41. Returning Victoriously (II)
After staying in the Elven Forest for a month, the Yanhuang Clan left the Elven Forest and turned north, preparing to go to the last of the Western Continent to make a trip to Shengbu Port, where they would receive the last batch of ores and other materials collected by the mercenaries before setting off back to the Eastern Continent.
There was nothing to say all the way, and soon arrived at Shengbu Harbor, the golden mad lion led the officials out to greet him, and naturally it was a big and small banquet or something, needless to say, Han Wenzheng said at the banquet: "Everyone, Shengbu Harbor is the territory of my Yanhuang clan, I hope you can do your best to do things for my Yanhuang clan, and my Yanhuang clan will definitely not lose you." "All the officials have been saying their loyalty, but Han Wenzheng is going to believe that they are ghosts.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Han Wenzheng toasted the officials and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to hold a big meeting in five days at the port of St. Buluo, and the whole city will probably come to hear it, and at the meeting I will have several important things to announce. Count Marbony, as the lord of the city, immediately said: "Please rest assured, Patriarch, I will definitely arrange the venue properly, and in addition, I will send people to all places to inform that as many people as possible can come to the meeting." "Thank you, Your Excellency. "This is what subordinates should do, I don't know if the patriarch of the Dao Dao has any important things to announce, can we predict a little bit of the content of the Dao? Of course, if it is a matter of confidentiality, I didn't ask. "I'll wait until the meeting is ready. Han Wenzheng smiled and said.
In the city's large martial arts training ground, it can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people for meetings, and this time, Count Marberney can be said to have done his best, there are seven or eight hundred thousand people who come to participate in the meeting, it is really crowded, and the entire vast martial arts training ground is crowded. Of course, everyone knew that the meeting that Han Wenzheng said was just a unilateral announcement by the Yanhuang clan, and there would be no discussion at all, so no one would say anything before Han Wenzheng announced the start of the meeting.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting started on time, Han Wenzheng ascended the rostrum, through the formation, Han Wenzheng said: "All the people of Shengbu Port, now, you can say that you are all the people under the rule of my Yanhuang clan, and I have been running around for a period of time, there is no time to stay in Shengbu Port, I have not done anything for everyone, I have not brought any benefits to everyone, here, I apologize to everyone." With that, he bowed to all those present.
The people present immediately talked about it, and they didn't know what the hell Hanwen was doing. Han Wenzheng continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what your identity is, whether they are civilians or slaves, they are all the people of my Yanhuang tribe, and the first thing I want to announce here is that from now on, all the residents of my holy port will no longer be slaves, and there will be no slaves under the rule of my Yanhuang tribe. โ
What did Han Wenzheng say about abolishing slavery? No, what happened to make Han Wenzheng do this? All of a sudden, there was a great chaos in the meeting hall, and countless people asked aloud, but there were so many people that they basically couldn't hear the questions asked.
Sun Tiejian shouted: "Quiet." In this one shout, he has used the Taoist Xuangong "Thunder Nine Days", which is similar to the Buddhism's "head drink" has the same trick, for a time, the sound shook the audience, so that the audience was quiet.
Han Wenzheng said: " You don't have to be nervous, I didn't say that I want to liberate all the slaves on the Western Continent, because, the Western Continent is not the territory of my Yanhuang Clan, they are not the people under the rule of my Yanhuang Clan, all I can do is to liberate the slaves under my rule, all the slaves who belong to the Holy Buluo Port are no longer slaves from today onwards, and the original slave owners have suffered losses because of my orders, you can report your losses to the City Lord's Mansion, and my Yanhuang Clan will give you a reasonable compensation, no matter how much you lose, my Yanhuang Clan will not lose a copper coin from you, although we are going back to the Eastern Continent, but, I will leave enough gold coins to compensate for everyone's losses, but from now on, no more slaves will be allowed in Shengbu Harbor, and if I know that there is another one who owns slaves, my Yanhuang clan will also kill people. โ
Someone asked aloud: "Patriarch, what if it's a foreign slave?" "Of course I can't control it, what I have liberated is only the slaves in my territory now, I can't control the others, as long as it is not a slave that belongs to my holy port, I can't control it, everyone understands." Although there are quite a few people who are very dissatisfied, they also have no ability to resist the decision made by the Yanhuang clan, but what Han Wenzheng announced is really shocking and unacceptable for a while.
Han Wenzheng went on to say: " The second thing I want to announce is that from next month, all the cultivated land in my Shengbu Port will be nationalized, and no one will have the sovereignty of the cultivated land, and the sovereignty belongs to my Yanhuang clan, and the cultivated land you own now will no longer belong to you from next month, you can rest assured, I will compensate you according to the current market price, I have counted, there is a total of 300 million mu of cultivated land in the entire Shengbu Port, and according to the market price, it is about 9 billion gold coins, and I will double the compensation to you. "What is there to say about this? The land belongs to the Yanhuang tribe, and the people have already doubled the compensation, and even if they don't compensate, it is only a matter of one sentence that the people want to take it back, so after a few innocuous curses, there will be no more sound.
