"Zhang Ke, as the deputy village head, you speak first."

Zhang Ke took a step forward and arched his hand: "The subordinates are incompetent, and the source of the rumors has not been ascertained and cannot be solved." At present, we can only try to reassure the people and prevent the occurrence of civil unrest. ”

Think about it, too, the deputy village chief can act as the village chief in his absence. If Zhang Ke had a solution, he would not delay until Jiang Qiu came back.

Waving his hand to signal Zhang Ke to retreat, Jiang Qiu turned his gaze to Xu Qiu again: "Does Old Xu have a good plan?" ”

Jiang Qiu actually didn't have much expectation for Xu Qiu, after all, he was a character who hadn't even opened his strategic attributes. Asking questions means meaning, showing respect, and the bad guy is also the former deputy village chief.

Xu Qiu heard Jiang Qiu's roll call, and walked out of the crowd on crutches: "This is obviously someone deliberately spreading rumors against Shuitian Village, and the old man has no good way to clear the rumors." ”

Jiang Qiu nodded, and just wanted to signal the old man to step back, but Xu Qiu continued: "But the rumors themselves have no damage to Shuitian Village, and the fundamental reason for this turmoil in the hearts of the people is the low morale of the people. Therefore, the top priority at present is to raise the people's morale, and as long as the people's morale is stable, there is nothing to fear rumors. ”

Eda's heart moved, and he realized that he had made a big mistake.

When he first entered the game, Jiang Qiu thought that Xu Qiu was a so-called novice instructor and obeyed his words. But since discovering that the population can be obtained from the wild, Jiang Qiu, who feels that he has been pitted, has not paid much attention to this old man. Looking back now, if it weren't for the advanced county town and Wang Tao's support in gold grain, how could the little money from the jungle be enough to support the development of the territory.

Obviously, this old man is indeed equipped with the system to answer all kinds of basic questions for novice lords. Otherwise, how could he, an old farmer who had never been out of the village a few times in his life, know so many things. There are some things that even Zhang Ke, who has traveled out and turned on strategic attributes, doesn't this be too unscientific in a game that assigns AI according to attributes?

Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. Jiang Qiu hurriedly asked with a smile on his face: "Then how does Elder Xu think to improve the people's morale?" ”

This is exactly the question that has plagued Jiang Qiu for a long time, and now he is taking the opportunity to ask it.

Sure enough, the old man stroked his beard and replied, "As the saying goes, the people take food as their heavens. Only land can give farmers a sense of belonging, otherwise they are all rootless wanderers, and there is no talk of people's hearts. There are a lot of barren fields in our paddy field village, so it is better to take them out and distribute them to the people, and reclaim more wasteland, so that the cultivators have their own fields, and the people's hearts will naturally be stable. ”

Jiang Qiu's whole person is not good, which old bastard told me at the beginning of Temeow that he didn't care about the fields first, and went all out to build houses to increase the population? But under the eaves, what else could Jiang Qiu do, he had to pretend to be humble and teachable, and nodded yes. Otherwise, the old bastard said this time and that time, and threw a contemptuous look at him by the way, Jiang Qiu felt that his little heart couldn't stand this stimulation.

The old man was very satisfied with Jiang Qiu's attitude, and continued: "But this is a way to cure the root cause and not the symptoms, and the effect is very slow. At this time, people's minds have changed, and it is not good for Shuitian Village to drag on for a long time. ”

Jiang Qiu cooperated with the old man's performance very doggedly, and asked, "Then according to Old Xu's opinion, how to treat the symptoms now?" ”

Xu Qiu said with a smile: "How can the people's hearts be won overnight? As a lord, you should also walk among the villagers and understand the needs of the people before you can prescribe the right medicine. ”

The old man's words were a bit twisted, but Jiang Qiu now had some understanding of the speaking patterns of these NPCs, and it was not difficult to understand. The translation of these words is roughly that you, as a grassroots cadre, should not stay in the office all day long, drink tea and read newspapers, but go to the masses to express condolences, and by the way, take more tasks issued by the people, and mingle with the masses, so as to raise the people's morale.

However, the method is good, but unfortunately it is useless. I know with my toes that the tasks issued by the villagers are naturally not too difficult, and it is impossible to do a few to raise the hearts of the people, and it is good to add a little bit to ten or eight tasks, which is a slow work of a water mill. Jiang Qiu's eyebrows are burning now, how can he have time to grind this foreign worker.

Jiang Qiu was helpless, so he had to continue to pretend to be his grandson: "What Old Xu taught him a lesson." But now that the situation is urgent, I'm afraid I don't have time to wait for me to slowly understand, is there a faster way? ”

Xu Qiu glared at Jiang Qiu dissatisfied: "It's so ambitious, in a hurry!" There are also faster methods, such as sacrifices, feasts, tax cuts, festivals, harvests, etc., all have immediate effects. Among them, sacrifices and banquets cost a lot of money, and they require a certain name. The village chief's luck is good, Jiang Tian won the first place in the Mengxue test is just a good reason for the banquet, I wonder if the village chief is willing? ”

"Congratulations to the player God for his death, triggering the event 'Feast Guest', do you accept it?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Jiang Qiu heard the sound of the system being raised in his ears.

If Jiang Qiu has anything else to say, accept it directly.

"Feast guests: special events, spend a lot of money and food to feast on the surrounding residents. It can effectively increase the prestige and popularity of the territory, can attract a large number of displaced people and talents, and has a very small chance of attracting historical figures. The higher the level of the chef, the better the feast. Need: 500 gold, 1000 food. ”

"Then Elder Xu, this banquet will be handed over to you."

For this kind of banquet, the higher the prestige of the person who gathers it, the better. Although Zhang Ke is the deputy head of the village, when it comes to the popularity around Shuitian Village, he is naturally not as good as Xu Qiu, who has lived here all his life, and Jiang Qiu still pays attention to this kind of small details.

Xu Qiu naturally took over the errand happily and said, "The banquet needs to be prepared, and it will be held in three days." ”

"You can take care of this Xu Lao yourself, and you can discuss it with the deputy village chief if necessary." Jiang Qiu directly threw the trouble to Zhang Ke, that's how the deputy village chief used it, otherwise he would have to deal with all the trivial things by himself, should he go offline?

Now that the matter has been resolved, Jiang Qiu was just about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, when he saw another old man walking out on crutches: "The village chief is slow, the old man still has something to say." ”

It's Cheng Li's folded face, and he is a guy who is not treated well by Jiang Qiu, so it is said that the old man in the village likes Jiang Qiu for everyone.

"What else is wrong with Cheng Lao?"

"I heard that some of the rumors were about recruitment, which made people panic, and the students were not interested in their studies. Although the rumors are nonsense, the so-called improper name is not good, and it is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to make trouble. At this time, the barracks have been completed, and how to recruit soldiers is expected to be made clear by the village chief, which can also stabilize people's hearts. ”

Jiang Qiu still had some truth when he heard this, and asked Zhang Ke: "What is the population of the village now?" ”

Anyway, there is Zhang Ke's living dictionary, and Jiang Qiu is too lazy to reprint the letter. With the development of the territory, the information of the seal letter is also more and more numerous, and sometimes you can't find something for half a day.
