When they entered the room, the woman had already arranged her clothes.

Chao Yong sat down, pointed to the stool next to him, and said with a smile: "Sit down, let's talk while eating and drinking." ”

Ding San hurriedly said: "How can the villain deserve to sit with the prince, the villain is standing." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Okay, sit down, just like in Liangshan, you can sit and eat together when you are free." ”

Ding San also remembered the matter of Liangshan, and many leaders would eat and drink with the soldiers during their vacations, so they also sat down.

The woman also hurried to bring the dishes and chopsticks.

Chao Yong picked up the flask and poured it for Ding San.

Ding San hurriedly said: "The villain can't afford it, I'll do it myself." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Chao Yong smiled and filled a bowl for each of them, picked it up, and said, "I salute you with a bowl." ”

Ding San was flattered and said, "I also respect the prince." ”

The two drank it all.

Chao Yong put down the wine bowl and said, "How is it, can you do it here?" ”

Ding San hurriedly said: "Daliang's Lizheng is the easiest, the imperial court has exempted agricultural taxes and all forced labor, and the villain usually decides some small disputes in the village, and he can still deal with it." Moreover, the people in the village knew that the villain was a veteran of Liangshan, and they all respected the villain, and no one deliberately made trouble. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Okay, that's good." Did you get the field given to the wounded sergeant by the imperial court? ”

Ding San said happily: "I have been distributed, the title deeds have been given to me, and according to my disability level, there are twenty acres of good good land." After the people in the village saw that I had received the money and land, many young students went to the county to sign up for the army. ”

After Liangshan conquered various places, he killed many corrupt officials and gentry, confiscated a lot of fields, and added the fields expanded by the Song Dynasty. It can be said that the largest landlord in Daliang is the Daliang court, Wu Yong and others advocated that the land be distributed to the people, but Chao Yong suggested that it should be distributed to the disabled Daliang soldiers as part of the pension, so as to ensure that they would have no worries about their life in the future.

Under Chao Yong's strong advocacy, plus Wu Yong and others distributed it to the people, they couldn't come up with a specific way, and if they wanted to distribute the land fairly to all the people, it was not Wu Yong who could come up with a way at once. In the end, Chao Gai agreed to Chao Yong's proposition.

Chao Yong's original intention was to let the soldiers have no worries and burst out with stronger combat effectiveness. Lest the last hero shed blood and tears, but he didn't expect it to cause a military style, changing the habit of being ashamed of being a soldier in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Han people slowly began to be martial.

In order to prevent the sergeants from escaping, the Northern Song Dynasty had to tattoo the characters when they joined the army, which was undoubtedly an insult to people with backbone. Therefore, there was a proverb at that time that said: "A good iron does not hit a nail, and a good son does not serve as a soldier".

Chao Yong was also very happy to hear that many people went to serve as soldiers. After the capture of Tokyo, what was lacking was soldiers and horses, and although the new soldiers could not go into battle to kill the enemy, they could help the veterans to garrison the city.

"It's time to sow seeds, right? Is there a borrowed seed in the county? ”

"Sow, the villain hired two tenants, and planted them all. The county borrowed seeds, but the villain had a pension, and he didn't dare to trouble the court anymore, so he bought the seeds and sowed them. ”

Chao Yong patted Ding San on the shoulder and said, "It is worthy of the old brother of Liangshan, do the tenants in the village have any complaints about not getting the land?" ”

Ding San said: "No, they didn't have a field in the first place, and they didn't contribute to my beam, so why should they get the field." The imperial court has increased the share of tenants, which is much better than that of the Song Dynasty, and the people in the village are simple, which is already a benefit for nothing, so how can there be any complaints. If they dare to talk about the bad things about my girders, I won't be able to spare them. But those who want to divide the land have gone to become soldiers. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "I am going to be reasonable, don't talk with your fists at every turn." Although you no longer have to be subject to military discipline after you retire, you must be subject to the laws of the imperial court, and you will still be punished if you beat someone. ”

Ding San hurriedly said: "What the prince taught is that the villain must not embarrass the old brother of Liangshan. ”

Chao Yong also knew that many times in the countryside it was inevitable to talk with his fists, so he didn't dwell on this issue anymore.

