Chapter 1877: Conquering People with Virtue (First update to ask for guaranteed monthly ticket)
When the flower scorpion learned of the villagers' attitude, he was too lazy to say anything more to them.
Since they don’t even want the relocation fees, we can only notify the Yan family to handle it.
It happened that Yan Sicong came to deliver some documents. After learning about this, he said that you can handle it yourselves.
Even the land already belongs to you, you can do whatever you want with it.
Hua Xiezi said, what we bought is clean land, shouldn’t these historical problems be solved by your Yan family?
Yan Sicong's statement actually had his own thoughts: he wanted to use this incident to see what kind of behavior style these people have.
So he could only say that we were completely unaware of the existence of these people, and that it was due to the connivance of others.
Under the rule of the Yan family, there will be absolutely no problem with public security. It is inevitable that there will be omissions in the population, but it will be good as long as no serious incidents occur.
If something really bad happened, the Yan family could easily trace the culprit.
These villagers have never been noticed by the Yan family, which shows that there is no big problem in essence.
If you insist that we deal with it, it's not impossible, but the Yan family has a lot of things to do right now and we can't spare the time to resolve it.
It’s not a big deal anyway. The family will free up their hands as soon as possible in the short term to help you solve it.
This is a nice statement, but it does not specify how long "in the short term" means.
After hearing this, Qu Jianlei shook his head and said, "You are just here to watch the fun."
There are many people in the team who are over a hundred years old. Who can't see this little trick?
Jia Shuiqing's attitude was quite calm. "It's not surprising that some people subconsciously resist when they first arrive."
Duo Gan said bluntly, "We can't push the Yan family anymore. If we push them a few more times, we will naturally be at a disadvantage."
People are generally noble when they don't ask others for help. Of course, the auras of asking others and being asked by others are different.
"Then let's deal with it forcefully," the paranoid man said lightly, "They agree anyway, so we are right in this matter."
"Use your brain," Mu Yu rolled her eyes at him, "Who doesn't know how to shout and kill? The boss wants constructive suggestions."
"Huh?" The paranoid man glanced at her sideways and thought, how do you talk to your senior like that?
"How about this," Qu Jianlei said after thinking for a while, "First, convince them with virtue and let them move to the most marginal places."
His attitude is that there must be no one in the central area.
Aren't those people worried about having nowhere to go? We have bought 100 square kilometers of land, so a few hundred more people won't matter.
But relocation is necessary. Let them move to a place in the corners first, and then we will take it one step at a time.
Qu Jianlei is willing to show some sympathy to the weak. Ignorance and weakness are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is.
But anything can be excessive or insufficient.
So next, all four villages received notices, and the current land owners were required to move out within five to ten days!
The first five days are the preparation period, and each family that moves out on the sixth day will receive five spirit stones.
On the seventh day, four spirit stones were moved away; on the eighth day, three spirit stones were moved away; on the ninth day, two spirit stones were moved away; and on the tenth day, one spirit stone was moved away.
Prior to this, the team had learned about the prices in this world.
For the lowest-level practitioners, it would be difficult to earn two spirit stones in a month unless they take on dangerous missions.
This is for cultivators. For ordinary people, if they can earn two spirit stones a year, they will wake up laughing in their dreams.
In most cases, ordinary people can only earn worldly money, and if they are lucky enough to earn a few spirit stones, they can keep them as heirlooms.
The moving fee given by the team is calculated per person.
For these almost impoverished tenants, the conditions were quite generous.
If you don't move out within ten days, I'm sorry, the land owner will test the illusion array where the village is.
The duration of the magic array test... must be at least three years to ensure the durability of the array.
Farmers who really have nowhere to go can temporarily live on the following lands:
Flower Scorpion pointed out the approximate location. The team only occupied a total of one hundred square kilometers, and the farthest they would move was no more than ten kilometers.
Even though there are some mountain roads, it would take two or three days for families with elderly, weak, women and children to move everything.
But at the same time, she did not forget to emphasize - remember, you are only staying there temporarily!
Flower Scorpion made the message clear, and the next day, there were figures investigating around every village.
The villagers came forward to ask the reason, and the other party told them that they were surveying the place to set up the magic array.
Some villagers were a little resentful, feeling that their own property was being forcibly taken away.
But before they could react, the other party would release a strong pressure, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way!"
Although these villagers are ordinary people and their living environment is very closed, they are in the world of immortal cultivation, so who doesn’t know how powerful immortal cultivators are?
Moreover, a Qi-refining cultivator also confirmed that the person sent out by the other side was a Foundation-building cultivator.
Some people felt the master's power and planned to move away on their own initiative so that they could put the spirit stones in their pockets safely.
To be fair, this condition is really good.
But some people were unwilling to give in and secretly mobilized other villagers - we won't move away, let's see what these outsiders do!
Although the four villages are isolated, there are many people among the more than 500 people who make a living outside, and there are always well-informed ones among them.
