Chapter Eighty-Four: Meet Xiao Ke Again
When the village chief heard Huan Chang's words, he smiled bitterly and said something. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"All the fields that can be cultivated already have owners, and the government has no extra land to distribute to us, so we can only come and reclaim the wasteland by ourselves. ”
"However, the government compensated us by not only exempting us from taxes for five years, but also giving us seeds and food for the first year. ”
The vast majority of the rich fields in the Song Kingdom were occupied by nobles and powerful people, even in the territory of the sect.
Of course, the common people also own land, but most of it is relatively poor.
The people live on food.
Although farming cannot be rich and expensive, the traditional concept of the Kyushu people still measures people's social status by the amount of land they own.
As a result, most of the fields that have been exploited are occupied by the powerful and wealthy.
It was very difficult for these freed slaves to obtain land, and even the government could not confiscate large fields for slaves to cultivate.
However, the denial of land to the freed slaves did not meet the requirements of the new law, and the government had no choice but to send the slaves to inaccessible places to cultivate the land themselves.
Since the development of Kyushu, the fields with good geographical location and easy to cultivate have basically been reclaimed, and there are no places that have been reclaimed now, so it is naturally a remote mountainous area.
Huan Chang's mind turned sharply, and he also figured out the key, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart.
There are many problems that the Song State is encountering now, and land annexation is also a very serious matter, but Huan Chang is self-aware and knows that he must not deal with this kind of problem now.
Otherwise, the entire Song clan may be subverted.
"Unexpectedly, although the general promulgated a new law to restore your freedom, when the time came, he did not settle you. ”
When he said this, Huan Chang felt a little guilty in his heart, and he was a little discouraged.
At first, Huan Chang was full of enthusiasm and started to change the law in the Song Kingdom, but now he found that the change was much more difficult than his own phenomenon.
"Shaoxia, although I respect you for saving our villagers, you can't say anything disrespectful to the general. ”
Just when Huan Chang was secretly sighing, he suddenly heard the sound of the thin monkey being unkind, and immediately felt a little stunned.
The village chief also hurriedly said: "Shaoxia's words are wrong, changing the law is not something that can be achieved in a day, it needs to be improved for a long time. ”
"Although there are still some flaws in the new law, and many laws and regulations cannot really be implemented, we have confidence in the general, and firmly believe that the law change will succeed sooner or later, and our Song Kingdom will become stronger and stronger. ”
"The general is dedicated to the country, and many laws and regulations are of great benefit to the people, it is a policy to enrich the country and strengthen the people, and the general's recruitment of talents has also given all the poor people a chance to get ahead, and we naturally sincerely admire it. ”
"Since Shaoxia's martial arts are so strong, why don't you go to the capital to join the general, you can not only win a good future, but also serve the country. ”
The thin monkey and the village chief's slightly reproachful words made Huan Chang feel a warm current in his heart.
Since the promulgation of the new law, Huan Chang has received strong pressure from all sides, and even many people who have benefited from the new law have complained about Huan Chang.
This couldn't help but make Huan Chang, who was still young, feel quite tired in his heart, and many times even secretly asked himself whether it was worth it to be so desperate.
But today, when he heard the words of the thin monkey and the village chief about his maintenance, Huan Chang felt that what he had done was not in vain after all.
"One day, the people of China will know the benefits of the new law. ”
Huan Chang's eyes became more and more intense, and the gloom in his heart was also swept away.
For the next three days, Huan Chang stayed in the slave village, not only helping the villagers to sweep away the beasts in the vicinity, but also talking to many villagers to find out what these people really needed.
Although he only stayed here for three days, Huan Chang had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and it was not until the early morning of the fourth day that he took advantage of the rest of everyone to say goodbye.
In this way, Huan often rode on Xiao Hei's back, wandering slowly and incognito, knowing many people's views on the new law.
Three months have passed in a flash, and the weather is getting warmer.
The unknown wildflowers on the roadside exude a refreshing fragrance, butterflies, dragonflies, and bees flutter happily, and the land is full of life.
On the official road, Huan Chang, who was dressed in white, already had a beard on his cheeks, and he looked a lot more mature.
"The front is the Songshan faction. ”
Huan Chang rode on the back of Xiao Hei, looked up at the sky, and faintly saw the peaks stacked on top of each other, and his heart suddenly became hot.
The Songshan faction is one of the top sects in Kyushu, but it does not occupy the city like many small sects and cede the land to stand on its own.
On the contrary, the Songshan Sect was similar to the Cold Ice Sword Sect of the Zhao State, basically only occupying the mountains where the sect was located, and most of the sect's disciples were hidden in the sect to cultivate.
Rao is like this, the Songshan faction covers an area that is still not small, and the mountains within a radius of 60 kilometers basically belong to the private industry of the Songshan faction.
Here, apart from the necessary bazaars and villages, no one from any other force dared to enter.
"There are thirty-six peaks in the Songshan faction, and there are countless masters in the sect, and the place where Brother Chengcheng retreats is the first peak, Qingyang Peak, it should be right to go in this direction. ”
Huan Chang rode the donkey forward, and it didn't take long for him to cross the mountains and come to the bottom of a towering mountain.
Although the mountains are surrounded by mountains, the foot of the mountain is bustling with all kinds of people passing through it.
After running around for a long time, he came to the crowd gathering place, and Huan Chang was not in a hurry to enter the Songshan faction, but was ready to go to the restaurant to rest first, and order some wine and food by the way.
After finding someone to find out the location of the restaurant, Huan Chang took Xiao Hei to the restaurant.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, Xiaobai, where are you. ”
Huan Chang was in a hurry when he suddenly heard a crisp voice.
This voice was still somewhat familiar, but Huan Chang didn't remember for a while where he had heard this sound before.
"Ritsu!"
It's just that after Xiao Hei heard this voice, he suddenly shouted excitedly, and then he didn't care about Huan Chang, and rushed directly in the direction of the sound.
"Blackie!"
Huan Chang watched the little black lightning disappear, and immediately shouted, and then chased after him with light skills.
"Hey, that's!"
Just after chasing for a short distance, Huan Chang saw Xiao Hei circling around a woman, and a happy hiss came out of his mouth.
"You, are you Huan Shaoxia?"
The woman was naturally very happy when she met Xiao Hei in a strange place, and then when she saw Huan Chang rushing over, her pretty face suddenly showed a look of joy.
However, Huan Chang could still see the anxiety on the woman's face that had not been completely contained.
"Are you, Senior Sister Xiaoke?"
