On September 30, when the sky was slightly bright, Zhu Feng commanded the Northern Han soldiers and the Later Zhou soldiers to count and divide all the belongings in Xuejiawu Fort, and settled and drove away the widow of the Xue family.

At two o'clock, more than 700 villagers rushed to the dock fort, and the villagers all had shocked and frightened expressions, and none of them dared to speak, and a woman holding a young child kept covering her hand to the little one's mouth, for fear that he would suddenly cry and annoy these people in front of him.

After the people were gathered, Zhufeng didn't talk nonsense, picked up a land sale contract directly from the box, and shouted loudly: "Wang Ergou!" ”

"Dad, don't go!" A crying female voice rang out from the crowd, and a narrow passage emerged from the crowd. At the end of the passage, a man in his thirties pushed aside a woman's pull and walked out of the crowd, holding his chest and watching the winds.

Zhu Feng deliberately stared at Wang Ergou coldly, but his eyes were not instantaneous, and he stared straight back.

Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing, gave Wang Ergou a thumbs up, first slowly showed the title deed in front of him, and then lit it on a torch.

The process of the flame devouring the land deed was also the process of Wang Ergou's expression changing greatly, his body trembled, his hands holding his chest hung down, and he looked at the wind in disbelief.

The title deed of the thin book was quickly burned out, and the winds gently threw the end of the title deed into the air, watching the last bit of paper turn black into embers and be blown away by the wind, only then did he point to Wang Ergou and said with a smile: "Brother, the land you planted will become your own in the future!" Now go and get the money, right? ”

Wang Ergou's lips trembled rapidly, and the person was stunned, unable to believe his ears, and his hand couldn't help but stretch out and twist it on his thigh.

Wang Ergou's expression of secretly baring his teeth fell into the eyes of Zhu Feng, grabbed Wang Ergou's shoulders, turned him to the soldiers guarding the pile of money, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is not a dream, it is true!" Hurry up and get the money! ”

Wang Ergou walked over as if sleepwalking, picked up a soldier and handed over a half-run copper coin. At this time, the woman squeezed out of the crowd, walked up to Wang Ergou, swiped the half-through copper coin with her hand, and looked at Zhufeng with surprise and joy.

Zhu Feng just wanted this effect, and immediately picked up another title deed and shouted: "Liu Qing! ”

This time, a middle-aged man rushed directly out of the crowd and ran in front of Zhufeng. Zhu Feng smiled slightly, lit the title deed, and then pointed to the pile of money.

Seeing that Liu Qing also got the land and money, the crowd was in a commotion and squeezed forward one after another!

"Be quiet for all!" The winds roared, their faces stiffened, and they drew their knives and strode towards the crowd, and the men immediately retreated in fright.

Zhu Feng drew a straight line on the ground in front of the crowd with his knife, then got up and said coldly: "Anyone who dares to cross this line without permission will be killed!" At the same time, he will be disqualified from receiving money from his family's territory! ”

This sentence was so lethal that the crowd immediately quieted down, not to mention moving, and there were no more people panting loudly.

Soon, the land deeds and leases in the boxes were all burned out, and some of the villagers who were not called also received half of the money, and the people were no longer afraid, and all looked at them excitedly.

Zhu Feng stood on top of a stone platform and shouted loudly: "We are the subordinates of Lord Lin Fenglin, the Assassin of Shouzhou of the Tang Dynasty and the Governor of the Central Capital, and we will liberate everyone together with the Han soldiers and Zhou soldiers!" ”

Shouzhou Lin Feng? There was a whisper of surprise in the crowd, now there are not many people in the world who have not heard of Lin Feng's name!

Zhu Feng and the others quieted down, and then raised their voices and said: "The land under our feet was planted by our ancestors for generations, not by the Xue family!" The money was earned by our blood and sweat, not by the Xue family! So, we give you back the land and money you deserve today! ”

At this point, the crowd no longer had any doubts, Wang Ergou pulled his daughter-in-law, knelt on the ground suddenly, and kowtowed heavily, and the others came to their senses and knelt down and kowtowed.

This time, the winds didn't reprimand them anymore, and the side of their bodies avoided the direction of their kowtows.

