Wu Qining, Zu Xuandian, and Shan Chengxiong all had their own hearts in their hearts, and they all set their eyes on Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng smiled and bowed slightly to the three of them.

The soldiers who were in charge of maintaining order managed to silence the people.

Zheng Guodong took a long breath, calmed down, and continued to read: "The Mandate of Heaven Army will redistribute the land, not less than twenty acres per ding, whether it is the people in the city or outside the city, the new Zhizhou, will take everyone to distribute the land, you will choose whoever you trust, and the one with the most votes will be elected Zhizhou......"

"Shall we choose?"

The people are impatient, they don't care about who is elected as the governor, but care about the land, who is elected as the governor, it is the same for them, with the governor candidate, you can lead everyone to distribute the land, free distribution of land, but it has not happened for hundreds of years, it seems that the Taizu period ......

Some people are keenly aware that only when the dynasty is changed, will the land be distributed to the people for free. It seems that the Mandate of Heaven is also a type of rogue......

Such words can only rot in the heart, at least not in public on such occasions......

Zheng Guodong waited for the people to calm down, and just added: "Now take a rest for a while, the team can't be chaotic, think about it yourself, who will be selected as the governor of the state ...... later"

Give the people only a quarter of an hour to think, and they can talk in whispers, or they can consult with people they know well!

The three candidates, Wu Qining, Zu Xiandian, and Shan Chengxiong, stepped forward at this time, each greeting the people, different from the past, this time they were all full of smiles, Wu Qining also bowed a few times to the people, basically there were no words, but they were all flattering to the people.

After a little interaction with the people, the three returned to the square table and sat down on their wooden chairs, and three soldiers stepped forward and blindfolded them with a thick black cloth.

The people thought that they were about to vote, and many people had already raised their hands, Zheng Guodong stepped forward again, faced the people, pointed behind him with his right hand, and said: "The Mandate of Heaven Army is very cautious about the matter of this election, and even the Metropolitan Governor has arrived......

Li Zicheng took two steps forward, entered the center of the factory, and looked up at the people everywhere he looked, and all the people were shut.

The people originally didn't know how big an official the "Metropolitan Governor" was, but at this moment, Li Zicheng's bearing, figure, etc., looked like a big official, much more majestic than Zheng Qianhu!

The people have always been afraid of officials, but now they are facing a more terrible situation than the government, and it is said that they are rogues who kill people without blinking......

Li Zicheng's gaze was over, he bowed to the people, then waved his hand, cracked his mouth and said with a smile: "I, Li Zicheng, am now the Metropolitan Governor of the Heavenly Mandate Army, but I was originally the same as you, with mud legs and a ......."

"Haha," the people also laughed, "this Metropolitan Governor, like us, was born ...... the common people."

"No wonder the waist board is thick, and the ploughing should be a good hand!"

"I wonder if it's really land for us?"

……

He Xiaoxiao saw that the people were making a fuss, so he stepped forward and pressed his hands downwards to calm the people down for a while.

"The Governor of Pondu was born in a peasant family, he was exploited by the imperial court, and he didn't even have food overnight, and the whole family was so hungry that he cried, so he embarked on the road of rebellion......" Li Zicheng suddenly wiped his non-existent tears with his sleeve and continued: "The Governor of Pondu knows the suffering of the people, whether it is for agriculture or business, the court continues to raise taxes, and the people will inevitably have no food to eat...... Therefore, the Governor of Pontus swore that wherever the Mandate of Heaven army went, all the people would be 'fed, clothed, housed, and cultivated,' and that if anyone violated these regulations, the Governor of Pontus would be severely punished! ”

"Ah......" The people were stunned, who in the dynasties and generations put the people in their hearts? Is it true that the Metropolitan Governor said?

Maybe it's true, the Mandate of Heaven Army has just arrived in Shangzhou, and it is going to distribute land to the people......

I don't know who took the lead, from the soldiers to the people, the applause lasted for a long time, and even the women and children outside the forbidden area kept applauding to join in the fun.

The people don't like big talk, affordability is their only wish, they don't say sweet words, applause is their heart!

Zheng Guodong, Wu Qining, Zu Xiandian, and Shan Chengxiong, although they also applauded with the crowd, their faces were extremely embarrassed, and they had done nothing less to exploit the people before, if it weren't for the fact that the Metropolitan Governor was not to blame in the past, how could they be qualified to sit here? Especially Shan Chengxiong, he was originally a tax collector, and tax collection was his main job, in order to complete the quota issued by the Xi'an government, he was ......

In their hearts, they were all terrified, and they unconsciously turned their heads to look at Li Zicheng, but except for Zheng Guodong, Wu Qining, Zu Xiandian, and Shan Chengxiong were blinded by black cloth and couldn't see anything.

Li Zicheng couldn't see them, and in his eyes, all the people lined up in the training ground:

"The days when the government exploited the people, so that the people had no livelihood, and sold their sons and daughters, have completely ended, the Mandate of Heaven army came to Shangzhou, no taxes will be levied this year, and taxes will be levied in the future, all of which are fifteen taxes and one, and there is no Liao's salary, training salary, and salary, and there is no poll tax......"

There was another round of warm applause, this time, the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven did not secretly guide, it was completely their inner calling!

