In a village, a rent reduction order has just been implemented here!

According to the rent reduction order, the landlords in the village must not rent more than 30%! Moreover, the landlords must not have land without planting, which means there cannot be wasteland! If he cannot plant all of them himself, he must rent them out!

This rent reduction order was a redistribution of social wealth. The poorest Song Dynasty peasants in history finally saw hope for life change to some extent! The gratitude for Zhao Chen is conceivable!

And at this moment, the staff of the Propaganda Department entered the village!

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he is also dressed as a farmer. He can't tell the identity of an official at all! In fact, he is an important member of the Propaganda Department!

At the beginning, Wang Shu presided over the Propaganda Department, mainly recruiting scholars and literati to join them. As a result, many scholars and literati had no eloquence and would only read them hard. When propaganda was published, they would only read them according to the book, and few people listened to them. Only then did Wang Shu know that something was wrong! Later, after Wang Shu asked Zhao Chen for instructions, anyone who could speak and speak, whether it was a scholar or a farmer porter, could join the Propaganda Department as long as they had the ability to "speak". After these people entered the Propaganda Department, they became officials, with their status far exceeding the past, so they naturally worked hard and did not dare to fall behind!

"This time the imperial guards went to Guanshan and defeated the Jurchens! Do you know why the imperial guards could defeat the Jurchens?" The "farmer" in the Propaganda Department stood among a group of farmers and spoke.

"Why is that?" said an old man next to him.

"That's because the imperial guards were the army trained by His Majesty, and at that time, His Majesty was in charge of his own command, so that he could defeat the Jurchens! A genius like His Majesty, we Han people only produced one for thousands of years! If we ordinary farmers do what His Majesty said, we can get a good harvest! If we do what His Majesty said, we can become the top scholar! If the army does what His Majesty said, we can win! In short, just one sentence, following His Majesty closely is victory, and executing His Majesty's instructions is victory!" The man said.

The people next to him heard the eyes of the emperor, and they felt that the emperor was like a god, like a god. They were all mortals standing on the ground and could only look up to the emperor!

"Do you know which god is the largest in the sky and under the earth?" the man said again.

"Who is it?" asked an old farmer next to him.

"Of course, he is the great Pangu master who created the world! The great Pangu master opened the world and created the earth. Nuwa made the earth and created humans. Later, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors taught sentient beings. Only then can we Han people survive in the Central Plains and create brilliant civilizations, better than all barbarians! Pangu master later transformed into the Three Pure Ones, and the most powerful of them was Yuanshi Tianzun! More than ten years ago, Yuanshi Tianzun watched the scenery of the mortal world in the sky. He saw a black evil dragon appearing in the north. He knew that this evil dragon was going to harm the world, so he personally came down to earth and prepared to kill the evil dragon! This evil dragon is the Jurchen. After Yuanshi Tianzun came down to earth, do you know who he was reincarnated as?" The man said again.

"Who?" Everyone has a common answer in their hearts, but they didn't say it. They all looked at this "farmer" in anticipation, hoping that what he said was the same as the answer in his heart!

"Of course it's Your Majesty! Your Majesty is Yuanshi Tianzun who came to earth to destroy the Jurchens!" said the man.

"It's Your Majesty! I'm right! No wonder Your Majesty was able to defeat the Jurchens. He was Yuanshi Tianzun who came to earth and no one was his Majesty's opponent!"

"I just said that Your Majesty was only ten years old that day and could escape from Kaifeng. Later, he was even more killed by Zhe Keqiu at a young age! It turned out that his origin was such an extraordinary one, and he actually came to the earth by Yuanshi Tianzun!"

"Your Majesty is a god walking on earth! We are absolutely right to listen to your Majesty!"

For a moment, the people around were talking, and the "farmer" showed a proud expression on his face.

"Today, Your Majesty issued a rent reduction order, and we will rebuild our kindness. We must be grateful to Your Majesty! May Your Majesty live forever, long live long!" The "farmer" suddenly knelt down and said in an extremely excited voice.

"Your Majesty will live forever, long live long!" The people around him knelt down with the man and shouted in unison.

"I once saw Your Majesty from a distance. At that time, I knew that Your Majesty was a god descending to earth. After I returned, I carefully recalled Your Majesty's appearance and drew your Majesty's appearance! Today I will give you this portrait. Every morning and evening from now on, you will ask for instructions and report to Your Majesty's portrait. Your Majesty will definitely send you a dream and tell you what to do!" The man stood up and said.

He took out a painting and saw that the painting was extremely exquisite. On it, Zhao Chen was wearing a dragon robe, holding a sword, with sharp eyes, as if looking at the horizon in the distance. At Zhao Chen's feet, there were white clouds, golden lights everywhere! This portrait is not much different from the portraits of gods in this era!

