Chapter 1308: This is also our home
Except for Ye Bin, no one knows the secret of the viewing platform, so everyone naturally can't understand where Ye Bin's self-confidence comes from.
"My lord, this ...... Not so good! ”
Guan Hai hesitated, Rao is usually very nervous, and at this time he also understood one thing, the feeling of being cheated on money was absolutely unpleasant, which aroused the anger of the people, and people didn't care if you were the lord......
"Hmm!"
Man Chong didn't hesitate, don't look at him all this time and have been working against Ye Bin, but something really happened, but he stood up without hesitation:
"Don't worry, lord, let the pet go out and have a look first!"
Except for Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai, who were heartless and smiling, everyone else nodded in agreement.
The prestige of this great Si Nong is extremely high in Shennong Valley, and in the hearts of ordinary people, his status is second only to Ye Bin, and it is a good thing for him to come forward to resolve this crisis.
"We'll go with Dasi Nong to take a look."
"Okay, my lord, wait a minute, let's go and see first!"
During this time, Ye Bin borrowed money everywhere, but it didn't really affect everyone's feelings, and the painful look was just a pretend.
Everyone knows that although his father-in-law loves money, he is also very generous to his own people, and when he is in a good mood, he will let Man Pet give everyone a salary increase and benefits, otherwise, if there is no corruption, who can come up with hundreds of thousands or even millions of money to support Shennong Valley?
"Haha!"
Ye Bin laughed: "If this king doesn't even dare to see his own people, then what does this prince mean?" ”
He strode out without hesitation: "No need to say more! ”
Seeing that Ye Bin even said this kind of thing, although everyone had the intention to dissuade them, they didn't dare to speak again, and they all didn't look good-looking, and they ordered their subordinates to quickly send someone to call the Shennong Army over, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"We want to see the prince!"
"Ask the king to appreciate his face at night and come out to see him!"
Outside the palace that has just been built, there is a lot of noise, and the palace guards are a little confused, if they treat the enemy, they will naturally draw their knives without hesitation, but this is their own people!
Who would dare to do it rashly?
Just when people's voices were getting louder and louder, Ye Bin finally stepped out of the palace, and at that moment, the shouts disappeared, the noise was gone, and in their eyes, only the prince who stepped on straw shoes was left!
"This king is here!"
Ye Bin's expression did not change, he had long known that these people had no hostility towards him, but the group of civil servants and military generals behind him felt a little incredible.
Except for those who followed Ye Bin at the beginning, the rest of the people didn't expect that this prince who loves money as much as his life would have such a great prestige in Shennong Valley!
Many courtiers who were not loyal enough, at this time, couldn't help but put away their careful thoughts.
After Ye Hao, who had just arrived, saw this scene, he admired it in his heart, but also sighed a little, and he always felt a little strange in his heart when he had more contact with his father.
As the king of Shennong, his father doesn't do anything serious every day, running around, and in his spare time, he also travels with his eldest mother and others, which is simply ...... It's outrageous to be lazy.
But how did such a person do it when he could have such prestige?
"What grievances do you have?"
Ye Bin's expression was solemn, it would never be a trivial matter to be able to get millions of Shennong people to come together, could it be that during this time, someone in Shennong Valley was greedy for the people's money?
Or are you being bewitched by someone again?
"No ......"
"Lord Wang, you misunderstood, we are doing well!"
"Lord Wang, don't say that, Shennong Valley is different from other places, there are not so many gentry and landlords, although there are disputes, but I don't feel any grievances."
The people spoke one after another, and the scene became chaotic again, Ye Bin looked at them a little strangely, his hands were pressed weakly, and when the silence was restored again, he hesitated and said:
"Is that because everyone is dissatisfied with the recent over-conscription?"
The people suddenly exploded.
"Lord Wang, my little cub has always wanted to join the army, but you said that there must be young people at home to take care of it, so there is no way to join the army, how can there be any dissatisfaction?"
"Oh, beg the prince to be gracious, the concubine is the one in the family who is not angry, he is idle all day long, and the concubine hopes that he can join the Shennong Army and have more experience."
"Lord Wang, I actually want to join the army this time......"
Ye Bin was a little speechless, not because he was wronged, nor because he sued because of frequent conscriptions, so why?
"Ahem......"
An old man finally stood up, he seemed to be very prestigious, and hammered the ground with a cane: "Everyone be quiet, quiet, didn't we discuss it before we came, and I will negotiate with the prince on behalf of everyone." ”
The noise gradually faded away, and everyone seemed to really recognize the old man, waiting for him and Ye Bin's 'negotiation'.
"Negotiations?"
Ye Bin smiled: "The old man is Wang Dagou's grandfather?" ”
"I didn't expect the prince to remember the old man!"
The old man suddenly became happy, but he seemed to remember something again, his cheeks were solemn, and he said with some vigilance: "Don't confuse me, I am here to negotiate." ”
"Ahem......"
