The "Xincun Special Law on Wartime" was quickly promulgated in the nine towns under its jurisdiction, and the main contents of the special law were:

1. All residents in the jurisdiction voluntarily join Daxin Village, and grain and property are voluntarily deposited in the "Xincun Credit Cooperative" of Xincun.

2. Livestock, poultry, farm tools and furniture are sold to Xincun at a price, and the proceeds are deposited into Xincun Credit Cooperative.

3. The withdrawal of money and food needs to be reported one day in advance.

4. All poor households, tenants, and serfs in the jurisdiction have the right to choose to join the new village, and no one can stop them, and if the above-mentioned people really owe money to the original employer, the jury of the new village shall re-determine the amount of arrears and draw up a repayment plan, and the debtor shall pay the creditor in batches with the labor remuneration obtained by the new village according to the repayment plan.

5. Those who dare to maliciously prevent tenants and serfs from joining the new village shall be punished with whipping at the light of the case, and the law will be rectified on the spot and the property will be confiscated.

As soon as the special law was promulgated, the poor households, tenants, and serfs rushed to tell each other, and they were suddenly free, they were originally confined to the land, and could only rely on the sky for food, and now they have the right to choose to join the new village, not to mention that this year's drought is a foregone conclusion, the crops in the fields are all about to die, many people are on the verge of despair, and even hope that the rebel army will soon arrive in Henan, so that they can seek a glimmer of life.

This practice of the new village actually solved the root cause of the peasant violence in the late Ming Dynasty. Problem: The Ming Dynasty had a strict household registration system, absolutely prohibiting the migration of peasants, and peasants were firmly imprisoned in the land and became the main body of tax payment in the imperial court. However, in the event of natural and man-made disasters, peasants are not allowed to leave their places of origin in order to make a living, and they are judged to be homeless, regarded as illegal, and will be wanted by the government, and once caught, if they are lucky not to be killed, they will be repatriated to their hometowns. Chinese peasants have had a plot of being unable to leave their homeland since ancient times, and if they were not forced to leave their homeland, who would have left their homeland? Especially in the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, the corrupt political system of the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, frantically maintaining the interests of the big bureaucrats and the landlord class, ignoring the life and death of the grassroots peasants, not only did not effectively rescue the victims, but also forced them to stay where they were, sitting on the ground and waiting for death. Move.

Yu Xiang's approach solved the problem of peasant mobility, first solving the peasants' territorial problems, providing food assistance, and then moving to the rich lands in the south in batches to make a living for them. Of course, this practice will undoubtedly seriously damage the vested interests of the landlords and gentry, and lead to a strong resistance of this class. The system is based on the opportunity for Yu Xiang to wait for the opportunity, so that the landlord and gentry class have nothing to say. Now, the time has come, in the name of resisting the invasion of the rogues, the promulgation of the "Xincun Wartime Special Law", so that all walks of life have nothing to say, and the defense against the rogues is more of their concern than the loss of serfs, because the rogues may loot their property and take their lives. The new village did not take extreme measures, did not completely deprive the landlords and squires of their property and land, but in the form of voluntary deposit, deposited in the new village, this gentle way, won the support and positive response of some small and medium-sized landlords and gentry, they enthusiastically deposited their property in the new village, so that the new village in a short period of time, quickly accumulated a large amount of wealth, accumulated a large amount of food, prepared for the next natural disaster, for the new village to soon implement the new village currency issuance plan to lay the foundation.

Yu Xiang planned to use the power of war to dismantle the serfdom of feudal society and lead social change in a moderate reform way.

