Li Xian looked down from above.
He looked at the people who were staring at him.
He took a deep breath.
The initial trust had already been established. He had to be steady and take every step well.
Not letting them down was also a form of achievement for him!
He organized his words.
"Have the villagers been able to eat their fill all these years?”
The commoners looked at Li Xian in astonishment. Clearly, no one had expected Li Xian to ask such a question.
"I'm not full."
"I can barely survive."
"I don't even dare to think about having a full meal. Who dares to eat with their full belly?”
……
After a brief silence, the discussion gradually became noisy.
Qiao Junbei could feel the dissatisfaction and anger in the discussion.
He was terrified.
They were afraid that Li Xian would stir up trouble among the people and directly rebel.
Dong dong dong…
Just then, the gong sounded on the city wall.
The commoners stopped discussing.
Li Xian nodded and shouted,"I, Li Xian, am a member of the imperial family of the Great Tang!"”
"You keep shouting about the glory of the Great Tang!”
"In the glory of the Great Tang, there shouldn't be a situation where we can't eat our fill!”
"Next, what I want to do is to let everyone eat their fill!”
"From today onwards, the Old City County will begin a series of poverty relief policies.”
"The county government will first focus on the most basic needs of the villagers 'daily lives, such as eating, being clean, being tidy, and being dignified.”
"First of all, let's talk about the problem of eating.”
"Most of the fertile land that can be watered in Guanzhong has fallen into the hands of the powerful and influential. To be honest, I, a small county magistrate who has been stripped of my title, have no way to fight against the powerful and the annexation of land.”
"To get more fertile farmland for everyone.”
"This is a matter between the elders of the Imperial Court.”
"But it's not like we don't have other ways.”
"We can increase production and income through land transformation.”
"We can use the waterwheel to solve the problem of water consumption. We can also use the waterwheel to transform the land.”
"This requires detailed planning, so starting from tomorrow, every household must come to the county government to confirm whether the land deed stubs you filed in the county government are accurate.”
"The county government will plan the water diversion route according to the situation of the land and the water source.”
“……”
"In order to increase the yield of the land, we can also start from the fertilizer in addition to transforming the land.”
"Why can't we drink the water in the old city?”
"It's because of the years of filth that has polluted the water source.”
" For example, animal feces, night incense, and the like. Not only did they pollute the water source, but they also caused the old city to become dirty and messy. Those who have the ability all went to the new city.”
" In the eyes of the people of Chang 'an New City, the people of the old city are not only poor. They look down on us and think that we are dirty!”
The chain of contempt would exist at any time.
Even though the citizens of the capital were not rich, they still looked down on the citizens of the old city.
These words struck a chord in the hearts of the commoners.
Tens of thousands of people were silent and furious.
How could they not know that the capital looked down on them?
"That's why we have to change!"
"Not only do we have to eliminate their contempt for us, but we also have to make them envious!”
"Animal feces and night incense are the best fertilizers. They are also related to the cleanliness, tidiness, and dignity of our old city.”
"The second thing…"
As he spoke, Li Xian turned around and walked down the city wall.
On the way, he took a shovel from a carpenter. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he lifted a square bluestone by the roadside.
Pointing in the direction of the central street, he said loudly,"" The second thing, like what I'm doing now, is to dig a ditch along the side of the road.”
"At the entrance of each ditch, we will build a toilet. After collecting the night incense and animal feces, we will pour them into the ditch.”
"Use the water we brought in to flush it to the lower part of the southern city. We'll build a collection pool there far away from the residential area.”
"In the coming year, every household can get an equal share of the fertilizer.”
"Not only can we solve the problem of our dirty and messy work that people look down on, but we can also increase the production of food.”
"Everyone, are you willing to follow me on this matter?”
"I'm willing!"
"I am willing!"
"Your highness, you take the lead. We are willing to follow your highness!”
……
The commoners responded loudly.
Li Xian walked up the steps of the shop next door. He stood a little higher and raised his hand to press down.
After he finished speaking, he continued,"I'm very happy that everyone is willing, but now I still have to tell everyone about our difficulties.”
"I was stripped of my title. Other than my salary, I don't have any money.”
"The Old City of Chang 'an had always belonged to the Chang' an Local Government. Before me, the Old City County Government did not have an independent treasury.”
"That's why the county government also doesn't have money and food.”
"This means that I can't give you any rewards for renovating the fields and repairing the city.”
" Similarly, we have to cut wood and chisel the stones ourselves to get the materials we need. Everything depends on our hard work and hard work!”
"And all I can do is lead everyone and work together with all of you!”
"Are you still willing?"
"It's still what I said before I brought the water into the city. If you're unwilling, even if I'm alone, I'll do it alone!”
The commoners whispered to each other.
"Wangye, I'll fight with you!"
"Yes, I will do it too. I am so poor that I have nothing. I only have this strength left.”
"We will follow your highness!"
……
After a short discussion, the people responded loudly.
When Qiao Junbei saw this scene, he felt his limbs turn cold.
He subconsciously looked at Li Xian.
He looked at the tens of thousands of people.
If this was done, the commoners would only acknowledge Li Xian and not the Imperial Court!
"I, Li Xian! A member of the Li Imperial Family who had been demoted to a commoner!”
"When the Li Palace came to the Old City, I told the Sage Emperor.”
"For the glory of the Great Tang, I can give up everything, even death!”
"Now, I can also make a promise in front of everyone!”
"As long as I don't die, I will bring the villagers to do this. No one can stop me unless I, Li Xian, fall!”
Qiao Junbei looked at Li Xian, who was waving his fists and shouting out his oath, and wished he could escape immediately.
He noticed that Xue Chongjian was quietly retreating to the back of the crowd. It was obvious that he was going to snitch again.
The display of power a few days ago had frightened Xue Chongjian.
Now, Xue Chongjian didn't dare to stop him. He could only be a snitch and hope that the Sage Emperor would take action.
