Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

When the people heard that it was the emperor's legitimate daughter, they were stunned for a moment and then all looked at the city lord.

"City Lord, do you mean that if it is a princess, then you are prepared to let her enter the city?"

"Yes, I heard that this princess was raised in the imperial manor since she was a child. If she is the same as the new emperor, what should we do?"

"Oh my God, how are we, the common people, going to survive?"

·······

Listening to the cries of the people below, Xiaoliu shouted loudly: "Be quiet and listen to me."

After seeing that the people had all quieted down, Xiao Liu looked at them and said, "I don't know what the temperament of this princess is like, but I believe in old Master Murong.

I believe in General Leng, and I believe in the late queen even more.

They are all people who care about the people. I don’t believe that the people they teach will not consider the people.”

After hearing what Xiaoliu said, the people stopped making noise instantly.

The people of this dynasty were actually very easy to satisfy. They didn't have so many desires. They just wanted to have enough food to eat.

It doesn’t matter who sits in that position, as long as they can have enough food to eat, they will choose to support that person.

Just like Xiaoliu, he was able to fight against the corrupt officials for the sake of the people. After he came to power, people's lives became a little better.

But the decree issued by the new emperor directly forced them all into a desperate situation.

If the city lord had not resisted the pressure and refused to collect taxes from them, they would have starved long ago.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Xiao Liu comforted them, "Go back without worry."

After hearing Xiaoliu's words, the people gradually left.

Xiao Liu turned around and came to the outside of the city gate. After watching the people in the distance getting closer and closer, he ordered, "Bring the spyglass."

A telescope is a tool used for looking at objects in space. However, the telescopes in ancient times could not see very far away.

Xiao Liu looked at the blurry faces and frowned. It seemed that he had to wait until people came closer before he could see who they were.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liu ordered: "Tell someone to prepare bows and arrows, and wait for my order before shooting."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people instantly appeared on the city gate. They all lay on the city gate with bows and arrows in their hands.

But at this moment, Xiao Lengyue started laughing.

Leng Huaizhong saw Xiao Lengyue laughing and asked curiously, "Your Highness, what's so funny?"

"It seems that we don't need to use force today."

Hearing this, Leng Huaizhong was slightly stunned, but still didn't quite understand.

But seeing that Xiao Lengyue didn't intend to explain, he suppressed his curiosity, stayed beside her obediently, and said nothing more.

Soon, Xiao Lengyue and the others arrived at the city gate.

Leng Haohui looked at the people on the city gate and shouted loudly: "The princess is here, why don't you open the city gate quickly."

When Xiaoliu heard this, he quickly looked at the crowd, but he didn't find the person he wanted to see, so he shouted, "Where is the princess?

I have to confirm the identity of the princess, otherwise, I will never let you in."

When Leng Haohui heard this, he shouted, "Can you see the princess whenever you want?

Open the city gate quickly, otherwise we will attack the city."

Xiaoliu didn't expect that the man below would actually say this, and he burst into laughter instantly.

"I will never open the city gates until I see the princess."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Xiao Lengyue rode his white horse slowly towards the city gate.

When Xiaoliu saw the person coming, he froze instantly.

Although the man in front of him was wearing armor, he would never forget that face.

At this moment, Leng Huaizhong also stepped forward and shouted, "Xiao Liuzi, do you still remember me?"

When Xiao Liu heard this, he looked towards Leng Huaizhong reflexively. When he saw who it was, he was shocked and asked, "General Leng?"

Leng Huaizhong nodded, “It’s me.

Hurry up and open the city gate and let the princess in."

When Xiaoliu heard this, he nodded vigorously and said, "Open the city gate."

After saying that, he hurried downstairs and waited for Xiao Lengyue.

Xiao Lengyue didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. After seeing that the city gate was really opened, he ordered loudly: "After entering, you are not allowed to take anything from the people.

You are not allowed to oppress the people. If I find out, I will kill all nine generations of your clan."

When the soldiers behind him heard this, they suddenly knelt down and shouted, "Yes."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly and he ordered: "Enter the city."

So, Leng Haohui took the lead, and Xiao Lengyue was in the middle, and they entered the city calmly.

When they arrived at the city gate, they saw Xiao Liu already standing inside. The moment he saw Xiao Lengyue come in, he said, "Welcome, Princess."

When the soldiers and civilians behind him heard this, they all knelt down and shouted, "Welcome the princess."

Xiao Lengyue looked at the faces of the people in the city and said, "Today, you took the initiative to let me into the city without hurting a single soldier. It is a blessing.

I have made the decision to restore the people's tax rate to the 20% previously set by the previous emperor.

I will post a new notice later, when I have removed all the termites."

When the people heard this, they looked at Xiao Lengyue in shock, with disbelief in their eyes.

They didn't expect that before the princess even entered the city, she had already restored their taxes to their original level.

After the people realized what was happening, they all fell to the ground and shouted, "Welcome, Your Highness! Welcome, Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue slowly entered the city and came to the house that Xiaoliu had prepared in advance.

Xiao Lengyue saw that her eldest brother was not there, and was about to ask, when she heard Leng Huaizhong say: "Major General Leng took the soldiers to set up camp outside the city."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "That's good. If so many people stay in the city, the people will panic."

Leng Huaizhong nodded, "The subordinates think so too."

While they were talking, Xiao Liu brought the servants to bring the food to Xiao Lengyue.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the food on the table, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Xiaoliu didn't see it, and after all the dishes were served, he bowed and said, "Your Highness, please."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, not disliking the food on the table at all.

Xiao Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Lengyue eating.

He spent a long time searching for these vegetables before buying them.

Because the new decree issued by the new emperor said that only food and people were wanted, not silver.

The people used all their land to grow crops, and not many people grew vegetables.

Even those wealthy businessmen had almost all their land planted with crops.

After Xiao Lengyue picked up each dish with his chopsticks, he said, "You guys eat too."

Leng Huaizhong and the others nodded, picked up their bowls, and started using their chopsticks.

After eating a few bites, Xiao Lengyue looked at Xiao Liu and asked, "How many people in the city still grow vegetables?"

When Xiaoliu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then said, "There are only more than ten households."

Xiao Lengyue was slightly stunned for a moment, frowned and asked: "Are they all landlords?"

Xiao Liu nodded, "They have a lot of land. In addition to the food they need, they also have some extra land to grow some vegetables."

When Old Master Murong heard this, he said in a deep voice, "You can't not eat vegetables."
