Princess Changle has sealed 3,000 households, accounting for almost half of the tax revenue of Wannian County, there is an agency dedicated to collecting rent and taxes for her, managing people's livelihood, and mediating disputes. Of course, these six people are all talented people selected by Li Shimin for her, and as for the salary or something, Changle will pay it himself.

The chief manager, Li Chen, was about fifty years old, and at first glance he was a shrewd and capable person, and after hearing the intention of the eldest princess and the future concubine, he led them in the direction of the workshop.

When passing by the farmland, I saw patches of fields green, the growth is very gratifying, if nothing else, it will be another bumper harvest year.

The group walked for miles and crossed a stone bridge!

A large area of particularly abrupt farmland appeared in front of everyone's eyes, different from other green rice, the rice here is yellow and pressing, and it looks sluggish.

Li Chen was taken aback and said, "I just inspected here half a month ago, and the farmland here is no different from the other side, and even grows better!" How did you become like this in just half a month? ”

Luo Tong said in a deep voice: "You can understand it when you look at this canal."

When everyone looked at it, they saw that the ditch was black and mushy, and the muddy sewage flowed to the farmland, and the water in the farmland was also black!

"This sewage is the main culprit that causes the seedlings to wilt. If nothing surprises me, this sewage is discharged from the paper factory! ”

In his previous life, Luo Tong went to the southwest Hunan and Guizhou borders, and once saw the sewage discharged from a paper mill, polluting the entire river, poisoning many children who swam in the summer. There are no chemical companies in Datang, therefore, in addition to the papermaking workshop, it is impossible for other workshops to cause such a big pollution.

"The seedlings are withered, but there is not a single people in this field! The owner of this field must be begging for justice, and we must hurry over, or we will die!" ”

Farmers live on the farmland, and the harvest is good, and the next year's life is good, and the harvest is poor, and the next year's life is hard, but if there is a natural or man-made disaster, and there is no harvest, they will not have a good life in the coming year. Therefore, the annual spring ploughing is very important for the people, and destroying the spring ploughing is equivalent to destroying their livelihoods, and destroying the seedlings is equivalent to killing them! Will the people be polite to those who want the lives of the people? The answer is clearly not!

Luo Tong analyzed rationally and said: "Yaochi and Jin Fengwei are protecting Wan'er and Changle, I will take the first step, and you can go upstream." ”

Princess Changle threw her token to Luo Tong and said loudly: "Brother Luo Tong, you act on my behalf, let the people calm down, don't hurt people's lives!" ”

Princess Changle's phoenix eyes flashed with infinite anger,

This canal was dug for a good harvest this year, how did it become a deadly passage for the people? Who is polluting this lifeline on which the people depend.

Endless anger also surged in her heart, and the person who polluted the ditch undoubtedly stabbed the people in the chest.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it! Be careful, let yourself fall and get hurt. Luo Tong took the token, rode his horse and galloped, and the more polluted the water source became, the more the seedlings in the deep acres of fields had completely dried up.

After running for several miles, there was a burst of noise and noise ahead, and from a distance, I saw that more than a thousand people with sticks had gathered in the fields, and everyone was excited, surrounding several thatched huts.

"Datang Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang will Luo Tong, who was ordered by Princess Changle to deal with this matter, and everyone will step down for me." Seeing that the anger of the people had reached the critical point of eruption, Luo Tong rode his horse and whipped his horse, and rushed directly in front of the people from the oblique thorns, blocking their intention to advance.

Hearing Luo Tong drink like this, all the people took a step back.

"Princess Changle Token is here! Who dares not to obey. Luo Tong held up Changle's token and shouted.

The people of Wannian County are under the jurisdiction of Princess Changle, and Luo Tong, who is holding the token of Princess Changle, appeared unexpectedly, so that the passionate people all avoided their mouths, and in the face of Princess Changle, the main figure in the fiefdom, the people are very jealous.

Luo Tong rode back and galloped, and said in a loud voice: "Along the way, I also saw that the ditch was polluted, I understand why you are so angry, I understand your feelings, but the matter has come to this point, even if the culprit is killed, it will not solve the problem, it will only make you punished by the laws of the Tang Dynasty." You have already lost a lot, do you want to put your life into it? Princess Changle and Li Chen, they will be here in a while. Therefore, please everyone, what you have in your hands, as your patron, as the owner of this fiefdom, Princess Changle will definitely seek justice for you. Everyone put everything down, Princess Changle is His Majesty's favorite princess, and it would be bad if people mistakenly thought that they were attacking the princess. ”

Luo Tong is a figure in the army, and his body is convincing and imposing. The people also felt that Luo Tong had a point. The crime of attacking the princess was not something that ordinary people could afford, and they all put down their sticks one by one.

Luo Tong breathed a long sigh of relief! If so many people in the workshop were attacked at the same time, he really couldn't help it!

Hit these innocent victims? He Luo Tong can't do it.