Chao Yong saw that the shopkeeper and more than a dozen village men were standing in the distance, looking at him in awe, and couldn't help laughing: "It's a big night, you all sit down, I invite you to eat and drink." ”

Those villagers looked at Chao Yong, but they all cowered there and didn't dare to move.

Ding San saw that Chao Yong still had no frame like the previous leader of Liangshan, and his courage also increased, and said, "You all sit down." ”

The villagers saw that they were talking, so they sat down.

Chao Yong said to the woman: "If there is anything ready-made, get it, and go back and count the silver for you together." ”

The woman heard Chao Yong say this, and knew that Chao Yong would not take her away, so she glanced at Chao Yong with resentment, and then turned around and went to the back kitchen.

The shopkeeper ran to drink to everyone.

Soon, the villagers also began to drink.

Chao Yong also brought a bowl of wine over and said, "I salute you with a bowl." ”

When a group of village men saw Chao Yong coming, they immediately stood up in a panic, took over a few benches, and the table was also smashed.

These village Han are all the people of the village, and the county orders are all Qingtian lords in their opinion, and the emperor and the prince are the legendary dragon sons and grandsons, which can be accessed by the people of the countryside, let alone toast.

Chao Yong saw that these villagers were flushed with red faces, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'll do it first as respect." ”

The villagers saw that Chao Yong drank it first, and hurriedly poured it up one by one.

"Ahem"

"Ahem"

"Ahem"

A few villagers didn't know whether they were in a hurry or excited, and they coughed when they drank a bowl of wine.

Chao Yong smiled: "Okay, everyone sit." ”

Everyone sat down and looked at Chao Yong standing there, feeling even more uncomfortable, as if they were really being targeted by the real dragon, and they cowered.

Seeing this, Chao Yong had no choice but to pull a bench over and sit down, and said with a smile: "What do you think the court has not done enough, or how can the court help you?" I listened to it and went back to discuss it with them to improve. ”

But the crowd looked at me, and I looked at him, but they didn't dare to speak.

Chao Yong had no choice but to point to a man in his fifties and say, "Big brother, tell me?" ”

When the village man saw that the prince pointed at him, he immediately stood up in a panic.

Chao Yong smiled: "Sit down, just sit down and talk." ”

Ding San also walked over, pressed the village Han and said: "Boss Ding, if you have any ideas, just say it, if you say it, maybe the prince will have a reward?" ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Yes, there must be a reward if you say it." ”

The man twisted his body, and then said with a red face: "I have been planting all my life, and I don't know anything." Daliang does not collect agricultural taxes, and does not levy forced labor, I have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never heard of such a thing. King Liang is really a living Bodhisattva, I just want King Liang to live 10,000 years, and my children and grandchildren can live a good life. ”

As he spoke, he saw Chao Yong again, and hurriedly said: "The prince can live for a long time, and he will be able to protect my children and grandchildren." ”

Chao Yong asked a few more villagers, but these people had been guarding the fields for generations, and the court had exempted them from all their harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they couldn't say what else they could do for them.

Chao Yong chatted casually with everyone for a while, and then said: "It's late at night, I have to hurry tomorrow morning, everyone go back." ”

Ding San said: "The prince didn't bring a guard, and the villain kept vigil for you." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "No need, I sleep lightly, I can wake up if there is any wind and grass." ”

Chao Yong refused for a while, but Ding San insisted on keeping vigil for Chao Yong, even the villagers also felt that the ancestors had accumulated virtue to be able to vigil for the prince, and they were reluctant to go back.

Chao Yong had no choice but to let them, and the woman wanted to sneak in to serve Chao Yong, but Ding San and a dozen village husbands were guarding the courtyard, and she had no chance.
