Tianhao's answer was extremely cold: "I am the team leader, and I must seek justice for those who died." ”

Zhikun struggles with madness and despair: "...... But it's not just me, it's everyone who does it! ”

"You are the most prominent and the most extreme." Tianhao's answer was so logical that it was impossible to find fault with it: "The other village leaders only pay 70 percent of the grain tax, and they have the same thoughts and demands as you, but they are not as frustrated as you. I know of previous instances where payments in excess of the normal amount were exchanged for an individual's exclusive nobility. That man succeeded, and it was he who gave you hope. But that was before, as long as I was here, in the Lei Niu Department, there would never be such a possibility in the future. ”

He bent down and looked down at the trembling Zhikun: "Ninety-five percent...... You can really do it. The lives of more than 2,700 people were exchanged for your surname. If you let a madman like you continue to live, the world will be in chaos one day. ”

After speaking, Tianhao turned around, and the crowd of onlookers consciously separated a way, and with indescribable fear and respect, silently watched the young patriarch leave.

Yan Tooth rushed over with two guards, picked up Zhikun, who was paralyzed into mud, from the ground, and dragged him out of the hall.

Returning to the throne and sitting down, seeing everyone trembling in the audience, Tianhao slapped a few times, and the majestic and loud voice resounded throughout the audience again.

"Carefully read and understand the new rules issued to you. No matter what method you use, you must memorize it, and you can't get a word wrong. ”

"The king once again reiterates the stipulation that the maximum amount of the grain tax shall not exceed 30 per cent per year. We will verify the population once a year, and compare the actual population of each village in the previous year with the number of people in the second year. If the two numbers are the same or slightly exceeded, the head of the village and the officials with more than 100 heads can be considered qualified for the job. You can consult the document for yourself with the specific terms and conditions, and I will not say more. ”

"This king would like to remind you that starting next year, the Lei Niu Department will fully implement the chief responsibility system. From the large and small administrative affairs of each village, farming, and population growth, will become the scoring criteria for quantitative assessment. Whether you understand it now or not, you will understand it in the next six months of training and learning. ”

"Population growth is at the heart of ethnic development. The king now solemnly announces: from now on, the Lei Niu Department will fully launch the "privateer system", no matter what village, depending on its own strength, it can first report to the military department directly under the king, and then carry out privateling of other non-Niu tribes. As long as you have the ability, vision, and courage, you can become the new noble. ”

"It doesn't matter what the rules used to be, it's different now. Don't tell me about other tribes, it's their business what others do. Remember, in the Thunder Bull Division, the position of leader is no longer permanent. If you do well, you can go up, and if you don't do well, you can go down. The judging criteria of this king are simple, population! Population! Or the population! ”

The fierce voice is intimidating, more ruthless than tyrannical. Tianhao swept the audience with the eyes of bedbugs: "Don't mention any power to me, and never reason with me with the previous rules." If anyone thinks that this king's new rules are too harsh to accept, just say it, and I promise to let you take off the burden on your body and return to the status of an ordinary person forever. ”

"I'm not Niu Weibang, and I have no intention of questioning the rules he has set for the management of ethnic groups. Anyway, it's all over. Ladies and gentlemen, there is not much time left for us, so we must cherish it, work hard, and recognize your identity and responsibilities. The leader doesn't ride on the common people, you have to feed them, let them have clothes to wear when it's cold, and really feel the love from the tribe, so that they feel warm. ”

"As long as there is a person, there is always a death. This is true of you, and this king is no exception. Tianhao's hands clenched slightly, and then slowly relaxed, and a resolute expression appeared on his face with almost perfect contours: "Ten years, twenty years, or more, when you are old, you can't walk, and you can only lie down and sit, are you willing to be supported by the people under your rule as saints, and countless people greet you every day, or are you willing to guard a pile of wealth that may be robbed at any time, and spend every day in fear?" ”

The audience was silent, and the entire hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground. Not only the village leaders, but also the guards and maids standing around on duty, everyone was pondering.

Guangsheng listened with excitement.

