After the superstitious things are done, it's time to do the right thing, and it just so happens that the people are here.

Chongzhen said: "Fellow villagers, there is a team in my army that is a troupe of art troupes, which specializes in singing operas and promoting the policies of the imperial court. ”

The people see that the emperor is not as hateful as the legend says today, after the siege of the emperor, the emperor's Tianzi Guard is strictly disciplined, no one is killed, the first thing is to build this temple, and now I heard that there is a play to watch, and they are all looking forward to it.

Chongzhen ordered the art troupe to start singing in a vacant lot in the county seat, in addition to the content of the play, Chongzhen added a new play "The Biography of Li Yan"!

It is about Li Zicheng's rogue army only knowing how to rob big households, robbing this place today, robbing that place tomorrow, eating meat and drinking wine today, and drinking the northwest wind tomorrow. Everywhere it goes, it's like a locust crossing the border. Li Yan questioned Li Zicheng: You rob this today and that tomorrow, after robbing these places, they will be barren, what will the people eat in the future? Li Zicheng said, there is wine today and drunk today, Li Yan what do you want to do so much, Li Yan abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and assisted the emperor in the capital to divide the land for the people, and the people in the capital lived and worked in peace and contentment!

After watching the play, Chongzhen left some people and the county order behind and asked, "County order, do you recognize this Li Yan?" ”

"Recognize, recognize!" Li Yan was originally a general under Li Zicheng's command, and he was also named King Bian when he negotiated peace, no matter how small he was as a county commander, he was also an official, and Li Zicheng's general was also recognized a lot of county commanders.

"What do you think of Li Yan!"

"Li Yan Master Li is different from Li Zicheng's rogues, he is a righteous gentleman, although he is a scholar, he has the world in mind and scatters all his family wealth to help the disaster!"

"Well, I also think that he is a good official, so now he is responsible for assisting me in dividing the fields, and the capital and Shanxi are dividing the fields, by the way, I don't know what is going on with your rice fat fields, and whether the common people of rice fat have been assigned to the fields" Chongzhen asked deliberately.

Li Zicheng rebelled for many years, and he has always been in rebellion in the form of rogues, and there is no way to divide the land to the people. It was not until the sixteenth year of Chongzhen that the base area was established under the advice of Li Yan and others, but after the base area was established, it was also a large number of robberies in various places, and the leaders of the Liukou enjoyed the fruits of the rebellion, and they did not give the people any land at all!

After the rebellion, Li Zicheng and his generals robbed countless wealth, and they had long forgotten the slogan of the rebellion, and they only thought about what to rob beautiful women to enjoy their lives every day, and he didn't care about what the people were doing, he didn't care and wouldn't care, he was just a hooligan!

So Li Zicheng, a hooligan who says "Juntian is free of grain" every day, is very clear compared to an emperor who has really divided the land to the people, and the people are on that side!

The eyes of the masses are bright!

"We haven't divided the ......fields yet," the county magistrate said tremblingly.

"No, this Juntian is free of grain, but Li Zicheng proposed it himself, this rice fat is still Li Zicheng's hometown, you are all his fellow countrymen, haven't you divided the fields yet?" Chongzhen deliberately pretended not to believe it.

An old man next to him couldn't bear it, he watched the play today, the capital is dividing the fields, they haven't divided the fields here, the emperor is here, don't complain to the emperor about what's the matter, so he said: "Your Majesty, we really haven't divided the fields yet, this field is the king of Dashun......"

Another old man next to the old man who spoke pulled him, and the old man woke up, this Li Zicheng was a rogue, and said that the king of Dashun was not suitable in front of the emperor, and the old man changed his words and said, "Our rice fat fields are all thieves Li Zicheng and those under him, we small people, let alone divide the fields, and anyone in the family who has a little savings will be robbed." ”

The people in the crowd also said: "Yes, Li Zicheng will only tell us that he wants to rob the big family, but after the robbery, he will leave it alone." Those who wandered around with him to rob were usually idle, and we, the honest people, only thought about finishing the big households, dividing the fields and planting well, but Li Zicheng left after grabbing, the court officers and soldiers came, and everything returned to the original state! ”

"After Li Zicheng saw the Dashun Dynasty in Xi'an, he wanted to build a new palace, so he sent his subordinates to rob the people's property everywhere, and Li Zicheng's conscription was heavier than that of the Ming Dynasty! Li Zicheng's subordinates are all a group of money-greedy and lustful hooligans, and when they see a girl, they all rob them and play with them...... Your Majesty, we are having such a miserable life! ”

"Do abuse, why would we have such a demon in Mizhi!"

The people in the crowd shed tears one after another, they were bitter, there was such a Li Zicheng, who was not pleasing to the imperial court, Li Zicheng was no better for them here, and the rogues under Li Zicheng were the same for them and people in other places!

......

"Folks, quiet, my trip has been announced to the world, I want to drive the expedition, in addition to exterminating Li Zicheng, another task is to divide the land for the people, everyone rest assured, after this temple is built, the first thing I ordered the county order to give you the land!"

Chongzhen naturally knew the character of Li Zicheng and his subordinates, so he deliberately said it so that the people would have resentment towards Li Zicheng and his gangsters, so that his policies could be better implemented.

"Your Majesty, our Mizhi has produced such a rogue as Li Zicheng, don't you hold us Mizhi people accountable?" An old man said.

"The common people of Mizhi are not guilty, the crime is only on Li Zicheng alone, you are all deceived by Li Zicheng, I am the Son of Heaven, I can't protect you, I am ashamed, so I decided to drive the expedition in person!"

Another old man heard that the emperor was going to give them a share of the land, and he also asked, "Your Majesty, do you really want to give us a share of the land?" ”

"Yes, the purpose of my imperial expedition is not only to crusade against Li Zicheng, but also to divide the land for the people of the world, so that everyone can have land to cultivate, and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment!"

"This uncle, the capital and Tianjin have already finished dividing the fields, the emperor came from the capital, Wang Chengyin of the Xuanfu general army did not give the people the land, the emperor beheaded him to show the public, and promoted Zhao Zhongguo to the governor of Xuanfu, Gu An was the general soldier of Xuanfu, and the first thing the two of them did was to divide the land for the people! and Datong, which are also dividing fields! Liu Feng came out and said, "In order to prevent some people from being lazy or someone trying to occupy other people's fields, the emperor specially stipulated: the fields can only be cultivated, and the grain harvest belongs to the peasants, and cannot be subleased or resold. ”

"Okay, the imperial court's method is good, and our children and grandchildren will be able to have land to cultivate in the future!" An old man said with tears in his eyes.

"Thank you, the villain bows to the emperor," the old man knelt down and said, and everyone else knelt down as well.
