Chapter 663 Pork Chop

Zhu Zeqing asked calmly, "Why do we have to re-measure the fields just to have trouble with the locals?"

Feng Chaoyang opened his mouth and could not answer this sentence.

Everyone knew what was going on. Now that Zhu Zeqing was pretending to be stupid, if he said it, wouldn't he be playing into their hands?

Feng Zhang raised the cup and gently addressed the thorny issue just now, "We all know how much the two adults serve the country and the people, but today we are inviting the two adults to drink. There is no way to relax while talking about business. Come on, have a drink. I would like to propose a toast to you two adults."

Zhu Zeqing and Ling Fengjin did not intend to let the Feng family express their position today, so they did not say anything more.

After testing each other out and knowing each other's thoughts, the drinking party broke up.

...

On the way back, Ling Fengjin said worriedly, "Feng Zhang is right. If we want to re-measure the fields, we are going against the wealthy gentry in the entire Yangzhai County. Every piece is a huge boulder."

Zhu Zeqing said, "It's difficult. The bigger it is, the more sense of accomplishment it will be after it is completed."

Ling Fengjin looked sideways at Zhu Zeqing, "Looking at your reaction, there is a way."

Zhu Zeqing's expression was a bit unpredictable, "I haven't thought of it yet, but there is a way. People always think of it, and there will definitely be a way."

Ling Fengjin frowned slightly, "Actually, as long as the Feng family is willing to move, the rest won't be that difficult, but the Feng family will definitely not give in.

"It depends on the situation." Zhu Zeqing said, "Feng Jin, don't be so pessimistic. We have just arrived and many things are not clear yet. After more time, there will be room for maneuver .

" His expression softened, "Then I'll listen to your command."

"Okay." Zhu Zeqing responded with a smile.

...

Feng Chaoyang looked angry, "Dad, is this new county magistrate just a drunkard, or does he really want to re-measure the land?"

"What difference does it make?" Feng Zhang is worthy of being a member of the family, and has always maintained Jingping said, "Everyone knows that the county government is extremely poor now. How could he not make some money?"

Feng Chaoyang said dissatisfied, "Then didn't we give him money?"

"How can we give him enough?" Feng Chaoyang said dissatisfiedly. Zhang, "In September, the county has to pay field taxes and other taxes. It's a big sum. If you can't pay it, you will be punished." Feng Chaoyang asked, "Dad, what should we do next?" Feng Chaoyang

asked.

Zhang clenched the tea cup and said in a deep voice, "All the big households and squires in the city must not agree to the new county magistrate's re-measurement of the fields."

Feng Chaoyang nodded coldly, "Yes, the new county magistrate's behavior is simply unreasonable. For everyone’s benefit, no one will agree.”

The next day, Feng Zhang sent invitations to all the families, and after discussion, they unanimously decided to unite to oppose.

...

Each village received a notice from the county government, asking the village chiefs to come tomorrow morning to learn how to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.
