After accompanying the two elders to dinner, Wang Rui returned to the barracks.

He just sat quietly, thinking about his next steps. Originally, Ma Ju and Fang Yuan were the best people to discuss, but when they came to Dengzhou this time, they were all left in place.

After all, it is also very important to guard Wang Rui's base camp. Because at present, whether in terms of loyalty or ability, Ma Ju is still irreplaceable by anyone.

Of course, Wang Rui didn't dare to bring Ma Ju along. Because he knew that his crazy killing by unscrupulous means to achieve his goals would not be able to pass the moral bottom line of Ma Ju.

If anyone else's words, Wang Rui can not care. Ma Ju's words, but he had to care. In other words, pretending, he has to pretend to care a lot. There is no other reason, Ma Ju is his loyal eldest brother in this life, and he is really his right-hand man.

With the Laizhou Army, oh, now called the Dengzhou Army, the territory controlled by him became larger and larger, Wang Rui felt that the soldiers and generals in his hands were becoming more and more insufficient.

Not to mention other places, if you want to completely occupy the northern part of Chaoxian and gain overwhelming superiority over the two opponents of Chaoxian and Manchu, then you have to increase the number of troops on the Chaoxian Peninsula by 10,000.

It seems that it is time to recruit and expand the army again. Well, at least another 10,000 will have to be recruited! Wang Rui made up his mind.

However, how to recruit and where to recruit, Wang Rui has not yet decided for a while.

"My lord! Outside the camp, there was a stone boy who asked to see him. Brother Yin came in and reported.

"Oh, please!" Wang Rui commanded.

Didn't we just see you in the morning? What is this stone to find himself? Wang Rui guessed in his heart.

"Brother Zhengwei, do you still remember when you first arrived in Dengzhou, did you and my brothers drink and laugh?" Shi Da walked in with a jar of old wine.

"The grace of Brother Xian and Shifu, Rui is unforgettable!" Wang Rui said with a smile.

"Really? Oh, Zhengwei seems to have killed and avenged. Shi Da joked.

"Wang Rui is not talented, how can he let others bully his uncle? If Shifu doesn't repay his kindness, how can Rui be a son of man? Wang Rui and Ma Ju stayed for a long time, and when they spoke on the stage, they could also speak half-literate and half-white.

"Okay, refreshing! Does the younger brother have wine, but does the younger brother have food? Shi Da sat down beside Wang Rui.

Wang Rui instructed someone to bring a few plates of stir-fried vegetables, and the two of them drank one bowl at a time.

After drinking most of the jar, Shi Da pulled Wang Rui's sleeve and said, "The younger brother and Fen'er have been engaged for more than a year, but they can't get married. Can Brother Zhengwei help me? ”

"That's easy to say! Could it be that this girl's family is blocking it? How about sending a team of men and horses to welcome him immediately? Wang Rui patted his chest and took it all over.

"No, no, no! The obstacle is not in the woman's house. It's from my ears! Shi Da shook his head and denied.

Oh, what's the situation? Could it be that this guy is in free love? That was the precedent of the Ming Dynasty.

However, he said that he was engaged for more than a year, that is, he was approved by the parents of both parties. What obstacles will there be? Wang Rui felt that he still couldn't understand many things about the Ming Dynasty.

"The eldest sister is unmarried, and the younger brother can't marry!" Shi Da said after taking a heavy sip of wine.

"Oh." Wang Rui finally understood. Wang Rui remembered that in his previous life, in many rural areas in China, it was indeed the eldest and second and third ......, who got married in turns one by one.

However, this Shi family woman is not married, what is the matter of my wool?

"My sister is twenty years old, gentle and beautiful, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needle embroidery and cooking, all of whom have dabbled in ......, which can be ......" Shi Da praised his sister.

"A good match for my brother! Ha ha! Wang Rui suddenly grabbed Shi Da's hand. He was quite proud of his Lalang this time.

