Everyone, including Wen Rongtai, was stunned when they heard this.
Such a useful divine item actually only cost 20% of the grain, and it even included the taxes paid.
If they had this divine artifact, the output of each family would increase. Even if they took 50%, everyone would still want it.
Now, he was only taking 30%. It was simply a heavenly gift!
Everyone was excited at this moment. Some even jumped down from the fields, fighting to try out the curved shaft plow.
"Thank you, my lord…"
At this moment, Wen Rongtai took the lead and knelt down, kowtowing to Lin Nan.
He had stayed in Wuyang for a long time and understood everything here. He also heard that the neighboring county had already received 60% of the rent.
As for the lord, not only did he not increase the exorbitant taxes, he even thought of ways to help everyone increase their grain production.
The old man couldn't help but kneel down, tears streaming down his face as he thanked him.
Under Wen Rongtai's lead, the civilians and soldiers present knelt down one after another.
At the side, Chen Dao, Zhou Cang, Huang Zhong, and Xu Shu didn't kneel down, but the way they looked at Lin Nan was different from before.
Now, other than admiration and respect for Lin Nan, he was not a fool. He knew what Lin Nan was thinking at a glance. He only accepted 30% of the grain in the hope that the people could live in peace.
Following such a master who had the people in his heart, even if he had to die, it was worth it!
"Get up. Rong Tai is in charge of this matter. I'll go back first.”
Lin Nan saw everyone kneeling down and sighed at how polite the ancients were. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He turned around and left, not forgetting to remind them.
On the way back to the county government, Lin Nan thought as he walked.
What the Eastern Han lacked the most was manpower. By the end of the Three Kingdoms, the population would increase from 20 million to more than 5 million.
Now that Yuzhou was the most populated continent in the country, if they didn't get more people now, when would they?
There were only a few ways to increase the population. One was to recruit prisoners of war, and the other was for the people to migrate spontaneously. Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the people of Xiangyang moved with Liu Bei.
They would use low rent, convenient tools, and powerful troops to protect them.
A great cause can be expected!
Lin Nan walked to the county government and saw two militiamen standing there.
"Greetings, my lord!"
"Welcome back, Lord!"
When the two soldiers saw Wen Rongtai return, they bowed and shouted.
In the inner court, he found Xu Shu chatting with a person. The person had a pink face and red lips. He had delicate features and a delicate body.
"Eunuch Zhang, this man is Lin Yunze of our Dancing Sun City. It was all thanks to him that the people of the two cities were able to avoid the war.”
"My lord, this is Eunuch Zhang from the imperial court. He has brought an imperial edict to the manor.”
After seeing Lin Nan return, Xu Shu happily went up to welcome him and informed Wen Rongtai of the situation.
"I just went to the fields to arrange farming and was delayed for some time. I have troubled Eunuch Zhang to wait.”
When Lin Nan heard that it was a eunuch from the imperial court, he cupped his fists and bowed.
"It's fine, it's fine. Mr. Yunze is young and promising. He has made great contributions in resisting the bandits. Governor Qin has written a letter to the imperial court to commend him.”
"Receive the decree!"
The eunuch had a fair face and red lips. His appearance did not resemble that of an ordinary person, but his voice, tone, and gestures lacked a hint of masculinity.
"Yes, sir!" Lin Nan received the edict according to etiquette.
"By the will of the heavens, the emperor has declared. At that time, the Yellow Turban bandits brought disaster to the world. Chen San of Wuyang City abandoned the city and left. It was an insult to the dignity of the imperial court and a shame to the common people. I heard that Lin Nan met them with wisdom and courage, protected the peace of Wuyang, and organized soldiers to rush to Nanyang County to rescue them. Therefore, I removed Chen San from the post of Wuyang County Magistrate and granted Lin Nan the post of Yangqu County Magistrate.”
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord."
"Congratulations on your promotion, Mr. Yun Ze."
Eunuch Zhang looked at Lin Nan with a smile and handed the imperial edict to him.
Lin Nan was not stupid enough to not understand the intention of Eunuch Zhang's smiling face.
He respectfully received the imperial edict and took out a small bag of gold and silver from his sleeve. He cleverly handed it to Eunuch Zhang and pretended to be relaxed.
"Without Eunuch Zhang, how could Yunze have made a name for himself? Eunuch Zhang, please accept this small gift. In the future, please be generous with your teachings.”
"Aiyo, how can I do that?”
Eunuch Zhang spoke with a straight face. Although he said he was sorry, his hand shook the small cloth bag. He felt that there was quite a lot of gold and silver in the bag, and the smile on his face became even more brilliant.
"Eunuch Zhang must have had a hard time hurrying over the past few days. Today is the first time to Yangqu, it is better to go to my house to rest first, let Yunze banquet reward.”
"No, no, I still have to go back and report. I won't disturb Lord Wen.”
"In that case, Yunze shouldn't delay Gonggong's arrangements.”
"Brother Yuanfu, please bring a few brothers to escort Eunuch Zhang out of the city.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Aiyo, Mr. Yun Ze is very polite. I'll remember it in my heart.”
"Of course."
Lin Nan watched as Eunuch Zhang walked out of the county government office and held back his embarrassment to laugh.
In the past, he had seen eunuchs on television. Now, he was seeing a real eunuch in front of him. There were so many hand gestures that it was comparable to a wonderful hand show.
It was really better to see than to hear.
