Chapter 299 Three Things
On October 12, the sun is shining. This day is also the beginning of the autumn harvest, and the farmland is full of a bumper harvest.
Xia Hanqiu sat in an inconspicuous carriage and looked at the hot scene outside. She could still see such a scene in the unstable world, at least indicating that the pavilion under their rule is still stable.
Chen Chen picked up his spirit and rode on one side. Although he did not agree with the little sister's light travel, he had to admit that looking at the scene in front of him can really increase hope in people's hearts, and it's worth it to feel tired.
Approaching the horse and looking at the little sister with a soft expression, Chen Chen asked, "This season is extra. Are you going to expropriate all of them or something?"
"This year's collection cost is good. Even if you pay taxes, you can still be full. I plan to expropriate 70% of the extra this season, and I will buy the other 30% at a relatively low price. What do you think, brother?"
"The attack is more ruthless than I thought. I thought you had expropriated up to 50%, but you are already very kind compared with other places. It's right to be kind to the people, but you have to guard against them from taking an inch. This season, even the seeds are provided by the government, and they have given their strength. You are still ...That's you. Try it with someone else."
Xia Hanqiu didn't put gold on his face. He smiled and said, "Now give them benefits, and it will naturally be useful to them in the future. Well, let's see it and go back."
Outside the gate, there were still many people stranded. Xia Hanqiu raised the curtain and looked at it for a long time. It was not that she was not soft-hearted, but she knew that she could not be soft-hearted.
If there are only one or two people of unknown origin, they will be put into the city, but there are more than 70 people. If she is soft-hearted, who will bear the consequences?
I went to the government in silence all the way. Before Xia Hanqiu sat down, she ordered, "Uncle Ming, please run an errand for me and inform every family member of the record here. The first page of the paper will come to the government gate tomorrow, and the second page of the paper will come tomorrow. Just say that I have something to discuss.
"Yes." Mingde took it over and took a look. He retreated out in silence. He had to finish it all. I'm afraid it would take a lot of time and hurry up.
The rich harvest of rice in the second season has spread. Let alone whether others have the courage to follow the trend, the more than ten people who first followed Xia Hanqiu have planted on their own farms. Other things can't help, but they also want to do their best in food.
And the people who failed to take advantage of this matter regretted it. At this time, they were summoned, no matter what they were thinking.
After the front and back courtyards are opened. Xia Hanqiu was the only one who was still working in the front yard. The half occupied by the man was basically moved to the backyard. The empty room opened three main rooms under Xia Hanqiu's order, and it was no problem to accommodate hundreds of people.
This is the first time to be used.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Chen, who rarely appeared, also came, probably to suppress the pregnant princess. Although they didn't know what the princess wanted to do by summoning so many people.
When these two people sat there, even if someone waited impatiently, they didn't dare to do anything. They just muttered in their hearts that the princess was so arrogant.
Of course, there are a lot of people sitting together and whispering in twos and threes.
The two old people can't hear it, and they close their eyes to refresh themselves.
"The princess is coming." I don't know who shouted. Everyone looked at the door. Sure enough, the princess with a straight stomach held the maid's hand and came in. The steps were not fast, and the step by step were so steady that the people who had been waiting for some impetuous also calmed down.
And she was followed by several women, some of whom looked indifferent and some were nervous. Even those who were nervous, they looked a little calm inside.
"I didn't expect to disturb you both."
The two old men got up to salute. Xia Hanqiu quickly stopped, "Just for the child in my stomach, don't salute. He can't stand it."
The two of them felt comfortable when they heard it. Xu Lao said with a crutch, "Your Highness can't stand it. It's just that the princess understands us two old guys. Princess, please take a seat."
Xia Hanqiu was no longer polite. He sat down in the first place, looked around, and said in front of the crowd's salute, "In this office, I'm an accountant in charge of money, not the princess. I don't need the gift. Let's all sit down."
Everyone looked at each other in consterance. Some of them took the lead in sitting down with a wink. Someone took the lead, and the people behind naturally followed.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I have a few things to discuss with you."
After a glance, Xia Hanqiu continued: "You must have heard about General Yu's departure from the city with a large army the day before yesterday, and you must have guessed in your heart. Yes, just as you guessed, the front is tight. General Yu is leading troops to reinforce."
"Many people have gone there. What if it is difficult in Huiting City?"
