Shi Jin nodded and said, "Since they are willing to cooperate with us, dear brother, you can take this opportunity to re-measure the fields in the whole state."
Zhu Wu said: "My subordinates understand that Marshal Chen Shande is here and is waiting in the lobby."
Shi Jin heard this and shouted: "Oh, Mr.
Chen is here.
Brother Xian, go and greet him first.
I will go see him after I change my clothes."
Zhu Wu nodded and said: "Yes" After Shi Jin simply took a shower and changed clothes, he came out to see Chen Shande.
As soon as he walked into the lobby, Shi Jin held up his hands and said, "Mr.
Chen, I'm sorry.
I was sweating from practicing martial arts just now, so I had to go and change into clean clothes first.
I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
Chen Shande also stood up and said: "Marshal, you are so polite.
The common people have just arrived."
Shi Jin asked Chen Shande to sit down and said, "Without Mr.
Chen's help, I would not be able to appease the good gentry.
Mr.
Chen deserves the most credit."
Chen Shande said with a humble face: "If it weren't for the marshal's tiger and wolf troops that frightened them, how could the ordinary people convince them.
All this depends on the marshal's reputation."
"This requires Mr.
Chen to run back and forth, otherwise they may not be willing to see me, the bandit leader.
Not to mention asking them to cooperate in measuring the land and paying taxes according to the new law.
I, Shi Jin, will never forget Mr.
Chen's contribution.
"Shi Jin took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Chen Shande and said, "Mr.
Chen, this is a voucher for one hundred thousand jins of green salt.
As long as you take this voucher, you can go to Liangshan and pay 80 cents per catty.
Purchase 100,000 kilograms of green salt” When Chen Shande saw the green salt certificate, his eyes suddenly shone with a greedy look.
Finally, with this salt guide, I can get the green salt at an extremely cheap price.
If I sell it again, I can make two or three times the profit.
Compared with the profit from this green salt, the land tax from my family is simply not enough.
It’s not in vain that I am willing to take risks to advance this history.
Chen Shande suppressed the excitement in his heart, carefully collected the salt and said, "Thank you, Marshal."
Shi Jin smiled and said: "This is what Mr.
Chen deserves.
But Mr.
Chen, although Mizhou has returned to normal, there are still many gentry in Jeju, Yanzhou, and Yizhou who are unwilling to cooperate with our new law.
Mr.
Chen and these The gentry also has contacts, and I would like you to write a letter.
Please persuade them.
I, Shi Jin, am the most reasonable person.
As long as they are willing to cooperate with us, I can let them sell salt and wine in a certain area, and we can all make a fortune together.
But if they continue to be stubborn, don't blame me, Shi Jin, for being ruthless. " At the end of the sentence, Shi Jin's tone was cold and his eyes were full of killing.
As soon as Shi Jin's murderous aura, which he had honed on the blood-sea battlefield, was released, Chen Shande who was sitting next to him was frightened.
Feeling Shi Jin's murderous intent, which was like a sea of blood and corpses, Chen Shande broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and back.

Seeing that Chen Shande was acting strangely, Shi Jin restrained the murderous aura that he had unintentionally exuded from his body, and his stern face returned to a smile.
Shi Jin smiled and said: "Of course we treat those friends sincerely and will never treat them badly.
Do you think so, Mr.
Chen?"
Chen Shande nodded repeatedly, "The marshal is absolutely right.
The grassroots will go back and write letters to persuade a few old friends to cooperate with the marshal in implementing the new law.
Farewell" Shi Jin stood up and quickly grabbed Chen Shande and said, "Mr.
Chen is just here, please sit down for a while.
Zhu Wu, go ask the chef to cook some special dishes.
I want to have a few drinks with Mr.
Chen."
Chen Shande didn't dare to stay any longer.
He stopped Shi Jin with his hand to persuade him to stay, and said: "The general public understands the marshal's intention, but we are just delaying it a little longer.
The public is afraid that those old friends will make mistakes and cause trouble.
It’s better to go back and write to them as soon as possible.”
When Shi Jin heard this, he raised his hands and said with regret: "Mr.
Chen is so concerned about Shi Jin's affairs, which makes Shi Jin feel ashamed.
Next time, Mr.
Chen must have a good drink, and thank Mr.
Chen for his help."
"Okay" Chen Shande said.
After Shi Jin sent Chen Shande away, he sat on the chair again and fell into deep thought.
When Shi Jin was preparing to implement the new law, Wu Yong, who was in Yizhou, sent someone to deliver a letter quickly.
Warn Shi Jin to pay attention to wealthy clans when implementing new laws.
Wu Yong wrote in the letter: Marshal Shi Jin's new law has brought a lot of benefits to the people, and they will be grateful to Shi Jin.
But this new law did not bring benefits to the wealthy clans.
These wealthy clans have developed their own way of survival for hundreds of years.
Originally, Shi Jin, an outsider, suddenly came and broke their previous way of living.
Although the Dao Lord and Emperor Zhao Ji exploited them in every possible way, the exploitation had not reached these wealthy clans.
Naturally, these wealthy clans were unwilling to change this status quo.
If Shi Jin had occupied these territories and had not changed his previous policies, most of these wealthy clans would not have gone against Shi Jin.
But Shi Jin implemented new laws, and everything changed.
Shi Jin did not communicate well with these wealthy families before implementing the new law, and did not promise them enough benefits.
Instead, he asked them to pay more money and food.
How could these wealthy clans support the marshal?
Officials were appointed by the court, but they were basically local people.
They have lived here for generations and are inextricably linked to the local wealthy families.
If the wealthy clans did not support Shi Jin, no one would be willing to cooperate with Shi Jin properly.
Shi Jin's new law will then come to a standstill.
Since coming out of Liangshan, Shi Jin has been very proud of himself.
The Liangshan Army's well-trained elite troops, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, are invincible and invincible against the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers.
Shi Jin, who was complacent at first, didn't believe it.
He thought this new method was very good and there would be no problems.
However, he didn't expect that what happened next would be as Wu Yong expected.
The wealthy clans did not dare to oppose themselves, but they instigated the officials to go on strike.

It was absolutely no problem for Shi Jin's men to fight the war, but Shi Jin never had enough civil servants to help him manage these territories.
Even the territories previously established by Shi Jin were all taken from a few of his own literati.
The civil servants' non-violence and non-cooperation brought the territorial affairs under Shi Jin's administration to a standstill, and even the preparation of food and fodder for the army was slow.
No matter how elite the army is, it still needs food and grass.
Without food and grass, no matter how elite the troops are, they cannot win the battle.
Just when Shi Jin was in a state of despair, Wu Yong also gave Shi Jin several strategies in the letter.
Among them, salt and wine were used to win over some gentry and suppress some gentry, so that the new law could be implemented.
After adopting Wu Yong's strategy, he successfully pacified the wealthy clan.
Although Shi Jin was not sad that the profits of the salt wine were being divided, he thought that if he wanted to do something practical, he would be controlled by these wealthy clans that were parasitic on the peasants.
Shi Jin was very angry.
When Shi Jin raised his head, there was a burst of determination in his eyes.
There were some things that I originally wanted to push forward after I could conquer the country.
But now it seems that implementation must be stepped up:
