Now that the superstructure of Zhen and Linqiu has absorbed the local nobles and set up a stable frame, then it is the turn of the local grassroots, the Chinese.

Like Jin, in Qi and Wei, the people of the country still enjoy a higher political status, and they are even better. They have the power to fight in the army, so they are the backbone of aristocratic rulers.

"If you want to truly rule a city, it is not enough to make the people of the country fear. Fear will drive people to obey, but it cannot make people willing to serve. So we have to find a way to make them trust this doctor, kiss him, and love him. "

Wu Xie's requirements are very high, but he has Zhang Mengtan, a think tank under him, so he doesn't have to rack his brains to do everything himself. After thinking a little, the newly appointed Zhen Yizai came up with an idea.

"If you want to build trust among the Chinese people, don't be good at loaning goods!" Zhang Mengtan said at the time.

Loans for goods, that is, loans, can relieve people's urgency and help the poor commoners and even nobles in the country.

When Zhao Wuxi read the Zhou Li, he knew that goods loans began to appear in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and when King Wu of Zhou "divided the wealth and gave up the responsibility to relieve the poor", Zhou Gong also specially set up the Zhou official "Quanfu", whose job was to take charge of the collection of cloth and silk in the market, and Loan matter.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, with the "rites and music expeditions from the feudal lords", there was a fierce battle between the officials and officials. Some aristocrats "accumulated real money, like a hungry jackal", and Luan Hengzi of the Jin state used "fake loans and bribes", that is, loan sharks, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chinese people and accumulated hatred for the demise of the Luan family.

And the knowledgeable Qing doctors have offered the people a kind letter to the people, and interest-free loans have become an important means to achieve their political goals. Zhang Mengtan suggested that Zhao Wuxi should do something similar.

"Doctor, the son of the Song Dynasty, Bao, treated the people of the country with courtesy. When there was a famine in the Song country, he borrowed all the corn. There were no talented people in the country who did not serve; There is no one who does not add Zhou Ji. Song Zhaogong has no way, and the people of the country support the son Bao. So he was able to kill the king and succeed the throne, becoming Song Wengong."

Zhao Wuxi deeply agreed with Zhang Mengtan's idea, and he also remembered that his Yuejia Sicheng Le family had a similar incident.

It was the twenty-ninth year of Duke Xiang of Lu, there was a famine in Zheng State, and the millet and wheat in that year had not been harvested, and the people were miserable. Han Zipi, who served as Shangqing, borrowed and distributed food to the people according to his father, Han Zizhan. For one hour per household, the people of Zheng did not go hungry, and Zipi also received great support from the people of the country.

When Sicheng Zihan of Song heard about this situation, he followed suit during Song's disaster. He asked Song Pinggong for instructions and asked him to lend the corn from his office to the common people, so that the doctors could also lend the corn. Sichengle's own family lent food to others, but did not write an IOU or ask others to return it, so the prestige of Sichengle's family was the same in Shangqiu for a while. Even surpassed Hua, Xiang and Gongshi.

After hearing about this situation, Uncle Xiang, a sage of the state of Jin, said: "The Han family of the Zheng state and the Le family of the Song state will definitely be able to break with the state! Do they both have the state? Giving is not virtuous, and the people will return. ."

Whether Uncle Xiang's prophecy is accurate or not is unknown. However, Song Gongzi Bao became the ruler of a country, and the Song Han clan and the Sicheng Le clan were able to always take charge of the state affairs. These loans are carried out with political needs as the starting point and as a means of buying people's hearts and winning support.

So, Zhao Wuxi should also learn from the Chen Clan of Qi State, and use the means of loaning out big buckets and recycling small buckets to win the trust of the Chinese people?

"Zhang Zi. We don't have to follow suit, I have a better idea."

Zhao Wuxi remembered an allusion he had heard in a previous life. Some changes were made to the initial version of the strategy presented by Zhang Mengtan.

...

On the last day of July, Zhu Shegu, named Jia of Wuzhi, came to the city of Linqiu.

After starting from Gaotang, he went down the Pushui River. In the meantime, pass Luyi Gaoyu.

Gaoyu has nearly 2,000 households and a population of more than 10,000. It is also a wealthy city with the benefits of fish. However, due to Qi State's siege of Lu State's Xibi many times over the past few years, the war has ceased. Farmers are rarely seen in the fertile Pubei fields, and the townships and villages passing by are also sparsely populated. After reading it again, I saw the old and the weak, but not the young and strong. The prosperity of the eastern section of the "Noon Road" was no longer there, only the weeds were growing and the foxes and rabbits were haunted.

However, after entering the Yangjiao Pass in the land of Linqiu, Zhu Shegu's appearance changed. This pass was closely guarded and well-laid out. On the bright side, there were only fifty guards scattered all over the place. How many well-equipped soldiers, it is not easy to capture.

"What's more, there is Gao Yu in the north of this pass... It is not easy for the Qi army to cross the border and attack." He secretly recorded the terrain here, and planned to go back to draw a sketch and present it to Chen Heng.

Because he claimed to be a merchant of the Wu family and came here to pay the ransom, Zhu Shegu was quickly released. However, the convoy was controlled by some single riders who came suddenly. The baggage pulled by the ox-cart and the clothes of the people were inspected inside and out, and any weapons were unloaded.

