"Also, if the Ailao people are not good at farming, the local government can distribute cattle, farm tools, and grain seeds, and send old farmers to teach their skills. Within three years of coming down from the mountain, they can be exempted from the land tax. If a soldier dies fighting for the Yun Kingdom, his name will be
Those who own the land will be permanently exempted from land taxes, and their wives and children will be supported by the government!"
Liu Lao couldn't help being stunned when he heard Xiao Cheng's promise.
She also didn't expect that Xiao Cheng's offer would be so generous. It was so generous that she even doubted its authenticity.
Mr. Liu couldn't help but blurted out:
"Is this true?"
Xiao Cheng looked directly at Mr. Liu, raised his head and said solemnly:
"How can the emperor's words be child's play?"
At this time, even Nan Rongshu, who had been in a daze beside him, couldn't help but look at Xiao Cheng in surprise.
These conditions were much better than they had imagined before.
Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to believe it, Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice:
"There are two reasons why I am so generous. First, I am very sympathetic to the situation of the Ailao people and want to make up for it. Second, it is also because of the current situation in the Yun Kingdom. When I first took power, the people in the court were unstable, and the border troops have not yet been resolved.
.Many things have given me a headache, and I really don’t want you Ailao people to come out and cause trouble again.”
When Xiao Cheng said this, he saw Nan Rongshu and Nan Rongshu nodding slightly, and then continued:
"You, the Ailao tribe, want to live a stable and comfortable life, and I want to maintain domestic stability and order. There is no conflict between the two. Such generous terms are the greatest sincerity I have given!"
When Mr. Liu heard this, he weighed it again and again. His heart was moved and he subconsciously looked at Nan Rongshu.
Feeling the gaze from the clan elder, Nan Rongshu just nodded silently.
Mr. Liu immediately stood up, bowed to Xiao Cheng and said:
"Your Majesty, the people of our tribe have lived in the mountains for a long time and have short-sightedness. Nearly half of them are afraid of the mountains and are unwilling to leave the mountains. It may take some time to get these people to move out of the mountains..."
Well, this was because I wanted to save some money, probably to prevent Xiao Cheng from deceiving the Ailao tribe and then killing them.
It's just that Xiao Cheng didn't have any other ideas, and he wasn't afraid that the Ailao tribe really harbored evil intentions and took the opportunity to hide. From the beginning to the end, Xiao Cheng just needed the young men of the Ailao tribe to train his Miao soldiers.
He nodded and said indifferently:
"It's understandable to be afraid of the unknown. You can personally supervise the migration of the Ailao people out of the mountains."
After hearing this, Mr. Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully to Xiao Cheng:
"Your Majesty's grace, I, the Ailao tribe, are deeply grateful, and are willing to serve Your Majesty with the strength of dogs and horses! Ten thousand tribes are young and strong, and they will be able to assemble within a month and obey Your Majesty's orders!"
"Mr. Liu understands the righteousness, and I feel very relieved... By the way, since these young men and women want to serve in the army, their relatives must take more care of them. Well, these young and strong relatives should follow them to Chiang Mai County
Bar!"
At this time, Xiao Cheng, as if he suddenly remembered something unimportant, ordered lightly.
Xiao Cheng had high hopes for these 10,000 Miao soldiers, so some checks and balances had to be left in place.
As if he didn't understand the deep meaning hidden in Xiao Cheng's words, Mr. Liu bowed again and said:
"Your Majesty is kind and sincere, I am a young man in my clan. I thank you for your kindness!"
Xiao Cheng also smiled gently, making the atmosphere in the palace seem extremely harmonious.
-------------------
The sound of chanting sutras is solemn and solemn. Waves of incense are floating in the air, and the green smoke is rising. There is also the sound of bells ringing thickly, echoing in the mountains and forests.
In the majestic and solemn main hall of Ganye Temple, the young abbot Hui Chi, together with the great master Huikai of this generation, led the monks in the temple to do morning lessons.
However, Hui Chi, the host in the first seat today, has always been a little absent-minded. In a daze, he even read the scriptures wrongly several times.
