For Yang Chendong's safety, it has long become the most important thing in the entire Yang family. For this reason, not only Yu Qian and others talked to Yang Er, but also several ladies also talked to him about this matter, Yang Er felt a lot of pressure, and naturally there would be no slackness.

"Okay, okay, you're always justified. But always give me some space. Yang Chendong found that he couldn't say anything about Yang Er on this issue, so he retreated and said.

"Alright, let's stand back a bit." Yang Er saw that the young master had made a rare concession, and he accepted it when he saw it, and took the initiative to give up two meters of space to Yang Chendong. Although this is still not very easy to move, it is already the biggest concession he can make.

At this time, Yang Chendong happened to walk in front of Ding Dingwei and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and he naturally stretched out his hand to help each other, Ding Dingwei's trembling body was helped up, and when he saw that the person who helped him was the sixth young master, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and the tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"You've worked hard, you've worked hard. Everyone has worked hard, so how about we find a place to talk about it first? Yang Chendong took Ding Dingwei's hand, looked at the kneeling people, and said cordially.

Next, under the introduction of Ding Dingwei, they went to the place where the yamen in the city was located, in the courtyard of the yamen, the candles around were lit, and everyone sat around Yang Chendong, and had a chance to get in close contact with the sixth young master.

The sixth young master actually entered the city at such a dangerous time, and when the news spread throughout the city, the people became agitated, and they went straight to the yamen desperately, they all wanted to see what this young man who brought them a completely different life and happy hope looked like, and they wanted to see their benefactor and their savior up close.

Therefore, the people outside the yamen are more and more surrounded, less than half an hour, the number has passed 20,000, just relying on a thousand black dragon guards can no longer control the situation, Yang Er sent people to find Xiao Yining, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Army, and Yi Jie, the commander of the second regiment, arrived with two thousand soldiers of the second regiment, which can barely maintain law and order.

Yang Chendong, who was sitting in the courtyard, also felt the enthusiasm of the people, but he also saw the crisis. With so many people gathered here, it is easy to cause a mass incident, and once someone is squeezed in, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he immediately said to Ding Dingwei: "You go and talk to the people, they can send some representatives, and I will meet them." But this courtyard is so big, it is impossible to accommodate too many people, and most people should go to rest immediately. I will stay in Suon City for a while, and there will be many opportunities to meet with everyone. ”

"Yes, Sixth Young Master." Ding Dingwei said yes and turned to make arrangements. Yang Chendong took this opportunity to summon Xiao Yining, the commander of the Fifth Division, and asked him about the city defense.

"Sixth Young Master, the head of the first regiment, Dang Liming, has already ascended the city tower and taken over the city defense, with the cooperation of General Daen and three thousand Cambodian soldiers, there will be no problems. In the event of a war, the three or four regiments under the city can enter the battlefield at any time, so please rest assured. Xiao Yining said this with a confident face.

"Okay, let's work hard for the warriors next." Yang Chendong nodded, he knew very well that once the Siamese army knew that he was in Su Weng City

Words, I'm afraid that the attack will definitely be crazy, and a tough battle is inevitable.

"Please rest assured, Sixth Young Master, with our Fifth Army Division here, we will never let any enemy climb the city tower and enter the city." Xiao Yining made a stand-up, extremely confident.

"I believe in the fighters." Yang Chendong's eyes showed appreciation, the cold front warrior should have such awareness and self-confidence, no matter what difficulties he faces, he must first be confident. If you don't even have self-confidence, you're already half the loss.

Xiao Yining left to arrange the city defense, and Ding Dingwei soon came back, and this time there were more than 20 representatives of the people who came with him. Under their persuasion, the other people had already retreated, Yang Chendong smiled and invited everyone to sit down in the courtyard, and asked Yang Er and the others to boil hot tea and deliver the tea to everyone's hands.

Everyone got up and thanked them one by one and then sat down again, and at this moment Yang Chendong's voice also came out, "How is it?" It's been very hard to defend the city for a while, I really don't know how you, who only have a thousand soldiers, have persevered until now? ”

When talking about this problem, Ding Dingwei immediately put down the teacup in his hand, fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted loudly: "Sixth Young Master, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty." ”

"Hey, don't kneel, get up and talk." Yang Chendong gestured to Yang Er's eyes on the side, and Yang Er stepped forward to help Ding Dingwei, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

Ding Dingwei, who was helped up, still didn't dare to raise his head and said: "Sixth Young Master, it was the ministers who made their own initiatives, mobilized the people, and at the same time opened all the warehouses in the city, even... Even the deposit money in the Yang family bank was taken out, saying that it would be distributed to the people who had made meritorious contributions to defending the city, which mobilized everyone. It's just that the war is too fierce, and the previous silver is no longer enough. The minister had to send them some IOUs. ”

"Sixth Young Master, this time Su Weng City has been able to defend to this day, thanks to the full support of the people. You can punish me, but please honor all the IOUs in their hands, so that you can fulfill them, and the ministers are guilty, and the ministers are guilty. As he spoke, Ding Dingwei continued to kowtow to the ground. Fortunately, Yang Er had already prepared and held him again.

