the market."

"A drop in the bucket." Lin Qingqian commented.

Zhao Jingyun nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, there will be no chaos. I want to take the opportunity to rectify a group of people. I don't expect that I will charge forward in front and someone will stab me later."

Zhao Jingyun said he wanted to mess with people, and it was definitely not just a joke. Lin Qingqian has been worried about this in the past few days, and the matter at his hands has accelerated a lot. If Zhao Jingyun had not escorted her back to rest every night, she would have stayed in the academy and not come out.

Fortunately, the efforts she made were not in vain. The first musket had already gained flaws with the efforts of everyone. As long as it is slightly improved, it can be tried.

"Don't stay up late anymore. For me, nothing is more important than the princess." Zhao Jingyun was so angry that he pinched her chin and forced her to notice him.

"I won't stay up late." Lin Qingqian waved his hand and hesitated for a moment. She asked angrily again, "The prince cleaned up some aristocratic families and would inevitably have a certain impact on Pingyang City. Has the prince ever thought about how to remedy it?"

"Well, except for the lack of our husband and wife in Pingyang City, it doesn't matter if there are more and less of the others." Zhao Jingyun announced domineeringly.

Lin Qingqian...

Zhao Jingyun's words are translated into modern plain language, that is, the earth will still be changed when everyone leaves it. But he took the opportunity to upend the couple.

However, with Zhao Jingyun's words, Lin Qingqian was finally relieved.

The villagers of Eagle Beak were a little nervous the next day because they found that there were a lot of more guards patrolling around the village. An army of hundreds of people actually camped outside the village.

The villagers had never seen the world. Li Zheng from Yangjia Village even came to Pei Li Zheng to come to Lin Yuan to ask about the situation.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, but did not hide it. "The prince issued a detention order, which is a great thing for the people. But for some merchants and noble families, it has affected their interests. There are many things that the princess lives in the village, so the prince is worried."

Lin Yuan didn't explain clearly what the prince and the princess were worried about, but the two of them immediately understood. The prince was worried that someone would be dissatisfied and came to ask for trouble.

The two of them couldn't sit still anymore, so they immediately went back to find the villagers to attend the ancestral hall for a meeting.

Even the villagers of Yingzui Village went to the Yang family’s ancestral hall. This is the first time that the Yang family’s ancestral hall has been entertaining outsiders.

When Yang Li was explaining the situation, the villagers of the two villages immediately started to make a fuss, and everyone said that no matter what, they had to be prepared.

Just kidding, the prince and the princess are everyone's parents for food and clothing. Some people want to touch their parents for food and clothing, which is awesome.

"Each family puts the guys in the house, sleep at night, etc., and put it smarter. Don't relax when practicing martial arts these two days." Yang Li is a reasonable person. Yangjia Village has always been grateful to him. The princess and the Lin family are so kind to them. Even if they give their lives, they will save the princess and their achievements.

Not to mention how the villagers in the two villages are vigilant, just talk about Zhao Jingyun.

After Zhao Jingyun returned to the city, he quietly summoned all the aristocratic families and merchant families in Pingyang City.

The prince summoned him, even though he knew that Zhao Jingyun would not have any good things to ask them, everyone still sent someone honestly.

"I know you still have food and goods in your hands." After everyone arrived, Zhao Jingyun did not keep it in vain. He glanced at everyone casually.

His eyes were obviously very gentle, but many people met his eyes, but they were chilling all over and were so scared that they immediately lowered their heads. "I will give you a chance. If you open the door to do business tomorrow, I will assume that nothing has happened. I can do it if I don't want to open a business. You can just send the food to the yamen. I will buy it at the normal price in the past."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the room.
