Daxia Lingxian

Chapter 204 Deception
Luo Ning received the benefits of [-] armored horses and [-] soldiers, but he still said that "the loss is always there", which really made Sangbu Yundan and others hate it.

They gave out a heavy gift and agreed to such a condition, and they were the ones who lost blood.

Not Luo Ning!

"That's how it is." Sangbu Yundan forced a smile on his depressed face, "From now on, the Lord of Luo City will be our own."

A sentence of one's own people is considered a reconciliation.

"For the matter of the number of troops and armored horses, City Lord Luo still needs to go to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion in Songyuan City to write a document and then handle the official documents..."

Luo Ning nodded, "Don't worry, Jie Shuai, it should be so."

These involve official business, of course, there must be procedures, and it is impossible to get it done in one sentence.

Xibian, Dudu and the others all looked gloomy, but they were helpless.

Although this kind of condition is difficult to accept, the two parties have finally reached a settlement, at least that real person Xue will not make a move.

Just buy peace when you bleed.

After achieving the expected goal, Luo Ning was in a good mood. He raised his wine glass to pay respects, and said with a smile:

"Jieshuai, everyone, we will be our own people from now on. Come, wish me a great victory in the west of Tubo, and long live His Majesty Zanpu!"

Everyone raised their glasses together.Even the Brahma Heart Living Buddha, who also used tea instead of wine, drank this cup to the full.

For a while, the host and guest seemed to be enjoying themselves, chatting and laughing happily, without any grievances.

Sangbu Yundan talked about the past in Wangcheng, Fanxin Living Buddha talked about the "gradual controversy" in the history of Tubo Buddhism, and even Gangla Wangdui, who hated Luoning the most, also talked about "The Sage's Wedding Banquet" while drinking .

Of course, Luo Ning didn't just drink, he also talked high-spirited, with a youthful and high-spirited appearance.

Only Lan Ze was in a daze.He said in his heart, "They are all hypocrites for being friendly so quickly."

But he heard his father suddenly stop drinking and ask:

"Lord Luo, I heard that you only collect tithes in Longcuo, and you don't collect other taxes at all. Even corvee labor is also paid. Is that true?"

He was actually very dissatisfied with this.Because of Luo Ning's actions, it was difficult for other lords to do so.

Luo Ning has become a good person and has a good reputation.But the reputation of other lords is bad.

In Shunzhou right now, there are countless lords and lords who hate Luo Ning.

"It's true." Luo Ning didn't mean to hide it, nor could he. "My national tax in Tubo is originally a tithe. This is the rule of the royal court."

"I don't need to pay the national tax when I receive the dragon wrongly. I take [-]% of the tax and mainly pay it to the princess."

"Jie Shuai, the output of crops in Tubo is low, the ratio of seeds to harvest is only one to five, there are also many snowstorms and wind disasters, and the tithes are actually quite a lot."

Tubo serfs were heavily taxed, half of the annual harvest had to be paid.

But in fact, the royal court did not receive much tax.The royal court only collected tithes.

Most of the taxes paid by serfs were actually handed over to lords at all levels and temples of all sizes.

The result was that the majority of serfs were very poor, but the imperial court was not rich in finances, while the big and small lords and living Buddhas were extremely rich, living a life of extravagance and lust, enjoying the wealth and honor in the world.

This point is similar to Daxia.

The difference is that the moths in Tubo are the lords and monks, and the moths in Daxia are the civil servants and the Ming clan.

But compared to the Daxia farmers, the Tubo serfs were even more miserable.

The peasants in Daxia are poor, but their social status is not low. The core is the issue of distribution and official governance.

The Tibetan serfs were not only poor, but also inferior, the core of which was the issue of hierarchy.

Although Luo Ning did not dare to abolish serfdom, he abolished the heads of lords at all levels, and refused to support temples, and only asked the subjects to pay tithes.

In this way, the burden on the serfs led by Long Cuo was greatly reduced, and their identities were also freed a lot.

Without the name of a farmer, there is the reality of a farmer.

In fact, after the promulgation and implementation of the "City Lord Order", there were no serfs in Longcuoling, only farmers.

The people's life improved day by day, and the four tribes began to recover.

This allowed Luo Ning to gain a lot of popular support, but it also aroused extreme hatred from the top officials of Shunzhou.

Before sending troops to pretend to be bandits to attack Longcuo, it was for revenge.

Lan Ze stared at Luo Ning's face unconsciously when he heard Luo Ning's words.

This person is really different.

"Lord Luo is really kind-hearted and a bodhisattva." Sang Buyundan said after considering it, "It's really like what you said, drinking ice for ten years can hardly cool your blood."

"However... it is easy to give kindness to serfs, but it is difficult to receive kindness. The Tubo people say that the oxen and horses are finally driven. In the words of the Xia people, they are all fearful of power and not virtuous."

"Being too kind to them, raising their appetite, will make things difficult in the future."

