The young man who holds the power of life and death of the whole family in front of him, the old man of the Wang family is not a stunned young man, so he naturally knows when to give in.

"What do you guys think?"

Sun Quan's eyes were very calm, and the calmness made everyone sitting in the lobby feel a little apprehensive.

"Master County Magistrate, our land is the inheritance of our ancestors for generations. If you say Moling to farm the land, let us spit it all out. Lu refuses to accept it!"

The surrender of the Wang family made the hall a little quiet and gloomy, but there were still some people who objected. At this time, a tall middle-aged man stood up with a fierce face, pointed at Sun Quan in a cold voice, and said, "If you can't convince Lu, I'll consider you Jiangdong sent troops to come, and a certain person would not hand over the fields, do you think so?"

"That's it!"

"Why should we hand over our fields!"

"Even Lord Wuhou can't be so arrogant!"

The patriarchs of a group of powerful local families took the lead in objecting, gritted their teeth, and looked at Sun Quan angrily.

"is it?"

Sun Quan squinted at the head of the Lu family, with a cold smile on his lips, and said, "Patriarch Lu, you jumped too wide, don't worry, your Lu family doesn't need to be wronged, because from today onwards, there will be no Lu family in Moling." !"

"Sun Zhongmou, how dare you!"

Patriarch Lu was horrified, his eyes widened, and he looked at Sun Quan in horror.

"A Jinyiwei family, Hao Feng, Lu De, a hundred households in Moling, you betrayed the interests of the General Zhengdong's mansion, transported grain and ore from Jiangdong to the Jiujiang family, and supported the traitor Yuan Shu. This is proof, please let us go. "As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, more than a dozen Jinyi guards broke into the lobby like tigers and wolves. Shiny flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives appeared in front of everyone. A leading Jinyi guard took out a ledger and took him away.

"Impossible, how did you get it?"

The Patriarch of the Lu family's complexion instantly turned extremely pale, like dead ashes. He always thought that things were done very carefully, but he didn't expect that someone even got the top-secret ledger.

He was originally a pawn buried in Jiujiang by the Lu family, a family in Jiujiang.

"Patriarch Lu is actually a spy from Jiujiang!"

"Jin Yiwei even found the evidence, the Lu family is doomed!"

From the moment the Patriarch of the Lu family jumped out to being taken away, the process was simple and rough, and everyone in the lobby was a little too late to react, and everyone was stunned, and after a while, they discussed in low voices.

"Is there any objection among you now?" Sun Quan asked with a smile, his smile was three points more serious than before, and everyone was shocked and terrified.

With today's situation, Mr. Jiangdong Quan has made things very obvious. Whoever dares to come out to oppose, he will uproot the whole family. The most important thing is that he has a handle in his hand that makes them dare not resist.

Every household has some ulterior secrets, and no one knows how much Sun Quan still controls.

"Master County Magistrate, do you mean that we donate the land for free?" After a long silence, only one person asked in a low voice unwillingly.

"of course not!"

Sun Quan smiled. He knew that these people were being suppressed by him. He stood up and said loudly: "The county government will buy the fields under your command at [-]% of the current market price. It is real money and will never be owed."

If you hit hard, you have to give some sweetness. These families have settled down in Moling for decades, or even hundreds of years. They have a certain background and a deep foundation. He still needs their support if he wants to build Moling quickly.

"At the same time, for the fields you don't have, the county government will also open up a way for you to survive, and give you convenience in terms of business, such as Yanyin, and for example, trading ships..."

Sun Quan's words shook the hearts of many people in the hall.

Salt is forbidden to be sold in Jiangdong, and only those who have a salt guide issued by the general's mansion are eligible to buy and sell.

In the past two years, the Jiangdong army has been opening up maritime trade routes, going south to Yizhou, north to Liaodong, and passing through the north. Countless merchants in Jiangdong are eager to move. At the beginning, the Wu family in Wu County has three sea caravans under their command. Earning a lot of money, many people are jealous.

"The county magistrate's words are serious." A businessman came out, his eyes were red, and asked.

"I represent the Moling County Government, and there is absolutely no lie!"