At this time, an old uncle with a white beard rushed out and cried: "General Luo, you are the great hero of the Tang Dynasty, everyone obeys you!" You're right. However, the grass people's fields are not far from here, and the seedlings in the fields have withered due to the impact of sewage. The sky is pitiful, the grass people, a family of six, all rely on these to live, and now teach us how to live in the coming year. ”

Luo Tong jumped off the horse, helped the old uncle up, and said, "Don't worry, this old man!" Princess Changle asked me to take full authority to deal with this matter, and I will definitely handle this matter impartially and will not let you suffer any losses in vain. ”

After appeasing the old uncle, Luo Tong thought that the seedlings that were growing well seemed to have only been in the field for a short time, and couldn't help asking: "Is it too late to replant the seedlings now?" ”

The old farmer thought about it seriously and said, "It's in time." ”

When Luo Tong heard this, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and then said to the people: "This old man is already old, and he must be an experienced farmer!" Do you believe his words? ”

"Everyone sows and sprinkles seeds is Uncle Chen's idea, and everyone naturally believes his words."

"yes, yes!"

“……”

The people have expressed their positions.

Luo Tong had an idea, and said with a smile: "I want to ask you." You want to drag the man out of the house, beat him to death, and pay for his life. Or will we destroy the source of pollution, clean the ditches, and re-cultivate them to ensure a good life in the coming year? ”

"This ...... Naturally, the ditches were re-cleared and re-cultivated. Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment and made a choice.

Others were the same, echoing the old man's decision. In their eyes, it is better to be able to live than anything else. They lost their minds when they saw that He Miao had suffered heavy losses, and now that they have calmed down, how dare they maliciously create murders.

"If you can trust me Rotong, immediately organize the men to clean the ditches, drain all the water in the fields, and plow them again! I asked Li Chen to buy seedlings for everyone, and while the good days of spring plowing have not yet passed, all the polluted fields will be restarted to ensure that you can have a good harvest in the autumn. I will ask Li Chen to register your names and the size of the damaged fields one by one, and if the harvest is affected, I will act according to the roster, and when the time comes, those that should be tax-exempt will be exempted from tax, and those who should be compensated will be compensated. As for the source of this pollution, I will dismantle it within this day, and I will not worry about it. ”

Hearing Luo Tong's arrangement, the people present were deeply moved and bowed their heads one after another.

Luo Tong hurriedly helped Uncle Chen up, asked everyone to get up, and encouraged loudly: "Time is pressing, how about everyone do it immediately?" I asked Li Chen to take charge of the purchase of seedlings, and promised that as soon as you finished cleaning the ditches, the seedlings would be delivered to you immediately. And the days that you have been delayed in replanting will give you wages, and I will ask you to do your work. ”

"The general has already helped us so much, if it weren't for the general's timely arrival, I don't know how many villagers would have to pay for their lives, the general saved the villagers, how could the grass people let the princess and the general break the bank! It's just a few days, small things, and everyone is idle. Uncle Chen flatly refused.

The people also expressed their refusal.

Li Chen was so anxious that he borrowed a war horse from Jin Fengwei, and he had already arrived, seeing that Luo Tong had suppressed the people, and the dispute was handled in an orderly manner, and he was greatly impressed by the magic of the method and the sophistication of the technique, so he didn't make a sound! When the matter was resolved, he expressed his support: "Everyone, please rest assured, I will do what General Luo says, and I, Li Chen, will definitely live up to your expectations." ”

The people don't know much about Luo Tong, but Li Chen has deep expectations in Wannian County, and hearing him say this makes me feel more relieved! One by one, they scattered in all directions, and they were busy. Uncle Chen took a few men and ran upstream to cut off the water.

"Mr. Li is worthy of praise for his personal efforts, but there are only a few of you. Tired to death can't manage so many fields, and the lack of manpower can make the people take turns to observe the fields! I'll report to you as soon as I notice an anomaly, it's much better than a few of you, and it's not wrong. The people live on the fields, and they will take care of them with their hearts. ”

Li Chen's eyes lit up, and he said respectfully: "I have been taught, and when this matter is resolved, I will definitely mobilize the people to help according to the general's law!" It's just a workshop thing......"

"The matter is urgent, the top priority is to buy seedlings for the people, and we can find the paper workshop ourselves. With Changle's token, it's the same if you don't get there. ”

Li Chen understood what Luo Tong meant, nodded and said, "I'll go to the county and ask the county magistrate, where are the seedlings left, and I won't delay spring ploughing." The situation was urgent, and he left in a hurry without saying much.

"What about the troublemakers!" The matter has been resolved, so that when the women's army arrived, not a single person could see it, Zheng Liwan still asked vigorously.

She and Changle's riding skills are not perfect, and when they walk on the narrow ridge, the two of them are terrified, holding on to the reins of the horse, for fear of planting themselves in the paddy field, and it will be very bad if they get muddy water.

Luo Tong smiled: "It's been solved!" "I told everyone what happened.

"That's amazing!" Zheng Liwan was surprised, if it were her, it was estimated that even the people would not be able to convince her!

Luo Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "That's, don't look at who it is?" You didn't fall, did you? ”

"That's it!" Zheng Liwan did the same, and actually imitated Luo Tong's cowhide coaxing appearance and said: "Don't look at who it is?" ”

The crowd burst out laughing.