Of course, Luo Ning did not agree with Sangbu Yundan's seemingly reasonable ruler theory.

He was kind to serfs, not only because of his humanitarian thoughts, but also because he needed will power and strong soldiers.

The serfs couldn't eat enough to eat, and they were all skinny, so the source of soldiers became a problem.

Without soldiers, greater power cannot be grasped.Without greater power, he will not be able to support Ling Daozhu in the future.

If I can't afford Ling Daozhu...he will die!
"What Jie Shuai said is very true." Luo Ning smiled indifferently, "Anyway, I will be a city lord for ten years at most. If I can do good today, I will do good. After ten years, whoever becomes the city lord will change it. It's not too late."

ten years!

Everyone heard him emphasize again that he would only be the city lord for ten years at most.

Also, as a real disciple, who would want to stay in a small place and be the city lord?
Of course, it's just for the experience of the world of mortals.

When this wolf cub has had enough fun and get the hell out, the Dragon Wrong collar will still be theirs.

Everyone talked about it for a while, and had a perfunctory banquet, and it was almost the same.

How could Sangbu Yundan want to stay longer?stood up and said:
"I'm paying my respects, and I'd like to ask City Lord Luo to tell Lord Zhenjun, and I won't disturb Lord Zhenjun's Qingxiu later."

"You are handsome and polite." Luo Ning also stood up, "I will tell you the truth."

Sangbu Yundan and the others paused before leaving the City Lord's Mansion.

Walking into the city, everyone looked at Longcuo City, which was much more prosperous than before, with complicated expressions.

"This is Long Cuo City?" Lan Ze said, "It seems to be not much worse than Songyuan City."

"Dad." Lan Ze followed Sangbu Yundan closely, "I want to practice outside, so I won't go back home with Dad."

"It's up to you." Sang Buyundan said indifferently, he didn't even look at Lan Ze, and didn't care where she was going at all.

Looking at his father's back, Lan Ze couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Dad, do you really not care about me at all?
Well, since you don't have me in your heart, I will go far away and never go back to Sangbu's house!
Dad, I hate you!

Samblanze looked at the sky, his pupils turned leaden gray.

.........

In the quiet room, Luo Ning and Lu Pianpian were checking the ring sent by Sangbu Yundan.

Both of them were smiling.

"5 yuan in Lingshi!"

There is nothing else in the ring, only spirit stones, up to 5 yuan worth of spirit stones!

Definitely a great gift.

Of course, this was for "Realist Snow", not for Luo Ning.

This is a generous gift from the Shunzhou high-level collective, and it can be said that it is not arrogant.

"For the [-] spirit stones, I only take [-] for the teacher, and the remaining [-] are for you."

Lu Pianpian said generously, "You have to become stronger as soon as possible, and I will point to you to help me in the future."

"If you want to swallow the entire Xifan, you need a lot of resources, and this is just the beginning."

Luo Ning said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, sister and brother are of the same heart, and their benefits can cut through gold."

"What siblings? Master and apprentice!" Lu Pianpian snorted coldly, "You call me sister now, you are trying to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors."

Deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors... Luo Ning laughed dumbly.

"Next month, I will be leaving." Lu Pianpian said suddenly, "I have to do a few things, and I may not come back until autumn."

Luo Ning was not surprised.Lu Pianpian so readily agreed to pretend to be a real person to help him, she must have her own plan.

"My body is parasitic with the Leverage God Gu, and I have the strength of a fifth-grade perfection, and it is enough to protect myself when I walk in the rivers and lakes."

"Su Chuo and I share a common destiny. To protect her is to protect myself. With so many life-saving magic weapons, you can rest assured."

Luo Ning sighed: "Do you have to go? Then I won't see you for at least a few months."

He no longer worried about the safety of Su Chuo and Lu Pianpian, but was reluctant to leave Su Chuo for too long.

"Hey!" Lu Pianpian sneered, "Are you reluctant to part with Su Chuo? You can't stand not seeing her for a few months at most?"

Luo Ning was speechless, "You want to leave, do you agree with Chuoer?"

Lu Pianpian nodded, "Su Chuo has already agreed. If she doesn't agree, the teacher will not help you so happily this time."

"Going out this time as a teacher can be regarded as taking her with me, and it is also an experience for her."

"Besides, we wear your tracking and positioning talisman, and you know our location."

Luo Ning knew that he couldn't stop him this time, so he could only agree: "Okay, I agree. However, the real person's momentum is too ostentatious, and the goal is too big."

Lu Pianpian said: "Don't worry, as a teacher, you can communicate with God Gu and hide the real person's aura."

"Also." Luo Ning added another, "You guys are so good-looking that it's easy to attract covetousness. You must wear a mask and keep a low profile as much as possible."

Lu Pianpian sneered, "As a teacher, I'm an old man. Need you to remind me? You should take care of yourself."

Luo Ning smiled wryly, "Sister Pianran, please don't call yourself a teacher, isn't this taking advantage of me?"
