    Section 4 Boiling public sentiment

    On December 7, 1920, Lin Fenghan made a decision to send military prosecutors to various villages and towns to verify the population and register their identities. At the same time, they would collect and receive corresponding shares of grain based on their registered identities.

    In the vast territory of more than 40,000 square kilometers, whether they are residents on the islands or people in the plains, whether they are fishing and hunting people or farming people, all the people are discussing the recent general trends.

    In a large village next to Hailin Town, a young boy excitedly said to his father who was farming beside him: "Dad, a few days ago Baron Yiliuyun said that he would give out New Year's gifts to all of us. Today I heard that those grains  The money has been transported to Hailin Town by sea, and we can collect the gifts by relying on the official identity certificate."

    The wrinkled old man in his fifties hit his young son hard on the head and yelled viciously: "Children, just stay and play. It's impossible for those nobles to be kind enough to give us gifts, let alone  Give us money, do you think it¡¯s possible?¡±

    "We have always paid taxes to those nobles, so there is no reason for the nobles to pay us."

    The old man looked at the young man and sighed, and whispered: "My little son, I really hope you can grow up quickly and be smarter than your brothers, and stop indulging in fantasies and expectations. I really hope you can grow up quickly and be smarter than your brothers.  I really want you to understand the real world. All nobles are wolves, tigers and leopards. They intimidate the people to serve them, and no one is exempt."

    "What about Baron Yiliuyun?"

    The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy said unconvinced: "He gave our family four acres of land! If my two brothers join the army, they will have at least eight acres of land, and no taxes will be paid on these fields within a year."  , it¡¯s all our own, and the tax will only be three-tenths in the future, which is much better than those before when we paid six or seven-tenths.¡±

    "Are these also deceiving us?"

    The young man asked the old man, tugging at the sleeves of his many-patched linen clothes.

    "this!"

    The old man cursed in a deep and painful voice: "These may be used to deceive us. They can confiscate the sovereignty of the fields at any time, and taxes and military exclusive farming can also be used to bribe us until we are useless.  Sometimes, they can change the laws at will, which are the methods often used by those hateful nobles."

    "I won't believe them anyway."

    "I will never believe those nobles who are like jackals and tigers, especially those wolves in sheep's clothing pretending to be charitable." The old man roared at his young son and taught him a lesson.

    The same discussions, the same suspicions, and the same things are still happening everywhere.  Although Lin Fenghan issued the order, after much consternation, the officers and civil servants who admired Lin Fenghan arranged for soldiers to supervise each other and took out grain and silver coins from various cities and arrived in various villages and towns, but the people who had been oppressed by the nobles for a long time did not believe it at all.  Lin Fenghan.  Especially in the Senvi area and the Waterdeep Plains area.

    Although there were a few people in the Elante Islands and Waterdeep City who received their own gifts, most people still couldn't believe it was true, and large amounts of food and silver coins had to be stored in villages everywhere.

    In the main castle of Shenmu City, Kelande stood in the hall depressedly and said to Lin Fenghan who was sitting on the high platform: "Baron, many of us have sent grain and silver coins to various towns in accordance with your order, but few farmers have come.  After receiving it, the silver coins placed in the box itself are eye-catching. Many brothers quietly guarded and stole one or two coins, and the food was consumed faster. We have more than 5,000 people scattered in many towns to guard  , these things have hindered the reform of our army and the rest of the soldiers. Now many brothers have begun to complain. They said that if the people do not come to collect it, they will all divide it among themselves. "

    "Presumptuous!"

    Lin Fenghan frowned depressedly, looked seriously at Kelande, Bosmi, Ma Youdun and others who came together and said: "Pass this order, if soldiers and officers accept the benefits of farmers and guard and steal privately, please return them voluntarily within three days."  The corresponding amount of money will be punished a hundred times if found after three days."

    "At the same time, the order continues. The first 100 people in each town to receive the gifts will receive twice the amount of gifts. The last 1,000 people in each town will receive only half the amount of gifts. You can arrange the specific matters by yourself, but you must promise me that every  Everyone who goes to receive it must get at least half of the food and silver coins."

    Lin Fenghan clapped his hands and said, "If we keep doing this, I won't believe they won't receive it."

    "ah!"

    "yes!"

    A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Ke Langde and Ma Youden.They all nodded excitedly and walked away.

    Within a day, under the new government order, some of the decoys and relatives who were driven by the officers took the lead in obtaining numerous gifts and returned to various villages to show off. Suddenly, all villages and towns were excited, and many farmers were pushing wooden boxes on small carts.  He took the bag and headed towards town.

    "Have you received your gift?"

    "Once you get it, hurry up and don't block my way."

    "Yes Yes!"

    "Uncle, I received twenty silver coins and sixty pounds of corn, haha!"

    "Nephew, how did you get so much? I got three silver coins and twenty pounds of corn."

    "Haha, who asked you to go so late? Your nephew is still smart. He got double the New Year's gift with me. Now you are envious!"

    "quick!"

    "quick!"

    "Give it!"

    "Give it a go!"

    The fifty-year-old farmer who had previously persuaded his son not to trust the nobles was in disbelief when he saw that his relatives had actually received a large number of silver coins and grains, and then anxiously pushed the wooden cart into Hailin Town.  Supply distribution point.

    "This little brother, I'm here to receive a New Year's gift. This is my proof of identity." The sweaty old man took out a piece of hard paper from his pocket, with his name, household registration, appearance, and simple portrait written on it.

    The young officer in his thirties found the village household register, checked it, nodded with a smile and said: "Uncle, there is no problem with your household registration. This is to give you five silver coins and ten pounds of wheat."

    "What?"

    The old man slammed the table angrily and shouted: "My son got twenty silver coins and sixty pounds of corn. Why did I get so little? Are you corrupt?"

    "What's going on over there?"

    The forty-year-old centurion-level officer with a supervisor strapped to his arm turned around, stood more than ten meters away and looked at a few people and asked.

    The middle-aged officer looked at the prosecutor, then at the old man, his face changed quickly and he whispered: "Old man, we stayed in various places for three days, and the garrison guarding the gifts in various places consumed part of the food and money, but you  It's been a long time since I came to collect it. The Baron ordered angrily that the first 100 people in each town can get double rewards, while the last 1,000 people will get half the gift. It's unfortunate that you are among these people."

    The middle-aged young officer looked at the angry old man and then at the military prosecutor who came, and laughed softly: "But I happen to still have some food left here. I'm adding ten pounds of wheat to you, so hurry up and leave."  , otherwise if the military prosecutor comes and asks, everyone will have to stay here for one more night."

    "Hey!" The old man looked up at the sky in confusion, and murmured in disappointment: "It's incredible! I really didn't expect that you powerful people would actually give some benefits to us farmers. If I had known, I would have come to receive it.  Why wait until four or five o'clock in the afternoon to come here."

    "Cough! Cough!"

    The young officer coughed lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, old man, as long as you believe in the Elantra government in the future, you will not suffer any losses."

    "Oops! Leave quickly! I'll be in trouble if you don't leave." Looking around suddenly, the young officer urged. The old man looked at the military prosecutor who was walking slowly, shook his head with a wry smile and walked back.  The same disappointing thing happened everywhere. Those who arrived first were very excited and boasted to everyone about the benefits they had obtained. Those who came late to receive gifts bowed their heads and sighed when asked by the villagers. It was a New Year's Eve.  Congratulations, it took the Elantra government half a month to fully complete.
