Facing these hopeful eyes, how could Xu An refuse?
Besides, it was originally a reverse attempt to pit the emperor, how could it end without a quick death!
"Of course it counts, not only my words count, but also the words of the court."
Since Emperor Yuan Kang asked Jinyiwei and the Ministry of Revenue to jointly carry out "people-friendly activities", Xu An was happy to add fuel to the fire.
He looked down at the people and said, "You are the first group to participate in the event today. Because the rules have not been set, there has been some confusion."
"If you want to carry the wood to Xicheng alone, you will probably have to fight to solve the problem."
"But this goes against the original intention of this young master to hold this event with the court."
"So, this young master will give you a suggestion. You can work together to carry the wood to Xicheng, and then you can share the reward money equally."
"Of course, as the initiator of this event, since I didn't think it through, both the court's wooden stakes and my wooden stakes will be calculated as two hundred taels."
"So if you convert it, each of you can still get one to two taels of silver."
Xu An must prevent unrest, otherwise fighting for fifty taels may really cause death.
That would be more trouble than gain.
Hearing this, the people discussed with each other and agreed to Xu An's suggestion.
"Okay, let's listen to Master Xu, and work together to carry the wooden stakes to the West City, and then divide the bounty equally."
Not bad, they know how to weigh the pros and cons... Xu An thought it would take some time to talk, but he didn't expect the people downstairs to agree so readily.
It seems that the people of Kyoto are not so easy to fool.
"Okay, smart choice."
Xu An gave everyone a thumbs up, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "But let me say this first, if we agree to split it equally, it means splitting it equally. If anyone dares to take it all for himself, don't blame me for being rude."
Hearing this, those who had originally had some small calculations in their hearts suddenly became dull.
"Also, today, Master Ben is here to serve as a foil for the court, so he will only participate in this activity for one day."
"But the court will hold this activity for seven consecutive days. That is to say, tomorrow, the court's wooden stake will be moved to Xicheng, and there will still be money to be won."
Xu An looked down at everyone and said, "Of course, starting tomorrow, the rules will be complete, but it won't be like today, where everyone can get money."
"Starting tomorrow, we will draw lots within the specified time to see who has the lucky number that matches the number given by the Ministry of Revenue. Whoever has the opportunity to move the wooden stake to Xicheng and get the reward money."
"So, you'd better bring your relatives and friends along, so that you have a greater chance of drawing a lucky number."
Well, it's the way some people in later generations do, to get people to chop!
In this way, this activity will spread throughout Kyoto in just one or two days.
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's money and grain. If the person the emperor finds is someone who understands marketing, then he should know how to do it with such an opportunity.
Master, I can only help you this far.
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited.
"Master Xu, are you telling the truth?"
"Will the court cheat us again? Will they take back the bounty?"
"That's right, the government has done a lot of this before."
"..."
Many people stared at Xu An, their eyes were sharp, wanting to confirm the answer from him.
"Of course it's true, the leader of this event is our emperor!"
Xu An pointed in the direction of the palace and said domineeringly: "The emperor is the leader, who dares not to fulfill it? If you don't fulfill it, tell me, I will make him lose his head."
Xu An originally wanted to push the crown prince Xiao Yuanlang out, but thought about it and gave up.
The refugees under his command have not been dealt with yet, and pushing him out now will attract too much firepower.
After getting his guarantee, the people carried wooden stakes together in groups of three or five to go to Xicheng.
Watching this scene, Yuwen Hu, who had been waiting to watch the excitement under the tower, finally became more and more gloomy, and murderous intent surged in his dark eyes.
"Now you understand what's going on, right?"
Qin Wenjian asked indifferently.
"He must die!" Yuwen Hu said coldly.
Even if Xu An defeated the Dongyu envoys, even if Xu An tried to seduce his sister, in his heart, he still looked down on Xu An.
But now after watching this scene, Yuwen Hu's murderous intent towards Xu An almost instantly reached its peak.
He naturally knew what Xu An wanted to do!
Xu An wanted to help Emperor Yuankang regain the trust of the people of Daqian in the court.
This was what he least wanted to see.
"Try to touch him!"
Qin Wenjian glanced at Yuwen Hu and sneered.
At this time, she was indeed a little curious about Xu An. She could use a simple wooden stake to make the people regain their trust.Trust in the people of Daqian.
This guy is really bold and careful!
If it were her, she might be able to come up with such a simple method, but her means would definitely not be as flexible as Xu An's.
"I plan to try to contact him."
Qin Wenjian pursed his lips and said, "Although I hate him, I have to say that there are many things worth learning from him."
For example, the formula for converting salt ore into salt.
"No, why do you contact him?"
Yuwen Hu stared at Qin Wenjian with his eyes and said, "Qin Wenjian, are you hiding something from me?"
"No, you think too much."
Qin Wenjian turned and left.
After walking a few steps, she stopped and said, "Don't target Xu An anymore. Emperor Yuankang and Xu Xiao are not as stupid as you."
"You are too proud and conceited. You think you have planned everything and can manipulate all the heroes in the world."
"But don't forget that this is Daqian. Xu Xiao wants to kill you... He doesn't need any reason at all."
In yesterday's assassination, Xu Xiao and the Baiqi Division and the secret guards sent by the emperor to protect him secretly were all killed.
Although someone wanted to be the oriole, the emperor and Xu Xiao would more or less suspect the Dongyu delegation.
Targeting Xu An at this time is tantamount to seeking death.
Maybe Emperor Yuankang and Xu An are waiting for Yuwen Hu to make another move.
"Qin Wenjian, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Yuwen Hu did not look back, but his voice was extremely cold.
"Cooperate with Mr. Fan and do what you should do."
Qin Wenjian pursed his lips and said, "The matter of uniting the civil officials of Daqian is more important than killing Xu An... What's more, you can't kill him."
Being looked down upon by his sister, Yuwen Hu gritted his teeth in anger, but in the end he just snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Not far away, in a double-axled carriage.
Xiao Lan'er raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her beautiful eyes also lit up.
"I didn't expect that you really did it."
"A wooden stake, you can play new tricks."
"Xu An, you really are... more and more difficult for this princess to see through!"
