Li Zicheng gathered the people of Wangjialou and Wangjiazhuang, and publicized the laws of the Mandate of Heaven in public, and if they wanted to study it completely, they would definitely not work for a while, and the people would not be able to remember it, and they would pick the main ones, especially those who were close to the people.

Let all the people "have food, clothing, housing, and land", and protect the legitimate interests of the people......

It was the first time that the people heard such words, and they were stunned for a moment, as if they had heard an eternal myth.

However, all this is true, the Metropolitan Governor is standing opposite them, since the Mandate of Heaven army came to the two villages, it is true that no soldiers have gone to the villages to harass them, and the common people do not have much money left, they do not have to worry about the soldiers going to rob their dilapidated houses, but about the women in the family.

I heard that the rogue was coming, and there were families with young women, all of whom were trembling, and the women were not only not allowed to go out, but also painted mud on their faces to make a sloppy appearance.

Li Zicheng knew that the people were stunned, coughed, pulled the people's primordial gods back, and then said: "To ensure that you have enough to eat, you have to be given enough arable land, and from today on, the Heavenly Mandate Army will allocate new land to you......"

This kind of information, the people listened to their respective chiefs yesterday, although it is the most affordable, but it is not a surprise, and there is a lot of discussion for a while.

"Did the Mandate of Heaven really give us farmland?"

"Is there only one fifteen taxes for taxes?"

"Why does the Mandate of Heaven care so much about the people? Don't say it, the Mandate of Heaven Army is really God's ......"

……

At the end of the meeting here, Li Zicheng took his own soldiers, under the leadership of Wang Xi, and began to register the population in Wangjialou, distribute the land, many of the land has green seedlings, in order to reduce the burden of the people, these green seedlings are circulated with the land, and the people do not need to compensate the original owner of the green seedlings.

It took three days for the land in Wangjialou and Wangjiazhuang villages to be fully distributed. For new land, the Mandate of Heaven will re-issue the title deed, and the person who obtains the title deed is the owner of the land, and no one is allowed to change the status quo of the land without authorization.

In this land distribution, the large families with more land suffered great losses, but the land in Wangjialou mainly did not belong to the locals, and most of them belonged to the gentry in Shangnan City, but fortunately, these gentry, after the destruction of Shangnan City, had already given up their excess land, and there were no property rights disputes.

There are not many big households in the village, that is, the chief Wang Xi, in addition to the land allocated according to the people, there is not much land to really be taken out, plus the Heavenly Mandate Army has done some work earlier, there is no opposition on the surface, even if there is resentment, it can only be hidden, angering the Heavenly Mandate Army, who knows what the consequences will be......

For the common people, they have added a lot of land in vain, and they are grateful to the Heavenly Mandate Army for a while, and the wave of praise overshadows the severe cold of the northwest wind, and even the atmosphere of the new yuan has been diluted a lot.

Taking advantage of this wave, Li Zicheng sent four pro-soldier teams to begin to propagate Catholicism in the two villages, at least so that the people could learn to pray, and the governors of the two villages were not replaced, but Wang Xi and Wang Hu must take the lead in mastering the teachings of Catholicism, regard their respective homes as temporary churches, and use the evening time on weekdays to organize the people to continue to study in depth and understand deeply.

The land between Wangjialou and Wangjiazhuang is not allocated, it is reserved for the establishment of the town, and in the future, if there are displaced people from other places to join, they will also be given a piece of land.

Just after the new yuan period but not yet to the cultivation season, Li Zicheng prepared to recruit a group of strong men, to help build the Golden Bell Village, this time is not forced labor, but paid labor, to participate in the labor of the strong men, can receive 20 copper coins a day, there is a lunch at noon, in order to win the trust of the people, the remuneration is settled every day, there is no arrears.

Li Zicheng did not send an envoy with more money, nor did he want to be neutral among the people, but to gain time, once Li Jibu came here, he would go to Henan to recruit people to serve, which could speed up the construction of the camp.

When the people heard that they were paid, they naturally cheered, and the strong men lacked everything except the strength of the handle, lack of silver, lack of food, and now that they have the opportunity to earn money, who is willing to give up in vain? There are only 20 Wen a day, the salary is not high, and you can be idle and idle, and the opportunity is indeed rare.

Under the arrangement of Wang Xi and Wang Hu, the Mandate of Heaven Army recruited more than 100 strong men from the people who signed up to help build the Admiralty Village and the mountain trails around the wall.

Wang Xi sent the strong men of Wangjialou to Jinzhong Mountain, and when he went home, he lowered his head and pondered all the way, almost bumped into an old tree, and entered the house, and the only house boy greeted him, but he also turned a blind eye, he went directly back to the living room, made tea, and sat alone at the square table in a daze.

"What is Daddy thinking?" With a crisp sound, a woman with clear eyebrows and a short white jacket appeared in front of Wang Xi.

Wang Xi was taken aback, almost excited, raised his head suddenly, and saw that it was his precious daughter, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

His wife first gave birth to two sons, and then had this daughter, Wang Wanyu, who was like a pearl in her hand, and specially invited a husband to teach her to read and write for three years, and now she knows a lot of words.

