Chapter 918: Calming People's Hearts (Part II)
Lin Feng's words calmed down many people in the square a little.
At this moment, there was no worry in my heart, panic, the wind in the square seemed to be refreshing, and the birds were good.
Everything seems to be changing for the better!
The square was silent for a while, Lin Feng took two steps forward, and continued in a loud voice: "Recently, the vicinity of Ancheng, and even the territory of Cai Kingdom, are full of gossip that is unfavorable to the Yan army and me.
However, hearing is false, seeing is believing, I believe that in the square, there must be businessmen who have been to Dayan, and they have been in contact with Dayan officials and businessmen, and they must be clear in their hearts.
Dayan lightly taxed, treated merchants, tenant farmers, and long-term workers equally, and treated merchants of vassal states in accordance with the laws and policies of Dayan, and never did anything to harm merchants from various countries. ”
Hearing this, Lin Feng's words, the square, gradually became noisy.
In the square, there are indeed many businessmen who have been to Jiangbei to do business, and they know the national policies and laws of Dayan, and the facts have proved that in public, Lin Feng did not lie, let alone deliberately deceive.
Lin Feng glanced at the whisperer in the square, raised his hand and put it down gently, signaling the people in the square to calm down.
When the people were calm, Lin Feng continued without hesitation: "I led the army south, just to seize the mountains and rivers in the south, and I will never hurt the innocent people.
Of course, I only said that innocent people would not be harmed, and anyone who blocked the Yan army from going south and opposed me was not included! ”
"Emperor Yan, we are just ordinary businessmen, going south and north to earn profits, and we will never dare to go against Emperor Yan and the Great Yan Iron Cavalry."
"That's right, we are at the end of the world, and our status is low, how dare we go against Emperor Yan!"
…………
Hearing Lin Feng's words, in the square, in front of the team, many people expressed their stance that they did not dare to oppose Dayan.
Without waiting for everyone to say more, Lin Feng nodded and said meaningfully: "The sea is inclusive, there is tolerance, and the Yan country is strong, which is inseparable from the efforts of the people of the Yan country themselves, but it also has a close relationship with the merchants who come from the south to the north. Therefore, we have always adopted a kind, mutually beneficial and win-win attitude towards businessmen.
At present, the Yanqi occupy Anseong, but, as rumored, levied heavy taxes on the merchants who passed through Anseong, on the contrary, today I announced that all merchants who bring their goods to Anseong to sell, buy and sell in Anseong, and implement a 21 tax in Anseong. ”
"Emperor Yan, this is true!"
In front of the square, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out, dressed in silk and satin, and at first glance he was definitely a rich man!
That's right, this person is indeed in the north and south all the year round, and in Yanjing City, the imperial city of Dayan, he also set up a chamber of commerce, and he is worth a lot of money.
In his opinion, in the mule and horse markets in Dayan, the eleventh tax has been the lowest among the princely states.
At this time, Lin Feng announced the implementation of the twenty-one tax in Ancheng, didn't he mean that the taxation in Ancheng would become the lightest place among the vassal states.
Merchants from all over the world will make a lot of money by transporting goods to Anseong and only taking 21 taxes!
When Lin Feng heard this, he smiled lightly, and said in a firm tone: "A gentleman's words, a quick horse and a whip, not to mention that I am the emperor of Dayan, you have no jokes, everyone can rest assured, doing business in the territory of Dayan, you will definitely not encounter difficulties, if you encounter difficulties, you will directly negotiate with this king!" ”
Hearing Lin Feng's domineering words, it was not like saying without evidence, many businessmen whispered again.
After a long time, the square gradually quieted down, and everyone raised their heads in unison, their eyes focused on Lin Feng.
In just a short moment, instead of harming the merchants of the vassal states, Emperor Yan quickly announced two great news, dispelling everyone's doubts, and was also full of interest in Da Yan and Lin Feng!
"Emperor Yan, can the Yan army occupy the south and ensure the interests of the merchants?" Li Changgui stood up and asked tremblingly.
He knew that Emperor Yan was strong, the Great Yan army protected the interests of the people of Yan State, and the caravan of Yan State, among the vassal states, no one dared to invade easily!
"All the people of Yan State, the Yan army will ensure the interests of Yan businessmen, and in addition, wherever the Yan army occupies, they will adopt the same laws and policies as Dayan, and strive to ensure the interests of the people everywhere and strive for the prosperity of Dayan!" Lin Feng said without hesitation.
"I support Emperor Yan to go south!" Li Changgui said.
In the vassal states, either the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce or the confusion of commercial policies, many kings did not promulgate policies in favor of merchants, but instead hoped to extract benefits from merchants.
Only the Great Yan and the Song State fully supported the development of the merchants, and the Yan and Song countries also became the only two remaining vassal states in the north.
Once, the Yan army supports the interests of the merchants, and the Yan Emperor seizes the world, it will naturally form a happy land that is favorable to the merchants!
"I welcome businessmen from all walks of life, and also welcome the interests of all parties to enter Dayan, with a win-win situation for all parties, the people can be rich, and Dayan can form a foundation for all generations!" Lin Feng said with a smile, just like he said before, the sea is tolerant of all rivers, tolerance is great, the Yan army breaks into the south, and the top and bottom of the Great Yan must learn to be tolerant.
On this day, he communicated with the merchants of Lin Feng's vassal states for a long time, and did not lead his troops to leave until the sun set in the west.
