In the carriage back to Beijing, Lu Chen looked intently at the results of Xuan Jiwei's investigation in his hand.

After a moment, his eyes lit up inexplicably.

"Lin Yi... Chu... It's kind of interesting......"

I saw that the information in Lu Chen's hand clearly stated the two most conspicuous young people in this relief grain incident.

In order to repay the kindness of nurturing, Lin Yi tried his best to save Old Man Lin at all costs, which directly led to the complete fall of the Lin family and was kicked out of the Taihe family... In the face of the injustice of the government, Chu stood up and angrily reprimanded Chen Kuan when others were afraid to speak, and when the local bully Pan Lao Er came to the door to find trouble, he also dared to compete with him to protect his family.

Lin Yi is extremely filial, and Chu is not afraid of power.

And these two people have one thing in common that Lu Chen admires very much.

"Liangyu, Miss Gu."

Lu Chen put the information on the table, then pointed to the names of Chu and Lin Yi, and asked softly to Gu Simiao and Fu Huan, who were sitting opposite, "These two people, what do you think?" ”

The two subconsciously glanced at each other, and each could see the hesitation in each other's eyes.

After a while, Fu Huan slowly spoke: "Kindness and filial piety, can be described as a gentleman, but both of them are too impulsive and act recklessly, and they may not be suitable for officialdom." ”

"Impulsiveness isn't a bad thing."

Lu Chen shook his head.

"It's good to be a little more stable in the world, but it is also an advantage to move forward, to act in the next, always only to ask for a clear conscience, in the eyes of many people, but also a high-spirited person, but so what? Today's world, after all, still needs some motivated people to change. ”

Impulse?

Reckless of the consequences?

Not suitable for officialdom?

Isn't that a great thing?

Lu Chen was never afraid of impulsiveness, he was afraid that his subordinates would follow the rules, and they didn't even have the slightest momentum.

As for making mistakes? Back to the pot?

He was never afraid, he was afraid that he would be right and that he would be guilty, and he would not be able to carry the pot.

He likes the kind of reckless man who would rather make mistakes than do nothing.

It can even be said that it is thirsty for "virtuous".

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Fu Huan and Gu Simiao were suddenly a little speechless.

Sure enough, I regret each other

Of course, they didn't have any antipathy to Lin Yi and Chu, and even admired them very much, but appreciation is appreciation, but they don't think that these two people are suitable for being officials.

After all, there is only one Lu Huaiyu in this world.

The fact that he can rise to the top does not mean that others can, or in other words, his official path cannot be replicated at all.

"Huaiyu."

Gu Simiao said softly: "Do you want to bring these two people under your command?" ”

"Hmm."

Lu Chen nodded without hesitation.

"Wouldn't it be a pity that such a talent didn't enter the dynasty to serve the country?"

Hearing this, Fu Huan suddenly reminded: "Although Lin Yi has a reputation and is also a cultivator, but as the head of the Lin family, if he becomes an official, his mind will inevitably be on the affairs of the Lin family, and although Chu has a spiritual root, he has not been able to build a foundation and enter the Dao, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter the office." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Chen waved his hand.

"As long as it is jade, it will be carved and polished into a vessel."

As soon as these words came out, the two of them suddenly realized that Lu Chen was determined to take these two people under his command as the team in the future.

The two couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts.

With Lu Chen's current power and holy family, no one can stop him if he really wants to use it, not to mention anything else, as long as he directly accepts him as a protégé, Lin Yi and Chu can have a stepping stone into officialdom.

He's so terrifying now.

Don't look at him as just the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, his status in the court, even the first assistant Yan Song does not dare to touch his edge, and he will retreat if he can.

It's just that he has a weak foundation now, he doesn't have a team, and he doesn't have enough people to help him do things, otherwise how can anyone else in the court have anything to do?

Since he can't stop it, he can only find a way to help him avoid trouble.

As soon as she thought of this, Gu Simiao's eyes gradually became deeper, and she silently thought about Lin Yi and Chu, the two young people who were favored by Lu Chen.

These two people are now her food and people.

