Chapter 200: Severely punish the rich and wealthy
Among the onlookers, many of the original residents of Huixian County couldn't stand it.
"Rich businessman, aren't you making trouble unreasonably, although your house is luxurious, you can't open your mouth so much. Besides, you are also from Huixian, and these people are also your villagers, can't you help them when they are in danger? ”
"Yes, it's okay to be mercenary on weekdays, if today's disaster is in front, we are not united, and tomorrow we should die under the natural disaster."
"Aren't you afraid of retribution if you make a fortune like this?"
The wealthy businessmen were unmoved, but scolded the people around them.
"What nonsense are you untouchables talking about? The house is mine, how much money I want to charge is my business, it's too expensive not to live in, where is so much nonsense. My family has been a businessman for three generations, and I have worked hard to save such a big foundation, why should I give you a place to live in vain, what I owe you? ”
Although the surrounding people were dissatisfied, they couldn't find a way to refute it, and they gritted their teeth angrily. Being rich or unkind may be the best adjective for wealthy businessmen.
Finally lured this sentence out.
Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Li Jiazhuang's servant and said, "Have you publicized the law in times of disaster?" ”
"The owner's orders, how dare we relax, this morning has spread all over the city, every household has sent leaflets, including this rich family!"
Following Li Hao for many years, these servants naturally knew what Li Hao wanted to do, so they deliberately accentuated the five words of wealth and wealth.
"Flyer, what flyer?" The rich man was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Li Hao was talking about.
Li Hao took out a blank piece of paper from his arms and read it aloud according to what was written on it.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said!"
As soon as these eight words came out, everyone present was taken aback, and they hurriedly knelt in the muddy water to listen to the will of the Holy God.
"The disaster in Hongxian County is rare in a hundred years, the disaster relief trip is urgent, and now the Zhen'an King Li Hao is sent to Hongxian County for disaster relief, before the disaster is calmed down, the people of Hongzhou need to strictly abide by the law, abandon private and seek public, encourage each other, and fight the disaster together. If someone collects wealth by disaster, Li Hao, the king of Zhen'an, can punish him on behalf of heaven, and he will do this! ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Everyone shouted long live and didn't dare to raise their heads for a long time.
The rich man was even more panicked, and the fat on his body was constantly shaking in the rain, which looked very funny.
"No...... Impossible, how could it be so coincidental, this must be your improvised words! ”
The rich man yelled in horror, because if what Li Hao recited was really the emperor's holy decree, then the accommodation expenses he just said for one or two silver the next day were collecting money, and Li Hao could help the emperor execute him on the spot.
Li Hao smiled: "The holy decree is hanging in my room, there is a special person to take care of it, if you don't believe it, you can go with me to see the true face of the holy decree." It's good for you to die! ”
The rich man suddenly turned pale and sat down in the rain.
Li Hao raised the leaflet in his hand, pointed at the rich man and shouted.
"This person despised the king's law, openly collected wealth in times of disaster, regardless of the life and death of the people, the charges were too numerous to mention, and he should have been beheaded, but the disaster was undecided, and this king did not have time to care about you, so he was temporarily sent to prison and sent to prison. Wait for the disaster to subside, and then make a decision! ”
Yu Fang was already confused by Li Hao's series of operations, and he didn't react for a while.
Li Hao looked at him with a sneer: "Why Lord Yu, you also want to resist the decree?" ”
"The minister doesn't dare, someone will put the rich and rich into death row, and let them fall!"
A group of officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward and pulled the rich man who was like a fat pig in the direction of the cell.
Li Hao turned to look at the onlookers.
"Fellow villagers, natural disasters and catastrophes are rare in a century. Disasters are merciless, but people cannot be merciless. Look at the people around you, they are your fellow villagers, and now there are floods and torrential rains everywhere outside the county, and they have nowhere to go but to take refuge in the county seat. Can you really bear to leave them to fend for themselves? ”
"Heaven is ruthless and always works with good people, and the gods will watch it when they are good to others. I, Li Hao, am just an ordinary person, and what I can do is very limited, and I can't properly accommodate so many people. It's me Li Hao who is incompetent, so I can only make trouble for everyone. However, I am not a brazen person, but if you promise to help resettle the victims, I will compensate you with money, and I will never let you suffer. ”
"Besides, I have already discussed with Your Majesty before I came, in the face of disasters, no matter how much the imperial court does, it is only an external force, and if you want to defeat natural disasters, you still need everyone's joint efforts after all. Your Majesty has promised me that as long as I help the government accept refugees in times of disaster, every family will be exempt from taxes for one year, and I hereby swear that if this statement is half false, I, Li Hao, am willing to suffer the punishment of heavenly thunder! ”
"No taxes, one year!" When the people around heard this, they immediately became excited.
No matter how much you say about benevolence, it is not as good as a real benefit.
"Lord Li, you are benevolent and righteous, and you think about the people in my disaster area everywhere, and your words have come to this point, if we have any more small words, wouldn't it be too cold-blooded and ruthless! I would like to accept the affected villagers to my home! Promise to treat them as relatives and never treat them badly! ”
"Me too, I am willing, I still have two vacant rooms in my house, and I can accept two families to stay at my house."
"I am also willing to accept it, everyone is a villager, and we should help each other in the face of disaster!"
As the first person willing to accept the victims appeared, many people followed, and they all opened their mouths to accept it. People are united, and in the cold rain, there is a little more warm taste.
"Thank you, I, Li Hao, only represent all the villagers affected by the disaster in Hongzhou, thank you for your righteous trip!" Li Hao was so excited that he bowed deeply to everyone.
At this moment, Li Hao stood in the rain without an umbrella, and the rain soaked his clothes and hair.
Everyone is even more grateful to see him like this. As a result, Qing officials came to Hongzhou for disaster relief, what should the people of Hongzhou be afraid of?
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the action to accept the victims was in full swing.
Looking at their departing backs, Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, this scene was finally over. Sure enough, in the face of such a disaster, if we want to unite the people, we need to have interests and slogans in parallel.
The people took the benefits and enjoyed the good name, and they would spontaneously start to help the people affected by the disaster.
"Lord Zhen'an, you care about the people and are selfless, I Liu Mao admire, if there is an order in the future, I Liu Mao will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up!"
Li Hao's performance just now completely moved Liu Mao, he was originally a clean official for the country and the people, and now when he saw Li Hao, a prince who was not afraid of power, he immediately moved to follow him.
"Lord Liu Mao has a good reputation, I really need your help here!" Li Hao pulled Liu Mao down to his side: "The victims continue to settle in, and when there are more people, there will naturally be a thorn in the head." In order to prevent them from disturbing the people, I need you to form a team to patrol the law. Now that the form of crisis, Huixian County can no longer withstand any turmoil, you must be cautious. ”
"Xia Guan understands, I will find the right people to form a team, and I will definitely not let those people cause trouble!"
"No, no, no!" Li Hao smiled treacherously: "Let them disappear is a matter for the future, what you have to do now is to find a special case for me." ”
"Lord Wang, why is this? I beg your pardon for not understanding. ”
Li Hao patted him on the shoulder: "You are a smart person, but you are not bad enough." If you want to follow me in the future, learn how to be a bad guy first! ”
After speaking, Li Hao smiled and walked away, leaving Liu Mao standing in confusion.
