Chapter 125: Careful Investigation
Although Lin Yu's decision was very decisive, and he didn't think much about it, the people below felt that this was not very good, after all, there was no such situation before, and even if there were, there were not so many people who encountered the same reason, so they were not so optimistic about it.
One of the people below whispered to Lin Yu: "Lord Changshi, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to do this, after all, this will definitely reduce a lot of income, so it's not easy to explain to the prince, right?" ”
"Oh yes? So what do you think should be done? Continue to insist on the original amount, so that they can not live normally, will there be people who continue to rent land, that will also cause trouble, isn't it also difficult to explain to the prince! Lin Yu looked dissatisfied, and was not very optimistic about this person's statement, mainly because the other party questioned his decision.
"Lord Changshi misunderstood, I don't mean anything else, I just think that the adults can ask the prince about it, and then make such a decision, so that you can explain such a thing, not now, so you can't explain it to the king." The man argued.
"Okay, don't say more, I know what you mean, don't you just think that I can't make such a decision, and it needs to be solved by the prince? But I don't think so, since the prince asked me to be in charge of such a thing, I must have the right to decide, so don't talk too much, I must have a way to deal with this matter. Lin Yu also has such an attitude, and he will not be changed by the other party's words.
Being said by Lin Yu like this, this person is not good to say anything more, and then nodded and continued to do things, he knew that he could not change such a decision.
In fact, Lin Yu knew what the other party meant, and he also knew that the other party was actually worried that he had made a wrong decision and would be blamed, but Lin Yu still had his own confidence, since he was responsible for such a thing, then he could decide how to deal with it, even if the prince was dissatisfied at that time, then he could also bear it, but at present, it was up to him to decide.
As soon as Lin Yu's decision was announced, there were really many people who encountered the same situation, and they came to express their own experience and the need to reduce such taxes, and the number of people who had the same experience increased sharply in the next few days, so it can be said that Lin Yu also opened such an opening.
Lin Yu didn't think much about this, and felt that since someone was in trouble, he also needed to give some help, and this time it was not to say that all of them were exempted, but just to reduce them, and for the overall number, it should not affect too much, even if there is an impact, but it is also less income, and it will not affect the food and clothing of the people in the house.
Of course, Lin Yu did this not only to talk, but also to investigate, mainly to find out the facts, and when the time comes, he can also explain to the prince.
This time, Lin Yu also decided to take the initiative to investigate the matter, not that he didn't believe in others, but mainly to show that he was really working hard to do this, rather than just saying such a decision and not doing such a thing. Kiss
During the period of grain harvesting, Lin Yu also quietly walked around various places, inquiring about the situation, after a few days of investigation, it was basically certain that what they said was true, and there were indeed rebels who walked through their local area in a hurry, destroying some grain, resulting in a loss of their income.
However, although the facts are facts, as for whether all these people have encountered such a situation, it is uncertain, and further investigation is still needed, after all, the number of people this time is indeed quite a lot, at least one or two hundred households.
Although the number of rebels is indeed quite large, it is conceivable that such a range of losses will be caused, but if everyone is the same loss, then it is a bit unreliable, after all, it is impossible to have such a balance, so it needs to be further investigated.
Lin Yu believes that there are indeed many people who are really in trouble, but it should also be someone who is opportunistic, deliberately exaggerating or putting things that are not in place on themselves, so as to reduce the payment of such food.
Therefore, Lin Yu will really let people who encounter difficulties reduce the amount of payment, but for those who deliberately cheat, Lin Yu will still let him double the amount of payment, which is still fairer for Lin Yu.
The matter of collecting rent has been basically completed in a few days, compared to before, it is indeed less, Lin Yu can also clearly see from the number, it is still relatively obvious, of course, it is also because of such a thing, in order to have a satisfactory explanation to the prince, Lin Yu did not tell this matter as soon as possible, but waited until the investigation was completed.
In the next few days, Lin Yu and Xiao Wu also started a household investigation of such a thing, although this is indeed more troublesome, but there is no way, he has to figure out this matter, even if it is not investigated one by one, it is necessary to investigate most of it, so even if there are one or two frauds, it doesn't matter, the fact is that there is no way.
"Childe, we have a family to investigate, I don't know how long it will take, is it really necessary, since most of the situation is like this, then I don't think there is any need to investigate, even if the investigation really shows that there are false things in one or two households, then it will basically not affect the entire result, and the reduction in the number is still unchangeable, what do you say?" Xiao Wu persuaded.
"Your words are indeed not wrong, even if the investigation comes out, it will not affect the current results, but why do I continue to do this, in fact, it is not only because I want to investigate, the most important thing is to make the king and others believe that we are really doing this, not just talking about it, this is the most basic, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome for the king to believe in this matter at that time."
"After all, if we don't go to such an investigation, we won't know clearly just by staying in the mansion, and even if we tell the prince, it won't seem to be too convincing, so we need such real actions, understand?" Lin Yu was also analyzing, so that the other party also understood such a thing.
"Childe, when you say this, I also understand, or you are thoughtful and know how to do all these things, so you can have evidence to prove what you said, so you can explain it because of the reduction of these grains." Xiao Wu looked suddenly enlightened, and he still admired it very much.
