Finally, he had obtained the support of the first batch of people.
However, Xiao Rang discovered a problem. 10 points of popular sentiment was considered as 1 enhancement point. Therefore, after working for so long, he only earned 5 enhancement points.
The road of strengthening was a long and arduous one.
After sending Old Woman Zhao away, Xiao Rang had just turned around when he was surrounded by a group of commoners.
"Lord Xiao, our family of three worked at Li Changgui's house, but Li Changgui refused to pay us for three months and found all kinds of excuses to shirk. We couldn't get it, and our son was seriously injured. Please help us.”
"Master Qingtian, Chengshan Village's Youzhi forcefully married my daughter. But not long after, the eldest lady beat her daughter to death. I beg you to make the decision."
"Old Master, the dog of the Liusan family next door ate my chicken, but he refused to admit it. That was a hen that laid eggs. Please make the decision.”
……
In an instant, more than ten people gathered around and complained about their grievances.
Most of them involved wealthy merchants and even officials. There were only two or three of them, and they were trivial matters.
Since he had chosen the path of pleading for the people, Xiao Rang would not back down just because the other party had power!
The greatest benefit of being in this remote and poor village that even the county governor could not be bothered to care about was absolute freedom. As the highest-ranking officer in Gaoxian County, as long as he had the ability, he could do whatever he wanted.
At the very least, it wouldn't attract the Prefectural Governor's attention before it caused a huge commotion.
In the past, Xiao Rang didn't have the ability to do so. He wanted to but couldn't.
Now that he had cheated, he was worried that there was no reason to take back his power. This complaint from the commoners was a good opportunity.
"Everyone line up and speak one by one. I will not malign a good person, but I will never let a bad person go! As long as you have grievances, I will definitely seek justice for you!”
Xiao Rang's voice seemed to have a kind of magic. After the commoners heard it, they consciously lined up.
'Ding…obtained popular support 27.'
After the queue was formed, Xiao Rang began to solve the case.
With his near-demon intelligence, it was as if he had a cheat. As long as everyone finished their statements, Xiao Rang could immediately determine whether they were telling the truth or lying, right or wrong. Furthermore, he could think of the best way to deal with it.
Every accused who was summoned here was initially trying to quibble. However, after Xiao Rang pointed out the flaws in his words, they had no choice but to admit their crimes.
He solved ten cases in a day!
Two powerful officials fell from power, and the four tycoons were confiscated. Xiao Qingtian's name spread throughout Gaoxian County.
The popularity of the people skyrocketed. By the end of the evening, it had already increased to 1064 points.
Xiao Rang had roughly figured out that the trust of a commoner represented a bit of the people's hearts. In other words, there were already 1,000 people who trusted him.
The current Xiao Rang was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, Xiao Rang had exchanged the 1064 points for 106 enhancement points. Adding on the initial 31 points, he now had 137 enhancement points.
This would be his first bucket of gold to make a name for himself in this world.
"Sir, you offended so many people in one day. Aren't you afraid that they will retaliate?”
When he returned to the backyard, there were only him and Xu Hui. Xu Hui voiced out the worries that had been buried in his heart for a day.
He was very surprised that today, the county magistrate had changed from his usual cautiousness to being so domineering.
Even though he admired her strength, it didn't seem rational to offend so many people at once.
Was it irrational?
Xiao Rang didn't think so because he had already thought of a countermeasure before doing so.
Bread and stick, this kind of management method was suitable for any era.
"Then don't give them a chance to rebound.”Xiao Rang smiled, his lips curling into a confident smile.
This time, he deliberately made the charges very heavy so that those people could not turn over a new leaf.
For example, Li Shen's family was directly sentenced to death, and all their property was confiscated. In this way, the bandits behind them would not be able to seek revenge for the few dead people without getting any benefits.
"How was the harvest this time?" Xiao Rang's lips curled up as he asked with some anticipation.
The reason why he was so unyielding this time was also because he was forced.
He was so poor that he was about to eat dirt. This wave was just enough to recover some health.
Xu Hui, who had always been serious, revealed a rare smile." Not bad. Not only do you have 100,000 baht, but you also have 30 dan of grain."”
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court used five baht coins, which were nicknamed Brother Kong Fang by later generations. It was a kind of copper coin that was round on the outside and square on the inside.
Because the Yellow Turban Uprising had yet to break out, and the warlords had yet to start fighting. The purchasing power of one baht was quite good, equivalent to one yuan in the 1990s.
One stone was equivalent to 120 catties.
Thirty dan was 3600 jin!
This was a huge number in this small remote county with poor land and poor harvests.
No wonder Xu Hui smiled.
With this batch of money and food, they could build a team on the right track!
"Did you bring the bow I asked you to prepare?”Xiao Rang nodded. He was not satisfied with the food and money.
To him, this was just the beginning.
The heavens had arranged for him to be in this small remote county. This was an advantage. He didn't have to survive in the cracks of the big shots, which gave him a good opportunity to " develop wretchedly, don't be reckless."
He wanted to make good use of this advantage.
From the remote county to the Central Plains!
