Look at the mountains and rivers I have drawn

Chapter 647 A New Strategy
Ye Yan frowned, his face full of thought. It seemed that he didn't expect that everyone would resist the proposal so much. Could it be that he was afraid that he would take back the land?

While thinking, he stroked his chin, trying to find a breakthrough point.

When Xiao Ke heard about this, he hurried back, looking very flustered. Seeing that Ye Yan was fine, he was relieved.

While panting, he sat down on the chair in front of Ye Yan, pouring water for himself very skillfully.

This action disturbed the contemplative Ye Yan. He looked up at the person who came, and found that it was Xiao Ke. He smiled and asked, "Why are you back?"

"Aren't I afraid that you won't be able to resist the gossip from the people? So I came to see you."

"Do you think I'm too fragile? If I was so distressed by the things I encountered every day, I would have been pissed off."

Ye Yan raised his eyebrows, as if he was surprised that Xiao Ke would feel that he would be influenced by these people. After all, he was not such a mother-in-law before, and when the two of them were fighting against each other, the fight was comparable to this one.

Xiao Ke pursed his lips, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, and said with a smile: "If you care, you will be chaotic, if you are concerned, you will be chaotic. Isn't this afraid of affecting your emotions?"

In order not to put herself in an embarrassing situation, Xiao Ke changed the topic very cleverly, asking Ye Yan if there is any way to reduce the public's resentment now?

Hearing the question, the smile on Ye Yan's face eased a little, and his expression was a little stagnant, obviously he hadn't thought it through yet. After all, this is not a trivial matter. As a master, he is under a lot of pressure.

At this time, Dazhu came over and suggested, "Why don't we take back all the land and give these people who don't know how to be content a blow!"

Who knows, Ye Yan firmly rejected Dazhu's proposal after listening to it. This kind of approach may offend everyone. It is inappropriate to think about it. Water can carry a boat and capsize it. When something happens, nothing will happen It's that simple.

"No, these people are so resistant to our decision now. Aren't they afraid that we will take back their land?"

"It's not like we won't pay it back..." Da Zhu was obviously still a little unwilling, and struggled a bit.

Ye Yan shook his head with a slight smile, but still refused, his heart was full of pressure, thinking of a trade-off, the people first, and he couldn't offend everyone.

He looked at the scenery outside the window, and his mind turned rapidly. What should he do to make it acceptable to the public?It is impossible to force it now, I am afraid that it will break the hearts of the people, so we can only soften the rigidity!
Seeing Ye Yan's serious thinking, the other two looked at each other, and silently shut up to give Ye Yan a quiet environment, and consciously stopped disturbing him.

The two approached quietly, and stayed away from Ye Yan together. Da Zhu curled his lips and asked, "Why did Ye Yan disagree with my proposal?"

Compared to him, Xiao Ke can understand some of Ye Yan's thoughts. Ye Yan is probably trying to stabilize people's hearts. After all, he is above one person and below ten thousand people, so he can't afford to offend these pillars.

Seeing that Xiao Ke didn't answer, Dazhu continued: "I just want to exchange one thing for one thing..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a male voice who couldn't hide his excitement, "You, what did you just say?"

The two of them were taken aback by Ye Yan's sudden agitation, and Da Zhu replied dully, "One thing for another?"

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!" Ye Yan had a suddenly enlightened expression.

Stepping forward, he patted Da Zhu on the shoulder, "Thank you for your enlightenment!"

Da Zhu was a little confused by the photograph.Huh? Did he say something?

Ye Yan happily announced to the two of them that he was in his heart, "Now I have a method that can not only win back people's hearts, but also make our previous plan come true."

Xiao Ke raised his eyebrows and asked impatiently.Signal Ye Yan not to whet his appetite.

"My idea is to let those who do business and want land to hand over the twelve taels of gold they bought before. If they don't hand it over, then the land will still be ours. If they hand it over, the land will be considered their own."

"Oh? One thing for one thing?" Xiao Ke smiled, and immediately understood the deep meaning of Ye Yan's words.

Dazhu was still in a daze, and asked Ye Yan what he meant urgently. Xiao Ke was amused and laughed. Ye Yan motioned him to explain to Dazhu, and then they started to act.

Ye Yan called his servants and prepared to write a notice, and then let the servants be responsible for publicizing the notice.

Dazhu now understood Ye Yan's intentions, and murmured that he wanted to help. Ye Yan smiled lightly, and agreed to his request without refusing.

Finally, under the discussion and planning of the three of them, a perfect notice was freshly released. Ye Yan read it carefully several times, felt that it was feasible and very satisfied, and then handed it over to his servants.

What they didn't expect was that within a day after the notice was posted, it had already spread among the people, and countless people went to Ye Yan's mansion to see the notice.

"Those who do business need to pay ten taels of gold; those who cultivate land need to return the land to the court..."

Relying on his height advantage, a tall man saw the content of the notice at once, and read it thoughtfully.

As he read it, those outsiders who couldn't see it also understood what was going on.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion and excitement.

"Master Ye's proposal, I think it's very good."

"Whether it is business or farming, he has taken care of it."

There was an endless stream of voices agreeing with Ye Yan's approach, and suddenly a voice of strong disapproval came in.

"No, the notice stated that if the land is returned to the court, is there any reward? Businessmen need to spend ten taels of gold in exchange for the land. It's not because they sold the land to Mr. Ye for ten taels of gold. What about us? We don’t have anything? Are we going to give Mr. Ye land for no reason?”

This statement was well-founded, and disharmonious voices immediately appeared in the crowd, thinking that Mr. Ye was taking advantage of those farmers.

A warm and peaceful voice sounded from outside the crowd, "Little brother, first of all, I want to praise you for your thoughtfulness, but...I have to tell you that I gave you all the land you used for farming for free. .”

Attracted by this voice, everyone followed the reputation, and found Ye Yan who appeared at some time, standing outside the crowd with a smile on his face, with Da Zhu and Xiao Ke beside him.

The man was embarrassed by Ye Yan's words, his face flushed immediately, he looked very embarrassed, and he choked back what he was about to say at the beginning.

Ye Yan was very considerate and didn't push him anymore, but changed the topic in a timely manner, "You should have seen the notice, the main purpose of my doing this this time is to let those who need the land use it to their heart's content. If you don’t need it, just stay with me for the time being, and I’ll take care of it.”

Ye Yan heard the servant say that it was very noisy outside, so he wanted to come out to have a look, and the other two had to follow no matter what, so as soon as the three of them came out, they heard the man spreading rumors.

After these words, coupled with Ye Yan's behavior, the people who watched the theater immediately more than doubled their favorability for Ye Yan. After Ye Yan's explanation, everyone understood the profound meaning of Ye Yan's behavior. Without wasting land, people who need it can use it, and at the same time, it can increase the amount of food distributed to planters.

So they stopped questioning and praised Ye Yan again and again. After all, Ye Yan was turned around by this action, and it made a good impression on everyone.

But the person at the beginning, seeing that the situation was wrong, had already quietly left the crowd. Facing such a situation, he was speechless and felt very ashamed.
