Chapter 129: Convincing the People

As soon as the notice of distributing grain and rice was posted, it really caused a commotion in Yuezhou City, Zhang Jian had a heart hanging in his throat from early in the morning, and the young and ignorant horse master took things for granted, he didn't suffer this temporary assassination history, and came to the back hall of the assassin history yamen early in the morning to ask, but was told by Yanglin's guards that those people who were not satisfied, let them gather in the open space outside the city, and it was best for those who surrendered to see the water bandits, and it was also convenient for him to solve the problem of the future survival of these people at one time.

The amplification equipment of the art troupe is ready-made, Yanglin got up early in the morning and played two hours of Taijiquan before coming to the outside of the city, at this time the scene was extremely chaotic, two overlapping square tables, Zhang Jian's official robe and forehead did not know how many eggs he had suffered, the people of Yuezhou City took him for granted as a faint official, when the court did not come to Yuezhou to suppress bandits, the life of the people of Yuezhou City was actually counted, although they were poor, at least they could mix two meals to eat and wear, as soon as the army of the imperial court came, the noisy water bandits hit the state city, Many people were displaced, and even tragically poisoned, the life of the people of Yuezhou suddenly became sad, at this time, the new assassin Shi actually cut off the relief food of the people, which made the people of Yuezhou City, who had not come out of the hatred and panic, how to accept it, no matter how Zhang Jian explained, the egg and vegetable leaves still kept flying into the air, fortunately, the horse guards in full armor set up a small circle with the square table as the center of the circle, otherwise Zhang Jian would have been torn apart by these people.

"Order, fire." This kind of chaos cannot be explained clearly by words, and it is much more fierce than the demonstrations on the news in later generations, and Yang Lin decisively gave the order.

The scorpion's body as light as a swallow flew out of Sanzhang Yuan with a kick, and its toes gently stepped on the top of the heads of the onlookers, and flew on the square table in the center of the circle in three or two clicks.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The sound of more than 200 muskets roaring at the same time instantly made the people close their mouths in fright, and only the sound of breathing could be heard quietly. Yang Lin felt that this was the right time for him to appear, and he followed the example of a scorpion and somersaulted forward in the air, and jumped up two meters high, and the landing point under his feet was the top of a people's head, or a bald head.

"Oops, help me."

As soon as Yang Lin stepped down, he knew that it was not good, the light skill of stepping on people's heads and running wildly was not something he could perform now, he stepped on it with too much force, and the bald people's head was directly tilted to the side by him, and he also slipped along the way. Fortunately, Zhao Yifa and Meng Yi beside him were both masters, and they quickly jumped out when they found that something was wrong, one caught him below, and one jumped directly on the shoulders of the onlookers, and caught the Yanglin who was thrown up below in mid-air, and ran towards the square table in the center of the circle, and when the dizzy Yanglin in front of him was taken to the square table by Zhao Yifa, Zhang Jian had already jumped off the table by the scorpion on the shoulder, and a big horn was sent to Yanglin by the guards.

"You still have extra eggs and leaves to smash people. It seems that you are not as poor as Zhang Tingshi said! I am God's gift to the horse Yanglin, is the imperial court sent Yuezhou Qincha, Yuezhou from the time of the arrival of the horse all obey my orders, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion. Rebels, shoot and kill. Yang Lin raised a loudspeaker and shouted loudly with the help of the musket's deterrence of the people, and sure enough, the people were much more honest. There are no more people who throw things and smash people, there are no more people who make loud noises, and the burning sticks in the hands of those officers and soldiers with armor like iron towers can actually explode. The people of Yuezhou, who had never seen such a scene, were a little dazed and frightened at this time.

"The imperial court is seeking prosperity for all eternity, not food and clothing for a short time, haven't you seen the declining Yueyanglou Tavern? Seeing the big from the small, if Yuezhou does not suppress the bandits, it is inevitable that the gradual decline will continue, the imperial court thinks about the policy of enriching the people and strengthening the country, and it is inevitable to eliminate the bandits, as for stopping the distribution of relief food for the people, it is my order, the reason for this I can now tell you, of course, if you don't want to listen to it, you can get enough grain and rice for a month now, and if you regret it in the future, and then ask the court, don't blame the court for ignoring you. ”

After Yang Lin finished speaking, the small voices of the people sounded again, the name of the Heavenly Horse is not a household name in the Tang Dynasty, and even Li Er, who has just ascended the throne, has a very low recognition in the eyes of the people of Yuezhou.

