During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 566: Win people’s hearts
Huan Tielong was furious, "What are you trying to defend? Your Majesty has already said it was my fault. It is my fault. What else can I defend?"

The deputy general looked puzzled, "But didn't you say you were right before?"

After saying that, the deputy general jumped twice behind him and successfully dodged Huan Tielong's flying kicks.

Huan Tielong missed the kick, and the anger in his chest deepened, "I said where did you come from so much nonsense."

The deputy general touched his head with a flattering look on his face, "Aren't I worried about you too?"

"If you're really worried, I'll send those things back to them."

The deputy general nodded halfway and said in surprise: "Why? We spent a lot of money to buy those things, so if we just return them to them, can they agree?"

Huan Tielong scratched his head severely and turned around twice.

"It won't work if I don't send it back. They are waiting to get hold of me now. If I don't send it back, it will be reported that I bought and sold by force. Not only will my reputation be ruined, but also His Majesty's reputation will be ruined." And the reputation of Marquis Xuanwen has been ruined.”

"I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of that, but I can't involve His Majesty and Marquis Xuanwen."

The deputy general did not expect that these scholars would spend so much time and money, "Why do you feel that you are not as comfortable as when you were in Minzhou?"

"I also feel uncomfortable, but we are already here. We can't go back in despair. I can't afford to lose this person. Besides, they are just a few scholars. They are useless scholars. I don't believe it. Can't beat them."

The deputy general looked proud, "Your Excellency is right. You have passed through so many levels before and killed so many horse thieves. You will definitely have no problem dealing with these powerless scholars."

Huan Tielong glared at him pitifully, "Why are you still standing here? Why don't you go find the things and return them?"

"But Sir, what should I do with Marquis Xuanwen's gift? It is estimated that Marquis Xuanwen will already know about your big fanfare of buying him a gift. If there is nothing in the end, Marquis Xuanwen will definitely feel uncomfortable."

Huan Tielong's eyes were full of sorrow, "Grandma, this is really a matter. Don't worry about it, go back and talk about it first. For Marquis Xuanwen, if it doesn't work, just use something else to top it. I don't think Marquis Xuanwen will care about me." "

The deputy general nodded repeatedly, "Marquis Xuanwen is famous for his good temper. Even if you don't give me anything, Marquis Xuanwen won't care if you come."

"What do you know?"

Huan Tielong scolded him, grabbed the deputy general's collar and left.

After the two left, Hong Li told Jiang Qian exactly what he heard.

"Although Governor Huan has a bad temper, he is sincere towards His Majesty and his master. However, he bowed to them as soon as he arrived in Xuzhou. I am afraid it will not be easy to manage Xuzhou in the future."

Jiang Qian didn't even raise his head, "What do you think we should do?"

Hong Li looked embarrassed, "How do I know this? I just think that Governor Huan's temper is like a firecracker. You have finally managed to smooth over Xuzhou's problems. What if he can't control his temper after you leave?" , start fighting with them..."

Jiang Qian dried the letter and stuffed it into an envelope, then sealed it with beeswax.

"Go and tell Governor Huan that you don't need to return the things. Just say that I bought them for the princess and the queen."

"You are letting the news out. Although each family has done something wrong, His Majesty has a compassionate heart and does not want to kill everyone. He is also worried that he will not be able to convince the public, so he asked me to come forward to solve the urgent needs of each family."

"As for letting Governor Huan come forward, it's just for their sake, and also to let Governor Huan know Xuzhou better."

Hong Li conveyed Jiang Qian's words to Huan Tielong.

Huan Tielong was so moved that he almost shed tears, "Marquis Xuanwen is really my reborn parent."

Hong Li: "..." I definitely don't want a son like you.

"My lord has said that if you keep your posture too low when you first arrive in Xuzhou, those people will inevitably bully you in the future."

Huan Tielong nodded, feeling in his heart that Marquis Xuanwen understood him.

"What happened before was also the fault of each family. The imperial court did not cause trouble for them. It was already merciful beyond the law. If they don't know how to repay their kindness and insist on causing trouble, you don't have to tolerate it."

This sentence almost touched Huan Tielong's heart, "Please go back and tell Marquis Xuanwen that I would like to thank him for his help this time. In the future, wherever I can be used, I will definitely help."

"My lord, you're welcome."

After Hong Li left, Huan Tielong laughed loudly, "You son of a bitch wants to see me make a fool of myself. It's not that easy. I can't cure you, but there are many people who can."

The deputy general flattered you as always, "My lord is mighty, your lord is powerful."

"Why am I so good? Marquis Xuanwen is obviously so good."

Huan Tielong frowned in great distress, "Marquis Xuanwen helped me twice, how should I repay him?"

"Sir, I think that Marquis Xuanwen should not be short of your thanks. Besides, you are a feudal official, and Marquis Xuanwen is a relative of the emperor. Can the people in the court rest assured that you two are close?"

Huan Tielong thought the same thing, "When did you become so smart?"

"I also learned it from adults."

The deputy general smiled shyly.

After the news about Jiang Qian was released, the people who secretly poked and wanted to go forward seemed to have their lives squeezed, and suddenly stopped.

But the relationship between Huan Tielong and them did not ease. At this time, Qian Cheng, who had been silent, found Huan Tielong.

Gave him an idea.

For more than half a month after that, Huan Tielong went to the countryside every day to communicate with the people, asking soldiers to farm land and carry water for the people without using a penny of the people's money.

After learning that the people had been cultivating the land for a year, the harvest was less than 40%, so they immediately approached the nearby landowners and forced the landowners to increase the income of the tenants.

The original annual payment of 50% has been reduced to the annual payment of 40% or 30%.

If he didn't agree, he would take the soldiers to the landlord's house to eat and drink.

How could the landowners support so many people to eat and drink? After a short period of insistence, they agreed.

Huan Tielong stared at them and signed a new contract, and assured the people carelessly that if anyone bullied them, they could go to him and he would make the decision for them.

The people who received the benefits were grateful and gave many gifts before leaving.

Although it is not a valuable thing, Huan Tielong feels that it is more important than real money.

As soon as the news came out, the landlords took the initiative to reduce their share of the profits without Huan Tielong's intervention.

The happiest people were the people. I didn't expect that the new governor would get such great benefits for them as soon as he arrived. Everyone was grateful, and some people even sent fruits and vegetables to the governor's mansion.

Huan Tielong was so proud that he had spent so much effort in vain.
