Wen Chou returned from Chen Pengli with a full load, and he was in a good mood.

The next thing is simple, Jiang Hui there, Wen Chou proposed a little, and immediately promised to lend the books in his family, but he just asked that he could reproduce the books in this library freely. Wen Chou agreed without thinking about it.

The problem of the source of the book is solved. Jiang Cheng provided as many as 400 volumes! Look, the bamboo slips full of five bookcases occupy a huge room, which really scared Wen Chou. If this is all reproduced, it will not take a few years! It's really 'sweaty'. And Jiang Hui's family has less, about 100 volumes, excluding the duplication with Jiang Cheng's family, there are only about 50 volumes, but there are really a lot. Later, Wen Chou searched for about fifty volumes from several wealthy families. In total, there are as many as 500 scrolls.

When Wen Chou released the news of the establishment of the library, the scholars of the entire Shahe Township were boiling, and they came to the official temple one after another to ask Wen Chou about the truth of the matter. When he received an affirmative answer, he returned satisfied.

The problem of the library has been partially solved, and the system of borrowing and leasing books needs to be further explored. After all, that's just Wen Chou's idea, and there is still a long way to go before it can be implemented. At present, the current situation in Shahe Township did not give him this time, because the farming began to be busy. And the problem of the library can only be dealt with after the extension.

It's the beginning of September! It is time to harvest corn and sow winter wheat.

Groups of villagers came to the official temple to receive farm tools, and Wen Chou gave the greatest satisfaction one by one. made the villagers all grateful to Dade and shouted for their parents. When he came to receive the farm tools, Wen Chou also said: "After this harvest, it must be handed over to the government as much as 50%, as a reward for the township's protection of them and life-saving assets." These homeless people didn't say much, they all thought that this was right, after all, Wen Chou had spared no effort to give them such and such help in the last four or five months, so that they could get through the difficulties smoothly! This is the grace of life.

And the share drawn by Wen Chou and his people seems to be really not small, but it is nothing compared to this bumper harvest year. Because these villagers have cultivated more than twice as much land as before, looking at this year, the harvest will be more than double that of usual! Why not repay the favor? Besides, Wen Chou has helped them far more than these grains! Some people even think that there is less of the ugly extraction!

The villagers are simple, and the ugliness of the officials is naturally a lot easier.

The villagers harvest seeds, and it is definitely not possible without wheat seeds, and in the township, I never thought that after this year's meeting, so many displaced people in Xin'an, I had no choice but to seek the county.

This Japanese Wenchou took Xiangzuo Wang Chong and Sanshi townsmen to Pingjian County.

As soon as I got out of the township pavilion and walked to the official road, I could see that on both sides of the official road and beyond, the villagers were mostly wearing short brown, bowing their heads and waving sickles, harvesting corn, and there was no lack of hearty laughter. And a little farther away, there are some fields of rich families, and I saw that most of them were dressed in short brown with imprints, and they were the vacans and servants of these families, and although their faces were not very happy, they were not as sad as usual, after all, the grain harvest of the master's family was abundant, and their enslaved subordinate families would be better off than usual.

Most of them were forced to surrender their land and their entire family population to the landlords, formed a dependent relationship with the landlords, had no personal freedom, were slaves for generations, and lived a miserable life, and their status was no different from serfs except that they could not be bought and sold. And this situation, at the moment in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is extremely common! The Book of the Later Han Dynasty once recorded: 'The rooms of the wealthy are hundreds of buildings, the fields are full of anointing, and the slaves and maids have thousands of hairs, and they are attached to thousands of schemes. It can be seen that the degree of its deterioration can't help but be revealed, and the desperate Qiantou rises up.

Of course, these families are also common in Shahe Township, even his Wen family, and there are dozens of families attached to them, but Wen Chou treats them like ordinary farmers, and they have never been bullied.

"Chongzhi thinks, like a busy farmer, now in the countryside about geometry?" Wen Chou rode on his horse and said abruptly.

"These are attached? There are about six or seven small families of 100,000, about a dozen of hundreds of thousands of Chinese families, no less than a few dozen of millions of homes, and hundreds of tens of millions of homes. Wang Chong was stunned for a moment, immediately understood, and estimated what he said.

"Oh, so what are the geometries of the small family, the middle family, the big family, and the wealthy family in the hometown?" Wen Chou asked casually.

"There are 5,000 households in Shahe Township, in addition to more than 3,000 outdoor households in Xin'an recently, there are more than 1,000 local villagers, and the branch is between the ten pavilions. Each pavilion must have a household with millions of assets, and each pavilion has jurisdiction over several miles, where there are more than seventy, there must be several families in each mile. Other small families with tens of thousands of dollars are several times more than the middle family. In addition, there are two surnames of Liu and Du, which are worth tens of millions! Wang Chong thought for a moment and said with emotion. He himself is a township, responsible for assisting people with rank and collecting taxes, and he is clear about the wealthy families in the township.