"My Fang family's [-] mu of land is willing to sell it to the county government at [-]% of the market price!" This is the number one merchant in Moling, the head of the Xiong family, Xiong Ban.

"My Xu family's [-] mu of land is willing to sell it to the county government at [-]% of the market price!" Someone took the lead, and naturally someone couldn't help it. A local tycoon couldn't bear it and wanted to give it a go.

The rest of the matter is simple. If there is a crowd, there are still some troubles. If someone surrenders, the next person will naturally be unable to withstand Sun Quan's suppression.

Although there are still some powerful local families who are stubbornly resisting and will not let go, the matter of moling farming is a foregone conclusion.

[Chapter 242 of the main text, a willing knife]

Moling, located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, has a flat terrain and abundant rainfall all year round, so the area that can be used as arable land is large, and the fields are fertile, most of which are good fields.

However, these fertile and fertile fields are basically in the hands of the local powerful families. Even the amount of food that the county government can receive through taxes every year is not large, which can barely maintain the expenses of the people in Moling.

The fields and tenants under the command of these families are not registered by the county government, accounting for more than half of them. Therefore, the amount of grain that can be turned over to the prefect's mansion is not even comparable to the surrounding counties through taxes alone.

This is the strength of the local powerful family in Moling.

In Moling, they condensed into a group, and confronted the county government with a silent attitude. After condensing into a group, Moling was powerful, definitely the giant and overlord of Moling City, controlling the people's livelihood of Moling City, not to mention the county government, even Danyang's If there is no good excuse for the Sheriff's Office, they would not dare to forcibly intervene in Moling.

After all, not only Moling has these powerful classes, but if the powerful classes in all parts of Jiangdong add up, they will directly form a force that even the Jiangdong family and Zhengdong General's Mansion are afraid of.

However, the new Mr. Quan, the magistrate of Moling County, showed a kind of incomparable toughness.This condensed local power that was directly destroyed.

Sun Quan is not very old, but in the eyes of Moling people, his character is as strong as a tiger. As soon as he took office, he disregarded 21 and [-], and directly took the big farmers in the city to attack them, and forcibly took their fields from these tyrants. The people of Moling were shocked. everyone.

Sun Quan was the first to take down the most powerful Xu family in Moling, and the surrender of the Xu family left the local powerful forces without a leader. Then Sun Quan defeated them one by one through the information provided by the Xu family, and forcibly suppressed the forces that dominated Moling.

Thunder's actions were simple and rude, and they didn't even give them time to think about counterattacks.

"County government announcement!"

"In Moling, as long as there is no land, no matter whether it is a refugee from outside or a local population, anyone can participate in the farming operation organized by the county government!"

Within ten days, the county government of Moling had accepted more than [-]% of the cultivated land in the entire Moling area. When someone had land, the officials of the county government straightened their waists and moved quickly, collectively showing A kind of emboldened toughness, a full-scale farming operation was launched in Moling.

"The garrison of Moling is the people's garrison. The time of garrison is five years. In the first year, [-]% of the grain obtained from cultivation will be handed over. In the second year, [-]% of the more cultivated grain will be handed over. In the third, fourth, and fifth years , You must turn over [-]% of the grain you get from farming!"

The share in the first year and the second year is acceptable to the people in the village, but the subsequent distribution is a bit harsh for the average villager, which made many people in Moling City retreat. .

After all, after hard work, only [-]% can be earned in the end. If the harvest is not good, it is not enough to support a family.

However, there was another sentence behind the county government's announcement, which made the whole Moling city boil.

"During the farming operation in Moling, every person who has completed the five-year farming period will get five acres of fertile land, which he can own!"

This supplementary sentence instantly aroused the enthusiasm of countless tenants and refugees from outside. For them, they can live and work if they can get the land. Even if they only get [-]% of the harvest when farming, they can do it!

In order to leave a piece of land for the children and grandchildren, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.

Therefore, with the rapid support of tens of thousands of people in Moling, the action of garrisoning the fields has climbed to the peak in an instant. Every day, officials are assigned to allocate fields and build farms.
