Tang Bin was not stage-frightened either, and said to Chen Hu:
"Let them wait in the lobby of the state capital, and I will come right away."
Then he got up and went to the lobby of the State Shepherd's Mansion.
In the lobby of the state capital, there were hundreds of fat, raw faces with fat bellies.
He saluted Tang Bin with a flattering face.
Cao Hong looked displeased and sat first on the left.
From time to time, he would say a word to Ding Wei who was beside him.
Ding Wei also nodded seriously, with a solemn expression.
Yang Xiu chatted happily with a few people who looked like gentry there.
Lu Yu, Cui Zhouping, Cui Yan and the others formed a circle, discussing something together.
The atmosphere in this scene was somewhat unexpected.
Tang Bin cleared his throat to remind them that he had appeared.
Everyone quickly turned around and bowed to Tang Bin one after another.
"See Lord State Shepherd!"
Tang Bin smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Excuse me, everyone."
"I just returned to Jizhou yesterday, I don't know if you are here today, what is the important thing?"
After hearing Tang Bin's words, a nobleman rushed forward and said:
"Your Excellency just returned to Jizhou yesterday, and the horses and horses were exhausted. It stands to reason that we should not bother you if we are honest."
"However, I have admired you for a long time, and now I hear that you have returned to Jizhou, and I am all very happy."
"Today, Jizhou is suffering from drought, and my lord must have come here for this."
"As a person from Jizhou, I also want to contribute to Jizhou."
"So, each family prepared some food and prepared to donate it to the adults for disaster relief."
Ok?
These people... are so up-to-date?
Tang Bin swept his eyes.
See Yang Xiu with a smile on his face.
Needless to say, the matter was probably his idea.
Lu Yu, Cui Zhouping, and Cui Yan nodded frequently.
It seems that these people also know the inside story.
However, Cao Hong, who was sitting on the left, kept looking unhappy.
Ding Wei frowned even more.
The expressions on the faces of these two people he trusted the most were not very good.
Among them, I am afraid there is something tricky!
Therefore, Tang Bin secretly made calculations in his heart, and first appeased everyone in front of him, saying:
"I thank you for your kindness."
"If Jizhou can survive this year's predicament, you will have to contribute a lot."
Hearing Tang Bin's words, the person who had just spoken just now had his eyes wide open, and said:
"My lord is serious. I will do my best to share the worries of your lord. How can I call it any credit?"
"It's just that, with the blessing of your lord, I have also developed some industries in recent years. At present, I need some small expansion. I hope that your lord can give me some convenience in this regard."
"If your lord still needs food, just ask!"
Ok?
In other words, these people need to expand their industries, so they donate food in exchange for policy relaxation.
Food is indeed needed this year to stabilize people's hearts.
These people are also very kind, and they come to deliver food in exchange for an expansion permit.
It sounds like a win-win situation.
However, something always feels wrong?
Tang Bin glanced at Cao Hong, who still looked ugly.
Nodding his head, he said: "Okay, I know about this matter, and I will discuss it with my staff after the meeting is over."
A group of gentry heard this, with joy on their faces, and said:
"Then I'll just wait for your lord's good news."
The gentry and gentry retired one by one.
Yang Xiu, Lu Yu, Cui Zhouping, Cui Yan and others came up to report their work status this year.
Except for the drought, everything is in order.
After Tang Bin understood the situation one by one, he asked them to go back separately.
Only Cao Hong and Ding Wei were left.
Tang Bin then asked:
"Uncle Zilian, Shuli, I feel something strange happened today, I wonder if you can tell me what went wrong."
Ding Wei got up and cupped his hands and said:
"My lord is really perceptive, there is indeed a big problem!"
Then he said to Cao Hong, "Uncle Zilian, tell me."
Cao Hong put his hands on his knees, sighed, and said:
"Zixiu, you are indeed very perceptive, and you immediately recognized the problem."
"Since you have been in charge of Jizhou, you have made Jizhou rich in three years through your reforming fields, fertilizing, building water conservancy and large-scale farming."
"These big clans in Jizhou have also seen the benefits brought by your method."
"So, they also want to plant on a large scale, so they began to merge land more recklessly."
"Many people have already made their minds on Guantian."
"The expansion of the industry they said is actually just a pretext, so that they can more blatantly invade the people's land."
Chapter 168 I am a rich man, do I need to curry favor with the nobles?
After listening to Cao Hong's words, Tang Bin said thoughtfully:
"That is to say...these people want to exchange a little food for more fields."
"In order to achieve their goal of rationally annexing the land?"
Ding Wei replied, "Indeed."
"So my lord must not set this precedent."
"If they are allowed to annex the official land, most of the grain produced in Jizhou will fall into their hands."
"Originally, this year's grain supply would not be so scarce. It is because they have united to purchase the surplus grain, resulting in the state government having no grain to collect and unable to provide disaster relief."
"If the food is in the hands of the state government, not only will the people be able to survive this year's drought smoothly, but the food supply in Xudu will not be cut off."
After listening to Ding Wei's words.
Tang Bin remembered that Lao Cao was eating boiled beans alone that day.
The majestic prime minister, the eternal traitor.
Because the food was stuck in the neck, he could only eat boiled beans to satisfy his hunger.
Even if a prime minister is like this, the people are even more miserable!
Tang Bin never expected that Jizhou would change after only one year of going out!
Thinking of this, Tang Bin couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
"Yang Xiu, Lu Yu, Cui Yan, Cui Zhouping, what is their attitude towards this matter?"
"A few of them are not ordinary people, it's impossible not to see it?"
Ding said:
"My lord, Lord Lu Yu and two Lord Cui are both from the rich local families."
"Family interests are involved, and most of them can't help themselves."
"As for Yang Dezu, he has become one with the family."
After Tang Bin listened, he sneered and said:
"This tasteless brother is really worrying."
After Tang Bin finished speaking, his face turned cold and he stood up.
"The idea of attacking Guantian is to destroy my foundation and cut off my lifeline!"
"These people dare to stretch out their hands, I will chop off their dog's paws!"
Tang Bin's eyes burst out with a murderous look, and said:
"Shu Li, make a list of the aristocratic families who came today, and inform Nightingale to take action."
After listening, Ding Wei nodded and said, "Here!"
Then, Tang Bin said to Cao Hong:
"Uncle Zi Lian, you must mobilize the elite soldiers from the field to cooperate with you at any time."
"I want to destroy these aristocratic families within a month!"
After hearing this, Cao Hong hesitated and said:
"Zixiu, this matter involves a lot, even Lu Yu, Yang Xiu, Cui Yan and other important officials are involved."
"If you tear your face apart, I'm afraid..."
Tang Bin sneered and said:
"Uncle Zilian is worrying too much."
"With my reputation, what kind of talents can I not recruit?"
"It's a big deal, I'll let Xu Yuanzhi come back to be Jizhou Biejia."
Cao Hong still had concerns, and said:
"However, if there is a full-scale conflict with the aristocratic family, I am afraid that within the territory of Jizhou, we will no longer be able to win the support of the noble family."
"Without the support of these people, I'm afraid even you, Zixiu, will struggle."
Tang Bin smiled.
No wonder Cao Hong would choose to endure such a violent temper.
It turned out that he also deeply understood the importance of winning over the nobles.
but!
What he didn't expect was that Tang Bin didn't need to win over the nobles!
In the simplest terms, Tang Bin himself is an invisible rich man.
Holding soap, soap, restaurants and other profiteering industries.
Then we have to develop coal mines.
In the next step, he will take over the rights to the salt industry and iron ore mining to the State Shepherd's Mansion.