Looking at his surprised daughter, his heart moved, "How old is Yu'er this year?" ”

"Dad has been busy these days?" Wang Wanyu glanced at her father, obviously very dissatisfied, and then pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "After the new yuan, Yu'er will be fifteen, why did my father forget this?" ”

"Fifteen?" Wang Xi seemed to be muttering to himself, but nodded silently.

"In the past few days, my father has worked too hard for the Heavenly Mandate Army, right?" Wang Wanyu obediently walked behind Wang Xi and gently hung her shoulders with her father, "Dad needs to rest more!" ”

"You also know the Mandate of Heaven?" Wang Xi replied to the question, and muttered: "Yu'er, what kind of people do you say, what kind of people are the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"Heavenly Mandate Army, hmm......" Wang Wanyu stopped her fist and lay on the back of her father's chair, a slender finger under her cheek, raising her little face, thoughtful, "Listen to my father, they don't kill people and set fires, they don't rob property, and distribute land to the people, so that the people have something to eat, they should be good people, yes, good people!" ”

"Good guys?" Wang Xi's face was relieved, and he muttered to himself: "Good people, is the Heavenly Mandate Army just good people?" ”

"Dad, what is the Mandate of Heaven if it is not a good person?" Wang Wanyu lowered her head slightly, put her elbows on her father's shoulders, and gently massaged her father's with two fingers that were as white as shallots.

"What Dad means, the Mandate of Heaven is not just a good person!" Wang Xi turned around and patted Wang Wanyu on the back, "Yu'er go down first, Dad has something to tell your mother!" ”

"Yes, Yu'er knows that Daddy is very busy!" Wang Wanyu left the hall and walked towards her boudoir, just took two small steps, but turned back again, "Dad, don't work too hard, you can leave something to the eldest brother and second brother, Yu'er...... Yu'er is older, and she can also help her father! ”

Wang Xi stared at her daughter's back, thoughtfully, nodded unconsciously, sat for a while, and finally got up, went to the inner room, and wrote an invitation in person.

He blew the ink on the invitation, folded it carefully, put it in his arms, and before going out, he went to see his wife, "I will invite the Governor to dinner in the evening, and you can prepare a few more dishes." ”

Madame put down the soles of her shoes and said with a smile: "The Grand Duke? Will the Metropolitan Governor come to our house for dinner? ”

Wang Xi said: "The Metropolitan Governor is approachable, as long as I sincerely invite, he will definitely come." ”

"Then I'll go and get ready," said Madame, who was about to leave, and after a moment's thought, "how many are there at night?" ”

"There is only one guest, but when the Governor goes out, he will definitely bring his own soldiers, prepare more food in the evening, and ...... more," he whispered softly to his wife's ear.

"Ah......" Madame snorted as if she had been burned by fire, and stayed away, "Master, what are you going to do?" Is it ......?"

"Listen to me, go and get ready......"

Wang Xi came out of the house, although the wind was not strong, but the weather was quite cold, he put on a coat over his cotton jacket, and felt the cold wind drill into his neck, he inserted his hands into his sleeves, and hurried out of the barracks.

On such a cold day, the Mandate of Heaven Army was not stationed in Shangzhou City, but camped outside the village?

Military discipline is strict, and the soldiers do not commit any offense against the people, but also distribute land to the people, so that the people can live a ...... No matter which one it is, it makes him shocked, this Heavenly Mandate Army, this Li Zicheng......

Wang Xi felt more and more that today's dinner party must be invited, the sooner the better, we must be in front of Wangjiazhuang, Wang Hu is also a human spirit, don't let him see the clues!

When Li Zicheng heard that Wang Xi was visiting, he thought that there was something wrong with the distribution of land, so he summoned Wang Xi in the military camp, and when he learned that it was a banquet, he was able to shirk and said: "The Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion has always been unable to take advantage of the people, although Wang Jiachang is much richer than ordinary people's families, but he is also a member of the people, and the Governor of Heaven cannot break the rules of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion." ”

Wang Xijian Li Zicheng didn't look like he was fake, and his face was surprised, "When the Metropolitan Governor comes to Wangjialou, he is the villain's guest, even if the villain wants to cling to the Metropolitan Governor's ......."

"No, no," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "As long as Wang Jiachang does errands according to the law, he doesn't need to cling to anyone, on the side of the Heavenly Mandate Army, everyone is doing things according to the law." ”

"The Governor, the villain understands that the Mandate of Heaven Army and the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion value the law, but between people, there are always relatives and friends," Wang Xi was anxious, hurriedly got up from his seat, arched his hands and said: "When the Mandate of Heaven Army comes to the new land, it is natural to communicate with the people, otherwise how can they know the needs of the people?" The villain is the people who represent Wangjialou......"

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed and said, "According to Wang Jiachang's words, this dinner, does the governor of Pontus have to go?" ”

Wang Xi saw that Li Zicheng's attitude was relaxed, and he was overjoyed in his heart, "The governor of the capital, it's not a formal dinner, and the villain won't invite irrelevant people, it's just a little bit of the villain's heart......"

"Since this is the case, then it is disrespectful," Li Zicheng returned the salute, thinking that Wang Xi was concerned about making a fortune, so he said: "Wang Lichang should not trouble!" ”

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, just let the cheap cook a few home-cooked side dishes," Wang Xi smiled, arched his hands, and saluted Li Zicheng again and again, "That villain is waiting for the Metropolitan Governor at home!"
