The weather was so hot that it seemed as if a spark would cause an explosion. The sun was like fire, and the earth was like a steamer, so hot that people couldn't breathe. Walking on the road, the oncoming wind is like a heat wave. Early in the morning, the cicadas screamed loudly, telling people that another hot day had begun.

At noon, the sun was stronger, but there were still many old and young women and children in the fields staring at the scorching sun and doing farm work, and suddenly an old man fell, and the people around saw it and immediately went over and carried the old man to a shady place.

A five-year-old boy cried and shouted, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you, wake up quickly!" ”

The old man was pinched by a woman, and it took a while for him to wake up.

"Grandpa......," the child threw himself into the old man's arms and cried.

"Elder Zhang... If you're not in good health, don't work in the scorching sun. Your body can't stand it, and if you go too, who will take care of the dog. ”

"This year's drought is great, and our family only has our grandchildren, if I don't dry the fields and have no harvest, how can I feed my poor grandchildren." The old man's face showed endless sadness.

"We shouldn't have helped those families in the first place, we didn't do anything we promised before, and we deepened exploitation. If Mu Ji Zhou hadn't left, our days wouldn't have been so sad. ”

"Yes, when Ji Zhoumu was here, not only was the field tax exempted, but there was no poll tax. As a soldier, there is also a monthly service, and you can also go to work in the factory. Now the young man has been forcibly conscripted into the army, and not only is he not paid for the month, but he has to collect his poll tax from us. ”

"The field is not ours yet, at the beginning, Ji Zhou Mu gave us all the fields, as long as it was cultivated for three years, it belonged to us, and the first three years were only three percent of the land rent, and the one-year harvest was sold."

"At the beginning, it was only a few months before our lives changed, one meat for five days, and not only could we eat enough to go to work, but also one meat for three days."

"I wish they could come back and get these people out, so that we don't have to have such a hard time..."

"At the beginning, we chilled Ji Zhoumu's heart, and he was wholeheartedly for us, but what about us? Let your daughter seduce those alien soldiers, and then frame them for forcible captivity. We also helped shield the murderers and prevent the soldiers from coming to arrest them. ”

At this time, the people present all had a look of remorse, they listened to the words of those people, saying that they could get tax exemption for three years by helping the Han army to drive out the alien race and Jizhou Mu, because this is on the border and they are more hostile to the alien race, so they chose to believe in the Han Dynasty and thought that Jizhou Mu was a bad person.

But only now did they know that Ji Zhoumu was really for them and wanted them to live a good life. If Ji Zhoumu could rule here all the time, he wouldn't have to live so badly. The son was forcibly conscripted, either to help those families farm or to suppress bandits. He also snatched most of the books, papers, and money and food left by Ji Zhoumu before he left.

Now that bandits are rampant, the lives of the people are almost unbearable. They all hope that Ji Cheng can fight back and drive these vampires out.

……

It has been more than a year since he withdrew from the land of the four states, and after retreating from the land of the four states, Ji Cheng let the alien race attack westward, and in one year he took all the countries of the Western Regions, and the other team set off from the sea to take the Wa Kingdom and Yizhou as well.

Now Jicheng has let them recuperate, and a large amount of land has been cultivated to grow food, intending to continue the war after two years of cultivation.

Although he didn't want to fight with the Han and withdraw from the territory of the Han Dynasty, Ji Cheng didn't want these people to have a good time, so he arranged for those animals to attack the powerful children of the family, and funded the thieves to harass them.

But there is a premise that they are not allowed to plunder the people, and that they should help the people as much as possible. Being a thief in these years is also a last resort, if they don't have food to eat, they don't want to do this, they are all good families going up the mountain, so they have no objection to Ji Cheng's conditions. And most of them admired Ji Cheng from the bottom of their hearts, and they were convinced by Ji Cheng, and said that they were willing to fight for Ji Cheng and win the Han Dynasty.

Ji Cheng didn't agree, and sent some people to teach them to read and write, and teach them how to plan for the future. Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of thieves in Taihang Mountain, who come out from time to time to plunder the powerful families, and the extra grain is distributed to the people. And promote the reputation of Jicheng, so that more people know why Jicheng occupied the land of Sizhou in the first place.

The occupation of the four states is also to let the people be the masters of their own affairs, so that the people can live a good life, and the evacuation of the four states is also for the people, because once the war starts, it is the people who suffer. In addition, the people misunderstood Ji Cheng at the beginning, and they had to leave with Ji Cheng.

After understanding the whole story, the people did not have a good impression of the family, and more people joined them, so that many fields in the Han Dynasty were cultivated by five people.

Half of the original army of millions ran away, and they all chose to fall into the grass, and it was more difficult for the Han army to be exterminated with mutual cooperation.

Several of the leaders of the family gathered together, this time still with a sad face.

"Now we have to change our strategy, otherwise we will only be destroyed when he comes back."

"How to change? Zhao'an, those bandits? They all seem to have become admirers of that person, insisting on opposing us. Where do we put our face if we compromise it? ”

"It's not that you don't know what the situation is now, there are many fields and no one cultivates them, and the people are all gone, so what's the use of us asking for these fields?"

"Now all the mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack have been occupied, and the army we sent over is much worse than those thieves."

"It's not that it's worse than thieves, it's that our army has no intention of fighting and can't do anything. If you dare to use force, they will dare to rebel, how can this kind of army win. ”

"It's better to appease them first, and then Zhao'an will fulfill the promise and let some soldiers go home to farm and restore productivity."

"That's all it can be......"

In the end, the family had to compromise and let the court Zhao'an, these bandits, a small number of thieves accept Zhao'an, most of them are still unwilling, and in order to resume production, the court will not attack those bandits.

But I didn't know that this was all arranged by Ji Cheng behind his back, and the leaders of tens of thousands of thieves and bandits in the Han Dynasty were all from Ji Cheng, and those who accepted Zhao'an were also to better promote Ji Cheng's benevolence and righteousness.

Ji Cheng's benevolence and righteousness spread more widely, and many of the chiefs in the army were from Ji Cheng, because these people made Ji Cheng famous in the Western Regions and gained a lot of luck.

With these lucks, Ji Cheng's Soul Explorer can cover a larger area, there are more and more ghosts in the hell, and more importantly, the medicinal herbs planted before the hell have also matured. The construction of Hell has also been accelerated, and it is built exactly like the underworld.........