Guangtao, who was sitting next to him, clenched his fists hard, and the whole person seemed to be in a state of intense excitement, and he whispered to himself: "It's really good, it's like this." ”

A middle-aged man in the front row was full of admiration: "This is the real patriarch in my mind." ”

"Yes, I don't want to be pointed at my head with a knife when I get old, and settle old accounts with me." On the right side, a gray-haired leader wiped the cold sweat on his face with his hand, his heart palpitated, and he was also a little happy, he pulled the clothes of his companion next to him, and said in a low voice: "This trip is really not in vain, I have long thought that we can't always overpay the grain tax, but everyone does this, and I can't say anything." The first king's attitude towards this matter has always been very ambiguous, and it is not easy for us to ask too much if we are humble, but now it is okay...... In the future, I will no longer have to be scolded by the people in the village who poke my back in the back, saying that I used everyone's food to buy my surname. ”

The companion hesitated: "...... But I really want a last name! ”

"It's not easy to get a last name?" After the system is fully strengthened, Tianhao is deaf and clear-sighted, and even whispers can be heard clearly. He stood on the stage and laughed loudly: "There are many directions of effort, as long as more wasteland is reclaimed and a variety of grains are cultivated, why worry about the mothers-in-law in the village who refuse to have babies?" ”

He immediately raised his hand and pointed at the man: "Your name is Zhenguo, and you are the hunting captain of the withered vine village?" ”

Zhenguo stood up from the chair quite fearfully and saluted respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, yes." ”

He was very surprised, he could be sure that this was the first time he met the new patriarch, but he didn't expect Tianhao to be able to call his name directly, which made Zhenguo have some faint expectations.

"There are 1,300 people and 28 people in the dry vine village. This is last month's statistics. Tianhao looked down, then deflected a little, and glanced at the middle-aged man sitting next to Zhenguo: "Your name is Zu Hui, and you are the leader of the withered vine village?" ”

Zu Hui hurriedly stood up and hurriedly saluted: "Yes." ”

Tianhao's voice was very calm, and it was not high: "This king makes a bet with you, as long as you do what this king says, in five years, the population of Withered Vine Village will definitely exceed 10,000, and then you can all get a surname and become a noble." ”

This sentence was like a boulder smashed into a pool of water, and it immediately provoked countless reactions in the main hall.

"I heard you right! Five-year ...... It only takes five years to get a surname? ”

"I know a little bit about the situation in the withered vine village, how is this possible?"

"Yes, there are only more than 1,300 people in Zuhui's village, even if more than half of them are women, they are pregnant every year, they can give birth every year, and five years is not enough!"

There was a lot of discussion, and most of the participants were skeptical.

Tianhao stood motionless on the stage, he raised his head proudly, but his lowered eyes showed indifference and mockery. It's a maverick approach that doesn't take anyone into account at all. Reality is a mirror, not everyone can see themselves clearly through reflection, and not everyone can find their own flaws through the mirror. This is the accumulation of civilization and experience, he does not look down on these barbarian fellows, the biggest difference between a king and a lord is that he needs to show his ability and majesty in various ways. Killing is deterrent, and more importantly, putting on a show of results, so that they are happy and convinced.

"Mitsuju!" The young patriarch directly named the leader of Shanyuanzhai: "Your feelings should be more profound, you can talk about it." ”

The tall Guangshou hurriedly stood up, bowed to Tianhao, and then turned around and made a loud voice to everyone in the hall.

"My name is Guangshou, and I am the leader of Shanyuan Village. Some of you may have heard of my name, and some of you know me well. Let's not come to the hypocrisy, just talk straight. I only met the king the year before last, when there were only 3,000 people in Shanyuanzhai, and like you, I paid 50 percent of the grain tax, and the grain collected in the field every year was not enough to eat. ”

Someone next to him nodded in agreement: "Guangshou is right, I have been to Shanyuan Village before, and it is no different from what he said." ”

Guangshou turned to look in the direction where the voice came from, and said with a smile: "Yes! But that was in the past, and now it's different. There are now more than 7,000 people in Shanyuanzhai, as long as you work hard, you will ...... next year By the year after next at the latest, the population of the village will surely exceed 10,000. ”

There was an uproar in the hall again.

