Chen Mu was thinking about it when he saw a person walking over the wall.

This is a middle-aged man, who looks like a perennial farmer, but there is a leader temperament between his eyebrows, and his face is full of sadness.

The man looked at the military array and shouted, "Is it His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Chen Mu replied: "Exactly! ”

"Who are you? To rebel and lead the people? ”

The man sighed, his tone annoyed and slightly tired: "You ask me why I rebelled, why don't you see what you have done!" You have left us all with nowhere to go and no home, so how can we not find a way to make a living for ourselves! ”

These words were all complaints, but Chen Mu heard a few traces of desolation from them, and he said: "Now that the policy has changed, why don't you try to petition?" ”

"If I don't speak your mind, how can I know where your suffering comes from?"

Hearing this, the man was stunned.

At the time of their rebellion, policy change had not yet become widespread, and now it has been irretrievably reined into.

But hearing Chen Mu talk to him so calmly, maybe there is still a chance!

The man hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind and said, "Your Highness, the grass people will speak out!" I was originally the village chief of Fufu Village in Dongsu County, and I was forced to lead the people to rebel, but I was really forced to do nothing! ”

"Dongsu County was originally mainly farming, and the whole village of Fufu Village was farming. In the past, we couldn't run out of food, so we could sell it elsewhere. ”

"But now, the rice in the Northeast is cheap and delicious, and it can completely fill the stomach, and those who want to improve their lives will also choose the grain and vegetables of Fanbang."

"But our land here is only suitable for growing millet, and now there is no market at all."

When the village chief said this, the people around him also bowed their heads silently. How miserable such days are, only they themselves know.

Chen Mu was stunned and asked: "Now that the business of Daxia is very developed, you can live by making some handicrafts and selling some snacks, but if you can't do it, you can still work for others, why do you have to rebel?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the village chief immediately said indignantly: "It's not that we didn't go to work, but the wages given by those owners are too small, only enough for one person, and we all have to support the family." ”

Chen Mu asked again: "Now women can also go out to work, even women are allowed to participate in the imperial examination, is there still discrimination against women when they go out to work?" ”

The village chief sighed again.

"Hey—it's harder for women to find owners when they go out to work."

Chen Mu stopped talking.

This world is like this, if there are many workers and few employers, those rich people will definitely find ways to exploit the workers.

Although transportation and communication are much easier now with trains and preliminary telephones, it is impossible for the government to control the bosses of the whole country.

We can only use policies to guide them, and use interests to drive them to do things consciously.

But now, how to solve the problem of this group of people?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Chen Mu's mind, and he suddenly thought of something that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"If Great Xia really doesn't have a chance, why don't you go to a neighboring country?"

The village chief was stunned, "Neighboring countries? This ......"

He turned his head to look at the rebel leaders next to him, and saw that all of them had similar expressions.

Looking at their reactions, Chen Mu smiled.

"I know that there are a lot of people who don't want to leave their homes. But I've been away for a long time, so I know the subtleties of it. ”

"Walk all over the world, appreciate exotic customs, see all kinds of things in the world, lead troops to fight, and promote the prestige of my Great Xia."

"Isn't that nice?"

After listening to Chen Mu's words, the expressions of the village chief and the others were very embarrassed.

Can they be the same as the prince who leads the troops?

This prince is all whimsical.

Chen Mu smiled slightly and continued: "Now that the Great Xia country is strong, and the surrounding countries are all our subject countries, after you go, you will definitely be respected by the locals. ”

"As far as I know, the merchants of Great Xia now have a very high status in Fanbang, and even the local officials have to greet each other with courtesy."

The village chief and the others looked at each other, and after listening to Chen Mu's words, their expressions had changed.

That's right, we're the people of a strong country, and we're superior over there.

Those Fanbang vassal countries, to put it bluntly, are children's countries.

Anyway, we don't like it here, so we might as well be dad over there!

It's just that......

Chen Mu saw that it was almost over, and said his decision with a smile.

"Although your actions are indeed rebellion, it is also due to the negligence of the Great Xia court. If the problems of the peasants had been discovered and solved earlier, you would not have rebelled, would you? ”

The village chief hurriedly saluted and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, we are indeed forced to do so." ”

Chen Mu immediately asked all his subordinates to stop and said, "Well, but if you are not punished, it will indeed be difficult to convince the public." That's why I decided to exile you and your family to Donghu to reclaim the wasteland. ”

"The food and tools you have stolen from the treasury will be counted as the supplies sent to you by the imperial court. In addition, if you need seeds, farm tools, etc., the imperial court will also provide them. ”

"As for Donghu's side, I'll send someone to inform you."

Where is this punishment, it's a reward!

When the people in the city heard Chen Mu's decision, they were all overjoyed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"

"He didn't care about our rebellion and gave us something back."

"Great! When we get to Donghu, we can farm again! ”

Chen Mu smiled and said: "Donghu people are not good at farming, there are large areas of wasteland waiting for you to reclaim, you like to go into the mountains to hunt, cut wood or something. ”

"I will let the Donghu Imperial Court give priority to buying your things."

Hearing this, the village chief was already in tears, he asked someone to open the gate of the village, and knelt on the ground with several leaders and kept kowtowing.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very gracious! It's like reinvention! ”

"I'm waiting for a tooth to be unforgettable!"

Chen Mu nodded, personally helped everyone up, narrowed the distance between them, and comforted: "Okay, after you arrive in Donghu, don't fall into the majesty of Great Xia, even if you repay me." ”

Several leaders thanked them again, and then called all the people in the village to come out and surrender.

A peasant uprising of thousands of people ended cleanly. There were no casualties, except for hundreds of people who were shot in the shoulder.

Chen Mu sent people to treat everyone and used the best medical equipment.

Fortunately, the losses were minimized, and he was relieved.

Chen Mu finished dealing with the matter here, and then asked the officials in the Dongyuan region to prepare the materials for clearing the wasteland.

When the peasants packed up their things, Chen Mu would personally lead the troops to escort them to Donghu.

By the way, tell me about this matter with the Donghu court.

Of course, it was impossible for Donghu to refuse Chen Mu.
