This is definitely a Hongmen banquet. The landlords and wealthy businessmen have guessed it a long time ago. It is estimated that Liu Yang will make use of the problem during the banquet, but they dare not not come. Just kidding, if you don¡¯t give Liu Yang face, then you are really impatient. up.
Fortunately, Liu Yang still abides by the rules, and will not do anything to them because of his greed. Liu Yang only thinks about the common people. The landlords in the Taihu area have changed their sex in recent years, and no one dares to easily detain the common people. The wages and the land rent have also been lowered, just because they are afraid that Liu Yang will stare at them.
What Liu Yang said today made many people feel that this is the rhythm of attacking them, but Liu Yang didn't go on talking, and no one dared to ask. Seeing Liu Yang walking into Cuiyunxuan, he dared to follow in a hurry.
Cuiyunxuan resigned from all the guests today, and cleaned it up cleanly, just to entertain Liu Yang. All the dishes in the back kitchen are ready and can be served directly at any time. As for the work, as for the dishes, the guard platoon sent someone to check them, and there are still people watching here all the time. For the safety of the camp, you can't be too careful.
The crowd came in crowded, so someone arranged the seats, but the center was naturally Liu Yang's place, and the people at the table with him were indeed named by Liu Yang himself, besides the farmer, Li Heping, a teacher and a doctor, And one landlord, two factory owners, plus two government officials, this table is enough.
Chunmei didn't sit down. This kind of occasion doesn't mean that Chunmei can't sit down on the table, but that Chunmei doesn't want to sit down. There must be someone to wait on my uncle. The more this kind of occasion, the more important it is to show that my uncle is different and superior to others. Anyway, Chunmei enjoyed it.
This is of course different from ordinary people. Regardless of whether they are rich or not, there is only a dedicated waiter standing behind Liu Yang, even though it is just pouring wine and water.
Fortunately, people are already used to it, and no one said Liu Yang was arrogant, maybe they dared not say it, maybe they couldn¡¯t say it, and of course there was no need to say it, Liu Yang was not in every way, but he was a hero of the War of Resistance and killed countless enemies. It is an indisputable fact that it has guaranteed the safety of the Taihu Lake area and saved countless people from water and fire.
The common people are absolutely grateful to Liu Yang, and even worship Liu Yang. Liu Yang not only keeps them safe, but also makes them well fed and clothed, so that their children can go to school, and they can afford to see a doctor if they are sick. This is something they dare not Thinking about it, no one has starved to death in the Taihu Lake area in recent years, which is evident.
As for the landlords and factory owners, they also have ideas. Although Liu Yang suppressed them a little bit, he did not kill them all, and he gave a lot of support in preparing factories or doing business, but Liu Yang always kept an eye on the land. Bit by bit, it was pulled out of their hands.
It¡¯s hard to say that I hate it, but it¡¯s true that I absolutely don¡¯t like it, but I have to curry favor with Liu Yang. At that table, the landlords felt panicked, sitting there was a status symbol.
"Everyone, it's a blessing for Huzhou to win a big victory the day before yesterday and kill nearly 10,000 enemies. I'm quite excited, so I invite you all to celebrate together. There is absolutely no other meaning today. Let's eat and drink at ease¡ª" Maybe I felt depressed , Liu Yang stood up and raised his cup, dispelling the worries of the landlords.
"Come on, let's have a toast together, for the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, let's toast them¡ª" Liu Yanggao raised the wine glass, and raised the atmosphere with one sentence.
When it comes to the soldiers fighting the enemy bravely, no matter whether it is ordinary people, the country gentry present, Ang or government officials, no one is not really grateful. It is not the soldiers fighting the enemy bravely. Once the city is broken, the little devils will come in , it must be of no benefit to them, the little devil is inhumane, he may not necessarily do anything, he will definitely do all kinds of evil.
"Respect the soldiers who fought bravely¡ª" Almost everyone subconsciously shouted after Liu Yang. No one dared to be lazy and play tricks, even those who usually claim not to drink, now have a drink.
Regardless of whether they are sincerely grateful or not, none of the soldiers who died in the battle showed the slightest disrespect, because that is Liu Yang's bottom line, the Chinese people's bottom line, and the entire nation's bottom line.
"A lot of brothers died, I'm still alive, I respect the heroic spirits who died in the battle¡ª" Liu Yang thought of those brothers who died in battle at this moment, and no one felt more deeply than him.