The next day, notices were posted all over Anseong, announcing the Dayan policy and showing Dayan's attitude towards the south!
.............................
Da Yue, the imperial city of Dingkang!
The economic, political and cultural center of Vietnam is extremely prosperous and powerful.
Forty miles from east to west, north and south, there are three city walls, known as the strongest imperial capital in the south.
Qinhuai in the south, Houhai in the north, the dragon and the tiger, domineering, after thousands of years of wind and rain, still standing in the southeast.
In the bustling imperial capital, it is still lively recently, and there are constantly good news coming back from the front!
Not long ago, Zhang Yuting sent back the good news, the Vietnamese army invaded Cai State, successively annexed the east of Cai State, and the army arrived at Yecheng, which was 100 miles away from Mocheng, the capital of Emperor Cai, and captured Yecheng, captured Mocheng, and annexed Cai State, just around the corner!
However, since Zhang Yuting sent back the news of asking for troops not long ago, not only has there been no good news, but even the 60,000 troops seem to have disappeared out of thin air!
For half a month, there has been no news from the front line, and in the court, Han Yanxi, the emperor of the Yue Kingdom, has become like an ant, and the ministers of the court have also become worried!
There are also various gossip in the market, some people say that Zhang Yuting led 60,000 Vietnamese troops to defect to Cai Guo, and some people say that they saw traces of Zhang Yuting's leadership in the south of Cai Guo.
Some people also say that Zhang Yuting was ambitious, captured Mocheng, supported troops in Mocheng and stood on his own, and broke away from the Yue Kingdom.
In short, within half a month, there was no news from Zhang Yuting, and in Dingkang City, all kinds of news appeared, and people were panicked!
However, various conjectures have not been confirmed!
No one knows where Zhang Yuting led 60,000 Vietnamese troops!
The west gate of Dingkang City, one of the main passages to Cai Guo!
In the anxious waiting of the whole country, a wounded war horse rushed into Dingkang from the west gate, and the war horse galloped wildly, and from time to time there would be drops of blood in the wounds on his body!
Boom!
The war horse rushed into the west gate of Dingkang City for a hundred steps, but his body could not support it, and finally collapsed like a dangerous wall.
The general on horseback was thrown four or five steps away and fell heavily to the ground, his whole body bones as if broken, and he let out a scream of pain.
The guards guarding the city at the west gate, seeing the situation a hundred steps away, hurriedly stepped forward to investigate the situation.
At this time, the general who fell to the ground, in rags, slowly stood up, and when the guard arrived, he grabbed the guard's arm and said in a hoarse voice: "Quick, quickly take Ben Jiang into the palace, Ben will have important news to report to the emperor." ”
The guard looked stunned, looking at the shaggy and messy general, his eyes widened, and his face showed a look of horror!
Li Hengan?
This person seems to be one of the deputy generals under Zhang Dashuai, when the 100,000 Vietnamese troops went out of the city in a rage, he had seen four deputy generals under Zhang Dashuai at the city gate.
"General Lee?" The guard screamed, but the man was already in his arms and fell asleep.
"You two, come here, carry General Zhang into the palace on your back!" The guards hurriedly beckoned to the two guards guarding the city!
Soon, there were two guards guarding the city, holding short swords, quickly stepped forward, looked at the general with broken armor, did not dare to say more, one carried Li Heng'an, and the remaining two protected along the way, and went to the palace.
In the palace, the emperor of Yue Guo and Han Yanxi are correcting the folds in the court.
Not long ago, the state of Chu sent a messenger to send a document asking why the Vietnamese army had not conquered Mocheng, and did not let Wu Jieshao and Feng Yi lead the army to the north to King Qin.
If the Yue army continues to choose to stand still, Chu and Yue will unite and be completely dispersed, and the Chu army will go north alone and swallow Cai alone!
Han Yanxi put down the wolf in his hand, his heart was in turmoil, walking back and forth in the imperial study, anxious, and secretly guessing where Zhang Yuting was going with the 60,000 Vietnamese army.
If it weren't for Zhang Yuting, who was a veteran of the Yue Kingdom and had made many meritorious contributions to the Yue Kingdom, he even suspected that Zhang Yuting, with 60,000 Vietnamese troops, quietly defected to Dayan.
Unable to get the news, Han Yanxi was irritable in his heart, and his pace couldn't help but quicken, and soon, his palm slapped on the dragon case!
Soon, the guard outside the study quickly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Li Hengan is back?" ”
Li Hengan?
When Han Yanxi heard this, he looked stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Li Hengan, let him in immediately!" ”
Li Hengan is one of the four deputy generals under Zhang Yuting's account, and Li Hengan's trace will definitely be news of Zhang Yuting!
"Your Majesty, General Li is resting outside the palace!" The guard said.
Hearing the sound, Han Yanxi didn't ask questions, and walked quickly to the outside of the study, and when he walked outside the study, Han Yanxi saw that outside the study, in the corridor, Li Hengan was in rags, like a beggar, and there were three guards standing beside him.
When Han Yanxi saw Li Hengan, he was taken aback and asked urgently: "Is Li Hengan dead or alive?" ”
Before walking out of the study, Han Yanxi was in a joyful mood, thinking that Li Hengan would definitely bring back good news when he returned from the front line, after all, before, the Vietnamese army often sent back good news from the front line.
However, he really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and he suddenly became angry and said like thunder: "Who can tell me what happened? ”
