Although Ning Xiaofan said that he couldn't bear the death of those people, he didn't say anything more after the matter came to this point, as he said before, what his brother did was what he meant, no matter whether his brother did it well or badly, he Ning Xiaofan was willing to bear it.

When the White Tiger Battalion of the Ning Family Army walked to the front of Xinyi City under the leadership of Ning Xiaofan, Li Hu and others, the city gate was immediately opened, and a group of people quickly came out inside.

When the brothers of the White Tiger Battalion saw the people coming out of it, they immediately prepared for battle.

Ning Xiaofan looked at the person who came out with a smile.

This person is not an outsider, it is Chen De of the Chen family.

After Chen De walked out, he immediately came to Ning Xiaofan's face, and first gave a respectful salute.

"General Ning, the little one has been waiting for a long time, please invite General Ning and the generals into the city. ”

Ning Xiaofan smiled and said to Chen De: "Brother Chen, let's go into the city together." ”

Then Ning Xiaofan and Chendao walked directly into the city, and the brothers of the White Tiger Camp followed closely behind.

Li Hu was surprised.

"It turns out that Mr. Ning also knows someone here. Li Hu said to Lu Wen beside him in surprise.

Lu Wen said: "Mr. Ning entered the city at night last night, what do you think he was doing?"

Li Hu said: "But looking at this surnamed Chen, it seems that Yu Ning has always been a friend for a long time." ”

"Haha, for this surnamed Chen, we Ning Zong is the master here, how dare a dog be disrespectful to his master?

When Li Hu heard Lu Wenzi's words, he immediately laughed.

Soon the crowd entered the city, and the city was in shambles.

Obviously, when Ning Xiaofan and the others were fighting, there were also some battles in the city, and these battles were naturally battles between the people who participated and some of the people left by Yuan Guo.

In fact, it is said that these people are from the Yuan Kingdom, and they are just surrendering to the Yuan Kingdom here.

"General Ning, these people were originally locals, but after the people from the Yuan Kingdom came, they immediately surrendered, followed the lackeys, what should these people do?"

There were four or five people kneeling in the street, these people had been beaten and their noses were swollen, and it was clear that they had been treated inhumanely.

Ning Xiaofan didn't look at these people, but said to Chen De: "County Magistrate Chen, you are now the county magistrate of this city, these things are naturally up to you, and we people are only in charge of the military in this city." ”

When Chen De heard Ning Xiaofan's words, he was immediately overjoyed.

This is obvious, Ning Xiaofan had already told Chen De last night to let Chen De be the county magistrate.

Although Chen De doesn't know much about the county magistrate, he knows very well that this is the chief executive of this city, and it can be said that in this city, except for the military aspect, he can't manage all other aspects.

In other words, he is Ning Xiaofan, a minister under the soil emperor.

Of course, in this chaotic room, the generals are more popular.

Chen De hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Ning Xiaofan: "Thank you General Ning for cultivation, your subordinates will be loyal to General Ning forever." ”

"Haha, get up. ”

Ning Xiaofan said: "Pick out some places and let the sergeants have a good rest." ”

"General Ying, don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible. ”

Ning Xiaofan said: "I believe in Brother Chen's ability, but there is one thing I still want to warn you, no matter when you are not to disturb the people, let alone to oppress the people, if you let me know that Brother Chen has done these things that I hate, then Brother Chen at that time, even if I don't want to punish you, I can't go against the will of the people." ”

Chen De was shocked when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words.

He really didn't expect that Ning Xiaofan would say such a thing at this time.

However, although the words Ning Xiaofan said were not very loud, the people around him had already heard them, and it was obvious that the words Ning Xiaofan said were naturally what the people were willing to hear.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this should be very clear to Xiaofan, if the people do not support you, then even if you sit in the position of emperor, you will be pulled down by them.

Therefore, what Ning Xiaofan has to do is to win the hearts of the people.

How can we win the hearts and minds of the people? In fact, this is also very simple, reduce the tax burden, let everyone have food, so that everyone can have clothes to wear, in fact, isn't this what the people want?

"Mr. Ning, shouldn't you immediately increase the tax burden?"

Ning Xiaofan looked at Chen De and said, "What are you doing with these levies? Could it be that County Magistrate Chen wants to embezzle now?"

Chen De immediately said: "Mr. Ning, you really misunderstood me, what I mean, the tax burden collected is for the brothers of the Ning family, after all, the brothers of the Ning family army also need grain and grass." ”

Ning Xiaofan said: "We are a regular army, not bandits, let alone robbers, I hope Brother Chen, you don't want to be bandits, let alone robbers." ”

"General Ning, the little one doesn't dare. ”

Ning Xiaofan said: "It seems that we should issue a notice, Brother Chen, where are we going now?"

"Go to the General's Mansion, where the former Yuan Army Commander was, and now General Ning should live there. ”

"Alright, let's go now. ”

Ning Xiaofan said and got on the horse.

Chen De also got on his horse and walked forward slowly.

But just as he was leaving, not far away, Ning Xiaofan suddenly stopped his horse, and he saw a lot of people standing on both sides of the road dressed in very tattered clothes.

He got off his horse and found an old man about sixty or seventy years old.

When the old man saw Ning Xiaofan walking in front of him, he hurriedly knelt down.

Ning Xiaofan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the old man up.

"General, we didn't break the law. ”

Ning Xiaofan looked at this old man with a panicked expression, he knew that people in this era were very scared when they saw officials.

"Don't be afraid, old gentleman, may I ask what the old gentleman usually makes a living. ”

"All kinds of land. ”

"How many acres of land do you have at home? ”

"4 acres of land. ”

"That's a lot, and it should be enough to eat this year. ”

When the old man heard Ning Xiaofan's words, he fluttered again and knelt on the ground.

"General, there is really no surplus food in the small family, and there is really no way to continue to pay taxes. ”

Ying Xiaofan listened to the old man's words, which was similar to what he guessed.

Obviously, although the old man has land, he may not even be able to afford to eat because of the heavy tax burden.

Ning Xiaofan said: "Sir, there will be no taxes this year. ”

When the old man heard Ning Xiaofan's words, his face was surprised and his face was full of doubts, it was obvious that he didn't know how Ning Xiaofan could say such a thing.

At this time, the people next to him also looked at Ning Xiaofan in surprise.

At this time, Lu Wen walked over.

He looked at the people in front of him and said, "Aren't you all happy that you have been exempted from paying taxes for one year? This is the first gift that General Ning has given us here." ”