Goudan is a warm-hearted person, he and Qian Haoran are doing the ideological work of the squire landlord Li Qiankun, Goudan patiently persuaded the landlord Li Qiankun: "Our two families are still close to each other, my aunt is from this village, in terms of seniority, you are my grandfather's generation, there are two and a half days left, if you don't join the new village, you just want to join the new village in the future, and there is no chance." If they really come, I am afraid that you will ruin your family and lose your money. ”

Li Qiankun glared at his eyes and said: "Don't bluff me, store my grain to you, say it's storage, and you have to report it in advance before taking it, is this a robbery?" I also took away all the serf workers in my family, you want our lives, I swear to death and don't agree, you don't bother to speak, which is cool to go where it is cool, unless you want my old life, otherwise, if you want me to agree, no way! ”

Li Qiankun's eldest son Li Daobai said: "Dad, this is an extraordinary period, Yu Qian always does this, it must be reasonable, if the bandits are robbed, there will be nothing at that time, and they have to take the lives of the family, now, the new village is good, everyone has food, clothing, and safety, everyone can't get in if they want to, now there is this opportunity, we have to seize it, there is nothing to worry about." ”

Li Qiankun yelled: "Daobai, you rebel! Don't say any more, and I'll break your dog's leg again! ”

Li Daobai was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and if he did not deposit his belongings in the cooperative, he would not be eligible to join the new village. Even if Li Daobai wants to enter the new village, it is impossible.

Goudan sighed: "In this case, I can't help you anymore, let's go!" With that, he beckoned a few people around him, turned around and was about to leave.

Li Daobai hurriedly shouted: "Elder Li, please stay." ”

The dog stopped, turned around, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Li Daobai said: "If we split up, my father's share will belong to him, and I will put my share into the Xincun Credit Cooperative, so can I enter the Xincun?" ”

The dog was embarrassed, the special law did not stipulate so, Qian Haoran said: "Captain, this is not impossible!" Can you be accommodating? ”

Goudan thought: It's too late to ask Mr. Qian, I usually have a good personal relationship with Mr. Qian, starting from work, there should be no problem with being so flexible. So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'm in charge, if you split up and your part of your property is deposited in the cooperative, you can join the new village." ”

Li Qiankun saw that the general trend had gone, and he was also worried about the invasion of bandits, so he might be able to leave a way back for the Li family, he agreed to Li Daobai's proposal to divide the Li family on the spot, and even Li Daoxiu, the girl who was not out of the Li family, also shared a share, and Li Daobai and Li Daoxiu both volunteered to join the new village.

In the end, only Li Qiankun and his wife and a faithful elderly family were left behind in the Li family compound of Nuoda.

This flexible practice of the dog was soon transmitted back to the new village, recognized by Yu Xiang, and distributed to the hands of the governors as a supplementary clause of the special law, which played a very positive role, dozens of landlords and squires carried out lightning separation, and many young people went to the new village with their share of the family property.

Wang Baoqiang, a long-term worker, is urging his wife and two daughters to pack up their things and rush to the new village, which is said to be necessary to arrive in the new village within three days, so as not to delay the time to enter the new village.

Since the elder generation, his family has been working long hours in the family of the financial professer, and will never pay off the debts of the Zhang family, the eldest daughter Wang Xiaohua is seventeen years old, and has been promised to Zhang Yuanwai's neurotic youngest son, set a good date, and will pass the door in the near future.

Although Wang Baoqiang disagreed, he was taken by Zhang Yuanwai's obscenity, and he didn't dare to disobey, otherwise, the family would die. These days, I can't find a place to reason. Now that he has encountered such a good opportunity, how can he miss it!

Wang Baoqiang had just packed up and was about to go out. Zhang Yuanwai took a few well-raised thugs, holding a big guillotine in his hand, standing outside his dilapidated thatched hut viciously, Wang Baoqiang took his wife and daughter out quickly, knelt down in front of Zhang Yuanwai, kowtowed again and again, and begged them to let him go.

Zhang Yuanwai's eldest son, Zhang Tianshun, held a rattan and roared menacingly: "Your family, eat me, drink me, and owe me, actually did such a disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial thing, and still want to run, raise a dog and know how to repay the master, you are simply a pig and a dog." ”

After that, he raised the rattan and pulled it down fiercely, Wang Baoqiang's family of four hugged together and protected their heads, and their backs soon opened with flesh, and the screams were endless.

Just when they were in the middle of their murder, they heard a rush of footsteps coming, and Ah Niu shouted: "Stop! ”

Ah Niu led a group of people and surrounded them in the shape of a fan. The muzzles of several black holes were pointed at them.

When a few poor thugs saw it just now, they wilted, obediently threw down the guillotine in their hands, stood aside, and grabbed it.