"It's only been three years since the year before last, so ...... That's doubled! ”

"More than that! Didn't you listen to him, it's more than 7,000 now. ”

"Don't interrupt, let him finish his sentence, and listen to how they do it."

Guangshou was very proud, he did have the qualifications to be proud: "What else can I do?" Of course, it is to follow the king, plant crops together, mine stones together, and fight together. ”

What he said was simple, but very practical.

Those who can be leaders are not fools, combined with the new ethnic rules issued by Tianhao before, many people are thoughtful.

"I'll say a few words." Guangsheng also stood up, his tone was clear and full of energy: "My name is Guangsheng, and I am the leader of Pinglin Village. I met the king a little earlier than the Guangshou brothers, and it has been almost four years since then. At that time, there were only more than 2,000 people in Pinglin Village. I also want to get a surname and become a nobleman. According to the clan rules, either the population of the village exceeds 10,000, or there are military exploits, and only in this way can you become a nobleman. I also want to leave some benefits for future generations, but the annual grain tax paid is at least 50 percent, and the people in the village can't eat enough and can't starve to death, so they just stay up, and in case of famine, they have to kill people, or sell the women in the village outside......"

"It was bitter at that time! The village is full of dead people's bones, and women don't dare to give birth to babies at all, because if they are born, they are born in vain, and no one can live without food, and in the end, adults and children will die together. I consulted with the priests and hunting captains in the stockade that this was not the way to go, and that we had to find a way to change and find another way. ”

Speaking of this, Guangsheng suddenly became excited: "Everyone, you probably don't know what the previous rock village was like. Let me ask you, who knows the former leader of the stockade, Fu Song? ”

Occasionally, a few people raised their right hands.

"I know."

"It was all many years ago, I used to go to Panshi Village, and I had dinner with Fu Song."

"Well, eight years...... It seems that it has been nine years, and the Panshi Village is too far away, and I haven't heard from Fusong since. ”

The smile on Guangsheng's face was full of meaning: "Then do you remember what the Panshi Village was like at that time, and how many people were there?" ”

Few responders began to search for memories of the past.

"There aren't many people, it seems to be about three hundred."

"Not that much, I remember it was only two hundred."

"It's two hundred. Fu Song is a black-hearted man, he dreams of becoming a nobleman. For several years in a row, he paid more than 60 percent of the grain tax, and many people in Panshizhai were starved to death. ”

Guangsheng's smile became more and more cheerful: "Let's count it according to three hundred!" Ladies and gentlemen, you all know that our king is the lord of the Rock Lord, and it took him less than three years to develop from the Rock Village to the Rock City. It was at that time that I got acquainted with His Royal Highness, it was he who took me to develop together, and later because of my meritorious service to the Lu people, I was rewarded by the great division and became a nobleman, and there are more and more people in Pinglin Village, and now it has more than 8,000, and it will be more than 10,000 in another year or two. When the time comes, I can also become the lord of the city. ”

Looking at Guang Sheng, who looked excited, Tianhao smiled and nodded approvingly.

This kind of occasion requires someone to show up and speak.

The person who arranged it in advance was Guangshou, but he didn't expect Guangsheng to take the initiative to stand up and cooperate. As it stands, the results are much better than expected.

The hall was once again in a boil.

The territory of the Niu tribe is too large, and the complex and mountainous terrain restricts communication with each other. Information between the main cities is barely kept open, and the remote villages are very unfamiliar with each other. People know that the new patriarch started from Rock City, but many people don't know that Rock City was formerly a small village of a few hundred people. They were somewhat skeptical of Tianhao's words, but they believed that the others who were also leaders would not lie.

Because it's not necessary. This is not simply a matter of singing praises to the new patriarch, all of this is related to his own vital interests. What's more, Tianhao made a five-year bet contract with the leader of the withered vine village and the hunting captain in public.

He is a nobleman, the king of the Thunder Ox, and he must be true to his word.

Tianhao spread out his hands, and at this moment, he became the focus of countless burning eyes.

"I, Niu Tianhao, the acting patriarch of the Thunder Niu Clan. I am a sorcerer and your king. I will take you to strength and happiness. ”

He swept the audience with a strong gaze: "Will you follow me?" ”
