"Since there is a wrong, then we must avenge the people!" Zhu Yiyuan said to Jiang Qi: "Please also ask Mr. Jiang to supervise, I still have some things to deal with." ”

Zhu Yiyuan turned around and left, he did have too many things, but the most important thing was that there was an example of a warden, which was enough.

Jiang Qi has been in Zichuan for twenty or thirty years, he is enough to deal with these things, and Zhu Yiyuan is gone, and he can avoid a little embarrassment.

No, when Yang Bang was killed, people said about Jiang Qi's gift, what kind of good thing do you think you are?

Jiang Qi pressed his teeth and gritted his teeth, "My matter, I will naturally ask Du Si for the guilt, but you are dying, kill me!" ”

With a sound of killing, the chief bookkeeper, the warden, the six-room scrivener, the treasurer, and the tax collector of Zichuan County all let Jiang Qi kill them all over again...... In addition to them, there were more than a dozen gentry, who took the lead in defecting to the Qing court, and their sins were heinous, and they were all beheaded.

Blood stained the cross streets, and finally those wealthy merchants who colluded with the Qing court were also found out, until finally, a businessman named Pu Pan was escorted over.

At this time, the people present stood up one after another to avenge his grievances.

Having dealt with so many people, I have seen the people stand up and accuse and ask for guilt, but I have not seen so many people come out together to plead, this Pu Pan is really interesting.

It turned out that he was a wealthy merchant in Zichuan City, and his family had a lot of wealth in his early years, but he did not have a child until he was forty years old. This didn't know which way the immortal asked, so he decided to scatter all his wealth and help the people.

Therefore, for several years, the Pu family has not stopped giving porridge, and every winter, they also send cotton clothes, not only the people of Zichuan, but also the displaced people from other places, but also get his benefits.

And the amazing thing is that he did this, and he really added a son to himself, and gave birth to four in one go, the third in his family, named Pu Songling, is six years old this year, if nothing else, he will write a collection of novels that will be passed on to future generations: "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

When it came to the head of the Pu family, Jiang Qi had to stop and hurry up to report to Zhu Yiyuan.

When he arrived, everyone was there, and after Zhu Yiyuan heard what he said, he nodded with a smile, "We eradicate rape and eliminate evil, not indiscriminately killing innocents, a righteous businessman like the Pu family, not only can't kill, but also find a way to make friends with them and do business." ”

After Zhu Yiyuan finished speaking, he asked Jiang Qi to sit down again.

"It just so happens that Mr. Jiang is here, so let's listen to our discussion and see what to do next."

Jiang Qi was not qualified in the past, this is because things have been done beautifully, his status has been improved, and he is still a little relieved.

As soon as he sat down, Zhu Yiyuan's uncle Ye Tinglan said: "Nephew, you see that Jiang Prison also said that eradicating corrupt officials and corrupt officials has won the hearts of the people, and the people applauded. We took the opportunity to open a warehouse to release grain, collect people's hearts, Zichuan County is ours, the land of Shandong, and there is a piece of land belonging to the Ming Dynasty, which is really a happy event and worth celebrating. ”

When Zhu Yiyuan heard his uncle's words, he was not very happy, but said: "What do you think, do you think so too?" ”

Liu Baodao: "Zhu Gongzi, can you still spit out this meat that reaches your mouth?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Qiye said: "Just now in the bluestone set threshing floor, Zhu Gongzi said that we want to be based in the countryside, have you forgotten?" ”

Liu Bao was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "I, I haven't forgotten, but the bluestone set is so small, and it can't be used, where is Zichuan County?" ”

Hearing his words, Zhu Yiyuan was not surprised, and it could even be said that it was expected.

"I asked the big guys to come over, just to take the opportunity to discuss a question, what are the advantages and disadvantages between the county and the countryside?"

