Journey to the West Tiger Demon, mortals urge me to ascend the throne

Chapter 33 It turns out that this is the king's ideal!

After some understanding, Zhao Lei finally figured out a rough idea.

A total of [-] mu of land is being cultivated in Lijia Village.

The [-] mu of land had already been taken away by those powerful landlords when life was difficult.So they are just helping people cultivate and need to pay a large amount of land rent.

According to Zhao Lei's calculation, one stone = 30 kilograms.

One mu of land can produce four stones, but this season's harvest is not good, so there are only about three stones.

He once read an article saying that a modern person needs 400 kilograms of grain every year if he wants to be full.This is ancient times, Zhao Lei counted him 300 kilograms, which is about ten stones.

There are 400 to 500 people in Lijia Village, and the food and drink they need every year is [-] shi, not including poultry feed.

But it can be divided into two or three seasons.

In other words, if he didn't want the villagers of Lijia Village to starve this winter, then he could only use about two thousand shi for this batch of grain.

This is still under the condition that the government is exempt from taxes and corvee.

Zhao Lei couldn't help feeling that the life of the ancient people was really difficult...

The court's calculations are accurate, barely enough for you to live.

After having a general idea in mind, Zhao Lei directly ordered: "Two thousand stones, all of you will exchange for domestic pigs."

The villagers became nervous when they heard this.

Use two thousand stones at the first visit?
Why do you need so many pigs?
And even if they bought domestic pigs, they didn't have that much feed, did they?
The villagers were flustered, their voices were trembling, and they asked with some fear: "My... Your Majesty, I don't know you want so many pigs..."

Zhao Lei knew what the villagers were worried about, so he directly waved his hands and said, "My lord, I still have a lord on my head. Meat offerings are offered twice a year. If you don't buy some domestic pigs to go up for business, then you have to do it yourself. So, Do you want me to hand it over to you, or buy a pig and hand it over?"

When the villagers heard this, their legs trembled in fright!

There is still a king on the head of the king? !
The king is already so scary, how terrible is the king's king?

Some people didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if they were handed in, and their faces turned green with fright.

Li Ergou, who was in the crowd, learned that Zhao Lei bought the pigs to protect them, and immediately responded, "Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will exchange as many pigs as possible for these two thousand shi grains!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Buy it! Definitely buy it!"

"Ergou, you must not disappoint the king's expectations!"

"Ergou, I'll go shopping with you!"

"Is two thousand stones enough? If not, why don't we crowdfund some more?"

The villagers turned their guns in an instant, wishing to spend all their savings to buy pigs.

After all, this is about their lives~
Zhao Lei nodded in satisfaction.

The property looted from Huang Fugui and members of the Black Tiger Gang last time was only enough to buy eight pigs.

A pig weighs about 250 kg.

Two thousand kilograms is the rule.

This time, he planned to offer [-] kilograms to please the superior, or to bribe the big demon.

With these two thousand stones, it should be enough, and even a little rich.

In the coming year, the sow gives birth to cubs, and when the cubs grow up, he doesn't need to bother about making offerings anymore.

The villagers were making a fuss, vying for ideas, how to change, where to go, and who to change the pigs. It is bound to strive for the best solution.

After finally assigning a good job, everyone's mood was at ease.

Attention returned to Zhao Lei.

The village chief asked cautiously again: "Your Majesty...there are three thousand stones left..."

Zhao Lei waved his hand: "There are still three thousand stones, you can distribute them equally according to the head. Remember, don't let anyone in Lijia Village go hungry this winter."

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Lei's words shocked all the villagers present to their feet!
"Great... Great King, is this true? Are you really giving us three... three thousand stones of grain?"

"Of course, can I still lie to you?"

hiss--!
Everyone took a deep breath.

My head was struck by lightning!

This season's harvest is all saved by the king.

The method was also taught by the king.

And the king taught them so much useful knowledge.

Now that the harvest has arrived, the king doesn't even take any benefits? !
My God~ How many blessings did our Li Family Village accumulate in our previous life, so that we will be lucky enough to meet the King in this life?
The villagers couldn't believe that Zhao Lei would treat them like this without asking for anything in return.Some villagers have even vowed in secret that they would follow and serve the King for the rest of their lives as long as the King would not take their word for it!

After recovering, everyone knelt down to Zhao Lei again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Lei said indifferently, "Okay, okay, how many times have I told you, don't kneel to me, I don't like this. If you really want to thank me, then do more good deeds."

In an instant, many villagers were moved to tears by Zhao Lei's words.

Some people even looked up to the sky and shouted: "Mother! Why can't you hold on longer? Look, as long as you hold on until the King comes, won't our Li Family Village have a better life?"

"Wooooooow~~"

"Yes, yes, the good days of our Li Family Village have finally come..."

Many people cried and wiped their tears.

The main reason is that Lijia Village has suffered for too long.

No, it should be said that from birth to now, they have never been truly happy.

As soon as he was born, he was assigned a household registration.

It is doomed that they will not be able to get ahead for the rest of their lives.

Otherwise, the whole village wouldn't be so desperate to confess Li Jincheng as a scholar.

Now that Zhao Lei's arrival has opened up a whole new sky for them.

That's why everyone expressed their feelings for a moment, and couldn't help crying.

Among them, Li Ergou was the most excited.

He didn't cry aloud, he didn't cry hysterically, but two lines of tears flowed from the corner of his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Is this so? Is this so? So this is your ideal, Your Majesty?"

While Li Ergou was moved, he was also extremely shocked by Zhao Lei's words!

Shocked speechless!
What is "If you want to thank me, do more good deeds and accumulate virtue"?
listen?

Is this a fairy tale?
It turns out that the king's goal all along is to guide people to do good, to benefit the people without asking for anything in return...

It turns out that this is the real goal of the king!

But after the shock, Li Ergou quickly became dazed again.

Your Majesty has such lofty ideals, so what exactly can Li Ergou do for His Majesty?
He can't do it by force.

Literacy is also fast...

Then why does Li Ergou say that he wants to repay the king and help the king?
After knowing Zhao Lei's real purpose, Li Ergou seemed to be hit hard. He turned around and walked out of the crowd with confused eyes.

As for the villagers, they still knelt and thanked Zhao Lei one by one...

　Thanks for the light time, 200 coins reward! ! , Thanks RudBo, 100 coins reward! !
