Chapter 712: Shock
The expression on Lu Dashun's face changed from respect and expectation to consternation in an instant, and he never imagined that Qin Yining's topic would suddenly turn to his head.
"Princess, how can I ......" His unspoken question was swallowed back into his mouth when he looked at Qin Yining who knew everything.
The scene fell into a deathly silence for a moment.
There were no stupid people present, and even those who didn't understand it at the time of the incident can understand it now when they sit down and think about it.
Shopkeeper Zhong lowered his head and did not speak, his black hair was facing Qin Yining, trying his best to hide the thoughts in his heart.
Qin Yining looked at this young man who was not as weak as the crown and sighed helplessly.
It seems that human nature will change with the change of environment.
When she saw Lu Dashun for the first time, this person still looked shrunken, and at a glance, she knew that she was temporarily found by the shopkeeper of Xia Da, and she wore a new set of good materials and nervous hands and feet didn't know where to put it.
But in the past few days, he has already learned to calculate, and he has learned to come to her to make stumbling blocks for the shopkeeper Zhong and the shopkeeper Xia. She has long been dissatisfied with the shopkeeper of Xia, but the shopkeeper Zhong Da is loyal to her, and she has always trusted her. It can be seen that Lu Dashun's ambition is not small.
Qin Yining couldn't help but feel some emotion. Where there are really people, there are rivers and lakes.
In the past, when there were not many people around her, the little girls knew that they had to say goodbye to each other. Nowadays, there are more people, and as long as the relationship between them involves interests, who oppresses whom, and who can show their faces, it becomes more and more difficult to distinguish.
Seeing that Qin Yining didn't speak, Lu Dashun was already a little panicked. Said anxiously: "The princess is angry, the villain is not dissatisfied with you, nor does he want to hide his heart, it is really because the shopkeeper Xia Da was promoted by the shopkeeper Zhongda, and the shopkeeper Zhong Da is your henchman, if the villain rashly speaks, I am afraid that he will not be able to win your trust, 'hearing is false, seeing is believing', since the little one has the fate to become the princess's subordinates, naturally I don't want you to be kept in the dark, and I hope that the princess will be clear!" ”
Qin Yining smiled.
In fact, half of what Lu Dashun said came from the bottom of his heart. He really had to make this decision because the shopkeeper Zhong was too close to Qin Yining, and the shopkeeper Xia was the shopkeeper Zhongda.
But Qin Yining also understands that there is also an element of selfishness hidden in this. But everyone has selfishness, and she won't expose it.
"Don't be nervous. I understand your mind, you may not know much about us, you will be like this, you just need to say something in the future. You are a kind person, as long as you do your errands seriously, you will naturally be reused. Qin Yining smiled and said sincerely.
When Lu Dashun heard this, he immediately saluted excitedly: "Thank you, princess!" Thank you, Princess! ”
"Get up, you don't have to make this great gift." Qin Yining looked at Shopkeeper Zhong with a smile, raised his eyebrows, and joked, "Shopkeeper Zhong won't retaliate against him, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Dashun's heart was pounding. The princess seemed to be asking the shopkeeper Zhong, but in fact, she was also ordering him - they all understood his careful thoughts, but they just didn't expose it!
Lu Dashun originally thought that he could rise to the top, he was really a smart and powerful character with unlimited potential, but now it seems that he is too conceited and has become a laughing stock.
Lu Dashun lowered his head this time and said convincingly: "Don't dare." ”
Shopkeeper Zhong understood in his heart that Qin Yining was asking him on his face, but in fact, he was supporting him, and he was really feeling more and more guilty and panicked.
"Princess, it was because I was incompetent and didn't know people clearly that I made such a mistake, and I really don't deserve the princess's forgiveness. I already know that I am guilty, the shopkeeper of Lu San is just speaking bluntly in front of you, and there is nothing wrong with him, even if the shopkeeper of Lu San really has any fault, there will be punishment by the princess, how dare the old man retaliate in private. ”
Qin Yining smiled and waved his hand, "Let's all sit down and talk." We are all our own people, for the same purpose. ”
The shopkeeper of Zhong Da bowed and sat down.
Lu Dashun was shocked again in his heart.
Zhong Da's shopkeeper's words were also telling him that even if Zhong Da's shopkeeper really did something wrong, there would be a princess to punish him, and he, who was also the shopkeeper, had no qualifications and position to make small moves in private.
Lu Dashun's forehead was sweating. It seems that he was too proud and complacent, and he forgot his duty, and he forgot that these were powerful people in front of him, and he was so proud that he almost brought disaster to himself.
Qin Yining instructed the maid to refill the tea and serve snacks, and chatted with the two for a while, and there was no anger at all by the shopkeeper of Xia Da.
This obvious contrast made the shopkeeper Xia Da more arrogant, and Qin Yining became more and more profound.
"There are two more things to do for the two of you."
"Princess, please command."
In response, both stood up and bowed.