Han Wenzheng said: "The third thing is that now, there are a total of 3.46 million people in Shengbuluogang, and I will divide all the land equally among each person ten acres of cultivated land, so that all people can have land to grow and eat, and from now on, Shengbulugang will no longer collect any agricultural taxes. "This one is quite an uproar, it is not to collect agricultural tax, that is to say, from now on, farmers do not need to invite taxes to farm, which is of course too good for all farmers to be good, for a while, countless people cheered, farmers in the overall number is still the majority.
The faces of the officials are not very good-looking, and if they don't collect agricultural taxes, then their income will be much less in the future, which is definitely not a good thing, but they don't have the right to object, do they?
Han Wenzheng continued: "The fourth thing, after I distributed a large amount of cultivated land to the people of the city, there are still about 200 million acres of cultivated land left, and I am ready to recruit a group of farmers who help me farm among the people of the city. Second, you can get a salary of ten gold coins from me every month. Three, you don't have to work for me anymore after you are seventy years old (the average age of the inhabitants of the Western Continent is about one hundred, and retirement at seventy is not old), but you can still receive a salary of ten gold coins from me every month until the day you die. "And such a good thing, where to find this kind of good thing? Of course it's great.
There is nothing else, however, there are already more astute people who have guessed that the future of the port of Shengbu will definitely be more prosperous, that is, because there will be countless crops exported from the port of Shengbuluo, in this world, there is nothing more important than food and the like, as long as there is food that does not have to worry about not being able to sell it, there are a large number of merchants gathered, of course the port of Shengbu will be more prosperous.
After the meeting, Han Wenzheng called the Golden Lion to the Great Wall, and told him some plans, and told him a lot of things, telling him what he should do in the future, and the Golden Lion agreed to them one by one, including all aspects of the plan (of course, only about the economic plan of St. Buluogang).
For this first master of the Western Continent who sold himself to the Yanhuang clan, of course Han Wenzheng would not lose his place, a demon god armor, a high-grade spiritual weapon sword, a set of intermediate exercises, and countless money, which made the golden mad lion grateful, the so-called soldier died for his confidant, the Yanhuang clan treated him so sincerely, and it was not until the golden mad lion was not moved inexplicably, and he was willing to serve the Yanhuang clan in the future.
Han Wenzheng still appreciates the Golden Crazy Lion, because, the Golden Crazy Lion is a gentleman, although there are such and such problems in personality, but he is definitely a gentleman who promises a thousand gold, for such a person, Han Wenzheng is still more trusting, of course, it is still the inspection period, if the Golden Crazy Lion passes the test, Han Wenzheng can also consider including him in the Yanhuang clan and making him a member of the Yanhuang clan.
A group of Yanhuang people met with countless officials and civilians in the next ten days, explaining to them the new law announced by Han Wenzheng, so that every civilian went away happily, and after the news spread, all the people were speechless, and only the Yanhuang tribe would do such a thing if they did not treat money as money, of course, the hearts of the people of the two temples were not comfortable, the Pope of Light sighed and said:" The Yanhuang clan has already made a move, as soon as he makes a move, it is a trick, it is a yang scheme, we don't follow it, we don't do it, in the next few decades, the entire Western Continent will be in chaos. "It can be said that the Pope is still very strategically minded, but no matter how strategic he is, before the difference in knowledge is hundreds of millions of years, he is powerless to return to heaven, unless he really has so much courage, but that kind of atmosphere is not something ordinary people can have.
The slaves of the Western Continent all felt a little angry, at this moment, they felt that there was still hope for their lives, however, they were still waiting and watching, as for what they thought, even the gods didn't know what to do, but it was certain that if in the future, the Yanhuang Clan really waved the Western Continent, they would definitely get the support of countless slaves.
On March 7, 135 years of the new earth calendar, the Great Wall slowly left the port under the farewell of hundreds of thousands of people in Shengbu Port, countless slaves knelt on the ground to send each other, countless slaves burst into tears, countless civilians were in tears, they were lucky, because they were the people under the rule of the Yanhuang tribe, although they have not lived a happy life for the time being, but, it is certain that they don't even have to pay taxes, and the future days will definitely be better and better, and it is the source of happiness given to them by the Yanhuang tribeใ
Sun Tiejian also sighed and said: "Now, I finally understand what my father has to do for what he wants, it turns out that it is such a good thing to make so many people grateful." In the long whistle, the Great Wall gradually disappeared into the distance, disappeared from people's sight, and finally disappeared after the last day.
