Traitor

Chapter 32 Zhao Wuyou's No Money Business
Because of the large number of people on both sides of the strait, it was impossible to gather all the land in one hour and a half, so the time was set in the afternoon of the next day.

Unexpectedly, it rained the next day, and it was rainy in spring.

Zhao Wuyou hated rain the most, the wind and cold earlier hadn't healed, and his body was still weak now.When the wind and rain blew, the whole person shivered.But outsiders see that she is a handsome man, so they can't let her go out like a woman, holding Mrs. Tang in her arms!It's offensive, and it doesn't fit her status as Minister of Rites, so I can only wear more clothes and bear it.

The temporary work shed outside the city, although it is temporary, but because Zhao Wuyou needs to use it, it has been reinforced and sealed earlier, and it is as neat as possible.There was a stove burning inside, Zhao Wuyou went in with a stiff body, and looked up at the noisy crowd inside.

The servant of the Ministry of Industry roared, and the shed immediately became quiet.

Zhao Wuyou walked to the front slowly, the ordinary people didn't know who Zhao Wuyou was, they knelt down and shouted after seeing such a battle, "See my lord!"

"Let's all sit down!" Zhao Wuyou coughed twice, and sat down side by side with Jian Weizhong.

Here, the official positions of the two are the highest.

Jin Yi accompanied him and stood behind Zhao Wuyou in case of accidents.

"You are all land protectors on the edge of Yingqu. Although they are not considered official positions, you are all citizens of Daye, and you should do your part for Daye." Zhao Wuyou said in official terms.

She is not a fool, of course she would not say: I am Zhao Wuyou.Zhao Wuyou's reputation is too bad, after all, he has a father who is a prime minister, and this prime minister is still unpopular, known as a treacherous prime minister.

Jian Weizhong and Zhao Wuyou sang together, there is still some tacit understanding in the officialdom, "There is a lot of rain this spring, and Qin Tianjian fears that the river will rise sharply. When the time comes, the flood will never stop, and the people inside and outside the city will be harmed. The emperor loves the people like a son, and now Order Yingqu to clear the silt. Protect a piece of homeland for the people in Yingqu area. My emperor is holy!"

When the people heard that it was the emperor's decree to benefit them, they immediately fell to their knees and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
Seeing this, Jian Weizhong and Zhao Wuyou exchanged glances.

Zhao Wuyou got up and said, "Your Majesty is holy, as the people of Daye, you should do your best for the Emperor. Yingqu dredging, no one knows the situation of Yingqu better than you who live on both sides of Yingqu. You live in On the shore of the water, there are many people in the village who are familiar with the nature of water!"

After saying a word, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to say anything.

No one knows what Zhao Wuyou means by this?Could it be that he came to pull the strong man?
The people on both sides of the Yingqu River can't eat enough to eat all the year round, relying on half an acre of land to make a living, and their lives are extremely rough.If you come to pull the strong men again, you basically want to drive them all to death.

Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Don't worry, I don't have any malicious intentions, but I feel that since the imperial court allocated silver taels, it should be taken from the people and used for the people. I know that you have had a hard time, so I We have decided to entrust the dredging of Yingqu to you all. You contribute, and the imperial court pays, and we both cooperate. What do you think?"

Cooperation?

As soon as they heard that the imperial court had paid for it, these people couldn't bear it anymore.

The common people were already poor, and heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes made them unable to straighten their waists. Now it is a good idea to earn some money to support their families by relying on their water skills.

Zhao Wuyou continued to guide the crowd, "The imperial court will definitely not treat you badly, nor will you be in arrears. In the name of the Ministry of Industry, I guarantee that the money will be in place, and I hope everyone can tell each other. Let the men with good water skills serve the country. This dredging of Yingqu is also a move that will benefit all families. When the tide rises, everyone will not be submerged in their homes. What do you think?"

Silver guarantees that there will be no debts or defaults, and it can also prevent homes from being flooded when the tide is high.In any case, it was all beneficial to the common people, and the court also paid for it.

Thinking about it this way, there seems to be nothing in dispute.

Zhao Wuyou smiled and said, "Everyone's wages will be doubled according to the market price, and they will be paid every day. If you break your promise, you can go to the yamen to sue, and I will pay you back ten times if you lose any points. Today , Leave the words here! What do you think?"

Jian Weizhong was stunned, what Zhao Wuyou did was really a no-cost business.The court paid the money, and the rest became the common people's business.