"Miss Gu."

Lu Chen turned his head, looked at Gu Simiao, and said softly, "Can I trouble you with this matter?" ”

Gu Simiao smiled slightly.

"Don't be so angry with me, like the commander of the Fu, it's no problem to call me Xiyue."

Lu Chen: "......"

Meanwhile.

Dozens of generals of the forbidden army dressed in light armor quietly appeared at the foot of the Black Mountain Mountain, and then went to all the villages in the fiefdom of Taihe County.

When the villagers saw several warriors with long knives at their waists appearing at the village gate, they were immediately startled, but after learning the other party's intention, they breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"I am the county prince of Taihe and the personal guard of General Shenwu."

At the entrance of a certain village, a tall man with a full beard said in a thunderous voice:

"On the orders of the great general, I am here to read the edict of the fief and a proclamation."

All the villagers immediately knelt down in unison, looking at the forbidden army general in front of them with a nervous expression.

They knew that their fate as the public food of Taihe County would be revealed soon.

Whether it is oppression, or laissez-faire and inaction, the attitude of the Taihe County Princess's treatment of them will determine everything they will do in the future.

In the nervous eyes of everyone, the big man used a loud voice to read out the decrees set up by Gu Simiao with the help of Lu Chen, one after another.

There are a total of five main contents.

First: the tax system, from now on, the new tax system will be implemented for the fiefdom, and in the future, the fief will not be taxed according to the capitation or the output of the acre, but will be taxed according to personal income, that is, if the individual does not have any income, he does not need to pay taxes, instead of paying a fixed tax as the outside, regardless of whether he has output or not.

And set the tax rules, at what age to start collecting taxes, below how much income does not need to pay taxes, how much to pay, only tax silver does not collect goods, etc., at the same time, as long as the title of Taihe County Duke is not removed, this tax system will never change.

Second: In the fiefdom, except for the Taihe County Governor himself, the rights and interests of all people are equal, and the Montenegrin Public Security Office and the Montenegrin Disaster Elimination Station were established to solve the disputes and difficulties of the people in Shiyi.

Third: The personal property of the people of Shiyi is protected by the county government, and they must not be plundered or fraudulent, otherwise they will be enemies of Taihe County.

Fourth: The people in the fiefdom do not need to serve as servants.

Fifth: eighty percent of the fiefdom taxes and resources are used for development, such as opening schools, medical centers, building bridges and paving roads, etc., and the remaining two percent are handed over to the county government.

In addition to these five articles, there are many detailed rules, and no matter which one of them, it is generally beneficial to the people of the food estate, which is very different from the laws implemented in the vast majority of fiefdoms.

After listening to the explanation of the forbidden army general on the fiefdom decree, the eyes of the people couldn't help but widen, and the whole person was dizzy, as if in a dream, there was an extremely unreal feeling.

"This general ......"

A thin villager opened his mouth in disbelief and asked with some uncertainty, "Is what you just said true?" Is this really a rule set by my grandfather? ”

"Of course."

The general was not annoyed, but chuckled and said: "The general personally explained to the general, and he wanted to convey her meaning to you word for word, and there is also a legal deed stamped with the county seal, how can it be fake?" Besides, this is a decree formulated by the general after specially consulting Lord Lu, and Lord Lu is also paying attention to this matter, how can the general play tricks on this matter? ”

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously stretched out their hands and twisted the thigh meat hard.

"Ahh

Severe pain came, and everyone immediately realized that this was true!

Not a dream!

That means that... Taihe County Father, their county father, has no intention of squeezing them at all!

As soon as I thought of this, a wave of irrepressible joy and excitement suddenly rose in everyone's hearts.

"Too... That's great!! ”

Many people immediately cheered and cried with joy.

They were people who were extremely miserable.

If it weren't for the fact that the family was surrounded by walls and couldn't afford to pay mutual food, how could they come to a ghost place like Montenegro?

I came here purely because I didn't have a choice.

Moreover, with the ten stones of mutual aid grain promised by the government, they can survive for a while.