Zhang Yuanwai looked at this situation and snorted coldly: "We don't break the law, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, we owe debts and pay money, it is justified, we come to ask for accounts today, he doesn't pay back, let's teach us a lesson, which law can you bear me?" Do you have a royal law? ”

Zhang Yuanwai's three sons heard his father say this, arrogantly raised the guillotine in his hand and said: "They were my family workers in their last life, and they owe money to my family, but I just won't let them go, what's wrong with you, you still dare to ignore Wang Fa?" ”。

Ah Niu said coldly: "So, you refuse to let people go, refuse to abide by the "Xincun Wartime Special Law", and fight against Lord Qianzong? ”

"Don't bluff people, Qian is a fart! There are people in Lao Tzu's capital, as long as he stretches out a little finger, he will kill the bullshit Qian like an ant, and he will be less fucking bluffing. Zhang Yuanwai's eldest son said arrogantly.

Ah Niu stopped talking and gave an order with a wave of his hand.

Several soldiers around him listened to them insulting Master Qianzong, and they couldn't bear it for a long time, and when they got the order from Ah Niu, they pulled the trigger without hesitation, and immediately spewed out several angry tongues of fire from the muzzle of the gun.

Several gunshots rang out, and Zhang Yuanwai and his three sons were all shot in the head and fell to the ground.

When the thugs saw it, they all collapsed to the ground.

Ah Niu announced: "Zhang Sutian's family is armed to prevent Wang Baoqiang's family from joining the new village, maliciously resisting the law, and has corrected the law on the spot. confiscated his family property. ”

Ah Niu led people to the Zhang family compound, the youngest son of the Zhang family heard the news of the death of his father and brother, he was mentally ill, copied a kitchen knife, and ran towards Ah Niu, when he heard a gunshot, this guy was shot in the head and fell to the ground and died.

An obese old woman was about to come over desperately with her teeth and claws, but she was also punished on the spot and shot in the head.

At this time, no one in the Zhang family compound dared to resist, and several women held their children and knelt tremblingly in the courtyard. The poor households, who were usually bullied by them, raised their arms and fists to go up and beat them, but Ah Niu sternly stopped: "We are not bandits, the lawbreakers have been duly punished, and no one else is allowed to be touched." ”

These people just stopped. was busy confiscating the Zhang family's property and registering it for confiscation.

Zhang Yuanwai violently resisted the law, and six people were corrected on the spot, and the news of the confiscation of property soon spread, and the other squires and landlords were terrified, knowing the power of the new village, no one dared to resist the law.

I saw that on the road to the new village, there were people everywhere who helped the old and the young, led cattle and pigs, and went to the new village, small and medium-sized landlords and squires, who took the initiative to deposit their money and grain into the credit cooperative.

Only a very small number of squire landlords chose to stay where they were, guarding their ancestral business, and not cooperating with the new village.

In three days, the personnel of the other eight towns gathered in Dongshuanghe Town, lived in a simple wooden house, Shengying and several other lieutenants were responsible for unified coordination and arrangement, from these people to discover the young and strong, select the excellent, enrich the defense of the new village, village affairs, Li Daobai can be literate and literate, was selected as the teacher of the new village, Li Daoxiu is good at embroidery, was selected into the embroidery room, sewing the new village military flag.

A made military flag was sent over, Yu Xiang opened the military flag, and the red background was embroidered with blue and white Taiji diagrams.

Miss Xu San asked: "This blue is very beautiful and fresh, but it is not as eye-catching and domineering as black and white." Why don't you use black and white Taiji? Is there anything special about the red backing of the military flag? ”

Yu Xiang stroked the military flag intoxicated, and replied with infinite longing: "The blue sky and white clouds represent sunshine and peace, and represent peace. I want this world to be free from the noise of war, to be quiet and peaceful, and for everyone to live and work in peace and contentment, and if anyone disturbs peace, we will defend it with blood, and let him pay the price of blood. Red is the color of blood, and peace is fought for at the cost of blood, and it is also used to warn future generations to cherish peace, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and work hard. I hope to establish a virtuous environment that repeats the cycle, inclusive, self-evolution, and eliminates those things that are out of date, lifeless, and decadent, so that they can evolve and become stronger, so that the splendid Chinese civilization will continue to circulate and never exhaust, and will be passed down through generations, so that the wisdom of the ancestors will be in our generation and thousands of future generationsFlourish! ”

Yu Xiang's face showed infinite yearning and longing for the future, and his tone revealed his determination and courage to realize this wish!

