The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 289
When the people in Zhen'an County heard Cai Hu's words, they quickly became quiet again. It seemed that what Cai Hu said was not false.

And it does have new laws and tax rates.

Although Zhen'an County will be autonomous in the future, they are extremely shocked, but what the people care more about is the law and tax rates.

These things are related to their survival.

"The new law in Zhen'an County is almost the same as that in Zhao State, except for some changes. After the end, you can read the notice yourself."

"The key point is the tax rate in Zhen'an County."

"From now on, the people of Zhen'an County will only need to pay [-]% of the annual grain to the county government every year. We have also decided to abolish some taxes. The following are the taxes that have been abolished: city entry fee, childbirth tax..."

From the moment Cai Hu shouted, many people stared wide-eyed, it was very unbelievable, even after Cai Hu finished shouting, everyone was stunned.

"Master Cai, please read it again." Some people shouted in disbelief.

"Okay, listen carefully." Cai Hu knew that everyone was suffering too much and was being squeezed too much. Now he suddenly treats them better, which makes them suspicious.

After Cai Hu finished reading it again, many people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, shouting loudly.

"It turned out to be true! We don't have to pay so much fees in the future?"

"Wow! The adults are really kind to us! I want to follow the adults for the rest of my life!"

"From now on we don't have to go hungry!"

……

The people knelt on the ground and shouted, and some even cried bitterly on the ground.

With the previous taxation of Zhao State, they almost had to hand over all the food they got throughout the year, but they didn't give much to themselves.

So many people were starved to death before, or had to abandon their children.

But now, they have no consideration in this regard at all, because they only need to hand in [-]% of the grain every year, and they don't need to hand in other expenses.

In fact, Song Wei didn't want the people to hand over the food, but for the sake of meaning, Song Wei wrote down [-]% of the tax.

Otherwise, these people would not believe that such a good thing would happen.

Cai Hu looked at the people kneeling in front of him and weeping bitterly.

He also felt a little uncomfortable. He had seen many things over the years, but since Song Wei came, everything started to get better.

Even now that Zhen'an County has become independent, the tax collection has been reduced a lot.

Cai Hu took a deep breath to calm himself down, then left the bulletin board and returned to the county office.

He doesn't need to say too much, he just needs to repeat it briefly. Because of Song Wei, almost all the people in Zhen'an County have learned to read and write, and they can read the bulletin board by themselves. Others need to explain it to them.

Sure enough, after Cai Hu and the crowd left under pressure, many people who couldn't believe it surrounded the bulletin board and looked.

However, their eyes became wider and wider, and surprise was revealed from their eyes.

Cai Hu didn't lie to them, what Cai Hu said was true, and the notice on the bulletin board was much more detailed than what Cai Hu said.

Some of them began to cheer, and some began to cry even more painfully.

They have lived for so long, and they have never met adults who treat them so well.

In their hearts, they strengthened their belief in following Song Wei, and felt that they were very lucky to be in Zhen'an County back then.

Then they started to leave, telling more people about the new rules set by Song Wei.

……

At the same time, outside Zhen'an County, a piece of news spread like ordinary waves.

That was Song Wei defeating Zhuo Mu's 1000 army with [-] men, and there was news recently that Zhen'an County became independent and self-governing.

This news is still because of the Emperor Zhao, because when the Emperor Zhao asked people to go to Zhen'an County, some people already knew the news that Zhen'an County would be self-governing.

They were amazed by this incident, and then began to investigate what was going on, and found something that shocked them even more, that is, the magistrate of Zhen'an County defeated Zhuo Mu's 1000 army with [-] men !

Who is Zhuo Mu?

I'm afraid there is no one in the entire Zhao Kingdom who doesn't know Zhuo Mu's name. He was the general of Zhao Kingdom, and he led an army of 1000 people, but he was defeated by [-] people!

If it were normal times, they would not believe it when they heard the news, but they already knew that Emperor Zhao had agreed to Zhen'an County's autonomy.

This news obviously proves that the news that Zhuo Mu lost is true!
This time, the whole Kyoto was shocked!

Who is the magistrate of Zhen'an County?They don't know, let alone understand, they haven't even heard of it.

If it wasn't for this news, they probably wouldn't even know that there was such a person in this world!

However, it was this person who borrowed from the unknown, who defeated Zhuo Mu who had been famous for a long time.

This was what shocked them, plus the fact that Emperor Zhao would agree to the autonomy of Zhen'an County.

All of them know that several countries have signed peace agreements and have maintained them for many years.

But Emperor Zhao actually broke this agreement and allowed Zhen'an County to become autonomous.

From their perspective, this news reveals a trace of unusualness everywhere.

Then these two news quickly spread to other places, like raindrops falling on a calm lake, and a circle of ripples spread around.

But these two pieces of news are more than just ripples, they are like a circle of waves, shocking the local people wherever they go.

However, only the person involved, Song Wei, didn't know yet, but Song Wei could predict, oh no, he had known that such a day would come.

So even if Song Wei finds out one day, he won't be shocked.

More importantly, these two pieces of news spread not only in the Zhao country, but also in other countries.

This is due to the fact that Zhuo Mu made too much noise at the beginning. The [-] army almost moved the country. It is impossible that this will not attract the attention of other countries.

However, when other countries knew that Zhuo Mu was just trying to deal with a small county magistrate, they became even more curious.

What kind of ability does this county magistrate have? He actually asked Zhuo Mu to send an army of [-] troops!

So many countries have been paying attention to this matter since Zhuo Mu started dispatching, but after so long, there is finally new news.

That is, the [-] troops sent by Zhuo Mu were completely annihilated, and the Emperor Zhao agreed to the autonomy of Zhen'an County.

This news stunned the emperors of all countries. They were curious about why Zhuo Mu would send a hundred thousand troops to deal with a small county magistrate. This already revealed an unusual atmosphere.

Then they were also curious for a few days, but there was no news, so they gave up. In their cognition, it couldn't be easier for a hundred thousand troops to deal with a county town. Wan Dajun.

Therefore, the emperors of other countries except Chu State have forgotten this matter.

And because Song Wei refused their aid from Chu State, they have been staring at Zhen'an County, and they want to see what big waves Song Wei can make.

However, when this big wave came, everyone in Chu State was stunned!