"Snakes can't fly without heads, birds can't fly without heads, and the policies of the Heavenly Mandate Army also need to be implemented by Zhizhou," Li Zicheng said: "Now that the Heavenly Mandate Army gives you the right to choose, you think whoever is the most honest and fair, you will choose whom!" ”

This time, the applause was sparse, and most of the people were pondering how to exercise their right to choose.

Li Zicheng knows that the current people, no culture, no national concept, selfish heart is very heavy, just giving grace is far from enough, but also to stand up, "Fathers, elders, people, the Mandate of Heaven Army does its best to care for the people in their own land, but you must also abide by the relevant system, if anyone dares to cheat, disobey orders, and disrupt the venue, the governor of Pontus will be severely punished, and even cancel his land distribution rights!" ”

The people looked at Li Zicheng's face that had become gloomy and resolute, and suddenly gasped, and the scene was quiet for a while, and even the women and children on the periphery were breathing.

After Li Zicheng bowed to the people, he quietly withdrew, and Zheng Guodong announced the rules for the election of Zhizhou according to Li Zicheng's arrangement.

On the square table in front of Wu Qining, Zu Xuandian, and Shan Chengxiong, there is a large basket, and the basket is now empty.

According to the queue, the people stepped forward in turn, walked to the square table, the soldiers gave each person a soybean, whoever the people trusted, put the soybeans in the basket in front of whom, the election is over, whoever has the most soybeans in the basket, who will become the new governor.

There is nothing wrong with the rules themselves, and the candidates are blindfolded, and there is a "secret ballot" in which no matter who is elected, there is no way to retaliate against the voters......

The people followed the instructions of the soldiers, every three columns, began to move forward, marched to the square table, the soldiers would give a soybean, and then watch the people put the soybeans into a certain candidate's basket, choose who is the people's right, the soldiers will not interfere, as long as they do not take the soybeans home.

The people who have voted for soybeans will return to the other side of the drill and line up again, on the one hand, to wait for the results of the election, and on the other hand, to prevent the people from throwing beans repeatedly.

At the beginning, the people were not very accustomed to it, in order to put the soybeans into whose basket, they often racked their brains, and even hesitated, and waited until the end of the soldiers in a row to throw the beans, whether it was the soldiers or the people behind, they were familiar with the road, and the speed was much faster.

The three candidates were blindfolded, and before the election ended, they did not know the exact result, and could only roughly judge the number of direct votes based on the sound of the soybeans falling into the basket, and now the three of them were the most nervous.

When most of the people finished throwing beans, the basket in front of Wu Qining was already full, and the soldiers had to take a basket again and put it aside.

Li Zicheng felt strange, did this Wu Qining really have such a high prestige among the people? Most of the people still have the herd heart, and whoever has more soybeans in the basket will throw beans into him.

The result doesn't matter, whoever is elected to the state is the same for Li Zicheng.

For the people, this is their own choice, no matter what kind of people the governor is, the people will trust them more than before, and the next land distribution work will be smoother, as far as the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Office is concerned, there is an urgent need for a governor to be in charge of civil affairs, and the more harmonious the relationship between the government and the people, the better.

The newly elected Zhizhou will also be different from before, he is not appointed by the imperial court, nor is he directly appointed by the Mandate of Heaven, but is elected by the people, at least for a short time, he has a sense of gratitude to the people, and his actions will not be too extreme, and he will care about the people to some extent.

The unsuccessful officials will also be touched in their hearts, the style of the Heavenly Mandate Army is very special, and if they want to be appointed as governors in the future, or even promoted, they must get the support of the people.

This is a simple and preliminary election, and there may be many imperfections, which may not be promoted in the future, but at least in the current Shangzhou, the people can understand and accept the Mandate of Heaven as soon as possible......

Li Zicheng watched the ranks of the people continue to advance, but he was thinking about the next move in his heart.

The results of this election, except for the three candidates, the others have long been clear at a glance, Wu Qining received more than half of the total amount of soybeans, and was elected as the governor of Shangzhou.

Immediately after untying the black cloth covering his eyes, he bowed and thanked all the people, and said in public that he would treat everyone fairly in his future actions, whether it was taxation or the distribution of land.

After verbal negotiations with Li Zicheng, Wu Qining decided that before the new yuan, the land outside the city would be allocated, and all the land, no matter who the original owner was, would participate in the redistribution; Villages a little far away from the city, after the new yuan, will also be distributed as soon as possible, as far as possible not to delay the people's spring ploughing.

Zu Xiangdian and Shan Chengxiong won the second and third votes, and they lost the election of Zhizhou, and they were originally going to be disqualified, but Li Zicheng considered that the current Shangzhou was particularly lacking in civil officials, so he temporarily appointed Zu Xiangdian as a judge, independently exercising judicial power, and Wu Qining supervised each other and did not subordinate each other; Shan Chengxiong is a tax official subordinate to Wu Qining and is under the command of Wu Qining.

Li Zicheng summoned Wu Qining, Zu Xiandian, Shan Chengxiong, and Zheng Guodong that night, not only to congratulate Wu Qining and them, but also to explain the style and laws of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, and to give a general report on the current situation of the Mandate of Heaven Army.

The four of them were all surprised, originally thinking that the Heavenly Mandate Army was just a strong force, but they didn't expect that they had already seized Qinghai, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces......
