At this time, the generosity problem mentioned before began to appear.
When the Baiya Army first gained power, it naturally benefited the people. They opened granaries, built roads and houses, and squandered the Baiya Army's money.
People were very happy at first.
But slowly, this excessive expenditure gave the Baiya Army a headache. What would they do in this situation? Suddenly become stingy? That obviously won't work, and the people will be unhappy. The so-called fighting for rice and enmity.
, that’s what I’m talking about.
Last year you gave the people of Baiya two taels of silver per person.
This year it will only be one or two, so fine. If the year is bad, forget it.
As a result, you don’t want to give us one tael next year, and you want to tax us one tael!
Can the people be willing?
At this time, if you stand up and tell them about the roads you built, the walls you built, and the cities you built, who among them will understand you?
Generosity has naturally become a bad virtue.
However, coupled with the psychological changes of the more than one hundred "heroes" of the Baiya Army, they were corrupted by luxury. Why can't they enjoy the days they have lived through life and death and struggle?
Get away from the masses.
What else are you playing now?
Liu Zheng chuckled and said: "Second Master, if my guess is correct, this palace must have been given to the Baiya Army by the Prefect's Mansion, right?"
Yang Ke smiled bitterly: "Young Master is indeed a great talent, and he hit the nail on the head! I also tried to persuade the master back then, but it was just, hey..."
Liu Zheng glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.
It seems that the inside of the Baiya Army is not monolithic.
"Sir, can we take a moment to talk?"
At this time, Yang Ke had completely lost interest in eating, drinking and having fun, so he and Liu Zheng left here and came to the guest room prepared by the Baiya Army for Liu Zheng.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Yang Ke knelt down and cried bitterly: "Sir, save my Baiya Army!"
Liu Zheng was shocked and quickly helped him up: "The second boss must not do this!"
But Yang Ke couldn't afford it, shook his head and cried: "Sir, Yang Ke is stupid and there is really nothing he can do. Over the years, I have been trying to find ways to balance the relationship with the prefect's mansion and the people... However,
Now, now...it's really Yang Ke's fault!"
As he talked, Yang Ke was already crying and heartbroken.
Liu Zheng was moved in his heart and said: "The second master is serious. Baiya Prefecture is a prosperous state and is famous all over the world. Who doesn't know that it is the second master's contribution? It's just..."
Yang Ke was finally helped up by Liu Zheng and laughed at himself: "It's just that in the end, you still fell into that little girl's trap, right?"
Liu Zheng was immediately speechless.
How to evaluate this?
Although Yang Ke has great talents, after all, he did not come back from a later life like him, and he still lacks in some far-sighted issues.
As for Zhang Xiao who engaged in such a situation...
In Liu Zheng's opinion, this is indeed a monster-level existence.
Liu Zheng did not talk nonsense and said: "Second leader, no matter what, the matter is over. At least the Baiya Army still has a very solid foundation and dominance in Baiya. Although the current situation is precarious, you have to believe that the people will be easy.
Numb and habit-forming. The Baiya Army has been established for many years, and the people's desire for change is not strong. Unless something unexpected happens again..."
Yang Ke was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to understand what Liu Zheng meant.
Immediately, I admired Liu Zheng even more.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "So, the posture of the Baiya Army this time is very important!"
He looked at Yang Ke and said calmly: "To put it bluntly, the success of this Jockey Club will directly affect whether the people will continue to support the White Cliff Army!"
Yang Ke woke up from his dream and took a deep breath: "What the young master said is absolutely true!"
Now that Baiya Prefecture has developed towards "mercantilism", the common people will only care about how much benefit this Jockey Club can bring to them! In other words, things have become so straightforward a long time ago.
Bai Qi - The Baiya Army cannot lead the people to make money, will they still support the Baiya Army?
Liu Zheng chuckled: "So, the most important thing is whether the second boss can run the Jockey Club well and ensure that the racecourse is still in the hands of the Baiya Army!"
Yang Ke clasped his fists: "Young Master hit the right note, Yang Ke is not as good as him!"