Zhu Shegu observed these young Jin people, and saw that the leading knight wearing a small leather crown opened the golden wooden box. Although she was slightly surprised, she did not show much greed.

Afterwards, the coachmen of the convoy were left here and not allowed to travel together, and Zhu Shegu was also stuffed into the carriage.

Through the looming curtain, he could see that there were quite a few farmers working on the road and farmland along the way. It seemed that the Jin army passed through the border without looting and killing. Pedestrians on the road were also bustling, and there were people patrolling the houses along the way. The withering of tall fish was no longer there. The ability of the rulers to restore people's livelihood is evident, and it is not easy to plot.

After walking on the bumpy road for several hours, she just arrived at the foot of Linqiu City. Zhu Shegu felt that this was a deliberate detour, and she never thought that the Jin people were so defensive.

At the gate of the city, the carriage stopped for a while. After the war, Linqiu in Dayi, where Qi, Wei, Lu, and Cao were originally handed over by the four kingdoms, is no longer the same as it used to be. There are many fewer pedestrians, carriages and horses, but compared to Gaoyu, There are still quite a few.

The layout of Linqiu City is very neat. From the east gate to the west gate, and from the south gate to the north gate, there is a wide street, forming a cross, meeting in the center of the city, and further north is the Yi Temple. When the carriage arrived here, Zhu Shegu felt that the speed was gradually slowing down, and the voices of the people became more and more lively.

The rider who was driving this car shouted that it was a bad luck, and the rider outside also came over to stop the crowd, and waited a few moments before entering.

Zhu Shegu looked through the curtain, but saw people passing by constantly on the side of the car, and the front was also crowded with people from Linqiu Qi, so she couldn't help but be very puzzled. Generally speaking, after conquering and occupying cities and towns in other countries, one must try to avoid such large-scale gathering of Chinese people. Could it be that Zhao Wuxi’s rule of the city has provoked public anger, and the people of the country are going to gather to expel him?

But there are also many soldiers who maintain order outside, and although the people are numerous, they are orderly.

There were also several limousines in front of them and behind them. The children of the Linqiu clan were sitting in the cars. When they heard the chaos of the crowd, they also opened the curtain to look outside. Seeing the convoy here, I couldn't help but stop the carriage or urge the driver to speed up to come over, say hello to the rider, and say a few words.

Only then did Zhu She know that the cavalry officer was called Yu Xi, but why did the children of the Linqiu clan get so close to him, as if they were colleagues of the same dynasty.

This must be something important happened, maybe we can find out the real situation of this town.

"Chief officer, aren't you going to Yi Temple, why didn't you leave? What are you doing?"

"Who let you out? Go back!"

He couldn't help itching in his heart, and lifted the curtain curiously, only to see that several horsemen outside suddenly turned gloomy and put their hands on the dagger in the waist, and Zhu Shegu hurriedly put on a scared expression.

The cavalry officer named Yu Xi was quite confident, he smiled and said, "Well, it's a coincidence that such a grand event happened today, the doctor said that the merchants of the Wu family can also look at it, and after returning home, he will promote it a lot, if it is from Qi people If you can't bear the pain of three taxes and two taxes in the Duke of Qi's office, you can cross the border to invest, and you will be able to live in peace."

After that, a group of people laughed, and even the few Lin Qiuqi people laughed heartlessly.

Aunt Zhu She was flattering, but she sneered in her heart, thinking to herself that the wise Chen Qing and Chen Shizi had already won the hearts of the people of Qi, how can you still get your turn? At the same time, he was angry with the children of the Linqiu clan, and felt that they were all bought by Zhao Wuxi, but he didn't know what happened to the most powerful Wu clan.

According to the conversations of the people around him, he gradually understood what was going on at the gathering place today.

It turned out that the original Linqiu Wu clan and Yi Temple often borrowed corn to the Chinese people when they were green and yellow, and they had to pay it back after the autumn harvest, accumulating thousands of shi in successive years.

According to the usual practice ~lightnovelpub.net~ After Zhao Wuxi captured this town and replaced Wu's position, these bonds were handed over to him to collect.

So today, Dr. Zhao, who just took office, sent people to stick a cloth around the city, and gave an order: "Anyone who owes the interest of Yi Temple, whether they can repay it or not, will have their coupons inspected at Yi Temple today! Those who come are rewarded with meat and wine, and those who do not come are punished by labor!"

The Qi people who were watching the lively outside the Linqiuyi Temple heard that there was a reward for meat and wine, and they all came as scheduled. In front of them were nearly a hundred borrowers who were crying and grimacing after being called by their names, and who entered the lacquered red gate of Yi Temple under the guidance of the soldiers. They didn't know what Doctor Zhao was going to do. .

Now there is still a month before the harvest, it is the green and yellow failure, if it is forcibly urged for loan, it will be a disaster!

"This is simply a mess and a foolish move!" And Aunt Zhu She was overjoyed. The fear and speculation about Zhao Wuxi along the way were instantly dissipated, and it was transformed into a strong sense of superiority as a businessman of the Chen family. (To be continued)
