After hearing Yang Xiao's words, the people in the City of Hope were stunned, and then burst into warm applause. Everyone shouted loudly:
"good!"
"This group of bad guys from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce should be punished. How much money have they defrauded us over the years."
"Well done City Lord Yang!"
"Long live City Lord Yang!"
...
The crowd screamed loudly.
Yang Xiao waved to everyone, indicating that everyone should be quiet.
Everyone immediately shut up and Yaque was silent.
Yang Xiao rose into the air, about five meters above the ground, stood in mid-air, and said loudly:
"Brothers and sisters, fellow compatriots, our City of Hope can survive today and defeat the coalition forces of the Eight-claw Empress and others. This is the credit of all of us.
Here, as the city lord, I, Yang Xiao, would like to thank everyone,
I declare that anyone who dies in the battle today will receive a consolation fee of one thousand wafers for his family, and the whole family will be exempted from city protection fees from now on.
If there are children at home, City of Hope will be responsible for raising them until they are 18 years old! "
Everyone was excited when they heard this, and some had tears in their eyes.
In Central Continent, there are very few city lords who care about the lives of ordinary citizens and respect them like Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao continued:
"Starting today, management fees for everyone in the city will be exempted for three years. After three years, they will be levied at a preferential price. As long as we can maintain the city's basic operating expenses, we will charge as little as possible."
"yeah!"
"Long live City Lord Yang!"
Everyone cheered loudly, and people knelt down around the square. Immediately afterwards, men, women, old and young all knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Xiao excitedly.
"Thank you City Lord Yang!"
"City Lord Yang is a good man!"
"Long live City Lord Yang!"
...
The news spread to the city instantly, and the women, children and elderly people in the city also cheered.
Suo Nan, Elder Ma, the two deputy city lords, and the six thousand or so captive guards all looked at Yang Xiao and the citizens of the City of Hope in confusion.
The shock in the hearts of Suo Nan, Elder Ma and others was extraordinary. Yang Xiao's successive people-friendly preferential policies had completely won over the hearts of these citizens. No wonder these citizens and the guards fought so hard just now.
Rather than saying that these people are fighting for Yang Xiao, it is better to say that they are fighting for themselves.
And the sixty-seven captured guards were filled with envy and jealousy. Damn it, why didn’t we meet such a good city lord?
Yang Xiao waved to everyone, and everyone became quiet again.
Yang Xiao turned around and said to the captive guards:
"Brothers from Shuize City, Firebird City and Cold Wind Valley, we have never known each other without fighting. From today on, your three cities will belong to me, Yang Xiao. Are you willing to follow me?"
Those guards who were envious and jealous of the citizens of the City of Hope just now heard Yang Xiao's words and immediately agreed in unison:
"willing!"
"City Lord Yang, we are willing to follow you."
"good!"
Yang Xiao nodded. He didn't even bother to look at Suo Nan and the other two deputy city lords. The current situation was completely under his control.
"I declare that from today on, the three cities of Cold Wind Valley, Shuize City, and Firebird City will belong to me. I will exempt the citizens of the city from protection fees for three months. After three months, I will provide a new system. I, Yang Xiao, promise that all of you, your children, parents, and family members will be able to live and work in peace and contentment and live happily!"
Of the seven thousand captive guards, only a little over a thousand were from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, and most of them were from the three cities.
These people were very happy after hearing this, and they all bowed to Yang Xiao and said:
"Thank you City Lord Yang!"
"We are willing to follow City Lord Yang to the death."
When Suo Nan and the two deputy city lords saw this scene, they sighed inwardly. They knew that it was impossible for these people to follow them anymore.
Yang Xiao waved his hand and continued:
"I know that most of your daily necessities in these three cities are bought from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce. The Vulture Chamber of Commerce uses its organizational advantages to monopolize the supply of daily necessities for many years. The price is more than ten times higher than outside.
From today on, I encourage you to form your own caravan and jointly purchase goods from outside. All shops and vendors engaged in commerce will be exempted from transaction tax.
Did you know that the current price of daily necessities in our City of Hope is only about half of what it was before? This alone can save you a lot of money and make your family live a better life. "
"City Lord Yang, is it true?"
someone asked excitedly.
Yang Xiao smiled and said,
"You can go to the market in the City of Hope later. Many people have come to shop with us and know a lot about us. How could I lie to you?"
"City Lord Yang, if I quit the guard team and form a commodity transportation team, would you agree?"
"I agree, why not? If you can transport the goods here at a favorable price, it will be a great thing to serve the people of the city. Compared with guarding the city, the function is not bad at all.
Of course, there is a long way to go from the Central Continent to the outside cities, and there are many monsters, so you must do it at your own risk. "
Among the crowd, many guards and captives had already begun to discuss forming a caravan.
Elder Ma on the side felt bitter in his heart when he saw this situation.
Yang Xiao continued:
“I once told the citizens of City of Hope that our City of Hope will be a city with a population of five million in the future, and our city is still expanding.
In the future, if you are willing to immigrate to the City of Hope, we welcome you. You can also stay in your original city if you are willing.
I will establish three primary genetic evolution schools in Shuize City, Firebird City and Cold Wind Valley, so that your children can receive genetic evolution training from an early age.
When they are older, they can come to the Genetic Training Academy in City of Hope to receive higher-level training.
Of course, free for all students! "
The captive guards in the three cities cheered loudly after hearing this.
Someone knelt down.
"Thank you City Lord Yang!"
"Thank you City Lord Yang!"
Finally, all the captive guards knelt down.
Yang Xiao discovered that no matter whether it is the earth, the Purple Source Star, the Witch Star, or the dwarf star, all parents attach the same importance to their children's education.
Children are the hope and future of a family, the future of a nation, a country, and a planet.
Any policy that can capture children will eventually win the support of all ordinary people.
Yang Xiao now cannot move everyone to the City of Hope in a short time. If he wants to control the citizens of other cities, the best way is to let their children come to the City of Hope to study and train.
These children are the hostages.
In the future, when they grow up, they will still work in the City of Hope. Even if their parents are still in other cities for the time being, they will definitely support Yang Xiao's rule.
