The celebration banquet was over, and the council hall was quickly cleaned up, Yu Xiang sat in the council hall, thinking about the current situation and the development of the new village.

He vaguely felt that he came to this world by accident, and he must have come with some kind of mission. He didn't know what this mission was, so he could only follow his inner thoughts and move forward step by step.

In his heart, he doesn't want to fight violence with violence, he knows very well that the Chinese dynasties and dynasties, the price paid for fighting violence with violence is so painful, and the change of dynasty has led to China being in the disaster of brutal extermination for a long time, and the cycle has lasted for thousands of years: there were more than 20 million people in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, and after the peasant war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, by the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the population was reduced by 70%.

In the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, the national population was reduced from 59.59 million in 2 AD to 21 million in 57 AD, a 65% decrease in population.

The population of the Three Kingdoms War decreased from 50.07 million in 156 AD to 9 million in 221 AD; The population has been reduced by 82 per cent.

The North and South Koreas were in turmoil, and only 1-2% of the population of the Guanzhong region remained.

There were 4.69 million people in the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, and only 2 million people were there when the Southern Chen Dynasty fell, and the population was reduced by 60%.

The Sui Dynasty was destroyed, and the population decreased from 46.02 million in 606 AD to 12.35 million in 639, a decrease of 73%.

The Anshi Rebellion increased from 52.92 million in 755 to 16.99 million in 760, a decrease of 68%.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the land where Huangchao passed, the people were pure, and the land was thousands of miles.

From 93.47 million in 1122 to 8.87 million in 1274 in the early Yuan Dynasty, the population decreased by 91%.

Besides, in the late Ming Dynasty period in which he is currently located, if the original trajectory of history develops, from Li Zicheng's uprising to the demise of Wu Sangui, there will be 54 years of melee. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population was 100 million, and by the time of the Qing dynasty, there were only 14 million people left, and the population had decreased by 80%.

This form of social change of countering violence with violence has not only brought catastrophe to the common people living at the bottom of society, but has also caused devastating damage to the developing human civilization, greatly delaying the development process of social, economic, and scientific and technological civilization.

Take the Ming Dynasty as an example, although suffering from internal and external troubles, but its socio-economic and scientific and technological civilization is still in the leading position in the world, historically, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the implementation of the policy of self-containedness, resulting in the loss of the good development opportunities of the industrial revolution in the history of human development, the entire Chinese nation has since lagged behind the forest of the world's nations, and in the following hundreds of years suffered from foreign ** and plunder.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiang's eyes became resolute, he must explore a new path, abandon the past to counter violence with violence, explore a path of self-innovation and self-evolution, carry out the construction of a new village, and achieve the dream of everyone in the heart of the red lady to have food and clothing, he is willing to sacrifice everything and even his life for this dream.

Just as Yu Xiang was contemplating, the dog ran in happily and shouted: "Village master, we are here, if there is anything, just command!" The people in the stockade are here! ”

"So fast!" Yu Xiang said in his heart. At this moment, a large crowd poured in from outside the door, men and women, and entered the hall in a loud voice.

Everyone saw the magnificent hall, the ancestral hall of Mujiazhai could not be compared with it, they curiously touched the pillars, looked at the corner, as if they were happy to move to a new home.

Yu Xiang said to the red lady: "I will convene everyone to hold a villager meeting later, you go and arrange it." The red lady answered.

Yu Xiang said loudly to everyone: "I will hold a meeting for everyone later, and after the meeting, Zhang Erhu will send someone to take you to visit Golgotha, but you are not allowed to touch a single grass or anything, and you are not allowed to beat people and make trouble." ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!" ”

At this time, Goudan said: "Village owner, there are many people outside, all of them joined our team on the road, and everyone has them." ”

Yu Xiang hurriedly went out and stood on the wall, and saw that outside the wall, there were hundreds of people standing densely, and the whole road was crowded.

The gate of the village has been closed at this time, some people are looking for relatives to come, they can no longer enter, are anxiously negotiating with the guards, Yu Xiang asked the reason, the heart said, they are looking for family affection is excusable, but now can not let them enter the village, otherwise, the village will be in chaos.

Yu Xiang stood on the wall and said loudly: "I am the owner of the Mu family, please come back, your relatives will be free today, and they will go home to reunite with you as soon as possible." Rest assured, just wait at home. ”

When everyone heard Yu Xiang say this, they were relieved and saw hope.

However, the crowd still made a commotion, and it was hard to believe that this elegant and handsome young man at the head of the city was actually the leader of the extermination of Gu Batian. Everyone wants to squeeze forward and see more clearly, much like the frenzy of a superstar receiving fans.

Yu Xiang waved goodbye to everyone, walked down the wall, and said to Zhang Erhu: "Go and persuade everyone to disperse, otherwise there will be more and more people, and the scene may get out of control and cause injuries." As for those who are homeless, they will settle in the town of East Shuanghe for the time being. ”

Zhang Erhu said: "The owner of the village is benevolent and righteous, and the small ones will be dealt with." With that, he took the people away.

Yu Xiang came to the meeting hall and saw that everyone had gathered in the hall. After Yu Xiang came to the handsome case, he glanced at everyone, and hundreds of people were suddenly silent.

Yu Xiang said: "Today's meeting, the future and destiny of the people of the whole village, gathered everyone today, and I want to hear everyone's views. ”

The eyes of the crowd flashed with the fanatical light of sworn to follow.