Ma Ju, Ma Ju is the most suitable candidate. He is also a scholar, he was a talent when he was a teenager, and now he is a senior official and is now a senior official. Isn't it just right to match this Miss Shi family?

"Yes, yes!" Shi Da also reacted. Ma Ju is the most suitable, why didn't we think of it before.

Moreover, this Ma Ju has no marriage match, and he is the wife of the main house when he marries him, which is just in line with the identity of the sister! Lord Wang Ruiwang, after all, he has already married a wife and married a concubine in the past, and the Shi family still feels a little unbearable in face.

So, poor Ma Ju and Shi Wan'er were arranged together by two drunkards.

Shi Da went back to talk to Shi's father and Shi's mother, and the two elders were quite satisfied. If it weren't for Wang Rui's busy land reform of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" these days, I'm afraid the Shi family would soon let Ma Ju come to greet him.

After mastering all the fish scale land registers in Dengzhou, Wang Rui selected more than 200 households as the targets of land reform.

In Xijia Village, Huangxian County, Dengzhou, the first criticism meeting of the Dengzhou Army was held here.

The head of the Xi family in Xijia Village, Xi Ya Xi Juren, was tied to the pillar of the high platform at this time. He had a big stinky cloth stuffed into his mouth, and his hair was scattered, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Folks! Now that the loyal uncle and the general Zhengdong have come, the days of your suffering are over. All the bad people who oppress the poor people and collude with dog officials and full of captive Tartars will be severely punished! Now, everyone has come up to speak enthusiastically to expose the crimes of this local tyrant and inferior gentry in Asia! Lin Side shouted loudly.

"Folks, come up and expose his evil deeds! Those who dare to come out and participate in the exposé will be rewarded with silver and land! Another instructor, Li Keqiang, also called loudly.

The originally quiet crowd under the stage suddenly erupted into a low conversation. Soon, however, everyone cringed back and fell silent.

After seeing this situation, Zhang Er glanced at the thin man wearing a straw hat under the stage, and the thin man immediately rushed to the stage.

"Smack, smack!" This person slapped Xi Yaya twice left and right, and then scolded hatefully: "Lao Tzu is Yang Guigui, a gelding in Shanghe Village, who geldinged pigs and sheep to this dog thief, not only did he not get a penny, but he was also beaten by this dog called out of the house." Hmph, I can't imagine that you, a dog thief, have today. ”

After scolding, the man named Yang Guigui pulled up his trousers and exposed a scar several inches long in front of everyone.

"Beat, kill this rich and unkind dog thief." Behind the crowd, several young men in rotten straw hats glanced at each other, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Little brother, you're doing a great job! The evil deeds of these local tyrants and shoddy gentry should be exposed and made public. Come on, get the bonus!" In front of everyone, Lin Side put a three-two-heavy little ingots brother into Yang Guigui's hands.

"I am a tenant of this dog thief's family, and I have been renting his land. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there was no harvest in the ground, so the thief called the family to take away my big yellow dog! The next day he was killed and ate meat. My poor 'rhubarb'! A stout man rushed up and made another accusation.

Ah, isn't this a swimming tiger? He doesn't seem to have any big yellow dogs?

"Brother, you have suffered! Go to the side and register, and lead the fat pig away. Li Dazui patted You Laohu's shoulder.

Watching You Tiger lead a big fat pig away, the eyes of the people on the stage were shining. Soon, more people came out and exposed the ugly deeds of this old man one by one.

Some people came up at the end, and they let others talk about all the things that bullied men and women, and they really couldn't find anything to say. He told all the things about this Asian peeking at Aunt Zhang taking a bath when she was eight years old and stealing persimmons from Liu Erye's mountain.

"Shoot him!" "Kill him!" With the cooperation of the MI personnel who had done the childcare in advance, a loud shout broke out in the crowd.

In response to the call of the people, Xi Yaya was immediately beheaded in public.
