Hearing his promise, Zhao Meiniang no longer hesitated, nodded and said,

"Since the prince has spoken, my Zhao family firm will not refuse!"

Although it is a bit difficult for the Zhao family to buy a large amount of money to buy a field, as long as you can get in touch with Ji Lie, it is still worth it.

Besides, the business of drunken immortal brewing has already spread, and it won't be long before it can start making a profit!

"The villain is also willing to help the prince."

Ji Lie agreed to let Yang Dehou use abacus, Daxia numbers and new accounting methods, but Yang Dehou was really embarrassed to refuse, so he nodded in response.

"That's great, then please two of you!"

Ji Lie breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"The prince is polite. It's just the number of 3,000 acres, which is really a lot, and I hope that the prince can forgive him for more time. ”

Zhao Meiniang said.

"That's easy to say! Then it's troublesome! ”

Ji Lie smiled.

The three of them exchanged a few more words, and Zhao Meiniang and Yang Dehou got up and said goodbye.

On the second day after they met, they ordered someone to send the title deeds for a total of 500 acres of land.

With this 500 acres of land deed, Ji Lie can also rest assured that Zhang Changde will recruit people.

It didn't take long for Zhang Changde to complete the recruitment of the first batch of displaced people.

……

On this day, the autumn weather is crisp and breezy.

Ji Lie and Xiu'er rode in a carriage and came to the outside of the city.

When the carriage stopped shaking, Rifle outside said,

"Your Highness, we're here!"

Ji Lie lifted the curtain and saw a patchwork of courtyards not far away.

Zhang Changde is leading the guards of the palace to bring a group of displaced people into the village.

This village covers a vast area, with hundreds of houses in it, all kinds of facilities, and a tall courtyard wall made of bluestone bricks, like a small city.

Ji Lie took Xiu'er out of the carriage and walked towards the door of Zhuangzi in a leisurely manner.

Seeing him coming, Zhang Changde hurriedly put down the affairs at hand and walked over quickly.

"I've seen the prince in my humble position!"

"No need to be polite."

Ji Lie nodded with a smile and asked,

"This is the Zhuangzi provided by Zhao Meiniang?"

"Back to the prince, it was provided by Mrs. Zhao!"

Zhang Changde pointed to the courtyard and said,

"There are many houses in this manor, and the surrounding land provided by the two masters is the most suitable for housing the homeless!"

When Ji Lie heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.

This Zhao Meiniang is very sensible, she didn't waste her preaching and teaching in vain, and handed over the abacus and other things to her.

Since she is so sensible, she can't treat her badly in the future.

Ji Lie thought as he led everyone into Zhuangzi.

After the displaced people were settled, the stronger men gathered in the open space in the center of the Zhuangzi.

Although these people in front of him were numb and had dishes on their faces, Ji Lie was not disappointed, but was slightly excited.

These are my future team!

With their own ability, as long as they are trained a little, it won't be long before they can cultivate an elite army!

"Lord Wang, it's almost time!"

Zhang Changde whispered to Ji Lie.

Ji Lie nodded, followed him, and walked up to the high platform in the clearing.

"Silence!"

With Zhang Changde's order, the men present quieted down one after another.

Looking at Ji Lie, who was standing behind Zhang Changde and looked young and handsome, their eyes were full of curiosity!

"Standing in front of you is the son of His Majesty today, King You!"

Most of these men are ordinary people, otherwise they would not have become homeless.

The people with the highest status they can contact on weekdays are only the three elders in the township, or the township officials who come to collect taxes.

Some people have never even seen the local prefectural ordinance in their entire lives.

As soon as they heard Ji Lie's identity, their faces were shocked, and the eyes that looked at Ji Lie also became full of awe!

What's more, with a plop, he knelt down directly for Ji Lie!

You must know that in the propaganda of the government, the emperor is the son of heaven.

And Ji Lie is the son of the emperor, so naturally he is also the blood of heaven!

"The prince is merciful, and he can't bear to see you and others living on the streets, lacking food and clothing, so he specially ordered me to gather you and others together to provide you with food, clothing, and shelter."

"Don't wait a minute, thank you, Lord Wang!"

Zhang Changde shouted in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"The prince is benevolent and merciful!"

A group of men knelt down one after another, gossiping.

Seeing so many people kneeling, Ji Lie, as a traverser, was really a little uncomfortable.

But when the world is hierarchical, Ji Lie has no ability or interest in changing it for the time being.

He stepped forward slowly, his eagle-sharp gaze scanning the audience.

The men present didn't dare to look at him, and they all lowered their heads.

"No matter where you come from, what kind of identity you are, but since you have entered the lonely village, you are a person from Youwangfu."

Ji Lie said loudly,

"From today on, as long as you are willing to train with Commander Zhang and become the guard of the palace,"

"Your family members can cultivate the land of the palace, and they only need to pay 30% of the output!"

Hearing this, the men present couldn't help but feel a commotion!

The taxation of Great Xia is divided into two types: taxation and taxation.

Tax refers to the land tax, which is levied on farmers who own land according to the grain production of the year, according to the standard of 10 to 15 taxes.

Ji Lie collects 30% of the output, which is equivalent to 10 taxes and 3.

At first glance, it seems that some of them have increased the burden on these displaced people.

Not really.

In ancient times, the land tax was less burdensome to the people, and what really made them miserable was all kinds of taxes.

For example, according to the capitation, the annual payment is calculated.

In order not to do military service or forced labor, they are exempt from military tax.

In addition, in order to thank the Son of Heaven for always working hard in the world, everyone also needs to pay the so-called donation fee.

So many miscellaneous taxes accounted for almost half of the people's harvest.

Because of this, once a natural disaster occurs, the people must sell their land, and even sell their children and daughters to survive the disaster year.

Ji Lie collected thirty percent, but without any land rent and taxes, it is already quite benevolent!

But that's not all, Ji Lie followed slowly,

"On top of that, you'll have a penny a month."

"Those who perform well and make meritorious contributions will not only be able to get more land, but also be promoted, and maybe they will be able to replace Commander Zhang and become the commander of the palace in the future!"

"If someone dies in battle, their family members will also receive a generous pension!"

As soon as these words came out, the men present were almost crazy!

You must know that they serve in the military and forced labor for the imperial court, and they don't have a penny of silver, and all kinds of expenses need to be paid out of their own pockets!

The conditions that Ji Lie opened are really generous, and the door is open, and the abundance has arrived home!

In the eyes of many men, Ji Lie is simply the reincarnation of a saint!

"Lord Wang, the grass people are willing!"

"I ...... It's the same! ”

The frenzied homeless people rushed to answer the road.
