Chapter 323 The stepping stone to gain popular support
"This is Lord Zhao from China. He came to our village to do business. You must be right when you listen to Lord Zhao." Huowa also heard what Zhao Ming said about the improvement in taxes.
He believed in this, because after receiving modern ideological education during this period, he still had a certain understanding of China. This is a country where the people are in charge of their own country and everything is for the people. He is very fortunate to be one of them himself.
"China?" Dazhuang said in confusion.
"It's that mysterious force, it's called China." Huowa explained. As a local, he knew what kind of expressions could make the other party understand the fastest.
"I've seen Lord Zhao." Da Zhuang hurriedly wanted to kneel down to Zhao Ming, but fortunately Zhao Ming stopped him in time.
Although the other party was taller than him, his cultivation level could not keep up with him, so Zhao Ming still helped the other party up very easily.
This made Dazhuang even more uncomfortable, and even felt a little upset. He looked at Huowa with help from his eyes, wanting him to help him solve his problems.
"Hehe, Dazhuang, we in China have not kneeled down. Lord Zhao is a very good and very knowledgeable wise man. Just listen to him." Huowa's admiration for Zhao Ming was self-evident.
Da Zhuang nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't dare to be as natural as Huo Wa. He followed Huo Wa and Zhao Ming back to the village.
Along the way, Huowa greeted everyone while introducing Zhao Ming to everyone, and asked everyone to notify everyone in the village to go to the village chief’s house for a meeting.
Huowa is the son of the village chief. This situation is the case in most places in Nanming Prefecture. As long as there is a little selfish person, the village chief will give this quota to his son or relatives. Unless one of these people has no one that meets the standards, he can only find some families that have a good relationship with him.
"Dad, mom, I'm back." As soon as Huowa arrived home, he excitedly pushed open the yard door and shouted inside.
Then he said enthusiastically to Zhao Ming beside him: "Brother Zhao, please, this is my home."
"Huowa, why did you go there for so long? It made my mother very worried." An old woman pulled Huowa and looked at him carefully, ignoring Zhao Ming with concern.
However, as Huowa's father, the village chief saw Zhao Ming at first sight and stepped forward and asked:
"What is this gentleman?"
"Dad, let me introduce you to you. This is Brother Zhao, the special envoy of China." Huowa hurried over and said.
"The bastard is neither big nor small." The village chief said, kicking Huowa, causing the other party to kneel down directly, and then he was about to kneel down.
Fortunately, Zhao Ming reacted quickly and directly supported the other party: "Old man, what are you doing?"
"Sir, I am old and have a son. I am too doting to him, so I don't know how to judge him. I dare to call him the elder brother directly. I am not strict in discipline. I also ask for forgiveness. If you want to kill me, kill me. Please forgive me. Please spare the Huowa." The village chief begged for mercy with a worried look on his face.
Ordinary villagers may not know what China represents, but as the village chief, he must know if the people above him are replaced, so he knows that China is the mysterious force that drove away the demon clan.
Since they are special commissioners, they must be high-ranking officials. They used to be just slaves and were just untouchables, and they could not look directly at those adults, let alone call them brothers and brothers.
Huowa knelt on the ground and looked at Zhao Ming with a grievance, and then looked at his old father helplessly.
"Huowa, you can get up too." Zhao Ming said.
Then, Huowa stood up naturally in the old man's trembling eyes, patted the gray layer on his knees, and smiled at Zhao Ming:
"Brother Zhao, my father doesn't understand the goodness of China. He thinks it's still the previous demon clan. Don't be surprised."
"No, no, but your father loves you very much. You must be filial to him in the future." Zhao Ming reminded.
The village chief was confused when he saw the two chatting and laughing.
What's going on?
I seem to be dreaming, is it the way to open it wrong?
"Dad, that's it...so, China is actually a human race, and we are better than the human race in Yaoguang Mansion."
Huowa has a very high sense of identity with China and directly popularized some basic knowledge of China with his father as a master.
"It's actually like this, is it really that good?" the village chief said in a little puzzled.
"Not only this time, I came here to register for everyone's identity. Once I was registered, I will be a member of our country. From then on, everyone will be our own people. The superiors will also provide various tax relief for you, but only those who register as the people of China can get relief." Zhao Ming took out the king bomb very promptly.
The common people don’t think so much. What they care about most is the food, rice, oil and salt. Only by eating and drinking enough can you have the time to think about other things. This is what it means to know honor and disgrace when you have enough granaries.
"Really, really~ as long as you register that certificate, you can reduce taxes?" the village chief asked in disbelief, his voice trembling a little.
Over the years, I have only heard of tax increases constantly, and this is the first time I have heard of tax cuts.
"Dad, Brother Zhao is a special commissioner in China, so what he said is naturally true." Huo Wa said from the side, and he was very happy.
"Yes, yes, yes, Lord Zhao is a special commissioner and represents the senior management. His words must be correct. It's so great. The good life that our ancestors have been looking forward to for countless years is really coming." The village chief said excitedly.
"Please accept a bow from me." The village chief said as he was about to give Zhao Ming a big gift again.
"Okay, no, village chief, Huowa calls me elder brother, I am an ordinary person, I dare not take it as a gift for me." Zhao Ming hurriedly supported the other party.
Huowa looked at Zhao Ming with a grateful look and sweared in his heart that he would make contributions to China. He would be willing to pay his life for this tax cut.
"Miss Minister, are you at home?"
"The village chief, I heard that Huowa has returned and brought an adult back."
Soon, there were more and more people outside the village chief’s yard, and the noise became louder and louder.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming said to the village chief: "Village Chief, please help me greet everyone and introduce me to you. I'm in trouble."
"It's easy to say, please let Lord Zhao later." The village chief said and went to open the door.
Zhao Ming also breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from his previous registration status, with the support of the village chief, the work he took on would be very easy to do.
Otherwise, if the village chief deliberately blocks the village, it would be very troublesome. He had encountered it once before, and it took nearly a month to get the village done, which was a painstaking effort.
The villages with the cooperation of the village chief are different. They are very efficient and they complete the task in a few days. Huoqiu Village is the last village he visited. Because it is very close to the demon clan and is relatively remote, it is finally here.
