06 Happy to see local tyrants
When something gradually becomes a habit, it sometimes has very terrible consequences.
Li Changsheng treated Ye Xuan with the attitude of treating his former city lord, and completely forgot one thing, perhaps not just him, but even all the big families in the entire Hei Shui City.
Ye Xuan is not only the lord of Hei Shui City, but also the lord of this land.
Although the city lord and the lord are only one word different, their identity, status, and power are absolutely different.
Generally speaking, the city lord can be regarded as a manager, while the lord is a ruler.
When Li Changsheng and a group of slaves were imprisoned in the city lord's mansion, the other wealthy families in Heishui City suddenly woke up. The boy they thought was not good at being tired!
The charge Ye Xuan convicted Yu Changsheng was very simple.
rebel!
Threat the lord in public, even clamoring that he would not let the lord go. What is this not rebellion?
When Ye Xuan ordered the soldiers to arrest Li Changsheng and a group of evil servants, and declared the other party's crime righteously, a series of prompt sounds rang out in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 3 faith points from resident XX."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 2 faith points from resident XX."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 2 faith points from resident XX."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining..."
A large wave of faith values suddenly came, which surprised Ye Xuan and suddenly had some insights.
Previously, he used his faith value to exchange for rice. Although the people were very grateful, he did not develop any faith. Now, after he took action to punish Li Changsheng and a group of evil servants, he obtained the faith value from the people.
It is also something that helps the people, but only the subsequent thing can obtain faith value.
Based on this, Ye Xuan guessed that as long as it is used to exchange it with the faith value, it will not generate faith value again if it is used directly.
Otherwise, you just need to constantly exchange the required items to save others, and you can unlimitedly win the faith value.
However, as long as it is not given directly, there is a chance to generate faith values.
For example, Ye Xuan was not afraid of the power of the city's big families at all, and resolutely arrested Li Changsheng and a group of evil servants, and even confiscated his home on the charge of rebellion.
All of these things are seen in the eyes of the people of Heishui City. In the past, everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out. Now when they see the evil people fallen, they all applaud.
Especially when the new city lord took action when Li Changsheng bullied civilians, the favorability he generated was naturally higher.
Ye Xuan knows one thing well: know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!
After knowing that he had become the lord of this land, Ye Xuan read the book immediately, the provisions on the authority of the lords in the laws of the Great Shang Dynasty.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that if this land was compared to a small country, then the lord was the king, who could customize his own laws, generate all his own autonomy, possess his own troops, etc.
This is completely the existence of a country and China. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a vassal state of the Great Shang Dynasty.
Of course, since you have all the benefits, you will take full responsibility for the risks. If you cannot bear them, you can ask for support, but you must pay a certain price.
In addition, a certain amount of property must be paid to the dynasty every year, otherwise the crime of "disrespect" will be held accountable, with a double fine at the least, and a military force will be sent to conquer the crime.
This should be considered a different version of the land lease agreement, and the final right of interpretation belongs to the Great Shang Dynasty!
Ye Xuan reached the final conclusion on this, but he had a deeper understanding of the lord's rights. As long as he was in this land, he would be a one-man rule. He said that you rebel, you would rebel, and no one could object!
So, when a team of soldiers rushed into the Li family's house and searched the house, the other wealthy families in Heishui City who were heard could no longer sit still and gathered in the Huang family again to seek countermeasures.
"These are people's money and money cream!"
Ye Xuan looked at the record book of the Li family. Not to mention anything else, the grain alone had a total of 200,000 kilograms.
After the inventory was completed, Ye Xuan immediately paid the food and wages owed by the original city lord. The money he had just moved into the treasury of the city lord's mansion was still in time to warm up, so he had already gone to 70 or 800 yuan, which made the financial officer Pei Qian tremble.
But even the rest is enough for Hei Shui City to run for a month.
No matter where you are, the king is the way to be hard, especially as a lord in one place, mastering military power is the king.
The more than 100 defenders in Heishui City are Ye Xuan's ace, and they must focus on taking care of and win over.
In the past, the original city lord did not attach much importance to the guards of Heishui City because he had already become a group of big families in the city and had privately given them, so there was no trouble at all. In addition, his responsibilities and rights were generally not used to guards.
The fact that you have to fill your personal pockets and arrears of food and wages will happen naturally.
Originally, with the establishment of Heishui City, there should be at least thousands of defenders, but with the absence of prosperity, the various inactions and even difficulties of the original city lord, the number of defenders has decreased year by year. If it were not for the ugliness of the ugliness, the number of defenders might not even have a hundred.
I have to say that the former city lord was also a little clueful. The food and wages for that month were not paid for the time being. This month, the food and wages for last month were paid, and these guards were kept hanging on them.
If you leave in anger, you will lose your monthly salary. If you continue to stay, the monthly salary will only allow your family to have enough food and clothing.
As for mutiny, for these simple and native big-headed soldiers, as long as they can survive, they will not go to that point unless they have to. It is nothing to suffer a little and cannot implicate their family.
Ye Xuan used other people's money to enhance his reputation. Although he was buying people's hearts, when he saw the more than one hundred guards' happy appearance, he was discussing what to buy for his family. He couldn't help but smile.
It is indeed a welcome thing to fight against the rich.
"Report to the lord, Huang Wanjin, the head of the Huang family, asked for a meeting!" Pei Qian saw Ye Xuan's ruthlessness and decisiveness with his own eyes today, and finally recognized the gap between the lord and the city lord. He was full of expectations for the future, and now even his name has changed.
"It's not too late to call me the lord when I take back my land. Let's call me the city lord now." The more Ye Xuan understood the situation of this fiefdom, the more he felt that things were not simple.
Hei Shui City is only part of it, and the other parts have all changed hands.
"Yes, Lord City, how should I reply?" Pei Qian asked.
"The city lord is busy with official duties, let him wait!" Ye Xuan said calmly,
"Master Lord, this...is not good. Huang Wanjin is from Hei Shui City..." Pei Qian frowned, hesitating and nervous.
The Huang family has mastered the economic lifeline of Heishui City. If they offend them, they will be in a difficult life in the future.
"Pei Qian, you have to remember that I am the one who is the one who is the leader of Hei Shui City today. Even if he is a dragon, he has to be plastered for me. He is a tiger, and he has to be lying for me, otherwise..."
A cold light flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes, and he glanced at the direction of the door, Leng Sen said: "Today's Li Changsheng is tomorrow's Huang Wanjin!
