Chapter 51 Mobilizing the People
There was no peace in the capital city because of the secret passage, and everyone in Lin'an City was panicked because of the appearance of the demon rat.

In the county government office, after listening to Li Ying's report, Zhao Rui seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden, and his whole energy was drained.

After another moment of silence, just when Li Ying was about to say a few words of persuasion, Zhao Rui sat up straight and said, "That's all, that's all, Capt. Li, just do what Qin County Lieutenant wants, everyone is sent." Go out and mobilize the people in the city to investigate and save themselves.

Didn't Qin County Lieutenant dig pits and bury jars by the city wall? Then let the people in the city dig holes and bury jars in their own homes. If there is any movement underground, they should report it to the Yamen immediately. "

"My lord is wise." Li Ying agreed, and then said: "My lord, in this case, why don't you give out some more bounties to give the people some motivation!"

"This is saving their own lives, why do they need a reward!" Zhao Rui became angry when he heard that it was already the time and they still wanted to pay.

"Sir, calm down."

Li Ying continued to persuade: "Sir, I'm not asking you to pay more. Doesn't the court have bounties on demons and monsters?
Your Excellency, you only need to split the bounty. The one who discovers the monster will get a small portion of the bounty, and the one who kills the monster will get the majority of the bounty.

Most of the people are poor, and if they know that they can get a lot of rewards without their own efforts, they will definitely be very happy to search for the traces of the devil.

In this way, the people get benefits and the government saves time. It's a win-win situation. "

Zhao Rui was stunned after hearing this. After thinking for a long time, he stood up and stared at Li Ying until he felt a little uncomfortable. Then he smiled and said, "When did our Capt. Li have such a mind?" Let me tell you, how did you come up with this method?"

Does this mean that I was stupid before?Or is this a good idea?
After hearing some meaning, Li Ying said with some embarrassment: "Sir Mingjian, this is indeed not what I thought. It was my brother-in-law Zhang Hua who came up with it. By the way, the devil who was in the county jail before and the city There are several demon strongholds in there that were discovered by that kid."

"Zhang Hua, right? I remember him."

There was no surprise, Zhao Rui had already guessed that there was someone else, and the smile once again hung on his face. He felt that he was in better spirits now, and the situation was not as bad as he thought before.

After walking back and forth with his head lowered for a few more times, Zhao Rui suddenly raised his head and walked to Li Ying and said:

"In this way, the bounty for killing demons remains the same. For each monster found, after killing, the discoverer will reward half taels of silver, and the demons will be rewarded with three taels of silver.

All the money was paid out of my own pocket and cashed out on the spot. You must publicize this sentence, do you understand? "

When Li Ying heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Sir, I understand, but this bounty?"

"Don't worry, I keep my word." Zhao Rui waved his hand and said: "As for the bounty, someone will pay you 3000 taels in a moment. You can take all the money out and show it to the people in the city. After the execution, All paid on the spot.

By the way, there is also Zhang Hua. He discovered so many traces of demons last time and made a great contribution. I promised him a reward. You can get another 1000 taels and take it back to him later. "

"Thank you, sir. You are wise." Li Ying naturally wanted to flatter him more if he had money.

Zhao Rui nodded after hearing this and said:

"Whether Lin'an City can survive this disaster depends on this mobilization. Mr. Li, I am not afraid of spending money. I am willing to spend more money, but how much you can get depends on your own ability."

"I understand." Li Ying replied with a clear conscience: "I will inform you of your intention. Under the so-called heavy rewards, there must be brave men. I believe that Lin'an City will definitely be able to survive this crisis. Your Excellency will also Your official career will surely be prosperous and your career will go straight up."

"Where is it? Promotion is a small thing, but the common people are a big thing!"

Zhao Rui waved his hand modestly, but the smile on his face showed that he was extremely satisfied with what Li Ying said.

This is exactly what he thought, otherwise why would he spend so much money out of his own pocket!Didn't you see a glimmer of hope and spend money to save your life?

