Chapter 244 Grain Harvest
Chapter 244 Grain Harvest
Chapter 244 Grain Harvest
Outside Hanzhong
Everyone is busy
The faces of the people are filled with happy smiles.
This year's drought has not affected potato production.
After all, potatoes are a drought-tolerant crop.
"This year's potato production is gratifying!"
"The composting method recommended by my lord really works. My family's production has increased."
"Who doubted the lord's arrival back then, now you know the benefits!"
"I just didn't expect that my lord is a god and is so proficient in farming!"
"That's right, what would the gods not know?"
"My family's production has obviously increased a lot, so I can't doubt my lord's ability next time."
"Otherwise, the heart of the lord will be chilled!"
"exactly!!"
The common people chatted lively while harvesting.
Everyone chatted about topics related to Jiang Chen, of course, they mainly discussed the production of potatoes.
A yield of ten shi per mu is already an astonishing output, they think.
But now, the yield per mu is far more than that.
The common people were all happy in their hearts, and also worshiped Jiang Chen even more.
"Hurry up, put on the scale and calculate the quantity accurately!"
"You must not be sloppy, and you must not mistake the output of the people."
"Yes, my lord!"
Pang Tong was also busy there.
He called out all the officials in charge of taxation and asked them to come to the site to weigh,
Then take away what needs to be paid on site, so as to avoid the second time,
Adding trouble to the common people has become a tradition in Hanzhong City
At this time, all departments responsible for taxation are dispatched to record together.
Then they are responsible for loading the corresponding tax revenue into cars and sending them to the country's granary.
The officials and the people are also mingled together,
Let the people's fear of officials gradually shrink,
Everyone can also face officials normally, without being as panicked as before.
These officials are also being more loved by the people.
In the entire city of Hanzhong, they are like stars.
The common people know them well, and when they go out to buy things, the common people don't charge money when they see them.
This made these officials deeply feel what it means to have fun with the people.
They also realized that, perhaps, let the people respect them from the heart,
It is more meaningful than making them fear, and it will be remembered by history.
Thus, under the influence of Jiang Chen, a group of officials who were incompatible with this era also appeared in Hanzhong City.
They do practical things for the people, and the administration of officials is unprecedentedly clear at this moment.
"Pang Dayao, drink some water, you must be thirsty!"
"This is the heat-relieving tea prepared by the old woman!"
A woman came to Pang Tong with tea.
She was a little hesitant and a little scared, but she mustered up all her courage.
They all know that Pang Tong is the head of Hanzhong's internal affairs.
They live such a happy life, and they cannot do without Pang Tong's contribution.
Therefore, in Hanzhong City, the people also respect Pang Tong very much.
"Thank you old man!"
"Then I'm not welcome!"
Pang Tong took the tea with a smile and drank it all in one gulp, not dissing the roughness of the bowl at all.
"You are too polite!"
"Pang Da people work hard for us, and everyone can see it!"
"It's our honor to meet Mr. Pang Da!"
The old woman said with excitement.
"It's all thanks to the lord!"
"Pang is just following orders, just remember the goodness of the lord!"
"Pang is insignificant!"
Pang Tong said modestly.
"Shiyuan, when did you become so humble!"
"What should be yours is yours, and the common people know it in their hearts!"
"If you have paid, the common people will naturally remember it in their hearts, Shi Yuan, your popularity is almost comparable to mine!"
A slightly teasing voice reached his ears.
"Lord!"
"Meet the lord!"
The people around them saluted one after another. The lord is their god.
As long as this sky is still there, they are full of hope for the future.
The common people looked at Jiang Chen with admiration.
"Everyone, don't be polite!"
"Please hurry up, I'm just here to help!"
"You guys are going to scare me like this!"
"Ha ha."
Jiang Chen was joking with a smile.
"Lord, I'm serious, haha."
"My lord can really make jokes!!"
The people are all happy together, with such a respectable and amiable lord,
What difficulties do they have that they cannot overcome.
"How is it, is life difficult now?"
"If it really doesn't work, how about lowering the tax for you?"
"No matter how hard it is, the common people cannot suffer!"
Jiang Chen asked with concern.
"My lord, it is absolutely impossible!"
"It's only [-]% in the first place, if you drop it again, it will be gone!"
"The lord has already surrendered again and again, and the lord needs resources to govern Hanzhong City!"
"I and other ordinary people are already very grateful to Dade, and I want to pay more taxes!"
"Yes, my lord, don't worry about us!"
"We have all the food in the warehouse, and we must be full!"
"Yes, all the boys in my family have wives, and this is all due to the Lord!"
"If my lord surrenders again, we officials in Hanzhong will eat dirt. We are willing to pay more taxes to thank you adults!"
"Thank you for their dedication to the people!"
Those people had sincere smiles on their faces.
Hearing that Jiang Chen wanted to reduce taxes, all the people shook their heads and refused.
This may be the first time in history that people have opposed lowering taxes.
Because the taxes set by Jiang Chen are too low,
It's so low that even the common people think it's a bit too much.
Looking at the full warehouse of grain every day, they all feel a little ashamed of their lord.
I want to repay, but the food can't be sent out.
It can only be sent secretly, but the lord's detective agency is still very powerful.
Basically, they can be found, and then the food money will be delivered.
This made the people extremely helpless, and they could only bear in mind that their lord was good to them.
"In that case, let's not surrender for now!"
"When the war is over, I will subsidize you again!"
"The common people are the hardest ones, but we can't let everyone be wronged while working hard!"
"That's my fault!"
Jiang Chen helped those people who asked for help one by one,
The people wiped their tears with excitement,
None of them could express their complicated feelings at this moment in words.
I only hope that one day, when Jiang Chen really needs food and grass,
They will definitely donate without hesitation, and they also want to contribute their own efforts to this peaceful city.
If there is no Jiang Chen, how can they have everything?
"Lord, your words are strong!"
"I am not bitter at all, my heart is sweet!"
"Yes, I woke up laughing even in my dreams!"
"The life that I never dared to dream of before, the lord has helped us achieve it!"
"We will never forget the kindness of our lord!"
