Chapter 455 The Surnames See Hope
Chapter 455 The Common People See Hope
"You woman knows what a fart!"
"If the lord hadn't taken us in back then, how could we have lived such a good life?"
"Now the lord has a request, how can we not agree?"
"Aren't you ashamed to say this?? How can we do things that are wrong to the lord? Isn't that even inferior to animals?"
"Don't say this next time, so as not to teach the child badly!"
Hearing the woman's words, the man immediately yelled, causing a series of coughing sounds, which frightened the old woman:
"Master, the old woman is wrong!"
"The old woman won't talk anymore, please don't get excited!"
"My lord is indeed kind to our family for rebuilding. Back then, we were about to change sons and eat!"
The woman quickly helped the man up and kept patting his back, a trace of shame flashed in her eyes.
"Is Old Li there??"
At this moment, a voice came into the ears of several people.
"Village chief, what are you?"
Old Li looked up and saw the village chief just walked in from the door, and behind him were several officials, which shocked the woman a lot.
Could it be that she said bad things about the lord just now, they came to arrest their own man.
Thinking of this, her complexion changed drastically. Just as she was about to kowtow to let these officials spare his man, just arrest her, but the village chief spoke ahead of time.
"Old Li, don't be afraid!"
"This is the magistrate of Huayin County!"
Hearing the village chief's words, that old Li's expression changed, and he struggled to stand up and salute.
But he was supported by the county magistrate.
"Old Li, don't do this, the county is ashamed!"
"Your family has made great contributions to Hanzhong, and the county didn't deal with it immediately!"
"The county was severely reprimanded by the lord today, and today is to make amends!"
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he bowed directly to Old Li.
This scene brought tears to the eyes of the common people. They did not expect these officials to respect them so much, which made them feel understood and respected.
"Master County Magistrate, absolutely not, the old man is a grassroots, how can he be worthy of the county magistrate's gift!"
"Get up quickly!"
Old Li was so anxious that he burst into tears and wanted to help, but his body was not up to par, so he could only worry there.They are just a group of untouchables, what can they do?
"Thank you, Old Li, for your understanding!"
"The county came here today to greet the people in the village who served hard labor last time. In addition to giving each village a pig to show the lord's concern for everyone!"
"The lord also specially asked the subordinate officials to arrange the people who paid for Hanzhong last time, so that they can't live up to their trust in Hanzhong!"
When the county magistrate said this, he paused and continued:
"In this regard, my lord has something to say. For the people who gave up their fields to build rivers last time, they will be compensated with double the amount of land. And all of them are fertile paddy fields!"
"It is absolutely impossible to chill the hearts of those people who have paid!"
"These are the original words of the lord, please accept my apology, old man Li, otherwise, I will definitely be sent back to farm by the lord!"
The county magistrate said to Old Li with a sincere face.
"Lord county magistrate, the grassroots dare not!"
"As long as the original land is compensated, the lord can think of us, and we are already grateful!"
"Yeah, if everyone didn't have the lord, they would have starved to death long ago!"
"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to take more land from the lord, and those who have been rewarded will be rewarded to those who have made meritorious deeds!"
Old Li insisted on not accepting double the amount of land.
If he really accepted it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for him, anyway, he couldn't break this exception.
"Old Li, this is the master's order!"
"In the future, there will be many projects in Hanzhong, which may require land acquisition and road construction, etc., and compensation will be made according to this standard!"
"The purpose is not to let the people suffer in vain!"
"After all, you have already lost this year's harvest, and twice the compensation is the rule!"
"Please don't embarrass the officer!"
The county magistrate expressed emotion, if it was in someone else's territory, if there was land given to the people, the people would definitely accept it immediately without saying a word.
But here, it is really strange, the people are all very humble.
They were all really influenced by Jiang Chen's charm, the common people are very simple and kind existences, they certainly know in their hearts who is the one who really treats them well.
Those who are good to them, they will repay double!
Jiang Chen maintained the dignity of the common people, and the common people naturally supported Jiang Chen incomparably.
"Besides, my lord has also confessed about your illness, Mr. Li, all those who fell ill due to the digging of the river channel last time must be treated by the doctor for free!"
"And will compensate you for the wages of the few days of illness, so that you can all recuperate with peace of mind!"
"I can serve the Lord better in the future!"
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he uttered another blockbuster.
The people on the inner three floors and the outer three floors were surrounded outside. After hearing the county magistrate's words, they were all very moved, but they also felt very guilty.
I used to think that the government would definitely not care about their lives and would give them some wasteland, but I didn't expect that they were too petty.
The compensation given by the officials was richer than they imagined.
If they had known that there would be such compensation, the common people would not be so uneasy these days. However, this is also understandable, after all, the land is what the common people rely on for survival.
If the people lose their land, it is like losing half of their lives.
"My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"It's land compensation, medical treatment, and labor wages!"
"You're slapping us in the face. Last time you made the lord sick, we are all ashamed!"
"My lord, just give us an old face. We will cure the disease ourselves, and we have to treat it ourselves. We must not bother your lord any more!"
Old Li, who originally didn't want to treat himself, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Such a good lord, he must not be able to drag the lord back, saying that he must cure the disease, and then grow the land, and pay more food to the officials in the future.
In order to repay the lord's kindness to them.
"Everyone, these are the regulations stipulated by the lord himself!"
"If I don't do it, my lord will certainly dismiss me!"
"You should be pitiful and pitiful officials. I want to get closer to you more and serve you well. I was completely woken up by the lord's scolding!"
County magistrate Wang An looked at everyone pitifully. He never thought that a job that was not difficult at all would be so difficult here.
There are people who don't want benefits, this is the first time he has heard of it!
"My lord's kindness, we have nothing to repay!"
"Yes! We can only accept it brazenly, and hope to have the opportunity to repay the Lord in the future!"
Old Li and the others nodded, and had no choice but to accept Jiang Chen's wishes.This is something they simply cannot refuse, just like Jiang Chen never refused them.