Ye Bin coughed dryly: "What's the matter then?" ”
"Well, on behalf of the Shennong people, my old man is not satisfied with a system set by the prince!"
"Yes, we are not convinced!"
"Ask the prince to change the system!"
"Hmph, it can't go on like this!"
Ye Bin was stunned, most of this system was discussed by him, full of favors, and Jia Xu, each of which was carefully considered to ensure that there was no problem, and then Shennong Valley would be announced, could it be that any of them touched everyone's interests? ”
"Don't worry, old man, let's talk about it first, which system is it!"
The old man wiped his sweat, he was so old, it was not easy to stand there, Ye Bin glanced at his subordinates, and suddenly walked over with a Taishi chair, and asked the old man to sit down, Ye Bin also found a chair to sit down in order to make the old man feel at ease.
Under the leadership of Ye Bin, Shennong Valley has long abandoned the custom of kneeling and sitting, and in the past five years, everyone has built tables and chairs, and they have been proud of it.
"Thank you for the chair!"
The old man was a little moved by Ye Bin's approach, but he still gritted his teeth and looked expressionless: "If the old man remembers correctly, Article 132 of the Shennong Law has a cloud: You can't raise money and materials worth more than one hundred gold coins from any department in Shennong Valley in the name of an individual or a group, and those who violate it will be hit with thirty boards, can there be this rule?" ”
Ye Bin nodded slowly, this rule is mainly to prevent collusion between officials and businessmen, although this is a bit tough, but now in troubled times, it is possible to use heavy canons, as long as you wait until the time of peace, and then change the law, you can do it.
"Not bad!"
Seeing Ye Bin admit it calmly, the old man suddenly became angry, and for a while he forgot that he was facing King Shennong, their lord:
"This one is unreasonable, very unreasonable!"
"What's wrong?"
Ye Bin is a little strange, although he is a little overbearing, but it is not forbidden to give small gifts, if you want to express gratitude to some departments, you can send pennants and the like, Wanmin umbrellas and other things.
The most important thing is that this article really restricts those officials who want to eat and take cards, which is obviously a good thing for the people.
"It doesn't make sense anywhere!"
The old man's eyes widened: "My old man's family is not rich, but over the years, under the gift of King Shennong and Dasi Nong, taxes have been reduced and reduced, and there is also a little property in his hand...... What makes sense of this? ”
"What?"
Ye Bin's eyes widened: "You want to send me money?" ”
"That's right!"
The old man said confidently: "I am not convinced, I can represent millions or even more Shennong people, everyone is not convinced!" ”
"I'm sorry!"
The feelings of the crowd became excited again, and Ye Bin said with some tears and laughter: "Why do you want to donate money to me?" ”
The old man was speechless: "Lord Wang, look at the place outside Shennong Valley, how can you do this?" ”
He said excitedly: "You don't want land rent, I will only be grateful for your kindness, but you don't even have poll tax, conscription, or military service, what kind of system is this?" ”
Ye Bin was dumbfounded, where and where is this?
Although he made detailed statistics on the population of Shennong Valley, he did not levy a poll tax, and one of the important reasons for this is that he hopes that Shennong Valley will be different, and he will not let go of Jingzhou anyway.
And not to mention the conscription, in Ye Bin's thinking, how can there be anyone who doesn't give money to let people work?
He felt that military service had an impact on combat effectiveness, and he felt that anyway, the treatment given to the soldiers in Shennong Valley was high enough, and there was no need for compulsory conscription at all, and there was no need to make such a system to make people unhappy.
Aren't these actions bad?
For Mao so many people opposed?
"You don't want any of this, that's it!"
The old man's angry appearance suddenly eased, and the whole person actually cried: "But ...... Why don't you want money, we want to donate money! ”
Ye Bin's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and the old man's last sentence directly hit his heart, almost making him lose his temper in front of others.
"Shennong Valley is your home, and it is also my home, you can't help but let me donate some money for this family."
The more the old man cried, the more fierce he became: "I know, the prince has been under a lot of pressure recently, you see how your shoes are broken, you borrow money everywhere, but why don't you want our money, I beg you, I beg you!" ”
With a plop, the old man fell to his knees, Ye Bin's eyes were red, his mouth moved, and he seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
It's not that he doesn't have money for shoes, but during this time, in order to set an example for the officials of Shennong Valley, he was not really poor to this point, but he didn't expect that this scene would be firmly remembered by this old man......
"Ask the prince to lift the ban, they want to beat us, we don't know what to do, so we can only help the prince donate money, the prince ...... I don't know anything, but I remember that my father said that as long as Shennong Valley is still there, we will always be safe, I ...... I don't want my home to be gone. ”
"The concubine has little knowledge, although the family has money, but she doesn't know what to do, Lord Wang, you can't do it!"
"Lord Wang, lift the ban!"
Looking at the black pressure on a kneeling crowd, a line of tears, I couldn't bear it anymore!
This is Shennong people!
This is the people of this age!
As long as you are kind to him, he will remember it for the rest of his life!