"Is there such a thing?" Yang Chendong was also surprised. He thought that Ding Dingwei must have used some means to get the people to help defend the city, but he didn't expect that he was so bold that he even dared to touch the silver of the Yang family's bank.

If someone dares to fight such an idea in normal times, it is natural that they will be punished for a serious crime, and it is even possible to be given death. But in times of war, all rules can be broken in order to achieve the goal. Otherwise, if you really wait for the Siamese army to enter the city, will the silver in the Yang family's bank still be spared?

Yang Chendong, who already had a number in his heart, did not express his opinion immediately, but asked after pondering for a while, "But I don't know how much silver Vice Governor Ding promised and how much silver was issued?" ”

"Sixth young master, the minister has made statistics, and there are about 80,000 taels of silver and 50,000 taels of IOUs, a total of 130,000 taels. There are ministers..."Ding Dingwei had to kneel down again to admit his mistake after speaking.

"Okay, Vice Governor Ding, you are not wrong, let alone guilty. Everything is expedient, I can understand it, the silver you are talking about, has already been issued

I will not send someone to recover it, not only that, but if it is not issued, once the siege of Suweng City is lifted, I will also send someone to pay it truthfully. Afraid that Ding Dingwei would continue to shout and admit his mistakes and continue to kowtow, Yang Chendong simply expressed his opinions and opinions.

"Ahh Ding Dingwei, who was originally thinking of kneeling, couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, and looked at Yang Chendong in surprise, as if he didn't hear clearly.

"You heard me right, I said it, you did the right thing. Compared with the loss of 130,000 taels of silver, you can keep Suweng City safe, keep the safety of hundreds of thousands of people here, and ensure that some basic facilities here are not destroyed, this is completely a sure thing, why should I blame you? You are meritorious. Yang Chendong said with a laugh.

This time. Ding Dingwei could be said to have heard it clearly, and he couldn't help but burst into tears again. He suddenly thought of the previous Phnom Penh king Polama, and thought that when the Phnom Penh dynasty was already in danger, this person was still guarding the treasury and refused to give a tael of silver, which eventually led to a great defeat and the destruction of the country. The funny thing is that the silver he took care of was all obtained by the five-star army in the end, and all the people of Raner kept it for the development of Cambodia Province, and they didn't take a cent at all.

Now after learning about the situation in the city, there is no question and harsh criticism, some are still encouragement and praise, these two contrasts are so different, it is no wonder that the five-star army can have such a scale, but the Phnom Penh Dynasty is destined to become a thing of the past. "The sixth young master is mighty, the sixth young master is mighty!"

"The Sixth Young Master is mighty." More than 20 representatives of the people sitting on the side also spoke out at the same time. They came here, representing hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and when they came here, the first question they paid attention to was whether Ding Dingwei's previous promise would be recognized in the eyes of the sixth young master.

Now after hearing Yang Chendong's words with his own ears, he finally put his heart at ease one by one, and he also said loudly and gratefully.

"Come on, everybody, please get up." Yang Chendong had a smile on his face, and Yang Er and the Black Rider Dragon Guard helped the people up one by one, and after they got down, he continued to speak, "Vice Governor Ding's words represent the current Cambodian provincial government, and what he says naturally counts. But in my opinion, this is not enough. ”

"Not enough?" Everyone was a little confused by Yang Chendong's words.

"Yes, it's not enough. This time, Suweng City has experienced this war, and now it is June, and the grain planted by the people has been destroyed, and there must be no harvest at the end of the year, so how can the people live? In the long run, by the end of this year, more other cities will transfer some relief food and distribute it to the people free of charge according to the capitation. Not only that, but the grain planted next year and after the year should be exempted from all fees, and only half of it will be paid in the year after the big year, and three years later it will be taxed according to the normal harvest. ”

Yang Chendong said in a firm tone. If you want the people to settle down and use the people for their own use, you must be anxious about what they are anxious about and think about what they think, only in this way can the world be stable and the country prosper.

"It's... Long live the sixth young master. Ding Dingwei's expression was first distracted for a while, and after fully understanding the meaning of Yang Chendong's words, he immediately knelt on the ground again and shouted long live.
