Chapter 208
Liu Yu'er, as a maid in the Prince's Mansion, became a county magistrate. Such a legendary and inspirational experience made many people want to be a servant in the Prince's Mansion.
However, there is no chance, because no one is needed.
Of course, Liu Yu'er's kindness was also envied by many people, even filled with hatred, including Master Liu and his gang of bullies.
In the hall of the Cheng family's mansion, Cheng Suguang called a group of people who 'used to be' famous in Lu County to gather together to discuss major issues.
Cheng Suguang was protected by people in Linzi City, those high-ranking clan elders, so everyone here looked to him as their leader and would be the first to ask Cheng Suguang for instructions if anything happened.
"Master Guang, we can't survive this day, if Liu Yu'er continues to be the magistrate of Lu County, I'm afraid we really don't need to exist."
Master Liu is about to eat dirt recently. After being rectified by Liu Yuer, he has clear soup and little water every day, which is similar to ordinary people, but it is several times better than ordinary people. After all, he does not need to worry about eating.
Cheng Suguang sat on the main seat, glanced at everyone, turned to look at Master Liu, and said, "I know you are all suffering, but that girl can't move for the time being, otherwise there will be a big mess."
Master Liu was very puzzled, that Liu Yu'er was just a maid beside King Qi, why he could play wild on them.
In addition to Mr. Liu being upset, there is also Wei Quyang, the fish head who rents out fishing boats to fishermen. He used to get [-]% of the commission for renting out fishing boats, but now it has become [-]%.
Although they didn't lose anything, this made them very unhappy, because the fishermen became richer and their pockets became more and more dry.
Wei Quyang complained: "With such a low commission, I don't want to rent out my big ship anymore."
Of course, this is out of anger. If they don’t rent it out, they will have a stable source of income, just like everyone here owns a large piece of land. If the people are not allowed to cultivate it, they will lose their income.
"I think we collect too little money. If we follow this model, we have to plan carefully if we want to have a good meal in the future." Wuyouren also said that his family's fields were completely remodeled by Liu Yuer, and also said This is King Qi's arrangement to forcibly cut their income.
When it comes to income, they are also very difficult. Not to mention the food for a large family, the money for human relations also needs a lot of money to get through, otherwise you think no one will care about you.
For example, Cheng Suguang, everyone sitting here has to pay a large sum of money to him every year, otherwise they might not be able to enter this circle.
Seeing that everyone has difficulties and dissatisfaction to vent, Cheng Suguang squinted his eyes for a while. In fact, he also hated Liu Yuer, the person who made troubles for him, but there was no way. .
What could he do? In order to protect Liu Yu'er, he even asked people to watch him and prevent the people below from causing trouble.At this point, he was very helpless, because as long as he showed up once, his home would be immediately besieged by a large number of martial arts troops.
Today's gathering is to appease the restless people, his Cheng family has already been besieged several times by the martial arts army.
Cheng Suguang made a gesture of calmness, and the people who were whispering in the room stopped and looked at Cheng Suguang one after another.
Cheng Suguang said: "I will make up for your losses this year at one time, and cancel the tribute to me first, and wait until this annoying county magistrate disappears."
The people present thought they heard it wrong, because what Cheng Suguang said was too powerful, but Master Liu was the first to jump out, "Master Guang, how can this work, we are willing to pay tribute to you every year, and we will never Unwilling."
However, Mr. Liu's words were too hypocritical. He had also complained privately that the burden of paying tribute was too heavy, but now in order to show his loyalty, he had to jump out at this time, otherwise he would not be able to be reused by Cheng Suguang in the future.
The others didn't speak, but on the surface they behaved almost like Master Liu, but they looked at Master Liu with contempt in their eyes. They couldn't understand Master Liu's behavior the most.
They gathered here today because they hoped to gain benefits from Cheng Suguang. They sabotaged their good deeds several times, and they all knew that there was Cheng Suguang's shadow.
Thinking that there are still a long time ahead, I feel that in the dark days, I hope to get a little light. Otherwise, in the days of increasing income and reducing expenditure, the source of money will be reduced, but the export of money will not be blocked. What should I do when the resources are drained? , they dare not take risks.
"That's right, paying tribute to you was also agreed before. You suddenly stopped now. Are you planning to give up on us old people?" Wei Quyang also said.
Cheng Suguang said firmly: "This year it will be decided temporarily, and we will adjust it next year. Another point is that I will never leave you alone."
Everyone was relieved that they were able to dominate Lu County for many years because of Cheng Suguang's cultivation, so many people stayed with Cheng Suguang and stayed in this small place of Lu County with the idea of repaying their kindness.
"Then I can rest assured, as long as Master Guang doesn't dislike him, I am willing to follow Master Guang all the time." Master Liu said.
"So are we."
"All."
Those present expressed their opinions one after another, saying that with Cheng Suguang's support, life would not be so sad in the future.
Cheng Suguang was a little tired, "Go back first, I will discuss the matter here with the clan elders, and then make plans."
In fact, the elders in Linzi are also having a hard time now. Since the money from the state treasury of Qi is used to build and support the army, the suppression of these elders will naturally not be light.
They have never been Zhong Wuyan's opponents. They were supported by King Xuan of Qi before, relying on their nepotism and Tian's blood relationship, they wantonly expanded their power and occupied a lot of resources of Qi State, causing Qi State to lose a lot of income.
The country is getting more and more bloated by them, which makes Qi country a little bit tied up in doing things now. Changing the nature of Qi country is not something that will happen overnight. Everything should be done step by step so that the country will not be paralyzed.
Wei Quyang, Master Liu and several people were plotting how to find trouble with Liu Yu'er. If they couldn't face it head-on, they had to look for a dark place and prepare for a sneak attack. One hit would kill Liu Yu'er forever.
"Brother Liu, is it really okay for us to do this?" Wei Quyang was a little timid, after all, Cheng Suguang just told them to stop, so he just did it.
Master Liu smiled and said, "Didn't we do this kind of thing less before?"
Several people made eye contact. Everyone here is used to a domineering life, but now they are suddenly restricted everywhere.
For example, once they bully some civilians, they report to the county magistrate, and officers and soldiers will come to arrest them immediately. They are also afraid of officers and soldiers, after all, soldiers represent the power of a country.
