Chapter 1230 "Chess Pieces" True Colors
The city of Wuzhou looks more magnificent, with well-proportioned shops, people coming and going on the streets, and even brothels are several more than Lucheng, very prosperous.
But when Qingu went to visit the villages near the city, he realized that the landlord class here probably concentrated the wealth of the entire Wuzhou in their hands, and it was all reflected in the city and their spacious house that was even more luxurious than the emperor's palace. Alright.
Therefore, compared with Lu County, ordinary people living here are more difficult.
They are basically tenant farmers, and there are only a very small number of free farmers, but their living conditions are also very worrying.
The local government cannot receive taxes from these landlords, but they can only increase the tax rate again and again because they have to be urged by Shangfeng.
In the end, these poor free farmers were unable to pay taxes, and could only sell their land, their sons and daughters, and themselves.
For them, the only way out is to sell themselves and the land to the landlord, and then pawn the land from the landlord for cultivation. Compared with the government's tax, the landlord's rent is slightly lower, and the rest can barely eat. But at the same time, they will provide free labor to the landlord for free, and they can do whatever the landlord wants them to do until the last bit of blood and sweat is squeezed by the landlord.
No wonder the person above wants to "put" her in this place. I think the imperial court has not received much tax from this place for a long time.
The local forces have become like an iron plate. No matter how many officials the imperial court sends down, they will either be corrupted by the local forces, or they will be strangled by these people.
It seems to have become a country within a country, a powerful local force on the side of the separatist regime. It is indeed a serious problem for those in positions of power.
Qingu chuckled in his heart, the emperor "dropped" her in this place, did he really think she could open up the situation here? ! Really honey self-confidence.
Little Z: "...Even if the situation cannot be opened, with your current prestige and status, if something happens here, it can still be an excuse for the imperial court to intervene in Wuzhou with a stronger hand."
Qingu nodded with a smile, and said calmly: "That's true. I am a 'gun' and a 'pretense' now. It would be a good thing if I can really shake the local forces in Wuzhou. Even if I can't open the situation, my death can become a An excuse for them to have a fit. Really a good idea."
Knowing that he was a pawn in the hands of the superior, Qingu didn't feel any resentment at being treated as a pawn, but accepted it calmly.
In addition to the fact that she has extraordinary means beyond this hour and space, the greater the ability, the greater the "responsibility", and because she has been a high-ranking person herself, she has the ability to avoid being used. If those who do not have the ability, who will noticed? That is, there is no capital to be used.
Moreover, from the perspective of the long-term development of the small space, if she can make some contributions to this small space, help more people get rid of the fate of being enslaved, and lead them to live a better life, wouldn't it be her honor?
The three systems sensed Qingu's passionate and exciting emotion, and almost believed it.
However, in the past few years, because of their teamwork, this role has flourished, leading people in a region to gradually live a better life, making people full of struggle and enthusiasm for life, and people are also full of love for this female boss. Worship and reverence. Therefore, Qingu's surroundings are full of positive energy, even if the three of them don't need to share the rewards, they still absorb a lot of money. Earn it.
Moreover, this trip to Wuzhou looks very dangerous on the surface, but they are very confident in the deduction of their own data and Xiaogu's methods. It is only a matter of time before Wuzhou is won, and a large amount of energy will definitely be credited by then.
When the system or something, the coolest thing is that the host creates value for the small space that is conducive to the balanced development, and they can absorb energy from the positive energy returned by the small space to strengthen themselves.
Of course, as the tasker himself, he has helped so many people, and the merit points he will get will definitely be even more impressive!
Therefore, now Qingu says that "contributing to the time and space is the honor of the taskers", that is their great "honor", and they must work hard to carry forward this honor!
Xiao Gu (Gu Gu) is right in everything he says.
…………
Besides, Qingu already understood the purpose of the person above who sent her here, presumably the other party also knew very well that she was not an "ordinary person", and the people here have repeatedly assassinated and failed, and presumably became a "monster" in their minds up. Therefore, she didn't have to hide it anymore, and she didn't have to "step by step" like in Lu County, and directly use the power of the court to "buy" five thousand acres of land from a landlord first.
Qingu was the buyer of this transaction, but the "money" was paid by the imperial court. In fact, it was under the guise of Qingu to forcibly take the land from the landlord and record it under Qingu's name.
Then follow the example of Lu County and promulgate a series of policies.
This trick is a good one. On the surface, it was done by Qingu. Even if these landlords know that it is tricky, they can only blame Qingu for this.
After all, those officials issued the following documents according to the above meaning, even if the landlord wanted to trouble the officials, there was nothing he could do.
Go find trouble with Qingu, she seems to have some kind of magic power around her, no matter what kind of person you send to assassinate her. Even using the most tried-and-tested "mother and son" and "grandson" and other bitter dramas is not enough. It is simply an invulnerable monster.
Since the "hard" ones can't do it, "soft" ones come, rumors about Qingu being a monster rushed from all directions.
Just when Qingu was about to find a large number of storytellers and singers to "clean up" herself, there was already a force in Wuzhou that subtly influenced everyone. Those singers and storytellers have already compiled her deeds into excerpts and sang them, and also added many mythological elements, such as being enlightened by gods, such as being blessed by gods. And the retribution of those who oppose Qingu is that God does not hide traitors...
The landlord has a way of ruling the poor with ignorance, so how can the superiors not have a way of leadership? !
Under such a climate, coupled with Qingu’s policy of “on the basis of five years of rented land by tenant farmers and no reduction in production, the land will be owned by the tenant farmers after five years”, people will naturally lean towards Qingu.
With the support of popularity, Qingu then began to build workshops and promote improved planting methods.
The improved planting method is easy to talk about, just send a group of experienced people from Lu County to guide them.
But after the workshop was picked up, it suffered an unprecedented blow.
It is difficult for them to deal with Qingu, but the workshop is dead there, and there will always be some loyal lackeys of the landlord class who will sneak in and cause damage.
After another workshop was burned down, Qingu slapped the table, it seems that these diehards can only be dealt with from the bottom of the pot!