After waiting for half an hour, Yanglin didn't see the people come out to ask for food, and they didn't see the people leave, so they wanted to listen to what they said, cleared their throats and sorted out their thoughts, and raised the loudspeaker again: "You should have heard that there was a great drought in the land of Guanzhong last year, millions of fertile fields were not harvested, and more than two million victims gathered under the city of Chang'an, but when the Turks invaded south, 100,000 iron cavalry Linweishui, less than 100 miles away from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the situation in Chang'an at that time was ten times worse than that of Yuezhou, As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty has eaten boiled taro in white water for three months in a row, and the disaster is not only this, this spring there was a flood in Guanzhong, followed by a large-scale locust plague, the entire Guanzhong Plain can now be said to be a thousand miles of red land, but in this more than a year, there has been almost no starvation to death in Chang'an City, do you know why? ”

Yanglin's rhetorical question did not expect the people of Yuezhou City to answer, but only left a suspense to make the people want to know why, so as to enter a kind of listening, trying to understand, this is also the usual means used by later orators, after a pause, he said: "Because the people have accepted the arrangement of the imperial court and began to work together to resist these successive disasters, outside Chang'an City, where two million victims were affected, His Majesty the Emperor decisively issued an order to stop the distribution of disaster relief food, not that His Majesty did not care about the lives of the people. He wants to sit on the throne, and even cares about the life and death of the people more than the people themselves, and the purpose of stopping the distribution of disaster relief food is just to facilitate the management of the disaster victims, if you don't work, you won't have anything to eat, this is the fairest truth, and the result after doing so I am afraid you can't imagine, the people of Guanzhong, who have suffered so many disasters in a row, are now not only not starving to death, but living a more prosperous life, he opened the Yangjiang Canal that connects the eight rivers of Chang'an, and they built their own red brick and blue tile houses, This kind of brick house is ten times stronger than those houses with yellow paper, and they still have their own stable job, as long as there is one person in a family working, at least they can ensure that the family does not have to worry about eating and drinking, and they even have surplus wealth to enjoy the fresh goods created by themselves, presumably the rich people of Yuezhou City have seen those things in advance, and now, the imperial court is here to help the people of Yuezhou City also live such a rich life, there are more abundant products than Chang'an, and a more beautiful environment, I believe that as long as you develop according to the plan of the imperial court, in two or three years, you will be richer than the people outside Chang'an, and you will no longer have to worry about the unstable factor of the scourge of water bandits, are you willing to do it? ”

Yang Lin's words echoed in the sky above the onlookers, and I didn't know that it was the loud voice in the crowd who shouted yes, and many people began to echo, followed by the shouting of the mountains and the tsunami, Yang Lin had to order his own soldiers to fire another round of muskets to stop the sound.

"In fact, the problem of Yuezhou City is not complicated in my opinion, we are here by the mountains and rivers, don't worry about not finding food, the war destroyed the homeland, let's rebuild, you see those young people in the prisoner of war concentration camp, they will be free laborers to build a new Yuezhou, don't be afraid to sue you, the imperial court will only provide them with one meal a day from today, if you want to earn two meals, you must work, you are treated ten times better than them, only need one young and strong laborer per household, You can receive ten catties of grain and rice from the imperial court every day, and families with a large population can have more people, more people, and after the construction of Xinyuezhou City is completed, you can also get a brick house ten times more beautiful and solid than the original according to the number of households in the population, and this kind of house has been built hundreds of thousands of rooms outside Chang'an City, and no one likes it.

Don't doubt what I said, as long as you work and contribute according to the requirements of the imperial court, I guarantee that you can get what I say in my royal capacity, and in the next three days, you can each go home to discuss how many laborers you can produce at home, and what kind of work the laborers will do, and report to the Yamen of the Assassin Shi after you think about it, and the first person to sign up can be the first to get the quota of the occupation he wants to do, and he may also be appointed as a foreman, and get more generous treatment than I just said, the last one, the so-called young and strong, men and women are not limited, As in Chang'ancheng, female workers enjoyed the same treatment as male workers, and as long as they were found to be competent for a certain amount of labor intensity, they could receive grain and rice from the imperial court. ”

After this round of talking, the crowd completely exploded, ten catties of rice a day is enough for a family of five to eat dry rice for two days, the most terrible thing is that there are no restrictions on men and women, there are more women in the Tang Dynasty and fewer men, who has a few women! If you send them all, you may be able to get dozens of catties of rice in a day! This is much more cost-effective than farming, and the old and young of Yuezhou City instantly began to run to tell each other, leaving only the lonely Yang Lin and his escort team to watch the scenery on the high platform stacked with two square tables.

"Zhang Tingshi, if you don't hurry up and call all the public officials in Yuezhou City to return to the office, in three days, the identity information of all the people in Yuezhou City will be newly entered, and three days later, the construction of Yuezhou New City will start." Yang Lin jumped down from the square table more than two meters high, his posture was much more elegant than when he fell before, the people in the water bandit captive camp may be better than the people of Yuezhou to negotiate the conditions, there is a tempting reward and punishment mechanism, I don't believe that they will not give in, negotiate with them, and then it should be the question of the location of the new Yuezhou City, three days, a little tight.

"Lu Bingchang took people out early in the morning, what is the reward now?" Looking at a team of guards who walked over in paper armor and brushes, he asked.

"Master, Shopkeeper Lu only said four words in the morning, 'regret not at the beginning'." The guard who took the lead arched his hand.

"What's that saying?" Yang Lin raised his eyebrows and asked, the corners of his mouth curled randomly, and a smile appeared on his face. (To be continued......)