He realized this when Li Ying persuaded him to split the bounty.

Are demons scary?

If it's scary, then why doesn't the devil dare to fight him head on?

Even if it's not scary, it won't cause a storm in the city, or even risk the destruction of the city and the death of people.

What Zhao Rui is really afraid of is not actually where the devil attacked and how many people he killed...but the turmoil caused by these actions of the devil.

Dead people are not scary. What is scary is that people’s hearts are scattered and there is no order. Then there is really nothing we can do.

Zhang Hua solved this problem very well through Li Ying's idea.

The wages of avarice is death.

This is an eternal truth, and it is more useful to the poorer people, because they are so poor that they only have their lives left. It is better to exchange their lives for money... than to have their lives but no money.

For the ordinary people in the city, half a tael of money is already tempting enough, not to mention that it belongs to a single monster, and monsters rarely appear alone.

This also means that as soon as a demon or monster is discovered, after the people in the yamen deal with it, there will be an income of several taels or even more than ten taels of silver...

This money can make these people forget about death, so what does the devil mean?
Moreover, the most important thing is that by using bounties, people can be trapped at home and stare at the water tanks buried in the ground. In this way, doesn't it solve the problem of disorder in disguise?
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Ruicai decided to give Zhang Hua's bounty to him in advance, as a way of thanking him for the idea.

As for whether the bounty will be too much?

Zhao Rui doesn't have to worry about this at all. The bounty is not low, and it is open to the people of the whole city. However, it is the number of demons and monsters, not the number of people, that determines the amount of the bounty.

Even if most of the people get nothing in the end, they will never blame him as the county magistrate, but will praise him more...

Zhao Rui even thought that as long as he survived this disaster, his desire to become an official in the gods would be no problem at all.

In a happy mood, Zhao Rui personally accompanied Li Ying to the warehouse to collect 4000 taels of silver, and then watched him lead a group of agents and pull carts containing silver to disperse throughout the city...

After getting the money, Li Ying did not rush to mobilize the people, but chose to go home directly.

He still remembered that before coming to the county government, Xiaohua, who was about to go home separately from him, suddenly stopped him and taught him a lot of rhetoric...

At first, he just felt that this method was good, and it should be able to prevent the demon rats from appearing without knowing it.

But now, after experiencing the transformation of the county minister, the more he thought about it, the more amazed he became...

This kid, I'm afraid it's really strange... Immortal!

……

Go back to Li's house.

After drinking some water, Li Ying recounted the county magistrate's reaction and remarks, and then said to Zhang Hua:
"Xiaohua, you are still awesome. You haven't seen it. When the county magistrate heard about the magic rat, he was scared for half his life. Later, when I told him what you taught me, he was completely It's like people are resurrected again.

By the way, Xiaohua, how did you come up with such an idea? It's really awesome. "

Not only Li Ying was amazed by it, but the two sisters Cheng Xinchui on the side also praised the idea after hearing it.

Cheng Xinchui felt that his younger brother had really grown up. Although he was only 16 years old, not many people in the court could match his wisdom!

Cheng Xinlan on the side, not to mention, her face was red, as if she was the one being praised and she felt shy, she looked at Zhang Hua secretly, and when Zhang Hua looked over, she quickly avoided it, and then looked again. …

Zhang Hua felt a little embarrassed to be treated like this by the three people.

As for how you came up with this idea?
He didn't know what to say. He could only say that he had an idea, or maybe it was because he had added a lot of attribute points mentally.

Of course, the most important thing is, who made him watch "Tunnel Warfare" and "Landmine Warfare" so many times back then!

Thanks also to Lieutenant Qin County. His digging of pits and burying jars reminded him of the scene in "Landmine Warfare".

I even think of the teachings of some great men:
Mobilize the people…

The power of the people is great…

Only the people…

 "Tunnel Warfare", I just reviewed it a few days ago...
