The Ming Dynasty talker in the box

Chapter 35 Just die first
Li Hengqu raised his hand again to signal everyone to quiet down.

"Let me ask you, if you were asked to divide it, how would you divide it?"

"Of course we should learn from King Li Chuang, and we can share it equally." The scholar said immediately.

Everyone also agreed that this division was the fairest, and I guess no one would have any objections.

"Well, tell me now, this field is divided into fat and thin. How do you extract the fat to make up for the thin?"

"For those who already have fields, how do you extract more to make up for the less? If they were given the same number of fields as you, you would not be happy, right?"

"Also, do you know how to allocate the rights to use agricultural tools and livestock, and how to divide labor and manage the materials used in production?"

After asking the three questions, the audience became silent. Li Hengqu glanced around and found that more and more people were gathering in Gaojiabao, and even the outside of the city wall was crowded with people.

He didn't speak loudly, and he didn't know if those people crowded in the back felt lonely, but he never doubted the talent of ordinary people passing on word of mouth.

"Just now, you were fighting for the Gao family's money and grain. Do you think you can manage the agricultural cooperative well like this?"

For the first time, Li Hengqu showed a sarcastic look to everyone. Now that his prestige has been established, the appropriate posture of a high-ranking person can make people more awe-inspiring.

"Master Xingxing, we really haven't considered what you just said. Please help us clear up our doubts."

Yes, yes, Lord Walking, please clear up our doubts.

"I just told you the way to solve your doubts."

Li Hengqu pouted at the Gao family members who were piled together in the audience:
"These operations that you don't understand are what they are best at, so if you absorb them into the agricultural cooperative, the problem will be solved."

But······
No, absolutely not...

In this case, how can we take revenge?

"Take a long-term view and don't just focus on temporary pleasure. When you learn the entire production process from them in the future, it won't be too late to decide how to deal with them." Li Hengqu raised his voice to suppress everyone's dissatisfaction.

"As a human being, you must learn to delay gratification."

But, alas, after listening to Li Hengqu's words, many people beat their chests and feet with envy, feeling oppressed and uncomfortable.

"Okay, you drag all the males of the Gao family to the observation deck."

After hearing this, the farmers in the audience inserted the wooden sticks into the ropes tied behind the Gao family, and then carried them up to the viewing platform one by one.

The men from the Gao family screamed in pain. It is estimated that the arms of those fat guys were dislocated due to the weight of their bodies.

"Master Gao, I won't let everyone kill your Gao family, what do you think?" Li Hengqu looked at the head of the Gao family with a smile.

The head of the Gao family's rosy face had long turned pale due to fear and lack of oxygen.

However, when he learned that his life might be saved, a trace of redness flashed through his pale face.

"Thank you, Lord Walking, for not killing me. Thank you, thank you."

The head of the Gao family really wanted to kowtow to Li Hengqu, but since his hands were tied behind his back, the way he tried to kowtow was like a rocking horse for a child to ride, which was very funny.

"Mr. Gao, I won't let everyone kill your Gao family members. I didn't say I won't kill you."

Li Hengqu's tone was still gentle, but in the ears of the head of the Gao family, it was more chilling than a cold knife.

"But, but..." The Gao family was so frightened that they could not speak.

"I don't know what crimes you have committed against the common people in the audience, but just by taking refuge with the Manchus, there is no need for you to live."

"However, I am not the only one who voted for the Qing Dynasty in the entire Ming Dynasty. This is the general trend, and I am following the trend of the times." "Now that I am here, then I am the sky, I am the general trend, and I surrender to you. People’s behavior is unpleasant.”

"but······"

"Don't reason with me, this matter just doesn't make sense."

······
Li Hengqu was too lazy to say any more. He signaled to the farmers on the stage that they could deal with the head of the Gao family as they pleased.

Although this group of common people will listen to me and refrain from embarrassing the Gao family for the time being, it will always be a problem for them not to vent their pent-up anger.

Therefore, it is a good choice to use Master Gao's life to calm down everyone's emotions. Anyway, this guy has lived for more than 80 years, so he will cooperate and die.

Li Hengqu's order to allow the head of the Gao family to be dealt with at will suddenly made everyone excited.

They immediately rushed forward, slapping and spitting, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

"Mr. Gao is finished!"

Li Hengqu stood up, called Long Jiu, and walked past the rest of the Gao family who were in extreme panic as they were bleeding from urine and feces.

They came to a room that was extremely luxuriously furnished. The moment they closed the door, the noise in Gaojiabao immediately disappeared.

Li Hengqu nodded with satisfaction. This monk's work was indeed soothing.

"Since you have agreed to take over the affairs of the Farmers' Association, you need to deal with the current affairs."

"Ok!"

How to arrange for the thousands of hungry people outside?How to temporarily solve their food and clothing problem?How to solve their problem?How to coordinate the distribution of supplies?

This is something that needs to be done right now. Li Hengqu's scalp feels numb just thinking about it, so let's leave it to Long Jiu. Just, um, cultivate her ability to do things first.

Li Hengqu found a good reason for his laziness.

"You can do these things later. If you encounter any trouble, come to me immediately." Li Hengqu silently said sorry in his heart.

Long Jiu took a deep breath: "Okay, I will definitely get this done."

"Well, I will ask the monk to cooperate with you. He is a person with good ability." Li Hengqu was a little embarrassed.

After Long Jiu left, he asked Gerou to make some food for him, and then he lay on the soft bed and fell asleep. When he was woken up, it was already dark outside.

"How is the situation outside?" Li Hengqu asked Gerou to squeeze his shoulder while eating dinner.

"You are queuing up to receive supplies. Mr. Li, you are the most incompetent man I have ever seen. Do you know how chaotic it was outside? You can't bear to let a little girl Long Jiu handle it?"

"Ahem, Long Jiu will be a person who will do great things in the future. There is no harm in practicing in advance."

After Li Hengqu finished eating, he drove Ge Rou out who still wanted to hide. He needed to check the box to see what happened during this period.

He habitually clicked on the black full-length portraits of Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui to see if they would respond to him.

Li Zicheng's black full-length portrait remained as usual, without any movement. This was what Li Hengqu expected.

He casually called out to Wu Sangui's black full-length portrait a few more times.

Seeing no response, and just as he was about to drag away the full-length statue, Wu Sangui's voice came from the screen.

"Haha, my lord really missed me at first."