Ye Tinglan took the lead and said: "Big nephew, the countryside is far away from the hustle and bustle, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it is a good place to live in seclusion." But when it comes to fighting the world, you can't do without the city. Like Han Gaozu, it was to occupy Bashu, our Hongwu Emperor, that was also to occupy Jinling, to achieve a great cause. Although Zichuan County is a little smaller, it is still much stronger than Qingshi Ji. ”

Zhu Yiyuan smiled indifferently, "Indeed, the county town has strong walls that can resist the enemy, there are many people and materials in the city, and all walks of life, including craftsmen, are far better than the countryside." It's just that there are thousands of benefits in the city, and there is one thing that is the most fatal, the city is here, and you can't move away or run away. Once the Qing army besieges us and traps us in the city, there is only one way to die, and there is no way to escape. No matter how strong the city is, there will be a day when it falls, and to defend the city is to sit and wait for death. ”

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, this is reasonable, the Qing army is too strong at the moment, trapped in a lonely city, except for the defeat of the city and the annihilation of the whole army, there will be no second result.

Ye Tinglan frowned and said, "I said eldest nephew, it's not okay to defend the city, but it's not in the city, where are we going?" Go to the village? With all due respect, the current Qingshiji can't withstand the attack of the Qing army, and it is far inferior to Zichuan County, which can last for a while longer. ”

Zhu Yiyuan still smiled, and said calmly: "Uncle, one bluestone set is not good, but what will happen if the bluestone set plus Dazhuang Village, Pujia Village, and Yuanshan Village, dozens or hundreds of villages are combined and connected together?" ”

Ye Tinglan still didn't think clearly, and simply said: "Big nephew, you just say it directly, don't guess the riddle." ”

Zhu Yiyuan said solemnly: "Everyone says that the county seat is good, but where does the labor in the county come from? Where does the food come from? Where does the cloth and firewood come from? It didn't fall from the sky, did it? ”

Faced with the question, Tan Qiye suddenly thought of something, and he said in a low voice: "It's all from the countryside, Zhu Gongzi, I understand, that's why you said you wanted to base yourself in the countryside that day?" ”

The seventh master couldn't help rubbing his hands and sighed: "Originally, Gongzi only said that we could get food for the soldiers, but now it seems that it is indeed a wonderful strategy to cut off the food of the Qing court, and Gongzi is clever." ”

Ye Tinglan still frowned, "Although this is good, as far as I know, the situation of each village is different, and if you want to connect these villages together, I am afraid it is more difficult than ascending to the sky." ”

At this time, Father Zhu suddenly said quietly: "Raising troops in Shandong, rebelling under the noses of the Tartars is a matter of ascending to the sky...... You, who are an uncle, still use your brains more, how to solve difficulties, don't always do this, that doesn't work, I don't like to listen. ”

Ye Tinglan was said to have a fever on her face, and she couldn't help lowering her head.

Zhu Yiyuan smiled generously instead: "When the big guy discusses things, he must dare to speak." Indeed, it is very difficult to unite the villages. Therefore, we must conform to the people's feelings and solve the common problems of the people. This time, we occupied the county seat of Zichuan, obtained the fish scale book and the yellow book of the past years, and confiscated many large gentry, and got the land in their hands, just about to return to the countryside, distribute the land to the people, win the support of the villagers, and gain a firm foothold first. ”

Old man Pang Qing grabbed his beard and suddenly said: "This is what Gongzi said that day, to inherit King Chuang's Juntian proposition, right?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan smiled: "Old Pang, what do you think?" ”

Pang Qing laughed, "Don't look at me I'm almost sixty, I can still fight hard for the field." ”

Zhu Yiyuan nodded again and again, "Indeed, acres of land are the root of life." We will not only give the land to the common people, but also abolish the taxes owed by the people over the years, the money borrowed from the people, and all kinds of chaotic and excesses and miscellaneous taxes, in short, so that every common people can live. ”

Old Man Pang thought for a while, clapped his hands and smiled: "Master Zhu, if we can really do this, the old man thinks that we may really be able to overthrow the Qing court." ”

Father Zhu was happy, "Since that's the case, let's hurry up." ”

Zhu Yiyuan smiled, "Don't be busy yet, Tian must be divided, and we can't let people go...... I've already seen that there are many homeless people in Zichuan County. Immediately put up a notice telling everyone that anyone who is willing to go with us can get a piece of land, and if the family moves, they can also get a homestead and settle down. ”

The big guys nodded, "Let's do it." ”

When the notice was posted, it didn't take long for thousands of displaced people to gather over, they were poorly clothed, hungry, and useless.

No one knows, tomorrow or death, which will come first.

"As long as we are given the field and let us live, even if we go up the knife mountain and get off the oil pot, we are not afraid."