No matter who said this, Xia Hanqiu just let her answer and said, "That's why I called you here. Without these many people to defend the city, not to mention you, even I don't have enough confidence, so I want to discuss with you and borrow the guards of each family and the powerful family. Ding Yi's use.
As soon as this was said, no one spoke for a long time. The Wu family received Wu Linlang's win-catching look and asked the doubts in the bottom of their hearts, "Princesss, it's not that we don't want to respond to you, it's just... You know, we are all a big family, and the Even if you go to bed at night, you have to open your eyes.
"It's not that I borrow someone and won't pay it back, but to communicate with you in case. They only need to go to the military camp to practice during the day and go back to their own homes at night. If there is really that, they can also play a role. They not only protect Huiting City, but also protect you. If it The guard has been trained, and you won't suffer any losses.
It sounds like this reason, but they always feel that they have suffered a loss. No matter how much Wu Linlang hinted, the Wu family stopped talking and hated Wu Linlang. All of them had no vision, and the mud could not hold the wall!
"Old man, there are some guards in my family. When is the princess going to use them?"
The old man's voice came from Mr. Chen. Xia Hanqiu looked at him and said, "The sooner the better. It's okay to send them to the barracks."
"The old man will liquidate the manpower when he goes back and send it tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"Old guy, you just talk fast, princess, it's also my old man's share."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Xia Hanqiu was secretly grateful to the two old men for getting this head. She knew that she could not be rushed at this time, and she had to give others some opportunities to consider and persuade, so she said, "I don't force you, but I just want you to know that since you are rooted in this Huiting City, then this Huiting City is full of glory The foundation of the restoration of the country, if major events can be achieved, Huiting will definitely be the capital. At that time, you will be the meritorious officials. Whether it is Bai Yu or the prince, you will remember your merits. Presumably, you have always wanted to be a person of the State of Liang, not a second-class person who is inferior
This said in the hearts of everyone present. Even if they are confident that even if the city of Huiting City changes, they can still be rich and noble, but they are still willing to be people of the State of Liang. Just like a few years ago, Huiting was first occupied by the State of Yan and then taken away by the State of Fujian, but they always For.
If the State of Liang can really succeed in recovering the country and become the co-owner of the world, they will wake up with a smile in their dreams, but at present, they really don't dare to think too good.
If the State of Fujian is a towering tree, then the State of Liang is a small sapling that has just been planted. Even if it is a famous species, even if it is not afraid of the wind and rain, it is still far away from the day when it can grow up to be separated from the towering tree. In this process, there are The root has been pulled out!
But in the end, this little tree is still thriving now. If they can help, maybe it will grow fast, and maybe there will be no day when it will be uprooted...
The Meng family came to Meng Ningzhi's father Meng Runze today. Last night, his daughter came back with her stomach in the company of her uncle. For this daughter, which he did not dare to recognize, the He family would not wait to look at her. The Meng family is worse than the He family, and of course, it is more important.
"No matter what the princess asks, the Meng family needs to agree, don't care about the present." Thinking of his daughter's words, Meng Runze stood up and seconded, "I will also send my family's escort to the barracks early tomorrow morning."
"Your Excellency is..."
"I'm Meng Runze, Princess Wan'an."
Xia Hanqiu looked at Meng Ningzhi sitting at him and nodded slightly, "I wrote it down."
Immediately after another, some people stood up to express their position, but a considerable number of them did not speak. Maybe they were still watching, or they couldn't make up their minds for a moment. No matter what they thought about Xia Hanqiu, they were not in a hurry. Everyone had the mentality of following the crowd. So many people got up in order not to It's about this.
"The second thing is that there are more and more people coming to the pavilion, and each family is not allowed to take them in privately. There are two reasons. First, I'm afraid that they are spies sent by other countries. It's dangerous for you to hide in your homes. It's not easy for us to search for people. In
Seeing that everyone did not object, Xia Hanqiu continued: "As for the last thing... It's October now, and this year is a bumper harvest. I believe that all families have put grain in the warehouse, and the grain collection cannot be collected from you. I don't ask you to contribute for free, but I must ensure that there will be continuous grain How about buying it at a price acceptable to both parties?
Every room looked at each other. They didn't expect that the princess's questions would be more and more difficult for them to answer, or Meng Runze said first, "I don't know if the price that the princess said that both sides can accept is..."
"It's certain that it's lower than the market, but it's also a little higher than what grain merchants buy from the people."
"I'm against it." RO