Originally, they were worried that the Taihe County Guild would not snatch their life-saving relief food, but now they ......

The county magistrate not only did not rob them, but also wanted to protect them from being bullied.

They have already inquired, Taihe County Prince, is the most relied on martial artist in the saint today, when the general of the Shenwu Dynasty, a first-class official! With his protection, who would dare to bully them?

Obviously, they are ...... A blessing in disguise!

At this time, almost everyone subconsciously decided that after going back, they would immediately set up two immortal tablets, one for Lord Lu and one for the county grandfather......

"Quiet."

The general of the forbidden army raised his hand and pressed it slightly.

Everyone immediately raised their heads, forcibly holding back the excitement in their hearts, and looked at the generals of the forbidden army, their eyes full of anticipation.

The county magistrates love them so much, thinking about it, they will definitely not issue an edict that is unfavorable to them, and it is very likely that it is a real regulation for the benefit of the people!

It's about their own well-being, how can they not care?

"The decree has been read, if there is anything you don't understand, you can find Ben General alone to solve your doubts later, or go to the county government to find the secretary by yourself, and now Ben will talk about the announcement issued by the general."

Everyone held their breath for fear of missing a word.

The content of the announcement is not complicated.

is a recruitment announcement.

The Taihe County Public is ready to fund alone to build a road to Xingping County, recruit 3,000 laborers, one or two or five yuan per month, and add an additional 40% to the people of Shiyi, including food and accommodation, and the people of Shiyi are preferred, and the people of non-Shiyi are selected for recruitment.

Click...

When the content of the announcement was read out, several people suddenly trembled, and all the things in their hands fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Oh my God, what did I hear?

Hiring?

The paid kind!

Not servitude!

There are 1 or 25 yuan a month, which is higher than the harvest of growing grain!

And they eat the people of the city first!

This... This is the grace of life!

Smack!!

After some people reacted, they suddenly knelt heavily on the ground, crying and shouting: "Grandpa is benevolent and virtuous, and the prince is Wandai!" ”

"Grandpa Grandpa Wandai!"

"Lord Lu, Marquis Wandai!!"

“……”

At this moment, in the fiefdom, the reputation of Gu Simiao and Lu Chen completely reached its peak.

Eight hundred households and nearly 4,000 people chanted the titles of the two almost at the same time, expressing their most sincere gratitude and blessings.

Recently, almost all the people in Taihe County have been paying attention to the situation in the Black Mountain fiefdom.

After all, there is suddenly a county prince in the county, and he is still a big man who is relied on by the saints today, and he is not just the name of a hereditary prince, but wants to run the fief in a serious way, there is such a variable, how can they not care?

Therefore, not long after Gu Simiao's personal guards read out the edict of the fiefdom, the content of the edict spread to the county.

At this time, the Li family.

"What?!"

After seeing the fiefdom decree, Li Zhiping's face changed instantly, and his face was full of incredulity.

"Income tax... Abolition of servitude... The people of the fiefdom are protected by the county government, and bullying the people of the food is equivalent to offending the county government? This..."

He never thought that General Gu would do this for those ordinary people who had no value at all, not only implementing decrees in the fief that were different from the current laws in Great Xia, but also using his power to protect the people of the fief from being bullied.

Why?

Montenegro is obviously full of coal, and the nearby land is extremely barren, and there is no food at all, so it shouldn't mean anything to her, in this case, the Duke of Taihe County is just a nominal hereditary title, and it stands to reason that even if you don't oppress the local people, you should be left to fend for yourself.

And Taihe County, an inferior county, should not be taken seriously by a big man like her.

Why does she love the people like a son, and she builds roads?

What exactly is her purpose?

Could it be that there are some unknown treasures in Montenegro?

Can't figure it out.

I can't figure it out at all.

But in any case, one thing is certain.

If Gu Simiao was serious and sheltered the people of the fiefdom from the bottom of his heart, then the Lin family who had become the public food of Taihe County... will inevitably become an existence that they can't afford to mess with.

The Lin family waited for the agreement to provoke the Taihe County Prince.

