As soon as Governor Yu arrived, he killed three people, who happened to be the three families who had been the most active in instigating the tenant farmers during this period.

Tang He and the others had done some research. In the first two days, they thought of killing them first and then subduing the others. This would be quicker, but who knew that they had no results at all, so they changed to another strategy.

At this time, Governor Yu killed someone, and everything in Qizhou Governor's Mansion was quiet. The next day, Governor Yu went to the countryside to inspect with the inspection officials from the capital.

The Zhu family, the Chai family and the Zhang family were angry and afraid, but because they were not familiar with the new governor, they were afraid that if he stayed in a barbarian place like Yunzhou for a long time, he would have barbarian characteristics and would be killed if they disagreed with him.

them.

Although I can use this as an excuse to defeat him in the end, my dead people cannot be resurrected.

They did not dare to risk their lives to predict the future of the governor.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but the Zhu family, Chai family and Zhang family are not barefoot. On the contrary, their families have a big business and luxuriant branches. They wear satin shoes with exquisite embroidery, not to mention bare feet.

My feet feel uncomfortable even when standing on slightly rough ground.

So they don't dare.

Then it can only be because he is ruthless and afraid of violence. Obviously, this Governor Yu is a man of violence.

Governor Yu seemed to know that one should strike while the iron is hot, so he and Tang He proposed to go to the territories of the Zhu family, Chai family and Zhang family first.

Tang He readily agreed.

So a group of people moved around.

This time, the soldiers brought by Governor Yu, the officers and soldiers of the Governor's Mansion, and the imperial guards they brought from the capital, directly drove all the tenants who had caused trouble some time ago to the open space.

Governor Yu was not as gentle as Bai Shan in his work. As soon as he stepped forward, Da Ma Jin Dao received looks of hatred and fear from everyone.

Governor Yu didn't even frown and looked at Tang He.

Tang He smiled at him and asked Bai Shan to go forward and preach.

Bai Shan, who was wearing a light red official uniform, stepped forward and stood in front of everyone. He loudly but gently told them why the court wanted to take back these fields and what would be done with these fields in the future...

Governor Yu standing with a golden sword:...

This was a bit beyond his expectation. Why should these imperial policies be preached in such detail?

When he was in Yunzhou, a considerable number of the people in the city were soldiers and exiled prisoners, and they had to obey orders and prohibitions. All he had to do was give orders.

He glanced at Bai Shan and felt that it was a bit annoying for him to talk to people in a clear and thoughtful way, so he kept looking at Mr. Tang with his eyes.

Master Tang ignored him.

Yushi Liang and Yushi Ren also stood aside with serious faces.

Slowly, the keen Governor Yu realized something was wrong, and he looked at the tenants standing below.

The anger and fear on their faces dissipated a lot, and some people even raised their heads and looked at them seriously, with tears in their eyes.

After Bai Shan finished his speech, he pointed at Tang He and said: "This man is my superior officer and the chief officer appointed by His Majesty to inspect here. With him here, I dare not speak nonsense, so you can believe my words."

Then he pointed to the governor Yu and said: "This one is the new governor of Qizhou, your governor. The governor feels pity for you and others who have lost their land, so he came here specially to see you."

He looked at Governor Yu, and Governor Yu looked at him, while the tenant farmers below raised their heads and looked at Governor Yu.

Governor Yu stepped forward and said, "When the land here is redeemed, I will ask someone to sign a lease contract with you. If you are interested in renting, you can directly talk to the village chief."

His eyes fell on the director coldly, "Anyone who is interested can rent a lease. You have already written down the name for me. If I miss one person..."

The chief immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Yes, yes, I will not dare to miss it."

Governor Yu nodded.

Bai Shan waited for a while, but when he saw that he was silent, he had no choice but to take a step forward, raised his hand to suppress the growing discussion, and said: "The governor pities you for being poor and weak, and the saint has repeatedly told me to treat you well."

, so the official land that was redeemed this time will only be charged 40% of the rent if it is rented out again."

As soon as these words came out, the discussion became even louder. Several old people knelt down and kowtowed, saying loudly: "Thank you, the saint, thank you, the governor——"

Seeing this, other people also knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, Saint, thank you, Lord Governor——"

Governor Yu raised his eyebrows high, glanced at Bai Shan first, then softened his expression, got down from the high platform built by the table, helped the old people at the front up, and sighed: "That's all, you have been beaten by someone before.

Why should I argue with you about being deceived and persecuted? Let past mistakes be forgotten. From today on, you can work hard."

These words were sudden, but the old man who was being supported burst into tears. At the same time, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground. They knelt on the ground with a plop, leading everyone to kowtow again, this time more sincerely.

In fact, he even swallowed and said loudly: "Thank you sir, thank you sir, it is a great kindness."

Mr. Tang slightly raised his eyebrows at Bai Shan, "Look, I will say that he is both rough and subtle, and he is also very cunning in his belly. Just this sentence can instantly win over the people's hearts that were calmed down by Bai Shan's nagging."

.

Mr. Tang clasped his hands in his sleeves and thought, as long as Governor Yu keeps his word and rents the redeemed fields to them at 40% of the rent without increasing taxes or gifts, these people will definitely swear loyalty to him.

He is a local big family, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to shake him.

Governor Yu also felt the people's support. His eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but look back at Bai Shan after helping him up.

He is not a fool and has four years of experience as a governor. Even though the situation in Yunzhou is different from that in Qizhou, the people are similar and they are all ordinary people.

Even in Yunzhou, it took him four years to have such popular support.

But it was him who led his men through life and death to exterminate the bandits and fight against the Turkic horse thieves who appeared from time to time on the grassland. He fought for four years.

But here, he just stood on the high platform and said a few words.

Of course, he didn't think that directly speaking these few words would have such a big effect. If Bai Shan hadn't paved the way for nearly an hour...

It seems that this Lord Bai is not useless.

Yu Cishi's heart was moved, so what he promised to rent yesterday was really as soft-hearted and kind-hearted as Tang He said, and he was stupid because of reading, or was it... intentional?

Governor Yu smiled slightly and withdrew his gaze.

The rest was none of Bai Shan's business. After appeasing the tenants, Governor Yu and Tang He turned around and took their people to Zhu's house.

Bai Shan took the bamboo tube from Daji's hand and took a sip of water, and sighed with Daji: "Manbao prepared a lot of medicine, but he forgot to prepare medicine for my throat."

Daji said: "Master, you talk too much, why not let other adults come in next time?"

Bai Shan sighed, "Who should I let go? We can't let Senior Brother Tang and Yu Ci go, right?"
