Chapter Eighty-Eight: New Crops

"Hey, did you hear that? The new Taishou-sama wiped out all the wealthy clans. On the street of Xiangping City, a young man said to another middle-aged man.

"You just know, this matter has spread, and I heard that this adult protects us ordinary people everywhere." The middle-aged man looked at the young man and said.

"Really? What else do you know? Tell me about it? The young man asked curiously.

"I heard that this lord said that in the future, there will be no nobles, ordinary people and slaves in this Xiangping City, and everyone can sit on an equal footing." The middle-aged man said mysteriously.

"Really?" The young man exclaimed excitedly.

"Be quiet, I've heard about it." The middle-aged man hurriedly pulled the young man and said.

"If it's true, I want to follow this lord too." The young man's eyes lit up and he said.

"That's not easy, you go to the recruitment hall to sign up." The middle-aged man said indifferently.

"Alas, I don't know anything except a handful of strength, so forget about the Zhaoxian Hall." The young man said with his head drooping.

"The recruitment hall is not good, you can go to the barracks to try, I heard that the military camp is very strict in the recruitment assessment, if you feel that you have enough strength, you can go to the barracks to try." Said the middle-aged.

"Yes, why didn't I think that I would go to the barracks to sign up, but you won't go." The young man said excitedly.

"I'd better forget it." The middle-aged man shook his head and said.

"Then I'll go, and I'll be able to be a general in the future." The young man said a word with a dance, and then ran in the direction of the barracks.

This kind of conversation was discussed in the whole city, and at first basically no one believed it, but when they found out, those gate valve clans really seemed to have disappeared, and they hadn't seen them for several days.

It was only at that time that the people began to believe it, and the more it spread, the more it was spread, and in the end, it was said that Lord Taishou single-handedly killed tens of thousands of people from those big families.

"Lord, now the people outside say that you are a god descending from heaven, hahahaha." In the county guard's mansion, Guo Jia said with a heartless laugh.

Cheng Yu, Xun You and Zhang Hao looked helplessly at Guo Jia dancing and talking.

"I didn't say I had three heads and six arms." Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"Lord, Yu thought this was a good opportunity." Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"Oh? What a good opportunity? Zhang Hao tilted his head and asked.

"Win over the hearts and minds of the people." Xun Yu on the side said firmly.

"Yes, that's right." Cheng Yu also nodded and said.

"What do you think should be done?" Zhang Hao looked at the three of them and asked.

"Lord, didn't you say before that you would give the land of those big families to the people to cultivate?"

"There is also land in the name of the government, which can be distributed to the people to plant."

"And the lord said that everyone is equal."

……

Cheng Yu and the three of you said one by one, Zhang Hao listened to the opinions of the three and kept nodding, and soon a set of plans was decided.

"My lord, I think it's better to take this opportunity to promote the new crop as well."

"That's great."

"I agree."

The three of them looked at Zhang Hao as they spoke.

"Okay, transfer some of the tenants in Xinghuo Village and prepare to promote the new crop." Zhang Hao thought for a while and said.

"Yes"

"In addition, the tax will be lowered, and the original crops will be taxed at 20 and 1 will be taxed at 30 for new crops." Zhang Hao continued.

For the current heavy tax, it even reaches one out of ten, coupled with all kinds of exploitation, so the people are living in poverty, Zhang Hao originally wanted to collect lower taxes.

But he also has to pay taxes to the imperial court and raise an army, so he can't rely on Zhang Xi's business income, so he can only do this for the time being.

"The Lord is merciful." The three of them listened to Zhang Hao's words, and bowed down and said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhongde will be in charge of this matter, Gongda, Fengxiao, and the two of you will assist."

"Lord, what about other counties?" Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"The other counties don't care about them for now, and then we will clean them up when we have a firm foothold in Xiangping City." Zhang Hao shook his head and said.

The local snakes in these counties will naturally not easily obey Zhang Hao, although he is too guarded and nominally governs the whole county, but if people disobey you, there is no way.

If you can go along with them, it would be better, Zhang Hao is doing this now, they won't get any benefits, so naturally they won't listen to Zhang Hao.

Two days later, a notice was posted, which caused a sensation in the city, because all the terms in the notice were beneficial to the people.

Now there are no wealthy families in Xiangping City, and the arable land in the whole city is distributed to the people to plant, and the tax has been reduced to 20 taxes and even 30 taxes for new crops.

"New crops? What new crops? ”

"And this good thing?"

"New crops? Who knows what this new crop is? ”

All were interested in this so-called new crop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have been instructed by my lord to tell you about these new crops." A young man from Xinghuo Village, standing in the center of a group of people, said loudly, next to him, there were all kinds of new crops.

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent, staring at the young man closely.

"Come, look here, this, it's called corn, the yield is particularly high, planting one acre of corn, the harvest of grain is the amount of two or three acres of crops we used to cultivate."

"And its pole is very high, a little higher than our people, we can plant soybeans and other plants next to it, so we can also use the high pole ......"

The young man introduced the people around him in the same way, from the unbelief at the beginning to the shock later.

"Everyone, I'm from Spark Village, and Spark Village is where the adults first cultivated these crops, if you don't believe me, you can go to Spark Village and see our warehouse."

After all the crops were introduced, the youth threw down the last blockbuster.

"No wonder what this person said is the truth, it turns out that people have already planted it." An old man suddenly realized.

"Is everything he said true?"

"I'm going to try it, it's only thirty taxes anyway, give it a try."

"I'm going to try it too."

A group of people began to discuss again.

"My lord, may I ask where Xinghuo Village is, I want to go and see it." A young man asked boldly.

"I'm not an adult, I'm a tenant farmer under our Lord Taishou, as for Xinghuo Village, it's in Gaoxian County, Xuansu County, and it can pass in a few days." The young man of Xianghuo Village said with a smile.

This kind of dialogue is happening all over the city, and Zhang Hao has also made great efforts to promote new crops this time, and has transferred all the tenants of Xinghuo Village to the streets and alleys of Xiangping City to introduce new crops to the people.

It only took two days for the whole city to basically understand the new crop, and if you said that you didn't know the new crop at this time, you would be ridiculed by the people around you.