He was so strange, not to mention the Great Master Huikai sitting next to him, and even some ordinary monks below noticed it.
After reciting several scriptures, Hui Kai opened his eyes, glanced at Hui Chi who was still in a trance next to him, and coughed lightly.
At this moment, Hui Chi finally came to his senses, glanced at the monk below who was watching him, quickly clasped his hands together, lowered his head and said:
"After the morning classes, all the monks dispersed to sweep and remove the dust."
"I sincerely obey the abbot's decree!" All the monks performed Buddhist rituals together, then stood up and left one by one.
After all the monks left, Huikai clasped his hands together, chanted the name of the Buddha, and said softly:
"Amitabha, Abbot, your mind is confused!"
When Hui Chi heard this, he looked bitter and said:
"Master, news has come from Beijing. Wang Xiao was frightened by the assassin and now he stays in the palace to recuperate. Haha, recuperate? I'm afraid house arrest is true! I never expected Xiao Cheng's scheming.
It’s so deep! He pretended to be stupid and lay dormant for a long time, but he really made a comeback.”
When Huikai heard this, his expression remained calm, his eyes were lowered, and he said:
"Everything is fate, don't force it..."
When Hui Chi heard this, he couldn't help but become a little excited, and said anxiously:
"Master, my Buddhist sect has been planning for so long, and everything is ready. It's just this last step, and it's a pity to give up halfway!"
Hui Kai looked at Hui Chi's expression, shook his head and said:
"The emperor's methods were superb. He had previously closed all the gates in the capital, taken over the troops, and managed the order in the city. When the news came back to the temple, all the officials in the court and the army in the capital were already under his control. At this time, the overall situation had been decided.
Trying to force it is useless!"
Hui Chi shook his head repeatedly, breathing a little quickly, and said:
"No, no, there is still a chance! Wang Xiao is under house arrest, and his confidants in the border army must be terrified. As long as he secretly encourages me to pardon his crimes as a clan member, they will definitely obey the order. When the time comes, we should cooperate with each other, and then...
…”
"Abbot!" Hui Kai's face turned sharp and he interrupted Hui Chi abruptly.
"Abbott, we were originally weak, not as powerful as Wang Xiao, so we have no choice but to sit back and watch Wang Xiao threaten the emperor, thinking of waiting for him to usurp the throne and arouse public outrage, and then call on the entire Yun Kingdom to raise troops to resist, and finally return power to the Xiao family!"
"The reason for Wang Xiaoxu and the Snake was for the sake of the people of Yun State and the Xiao family! But now, the emperor has superb methods and has put Wang Xiao under house arrest. The government has returned to the Xiao family. Everyone is happy. Why not?"
Huikai looked helpless and tried to persuade him.
Hui Chi's face turned a little blue, he shook his head repeatedly, stood up suddenly, and said angrily:
"Xiao Cheng endured the humiliation and pretended to be an idiot. He must be a man with deep scheming and evil intentions. Previously, the temple stood by and watched him being bullied by Wang Xiao. There is no guarantee that he did not remember it in his heart! If he thinks about this incident, he will feel karma.
There must be disaster in the temple! As the abbot, I cannot just sit back and watch this happen!"
Huikai opened his mouth to persuade, but before he could speak, Hui Chi suddenly flicked his sleeves and said decisively:
"I am the abbot of Ganye Temple, and all the temples in the Yun Kingdom are headed by me. I am also a clan member of the Yun Kingdom, and I also have great righteousness. As long as I ascend the throne, I will transform the Yun Kingdom into a Buddhist kingdom on earth. I also invite the Dharma Master for such great merits.
And this temple full of monks, give me a helping hand!"
Huikai opened her mouth, hesitated again and again, and finally let out a long sigh, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and chanted the Buddha's name softly, looking like she had no choice but to acquiesce.
When Hui Chi saw Hui Kai's acquiescence, he felt calm in his heart, gave him a Buddhist salute, turned around and left.
Waiting for Hui Chi to leave, Hui Kai slowly raised his head and looked at the compassionate and solemn golden Buddha statue looking down below with pity in the Mahavira Hall. His eyes were deep and calm.
