Soon, a month passed, and it had been a month since the king of Chu announced that he would recommend morality, benevolence, filial piety, and virtue in Yuedi.

At the beginning of the announcement of the king of Chu, the people of Yue Di still talked about it, but as time went by, after more than half a month, the ordinary people no longer talked about it.

Because they knew that this matter was all the business of the nobles of Yuedi, and the reward of the king of Chu would not be rewarded to them in any case.

At the moment, the issue they are most concerned about is the problem of land.

In particular, the peasants who cultivated the fields of the exterminated and exiled nobles were even more worried.

Li Zhong, whose family lives on the bank of the stream outside Kuzhu City, is one of them, originally his family was a member of the Li clan of the Yue Kingdom for generations, cultivating the land for the Li clan in peacetime, and fighting as a clan soldier of the Li clan in wartime. For example, his father participated in the tug-of-war between Chu and Yue in Huainan many times, and then unfortunately died in battle. His brother, on the other hand, was unfortunately killed in the war between Qi and Vietnam.

The reason why he is called Li Zhong is not because his surname is Li, but because he has participated in the war between Qi and Yue before, in order to identify the army he belongs to, in order to let the army quickly find the general after the army is defeated, so he was originally called Zhong, so he changed his name to Li Zhong.

Because of the war between Qi and Vietnam, Yue has always had the upper hand and there has been no major rout, so he was lucky and has been peaceful.

Later, in the first battle of the Chu State to destroy Vietnam, he luckily did not participate, and he was lucky to be safe again.

That time it wasn't that Li Shi's kindness, he didn't recruit him to fight, it was really because he was poor, and the poor couldn't open the pot and couldn't afford to fight, so he didn't go.

His father's brother had died long ago, and his father had died early, leaving only the two brothers. When his brother went to war, he stayed at home to cultivate the fields with his mother because he was still young, barely making ends meet, and providing support for his brother who was fighting.

When his brother died in battle, he was left alone with his mother to work at home to make ends meet.

Unfortunately, during that time, the Yue Kingdom fought against the Qi State almost every year, and he went out every year, and his mother farmed alone, but he had to ensure the rations of two people and prepare war materials. So after three years, his mother was so tired that she was paralyzed on one leg and couldn't get off the ground to work.

Fortunately, thanks to the help of his neighbors and the relief of the Li family, his mother persevered until he came back alive.

Then, Li saw that he was the only one left in his family, and if he went to war, Li would not only have to support him, a strong man, but also his old mother. So, Li simply let him stay at home and farm in peace, preparing to wait for him to marry a wife and have children, and then let him go to the battlefield, just like his father.

As a result, because the Yue State successively used troops against the Qi State, the Li family took too much harvest from the hands of the clan, causing Li Zhong to work hard for three years in a row, but he could only ensure the rations of himself and his mother, and did not save up to marry a wife, let alone have children.

Fortunately, the Yue State was suddenly destroyed by the Chu State, and he changed from a Yue State to a Chu State.

At the beginning, he was still very angry, his ancestors had been from Yue for generations, why did he suddenly become a Chu person?

He felt a panic in his heart, as if he had lost something.

However, when there was no war in Yuedi for two consecutive years, and after the Li clan of Yueguo became the Li clan of Chu State, only half of the harvest was collected from them every year, so that in addition to ensuring the rations of himself and his mother, he also had some savings, he felt that this was very good, and the Yue Kingdom would be destroyed if it was destroyed.

Especially when the news of the King of Chu's announcement of tax exemption came half a year ago, the Li family followed the announcement to respond to the call of the King of Chu and only collect 20% of the harvest this year, which made him even more happy.

Because he calculated in his own heart, the harvest after this autumn's harvest, plus the savings of the previous two years, so that he could come up with a gift and ask the Li family to marry him a wife from other family clans.

After all, he is not young, more than the twenty years old stipulated by the Yue Kingdom, and the latest marriage age is five years old, if this is left in normal times, he is already preparing to raise a marriage gift for his son. Moreover, now he is the only one left in his family, and if he doesn't find a wife, his family will be ruined.

As a result, seeing that he was about to get married and have children, he was about to have a complete life.

No, the king of Chu arrived in Jiangdong, and then, he was assassinated, and then the Li clan was inexplicably exterminated.

After the Li clan was wiped out, although the Chu people did not trouble their clans, after the Li clan was wiped out, his heart was empty, and his roots were gone.

The Li family is gone, how should he marry a wife?

The Li family is gone, how to calculate this year's harvest, can he still save his wife's capital?

The Li family is gone, after this year's harvest, who will the harvest be handed over?

If not!

When Li Zhong thought of this, his heart suddenly became anxious, his ancestors had paid it for generations, it was his turn, he planted the land and harvested the grain, how could he not pay the grain, if he didn't pay it, he always felt that his heart was not steady, as if something was missing, and he couldn't raise his head.

But if you have to pay it, to whom?

In the past, they all went to the Li family's mansion to hand in the grain after the Li family stipulated the harvest, but now if they want to hand it over to the king of Chu...

As soon as Li Zhong thought of this, he sighed for a long time, if he carried the grain to Huiji to hand over the grain, it would be okay, it was only a few dozen miles away.

But he heard that the king of Chu lived in a place called Yingdu two thousand miles away, and if the king of Chu asked them to go to Yingdu to pay grain, what would they do?

Two thousand miles away is a little farther, probably as far as he used to follow the Li clan to attack the Tancheng of Qi State, it is two thousand miles. But when he thought that he had been going back and forth on the road for more than half a year, and his mother at home had no one to take care of, he was anxious.

What's even more troublesome is that he doesn't know the way to Yingdu, if he doesn't find where Yingdu is, he misses the time to deliver grain, so that the king of Chu thinks that he didn't pay grain, which affects his mother and ruins his family's fine family style, which is a big problem.

In the nearly two months since the Li clan was wiped out, he and his neighbors who also belonged to the Li clan were all heartbroken.

Although they have the heart to ask, but the Li clan is gone, where should these clans go to ask!

Although they all heard the rumor that Yue Di did not have to pay grain this year, they also heard the rumor that the king of Chu wanted to demote all the Li clan to slaves.

Since the king of Chu sacrificed to the ancient Dayu, the first king Goujian, and the sage Wenzi, the rumors of not having to pay grain this year have become higher and higher, more and more, but the Li family is gone, and the Li family has not told him in person, everything others say, he always feels that he can't believe it, and his heart is not steady.

Therefore, seeing the rice in the field gradually grow taller and mature day by day, he panicked and anxious.

In a hurry, he is not energetic to do anything now, he can't even sleep well at night, and he is also depressed during the day, and he can't lift his energy.
