Chapter 89: public opinion

    "Someone is Jin Daqian, the housekeeper of the Shu Pce, who was specially ordered to recruit corvee here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!" Jin Daqian said loudly.


    The people around you look at me, I look at you, a bolder young man said: "Is the three penny a day thing true?"


    "The king of Shu promises a thousand pieces of gold, and if he says it''s three renminbi a day, it will definitely be three renminbi!" Jin Daqian replied.


    Someone said: "You officials count on what you say, why should we believe your words!"


    Jin Daqian looked at Li Yin and saw Li Yin nodded, "Now the king of Shu bought ten buckets of rice in Nanshi, whoever transports these rice to the mansion of the king of Shu and returns to this ce, I will give him a hundred coins, who Strong men are willing to try!"


    "One hundred coins? You can buy thirty buckets of rice. You can''t finish it in a few months. It''s true!"


    "Is there such a good thing? How is it possible? Earn a hundred coins for such a little work?"


    "Only fools will be fooled, and these officials and lords will make fun of us people!"


    "..."


    Themon people say a word to each other, and no one is willing to try it for a long time. At this time, a thin young man is walking out of the city gate with a look of decadence on his back. He is an iron bull. To order rice, but there are too many people selling firewood in the city, and no one cares about it from morning to night. Thinking that tonight and my mother will have to rely on wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, he feels ufortable for a while.


    Seeing how busy the entrance of the market was, Tieniu walked over and asked, "What happened, why are there so many people?"


    One person said: "It is said that the king of Shu gave a hundred Wen to send ten buckets of rice to the mansion of the king of Shu. Are you watching the fun?"


    "One hundred Wen!" Tieniu opened his mouth, remembering what his mother said about the king of Shu recruitingbor in Yizhou City, and said, "Anyone apply?"


    "It''s been a long time, and no one has applied for the job. It''s worth a penny or two to transport something. How could it be a hundred pennies? It must be a lie. Who would dare to believe this Yizhou official!"


    A schr interjected: "But with the word ''wang'', he is the heir of the current emperor, not an official in Yizhou, maybe it is true!"


    "Then why don''t you go?"


    "How can a certain schr do that kind of rough work!"


    "I bother!"


    Tieniu was hesitant to listen to the discussions in his ears. The family has been out of food for almost a month, and the olddy in the family will definitely not be able to survive in this way.


    After waiting for a long time, still no one came forward, Li Min''s heart sank. The court''s loss of trust with the people is a sign that the building is about to copse. The distrust of state officials should take advantage of the trend to grasp the hearts of the people in their own hands. With the support of the people, Yizhou will be its own camp in the future.


    Thinking of this, Li Yin walked up to the notice and said: "A certain is the king of Shu, the sixth son of the current emperor, who is ordered to lead the military administration of Yizhou, and he has said a lot. If anyone sends these ten buckets of rice to the pce, it will be a waste of money." The one hundred penny is his!"


    "King of Shu!"


    "Is he the king of Shu?"


    "..."


    The words of Li Yin made themon people look shocked, and they all looked at Li Yin in fear, and there was a sudden silence before the announcement.


    "I''ming!" Just then, a person raised his hand.


    Li Yin''s eyes lit up, it was a young man with firewood on his back, sallow and thin, quite thin, but his eyes were quite cold, he put down the firewood, squeezed through the crowd, bowed in front of Li Yin and said: "His Royal Highness, Caomin is willing to give it a try." !"


    "Okay, Jin Daqian asked someone to carry the rice up!" Li Yin heaved a sigh of relief, he was afraid that there would be no leader.


    The eyes of the people immediately focused on the young man, doubts, gloating, contempt, and so on.


    "What''s your name, sir?" Li Yin began to worry that such a thin body would be able to transport two hundred catties of rice to the pce? It takes two miles to get here from the pce.


    "Wei Tieniu!"


    Li Yin smiled and said, "Strong man please!"


    Wei Tieniu nced at the bag of rice on the ground, gritted his teeth, let out a roar, and lifted two hundred catties of rice with both arms.


    Li Yan blushed, and couldn''t help thinking, were all the ancients so powerful?


    "Follow me, please!" A servant of the royal family walked in front to lead Wei Tieniu, and themon people booed and followed, waiting to see the joke.


    Although Tieniu''s body is thin and weak, he is still a well-known figure in the vige. This is due to his natural strength, but even so, he has no strength after starving for a month. Carrying the two hundred catties of rice is a step. After a meal, it was very strenuous, but thinking of his olddy at home, he stubbornly walked towards the Shu Pce.


    Tie Niu''s difficult appearance made the surrounding people gradually feel pity, and the initial ridicule gradually turned into encouragement...


    After waiting for an hour, Li Yin and Jin Daqian, who were waiting in front of the notice, saw Wei Tieniu walking towards the notice surrounded by the people.


    "His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Wei Tieniu was drenched in sweat, his chest heaved violently, and the people stood behind him, all looking at Li Yin.


    "Jin Daqian!" Li Yin called out, and Jin Daqian immediately handed Li Yin the consistent money.


    Li Yin untied the twine and said, "Wei Tieniu open your hand!"


    Hearing this, Wei Tieniu stretched out his hand tremblingly, and the people around him stared intently at the string of copper coins in Li Yin''s hand.


    "Ten, twenty...ny, one hundred!" Li Yin put copper coins in Wei Tieniu''s hands one by one in front of everyone.


    "Really gave!"


    "If I knew it earlier, I would have done it, hey!"


    "Who would have thought it was true!"


    "..."


    Wei Tieniu''s hands trembled more and more. When had he seen so much money? Looking at the copper coins in his hand, Wei Tieniu had tears in his eyes, and said gratefully, "Thank you, His Royal Highness Shu!"


    Li Yin patted Wei Tieniu on the shoulder and said, "Good job!" Then he turned to the onlookers, "No matter what the officials in Yizhou are, I will never let you down. Now the Shu Pce has recruited 3,000borers. Sign up now!"


    "Your Highness, I''m signing up!" Wei Tieniu said.


    "I!"


    "I!"


    "And I!"


    Someone in the crowd kept making noises.


    "Okay, Jin Daqian write down their names!" Li Yinughed.


    The people around heard the words, stepped forward one by one, and began to report their names to Jin Daqian.


    "Mother!", Wei Tieniu came into the house with a bag of rice on his back and a three-pound fish in his hand. Wei Tieniu''s mother was lighting a fire to cook, and the astringent smell of wild vegetables wafted out of the pot. When Wei Tieniu came back, he med him. : "Why did youe back sote, it''s getting dark!"


    Wei Tieniu didn''t answer, but excitedly put the bag in front of his mother, opened the bag, "Mother, what do you think this is?"


    "Where do you get so much rice?"


    Wei Tieniu smiled foolishly, and told his mother about his encounter in Yizhou City.


    "Son, this King of Shu is a good official, remember to work hard for him in the future, don''t bezy, you know?"


    "Mother, don''t worry, there is such a good thing, how can I bezy, before it was dealing with officials in Yizhou, but now this King of Shu is different!"
