Xiao Luzi was secretly anxious, but he knew that now Liu Yuetian only had less than two hundred taels of silver left, which seemed to be a lot, but after careful calculation, he knew whether it was enough.

You have to pay for a meal, right? Dressing costs money, right? There are also Zhang Xingsan's guards, they also have to have military salaries, and after these calculations, I am afraid that two hundred taels of silver will not even last three months.

"Little stove, needless to say, I have decided that this year's rent will be free......... I also know some of the harvest in Tianshui County, although it is not a disaster year, but it is not a harvest year, the people are very hard, no matter how hard I am, I am stronger than these people. ”

Liu Yuetian came to the front of those people as he spoke: Fellow villagers, don't worry, this year's taxes are exempted, and you can go home to live with peace of mind.

Liu Yuetian thought that these people would be very happy, but he didn't expect that the other party had no expression at all, and his expression was still so indifferent when he looked at him.

"Hmph, you are the county king of the Great Zhou, how can you know the suffering of our people? If you want us to get better, you better go back quickly! ”

The old man at the head directly reprimanded him face to face.

"Yes, it is your group of corrupt officials who make the world suffer, you better go back quickly, we don't need any county kings here!"

Someone in the back also chimed in.

"A bunch of poor ghosts dare to reprimand the county king! It's the other way around! It's the other way around! You people are really going to rebel, Zhang Xingsan, what are you still standing stupidly for? Take these guys down for me right now! ”

The little stove is really angry, and it is unheard of for a group of people who can't even eat enough to dare to reprimand the county king.

When Zhang Xingsan and the others heard this, they rushed forward to take down the other party.

"Stop!"

Liu Yuetian yelled again.

"This old man, what you are teaching is ......... You are the people of the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou has the obligation to protect you and let you live a good life, and as the prince of the Great Zhou, you naturally have the responsibility to suffer, so here, I apologize to you. ”

Liu Yuetian said goodbye and bowed deeply to everyone.

The other party didn't expect this move, one by one, you look at me, I look at you at a loss.

"Don't worry, I, Liu Yuetian, announce another order here, Xiaolu, you listen, starting next year, we will only collect one percent of the taxes of these thousand households, everyone......... What do you think of this idea? ”

"What? Are you right? ”

But those residents were shocked and paid 10% of the tax? This is unheard of!

Even Shi Le, who was on the side, also moved when he heard it.

"Your Royal Highness, taxation is a law formulated by the Great Zhou, and it is not in accordance with the rules for you to do this, I'm afraid it's just talking."

Shi Le stared at Liu Yuetian and said slowly.

"This is my fiefdom, and their thousands of tenant farmers are already legally my property, and I say that I will receive as much as I want......... Xiaolu, you and Brother Zhang immediately set out to collect the land deeds of these thousand residents, and then we will sign the agreement again, and when this agreement is signed, you will be relieved. ”

"Well, if that's the case, then I, Shile, will be the first to raise my hand to welcome ......... You guys, don't thank His Royal Highness the county king yet. ”

"This .........!"

These poor people couldn't react a little, they didn't expect the other party to be exempted from so many taxes at once, you must know that before, they had to pay fifty percent of their annual income to Liu Yuan, and often paid the annual taxes in seven or eight months.

Tianshui City is a frontier city, the residents are all military households except for tenant farmers, the so-called military households refer to wartime wars, peacetime grain planting, tax is also composed of two parts, one is to hand over grain; The second is to pay taxes for military service.

Now the people of Tianshui County seem to be calm, but in fact it has reached the limit, most of the young and middle-aged people in the family have been forcibly recruited into the army, Tianshui County has a population of more than 300,000, there are more than 30,000 soldiers alone, and almost every household has young people serving in the army.

It stands to reason that someone in the family who serves in the army will replace a part of the tax, and the grain will be less, but the increase in the military means that the military expenditure will be greatly increased, and the money and grain can only be produced by the people, but farming needs people, especially those young and middle-aged people, most of them have gone to serve as soldiers, no one grows grain, and the harvest has naturally been affected. As for what items to buy, it was almost impossible, which is why these people would be so hostile to Liu Yuetian and them.

Now that these people listened to Liu Yuetian's promise, they immediately cheered.

The common people are like this, whoever can make them have enough to eat will support whomever they want.

"The prestige of the host is increased a little, and you will get a thousand merit points .........."

The system sent out a prompt, and the original Liu Yuetian's character attribute prestige column was zero, but now it has become one.

"Shile's loyalty to the host is increased by ten points, and he gets five hundred merit points."

The system then prompts again.

"Got another 1,500 merit points?"

Liu Yuetian was happy in his heart.

Those poor people soon dispersed, and they all went home to find their land deeds, and Shi Le jumped down from his horse and came to Liu Yuetian: Your Royal Highness, Shi Le thank you for these people.

After Shi Le finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Liu Yuetian.

"This Shi Le's attitude towards the people seems to be somewhat different from that Liu Yuan, it seems that there is no monolith between him and Liu Yuan!"

Judging from the attitude towards these poor people just now, Shi Le is obviously very sympathetic to the other party, and this person's personal attributes are no worse than that Liu Yuan, and the system's evaluation of him is also very high, how can such a person be a general under Liu Yuan with peace of mind?

"Use Insight effects."

Liu Yuetian watched Shi Le use the Insight special effect.

"I see!"

In an instant, everything the other party thought was known to Liu Yuetian.

This Shile is different from Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan's family has been an official for generations, and never puts the suffering of the people in the first place, and Shile is just the opposite, his great-grandfather was originally from Tibet, and became a slave of the previous Tianshui Marquis in a war, the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates that the descendants of slaves are still slaves, unless you make a meritorious contribution to cancel this cheap status, so until Shi Le's father's time, their family was still a slave, and they lived a life of cattle and horses every day.

When Shi Le was a teenager, there was a big battle between Tianshui County and Tibet, Shi Le took the opportunity to join the army and became a lowest-level soldier.

Therefore, Schler knows more about the bottom than anyone else, and knows the hardships of the lives of the poor people.

Not only Shi Le's experience, but also Liu Yuetian also got from the other party's consciousness that this person has great ambitions, which is definitely not something that Liu Yuan can surrender, and now he is only in the dormant period, and once the time is ripe, he will do something big.

"I see.........

Liu Yuetian said secretly.
