I don't know when it started, but an exciting voice suddenly appeared in Xingyang.

Although the atmosphere of war preparation in the city is still grim, the number of pedestrians on the streets has gradually increased.

A neat and majestic patrol passed through the middle of the city, looking around, but quickly shifting its gaze.

"Why do I think those soldiers are a little different today?" Someone suddenly whispered.

The soldiers on patrol are more formal, and the soldiers on rest seem to be more cautious than ever?

"I think so......" the other nodded in agreement.

"Big news! Absolutely reliable big news! A young man with a rather good figure said to everyone with a lowly attitude.

"Yo, isn't this our jack of all trades, what's wrong? Where did you dig out the good stuff again? ”

Know-it-all laughed, a group of stinky shameless people, after Lao Tzu said it later, if he jumped up unhappily, Lao Tzu wouldn't take the grain!

It is the so-called taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others!

Never mind......

Even if he doesn't give food, he doesn't dare to mess around, who is the family? Can you afford to mess with yourself?

"The latest news, yesterday my uncle's neighbor's aunt's mother's daughter-in-law's brother-in-law came back, I don't know if I don't know, I was shocked when I asked, starting yesterday, the whole army ordered, non-war, those accused of disturbing the people during the patrol will be fined rations for half a year, and the offender will be added one degree for the same crime. It is said that if ordinary people report their crimes, those who are verified can get their one-year ration rewards, or if someone in the family is in the army, they will be directly credited with the credit. ”

"What?"

"Nonsense, make it up, you'll do it!"

"Huh!"

"......" the know-it-all looked at everyone's expressions of disbelief with a bewildered expression.

What I said is true, except for my uncle's neighbor's aunt's mother's daughter's mother-in-law's brother-in-law's brother-in-law, all the other news is true.

This is special, but the government found us privately and asked us to let out the news outside as required!

Looking at everyone's expressions of disbelief, Know-it-all felt that this was simply an insult to himself.

If it had been before, he would have turned around and left.

But now......

For the sake of the more sensible face of this government, let's not give them so much care, after all, what about ten stones of grain, you can't take it for nothing, right?

"Believe it or not, anyway, the military order has come down, and it is estimated that it will spread soon, and he also said that the government plans to reduce taxes and abolish the harsh government, but I don't know how to reduce it, it seems that they are still discussing." Know-it-all continued to work hard.

"Cut the tax by half, abolish the joint sitting, don't levy forced labor at every turn, and I'll be satisfied!"

"That's it, let's stop for two years, and the land at home is barren for more than half of the world!"

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"What? You don't believe it? I have a brother who works in the government, and he told me ......"

Many people don't believe the know-it-all, but in the blink of an eye, they spread the news all over the city.

Of course, the sources of know-it-all are too long for them to remember, and it doesn't really matter if they make up one themselves.

The idea of the people is actually very simple, just leave them a way to live.

In this era when the whole people have not yet enlightened themselves, it is really not easy for the ruling class to play with the pump.

……

Xingyang County Government.

"Well, well done!" Chen Ping nodded with satisfaction.

At present, he has received feedback from the following, Chen Ping has found four local people to do this, they are not only responsible for spreading the news, but also responsible for collecting feedback.

So far, on the whole, I am quite satisfied and surprised.

The news that the four people got back was about the same, the tax was halved, the joint sitting was abolished, and the levy was not indiscriminately levied.

There is also hope to return to the twelve taxes and one, which should be the choice of the most people, but this time the feedback is the least, which surprises Chen Ping.

"Go get the food, this thing is going to rot in the stomach!" Chen Ping admonished the four of them.

"Okay, okay! I'm going to take him to the coffin! Know-it-all hurriedly said.

He probably felt that Chen Ping might want to create public opinion pressure through this method, thus affecting Wang Buxing's choice.

Therefore, Chen Ping didn't dare to let Wang Bu know about it, so they had to keep their mouths shut.

Perfect, solved the case!

Looking at the figures of the four leaving, Chen Ping fell into deep thought.

"The policies we have formulated have far exceeded the expectations of the people, and it stands to reason that if we announce it directly, it should get a good response, why does Gongzi have to do more?"

Chen Ping suddenly thought of the voices of the people, and his heart was suddenly stunned.

"Oops, isn't Childe planning to probe the bottom first, and then increase some more taxes?"

The more Chen Ping thought about it, the more he felt that there was this possibility, now that their family has a big business, they don't want to find a way to make some income, and they can't support it in the long run.

The two warehouses have nearly 6 million stone of grain, more than 100,000 people, according to the consumption of 3 stone per person per month, it is only more than 300,000 stone a month, and only 3.6 million stone a year.

And there will definitely be more troops in the future, and it may not be able to hold out for a year and a half.

Wang is not hungry: ???

If you can't eat it until you die?

Why do you let you eat my food in a year and a half?

"No, I have to go to Childe and talk about this problem in person!" Chen Ping was a little anxious.

There is no problem with increasing it appropriately, he is afraid that the king will not be hungry and will be affected by the grain, so he directly agrees to halve.

Although the people are talking about halving, this is all said in private, if it is only halved, I am afraid that many people will complain in their hearts.

Xingyang is very rich, how rich is it?

Except for the city, as well as the villages and roads, all the rest of the city is cultivated land.

Near the Yellow River, there are some other river branches, there is no shortage of water here, almost the entire Central Plains is the case, otherwise, how can it be called a granary?

In Chen Ping's planning, this place must be well managed, if it is a dim sum, just Xingyang, I am afraid that it will be able to help them feed an army of 50,000 people in a year.

And Chen Ping didn't realize it at all, he only guessed a layer of intention, but he didn't see the deeper intention behind it.

The king from the later generations is not hungry, what means have you not seen?

It's such a simple thing as a fart, and people can operate it and give you all the bells and whistles, where is this?

We're just learning from others......
