Chapter 2129: Loving the People Like Sons
Li Shen was a little angry that half of the tribe sold their cotton to the aristocratic families.
I have taken care of them for so many years. Although they have suffered a lot in recent years because of Wang Wencheng, the truth came to light last year.
It is obvious that these people do not trust themselves, which is why they sell cotton to others.
But Li Shen suddenly thought about it again and was no longer angry. He also gave some advice to the leaders of the tribes.
"Re-sign the contract? But... Your Highness Prince Ji, what if they don't agree to re-sign it?
How can we afford to offend these aristocratic families and princes?
What if I anger them and they blame me? "
Upon hearing the advice given to them by King Ji, one of the leaders immediately asked worriedly.
No matter whether it is the aristocratic family or the gentry, or the King of Jin, none of them can compare to them.
With a "pop", Li Shen threw away the folding fan in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
"I am here, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, I will take care of you.
Tell them that if the contract is not revised, you will sell the cotton to the king.
The price I offer is much higher than theirs, and it is enough to pay off their penalty."
Li Shen felt amused. These people from aristocratic families had done too many things to take advantage of others, so they would definitely not give too much as a deposit.
They thought that because of the contract, the people would not dare to breach the contract, otherwise they would put pressure on the court to deal with the survivors.
But with me here, no government office dares to interfere. Sometimes a bad reputation is more effective than a good name.
"this......"
Li Shen's words made these people hesitate. Prince Ji's idea was good, but the chief steward felt that he was using them.
It's a bit like a fight between gods, and they are stuck in the middle, unable to afford to offend either side.
"What? You don't believe me? Or are you willing to be deceived?
If this is really the case, then just pretend that I didn’t say anything.
I have already said that I will not force you to buy or sell anything."
Seeing this, Li Shen's face turned serious.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, calm down. We are just wondering if the noble families don't agree and they use this as an excuse to get the court to take action. We are afraid..."
"Humph, His Highness Prince Ji is thinking about you wholeheartedly, yet you are still here worrying about gains and losses. I don't think you are afraid of being at a disadvantage.
In this case, if you are cheated and have no harvest this year, don't ask us for help, and don't blame us for not helping you.
By then, we will be the only ones who can help you take in your people."
Qu Zhiping snorted coldly and spoke to the dozen or so tribal leaders in a bad tone with a somewhat gloomy expression.
"this......"
As soon as these words came out, the tribal leaders were a little panicked. As leaders, they were used to being domineering and arrogant. If the people were gone,
They will lose their status as leaders, so how can they still live the life they have now?
This is true for all tribes. If a disaster strikes, a large number of tribesmen will flee, and even the leader cannot stop it with force.
You can't let these people starve to death, can you?
"Why are you still hesitating? You are doing this for the people of the tribe, not for yourselves.
Could it be that you accepted benefits from others?
If this is true, Governor Qu must investigate thoroughly. For his own selfish reasons, he took advantage of others and harmed the interests of the people in his clan.
This will lead to punishment from the clan."
Qu Baochang turned around and looked around. He was still counting on Prince Ji to rescue his daughter.
"No, we definitely did not accept benefits from others, Governor Qu, we are also doing this for the sake of the people in our clan, fearing retaliation."
When they heard Qu Baochang's words, these people suddenly became a little panicked. Persecuting the interests of the tribe is a serious crime in the tribe.
They will receive severe punishment and be despised by their tribe members.
"In that case, do as His Royal Highness Prince Ji says. Tomorrow you will go to their base. Remember, this is also for the sake of your own tribe."
In the end, Qu Zhiping made the decision for them. This was also to establish a good relationship with Prince Ji's Mansion.
Others didn't know, but as a prefect, he naturally had the foresight. After Prince Ji's Mansion launched cotton, others followed suit and planted cotton.
Looking at the various workshops built by Prince Ji’s Mansion in Xizhou, this is enough to prove that only Prince Ji’s Mansion can make cotton more valuable.
In this way, Prince Ji's Mansion will offer a higher price and the cooperation will last longer.
Also, he knew that these people from the aristocratic families had a grudge against Prince Ji. Yesterday, His Royal Highness Prince Ji said that Wang Wencheng was instructed by these people to frame him.
If this is the case, how could Prince Ji let these noble families go? This group of people will definitely be implicated if they cooperate with the noble families.
These people are short-sighted. They don't want to think clearly before making a decision. Compared with the people from the noble families, they are more familiar with Prince Ji.
There is also a conflict of interest between them and King Ji, and King Ji will not easily defraud them.
"Yes, I will follow the instructions of Governor Qu."
These leaders immediately saluted. They were forced to do so, and of course they had also considered the possibility that King Ji mentioned.
If they were really deceived, they would not be able to be leaders.
"Well, you are indeed righteous and wholeheartedly considerate of the tribe. This makes me admire you."
Li Shen immediately praised happily.
“Your Highness Prince Ji, thank you for your praise. We were foolish and almost got deceived. Fortunately, Your Highness Prince Ji showed us the way out and saved our people from suffering.
Please accept our greetings. I hope His Royal Highness Prince Ji will not blame us. We are doing this for the sake of our tribe."
This group of people bowed and spoke nice things to Li Shen, for they were afraid that King Ji would blame them.
"Hahaha, what are you talking about? I have said that I will never force you to trade. You are already my people of the Great Tang.
I love my people like my own children, how could I blame you? I am only giving you a little reminder for the sake of your people."
Li Shen burst into laughter, looking nonchalant.
That’s right, he loves his people like his own children, just like his father loves him.
When everyone saw this, they all felt relieved, as the words of a prince of the Tang Dynasty were naturally binding.
"Come here, it's been so long, why haven't you served tea to the leaders yet? This is really rude."
The atmosphere was harmonious. Li Shen turned around and shouted angrily at the stone beside him.
"Yes, I'll have someone prepare it right away." Shi Tou nodded quickly and walked out.
When they heard that King Ji was going to serve them tea, they knew that King Ji was no longer angry.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I know you are coming here, so I have prepared some small gifts. Please accept them."
A leader stood up and took out a gift list.
"Haha, you are too polite, Chief. How can you spend so much money?"
Li Shen laughed and waved his hand, and the guard beside him came forward to take the gift list.
(Working during the day and writing at night is not a good idea.
To be honest, I urinated blood today, and my urine was reddish. I advise everyone not to follow my example and take care of your health.