Yu Xiang continued: "Please Jia Daxia, please introduce the situation outside!" ”

Jia Binjiu stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists and bowed: "Subordinates receive orders!" A few years ago, there was a peasant uprising in Henan, everyone knew that Jia Bin had no lies, and they all listened to it.

After Jia Binjiu's introduction, Yu Xiang expressed his thoughts on the distribution of the loot.

Yu Xiang said: "This money and food are like eggs, everyone takes them home and eats them, or they are snatched away, and everyone will return to poverty and go hungry." ”

Most of the people in the hall were from the acrobatic class, and they knew the situation outside very well and agreed one after another.

Yu Xiang continued: "It's better to divide these eggs into a part, so that everyone can eat their stomachs first, and the remaining eggs will hatch into chickens, so that the chickens will lay eggs, and the eggs will be born in chickens, so that everyone will always have eggs to eat, so they don't have to go hungry." ”

After Yu Xiang finished speaking, he looked at everyone. Everyone understood what Yu Xiang meant. At this time, Goudan took the lead and said: "Everything is up to the owner of the village, and the owner of the village says how to divide it, we will divide it." ”

The rest of the people echoed in unison, and everyone had great trust in the owner of the village at this time. Everyone was angry, and the hall was like boiling hot water, and the voices were boiling.

Yu Xiang motioned for everyone to be quiet, and the hall quickly returned to quiet.

Yu Xiang continued: "The top priority is not the issue of distribution, but how to take care of these finances, we must organize and arm, take care of these laying hens, and not let others rob them." But if there are not enough troops to guard these chickens, I am afraid that these chickens, as well as the hundreds of lives of Mujiazhai, will be plundered sooner or later. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, such a simple and easy-to-understand truth, everyone can understand. But what Yu Xiang said next, everyone seemed to understand a little.

Yu Xiang continued: "I want to take Zhangjia New Village as the center, from near to far, and name the three slave villages of the original Gu Batian as New First Village, New Second Village, and New Third Village. Some of the surrounding villages are uninhabited, but they can also be developed to form our new village group, we use these places to farm, raise cattle, raise pigs, raise sheep, raise chickens, produce tea, plant cotton, spin and weave clothes, etc., so that everyone can eat enough, dress warmly, live in a stable place, everyone says, okay? ”

"Good!!" In that era, it was not easy to be fed and clothed, and many people have been fighting for it all their lives.

Yu Xiang changed his words and asked, "What do you think about Gu Batian's wife, concubines, family, and subordinate enslavement?" ”

Mu Hongtie stood up and said loudly: "Chop the grass and eradicate the roots, leave no one, think about what they did, chop it into meat sauce, you don't understand your hatred!" The crowd agreed.

Yu Xiang said: "Those bad things and evil things were all done by Gu Batian, many of them did not participate, and some of them were forced to participate, not to mention that many of these people are also victims of Gu Batian, and those children who are careless are even more guilty?" ”

When everyone heard what the owner of the village said, they were silent, and Ah Niu asked, "Did you let them go like this?" Those dog minions of Gu Batian bullied people and harmed the people! ”

Yu Xiang said: "Of course, I can't let them go indiscriminately, I have already discussed with Sheng Daxia, and Sheng Daxia will take the lead to form a jury, and the jury will decide whether those people are guilty or not, and all the guilty will be punished, and those who are not guilty will be released." We will not spare the most heinous sins! ”

Everyone is very convinced of Sheng Daxia, after all, Sheng Daxia has saved the life of the big guy, not to mention his personal martial arts and character convincing the public. Leave this matter to him, and of course everyone will rest assured.

Yu Xiang continued: "Countering evil with evil, countering violence with violence, is definitely not the path we can take, retribution for injustice, when we can, if we are indiscriminate and rely on the strong to bully the weak, it will only lead to more killings in the end." For those who did not make mistakes on their own initiative, or who made minor mistakes, we should choose to forgive and give them a chance to mend their ways. ”

When everyone heard that the owner of the village was so open-minded, they were deeply impressed and replied loudly: "Agreed! ”

Yu Xiang continued: "We want to unite all kinds of people, including our enemies, even if it is the wife and concubine of Gu Batian, as long as they sincerely change their ways and come willingly to build the new village, we also welcome to build the new village into a stable and united, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has food to eat, this is my dream, my new village dream!" ”

Everyone only listened to the blood boiling, everyone is a rough person, but the three words of "Xincun Dream" are like a brand, deeply imprinted in everyone's heart, Xincun Dream is also the dream of their ancestors for many years, the ancestors for this dream, go south and north, throw their heads, spill blood, go forward and follow-up, and today, the village mainly leads everyone to realize him, how to make the people present not excited, not blood boiling.

I don't know who took the lead in shouting, "Realize the dream of a new village!" Everyone immediately shouted together: "Realize the dream of a new village, realize the dream of a new village!" ”

The high-pitched voice resounded throughout the sky above the village, and spread to the outside of the wall, and the people outside the wall who had not dispersed listened to it really and earnestly, and they all said in their hearts: These people are crazy, in broad daylight, what do you say to realize the dream of a new village?

However, the phrase "realizing the dream of a new village" soon spread throughout Dongshuanghe Town, and eventually flew all over the land of China and reached the ears of Emperor Chongzhen.

Yu Xiang arranged for Zhang Erhu to lead everyone to visit Gujiazhai, and announced the dismissal of the meeting, leaving the Red Lady, Mu Xiaoqing, A Niu, Li Gang, Jia Binjiu and the three brothers of Orion.
