C429 A Little Princess

After the three girls returned, they told them about Lan Tian killing the Silver Country soldiers. When the villagers heard that Lan Tian was going to stay here and guard them for a while, they happily ran over with their chickens and ducks in their hands.

"Hero Lan, we have come to thank you for coming. This is a small gift from me. Please accept it!" A white-haired old lady carrying a chicken walked over shakily.

"That's right, Hero Lan. These are my two ducks. Please don't leave, Hero Lan. Otherwise, bad people will come again!" An old lady carrying two ducks shouted with a hopeful expression.

Behind them, a large group of old and young women carried all kinds of food that they usually did not want to eat and ran over excitedly.

Lan Tian took a step forward and cupped his fists, "Seniors, fellow villagers, don't worry. I have already asked princess to help you beat up the Silver Country until it does not dare to offend again."

"Also, after princess takes the throne, a large number of soldiers will be stationed here. No bad people will come and disturb us."

The reason Lan Tian pushed Bamboo out now was to use Bamboo's name to help them when the villagers needed help the most.

This way, after repelling Silver Country and subduing Lan Country, the villagers would naturally support Bamboo, the new king.

Don't underestimate the public opinion. Although these farmers don't know martial arts, their mouths are very powerful. If they hate a king to the extreme, they would definitely arrange the death of this king.

At that time, it will slowly incite a civil coup, and it will very quickly become a powerful force.

As the saying goes, a single spark of fire could set the world on fire. The water could carry a boat, and the boat could also be capsized. Therefore, the will of the people could not be defied! Following the will of the people was following the will of heaven. Those who obtained the hearts of the people would obtain the world!

These villagers who came to thank Lan Tian originally heard from the three girls that there was a girl who looked exactly the same as the king by Lan Tian's side. Now that they heard that it was princess, they all looked towards Bamboo.

When they saw this, they all cried out in shock. Then, all of them knelt down and shouted loudly, "Grass people greet princess!"

Bamboo clearly did not expect that Lan Tian would be so anxious to push her onto the stage of history. For a moment, she was in a trance.

However, she had grown up with her grandfather and ate hundreds of meals. She was the clearest about the feelings of the commoners.

After a brief trance, she immediately walked to the old white-haired old woman and bent down to help her up.

She said in a very amiable manner, "My dear people, please rise. I am here to make an oath. I will stand guard here with my brother until the Silver Country admits defeat and no longer dares to invade."

Those villagers did not know whether princess was real or fake. Or rather, they did not care if you were real or fake. As long as you were thinking for them, it was true.

Therefore, they excitedly thanked princess a few times before standing up. Then, they stuffed the things in their hands over.

Looking at the things in the villagers' hands, Lan Tian laughed loudly and said, "Villagers, our princess is not another king. She never takes a needle or a needle from the villagers. Not to mention taking your things."

"She just told me that helping you guys is her responsibility and obligation. You guys did not have a stable life, so she is very sad."

"That's why she said, after she ascended the throne, all the villagers in Lan Country will be exempted from paying three years of tax. Villagers above the age of 60 will also receive a monthly pension. Let the villagers in Lan Country have a good life and live happily in their later years!"

Bamboo naturally did not know about the ideals of the people to rule the country. This was completely used by Lan Tian according to some of the popular policies in the secular world.

When they heard Lan Tian say this, all the villagers shivered. The white-haired old woman swallowed her saliva and asked in disbelief and excitement. "Hero Lan, is what you said true? You can get money for free even when you are over sixty years old?"

Lan Tian nodded vigorously. "Of course it is true. Oh right, tomorrow is the end of the month. Go and tell the surrounding people that anyone above 60 years old... All come to collect this month's pension. Temporarily set to one gold coin per person per month. "

"When the official election takes over the world and the current king of Wuwei is kicked off the stage, the monthly pension will be increased to three gold coins. Villagers, what do you think? "

Hearing this, everyone gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

One should know that in Ancient Martial Realm, gold coins were hard currency. It was the same in every country. Of course, these were all used by rich people. Ordinary civilians used silver or copper coins.

Especially in a poor family like Lan Country, a normal family could only earn three gold coins per year without any illness or disaster.

As Lan Tian said, those above the age of 60 could receive three gold coins a month. They had never heard of such a good thing. So after hearing it, they were both excited and in disbelief. They felt like they were dreaming.

After a long time, the old woman finally woke up from her excitement like everyone else. She asked tentatively, "Hero Lan, is, is this really princess's idea?"2

Bamboo knew that it was time for her to express her stance. She raised a small hand and spoke loudly and solemnly.

"I hereby vow that as long as I am in power for a day, I will definitely fulfill my promise today. Not only will I pay the pension for every 60-year-old elderly, I will also set up an orphanage in every city. I will make sure that those abandoned children will no longer suffer from the suffering of being homeless."

Speaking up to this point, he thought of his many years of life as a beggar. Instantly, tears streamed down his face as he loudly spoke with tears flowing down his face. "After this duke becomes the king, in at most three years, I must make the citizens of this country... Every family is fed, dressed warmly, no wandering children... There are also no elderly people who are unattended to! "

Wiping the tears from his eyes, he loudly and firmly said, "If I can't do it, if I break today's promise, I don't want you guys to chase me away. I will take the initiative to step down! I will atone for my crimes with my death!"

The villagers had never seen a person who held a public election in such an impassioned and considerate manner!

Everyone was touched by Bamboo's true feelings and fell to their knees once again. Many of them were so emotional that they cried on the ground.

Especially the old woman. As she cried, her hands kept hitting the ground. "Wife, daughter, you all saw it, right? We finally have a wise man!"

"Your souls in heaven must protect princess to ascend to the throne as soon as possible and give our people a happy and peaceful life!"

Bamboo did not expect that all of the family members of the old man were gone. She walked over sadly and asked with tears dripping down her face, "Grandma, why are your family not here?"

The old woman replied with tears, "They were all killed by the people of Silver Country. The people of Silver Country came to rob them. And our king did not ask about our lives or deaths. My family members were all killed in the resistance against foreign enemies. Wu, princess, you must avenge us! "