When the crowd stood up, Zhu Feng shouted loudly: "The person you want to thank should be Lord Lin Fenglin, not us!" This gratitude should be dedicated to Lord Lin! But our Lord Lin never likes people to kneel and worship, and I hope you will not kneel easily from now on!

Tell everyone that now, the Xue family has come to their senses, returned the land and money to everyone, all the men have committed suicide to apologize, and this dock fort has also been returned to everyone, and it has become everyone's property from now on! I suggest that this dock be used as a welfare home for widows, widows, loneliness, and wanderers in Guanwangmu Township, do you have any opinions? ”

A chill swept through the crowd, and although the winds were speaking lightly, everyone instantly felt that something terrible must have happened here! All the men of the Xue family committed suicide to apologize, can this be voluntary?

"Since everyone has no opinion, this matter has been decided! Now, the first important thing is that I want you to elect five high-prestige and enthusiastic villagers to come out and manage Guanwangmu Village on your behalf in the future! Zhu Feng directly applied Lin Feng's method of selecting street representatives in Shouzhou.

Soon, three old men and two middle-aged people were elected, and one old man tried his best to resign from the beginning when he was nominated, and finally knelt in front of Zhu Feng with a "plop" sound, but kowtowed and did not speak.

The winds lifted him up, turned to the crowd and shouted, "We won't force anyone! You can rest assured! Has anyone volunteered to be the representative of this villager? ”

"I'm coming!" Wang Ergou roared loudly, ripped off his daughter-in-law's hand, and walked out of the crowd.

"Good brother!" Zhu Feng praised and continued, "At the same time, please also elect three people who are fair and selfless in their daily affairs. ”

This time, the three villagers who were elected did not retreat, but looked at Zhufeng excitedly.

Zhu Feng pointed at these three people and shouted: "The three of them are the supervisory representatives of the villagers of Guan Wangmu from now on, and they have the right to raise objections to any unfair handling in the village, and ask everyone to discuss and decide!" ”

Subsequently, Zhufeng listed all the principles of villager autonomy that Lin Feng had engaged in in Anfengtang: the villagers' management representatives have the right to propose matters, but more than two-thirds of the villagers must openly discuss and decide on any major matters; Any collective matter, large or small, in the village must be made public, and the supervising representative has the right to examine any account at any time; Any villager has the right to raise objections to any deputy's violation of principles and interests, and as long as he obtains the consent of one-third of the villagers, he has the right to propose the convening of a general meeting of all villagers to propose the recall of a deputy......

Listening to the winds listed one by one, the faces of the people in the crowd were different, some were shocked, some were joyful, some were surprised, and some were afraid.

Wang Ergou asked directly and loudly: "Generals, what does this mean?" Who will be in charge of the village in the future? Is it not on our own? ”

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Of course it's you!" The villager representatives are only managing on behalf of all the villagers, and the real power lies with you! In the future, we will not force you to do anything you are not willing to do! ”

The crowd is completely boiling, is it all true?

"The principles just mentioned, everyone is here, and they can be openly discussed now, until there is no objection at the end, and then all the reputations are written down and published on the list, as the "Guanwangmu Villagers Convention". I suggest that you discuss by the way what kind of people to choose to come to the welfare center, and at the same time, consider whether to set up a militia organization to protect Guanwangmu Village! After Zhu Feng finished speaking loudly, he left this large group of people and walked to the Zhou soldiers who were also listening in a daze next to him.

Zhu Feng patted Zhao Minglun on the shoulder and said loudly: "Captain Zhao, how do you arrange today?" Anyway, it's already dawn, why don't we make breakfast first, and then visit a few big villages? ”

Zhao Minglun subconsciously shook his head, but immediately reacted and nodded again and again.

"At the beginning, it is a big question in the historical records that Zhufeng launched an earth-shaking self-government revolution in several villages in Guanwangmu Township in one day and one night, but what happened in Guanwangmu Township from the night of September 29 to September 30 was like a spark on the grassland in winter, which quickly spread the fire to the three prefectures of Jiangcixi, and even had an immeasurable impact and impact on the governance of the entire world. Here, it is estimated and called 'the change of Guan Wangmu'. ”
