The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Songjiang Mansion.Qingpu County.It has been under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture since Songjiang Prefecture was established in the Yuan Dynasty.In the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.Huating County (also known as Shanghai County) allocated part of the land.Named Qingpu County.

Zhang Fan is standing on this piece of land now.This is also the place where he lived for many years in his previous life.The vicissitudes of life are reversed.Zhang Fan couldn't see any familiar scene at all.The high-rise buildings and reinforced concrete in the impression have all turned into green farmland.This scene without the slightest modern atmosphere made Zhang Fan feel very comfortable.

It's just that this idea didn't stay in Zhang Fan's mind for long before he was interrupted by the troubles in front of him.Why.Because of Xu Jie and those farmers.

Honestly.Xu Jie had already agreed to Zhang Fan's request because of Zhu Yijun.But really wait for him to get here.He couldn't open his mouth again.Xu Jie always felt that this was like begging others for his own life.Although farmers enjoyed a high social status in ancient China.But for people like Xu Jie who are at the top of society.He really couldn't bear to beg them.

The Xu family has a lot of land under their name.Therefore, many farm laborers are employed.Let Xu Jie try to persuade them one by one.It's really not easy.Even Zhang Fan felt that this method was inappropriate.But……

"Yuande. This... this old man really..." Xu Jie said to Zhang Fan who was beside him in a troubled manner.It's just that the words came to my lips, but I couldn't say anything.

"Elder Ge doesn't have to be like this. I understand Elder Ge's mood." Zhang Fan said.Of course he knew how Xu Jie felt.But he couldn't say something like "Since Mr. Ge can't save face, go back."After all, things are already in front of us.Think of these troubles.For the first time, Zhang Fan slandered Long Qing in his heart.I think this emperor is really paranoid.Does the emperor need any reason to punish his subjects?As the saying goes, "The king wants his ministers to die. The ministers have to die."But this His Majesty insisted on a justifiable name. "Could it be that this is also a protest against the suspicious and indiscriminate personality of his own father, Emperor Jiajing?" Zhang Fan thought maliciously in his heart.

certainly.Xu Jie understood these things very well.It is also impossible for Zhang Fan to persuade Xu Jie like this.But being loyal to the royal family is loyal to the royal family.It's really not easy for Xu Jie to be so humble.

Zhu Yijun looked at it curiously from the side.Originally, Zhang Fan asked him to stay at Xu Jie's mansion to wait.But His Royal Highness the Prince said that he wanted to see the scene in the field.Add some knowledge.Now.Zhu Yijun has long since passed his eye addiction.But it's hard to say that I'm tired and want to go back.Just have to wait here boringly.

It was almost dusk now.Although the summer sun does not set until very late.But Zhang Fan really couldn't wait any longer.Think about it.Zhang Fan called Wang Meng and Liang Chao.He gave them some instructions.The two who got the order left immediately with many subordinates.

"Yuande. This is." Xu Jie didn't know what Zhang Fan was going to do.Can't help but ask suspiciously.

"Mr. Ge, please wait patiently. We will know later," Zhang Fan said confidently.

Xu Jie saw that Zhang Fan was so confident.Also no longer speak.Wait quietly.It's just that he was still a little uneasy.But he saw Zhang Fan's full confidence.My heart is also a little more stable.

After a period of time.The sky was already getting dark.Xu Jie saw someone walking towards this side.But compared to the people Zhang Fan sent out.The number of people who came back was much higher.Wait till you walk in.Only now did Xu Jie see clearly.The only ones who came back were Wang Meng and a group of guards.There are also many people dressed as farmers.Xu Jie still knew some of them.It is the farm laborers who used to work on their own land.

Zhang Fan did ask Wang Meng and others to call these farmers over in the name of the yamen.But he wanted to avoid panic.Just called the man in charge of every household.Women and children were not alarmed.This surprised the farmers.Also stabilized a lot.Zhang Fan's purpose is to bring these people together.Even Zhang Fan, who had almost testified for Xu Jie, had someone summon them.

Xu Jie seemed to understand Zhang Fan's thoughts.But it was the first time Zhang Fan had seen such a collective speech and persuasion like a swearing-in meeting.He didn't know what Zhang Fan was going to do.Zhang Fan is very clear.He understands very well.It is very difficult to persuade a family alone.But bring them all together.The rendering of the atmosphere is relatively easy to form.What's more, these people still agree with Xu Jie in their hearts.Almost everyone has already testified for Xu Jie.In this way.The combination of collective desire and strength can eliminate the fear in their hearts of those minions in Gaogong intimidating them.Of course, these naturally come from later generations.It comes from the introduction to communication studies that Zhang Fan did not learn much in that field of economics.

Almost everyone has arrived.It also darkened.Zhang Fan ordered people to light torches around him.These people didn't know what Zhang Fan was going to do.Get them all out so late.There was a bit of tension at the scene.

Everyone Zhang Fan saw was present.Also not going to wait.After all, Zhu Yijun on the side had already started yawning.for this speech.Zhang Fan is very confident.And he also made some preparations.

"Fathers and elders." Zhang Fan walked up to them.Open your mouth and say.This sentence made him feel a bit like a village cadre in his previous life. "My name is Zhang Fan. I am the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty to inspect Jiangnan."