They knew that the new owners were outsiders and had just arrived, so they should not be too aggressive, otherwise it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold here.
At the very least, the relocation fees will have to be increased. Judging from the notice, the other party is not short of money, right?
Among the two Qi-refining practitioners, one named Feng Yingyu was particularly resistant to the relocation.
But precisely because he had practiced Qi Refining, he had a very deep understanding of how terrifying those who had established their foundation could be.
Although he didn't want to move, he had to. What he cared about more was: five spirit stones, are you giving away to a beggar?
There are twenty-eight people in the entire Feng family. What can they do with just one hundred and forty spirit stones?
Feng Yingyu is at the middle level of Qi Refining. If he works hard in the Xiuxian Market, he can get about three to five spirit stones every month.
If he earns 40 spirit stones a year, he can earn back this money in four or five years.
The key point is that most of the spirit stones Feng Yingyu earned in the first half of his life were invested in land, houses and cultivation equipment.
The family members have also invested huge amounts of manpower to build their home, which cannot be measured by spirit stones.
I felt a little unwilling to let him move away like this - don't these people need low-level cultivators to guard them?
In the evening, Feng Yingyu's eldest son Feng Juncai came over. He was a middle-aged man.
"Dad, I asked the guards about the house, and they told me to move as soon as possible. I hope the Qi Refining Family can set an example!"
"Tsk," Feng Yingyu frowned and sighed, "This matter...didn't they say that it's not easy to build our family?"
"That momentum..." Feng Juncai admitted that he was indeed frightened by the pressure of the foundation-building technique.
But then, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, "But, Dad, our family's century-long plan..."
The Feng family has plans for future development, and they have also set their sights on that second-level spiritual vein.
However, the Yan family guards the spiritual vein very closely. Although they don’t have the courage to occupy it, it is not something that others can covet.
At the very least, a Qi Refining family is far from qualified. It must be a Foundation Building family, and having only one Foundation Building family may not be enough.
However, Feng Yingyu had his own ideas. He was old and had no hope of building a foundation in his lifetime, but what if the younger generation had a promising future?
So over the years, the Feng family has been preparing to quietly occupy the spiritual veins.
This is a top secret among the top secrets, and few of the young men in the Feng family know about it.
Some of the Feng family's children even chose to work outside, and it seemed that they were not interested in the old house.
"It's difficult," Feng Yingyu frowned and sighed, "The Yan family didn't force them too much."
"Dad, how about we go find Yinjiabao?" Feng Juncai said in a low voice, "Will they be willing to accept this?"
As mentioned earlier, the four villages paid taxes to two forces respectively, which was equivalent to tenants of the Yan family's tenants.
Yinjiabao is one of those forces. It has four people who have reached the foundation-building stage and has considerable influence in the surrounding areas.
The village where the Feng family lives pays taxes to Yinjiabao, and the 30% to 70% tax is no less.
However, because of Feng Yingyu's presence, Yinjiabao was relatively polite to the Feng family and turned a blind eye to the Feng family's other income.
Feng Yingyu looked at her son calmly, and after a long while she sighed, "You are only in the Qi-cultivation stage..."
"Do you think you can stir up grievances among the foundation-building forces?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Feng Juncai's eyes. "But, Dad, I am unwilling to accept this. Xier's qualifications..."
Xi'er is his youngest son, whose talent is as good as Feng Yingyu's, and even slightly better.
If the resources for cultivation can keep up, reaching the high level of Qi Refining is not a dream. With a bit of luck, even Foundation Building is something that you can think about.
Feng Yingyu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "You chose your own path. Forget it, Dad is old."
He was not unaware of the danger, but since his eldest son insisted on doing so, he could only accept it.
As the head of the family, you can't hinder the development of the family, right?
After all, he was still somewhat unwilling, so he just accepted the gamble.
However, the father and son were unaware that their conversation, which they thought was private, was being watched by seven or eight spiritual consciousnesses.
"This is fucking..." The fourth boss shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You're taking someone else's things, and you think you have a reason for taking them?"
Youyou has a little more empathy. "They are also seeking development. It can only be said that they are blinded by greed, but it cannot be said that they are evil."
Yuanyuan sneered, "Yinjiabao... I'm looking forward to their performance."
This place was an ownerless land before, so it was barely understandable for Yinjiabao to come here to collect taxes - the Yan family would not pursue it anyway.
Now that there is an owner here, if the other party still dares to continue to make a move, then they will have to calculate the historical income.
Youyou didn't mean to object, she just said, "Then the guy who went out to contact..."
"Let him go," the Fourth Master and Yuanyuan said in unison.
The fourth boss thought, "It doesn't matter what he thinks. We are new here, so if we want to arrest someone, we should arrest the criminal who has already committed the crime, so as not to give him any excuse."
Yuanyuan's ideas, however, have a bit of a gangster flavor.
"Even if you want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, you have to pick a bigger one. The boss once said that one punch is better than a hundred!"