After seeing the portrait, the people around him knelt down again!

After that, the people here enshrine the portrait in the ancestral hall. They come here every morning and at night to ask for instructions and report. As the saying goes, there are thoughts and dreams. Some people really dream about Zhao Chen. When they wake up in the morning, they are filled with tears. This is another matter.

*******

The implementation of the rent reduction order in Hanzhong encountered some resistance, but the resistance was limited! This has a lot to do with Zhao Chen's killing of imperial officials. When the change was sought, only a dozen of thousands of officials in Hanzhong could survive, and the rest were all killed! These officials had more or less connections with the local forces in Hanzhong. After they died, the local forces in Hanzhong had already suffered a great blow! Now a group of newly-up officials cannot confront the imperial court at all!

However, the rent reduction incident reached Sichuan, and many officials and gentry in Sichuan were in an uproar and opposed it! Wu Jie and Wu Lin had to be vigilant. Finally, Zhao Chen issued an edict in the name of the Military Affairs Office, saying that Sichuan would not implement the rent reduction order, and the officials and gentry in Sichuan calmed down!

However, the Military Affairs Office issued another order at the same time. The court had just taken back Guanshan, where there was a lot of land. The court encouraged Sichuan people to go to Guanshan to reclaim wasteland! As long as all wasteland is reclaimed, it belongs to the farmers themselves, and it is exempted from tax for three years! In addition, seeds and farm tools are provided by the court!

After learning this news, countless farmers in Sichuan were ready to go to Guanshan! But they all knew that the north had just experienced a war, and no one knew whether the Jurchens would come again, and no one knew whether there was any danger there! In the end, only some farmers who were very brave or couldn't survive in their hometown would go to Guanshan! In a whole month, only tens of thousands of people went north! These few tens of thousands of people were not enough to fill the population gap in Guanshan!

But Zhao Chen has no better way, and he cannot force immigration! There are indeed cases of forced immigration in all dynasties, but it is usually at the beginning of the founding of the country, such as the immigration of Hongdong Dahuaishu in the early Ming Dynasty, the filling of Sichuan in Huguang in the early Qing Dynasty, etc., which are all under the unification of the country, and only without external troubles dare to implement such a strategy! Now the world is chaotic, and it is not a good time to implement forced immigration at all! Moreover, Zhao Chen feels that as long as the work of the Propaganda Department is in place, it is possible for the people to immigrate spontaneously in the future!

In mid-April, Zhao Chen only brought a dozen guards to the private private visit of the people and saw an incredible scene! In a village, a scholar stood there to promote "personal worship" and there was "emperor's quotes" everywhere on the walls of the village. I don't know how Wang Shu's Propaganda Department compiled these quotes, many of which had an incitement effect!

He stayed there, and then suddenly a few farmers arrived. The farmers knelt on the ground and kept kneeling at him!

It turned out that Zhao Chen's portrait had been "printed" in large quantities and was distributed to the homes of countless farmers! The portraits of Zhao Chen were enshrined in the homes of these farmers, so as soon as Zhao Chen appeared, they recognized Zhao Chen's identity!

These farmers knelt there. When the farmers in the distance saw the scene here, they all came here and knelt on the ground!

The eyes of these farmers regard Zhao Chen completely different from those of others before! Those people used to know that Zhao Chen was the emperor, but they were just emperors, and they just looked at Zhao Chen with awe! And these farmers looked at Zhao Chen with a crazy, admiring, and faithful look!

Zhao Chen was stunned!

He knew that the Propaganda Department had been doing publicity, but he didn't know that the Propaganda Department was actually doing personality cult-style publicity!

"Damn it! What is he doing with this Wang Shu?" Zhao Chen was furious.

He no longer had the interest in private visits. After saying a few words, he immediately turned around and left, preparing to return to Hanzhong!

"What did Your Majesty say just now? Have you remembered it? What Your Majesty said is the truth. You must remember every word of Your Majesty in your heart!" The farmers in the distance were talking a lot!

"Okay, don't make a noise! ​​I'll tell you later! You can do farm work first. At night, let's remember the bitterness and sweetness! Before Your Majesty implemented the rent reduction order, the people's lives were difficult, but now they were happy! We must remember the bitterness and sweetness and remember the kindness of Your Majesty!"

...

Zhao Chen returned to the palace, his face turned gloomy!

Seeing Zhao Chen's appearance, Lin Bao said nervously: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Zhao Chen said: "Go and find Wang Shu! Come find him immediately!"
Chapter completed!
