I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Qi said solemnly: "So at any time, you must remember that our Xia Kingdom will not solicit donations from you. When you meet such a person, you can directly beat him to death before reporting to the government."

After hearing this, many people laughed.

He even praised Du Qi.

This is King Xia.

This is the bearing of King Xia.

After the cheers of the people were over, the people stopped talking again, and everyone looked at Du Qi, and Du Qi pointed at Shangguanyi, and said, "This person's name is Shangguanyi, and he is the king's confidant advisor. He Just now, as Shangguan Feng, I tried this fake King Xia, the reason is very simple, just to see his quality."

"Sure enough, this guy is illiterate and extremely stupid. The things Shangguanyi said are also non-existent. He fabricated them. You don't have to worry. Now in Xia Kingdom, the world is bright and clear. There are no murders, and there are no murders. It is impossible for any villager to dare to arrange for people to pretend to be robbers and kill people."

The people were even more cheered up when they heard it.

I feel refreshed.

There is a world of difference between the real King Xia and the fake King Xia. One is majestic, while the other is bluffing.

At this moment, a group of village elders, village officials, Lizheng and others stood up and knelt down to beg for mercy amidst the people's discussion.The reason is very simple, they were clinging to the fake King Xia before, and flattered and flattered them, but unexpectedly they met the real King Xia.Obviously, what they did must have been known to Du Qi, so they all knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Du Qi looked at the dozen or so people kneeling in front of him, waved his hands and said, "Those who don't know are innocent, get up. I can't blame you for this matter. Who would have thought that someone would pretend to be the king."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they spoke.

When they stood up, they no longer worried about their safety, at least Du Qi never pursued it.

After Du Qi comforted the people, he turned to look at Lu Dayou who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's your name? Where are you from?"

Lu Dayou said: "Reporting to King Xia, the sinner, Lu Dayou, is from Guazhou. When he was cheating in Guazhou before, he was exposed by others, so he wandered to Xia State. This time, he repeated his old trick and pretended to be King Xia to cheat. people."

Du Qi sneered and said, "You're really daring!"

Lu Dayou knocked his head on the ground, and said again: "King Xia, I know I was wrong. I implore King Xia, please spare my life."

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "You even dare to pretend to be the king of the Xia Kingdom, and there is nothing you dare to do. This is a typical case of yours, and it is necessary to clarify the canonical punishment."

"Moledo, kill this person."

Du Qi directly ordered Lu Dayou to be dealt with.

People like Lu Dayou, if they let the net go, they won't die anyway, and this incident may not be able to be eliminated.What's more, this is the first time I encounter it, so I have to deal with it.

The sword in Mo Ledo's hand stabbed out, and the tip of the knife directly pierced Lu Dayou's heart, beheading Lu Dayou.At this moment, the rest of the people who followed Lu Dayou were all trembling and fearful, and kept begging for mercy.

On the other hand, Du Qi called out the village elders and Li Zheng, and asked them to escort all Lu Dayou's people to the county government of Nazhi County, and hand them over to the county magistrate of Nazhi County for disposal.

Du Qi believed that they would deal with it properly.

The old man and Li Zheng immediately complied when they got the order, and they even made an oath to complete the task.

After Du Qi dealt with Lu Dayou's matter, he looked at the thousands of people gathered and said, "Folks, today's incident should be taken as a warning. If it wasn't for the king passing by

Here, I got the news that this Lu Dayou will ask you to contribute money by using the pretext of soliciting donations.Anything that pays like this is absolutely unbelievable.Because neither the government nor the king would do such a thing. "

The people nodded one after another.

Du Qi said some words of encouragement to the people, as well as some achievements in the battle between the Xia Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, and finally waved his hands and said: "Okay, many of you have come from afar, it's getting late, go back and do your own business Things. Especially now that it is the season of busy autumn harvest, don't delay the work at hand, harvest the food and live a good life, this is the fundamental."

Shangguanyi was also in the crowd, and he was very appreciative of Du Qi's words.

Du Qi's words made sense.

It is fundamental for the people to live a good life, and everything else is false.The surrounding people dispersed one after another, but when the people dispersed, some people bowed to Du Qi before leaving, and then followed closely, many people imitated each other, and each of them bowed and said goodbye. Quite spectacular.

Du Qi watched the people leave one by one, and in the end there were only a hundred people left.

They are all from the village at the foot of Mingqiu Mountain.

The village official in the village, named Wang Qiulong, is nearly fifty years old.The Wang family migrated from Longyou Road to the Western Regions in the early years, and they have lived here for more than [-] years.Because Wang Qiulong has been educated, has some knowledge, and is quite famous, so he serves as the mayor of the village.

Wang Qiulong took the initiative to step forward and said: "King Xia, Wang Qiulong, a grassroots man, is the village official in the village. You are passing by Mingqiu Mountain, and it is getting late, so you can stay in the village for one night and start tomorrow. Right. It just so happens that the Caomin’s house is spacious enough to live in.”

Du Qi smiled and said, "I'm bothering Wang Cunzheng."

"Don't disturb, don't disturb." Wang Qiulong quickly shook his head and said, "It's an honor for our village to have the King come to our village, and we have never had any important people come here in Mingqiu Mountain. It's our honor to visit you in private. ah!"

"My lord, please!"

Wang Qiulong waved his hand to signal Du Qi to go first.

Under the guidance of Wang Qiulong, Du Qi and his group went to the village.The village is at the foot of Mingqiu Mountain, and it is built around the flat and open area at the foot of Mingqiu Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is quite good.

Wang Qiulong's house is backed by mountains and rivers. Although the yard is simple and plain, it is quite spacious.

Enough for Du Qi and his party to stay.

The accompanying guard army could only be stationed outside the mansion, after all, the mansion could not accommodate so many people.Originally, Wang Qiulong meant to call all the soldiers into the mansion so that they could sleep on the floor at night, but Du Qi refused, and just asked Wang Qiulong to take care of everyone's meals.

Even so, Du Qi asked Shangguanyi to give him money, so he couldn't eat and drink for free.

Chapter 974 Reform

reform

Wang Qiulong refused repeatedly, but to no avail.

In the end, I can only accept it.

In the evening, the Wang family prepared meals. During the meal, Du Qi sat in the main seat, and all the male members of the Wang family attended. After drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, Du Qicai looked at Wang Qiulong and said, : "Wang Cunzheng, in the area near Mingqiu Mountain, I took a look at the general life of the people, and it's pretty good."

"It's just that the king's visits and inspections are all on the fly, and he didn't look carefully enough."

"So the specific problems, I'm afraid you people who live in the local area will understand better. Tell me, there are some bad things nowadays."

Du Qi looked at Wang Qiulong with a look of expectation.

Because Wang Qiulong is the village official.

Equivalent to a local snake, he is the one who knows the local situation and the people's livelihood best.

Wang Qiulong said sternly: "My lord, in fact, compared with a few years ago, the age of today is really different. In the past, it was quite good to be able to feed oneself. It is impossible to ask for more, and it is impossible. can not imagine."

"But now, your majesty has exempted agricultural taxes, corvees, etc., and in addition to a few days ago, the government also issued an order that as long as the people have more children, they will be rewarded. Authentic Han people like us register and register children, starting from the third child. At the beginning, until the fourth child, there will be more rewards. In the past, these are unthinkable."

"Now, it's very good."