Miss Xu San's heart was beating wildly, and her admiration and admiration were like a river bursting its banks. When Yu Xiang said these words, although she could not fully understand them, she felt that Yu Xiang was like a giant, which was admired and worshipped, and perhaps, when she saw him at the Futai Inn, she was curious about him, prompting her to come to this remote town; In the town, I saw him face the Black Tiger Gang's death-defying spirit, with a pathetic heroism complex, and let her come to Xincun; Now, I appreciate this man's cosmic mind, in his bosom, full of sunshine and warmth, which is exactly what she has been looking for for so many years, she has made a lot of money, but she has always lived in fear, always worried that others will rob her of her property and make her repeat the mistakes of her father and brother. Since she saw Yu Xiang, she had a direction, her heart was at peace, when Yu Xiang was injured and lying on the bed dying, she felt that the sky had fallen, and she felt suffocated and panicked. Therefore, she was a weak woman, risking her life, and resolutely went to ask the wonderful hand to rejuvenate Yang and save Yu Xiang.

Today, she finally rationally saw the reason for all her crazy actions, all her actions were out of the call of the mysterious power in her heart, she had reached the level of intoxication and obsession with Yu Xiang, from this moment on, she had to use all means, no matter what means, to get this man, when Miss Xu San looked at the red lady again, there was more firmness in her eyes.

At this moment, Kong Huayang came and said, "Lord Qianhu, the gunpowder is running out, what should I do?" ”

"How many rounds have been made?" Yu Xiang asked.

"A total of 8,000 rounds were made, 1,000 were used in normal training, and 7,000 were left."

"It's too late to find gunpowder now, that's all, find out all the weapons, let Qi Dayong choose first, and give the rest of the weapons to Shengying."

"Okay. However, the problem of gunpowder must be solved, and a shortage of gunpowder is not the solution. ”

"Not only gunpowder, pig iron, and coal must be solved, and there will be a solution soon." Yu Xiang said confidently.

When Huo De Zhenjun heard him say this, his heart was much more steady.

As soon as Huo De Zhenjun Kong Huayang left, Jia Bin ran over with sweat on his head, and hurriedly entered the house to report: "A lot of sentry agents were found around, and a few were caught, and after interrogation, they were all Zhang Xianzhong's sentry agents." ”

"Have you found out where their large forces are?" Yu Xiang asked.

"Zhang Xianzhong's troops are in the area of Tongbai County, about 200 miles away from Dongshuanghe Town."

"Okay, let's explore again!"

"Yes!" After Jia Bin finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Slow down, come back!"

Jia Bin stopped for a long time, turned around, and asked in surprise, "There are still orders?" ”

Yu Xiang threw him a bottle of cold water, and at this time, the mineral water bottle left by the red lady was filled with boiled water, and said to him: "This bottle of water is kept for drinking on the road." ”

Jia Binjiu's face showed the beaten expression again: "Qianhu, are there any good things, give me some more." ”

Yu Xiang saw that he was sweating on his face, threw him the towel he brought back from modern society, and said, "No, you wipe your sweat first, it's hard work." ”

"Thank you, and give me a towel." With that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

"I said—wait—when did I say I rewarded you?" But Jia Binjiu, this kid, will definitely not return it when he gets it in his hands.

Yu Xiang clapped his hands and said, "This, there is no towel to use, hey!" This kid! Monkey spirit, climb up the pole. ”

The red lady watched from the side, strange and distressed, this towel was still used by Yu Xiang to tie her arms to stop the bleeding, and the towel kept the memories of the first acquaintance of the red lady and Yu Xiang. The red lady was distressed, she suddenly thought of Mu Xiao'e, and said to Yu Xiang with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I have my own clever plan, let him return the towel obediently!" ”

When Yu Xiang heard this, he roughly guessed the tricks used by the red lady. Heart: It's really a thing to a thing!
