Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1192

Chapter 1192: Chapter 1186: Righteousness

Then it was heard that Bai Qingyan planned to register the common people under Da Zhou’s household register, allocate houses and land, and have the people write promissory notes to the government, to be paid off in thirty years. Not only that, but every year, the people would have to pay interest to the government!

The city-guarding General’s mind cleared at once. It turned out that the Emperor of Da Zhou allowed the Xiliang people to leave previously so that they could wait here, intending to incorporate all these Xiliang people into Da Zhou without burdening the financial departments of Zhou...

Indeed, the Emperor of Da Zhou was not ordinary. Using this method, he not only made the Xiliang people deeply grateful but also avoided increasing the pressure on the Ministry of Revenue.

Bai Qingyan delayed in Suining City for three days. Yecheng Pass had sent quite a few Xiliang refugees, along with people running from the cities captured by Yan to Suining City, clearly... Suining City could no longer accommodate them.

Thus, on the twenty-first of January, Bai Qingyan arranged the new policies for Suining City and departed with Chun Zhi, the troops, and the refugees who had been waiting in Suining City, heading together towards Fengerlan City.

By the twenty-seventh of January, more Xiliang people had learned the benefits of becoming Da Zhou citizens, and naturally, they also understood the costs associated with becoming Da Zhou citizens.

The word spread rapidly among the Xiliang people, and they competed to go, achieving better results than Yan soldiers repeatedly assuring the Xiliang people. The people almost swarmed to the cities occupied by the soldiers of Da Zhou, hoping Da Zhou could provide them with sustenance and a path to survive.

Xiao Rongyan, upon hearing this, rubbed the goose hairpin in his hand, a gentle smile upon his face.

Once, smoothly reclaiming Nanyan, it was Bai Qingyan who enlightened him... The immense power driven by public sentiment; hence, in matters of public sentiment, they, Yan, were indeed no match for Da Zhou.

"Your Highness, we fight not only for the cities and land but also for the population and common people! Da Zhou and we are allies, how can they not act with integrity and secretly stab us in the back? Da Zhou took all the people, what are we supposed to do with an empty city!" complained the Commander from Yan to Xiao Rongyan, "From where I stand, after capturing a city, we should not give them such lenient treatment, just keep them in the city, not allowing them to leave! Those who leave should be killed! We must send someone to speak to Da Zhou, to not go too far!"

Yue Shi, holding a sword, swept his gaze over the speaking Yan General, his eyes cold, feeling though this General was for Yan, why did he not feel content?

This General Song was born into an aristocratic family in the Yan Kingdom. Both openly and behind the scenes, he was a staunch supporter of Emperor Murong Li of the Yan Kingdom, entirely unaware that the discord between Xiao Rongyan and Murong Li was a performance. To express his loyalty to Murong Li, he opposed Xiao Rongyan repeatedly.
