So, yesterday, he gathered together the prominent and wealthy households in the city and held a banquet.

During this period, I wanted to ask them to donate their land deeds today out of a sense of joint defense of Jinan City!

Of course, this donation is not in vain! He will report it to His Majesty, give these people some compensation, and will give priority to the ancestral land back to each family, but this time, only the right to use the land will be distributed.

This means that these lands have completely changed their surnames!

This is the biggest concession Ma Zhou can make, and it is also the most sincere deal he feels!

A dignified governor of a province went so far as to hand over a few pieces of land. No matter how you look at it, he is giving these people face!

If these people don't hurry up and deliver the land deed, are they going to have to toast it instead of having to drink it as a fine?

But what Ma Zhou never expected was:

Those who came to the banquet agreed on their faces and said it well! But today, let alone those who came to present the land deeds, not one of them even went out to the streets!

The huge city of Jinan has become like a ghost town since this morning. Not even a single person can be found on the empty streets.

"Master, you haven't had your meal this morning, why don't you go down and have something to eat first?"

Seeing that Ma Zhou's face was ashen and his thin body was trembling slightly, the old servant who had been with Ma Zhou for many years sighed and couldn't help but speak again to persuade him.

"Don't eat!" Ma Zhou gritted his teeth and didn't look sideways. He just said a few words coldly: "I want to see what tricks these people are trying to play!"

"Sir...what are you doing again..." Seeing this, the old servant knew that with Ma Zhou's temper, it would be useless to persuade him, so he could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

As the so-called bystander knows, this old servant saw yesterday that those who came to the banquet were just perfunctory.

They are all a bunch of old foxes who have become spirits. You want to exchange a few words and a glass of wine to release the land contract? Isn't this just whimsical?

It is estimated that in this world, only I, the master, can believe that others are like him, with admirable moral character, noble sentiments, and the consciousness of dedicating everything to the Tang Dynasty!

As everyone knows, in this world, although there are noble and honest people who take the country as their own responsibility, most people are still ordinary people who care about everything!

Make them patriotic? Yes, no problem!

Ask them to donate some money and food? Although it feels a little distressing, it’s not a big problem!

But if you ask them to sacrifice a large part of their own interests to support the Tang Dynasty? If they don't immediately spit on your face, you are running fast!

The only way you can deal with these people is to use emotion, understand them with reason, and lure them with benefits!

Especially the third one is the most important!

"Da da da……"

Just when the atmosphere in the Yamen was so low that it was almost stagnant, finally, a crisp sound of horse hooves broke the silence as if before a storm.

"Huh? Xiao Han, hasn't Jinan City never suffered a disaster? Why is there no one in broad daylight?"

Along the road paved with bluestones, a long procession was walking slowly on the streets of Jinan, and the leader of the procession was a shirtless man with a shiny head!

At this time, he was riding a big green horse, looking around curiously, muttering something from time to time.
Chapter completed!
