Chapter Twenty-Three: Eating the pot pulp to welcome the king

The cherry blossoms are blooming, and the white clothes and red dresses are waiting for you to come.

This poem at this moment does not describe the deep girl who is just beginning to fall in love, but the farmers who border the Youzhou region and other states and counties facing the loess with their backs to the sky.

When the situation in Youzhou was confirmed by these farmers, they were all red-eyed, and they were all looking forward to the Taiping Dao coming to liberate them, just like the girl in the poem, looking forward to it!

But after waiting for a long time, the Taiping Road in Youzhou did not have the slightest intention of expansion.

Start in Youzhou and end in Youzhou!

In fact, earlier, when the grand occasion of Youzhou came here, they didn't believe it, how could anyone be a tenant and get seventy percent of the grain? The fields are also distributed according to the head, so don't you have to go hungry in the future?

They all have a most simple wish, that is, not to go hungry, but the reason why a wish is a wish is because it is basically impossible to do it.

But later, when they found out that this was true, this group of honest peasants suddenly couldn't sit still.

waited and waited, but couldn't wait for the arrival of Taiping Dao, and had the courage to go to Youzhou to ask about the situation, but the reply I got was that Taiping Dao only preached in Youzhou for the time being, and would not cross the line!

Such a reply made many people choose to leave their hometowns and flee to Youzhou.

In the face of these displaced people, Taiping Dao did not drive them away, but chose to collect them all.

This activated the flow of population in the surrounding areas, and dozens of villages bordering Youzhou directly became uninhabited villages, and they all went to Youzhou to settle down.

This situation made the landlords and squires look stupid, and they were at first worried that the thieves from Taiping Road would come and embroach their property, and they were relieved when they knew that they would not come, but more and more tenants fled to Youzhou, which made them anxious again.

It's the opposite!

This group of tenants does not farm, so what do they, the landlords and gentry, eat? With what? How else to enjoy life?

If no one cultivates a field, it is not a field, it is just ordinary land.

In order to prevent this phenomenon of population loss, officials in several prefectures and counties bordering Youzhou began to strictly prohibit farmers from leaving their villages, and if caught, they were summarily killed!

In addition, if a fellow villager discovers that someone has fled and does not report to the official, he will be dealt with according to the same crime!

On the contrary, if you report it, it is meritorious!

Under this high-pressure policy, the farmers are at risk, and the number of uprooted people is much less, and everything seems to be back under control.

But it's just seeming.

Jizhou, Hejian Country, Lecheng County, Taoren Village.

At this moment, a large group of people gathered in the ancestral hall of the village for sacrifice, and this group of people was plotting a big thing, they wanted to follow the Taiping Road, raise the banner of righteousness, kill the landlord, and divide the land!

"I have already bought off the Liu family's stewards and their family guards, as long as we act decisively, we can deal with everything before the officers and soldiers arrive!" At the head was a man with a turban, who sat in the middle of the crowd and announced his plan.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in a little commotion, although they had known about this plan for a long time, but when it came time to really put it into action, there would still be people who were afraid.

Someone on the side hesitated and said: "Even if we succeed, what if an officer or soldier comes and hangs us as thieves?" It is said that the Liu family has a blood relationship with the emperor's relatives! ”

"How many times have I said it, are the relatives who can't be beaten by the eight poles also called the relatives of the emperor?" The cropper man with a turban snorted coldly and said viciously: "His Liu family has bullied our Taoren Village for so many years, and how many girls have ruined us, have you forgotten?" ”

"As for the officers and soldiers, although we are not opponents, as long as we report the name of Taiping Dao, they will never dare to make a move!"

"Don't be afraid! Those officers and soldiers, one by one, are greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

"As long as we say that we are Taiping Dao, do they dare to find Taiping Dao to confirm it?"

"Follow the Taiping Road, kill the landlord, divide the land, and everyone will live a good life, just today!"

"Get ready to do it!"

After having no choice but to leave their homeland and flee to Youzhou, these farmers are like rabbits who have been cornered.

If the rabbit is in a hurry, it will bite too!

This is not just the case in one village.

Dozens of peasants raised the banner of rebellion, killed the landlord in the name of Taiping Dao, divided all the fields, and as for the money and grain, they took out some of it, and most of it was sealed up, waiting for Taiping Dao to come and accept them!

And the officers and soldiers really didn't dare to touch them, for fear of angering the Taipingdao.

For a time, the landlords in Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou were in a state of rumour, for fear that the tenants below would follow the Taiping Road and slaughter them to divide the land.

Not to mention, this is really effective, and the peasants at the bottom are often the kind of people who will never rebel as long as they have a bite to eat.

Meanwhile.

Youzhou native.

In a Taoist temple.

Su Che sat in the first place, followed by Yu Ji, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao, Ma Liang, Zhang Xiang, and Gongsun Xia......

Today's Taiping Dao can be described as full of talents, these people may be unknown in history, but they have good talents, but they have no chance to show their talents.

There are too many talents in the world, and not every one of them has the opportunity to show their strength and leave a name in history.

At this moment, Ma Liang was reporting to Su Che the good news from all parts of Youzhou, as well as the situation in other states and counties bordering Youzhou.

When he heard the good news, Su Che was in a good mood.

Especially when they heard that the peasants in the next state and county followed their example, slaughtered the landlord, divided the fields, sealed the money and grain, and waited for his arrival.

Su Che couldn't help laughing, he looked left and right, and said, "This is the pot pulp to welcome the king?" ”

"So to speak." Yu Ji smiled and nodded.

"Big brother, why don't we take advantage of the situation to annex Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Merge Prefecture?" Zhang Liang shouted.

"I don't think so, the land of one state is enough for us to digest slowly, if we forcibly annex Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Merge Prefecture, we may be able to eat it, but it will definitely cause a backlash from the imperial court, and the situation will be at a stalemate at that time." Gongsun Xia shook his head and said.

"Yes, it's still too early to annex Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Merge Prefecture! Slowly Tuzhi is the best choice! Ma Liang also nodded and said.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang pursed his lips a little unwillingly.

Today's Taiping Dao, after more talents joined, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, because their talents were very limited, although Su Che gave them a high enough position, he did not give them high enough rights.

After all, they are brothers, with high positions and light power, and it is enough to train them to grow up slowly.

At this moment, a person broke in directly and hurriedly said, "General Tiangong! There is an urgent report! ”

"Say." Su Che said lightly.

"The county guards of the eleven counties of Youzhou, as well as the county orders of the ninety counties, went to Beijing to report in a blood letter, and they wanted to bypass the ten permanent servants, go straight to the heavens, and sue us for Taiping!" This person is Guo Ping, who is under Su Che, and he is very anxious at the moment: "Although I have prevented the joint signing of seven blood books, it is said that there are still ten blood books!" Hurry up, I'm afraid I've already left Youzhou at this moment! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly changed, and only Su Che's face remained the same.
