Although Ning Xiaofan said he couldn't bear the death of those people, he didn't say anything more at this point. As he said before, what his brother did was what he meant, no matter what his brother did.
Good or bad, he, Ning Xiaofan, was willing to bear it.
When the Ning Family Army's White Tiger Battalion, led by Ning Xiaofan, Li Hu and others, walked to the front of Xinyi City, the city gate opened immediately, and a group of people quickly came out.
When the brothers from Baihu Camp saw the people coming out, they immediately prepared for battle.
Ning Xiaofan looked at the leader who came out with a smile.
This person is none other than Chen De from the Chen family.
After Chen De walked out, he immediately came to Ning Xiaofan and bowed respectfully.
"General Ning, I have been waiting for a long time. Please invite General Ning and other generals to enter the city."
Ning Xiaofan smiled and said to Chen De: "Brother Chen, let's go to the city together."
Then Ning Xiaofan and Chen Dao walked directly into the city, followed closely by the brothers from Baihu Camp.
Li Hu looked surprised.
"It turns out that Mr. Ning also knows someone here." Li Hu said to Lu Wen next to him in surprise.
Lu Wen said: "Mr. Ning came into the city at night last night. What did you think he was doing?"
Li Hu said: "But looking at this person named Chen, it seems that Yu Ning has been a good friend for a long time."
"Haha, for this person named Chen, we, Mr. Ning, are the masters here. How can a dog dare to be disrespectful to its master? Doesn't he want to eat bones?"
When Li Hu heard Lu Wenzi's words, he immediately burst into laughter.
Soon everyone entered the city, and now the city was in a mess.
Obviously, while Ning Xiaofan and others were fighting, some battles also took place in the city, and these battles were naturally between the participants and some people left by Yuan Guo.
In fact, it is said that these people are from the Yuan Kingdom, and they have just surrendered to the Yuan Kingdom and are just pretending to be powerful here.
"General Ning, these are all locals, but after the Yuan people came, they immediately surrendered and followed the lackeys. How should we deal with these people?"
There were four or five people kneeling in the street. These people had been beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. It was obvious that they had been treated inhumanely before.
Ning Xiaofan didn't even look at these people, but said to Chen De: "County Magistrate Chen, you are now the county magistrate of this city. Naturally, you have the final say on these matters. We people only care about this city."
military."
When Chen De heard Ning Xiaofan's words, he felt extremely happy.
This is obvious. Ning Xiaofan told Chen De last night that Chen De should be the county magistrate.
Although Chen De didn't know the county magistrate very well, he knew very well that he was the chief executive of this city. It can be said that except for the military aspect, he could not control other aspects of the city.
He's in charge.
In other words, he is Ning Xiaofan, a civil servant under the Tu Emperor.
Of course, in this chaotic room, military generals are more popular.
Chen De quickly knelt on the ground and said to Ning Xiaofan: "Thank you, General Ning, for your cultivation. I will always be loyal to General Ning."
"Haha, get up."
Ning Xiaofan said: "Choose some places for the sergeants to have a good rest."
"General Ying, don't worry, I will get it done as soon as possible."
Ning Xiaofan said: "Brother Chen, I believe in your ability, but I still want to warn you. No matter what time, you must not disturb the people, let alone bully the people. If you let me know that Brother Chen has done this, I will hate it."
If things happen, then Brother Chen, even if I don't want to punish you at that time, I can't go against public opinion."
Chen De was shocked when he heard Ning Xiaofan's words.
He really didn't expect that Ning Xiaofan would say such words at this time.
However, although the words Ning Xiaofan said were not very loud, the people around him had already heard them. It was obvious that the words Ning Xiaofan said were naturally what the people were willing to hear.
As the saying goes, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. Ying Xiaofan knows this very well. If the people do not support you, then even if you sit on the position of emperor, they will pull you down.
So what Ning Xiaofan has to do is win the hearts and minds of the people.
How can we win the hearts and minds of the people? This is actually very simple. Reduce the tax burden, let everyone have food to eat, and let everyone have clothes to wear. In fact, isn't this what the people want?
"Mr. Ning, don't you want to increase the tax burden immediately?"
Ning Xiaofan looked at Chen De and said, "What are you doing with these extra taxes? Does County Magistrate Chen want to commit corruption now?"
Chen De immediately said: "Mr. Ning, you really misunderstood me. What I mean is that the tax burden collected is for the brothers of the Ning Family Army. After all, the brothers of the Ning Family Army also need food and grass."
Ning Xiaofan said: "We are regular troops, not bandits, let alone robbers. I hope you, Brother Chen, will not become bandits, let alone robbers."
"General Ning, I don't dare."
Ning Xiaofan said: "It seems we should make a notice. Brother Chen, where are we going now?"
"Go to the General's Mansion. That's where the Yuan army commanders were before. General Ning should be living there now."
"Okay, let's go now."
Ning Xiaofan said and got on the horse.
Chen De also mounted his horse and walked forward slowly.
However, when they were not far away, Ning Xiaofan suddenly stopped his horse. He saw many people standing on both sides of the road, wearing very shabby clothes.
He got off the horse and found an old man in his sixties or seventies.
When the old man saw Ning Xiaofan walking in front of him, he hurriedly knelt down.
Ning Xiaofan quickly stretched out his hand to help the old man up.
"General, we didn't break the law."
Ning Xiaofan looked at the panicked old man. He knew that people in this era were very scared when they saw an official.
"Don't be afraid, old gentleman. May I ask what you do for a living?"
"Grow the land."
"How many acres of land do we have at home?"
"Four acres of land."
"It's quite a lot. It should be enough for this year."
When the old man heard Ning Xiaofan's words, he flopped again and knelt on the ground.
"General, my little family really has no food left. We really can't continue to pay taxes."
Ying Xiaofan heard what the old man said was pretty much what he had guessed.
Obviously, although the old man has land, he may not even be able to afford food because of the heavy tax burden.
Ning Xiaofan said: "Old sir, there will be no tax collection this year."
When the old man heard Ning Xiaofan's words, his face was full of surprise and confusion. It was obvious that he had no idea how Ning Xiaofan could say such a thing.
At this time, the people next to him also looked at Ning Xiaofan in surprise.
At this moment, Lu Wen came over.
He looked at the people in front of him and said: "Aren't you happy that we have been exempted from taxes for a year? This is the first gift our General Ning has given us."
