Zhang Qu came to Fuzhou, and immediately began to strictly implement Li Zhongju's instructions, all kinds of reform measures, Zhang Qu was meticulously implemented, although there was a lot of resistance, but Zhang Qu still relied on his extraordinary wisdom to easily resolve it, after all, Fujian still has a Zhenwu army.
Li Ran and Zhao Peng were a lot idle at this time, when the two came to Fujian, they found that many foreigners had all run away, it seems that they were already very afraid of Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, and the martial army.
The two reported the news to the prince, and Li Zhongju ordered the two to fully cooperate with Governor Zhang Qu to start the reform.
Of course, the two have no opinion, they also feel that a reform is needed, a reform big enough, otherwise the people will not know how we can defeat the foreign devils.
Many people have come to their senses in this reform, and they are determined to fully support the reform of Zhennan Wang and return China to a strong and prosperous country.
There is a village in Guangxi, although there is a lot of land, but 80 percent of it belongs to the landlords, and many peasants are working for the landlords. But with this reform, all this changed, and the peasants were given the land of their dreams, and you can imagine how happy they were. Many people have already worshipped Li Zhongju as a god and Buddha.
Although some landlords are unhappy, they can understand when they receive some subsidies from the government and they are all conscientious Chinese. They should have contributed some strength to the strength of the nation, and at the same time, they have also received a lot of benefits.
On September 26, Li Zhongju led a small number of guards to Huizhou Mansion in Guangdong Province secretly, and at the same time, more than 100 members of the Independent Regiment secretly protected him. Li Zhongju decided to secretly investigate how this reform was?
So far, Li Zhongju found that except for some elderly people who are over sixty or seventy years old, almost all the rest of them have cut off their braids. As for the old people, they are all more nostalgic, so if they don't cut it, they don't cut it.
Li Zhongju looked at an old farmer in his fifties sitting on a stake on the side of the road, and immediately stepped forward, "Hello old farmer, it looks like you are very energetic!" ”
The old peasant immediately came back to his senses from deep thought, looked at Li Zhongju carefully, and found that Li Zhongju was obviously different from ordinary people, and this kind of temperament was by no means something that ordinary people could have. The old people in the countryside still have this knowledge, and the young man in front of him is definitely not simple.
So the old farmer smiled and said, "Yes, old man, I'm in a good mood now, since the king of Zhennan ordered the reform, my three sons have all been given land, and they no longer have to help the landlord stretch the work, you say, old man, can I not be happy?" ”
Li Zhongju nodded, "Uncle, how much land did your three sons divide in total?" ”
The old man immediately said happily, "The three sons have a total of ten acres of land, which is enough for us to eat." This is something that I would never have dared to think of before, and the king of Zhennan is really good to us people. ”
Li Zhongju talked to the old man about some other things, and the old man knew everything, and what he said was what Li Zhongju needed.
Li Zhongju was a little happy in his heart, and it seemed that the results of his reform were still very good. Li Zhongju was secretly happy, but he decided to go a few more places.
Li Zhongju led the crowd to continue southward, and along the way Li Zhongju was very happy that he did not encounter anything that dissatisfied him.
In the county, there is a large household that controls almost the entire grain and other industries in the county, and the land is as much as hundreds of thousands of acres. When the family got the king of Zhennan to rectify, the head of the family surnamed Luo immediately gave the county order thousands of taels of silver, and the mountain was high and the emperor was far away.
Luo Min has been the same since then, and the children of the Luo family don't know how to converge, so they are even more full of wind and rain in the city, and the sky is angry and resentful.
When Li Zhongju and the others entered Qiwei County, they obviously felt that the atmosphere was not right, and there was no scene of people smiling and people living and working in peace and contentment as they saw in other places along the way.
Li Zhongju's face turned blue in an instant, and his heart was filled with infinite anger, what does this county order of Weiwei County do, why didn't he report such a big thing?
Li Zhongju forcibly suppressed his anger and decided to investigate openly and secretly before making a decision.
At the same time, the guards beside Li Zhongju were also full of anger, they had already hated the county order, and this county order was probably in a catastrophe, after all, this county order was too greedy.
Li Zhongju and the others walked for about a dozen miles, and found six or seven prime-aged peasants and two old men sitting on the side of the road, their faces were yellow and thin, and they seemed to have not had a full meal for many days.
Li Zhongju and the others immediately walked up to them, "Hello folks, we are inspectors in the province, and we want to know about your situation here." Can you talk about it? ”
The thin old man looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and his mouth opened three or four times, as if he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.
Li Zhongju sat down, "Uncle, don't have any worries, just say whatever you want, we will definitely make decisions for you." ”
A young man next to him also persuaded, "Dad, you just tell a few officials, we won't have a good time anyway, maybe this is an opportunity for us people." ”
Finally, the old man mustered up his courage, "A few officials, but you don't know, there is a Luo family in the county, and they rely on their huge power to do some crazy things. When we heard that the people in the surrounding counties had been given land, we went to the county government and said that we were whipped by the county order, and at the same time threatened us not to poke out the matter so that outsiders would know about it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
The more Li Zhongju listened, the more angry he became, it really didn't make sense, okay, I didn't expect there to be such a blatant official under my rule.
Li Zhongju comforted them and said, "Don't worry, we already know about this matter, and if the matter is true, we will definitely give everyone an explanation." ”
Thump!
Plop, plop!
The people actually knelt down and almost wept, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
"Hurry up, everyone." Li Zhongju helped up a few people one by one.
In the end, Li Zhongju and the others continued to go towards the county seat.
Everyone looked at the back of Li Zhongju and the others leaving, and they had an inexplicable peace of mind, maybe they could share the land and cultivate like the neighboring counties.
The news that Li Zhongju and others heard along the way was the same, which made everyone realize that the county order of Qiwei was definitely colluded with the Luo family.
It was getting dark, and Li Zhongju and the others also entered the city before closing the city gate.
"Help!" A terrible scream came, and the brows of Li Zhongju and the others furrowed.
