People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 454: The Government Must Confiscate All the Land

The blind man's question was very clever, and it immediately divided the villagers present.

The dozen or so families at the entrance of the village had already formed a small group invisibly.

They looked at the other villagers present with strange eyes.

The blind man said it very clearly just now. This official road will definitely occupy some people's fields, some people's land and some people's houses.

But no matter whose house is occupied, the one who occupies the house should receive the most compensation.

After all, fields and land can be exchanged, but where will the house be after it is torn down? The compensation must be higher, so that people can feel more comfortable.

So the dozen or so families at the entrance of the village now have a feeling that I am about to get rich, and I may look down on you in the future.

That's true. In the future, we will definitely live a life of luxury, while you will still have to live a hard life.

Even if we can do some small business on this road in the future, we can do it too. We even have more capital, and in the future we will suddenly become richer than you.

So when they thought of this, more than a dozen families now silently felt that they were superior to others.

The problem that the other villagers were most worried about at this time also happened, that is, they actually didn't want anyone to live a better life than themselves.

They hope that all their lives will be miserable, and even if there is a benefit like building a road, it would be best if no one gives it to them.

They have occupied the fields, the land, and the houses, and we will just do it the same way as before and prevent them from saying anything.

Why is compensation needed?

Especially after seeing those dozen households walking together silently, I felt even more unbalanced.

In fact, everyone has been prepared for this mentality.

Especially for those who are in the martial arts world, they have been in the martial arts world for so many years and have seen too many things.

The most painful thing is that your own family lives a particularly bad life, and then other families live as badly as you, so it doesn't matter anymore.

But if one day your next-door neighbor suddenly becomes rich, I don’t know how painful he would feel.

One would definitely think that he must have done something shameful to cause him to take revenge, and that he must be punished by God.

It would be best if God struck down a lightning bolt and killed his entire family.

Although the road construction and land acquisition have not started yet, some people have already begun to feel that they are going to get rich overnight.

This is especially true for the families living at the entrance of the village, near the village road and the official road. They look down on others.

To be honest, people in the underworld look down on this kind of people, because if they are a little extreme, they will be retaliated against.

These people are so simple-minded that they don't even know how to be patient.

At such a sensitive time, he still maintains a condescending attitude and does not show any humility. We can only say that he is brainless.

Such people cannot keep their wealth even if they have it. If one's virtue does not match his position, disaster will befall him.

The blind man didn't know that those people had split into two factions, but he still said, "So if someone's land is occupied, it is reasonable for them to get some compensation. If someone's house is demolished, they should get more compensation. Others should feel at ease and stop complaining.

Because after the pipeline is repaired, we can set up a stall next to it and sell some local specialties to passers-by and make a good living."

After the blind man said this, someone below made a sarcastic remark.

"In the final analysis, only a small number of people will get compensation, and most of us can only watch from the sidelines. I think most people will not be convinced by this kind of thing."

This sentence was particularly inflammatory. After hearing it, although everyone didn't say it in their hearts, their expressions showed that they were definitely not convinced.

Especially after seeing the expressions of the dozen or so families at the entrance of the village, everyone became particularly angry.

You haven't even started to get compensation yet and you're already acting like this. If people like you were allowed to get rich overnight, you would surely become very successful in the village.

When the time comes, the ones who look down on others will definitely be people like you.

So they would rather not have anything, because once they see the attitude of those people, they know what their expressions will be like in the future.

Therefore, they would rather not build such an official road, and would rather let this official road bypass their own village than build it.

After hearing this, someone immediately said, "Of course, the official road is close to the village entrance, and only the ten or so households at the village entrance will benefit from it. We who are inside can only watch and stare.

The location at the entrance of the village was originally good, and we gave it to them. Now they are getting the benefits, but we are not. Who would be willing to do that?"

This statement clearly states that he is not happy.

But the dozen or so households at the entrance of the village immediately retorted, "Haha, that's a nice thing to say, just give us the best location at the entrance of the village.

Who said that the location at the entrance of the village is fine? I would like to ask, if there are any horse-drawn carriages or horse teams passing by the village, are they causing the noise?
If someone passes by outside in the middle of the night, are we the ones who are frightened too?

And in the past few years, when bandits came, were we the ones who rushed to the front and blocked them from entering the village?
Now we say that the benefits are ours, what benefits have we gained?
The problem is that every day after a large group of people pass by, the dust makes our house dirty.

Every day I worry whether there are robbers coming into the village.

Is this what you call a benefit?

If you wanted to have these benefits, why didn't you take them a decade earlier?

Why did you push more than a dozen of us to the village entrance?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dozen or so households at the entrance of the village immediately found something to talk about.

He immediately said, "Yes, when there is danger, we are the first to rush in, and now when it comes to getting benefits, you think we get the most.

Of course, we have taken the greatest risks and suffered the greatest harassment, so we have gained the greatest benefits. Shouldn't we?
When they get something good, they complain that we get the most; when they get something bad, they wish we could be the first to come. Can you please not be so unrealistic?
We have been neighbors for dozens or even hundreds of years, and have lived together for many generations. We are just a little luckier, but you are so unhappy.

