Chapter 281

Listening to what her father said, Lin Shiwu couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Why listen to this, so wrong?

She gave her father a strange look, and some thoughts in her heart became clearer.

But no matter how strange she felt in her heart, many people felt extraordinarily at ease after hearing this.

Even if these words did not come from the mouth of the "Emperor", it still cheered them up.

"well said!"

"That's how it should be!"

"If those in power really think about the life and death of us ordinary people, then they are the real emperor!"

"God should take care of all sentient beings, everyone agrees!"

"Yes!"

……

A few leading people, with a few words, raised the emotions of the surrounding people to a climax.

Lin Shiwu discovered that there were actually a few inner ghosts who brought the rhythm...

She frowned and gestured to Ling Du with her eyes.

Ling Du gave her a look of "you are at ease".

Then he continued following what everyone said: "That's right, God, it's time to take care of all living beings.

Even God has a time when he can't take care of it, so the Son of Heaven is naturally negligent.

But no matter what, we should consider the common people as much as possible, and strive to let us all have something to rely on for our old age and support for our young, reduce corvee and tax, and store wealth among the people, so that the country can live in peace and prosperity. "

"Correct!"

Ling Du's words brought everyone's approval to him.

Seeing this, Lin Shiwu couldn't help but look at her father more, and then said quietly: "If I remember correctly, a few years ago, the imperial court seemed to have issued a decree, saying that it would cancel free corvee and replace it with paid labor. "

From the memory of the original owner, she recalled the corvee enacted in recent years.

"Take forced labor as an example. Two hundred yuan is paid every day, and the construction period ranges from 30 to [-] days. No matter how many people are sent by each family, the settlement is based on two hundred and one days."

After her words fell, everyone's memories seemed to become clearer in an instant.

"It seems that there is such a thing?" A person said hesitantly.

The other person thought about it for a while, and affirmed: "It's true that this happened, but it was just in time for the end of that year's corvee... If you count the time, it's time to start a new corvee this year. "

"It seems that it will be known soon that this matter is true or false." Someone said.

Some people also snorted in disapproval, expressing their dissatisfaction: "Even if this matter is true, so what? Don't forget, our Lord Li, is because of the muddled emperor's inability to distinguish right from wrong, that's why we were punished." Killed by traitors!"

"If it's true, then we can earn several taels of silver every year! Even in Bailin Town, the few taels of silver can be used as expenses for ordinary people for a long time!" Someone retorted subconsciously. .

The person who raised the question immediately became dissatisfied, and his voice became louder: "Could it be possible that money can erase Mr. Li's injustice and victimization by traitors? Do you still have a conscience?"

"Wang Tiezhu, what do you say? Is it true that corvee labor has become unpaid labor, and as long as you go out for a month or so, you can earn a few taels of silver. Isn't this a good thing for everyone? How come it becomes something we forget? Is Master Li alright?"

"That's right, the things that Mr. Li did for us, one by one, we all remember in our hearts, but one yard counts for one yard, and the corvee becomes paid labor. It's not like we are asking for justice for Mr. Li. One thing, what is your intention, do you have to confuse these two things?"
