Three days later, Su Mulian ordered Cheng Zheng to gather the people of Anchang Town, and the people were very curious about this move.

Su Mulian, who had freshened up and dressed, came to the gate of the mansion, sat on the chair that had been placed a long time ago, watched Zhao Pengfei serve on the side, and Cheng Aoran also stood aside, and then looked around at the gathered people.

"Princess Zhaohua, what's the matter with you calling everyone?" One of them couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked, and the others echoed it.

Su Mulian said unhurriedly: "Presumably everyone knows that the general and I will stay here for a year, right?" ”

The people nodded in confusion.

"Anchang Town is far away from the capital and adjacent to other countries, and I also know that everyone's living conditions have been bad, so this year, I will take everyone out of poverty and become rich."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone talked about it.

"Princess Zhaohua, are you telling the truth?" A woman's eyes widened in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"If Princess Zhaohua really leads us to prosperity, then it will be our great benefactor." A middle-aged man said.

"I don't want to be rich and rich, if Princess Zhaohua can solve our problem of food and clothing, I will definitely burn incense and worship Buddha every day in the future." Another old woman said.

......

All Su Mulian heard were some words of gratitude, but it didn't matter, and she would be very happy if she could really help them get out of poverty.

"In this year, I don't dare to guarantee that everyone will be rich and expensive, but I will definitely make everyone well fed and clothed, how about it?" Su Mulian said, after all, there are too many victims here, there are too many poor people, and the economic problems can only be slowly improved.

"Good!" The people applauded.

"In the meantime, you must listen to me." Su Mulian added.

The people also agreed, and one of them asked suspiciously: "Princess Zhaohua, how can you take us out of poverty and become rich?" ”

"Through these two days, I have ordered someone to investigate the basic situation in the town, there are a total of thirty-seven families, one hundred and ninety-seven people, and I will distribute land according to the situation of each family." Su Mulian said.

"Farming?" One of the women looked at Su Mulian worriedly, "My husband is dead, and only me and my two children are left. ”

"Men go to farm, women come to raise silkworms, the old people are at home, children come to me, and I teach them to read and write." Su Mulian said in an easy-to-understand manner.

"Really?" When the people heard this, they said incredulously that this was a great good thing for them.

Su Mulian nodded: "Naturally it's true, I calculated that the income from silkworm raising and farming is the same, twenty taels per year." ”

"Then if you do both, it will be forty taels of silver." One of them said in surprise.

Su Mulian nodded: "As long as you work hard, at least that's it." ”

After hearing this, the people couldn't think about it, and they were excited.

"But......" Su Mulian added unhurriedly, looking around at everyone.

When the people saw that she was halfway talking, they asked very anxiously.

"Princess Zhaohua, but what?"

"These seeds and silkworms are all paid by Lord Zhao himself, so at the end of the year, those who raise silkworms and those who farm the land must hand over five taels each, of course, each family unit." Su Mulian said.

"Good!" Without thinking, one of the young men replied simply, "I promise!" And that's fair! If I work hard, I can earn fifteen taels in addition to these five taels, which is better than starving! ”

He is right, this is indeed very fair, there is no free lunch in this world, since they want to be rich, they must pay as a matter of course, so as not to develop some bad habits, but harm this group of people.

After hearing this, the rest of the people thought about it carefully and felt that this was the truth, and they also raised their hands in agreement, Su Mulian watched everyone respond to the call and smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, Zhao Pengfei, who had been silent for a long time, walked to his side and reminded in a low voice: "Princess, the tax money for this land is collected by someone sent from above, and if the lower officials can't give it by then, it will definitely suffer." ”

Su Mulian looked at him worriedly, and it was also difficult for him, this place was so poor, and taxes had to be collected every year.

"Don't worry, Princess Ben will write to her father and ask him to be exempt from taxes for three years." Su Mulian replied.

The people were not only happy to hear this news, but Zhao Pengfei also breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard it.

"Edong, order someone to take things out." Su Mulian commanded in a low voice.

Yi Dong, who had been ordered, entered the mansion, and then walked out with a few guards carrying things, and placed them next to Su Mulian's side.

"You guys line up, now it's time to hand things out." Su Mulian said.

The soldiers maintained order, and the people were very cooperative.

"I know your family situation, so I don't have to report it." Su Mulian reminded that this is also to prevent everyone from thinking too much.

Half an hour later, each family got their things, and they lined up as a family unit, waiting for Su Mulian's orders.

"Now that you have got everything, everyone will do it well, you must know that the things in your hands are more than twenty taels, I can only help here, and in the future, I still have to rely on myself." Su Mulian raised her voice, like a teacher, teaching.

"Don't worry, princess." The people replied one after another.

"If Princess Ben finds that there are people who are lazy and lazy, who do not work hard, or who endanger the safety of Anchang Town, she will not be spared." Su Mulian warned sharply, and then looked around, "You all go back." ”

The people knelt on the ground and were very grateful, and one of the representatives said, "Thank you to Princess Zhaohua for taking care of her." ”

Su Mulian smiled softly and reminded: "Everyone, if you have to thank you, work hard to farm, educate your children to study hard, and serve the country in the future." ”

"The grass people will definitely teach their children to study hard." One of them.

"We are all the people of great victory, and all this is also due to the emperor's mercy." Su Mulian reminded everyone again, and then told them all to disperse.

Zhao Pengfei couldn't help but step forward and pat his ass: "Princess Zhaohua is compassionate and a model for the lower officials. ”

"If you use this kung fu to the right path, you must be a good official." Su Mulian smiled softly and said.

Zhao Pengfei didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled embarrassedly.

Su Mulian stood up and said in a low voice: "At the end of the year, the silver handed over by the people will be opened in five or five. ”

"What?" Zhao Pengfei was slightly stunned, does this princess also want to profit from it?

Su Mulian's face was straight, deliberately with a bit of seriousness, she stepped forward and repeated in a low voice.

"At the end of the year, it will be open at five or five."
