Chapter 276 The Tragedy of the Jingxiang Family!

"Good farmland?"

"Those are the accumulation of our ancestors, how can we hand them over?"

"Two family masters, this is robbery, this is robbery."

“Why should we give away our things?”

Kuai Yue said calmly: "You still don't understand what I just said."

"A new emperor appoints new ministers, which proves that all previous land certificates will not be recognized by the new court."

"My Lord, I hope that all the people in the world will have land to farm and food to eat, so it is most fair and reasonable to divide the land equally and distribute it according to the number of people."

"If anyone has any questions, feel free to leave."

Many family heads who were originally very dissatisfied turned pale, but when they thought about those arrogant and domineering families who were not here today and might suffer unexpected disasters, their resentment instantly faded away a lot.

They looked at each other and said with a wry smile, "We are willing to support the newly established empire of Duke Zhenbei, without hesitation."

“I am willing to give the land to the poor.”

Cai Mao sighed quietly at the side: "You don't have to force yourself. In addition to giving up the land, you also need to give up the wealth accumulated in your family."

"You should know best what happened to the Hebei family, so it's best not to have any evil ideas."

"The families that follow the Kuai family and my Cai family will take out 80% of their wealth, dismiss 80% of their servants, and hand over all their businesses."

"The rest of the families that surrendered gave 90% of their wealth and 90% of their servants to the lord, so that he could use them as military supplies for his conquests."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall exploded.

Everyone looked at Cai Mao and Kuai Yue in disbelief.

"Are you going to kill us like pigs?"

"Why should we donate the wealth accumulated by our family for generations? Why?"

"Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, we have supported your two families for decades and have always obeyed your orders. How come you think you are so powerful now that you don't even let us go?"

"Whose idea was this?"

"Do you really think we have never encountered such a thing?"

When someone takes the lead, there will naturally be people who support him.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue had expected such a scene long ago, and were not surprised at all. They said calmly: "First of all, let me make it clear that this is not our idea, this is the general trend."

"You are all well-read people. Has there ever been a change of dynasty without the death of many people?"

"Which time was not accompanied by the transformation of power and wealth?"

"If the lord wants to rewrite the rules, we need to cooperate."

"It's not that our two families don't have to pay money, but each family can only keep 30%."

"We have known each other for a long time, and I will give you one last reminder: don't seek your own death."

After saying this to Cai Mao, Kuai Yue simply turned away.

In the main hall, the heads of the families all looked pale. They were all smart people, so how could they not understand the threat in the words?

But how could they bear to hand over all the wealth in their home?

But the current situation.

They all shook their heads, their faces full of bitterness.

Before long, everyone went outside. Although there were many delicious delicacies in the hall, no one had such a good appetite.

Outside the Kuai Mansion, people were coming and going, and it was very lively.

But at this moment they were not as excited as when they came in.

"Brothers, we have to follow the instructions from above. If you want to resolve this matter, you can come to my house tonight."

The one who spoke was the Liu family. Although they were not as powerful as the Cai family, the Kuai family had absolute power in Jingxiang, but they were also highly respected among the aristocratic families.

As soon as Mr. Liu spoke, many people said bitterly: "Mr. Liu, this matter is probably not as simple as we thought. This is not the intention of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, but the idea of ​​Duke Zhenbei." "The Boling Cui family has been passed down for hundreds of years, but what is the result?"

"We'd better not have other ideas, otherwise..."

A smile appeared on Mr. Liu's lips: "Who asked you to compete directly?"

"Everything has loopholes, and turning the impossible into feasible is what we are good at."

"If you are timid, don't come. Just wash your neck and wait for someone to kill you!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly, got on the carriage, and drove away, leaving behind a group of people who were still confused.

The night is darker.

Liu family, inside the old house.

Old Master Liu looked at the dozens of family heads in front of him, a smile hinting at the corner of his mouth.

As long as he can overcome this crisis and win over the person in front of him, his Liu family will be able to be on par with the Cai family and the Kuai family in the Jingxiang area.

Of course the most important thing is to get through this stage.

He ordered his confidants to close the four doors and guard every corner of the old house.

"Gentlemen, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. In the past, because of my age, you were willing to respect me a little."

"Today, we declare in advance that we have never thought of becoming an enemy of Duke Zhenbei or opposing him."

The other family heads smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Yes, Duke Zhenbei is so powerful that he is about to create a prosperous era. How could we have the mind to resist him?"

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Not bad."

"Duke Zhenbei is extremely wise, and we absolutely support all his decisions."

"But his orders, when they reach our ears, are different."

"The person delivering the message will have different results."

"Now that Cai Mao has sent my younger sister out, he has won the trust of Duke Zhenbei. The Kuai family has made plans early on and is also one step ahead of us."

"They want to take their family to a higher level, and the Jingxiang area can no longer satisfy their appetite."

"So they wanted to do something nice and sent us all out."

"Hiss."

All the family heads present took a deep breath, their eyes filled with anger.

The curses were all about the Cai and Kuai families being ungrateful and ungrateful.

When the atmosphere was almost brewing, Mr. Liu smiled and said, "If they want to go to the next level, we don't object, but if they step on our heads, then we won't be willing to do that."

"We can't let them go up, or we'll all be trampled down."

"So I suggest we show them how powerful we are."

Although the other family heads were filled with righteous indignation, they all smiled bitterly when they heard this: "Now that Jingxiang is undergoing a major reshuffle, the little power we have is not worth mentioning at all. If they really fight, I'm afraid we will be the ones to lose our heads."

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "You all have forgotten our greatest advantage."

"The businesses of all of us here are spread across almost every aspect of Jingxiang. It can be said that if we work together, the entire Jingxiang will be in chaos in an instant."

“Prices are soaring, people are panicking, what will be the result?”

"The Duke of Zhenbei will only think that Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are incapable of doing things, and will naturally choose someone else to clean up the mess. Then it will be our chance to speak."

"What do you think?"

After a brief silence, the family heads present had a gleam in their eyes, but someone still asked cautiously: "What if we anger Duke Zhenbei?"

"What Jingxiang needs now is stability!"

"This carries public opinion, I'm afraid..."
