Du Qi waited quietly. After a long while, the crowd stopped talking and quieted down.
Pairs of eyes fell on Du Qi again.
Everyone's eyes were full of expectation.
They all hoped that Du Qi would withdraw his order and no longer consider abolishing slaves. After all, Du Qi's strength was strong. Unless it was a last resort, no one was really willing to be enemies with Du Qi.
Once it really involved their own interests, they certainly couldn't sit idly by. After all, when it involved their own interests, they had to fight for it.
If they didn't fight for it, the loss would be too great.
Du Qi smiled and said: "Everyone, in fact, abolishing slaves is not something that I have to do. It's not that I insist on implementing it. It's just that I have no other choice! "
Hearing this, everyone's hearts became lively.
The opportunity had come!
The opportunity to abolish slaves had come.
Luo Song didn't even think and said: "Your Highness, what's going on? What happened that forced Your Highness to abolish slaves? "
Following Luo Song's words, the crowd echoed again. More than twenty people, one by one, expressed that if Du Qi had any difficulties, they were willing to help Du Qi, as long as Du Qi didn't abolish slaves.
As long as Du Qi didn't abolish slaves, everything was negotiable.
When everyone talked, their expressions gradually became relaxed. After all, as long as Du Qi didn't abolish slaves, their interests wouldn't be affected.
After talking for a while, these people stopped talking and looked at Du Qi again.
They waited for Du Qi's explanation.
Du Qi opened his mouth and said, "Everyone should know that yesterday, not far from the Ping Xi Wang Mansion, there was a matter of taking the imperial examinations. I gave thousands of people and scholars in Yizhou a chance to work for the mansion. "
Luo Song said: "Indeed, we know. This event had great momentum. Only Your Highness can be so benevolent and give countless people a chance to change their fate. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "Yesterday, when we were recruiting talents, we involved a person called Kun Da. He was a slave and was very good at growing crops."
Just as Du Qi was about to speak, a patriarch from a large family spoke up, "Your Highness mentioned Kun Da, this one has heard of him. This person was a slave of the Bard family, and as long as the crops were planted by him, the harvest would increase by at least 30%. This matter is not a secret in the county. Many people know about it. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's him. Yesterday, Kun had arrived at the scene and volunteered to participate. At that time, this prince agreed to let him work in the prince's mansion. "
"Because there is so much land in Yi Prefecture. With Kunda's guidance, tens of thousands of people will plant food, and the yield will definitely increase. Similarly, if everyone here obtains Kun Da's technology, you will also be able to harvest more food. "
"To this prince, it's not limited to one household or one person to increase their income. What this prince needs is for the large families and all the people to be able to plant food and have a harvest. That is the best outcome for Yi Prefecture. "
"So this prince arranged for someone to go to the Bard family, hoping to redeem Kun Da."
"Just pay Bard how much you should pay."
Du Qi had a helpless look on his face as he said regretfully, "However, Ba De directly rejected this King's good intentions. The first time, Bard rejected this prince's people. The second time, this prince arranged for the prince's mansion's chief, Liu Zhengxi, to represent this prince. This was considered sincere. "
"However, Bard refused again."
"The third time, this prince personally arranged for someone to invite Bard to come to the prince's mansion for a discussion and to talk about Kun Da in detail. However, Bard refused using illness as a reason."
"This morning, this prince invited Bard again, but Bard refused again and did not come. Tell me, isn't Bard too much of a bully? Isn't he looking down on this prince too much? "
"Since Bard insists on keeping Kun Da, then this prince doesn't believe that this prince can't deal with Bard."
"This prince will give an order to abolish the slave's slave status. If Bard dares to disobey this order, this prince will bring troops to flatten the Bard family. I don't believe that Bard can stop this prince's army. "
When he said this, Du Qi was full of murderous intent.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood.
So that's how it is.
At this moment, everyone began to resent Bard in their hearts. It's just Kun Da. Why does he have to anger Du Qi? What's more, Kun Da is very skilled. Once Kun Da enters the prince's mansion and passes down his skills, all the large families will benefit.
At this moment, everyone had an idea, and that was to support Du Qi.
Luo Song took the lead and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to trouble Your Highness to deal with Kun Da's matter. If Your Highness deals with this matter, it will lower Your Highness's status. Isn't it just Kun Da? All of us will deal with this matter for Your Highness. I guarantee that Kun Da will be sent to the prince's mansion in one piece. But Your Highness, if we send Kun Da here, can the abolition of slavery be canceled? "
The rest of the people looked at Du Qi one after another.
They all expressed their willingness to assist Luo Song and promised to complete the task and send Kun Da here.
Du Qi leaned forward slightly and said, "Everyone, if Kun Da can come to the prince's mansion in one piece, remember this. If he comes back in one piece, then this prince will no longer mention the abolition of slavery. After all, this prince is too lazy to deal with such a taxing matter. "
Phew!!
Luo Song immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The rest of the people also breathed a sigh of relief.
But in their hearts, they were all deeply moved. Du Qi's methods were really not simple. On the surface, he said it was for the slaves, but in reality, it was for Kun Da. With such an arrangement, Du Qi didn't need to deal with Bard personally. They could deal with Bard on their own.
His methods were too brilliant!
When everyone looked at Du Qi, they saw that although Du Qi was young, they no longer looked down on Du Qi in their hearts. Instead, they were in awe of him.
Luo Song immediately got up and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I promise to complete the task. We will immediately go to Bard's house and resolve this matter for Your Highness. "
"Your Highness, please rest assured. We will go right away."
"Your Highness, please don't worry. Kun Da will definitely enter the prince's mansion in one piece."
"Bard will definitely hand over the person Your Highness has taken a fancy to. If Bard doesn't cooperate, then we will also ask Your Highness to teach Bard a lesson. Your Highness doesn't need to step in. "
"Your Highness, please rest assured."
…
One by one, they kept speaking.
Everyone had a solemn look on their faces, because to them, letting Bard hand over Kun Da was not only beneficial to Du Qi, but also to them.
Kun Da's skills were not bad.
It was fine if Bard cooperated, but if Bard didn't, then they didn't mind joining forces to take him down.
Bard's family couldn't be enemies with everyone.
Du Qi said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
After Du Qi's words fell, Luo Song and the others bid farewell and left. Du Qi's lips curled into a smile as he watched the group leave. He was looking forward to Bard's performance.
Du Qi knew that if Bard refused, these people from the major families wouldn't mind tearing Bard to pieces and then dividing his benefits.
This was human nature.
It was also the general trend.
