Chapter 155 One hundred gold is just a seed planted.
Because of the oppression of Qin by other countries, the people of Qin felt suffocated, and because Qin had always been poor.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the people of Qin State, even if they did not trust the government, still supported the Ying family.
When Huang saw this, he looked a little ugly. It was the sorrow of all the old Qin people that the Qin country had fallen to this point.
At this time, Wei Yang and Wang Shi arrived. As Zuo Shuchang and Yueyang Ling, they naturally could not be absent at such an important juncture.
Especially Wei Yang.
This time Tu Mu established his trust not only for the sake of the government, but also for him, the Zuo Shu Chief. In the Qin State, the State House was equal to the Zuo Shu Chief.
Jing Jian told Wei Yang about the situation one by one. Wei Yang frowned, thought for a while, and nodded towards Wang Shi.
Seeing this scene, Wang Shi stepped on the big stone and shouted to the people of the country: "Fathers and brothers of Qin State, merchants from all over the world:"
"I am Wang Shi, the commander of Yueyang. For the sake of the reputation of the Zhao Kingdom, the reward for carrying this log has been increased to thirty gold."
"Whoever carries it to the north gate will receive the reward immediately and will never break his promise!"
Having said this, Wang Shi pointed to the gold on the copper plate held by the clerk next to him: "Look, everyone, this is the reward."
"This Yueyang Ling is the Eastern scholar from the Talent Recruitment Hall. He hasn't done anything since he took office. How can you trust him?"
"Why can't you believe it? He is the Yueyang Order, how can he deceive us common people?" Hearing that the people did not trust Wang Shi, the people arranged by Jingjian quickly made amends.
"snort!"
A middle-aged man smiled coldly and said: "What's wrong with the Yueyang Order? Even the monarch doesn't count, but what he says counts?"
"It must be fake. If you don't believe it, your hard work will be in vain!"
For a time, there were all kinds of sounds, and there was a vague chaos in the Nanshi Market.
Since Wang Shi had just arrived, his prestige was not high, so the scene was a bit cold, and Wang Shi was left hanging on the stage. The people below were talking a lot, but no one moved.
Seeing this, Wei Yang knew that he had no choice but to go up, so he motioned to Wang Shi to come down. Wei Yang went up in person and spoke.
"Dear citizens of the State of Qin and merchants from various countries: I am Wei Yang, the chief of Zuo Shu, and I have been ordered by Duke Qin to take charge of the affairs of the country."
Looking at them with different expressions, excitement and excitement began to permeate the air, but they were still hesitant and talked to each other in groups.
Wei Yang said in a deep voice: "In the past, there were many repeated orders from the government. The common people did not trust the government. Therefore, the Qin people were so poor. The Qin country turned from a strong country to a weak country, and the Qin army suffered successive defeats."
"From today on, what the government says is one, and what the government says is two. Once the government decree is issued, it will never be changed!"
"Today's removal of wood to establish a message is to demonstrate the sincerity of the government. Whoever moves this wood to the north gate will be rewarded fifty gold. This is the first written order I have issued since I became the chief of Zuo Shu.
"
Wei Yang's voice fell, but no one moved. He glanced at the anxious Ying Quliang and others not far away, and couldn't help but frown.
He knew in his heart that this scene must go on and must go on.
"Father, let me try." At this time, a panicked voice came, which attracted Huang's attention.
"You are not allowed to go. You are too young to understand. How can the government give you money?" The old man shook his head and looked at his grandson's sincere words and said, "Don't have such a dream. This is simply wishful thinking."
The young man's eyes were full of worry. He tugged on the old man's clothes and hesitated before speaking: "Father, your illness..."
"You're not allowed to go." The old man scolded in a low voice, his old face full of worry: "Don't cause trouble for me. If you offend the government, we won't be able to leave!"
This scene all fell into Huang's eyes, and he also knew that the old Qin people had always been disappointed with the imperial court.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade, he heard Wei Yang's voice coming again.
"Today, I start by establishing trust in the government with nothing but wood. From now on, the government will be faithful to its words and be resolute in its deeds."
Wei Yang looked at the old Qin people and said in a solemn tone: "Everyone, I, Wei Yang, came to Qin in response to Duke Qin's request for a wise man. I was appointed as the chief of the left concubine of the Qin State and took charge of the country. I came here to strengthen Qin."
"If you want to strengthen Qin, you must have the people trust the government, and the government's orders must be followed, so that Qin can change. Whoever moves to Mubeimen will receive a reward of one hundred!"
Increase the price again.
Huang couldn't help but nodded. He could see that some people were already a little moved. Wei Yang's methods were very powerful.
One hundred gold is exchanged for the people's trust in the government and the people's hope for the Qin State.
Huang knew clearly that the stalemate could not continue like this. He needed to add fuel to the flames of these common people so that Tumu Lixin could become completely powerful.
As soon as he thought about it, Huang approached the old man and said, "Old man, why not let the next generation try it!"
Having said this, Huang looked at the young man with ragged clothes, bare feet and long hair and smiled, and said: "Go and try. If the government doesn't give you a reward afterwards, I will give you thirty gold, and you can use it to treat your uncle's illness."
?”
"good."
When the young man saw Huang opening his mouth, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement. Anyway, he was just giving a small amount of effort. Regardless of whether the government kept its word, he would be able to get money to treat the old man.
"I come!"
The young man pushed aside the crowd in front, walked up, put the log on his shoulders, and headed towards the north gate.
Wei Yang and others quickly followed.
In order to verify whether the government kept its word, for a while, a large number of people in the southern city put down their work and headed towards the north gate.
They wanted to see if the government would keep its word. At this moment, the people of Lao Qin were looking forward to it.
"Sir, why are you?" The old man looked at Huang, frowned, and said.
He glanced at the old man and explained with a smile: "Old man, I am a businessman. The government's trustworthiness is very important to us and other merchants."
"Originally, I wanted to move the wood, but I didn't have enough strength. I saw that your grandson is strong and has a lot of strength, so..."
"Old man, please also go to the north gate and take a look." Having said this, Huang said to the car driver who had arrived in advance: "Go with the old man. If the government breaks its promise, you will give the old man thirty gold."
"promise."
The old man looked at Huang for a while, then looked at the end of the car and nodded, saying, "Okay."
"Old man, thank you very much sir."
After sending the old man away, Huang met Ying Quliang and others. Ying Quliang looked solemnly and said to Huang, "Can the common people believe what Master Zuo is doing?"
"This is just the beginning. Chinese people will have a sense of expectation. Restoring the prestige of the government will not happen overnight."
Huang shook his head and turned to Ying Quliang: "Zuo Shu Zhang Tumu Lixin just planted a seed in the hearts of the people. The next actions of the court are extremely important."
"As long as the government does not change its orders overnight, and as long as the government makes a promise, it must fulfill it. If this continues, the people will naturally trust the government."
"Today Zuo Shuchang just spent a hundred gold to buy a hope and tell the old Qin people that Qin is about to change."
