sorry! "
Tang Ping stood at the front and sincerely apologized to the people of Xiaoluzhuang.
Although he said he wanted everyone to stay, he ultimately deceived them.
Now that everything has been decided, Tang Ping will of course explain the matter clearly in public.
"So...are you really Duke Ping?" Lu Dashu asked in disbelief.
"I am indeed Tang Ping. Whether it was about the poll tax or the rumors that people would be arrested and sent to my place to mine coal, these were all rumors spread by lawless elements."
"Then...then...what about those we dug up? Where are the treasures?"
"I ordered people to bury them in the ground, so I want to apologize to everyone."
Of course Tang Ping knew that after the matter was explained clearly, some of the villagers here might still blame him.
After all, they had dreamed of getting rich for several days, but it turned out to be a lie made up by themselves. Now that the dream is shattered, some villagers will definitely throw the blame on Tang Ping.
But it doesn't matter to him, as long as he has a clear conscience.
Sure enough, after these people repeatedly confirmed Tang Ping's identity and the treasure in the field, many people kept silent because of Tang Ping's identity, but they were definitely dissatisfied with him in their hearts.
There was nothing Tang Ping could do about it. This was human nature. The villagers might thank him for saving their land and not leaving their hometowns because of the rumors, but they would also blame him for his deception.
After Tang Ping finished explaining, the villagers left with some curses.
But some of them gave back the items and the 200 money as a deposit.
Tang Ping naturally didn't collect it. It was just daily dishes, but for these villagers, it was still a good thing.
As for the 200 yuan, just treat it as compensation to them.
The people had almost left, leaving only Lu Dashu and his family standing there in embarrassment.
After all, they only received 200 coins, but he received 30 coins.
His child, Gou Wa Zi, pulled his sleeve and muttered something. Lu Dashu stamped his feet, and then took out a lot of money from home before the villagers left.
"Ping Guo Gong, I have used a little of the 30 guan in the past few days, and the rest is here. I would like to write an IOU to you, and I will pay you back slowly in the future when I earn it."

Tang Ping didn't expect that he would repay the money, and he had no intention of asking the other party to repay the money. Thirty guan was necessary for the show. Lu Dashu could only get this money because he was lucky, just like buying lottery tickets.
"Lu Dashu, you don't need to give me this money..."
Before Tang Ping could finish speaking, Lu Dashu shook his head and interrupted: "Ping Guo Gong, this money must be paid back to you!"
After saying that, he looked at his children: "My Gouwazi is right. In this world, things are not about scarcity but about inequality. A few days ago, everyone thought they could sell their treasures for huge sums, so in the village, we are just It’s just the first person to get the money.”
"But now the truth is clear. If my family is the only one who takes this money, we will inevitably have trouble with the villagers in the future. Moreover, after taking this money these days, my family is really not living a stable life. Many relatives who have not interacted with each other in the past Everyone comes to borrow money one after another. If I don’t borrow it, I’ll offend others. If I borrow it, I’m worried that they won’t pay it back, so it’s better to return the money to you. Our family has the resources and legs, and our days are getting better day by day. We live our lives. Just split the day and it’ll be fine.”
Tang Ping looked at Lu Dashu and his son in surprise. At first, he thought these villagers were ignorant and deceitful, but he did not expect that both Gou Wazi and Lu Dashu had their own unique views on wealth.
Especially the child, who looked about the same size as Li Bai, could actually say that he was not worried about the scarcity but the inequality.
"Has this kid been to school?"
"I never went to school, but I learned calligraphy on the county government fence. Sometimes when we sold firewood to the county school, he would go and listen secretly."
Tang Ping looked at the two of them, nodded and said, "Since you returned the money, I will accept it."
The money is always there, and it is obvious that only the money has been broken up, and there are probably only a few dozen coins missing.
Tang Ping counted 200 yuan from it and gave it to Lu Dashu: "Gou Wazi also said that it is not about scarcity but about inequality. Since everyone else has compensated 200 yuan, then I will also treat you with the 200 yuan."
Lu Dashu looked at the 200 dollars, nodded, and took it carefully.
"Would you like to study in the county school?" Tang Ping asked Gou Wazi.
Gouwazi's eyes lit up. He originally had a lot of expectations, but in the end he didn't speak. Instead, he shook his head.
"You don't want to go?" Tang Ping asked again.
"I want to go
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, but... I have to help the family. "
"What a sensible child!" Tang Ping couldn't help but sigh. It's true that children of poor people become rich early.
"Do you think something like the keel waterwheel and the Tang plow are powerful?" Tang Ping asked instead of trying to persuade him.
"Of course it's great!" Gou Wazi nodded: "The waterwheel and Tang Li saved us a lot of effort. Because of this, my father was able to cultivate several more acres of land, which is enough for the family to eat."
"Yes, but many of those things can only be done after studying!" Tang Ping touched his head: "If you are willing to study hard, I can recommend you to go to the county school first and master the basics. After you have learned something, come to Chang'an to find me, and you can learn more things."
As he spoke, he smiled slightly: "Many people who study with me can make money to support their families while studying, but I only teach smart children. How about it? Do you want to give it a try?"
"I want to!" Hearing that he could earn money to support his family while studying, Gouwazi finally made up his mind.
"By the way, do you have a famous name?" Tang Ping was a little curious. Of course he knew that in the countryside, many villagers would give their children nicknames in order to make a living.
"Yes. On the day I was born, my father happened to see a rock, so he named me Lu Yan. My grandfather also saw a big tree when my father was born, so he named him Big Tree. Hehehe !」
Lu Yan grinned, while his father, Lu Dashu, had a dark look on his face, pretending to slap him.
Of course he knew it was fake and just smiled and avoided it.
At this point, the matter in Pingyu County is basically settled.
Tang Ping also let the people who were sent to Yao Yuanzhi in front of them make their own choices. If they wanted to stay in Baozi City, they could stay there.
After all, Baozicheng has allocated fields to them, and they can be exempted from agricultural taxes for three years.
At present, the commercial tax in the Tang Dynasty has not yet been fully rolled out, and the agricultural tax has not yet been cancelled.
If they are unwilling, Tang Ping will arrange for someone to send them back to their original places, and their original fields will be returned to them.
After all, this is where they have always lived.