The opening sentence is intended to serve as a deterrent.Let these people respectfully listen to what Zhang Fan said.Nor would he doubt him.But these farmers are people who have been farming all their lives.Hearing Zhang Fan reveal his identity.He also saw the guards around him and Xu Jie who stood beside Zhang Fan and did not refute.I also believed his words.Hurry up and kneel down to worship.He was called up by Zhang Fan.

"Fathers and elders. Although I am an imperial envoy of the imperial court, I owe my success to the current emperor's favor. Before that, I was also an ordinary citizen. I lived in Qingyang Mansion in the northwest. I am no different from you." Zhang Fan added Said.This is for getting closer.really.Those people listened to Zhang Fan's words.There is no longer fear in his eyes.And there is a touch of affinity.

Zhang Fan didn't look too much.He continued: "The person standing next to me must be recognized by everyone. That's right. This is Xu Jie. I used to be the chief assistant of the cabinet of my Ming Dynasty. But for everyone, Xu Ge is more familiar to everyone. is your employer.

"My folks must already know what I'm going to talk about this time. Mr. Ge is in trouble. You all know it. But what you don't know is that Mr. Ge is about to be killed because of these troubles. Someone distorted Facts. It is said that Ge Lao’s family has exploited the farm laborers who have been exploiting the land under his name for many years. That is you. It made you hungry. Now the land is distributed to you in fear of the imperial court’s investigation.”

Hearing Zhang Fan's words.The people below started talking.They knew why Xu Jie gave them the land.They even blamed Xu Jie for this matter.But they didn't know that Xu Jie would be involved in such a disaster and life-threatening incident.As soon as Zhang Fan said this.Their unwillingness to tell the truth after being threatened by Gao Gong's minions was a little shaken.But it's just shaking.for them.The most important thing is to live in peace and stability.To put it bluntly, this is petty bourgeois thinking.Small citizens will only act for the sake of others when they are completely sure of their own safety.

Zhang Fan continued: "I understand everyone's concerns. However, please think about the days when you were farm laborers. As farm laborers, you just worked for the land of the landlord. Although you don't have to pay taxes to the court, but the farm laborers who don't have land The rent paid to the landlord is more. Many farm laborers are not full enough to eat and owe a lot of money to the landlord. However, have you ever been treated like this on the land of Ge’s hometown.

"As far as I know, Mr. Ge just collects some food from you every year. Although you don't have your own land, but because of Mr. Ge's existence, your life is better than those farmers who have their own land. Especially in the year of natural disasters .Ge Lao not only does not collect rent from you, but also helps you. May I ask where else in the world can I find such a landlord." Speaking of this.Zhang Fan's words became more and more fierce.Half of them are true releases.The other half is fake.But the following people can't see it.

After hearing Zhang Fan's words, those people no longer whispered to each other like before.Instead, he bowed his head.I don't know if it's because of shame or thinking about something.

Zhang Fan knew that now was the time to pursue the victory.He continued: "Think about it, everyone. When Elder Ge knew that the imperial court had ordered a thorough investigation of the powerful landlords in the south of the Yangtze River, he also planned to distribute the land to everyone to avoid risks. Everyone did not agree. However, what did Elder Ge do? Yes. He took everyone's feelings into consideration. He didn't do that. It made him, who could have escaped unharmed, come to such a situation.

"I'm not here to blame you for being threatened by those people and telling lies. But I want you to think about it. If Mr. Ge is really convicted because of this, you may be able to live this life in peace. However Dear elders, can you really spend the rest of your life without a trace of guilt in your heart? If you teach your sons and grandsons to be human, you can calmly say in your heart what you take for granted. But you yourself have violated the words." Zhang Fan said fiercely.He stopped.Give these people some time to think about it.

Xu Jie at the side was stunned by Zhang Fan's words.He knew that these words were nothing more than great truths.Everyone understands.But if you just tell one person, it may not have any effect.And what Zhang Fan did was really smart.This many face to face.Everyone knows what they are doing is wrong.Nature resonates.

"But my lord." An old man said hesitantly. "Those people said that if we dare to testify for Mr. Ge again, they will trouble us. We also know that Mr. Ge treats us well. But we are just farmers. There is nothing else but farming. In case... ..."

"I know what this uncle means." Zhang Fan said with a smile. "Presumably the rest of you are also worried about this. I can tell you here. As long as you don't break the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty, absolutely no one will dare to disturb your life. If someone dares, I will make that person die badly. "

What Zhang Fan said made people feel vicious.But listen to these people's ears.But I feel very satisfied.Someone shouted: "I believe the words of the official. I am willing to testify for Mr. Ge."

That's what crowds are.With the first one in his early years.Others will naturally follow.for a while.The people below all jumped up.

Zhang Fan knew that the matter was resolved.Although Xu Jie didn't say a word.But it was the best way for him to stand beside Zhang Fan.Zhang Fan thanked these people.Hurry up and ask someone to immediately set up a case to record their words and pictures.He is afraid that things will change over time.Take advantage of the enthusiasm these people are mobilizing now and act now.

Xu Jie at the side saw that the matter was resolved.It can be regarded as a sigh of relief.It's just that both he and Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Fan inexplicably.I don't know where he came up with this idea.

Zhang Fan looked at them and smiled.But he didn't say much.On the contrary, this aroused the two people's greater curiosity.
