Qiaojia Village, about 100 miles away from Daba Mountain, has more than 100 households in the whole village, planting more than 1,000 acres of land, but these lands used to belong to the big landlord Qiao Tang, and these 100 or so families are all tenants of the Qiao family. In the first half of this year, because of Qu Wan's fiasco in Linyi, the Han army chased after him, and drove Qu Wan to Daba Mountain.

The arrival of the Han army had terrified the people here, but they could not flee with their families like the owner Qiao Tang, so they could only stay at home and wait for the unpredictable future.

But what happened then surprised and delighted all the people of Qiaoxian County, including Qiaojia Village, they had never seen such a disciplined army, and Qiao Wan, the private gentleman of Qiaojia Village, always remembered the scene at that time.

A young officer knocked on the door of his closed home. When the door opened and saw the heavily armed army outside the door, Qiao Wan had already prepared for the worst.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Qiao Wanqiao?" The young officer asked.

"Yes, I don't know what the chief is looking for the grass people?" Qiao Wan replied without humility or arrogance.

"Oh, that's the case, we are the troops of the Second Division of the First Army of the Southern Group Army of the Han Kingdom, I am the division commander Ye Feng, we posted a notice of Anmin in the village, but the people in the village are basically illiterate, let's explain it ourselves, and I am afraid that they will not believe it, after inquiring, I learned that Mr. is a scholar, so I came to ask Mr. to help us interpret it." The visitor smiled.

Qiao Wan didn't know how big an official the division commander was, but looking at the other party's bearing and the soldiers behind him, it should be a big official, and the other party's request was not too much. So he nodded in agreement.

When he walked to the entrance of the village, he was surprised to find that outside the village, barracks had been set up for several miles, and these troops had not entered the village, and not many people had even walked out of the barracks. This is very different from what he knew and heard before, you know, when Da Chu transferred troops to Linyi, their village was still required to donate military rations!

"Sir. Now there is no autumn harvest in the village, there is not much food, and I ask the chief not to embarrass the people in the village. Seeing that this young officer named Ye Feng was very kind, Qiao Wan said boldly.

The young officer was a little surprised at first, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, rest assured, our Han army has its own logistics supply system, and never extorts military rations from the people, as you will see in the future, the army of our Han Kingdom." It is the most disciplined army. ”

That being said, Qiao Wan didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

The subsequent incidents, one by one, finally made Qiao Wan understand. Why did the officer named Ye Feng say that the Han army was the most disciplined army in the world.

The army seems to have intended to stay here for long, but their soldiers never entered the village on a large scale, and came most frequently by men in wagons. Buying sparse vegetables from local villagers is a purchase, not a requisition. The price is quite fair.

With the passage of time, the villagers gradually got used to the existence of this army, the big guys are ordinary people, they always have to live, what do they have to do, although the land is not their own, but the land still has to be planted, and the grain has to be harvested, otherwise what to eat next?

Of course, there are also villagers with active brains, seeing these Han soldiers doing business benevolence, they pushed wheelbarrows, went to the countryside to collect vegetables, bacon, eggs, and then pushed them to the Han army barracks to sell, so that everyone did not expect that these first few guys who ate crabs were developed because of this, and the officers in charge of logistics of the Han army actually signed a deed with them, no matter how much they collected, the Han army was round, and they all wanted.

This is a large military camp of thousands of people, how much is consumed every day!

If this is just a small section, then the next action brought by the arrival of the civil officials of the Han State made Qiao Wan very shocked, they began to divide the land, and the land of the entire village belonged to Qiao Tang, but after the officials of the Han State arrived, they first measured the land in the village, and then began to hold a meeting of all the villagers, and they actually wanted to distribute the land to all the people for free.

The entire Qiaojia Village was boiling.

Divide the land, choose the village head, depending on the meaning of the officials of the Han Dynasty, they will not send people to the village, everything is under the autonomy of the village, and the tax standards they announced are so low that everyone can't believe it, you know, in the past, they not only had to pay rent to Qiao Tang, but also had to pay taxes to the state, and it was good to be able to have one-third of their annual income fall into their own hands. And now, in the tenth harvest, only 30% is delivered, and the rest is their own.

Build a canal for the village, renovate the houses and roads for the people, and during the autumn harvest, each family also sent a few soldiers to help, everything completely subverted the people in Qiaojia Village's perception of the army, and also subverted their perception of the invaders, in just one month, this foreign army completely won the hearts of everyone in Qiaojia Village, and everyone hoped that they would stay here forever.

With the arrival of the Han army, the people in Qiaojia Village also have more understanding of the outside world, in the descriptions of these soldiers, the people of Qiaojia Village finally have a vague understanding of the Han Kingdom, for them, the Han Kingdom seems to be a beautiful paradise.

The people in Qiao's village all felt that they had hope, and Qiao Wan felt that there was hope, but there were some troubles that others did not have. The officials sent by the Han Dynasty to Qiao County required that every village have a school, and the children of every family must be enrolled, and the cost of enrollment is the responsibility of the county.