Qin Yining said: "The old capital has not been peaceful these years, there was famine and war back then, and after catching up with the earth dragon and turning over, the people are even more struggling. Although there are a lot of refugees in my village, it can't save all the people in the end. But I still don't want to give up on what I can do my best. Therefore I intend to exempt all the tenants under my jurisdiction from rent for one year. Shopkeeper Zhong, I still have to bother you to do this, and the shopkeeper of Lu San is on the side to assist. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately nodded in understanding.
But the shopkeeper of Lu San was a little stunned.
Others don't know, I followed Xia Da's shopkeeper a while ago, but I figured out how many industries Qin Yining has, although those industries are not written in her name, but the grain produced by those lands, if it catches up with a good year, the rent paid will be enough to feed an army. All these rents are gone, and that would be a lot of money!
"Princess, you ......"
Qin Yining smiled and waved his hand, "Money is something outside the body, not to mention that I used to be the saint of Tianjizi's order to protect the fortune of the country, and I also did it by asking the sky, but now it is just a rent, and it is also my duty." ”
As soon as she said this, Lu Dashun remembered that although he was not in the old capital back then, he had also heard of the grandeur of the Holy Maiden asking the sky, which was the death of the Great Yan Dynasty, otherwise the name of Xuan Su Zhenren might be as loud as Tianjizi in the Great Yan Dynasty.
Lu Dashun nodded again and again.
The shopkeeper of Zhong Da understood that Qin Yining was not just about doing good deeds.
Back then, she took in a lot of refugees, and bought a lot of land for the people who wanted to flee with her own money, in order to let everyone have the silver to flee, but she didn't expect that good people have their own good rewards.
But all those people, Qin Yining took them in, and most of her Zhuangzi were these people.
At the beginning, they were all grateful for the favor of the "big landlord". It's just that a large part of them don't know that the owner behind Zhuangzi is Qin Yining. Doing more of this now is nothing more than to let those refugees who have been favored resound the original benefits, at least when the shopkeeper Xia Da does bad things, don't make any moths.
Shopkeeper Zhong has been following Qin Yining for a long time, and his guess is not bad.
Qin Yining is still very confident in her popularity, even if she doesn't mention the matter of taking her in at the beginning, when Dilong turns over, she came to the old capital for disaster relief and the people of the generation in Yang County should also remember the benefits of her and Xiao Xiao. It's just that they didn't deliberately publicize this time, and many people from other places didn't know about it.
I believe that if you build momentum with your heart, you will naturally be able to build a good relationship among the people, and as long as you have the support of the people, other things will be easier to do.
When Qin Yining was planning the affairs of Xia Da's shopkeeper at home, there was chaos in the camp of the Pingnan Army.
In recent days, the "suppression of bandits" has continued, and he has taken turns to bring out many brothers, but only those who were on his "black list" at the beginning have been left behind. This has made these people feel very unhappy. Later, the so-called "bandits" no longer dared to walk on the road, because no matter whether they took the official road or the side road, whether they carried the banner of the Four Links and carried the big shopkeeper to make face, or disguised themselves as other merchants, there was not a single time when the goods transported out of the city were not robbed.
Moreover, they suppress bandits, and they are only allowed to enter, not to leave. This led to the interruption of the foreign trade of the four links.
The people with the four-way number are anxious. Those in the barracks who have not been paid until now are also very aggrieved. If everyone doesn't pay them, and every day they see that other brothers in the same camp are paid, but they don't have them, what kind of mood is that?
Everything is going on in an orderly manner in the plan of the owl,
On this day, more than 1,000 people who had started the incident and were obviously secretly bribed finally gathered on the school grounds.
"The prince is unfair!"
"Why does the prince only take them and not take us!"
"Don't give us the spoils yet!"
……
These people are even angrier than when they first made trouble, and when it comes to their own interests, no one is willing to give in.
Xiao Xiao wore a black short, his hair was neatly tied up in a bunch, and he stood on the school field with his hands in his hands, looking at the people who were shouting in front of him expressionlessly. Although he has long understood human nature very thoroughly, he can see that these soldiers have to fight much harder to recover benefits for themselves than when they go into battle to kill the enemy, and his heart is still a little depressed. What's more, they are not loyal, they have long been secretly bribed, and they have stayed in the Pingnan army camp to monitor his situation anytime and anywhere, intending to plot against him.
The crowd was noisy, and gradually became more and more intense because of the silence of the owl.
When the noise reached an intolerable level, Xiao Xiao said in a deep voice: "Shut up." ”
Huzi, who had been standing behind Xiao Xiao for a long time, immediately stood up and shouted: "Shut up, listen to the prince's orders!" ”
There are also those men who have followed the owl out to suppress the bandits many times, and said in unison to the men who are happy and convinced: "Listen to the marshal's orders, listen to the marshal's orders!" ”
The noisy shouting and scolding of more than 1,000 people could not withstand the chorus of the same 1,000 people, and they were weakened by one percent in terms of momentum, and they shut up one after another.