This time the atmosphere was lifted, and after Liu Yang drank a glass, Liu Yang raised his glass again: "This is the third toast to all the heroes who died for China, no matter whether they are soldiers or peasants, or whatever their status, as long as they are Those who die for the country and the nation are all British?, this is a toast to them, do¡ª"
No one was lazy and slippery. After drinking three cups, many people felt that they couldn't hold on anymore. Fortunately, Liu Yang didn't continue, but just waved to the crowd: "Then everyone is free, you must eat and drink well, don't worry about it." Saying that I didn't have enough to treat the guests, and I don't recognize me when I go home to arrange-"
?Everyone burst into laughter, and the scene became more relaxed. Everyone knew that Liu Yang was joking, and no one would think so even if he was really not full.
? Once you start to be casual, everyone will start eating and drinking, but it¡¯s not easy to make too much movement at first, but you will let go after drinking and drinking, and you will start talking more, and you are willing to eat¡ª¡ª
While drinking with everyone, Liu Yang asked about the situation of everyone present, such as whether there is anything that needs to be improved in school as a teacher, whether there is any need for help in life, or is it tiring to be a doctor, and whether there are any difficulties in the family¡ª ¡ª
Everyone was also happy to talk to Liu Yang, and even the landowners and squires who drank wine talked about their own affairs. Liu Yang once again told them not to worry, although he would increase the land for the common people, he would never use force. It will be like this at any time, so that the landlords can rest assured, but in the end, Liu Yang still reminded them: "If you are willing to return the land to the farmers, it is best to find a way that is acceptable to both parties, otherwise the land will be in your hands. , sooner or later you will regret¡ª"
Of course Liu Yang won't go into details, after all, that's for the future, and he can't be too clever. Of course, there are many other things in it, but it's enough to remind them, no matter whether it will misinterpret his meaning, even a few If the people hand over the land to the common people, the common people will also benefit a lot.
At the time of the Republic of China, land annexation was very serious. This is the reason why many people could not eat. This is why they chose to serve as soldiers. In fact, how many ordinary people know what killing the enemy to serve the country, they do not have such lofty ideas, what they think is only It is not so terrible to be a soldier if you live to eat enough, because if you don't serve as a soldier, you may starve to death.
This situation is very obvious throughout the country, especially in Sichuan, where there are often a dozen or so members of the family, but no one mu of land, and the land leased by the landlord¡¯s family, the rent even reaches 60%. Yes, but the family can't even have a full meal.
If the Taihu Lake area hadn't been caused by the little devil, many landlords would have fled long ago, and then there would be unused land. Liu Yang took the opportunity to divide it up, which is considered to be in the light of the little devil.
Of course, there is another reason for the secret service camp to call on the people to reclaim wasteland. This is to ensure that the people have land in their families. Whether it is forced or for other reasons, Liu Yang asked the landlords to lower the land rent. Maintain 20% of the land rent, or even 10% of the land rent.
Over the years, the landlords have lost some land than before. There is no way, Liu Yang does not allow it to be abandoned, and any abandoned land will be forcibly taken back, and no money will be given. Well, with the abundance of grain, the common people hope to go out to work instead of working for the landlord, so there is no one to lease the land of the landlord's family, and the land rent can only be reduced again and again, and it is only to maintain the ability to pay. There is not much left from the government's taxes.
Now the landlord¡¯s family has no surplus food, but almost all the landlords are insisting on it, and some have already started to hire workers and give them wages, so that there are still a few left, which is better than being forced to take it back by the government. Of course, the landlord They also began to purchase a large number of machinery, which is also the basis for the rapid development of agricultural machinery.
Agriculture and industry are complementary to each other. The development of agriculture benefits from the promotion of agricultural machinery, which improves efficiency and, of course, increases output. This is what Liu Yang wants.
? Speaking of today, the landlords also have bitterness to say, some people listened to what Liu Yang said, maybe something really happened?
However, those talents from various industries are quite active. Today's scene itself is a time for them to show off. Liu Yang also pays more attention to them, keeps chatting with them, talks about the future with them, not only encourages them, but also expresses their revitalization in the future.
Seeing that after drinking for three rounds, Liu Yang was already a little drunk. Suddenly, there was some commotion at the door. Liu Yang followed his gaze and looked over, but was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Kong Jie to come so late. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, when Liu Yang was slightly dazed, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Kong Jie was still the same as before, even if she was standing there quietly, she was still so proud, she looked straight over, and never looked at anyone else except Liu Yang, but no one would blame her for anything, since She shifted her gaze to Liu Yang, and didn't say a word, just ate food in a dull way¡ª(Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)On the body, I didn¡¯t say a word, I just ate my food¡ª(Remember this site¡¯s website: www.hlnovel.com
