Chapter 72
"My lord is so kind, it is really a blessing for all people!"
"Tong is willing to follow the princess and seek peace for the people!"
Pang Tong was also deeply shocked by Jiang Chen's words.
With such an important strategic resource, Jiang Chen will give it away as soon as he says it will.
If it were any other person, I'm afraid it would not be so merciful.
This is the guarantee that the people can rely on.
Only with the people's support can we have a steady stream of soldiers.
"What the people want!!"
The common people in Hanzhong looked at Jiang Chen with admiration.
It feels like they have changed a Bodhisattva to be their lord.
With Jiang Chen, they will no longer suffer from famine.
"Hail my lord!"
All the people were moved to tears.
Looking at the dug-out potatoes, all the people cried.
Even in peaceful times, it is difficult for them to have enough food.
They are all farming for the landlord's family. Now, I didn't expect them to have enough to eat.
In Hanzhong, Jiang Chen used powerful means to wipe out all the landlords.
All the land was given to the people, and only [-]% of the tax was required to be paid.
This means that in the future, they will be able to get [-]% of their own, not only to eat and have a surplus.
It can also be used to exchange money for new clothes.
Life will not only be limited to food and clothing.
"Okay, get up, you don't need to kneel!"
"As a human being, there is no distinction between high and low!"
"It's just the duties of each department. Everyone should respect and trust each other"
"In the future, the whole world will become one family!"
Jiang Chen's words moved all the common people.
In that era, the common people were the existence at the bottom of the society, and no one had ever really respected them.
But Jiang Chen did it!
Looking at this scene, the officials who surrendered in Yizhou were also extremely moved.
They feel that, perhaps, this is the best arrangement God has given them.
Afterwards, he became more determined to follow Jiang Chen to conquer the world.
"Everyone is full and continue to work!"
"Officials are responsible for weighing, and only collect [-]% of the tax!"
"The rest are all yours!"
"If there is any surplus, you can sell it to the official granary, and I will pay you according to the price!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"My lord, is [-]% too little?"
Pang Tong next to him asked worriedly.
After all, the world is in chaos now. If there is a war, there must be countless food and grass.
How can we fight without food?
"My lord, please charge more, we can accept [-]%!"
"That's right, my lord, with such a high yield, we can't finish it!"
"Yes, if there is no lord, we won't be able to get this food!"
"My lord, please charge more!"
The common people begged Jiang Chen to charge more.
This made the officials look dull. You must know that in the past, they wanted to collect a little tax from the people.
The people are hiding it, even forcing them to die, and are unwilling to give it.
Now, he is actually willing to take the initiative to ask for food,
This is simply a legend in the world.
"Okay, folks, don't be impatient!"
"Twenty percent, it's already a lot, my decision will not change!"
"The purpose of my willingness to stand up and conquer the world is not for the extravagance of my personal life!"
"Otherwise, I can go into business!"
"I want to let the people of the world live a good life!"
"Now is a difficult time. In the future, your food tax will gradually be reduced to zero!"
"In the future, my expectation is that I can subsidize the people who grow food, instead of asking you to pay taxes!"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the people froze for a moment.
This is just like a strange talk in the world. If there are people who don't need to pay for the land, why give them money?
Simply unheard of.
Even those officials felt that Jiang Chen might be a little drifting.
"My lord, don't make promises lightly. If you make a mistake, it may have an adverse effect on your reputation!"
Pang Tong next to him carefully reminded Jiang Chen.
"Don't worry, I can definitely do it!"
"Because I am standing on the shoulders of giants, as long as I have your support, there is nothing I cannot do!"
Jiang Chen put his hands behind his back, confident and calm.
"Tong is willing to do his best to fulfill the wish of the lord!"
Pang Tong was so excited that he wanted to kneel down again.
"I would like to serve my lord like a dog and a horse!"
"Long live the lord!"
All the officials bowed to the ground, and they were deeply impressed by Jiang Chen's charisma.
The people were all willing to kneel down and worship without any reluctance.
At this moment, the people and the officials are already united and twisted into one rope.
"Get up!"
"Officials are responsible for weighing the people. Soldiers, help the people carry food together!"
"These grains need to be stored in cellars."
"I'm going back to draw the blueprints now, and Pang Tong will follow me back, and I'll be in charge of it then!"
"I'll leave this to you, General Zhang!"
Jiang Chen looked at Zhang He who was on the side.
"Don't worry, master, you will be able to complete the task assigned by master in the end!"
"I will never overcharge the common people for a single grain!"
Zhang He nodded, with tears in his tiger eyes.
Both were born in poverty, and he deeply understands what food means to the common people.
I also know that the lord's decision has made all the people return to their hearts.
In the future, even if Hanzhong City is captured, the people will not surrender willingly.
Because there is no second such kind lord in the world.
"Well, let's go! Shiyuan!"
"Congratulations to the lord!!"
The people once again kowtowed to see them off, no matter how Jiang Chen tried to stop them, it would be of no avail.
It seems that it will take a long time to change the fact that the common people do not kneel.
This system, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has left an imprint on their bodies.
"Shiyuan, the choice of underground kiln must be in the back of the sun, avoiding direct sunlight."
"The basic conditions are to be cool, humid, and protected from light."
"So, you must pay attention when you take the people to choose the cellar!"
"This is a major event for the people, don't neglect it!"
When he returned to the city, Jiang Chen immediately started designing the blueprint of the underground kiln.
It's actually very simple, but you just have to dig a little deeper.
Then there must be a ladder to go down. If it is simpler, a wooden ladder will do.
According to their different needs, dig different cellars.
"My lord, don't worry!"
"Unification will definitely not neglect!"
"It will definitely allow the people to store food safely!"
Because of Jiang Chen's kindness, Pang Tong was deeply impressed by his charisma.
There was no longer any rejection of Jiang Chen in his heart.
Even the most benevolent Uncle Liu Huang in the legend is not half as good as Jiang Chen.
Uncle Liu Huang's kindness to the people is limited to his words,
But Jiang Chen's kindness to the common people has been put into action all the time.
Divide land, reduce taxes, reduce taxes
Everything is an unprecedented move that other princes cannot do.
But Jiang Chen was doing it silently.
Such a good lord, what reason does he have for not taking refuge?
He felt that this time, he was one step ahead of Zhuge Liang.
