Zhang Shigui said, "County Magistrate, I have another thing to report."
Now that he had a foothold, he had to do his best.
In short, he had to handle things well.
This was the only way to gain Luo Binwang's trust, and then Du Qi's trust.
Luo Binwang said, "What is it? Just say it."
Zhang Shigui said, "Now that we've destroyed the Dong Family and the other two families, we've killed them to establish our might. In addition, according to the plan, I'll also announce their crimes tomorrow morning to let the people know. "
"However, I still don't think it's appropriate."
"It's not safe enough."
"I think we can further win the people's hearts from other aspects and make them trust you."
Zhang Shigui said in a deep voice, "The simplest way is to reduce the corvee and taxes. When Bennelu was around, he wanted to do something. The problem was that Bennelu's taxes were very strict, causing the people and merchants to have a hard time. So now, as long as we reform the taxes, we'll definitely get the support of countless people. "
Luo Binwang nodded after hearing this.
Not bad! Not bad!
Zhang Shigui, this fellow, was truly capable.
Luo Binwang said, "What you mentioned is indeed not bad. Tomorrow morning, I'll go outside the southern city with you. At that time, you'll announce the crimes of the Dong Family first, and then I'll announce the order. "
"Yes!"
Zhang Shigui replied again.
He was very happy in his heart.
Compared to the past, when he was a hooligan, he was full of fighting spirit now, and he wanted to fulfill his ambitions.
Luo Binwang waved his hand, and Zhang Shigui turned around and left.
He went to do his own things.
Although it was almost dawn, the news in the city was still spreading. Zhang Shigui was now famous for his ruthlessness in Pandu County. In a day, he became famous in Pandu County.
In the past, Zhang Shigui was just a spy from Mount Fuyang. He was planted in Pandu County to prepare for the county's affairs. Now, because he slaughtered the three families, countless people knew about him.
In the entire city, the people in the streets and alleys were talking about Zhang Shigui.
It was just that Zhang Shigui used to be a spy who did some small business. No one knew where he came from. So the people talked about him, but they didn't know.
In just one day, the matter had completely fermented.
When the sky was about to turn dark, the government arranged for people to beat gongs and drums to announce in the city that they would announce the crimes of the three great clans tomorrow morning and summon all citizens to attend.
When the news spread out, the commoners were all excited and looked forward to it.
The three great clans were like vermin.
The three great clans ruled over countless lands and controlled countless lifeline resources. Now that the three great clans had been destroyed, many commoners were looking forward to seeing if the government would spare them a little.
This was what the people were looking forward to.
The next morning.
Early in the morning, there were already countless citizens gathered outside the southern city of Pan Du County.
Many commoners had gathered around the execution ground.
He waited quietly.
The commoners discussed Zhang Shigui and the families that had been killed. The vast majority of the people supported the government in slaughtering the three great clans. The reason was very simple. The three great clans occupied countless resources and countless lands. The people could only rely on the three great clans to survive by renting the lands of the three great clans.
Without the three great clans, things would naturally be different.
At the very least, it would be better.
Therefore, although the commoners were afraid of Zhang Shigui's murderous intent, they actually admired him in their hearts.
While the commoners were discussing, Zhang Shigui and Luo Binwang arrived.
Zhang Shigui went up the stage first.
He was holding a book in his hand. On it were the detailed crimes of the Dong, Shangguan, and Hong families.
In front of everyone, Zhang Shigui looked calm. After shouting for silence, he began to announce the crimes of the three great clans one by one.
Just this matter alone took almost two hours to explain.
This showed how evil the three great clans were.
When the commoners heard this, they gnashed their teeth in hatred and thought that the three great clans were despicable.
They had killed countless people.
After Zhang Shigui announced all the crimes, he finally said, "Fellow citizens, the three great clans have been executed. The current Pan Du County is very different and has entered a new phase. Now, let's invite the new county magistrate, Lord Luo Binwang, to speak. He will explain some of the next administrative measures. "
Luo Binwang walked up the stage.