In that case, no matter who gets the benefit, that family will be the unlucky one to be stabbed in the back by all of you, right?
In fact, when it comes down to it, isn't it because the benefits didn't fall on me that I feel unbalanced? "

After hearing these words, the blind man wanted to give a thumbs up to the person who said these words.

Because this is the real reason.

In fact, no matter who gets the benefits, as long as it doesn’t fall on oneself, there will be resentment.

The biggest sin is not putting this money into your own pocket.

No matter how many risks others have taken, no matter how much harassment others have suffered, no matter how many years others have endured fear at the village entrance.

But as long as the benefits brought to those families at the entrance of the village do not fall on you, you deserve to die.

They even hope that after the land of those people at the entrance of the village is expropriated and their houses are demolished, the compensation received can be shared by all the villagers.

As for your family's land being lost and their houses being torn down, that's because your family is unlucky. Just like more than a decade ago, why did they push those dozen families to the most dangerous place? It was all decided by drawing lots.

You are just unlucky.

It should be like this at this time. You can't be too lucky. If you are too lucky, it proves that we made the wrong choice ten, twenty or even hundreds of years ago.

Who can admit that they made the wrong choice?

I can't admit it. If I do, I'd be stupid.

The blind man sat next to the wood, listening to those people quarreling, and he knew everything that was going on.

This is the most original idea of ​​these people.

Saying that there will be no compensation or that they are afraid of occupying land is actually all nonsense.

The most important point is that no matter whose land is occupied or whose house is demolished, the money must be shared by all the villagers and it can only be fair if it is spread evenly.

When people in the underworld saw this kind of scene, they felt very contemptuous.

These villagers said on the surface that they were afraid that even if they received compensation, they would not dare to ask the government for compensation.

If I ask the government for it, will they accuse me of rebelling and then execute me or send me into exile?

In fact, that's all nonsense. What do they want?
What they want is that they don’t care whose house is demolished, but the money must be divided equally.

The whole family cannot benefit, or a small number of people cannot benefit while the family itself does not benefit.

Jealousy will produce the most evil thoughts at this time, and even hope to sacrifice the interests of others to obtain one's own greatest benefit.

The official road needs to be repaired, and the money will be shared among everyone after it is allocated. Then we must be allowed to set up small stalls along the official road so that we can live better in the future.

As for the family whose house was demolished, it would be best for the government to build them an ordinary house like the previous one.

It’s better not to build it so well because then we’ll be jealous.

As for the occupied fields and land, we can fill them in from other corners, but it cannot be too good, otherwise we will be jealous.

We feel most at ease if this is the way it is handled, and we also think it is the fairest.

It would be unfair if those whose houses were demolished and land were occupied were given a little more benefit.

Because we can't let those people have too much luck.

At this time, people in the martial arts world were also discussing what I was talking about.

"No wonder the Saint said these are the most difficult problems to solve."

"That's right. Don't underestimate these ordinary people. They actually have quite a few tricks up their sleeves."

"Don't think that the old blind man is a fortune teller who is eloquent and knows people's hearts very well, but in fact, in this regard, we have to admit that those ordinary people really think a lot."

"They don't care whether it makes sense or not, and they don't care whether it will disgust others. As long as they can benefit from it, that's the best solution. As for whether others will suffer losses because of this, they don't care."

The gangsters were laughing on the sidelines when they saw that the villagers had already started quarreling.

It's a simple matter for them to quarrel with each other.

That is why your land should be expropriated but ours cannot be expropriated.

Why should you get compensation while the rest of us can only live a miserable life?

this is not fair.

Some people even say it directly.

It would be best if all people’s land and houses were to be torn away, and then the government compensated them so that we can live a better life. Only then will we allow this, and this is the result we want.

This is what we feel is particularly fair and just.

As for your dozen or so families, is it because you are lucky?

Actually not.

Because we are all lucky.

The reason why we chose to build the village in this place is because our ancestors chose this land in this place.

So it’s not because you are lucky, but because our ancestors were lucky.

Since our ancestors chose this place together, why do only your two families benefit from it?

That is all due to the achievements of our ancestors, so we should all share it together.

The person who said this is truly a genius, he simply put all the blame on our ancestors.

They all believe that this is because the ancestors chose this place well, not because you guys are lucky.

So since we all benefit from our ancestors and we all have the same ancestors, we should all make fortune together.

Only in this way can we live up to the original intention of our ancestors in choosing this land and this place.

The dozen or so households at the entrance of the village were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.

But after all, there are only a dozen of them. How can they shout louder than hundreds of people?
For a moment, the atmosphere was at a stalemate.

Finally someone spoke up, "It's useless for us to say so much. We still have to wait and see what the government and the court will do."

Then someone else said, "Yes, didn't the Saint Lady say that she wanted to save all living beings and make all our people live well? Then we should consider our practical problems.

We can’t just let one or two people benefit, we have to make sure everyone benefits.”

"I think that the fields, land and houses of all the people living in the area where the official road is to be built should be expropriated, and then they should be compensated.

Only then will everyone be calm and willing to let the official road pass through their own village.

As for the other issues, let's not talk nonsense. If this point is not met, I think the people in other places will be as unwilling as us to let the government build this official road.

We would rather walk on this muddy road and let those who do business or pass by not stop in our village."
