"Have you heard? The Luo family, the Fan family, and the Tao family were all arrested!"
"We have all heard that it is said that those three families ordered people to do it for those who drowned, but it seems that it is more than just those things!"
"Yes! Fortunately, we met Master Ju Luju to investigate, and we just found out so many things! Otherwise, what a disaster it would have been for us in Luoyin!" On the streets of Luoyin City, people followed The news that the three families were arrested spread, and more and more people were talking about this matter.
And when they learned that those three families had sent people to kill those who drowned, all the people were happy that the three families were caught.
On the streets. Tian Ding, Lin Anshun, and Xunzhou had already changed out of their official uniforms and were walking on the street, listening to the comments of the people around them.
After the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, Tian Ding wanted to go out for a walk. After all, the mansion he lived in belonged to Bai Yan, and Bai Yan's eyes were on him. Tian Ding was naturally not happy sometimes, so he came out to relax.
"Bai Yan, he clearly told the people about this matter and he was the one who did it. The people will definitely admire and trust him in the future, and he has gained the reputation and the people's support. But now he deliberately conceals it and returns all the credit to Ju Lu." Xunzhou said softly. , looking at the people around him, frowning slightly as he listened to the comments full of praise for Ju Lv.
In Xunzhou's eyes, it was all Bai Yan's fault. If Bai Yan hadn't planned each and every one of them, and even helped Ju Lv behind, it would have been nothing more than wishful thinking for Ju Lv to solve the case and dig out the past crimes of the three families in one fell swoop.
"Perhaps Bai Yan wanted to promote Na Ju Lu. After all, Na Ju Brigade is indeed a talented person. However, after more than ten years in Xianyang, he still has nothing to do." Lin Anshun explained.
However, Tian Ding, one of the three, did not comment on this matter.
"Look! There's a new order!"
"Really, a new order has been issued!!!" Suddenly, some people hurried past Tian Ding and others, saying something.
See this. Tian Ding and Lin Anshun looked at each other, and then came forward with their followers. soon. At a street corner, with a notice posted next to a shop, all the people gathered around Qin officials.
After the two Qin officials posted the notice, they turned to look at the people around them and shouted loudly.
"General Zuo Geng has an order. From now on, all the old and weak who have no children under Luoyin can ascend the throne in the government. In the future, the general's government will pay for the people to farm the fields and pay a share of the harvest. If there is another word, starting immediately , All merchants crossing the Luoyin River, regardless of the size of the goods, do not receive boat payment, and the boatmen's salary is paid by the general's office!" The Qin official read loudly to the people around him to prevent the people from being illiterate. Not sure about the newly enacted rules.
And as Qin Li's words fell. The people around him, without exception, all stirred up and looked at each other in disbelief.
"How can this be?"
"That's right! Don't charge boat fees? How can this be done? If this is the case, then in the future, merchants going to Xianyang will not all cross the river from Luoyin. The boat fees at that time were so high that even the general government could not support them with Luoyin's tax revenue. Get up!"
"No, the general is confused! He is young after all, so rash, I will definitely regret it in the future!"
"I can't guess more than a month!" The people pointed at the notice behind the Qin officials and started talking. In the eyes of the people of Luoyin, this notice was a good first one, and it could make the people of Luoyin clearly feel that the general of kindness.
After all, with the conquest of the Qin State, one of the two sons from each family must enlist in the army, and the remaining one must work in the fields. However, something unexpected happens eventually. If all the heirs die in the end, the old and weak who survive will not be able to work in the fields, and they will not live long in the end. Zuo General Geng's law is quite good. It leaves a way of survival for the old and weak who have no children. Moreover, it is paid for by the General's Office and only collects an additional layer of tax on the land.
But the second article makes people feel ridiculous. All the merchants who crossed the river from Luoyin did not charge for the boat crossing. This made the people immediately imagine the crowds of merchants on the banks of the Luoyin River in the future.
The common people had a premonition that once that time comes, even the General's Mansion may not be able to afford the horrific expenses every day.
Many people openly speculated that the general would regret the second order within a month, and some even speculated that it would take less than half a month.
Without exception, the common people did not think highly of Bai Yan and thought Bai Yan was stupid. Some scholars and merchants from other vassal states were waiting to see Bai Yan's joke, and they all had a premonition that once the news spread to other vassal states, Bai Yan would be laughed at by the world.
"Let's go, quickly! Such a good thing, I must inform the clan members that they are going to Xianyang in the next few days! Why not cross the river from Luoyin!"
"Yes! Me too, let's go quickly and cross the river early. We'll wait for Bai Yan to return!" Tian Ding watched the businessmen in silk clothes leaving in groups in a hurry. Looking at their appearance, his brows were furrowed. , eyes full of confusion.
Looking at Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, Tian Ding also saw that both Lin Anshun and Xunzhou were as confused as him at this moment.
In the eyes of the three of them. With Bai Yan's intelligence, he must not make such a ridiculous order. Although Luoyin is Bai Yan's fiefdom, let alone Luoyin, even the combined taxes of several other big cities near Luoyin cannot make up for this. expenditure.
What does Bai Yan want to do? Why would you issue such a seemingly stupid order, and it was all paid for by the General's Office?
"Go back!" Tian Ding said softly. Lin Anshun and Xunzhou nodded. They both knew that no matter how many questions they had, they couldn't get answers right now, they might as well go back to the general's mansion and see what Bai Yan wanted to do.
.........
"General, as the general said, all the merchants in the city sent people to send this news to other cities." Jiu came to Bai Yan and reported to Bai Yan what he learned while standing at the city gate.
"Okay!" Bai Yan nodded and said nothing.
"General, I'm afraid that within two or three days, merchants from nearby cities will all cross the river from Luoyin!" Jiu thought for a while and looked at Bai Yan.
At this moment, Jiu's mind was full of doubts, and he was very unclear as to why the general would give such an order. However, Jiu would not refute Bai Yan's order, but would only execute it, even if he was very worried and could only speak out.
"What I want is that they all come to Luoyin to cross the river! You take people to supervise the work, and recruit more men to build ships. Every time a big ship is built, you will be paid once. As long as the ship is built and takes less time, the wages can be doubled." Bai Yan ordered to Jiu without explaining too much why he gave the order like that.
"No!" Jiu nodded to Bai Yan, turned around and left. This scene happened to be watched by Tian Ding, Xunzhou and Lin Anshun who had just returned from the mansion.
Looking at Jiu leaving the study, Tian and Ding looked at Bai Yan in the study with confusion. At this moment, not only the three Tian Dings, but also Uncle Bai and Bai Ping, father and son, who also learned about the edict in Luoyin City, also hurried to the study with sisters Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue.
