"It is precisely because you are not yet in the climate, far from the ability of one or two thousand to break 100,000 like Xue Rengui's core elite back then, and a few thousand can be hundreds of thousands of troops, so I, the Son of Heaven, is not a true "Son of Heaven" who can make decisions for the people of the whole world, even if it is not as good as Li Yuan and others in Taiyuan at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Not only does it depend on the attitude of civil and military officials and even the clan for the time being, but they can't touch the slightest illegal selfish gain of those people, but even in the face of some thieves below me, they have to try to avoid making too much trouble and losing face. If the Jiannu outside the gate are nothing in front of you, the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods inside the gate are nothing in front of you. Of course I don't need to do that. So: it's all because you can't fight for the time being ... “

Xiao Xuan continued to add with some feelings: "At the same time, it is precisely because of the strength of foreign enemies that I have to do this. I always have to guard against the bad situation of anyone colluding with foreign countries inside and outside, so I have to be so cautious in many things. If it was just those thieves in the Ming Dynasty, then of course I wouldn't mind following the example of Emperor Taizu back then to fight the world again. But now, when you don't have the ability to deal with at least half of the strength of the Kanwai Jiannu alone... In the future, you should cherish the ointment of the people, which has been obtained from the people at great cost and cost, and bring out their greatest effect... ”

"Holy..." Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, many of the teenagers in charge of this matter in the guard camp around him seemed to be a little thunderous.

In essence, in this era when information is far less developed than that of later generations, these teenagers, who are only thirteen or fourteen years old and have not been exposed to much worldly affairs, still have some sincerity and simplicity in their hearts.

Xiao Xuan was also a little worried, "Of course, if those thieves treat themselves too much, and regard my performance towards those people as weakness, and don't return the face at all, I don't mind using thunder means in my own one-third of an acre!" ”

Knowing that the Son of Heaven's pro-army rushed to Baoding Mansion, the county magistrate of Qingyuan County was first frightened, and of course the eunuchs in charge of the local Huangzhuang were also the same. It wasn't until the end, when Xiao Xuan's team unexpectedly sent those Zhuang people who planned to avenge their grievances, that many people's panicked hearts settled down.

"How many acres of land are there in Qingyuan County? How many acres belong to Huangzhuang? What is the general harvest in Huangzhuang in Qingyuan County this year? You're all your own people, and I want to tell the truth. This time I led the team only to guard, and I didn't mean to arrest you... When the first batch of officials and eunuchs arrived, Xiao Xuan asked in the temporary military tent. At first, these people only thought that it was the team sent by the Son of Heaven to lead the army, but it was not until this time that they realized that it was the Son of Heaven who slipped out of the capital without warning and came in person without any news. ”

"Holy ... The slave is guilty... Qingyuan County actually has 557,000 acres of land, Huangzhuang actually occupies 75,000 acres of land, and the total number of villagers... About nine thousand in all... This year, the area around Beizhili is still not too good. However, the fields of Qingyuan Huangzhuang are generally irrigated, and the average yield of corn per mu is about 110 catties, with a total harvest of 55,000 stones. . . ”

"Seventy-five thousand acres? Hehe, it should be more than that, right? Do you want me to spend a lot of effort to measure... ”

"Slave ... The slave and the maid are wronged, and the slave and the maid are detailed: The Huangzhuang in Qingyuan County once reached more than 100,000 mu in the Wanli Dynasty, but this includes many large households who have donated it, and 55,000 stones are the grain that can be harvested. . . ”

"So how much did you pay?" Xiao Xuan didn't use the tone of interrogation, and when he said this, he was a little gentler.

"Turn it in... Hand in... Sell the silver... Banzai... Banzai... The slave is guilty... At this time, although the chief eunuch in the village heard that Xiao Xuan's attitude was not very strict, he also knew that this was obviously not the time to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and I am afraid that many situations would have been revealed through the mouths of those people before.

Just when the chief eunuch of Qingyuan County was about to explain something, Xiao Xuan thought about it and took the initiative to say: "This is a general understanding of Zhuang Min's promotion, and I have asked more than one person, even if there is some deception, it should not be too far away." I also learned a lot of things. I know that it is not easy to manage so many villagers, there is always a need for manpower, and the heads of the village and their families also need to eat, and even have something to behold. The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and these are not only common things in Huangzhuang, but also in many places. Therefore, I am not here to ask the teacher about sin. I only sincerely plan to borrow some grain from the village, and I want to borrow 33,000 stone of grain from the entire Huangzhuang in Qingyuan County, that is, sixty percent of the harvest. I believe that if the lives of the villagers remain unchanged, they should still leave you some foundation. I will not talk empty words when I touch my lips, but I will be like the trustworthy people of the people... As he spoke, Xiao Xuan gestured slightly to the young soldiers beside him, and took an IOU with the imperial seal that had been prepared a long time ago. The amount of grain that I plan to borrow this time above, and the amount of silver that I plan to repay in two or three years...

"I think you should also be able to read the numbers, with an annual interest of 20%, plus interest on free food for three years from the beginning of the next year. Isn't that fair? After all, I'm not a household that can't open the pot, I think you, the chief eunuch, won't the donkey roll on my head, right? Hehe... Xiao Xuan added in a gentle tone: "If you, the chief eunuch, still can't trust me, the emperor. I don't mind speaking in front of the people in the county, and when I go back, I speak up about it in front of the important ministers of the court... ”

"Holy ... The benevolence and great grace of the saints, the slaves and maids are unforgettable... Several of the chief eunuchs and the head of the village seemed to be very moved at this time.

However, as the Son of Heaven for about two months, Xiao Xuan's comprehension is still a little stronger than before he crossed the possession, and when he heard these words that seemed to be very excited, he always seemed to reveal a false intention and artificiality in a hazy way, and at this time, after thinking for a while, he didn't plan to hide it, and said bluntly: "Among my own people, I still like to be frank and straightforward, don't be like outsiders." I know that the little Jiujiu in your hearts now: Why did the Holy One come here in person at this time? If you send someone, you can still deal with it. Oh, and there has been no snow since the beginning of winter, and next year will be a year of great disaster, and today's tens of thousands of stone grain may become hundreds of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver by the time it comes next year, right? I can assure you here: I will do it myself, the wicked hoarder. If there are more than the 10,000 elite soldiers around me, I will return the full amount, how about it? Do you want me to make another note? ”