"Alas, it seems that one-tenth of the population of the village has been ordered by others!" Wen scandal said, sighed inexplicably, and said.

"Time is also fate, Wen Jun has a lot of plans for the township, and he has long been worthy of Xiangguo and fulfilled his order. Where to sigh? Wang Chong said respectfully.

"Although he is worthy of the emperor and the court, he did not save the people from fire and water. What do you think about the current situation where thieves are frequent and traitors are rampant? Wen Scandal said, frowned slightly, and said cautiously.

"Hehe, Wen Jun's meaning, I also understand a little. Many thieves are poor, hungry and poor, and have no clothes, so they have the heart of death, and the local wealthy families, who are attached to the apprentices and bring their own swords, are not subordinate. It is a traitor for the sake of the thief's law. Wang Chong said with a smile when he saw Wen Chou being so cautious.

"It's Zixiao who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he is guilty of sin." When Wen Chou heard this, he smiled and said. However, he didn't expect that Wang Chong, a small villager, could say such things. Although it is not possible to explain the root cause of the current chaos clearly, it can also be analyzed from the grassroots level. Then he continued: "As Oki said, then, what is the solution now? ”

"The solution is nothing more than to eliminate people's grievances and solve the heroes." Wang Chong said without thinking about the reason why he had just spoken. Apparently already thought about it.

"Eliminate people's grievances and relieve heroes, good, good. Now Chongzhi thinks, where is my sigh? Wen Chou sighed twice and suddenly asked rhetorically.

"Wen Jun's intention, he wants to suppress the wealthy clan in the township to save his disciples?" Wang Chong said in surprise. For the Hao family, vain can be said to be their second fundamental! The most important thing is, of course, the wealth, and in a sense, it is also where the power of these wealthy clans lies. Wen Chou wanted to take the power of the Hao clan at all, and Wang Chong had to be surprised. There was even more panic.

"It's not 'saving', it's 'solving'!" Wen Chou corrected.

"Where?" Wang Chong didn't dare to be careless, and immediately asked. If Wen Chou doesn't give an effective solution and doesn't anger the wealthy family, he Wang Chong will not dare to tie himself to a chariot with him, who is always different from ordinary people, and he still cherishes his own life very much.

"Without him, it's just to improve the living conditions of some vains. Otherwise, seeing that the people in the township are getting richer and richer, they will definitely have the heart of comparison, which will breed other hearts, and they may not have the action of making trouble! Wen Chou sighed.

"So how can we improve our state of life?" Wang Chong listened to Wen Chou's explanation, still not satisfied, and then asked.

"'Saving' it will definitely touch the interests of the wealthy family, and it is not the work of the wise; 'Solution' will give benefits to the wealthy family, so as to gradually solve the state of attaching serfs to the family. This is the 'solution'. Seeing this, Wen Chou said.

"That is, 'solution', you will not use swords in vain?" Wang Chong was still a little worried.

However, everyone is eager to benefit, and the wealthy are still very much. There will be no hindrance. Wen Chou said. It's just that he didn't say that he would definitely not use swords, only that swords were not the first means.

In this way, as long as it is not opposed by the arrogant households, this matter can be done. But we should also be cautious. Wang Chong thought about it left and right, and then sighed and said.

In the time that followed, neither of them was talking, but thinking about each other. Wen Chou thought carefully about what kind of interests would make the wealthy families give up such a big help. Wang Chong thought, if Wen Chou really did what Fang Cai said, where would he go? Closely following Wen Chou, if there are no major changes, it will definitely be able to rise in the future; also follows Wen Chou, and if Wen Chou fails in the future, it will inevitably affect the pond fish. Tangled!

A team of more than 30 people, in the discussion and chatter of the people of Qianshou who were busy harvesting on both sides of the official road, slowly marched towards Pingjian County.

Pingjian County, compared with the past, is more prosperous. I think it's about to return to the way it was before the Moth Thieves. These have a lot to do with the newly built Taolin Lieutenant Military Department in the territory.

The leaders of the county, in addition to their leisure time, are also happy to talk about the 'chivalrous filial piety' of Shahe Township, which has recently become famous in the county. Talk about this person being in rank and lieutenant position! The management of Shahe Township will be prosperous. From time to time, there are also rumors of his heroic deeds of going deep into the thief camp and killing the thief general, which really satisfies the gossip heart of the people of Qianshou.

On this day, Wen Chou took Wang Chong and the Sanshi townsmen to the gate of Pingjian County, and saw the people waiting to enter the city in a long line, and couldn't help frowning. Wang Chong was alert and called a villager to explain it. Then things were much simpler, the man who guarded the door, heard that it was the rumored 'chivalrous filial piety' Wen Chou came, and he didn't dare to slack off. After carefully inspecting it, with the intention of admiration, Wen Chou and his party passed first.

Originally, the villagers in the back queue were still a little resentful, but I don't know who said, "Isn't that a rank Wenjun in Shahe Township?" "It was a lot of peace at the moment, and then it was a sensation.