The gazes of the people all landed on Luo Binwang, their eyes filled with anticipation.
What the commoners wanted was actually very simple.
They wanted a glimmer of hope.
They wanted to be able to live a basic life.
As long as the commoners could live, they were the most simple people.
Luo Binwang shouted, "Believe me, I am Luo Binwang, the new county magistrate of Pan Du. This official will not talk about how Nicholas and Benelux governed, because everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they are very clear about the situation. "
"Now, it's me who governs."
"I promise that in the next three years, the people of Pan Du County will be exempted from agricultural taxes and will no longer collect agricultural taxes. In addition, the people of Pan Du County will be exempted from corvee labor and will no longer collect corvee labor for the next three years. "
As soon as Luo Binwang finished speaking, the surrounding people cheered.
Many commoners cheered.
They were all excited.
The reason was very simple. Luo Binwang was exempted from agricultural taxes and corvee labor for three years.
For the commoners, this was an opportunity.
It was also an opportunity.
Even if they rented land to farm, as long as there was no corvee labor and taxes, they could live a good life. At least, they would not have to worry about their next meal.
The cheers continued.
There were also countless people who praised Luo Binwang.
Zhang Shigui stood below and watched this crazy scene. He felt even more emotional.
As expected of Luo Binwang.
As expected of Du Qi's direct descendant.
The moment he made a move, it was a big move.
One had to know that three years of taxes and corvee labor was not a small amount.
However, Zhang Shigui also knew that if this order was carried out, Luo Binwang's position in the hearts of the commoners would be unshakable and unshakable.
Luo Binwang looked at the cheering commoners and waited quietly. He did not speak for the time being.
Time passed bit by bit.
After a while, the cheers stopped.
Everyone's gazes once again landed on Luo Binwang.
Luo Binwang continued, "Folks, taxes and corvee labor are only two major adjustments. Now, the Dong Family, the Shangguan Family, and the Hong Family have been destroyed, and the three families have been sealed up. All the land of the three families has been taken over by the government. In addition, there is a lot of land in the original Pan Du County that belongs to the government. "
"Now, the land of the government will be reorganized. Then, the land will be rented to you according to your household registration. "
"The government will not collect rent."
"The land will be free for you to cultivate."
"However, you will not be allowed to buy or sell it."
Luo Binwang continued, "Of course, once someone dies, the land will be taken back by the government and distributed to the newborn children. In short, the government will not collect a single penny from the people. The land will be free for you to cultivate. "
Boom!!!
The sound of discussion immediately rose into a frenzy.
Countless commoners immediately became excited and incomparably excited.
Although the land belonged to the government, they could cultivate it for free.
This was something that had never happened before.
In the past hundred years, the land under the rule of the Great Qin Empire had been distributed to the commoners. However, now, the annexation of land was getting more and more serious. Many commoners had no land to cultivate.
Many commoners could no longer earn money to support their families. They could no longer support their families through farming.
Now, it was different.
Countless people were very excited.
The voices were louder and louder. All the commoners were cheering.
Some even shouted, "Long live Luo Binwang."
Hearing such voices, Luo Binwang raised his hand and gestured for the commoners to quiet down. A moment later, the cries of the crowd completely disappeared. Their eyes were filled with gratitude and excitement as they glanced at Luo Binwang with gratitude.
Luo Binwang said, "Folks, I agree with the policies that I've explained. I also hope that you can live a good life. However, these policies and orders were all arranged by the new County Governor, Du Qi. "
"In fact, not only Pan Du County, but also Fushan County and Yongye County."
"This is all thanks to Lord Du."
"Lord Du is the one who thinks about you and wants you to live a good life."
"Long live Lord Du!"
Luo Binwang changed his attitude and shouted Du Qi's name.
His thinking was very simple. The person with the highest prestige had to be Du Qi. He could not be the one with the highest prestige.
This was not appropriate.