When the general of Shenwu of the dynasty, the highest military attache of the empire in charge of military affairs, how could they, the little head snake of Taihe County, be provoked?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zhiping's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

In the next second, he suddenly slapped the table next to him unwillingly.

"Someone!"

With his chanting, only a moment later, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then the figure of the old butler of the Li family appeared outside the door.

"Master, what do you command?"

The old butler asked in a hoarse voice.

Li Zhiping took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and then said to him: "The matter of the Lin family's industry, from today onwards, our Li family will no longer interfere, and return all the shares that we took the opportunity to get back, and the store under our family's name will no longer target the Lin family's store in the future, in a word..."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said in an inexplicable voice: "From now on, my Li family and his Lin family, the well water will not interfere with the river water." ”

Hearing this, the old housekeeper was suddenly shocked, and subconsciously wanted to ask why.

But as soon as he thought of Li Zhiping's strength, he hurriedly swallowed back what he wanted to say, and nodded directly.

Li Zhiping waved his hand to him, and the old housekeeper left without hesitation.

Looking at his back as he left in a hurry, Li Zhiping's gaze became more and more gloomy.

At the same time, the other families also put away their gluttonous mouths, and did not dare to talk lightly about the Lin family, and then spit out all the food they had eaten before.

Without any discussion, the families tacitly made the wisest choice.

The family was happy and the family was sad, when the Li family and other well-known families in Taihe County died down, Zhao Dafu's family almost didn't set off a cannon to celebrate.

"Qian'er, you are really a lucky star for your father!"

Zhao Dafu looked at his daughter in front of him, who was also happy, with an excited face, and laughed out loud without scruples.

Happy like a child of more than two hundred pounds.

"The general attaches so much importance to the people of the fiefdom, and for this reason he deliberately created so many unprecedented decrees to benefit the people, the Lin family is now the general's people, protected by the general, and it is very likely to rise again in the future, the Lin family is... A blessing in disguise! ”

"Qian'er, you are engaged to Lin Yi when the Lin family is in the most difficult time, our family has given such a rich dowry, it is undoubtedly a relief for the Lin family, the rise of the Lin family, our Zhao family... We will be able to ride this strong wind and go further! ”

Seeing that her father was so happy, Zhao Qian also laughed.

"Daddy, my daughter has already said that Brother Yi is tenacious, resolute and resolute, and a person of the most filial piety, he will definitely be a great character in the future, and his luck will definitely not be far behind."

Zhao Dafu laughed.

"My daughter is right, was my father short-sighted before, or did you have a vision."

Hearing her father praise herself without hesitation, Zhao Qian, who had done something about it, couldn't help but blush, a little embarrassed.

But no matter what, whether it was prescient or a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, the current result undoubtedly proves that her choice is right.

She Zhao Qian chose a promising Ruyi Langjun.

…………

What happened in Taihe County, Lu Chen, who was in Luojing, hundreds of miles away, naturally didn't know.

Helping Gu Simiao make a fief decree was just a matter of his own convenience, so he naturally didn't care about the impact.

After returning to Beijing, Lu Chen focused on the Tiangong Division.

The shelves of the Tiangong Division have been almost erected, and it has been studying the coal for a while, and it is almost time to speed up the progress.

At this time, the Tiangong Division is in Vientiane.

"Miss Sue."

Lu Chen sat on the main seat, and said indifferently to Su Ning, who was contemplative not far away, thinking about something crucial:

"Recently, this official has come up with a way to strip out the harmful things in the charcoal and turn it into a fuel that can be burned stably like charcoal and will not produce those harmful smokes."

Hearing this, Su Ning's eyes suddenly froze, and his attention instantly peeled off from the various thoughts in his mind, and then looked at Lu Chen with great anticipation.

"What's the solution?"

The others also stopped what they were doing, and at the same time focused their attention on Lu Chen.

For this big man who advocated the establishment of the Tiangong Division and put forward the concept of rejuvenating the country through things, they would not think that Lu Chen was a layman, but respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

Lu Chen's opinions and ideas, they naturally attach great importance to them.