However, the annoying thing is that the young division commander Ye Feng, I don't know when he started, he loves to run to his house when he has nothing to do, he came with various excuses, and the most used is to help him teach children to read, I have to admit that this young officer is indeed a good learner, and it is very different from the well-developed limbs and simple-minded soldiers he imagined.

But his real purpose. It should be his daughter Rong Niang.

This made Qiao Wan very annoyed, although now he knew that the division commander was already a considerable official in the army of the Han Kingdom, and the team of thousands of people, no, should not know thousands of people, in the city, they still had troops stationed, at least more than 10,000 people. It's hard to believe that such a huge army is actually led by such a young man.

This officer has taken a fancy to his daughter, and his daughter also has affection for this young officer, no wonder Rong Niang likes this young man, not only is not rude as a martial artist, but gentle and elegant, and he looks heroic, and he is really young and promising. But Qiao Wan has her own considerations, she has become such a big official at such a young age, I am afraid that the background of this Ye Feng's family is very unusual, and there is no doubt that he must be a wealthy family in the Han Kingdom. But his own family is an ordinary person, and he is very worried that if his daughter really follows such a person, he is afraid that he will have a hard time in the future. What's more, the young man had never officially mentioned marriage, if he just wanted to get his daughter to be a concubine. That Qiao Wan is absolutely unwilling, although his daughter is the daughter of a small family, but she must not be practiced.

Qiao Wan sighed, his thoughts were interrupted by a roar, he raised his head and looked at Qiao Tang's disgusting face on the high platform in front of him.

"I'm Joe someone's back!" Qiao Tang glared angrily at the people of Qiaojia Village who had complicated expressions under him, "You mud legs, dare to divide my family's land, but have you thought that my Qiao someone will come back one day, this year's rent will be doubled, and I will pay it to me honestly, I will not forgive your sins, otherwise, your fate will be like theirs." ”

Following Qiao Tang's fingers, everyone saw the villagers who had made a fortune from doing business with the Han army, and they were pressed to their knees by the five flowers, and behind them was a row of knife and axe hands. Crying came from behind them, and it was the family of these people.

"Chop!" With a wave of Qiao Tang's hand, the big knives in the hands of the sword and axe hands were raised high, Qiao Wan closed his eyes suddenly, and with the exclamations around him, Qiao Wan knew that those people were already in a different place.

"Don't think that this day has changed, this day can't change, how powerful my Great Chu is, the Han army doesn't know whether to live or die, and after a small victory, it gets carried away, and now it's not beaten back by my Great Chu army? You people have a good life, the lord above was originally going to cure you for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, it is all me Qiao who has a good heart, only grasps the first evil, and does not ask about coercion, which can be regarded as saving your life, and in the future, I will farm for Master Qiao and me in the future, and pay the rent on time every year, and I will keep you safe and sound! ”

Qiao Wan lowered his head, a good life is short-lived, since two months ago, he heard the news of the defeat of the Han army in Pengcheng from Ye Feng, and his heart was clouded with a layer of haze, sure enough, more than a month ago, Ye Feng said to him with anger on his face, they are going to retreat, not only the army, but also the officials, all of which must be returned to the Chu people.

Ye Feng asked Qiao Wan's family to go with him, but Qiao Wan refused, if he followed Ye Feng and was in a foreign land, then everything didn't have to be at his disposal, here, it was always his hometown.

Everything is back to the past, this half a year of good days, just a dream, the school seems to be falling apart again, where will the children come to school again?

"Qiao Wan!" A cold voice suddenly came from in front of him. Qiao Wan raised her head in shock, and suddenly saw Qiao Tang's cruel gaze.

"Master Joe!" Qiao Wan lowered her head and shouted.

"Do you know why I didn't arrest you? Didn't they cut off your head like those men? Qiao Tang laughed.

"The villain has always been disciplined and disciplined, and has never done those illegal things, a few days ago, the Han people divided the land and land, and the villain did not ask for a penny and a half acres." Qiao Wan said in a low voice.

"You don't want it, you don't want it!" Qiao Tang smiled: "Do you know how to plant?" Or is that girl in your family going to plant, I don't arrest you because you are a reader, are you a reader, is it always reasonable, don't you say? Compared with those few people who were beheaded, you, the sin is greater, don't think I don't know, during the period when the Han army was stationed here, a general of the Han army ran to you almost every day, and your friendship with him was very unusual, Qiao Wan, let me tell you, there are people from above, and now they live in the city, do you know who the leader is, it is Master Qiao and my son, they were originally going to arrest you, but I blocked it. ”

Qiao Wan's heart jumped.

"But sir, I don't do good deeds in vain." Qiao Tang smiled and said: "Your girl is getting more and more smart, Qiao Wan, my lord, I have taken a fancy to her, and I am ready to marry her as the tenth aunt's wife." I've asked someone to see the day, and ten days later will be the auspicious day of the zodiac, and I will marry you in a sedan chair, hahaha! ”

In Qiao Wan's thunderstorm, Qiao Tang laughed wildly and walked away. (To be continued......)
