Chapter 228: Faith Can Be Turned into Substance

After the renovation activities, all the villages in Kyushu began to build private schools, and for a while, especially in backward villages, both adults and children happily welcomed the private schools.

The first place was in the village of Yamanashi near the capital, a week after the imperial court wiped out all the families.

A notice was posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of the county government, and some people came back from the field and saw that the bulletin board surrounded many people, so they also went to join in the fun.

A group of people stared at each other, looking at the bulletin board with a puzzled expression, and one person put it down from his shoulder to support the ground, supporting his body, looking at the announcement on the bulletin board in wonder, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"What is written on this!" The man was rightly asking.

The people around him gave him a strange look, and a man with a shovel next to him said angrily.

"Don't you see around here? If you know what to write, can you still stand here and not leave? ”

Most of the people in the village are illiterate, and they only know that there is important news on the bulletin board occasionally posted, so they rush to join in the fun, which is embarrassing, no one knows how to read.

A teenager, probably in his teens, squeezed in, and looked at the adults around him as he looked at the white paper on the wall.

At this glance, he screamed in surprise, and his voice attracted the attention of the people in the nearby village.

"Yo, isn't this the grandson of the old Zhao family?" A person recognized him, and the eyes of the villagers next to him fell on him, and he said excitedly: "This doll has been to school, so she must know what is written on it?" ”

The villagers looked at the young man eagerly, and the young man scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "The imperial court plans to build a private school for the village. ”

The villagers who were surrounded by the words were all shocked, and they all looked at the bulletin board, their faces full of surprise and excitement, and a hint of disbelief.

This means that all the children can be educated, and even better, they can even go to the imperial court to become officials, so that they can get rid of the small village, get rid of their birth, and become human beings.

The same thing was happening in various villages in Kyushu, and the people who farmed the land were grateful that the imperial court remembered them.

After that, the news of the whole of Kyushu spread very quickly from the imperial court, and it was directly distributed from the imperial court to various places.

When the magistrates received the order, most of them were shocked that the new king had issued such an order, and in fact the decision would do more harm than good to them, and the taxes would be reduced. They will also get less and less benefits.

For the imperial court, this action outweighed the losses, and the imperial court could not benefit from it.

Many people hesitated for a while, and asked them to reduce the taxes of the people, and severely punish all cases of food price gouging, and they could not profit from it.

And some other officials did not hesitate to implement the order, for no other reason, they saw from this order that Su Mo's love for the people, these people were all born from the imperial examination among the disciples of the poor family, and they were good officials who loved the people like children.

The actions of the new king were very different from those of the previous emperors, and some of the older officials remembered how unscrupulous the previous emperors were.

The previous emperor sang songs every night, drank wine and meat forests every day, increased taxes every year, and the people were miserable, but he never cared how miserable the people's lives were, just to satisfy his own selfish desires.

On the one hand, there was the oppression of the family, and on the other hand, the emperor's heavy taxes, and the people were miserable, but they were helpless.

If the harvest is good that year, you can still eat a little after paying the taxes, but if the sky is not beautiful and there is a great drought, then you will not even be able to meet the standard of taxation, and you will be taken away by the imperial court to build a dam to offset taxes.

They don't get any money out of it, and even the officials give them leftovers, and even then many people can't afford to eat.

And every day they have to get up early to follow the dam construction, the amount of work is huge, and the officials are fierce, and they take whips all day long to beat those who do not work, many people starve to death, and many people are whipped to death.

And the wives and children at home, as well as the old fathers and mothers, can only continue to farm miserably, hoping to pay off the taxes owed and exchange them for the pillars of the family.

Later, the emperor of the previous dynasty was about to end his life, and I didn't know where I heard that eating snake meat could prolong life, and I became obsessed with eating snake meat.

If you can arrest the snake and hand it over to the imperial court, not to mention being exempted from taxes, you can also get a bag of grain.

Many people were bitten by snakes and died of poison when they were arrested, but there were still many people who moths to the fire, hoping to reduce taxes and ask for some food for their families.

More and more people chose to catch snakes, and most of the fields were famine, food was greatly reduced, and then there was a famine.

After the death of the previous emperor, the family abolished the law of catching snakes in exchange for food and demanded farming.

Later, the world was in turmoil, Su and Mo unified Kyushu, and wars broke out, and many lands became wasteland.

To this day, many people do not have enough to eat, let alone pay onerous taxes.

And now the new emperor has issued such an order, which is like a life-saving straw for the people.

In this way, the people were pleasantly surprised to find that, unlike the oppression they had been subjected to, all the maliciously inflated grain prices had returned to normal.

Even, Su Mo also reduced their taxes, it is said that because he understood the difficulties of the people, he asked local officials to adjust the local taxes and reduce them by half.

After getting the news, all the people of Kyushu burst into tears, and they lived in dire straits when the previous dynasty was there, and although the situation was better after the change of dynasty, they would still be oppressed by the family

Seeing the collapse of the previous dynasty, the family originally had heavy ambitions and wanted to unify Kyushu, but they were inserted by Su Mo, and they maintained a peaceful posture on their faces, but they did not stop their movements.

In the nether realm, resources are everything, in other words, the family is everything, and there are as many ordinary people who can't cultivate, all of them are enslaved and oppressed by the family, and for the family, they are the cheapest slaves.

And now, without the oppression of the family, the benefits of the first established dynasty were instantly revealed, and everyone was grateful and sighed, the new emperor Su Mo was really good to them, they were no longer as good as dogs as before, and they were bullied at will.

If it is said that the eradication of the people of the family is grateful to Su Mo, then now these tangible benefits for them make them tears, in just a few months, Su Mo's reputation has spread throughout Kyushu.

When the new king was mentioned, all the people were grateful, and then began to tell them how good the new king had done to them.

There are also officials in the court who love the people like children, and seeing that Su Mo cares so much about the common people, he can't help but praise and love the new king.
