Sheng Fu

a few days later.

The Hengchang army has set out, heading north, and their momentum is overwhelming wherever they go.

What many people did not expect was that many people in the states and counties along the way spontaneously organized themselves to send grain, oil, meat, and even many poor families sent eggs, which they regarded as treasures.

If this happened in previous years, it would not be surprising. However, nowadays, taxes have increased, and although people's lives are not so dire, they are indeed in a difficult situation.

It is not easy to win people's hearts and reach such a level.

On the road, two first-class spirit deer pulled the chariot. Inside the chariot was exquisite and elegant, full of glittering lights, and equipped with all kinds of fruits, snacks and collectibles. This was the tradition of the spirit race.

Zhong Yi and Yin Xuan were riding in the same car, and the scenery they saw on the road also opened their eyes.

They saw with their own eyes that many ragged people brought eggs and cabbages, and the scene was truly touching.

Zhong Yi sighed and said, "For a family to see such a scene, even if I have not accomplished anything, my life is worthwhile."

Yin Xuan said with a joking smile: "If I hadn't accomplished anything, I would never have seen such a scene."

Zhong Yi said: "That's right."

The two were very envious. Although there were many armies that won the hearts of the people throughout history, it was a different feeling after experiencing it firsthand.

At least Zhong Yi could proudly say that he was the head of the Dragon Guard under the Hengchang Sect.

Although the scene was promising, Zhang Benchu, Yan Zhao and Gao Zhi had been busy these days. Faced with many people who brought supplies, they had to roughly investigate the specific circumstances of each citizen, and then secretly put some change into the pockets of those poor people.

As for people like Guo Shenghe, Wu Mi, Yuan Chu, and Chi Hua, they have never really lived in the lower class world. They know that the common people in the lower class live in poverty, but it is difficult for them to understand how hard it is.

Only Zhang Benchu, Yan Zhao and Gao Zhi, who had experienced poverty and destitution, understood very well that there was a huge difference between having a few coins in the pocket of some ordinary people and having no coins at all.

Every time he secretly put some change into the pocket of some poor people, Zhang Benchu ​​would feel at ease.

It also made Zhang Benchu ​​deeply aware that in the next battle to attack the Divine Realm, he could only win and not lose.

Zhang Benchu ​​was under pressure. He had long been a rising star and was trusted by Yuwen Jun, but until now, he had not yet encountered the battle that would make him famous.

However, they had fought fierce, hard and desperate battles, and this kind of fighting method also resulted in the deaths of many Hengchang soldiers.

A battle to become famous requires strength and even more luck.

……

In the Imperial Palace, inside the Human Emperor’s Dojo.

Yuwen Jun and the Human Emperor sat opposite each other, seemingly without any difference between ruler and subject.

When he first met Yuwen Jun, the Emperor felt that he disliked Yuwen Jun a little bit. As to why he disliked him, the Emperor himself could not say. But when he saw Yuwen Jun now, his eyes were gentle, as if he was looking at one of his juniors.

After Gu Yong's death, the Emperor really felt a sense of love for Yuwen Jun.

Outside the dojo, ten figures with armor covering their faces stood shoulder to shoulder. Their postures were so majestic that they could be described as towering over the heavens.

This was also the first time that Yu Wenjun led the powerful warriors to attack the territory of another country.

In this battle, the world is full of expectations for the first of the eight leaders of this era.

Some people have even spread the word in advance that the next battle will definitely cross the Chenmang Mountains and capture Haomiao City.

Regarding these voices, Yu Wenjun could only pretend that he heard nothing.

"I never thought that I would rely on a young man like you." The Human Emperor said bitterly.

Yu Wenjun pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty actually relies on Yinglong. Whether you can break the situation depends entirely on the Wuji strongman."

"And this battle, the first one will be the decisive one." "The Divine Emperor is seriously injured, but there are still many heroes in the Divine Realm who will never let us take over Haomiao City."

"Your Majesty, I may not be able to protect these ten Wuji masters."

Upon hearing this, the Human Emperor smiled calmly and said, "If they can't protect it, I think Yinglong under your command won't be able to protect it either."

"I will be here, waiting for your triumphant return."

Yu Wenjun stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "I'll take my leave now."

At this point, Yuwen Jun set off with ten Wuji powerful men.

……

Qiu Shui County, inside the county magistrate’s mansion.

Meng Huai and Zong Liang have been very busy in recent days. They have finally dealt with all the old cases in Qiu Shui County. Anyway, there are only two landlords left.

The rest were all beheaded.

In every era, the old trick of powerful people annexing land will happen.

A total of 1,200 people were beheaded in the past few days, all of them were evildoers who had committed unforgivable crimes.

The people of Qiu Shui County also gained stability. What made Zong Liang and Meng Huai feel a little relieved was that many people who originally had personal grudges put aside their prejudices against each other after witnessing the scene of the execution with their own eyes. Although they were not respectful to each other, they were relieved.

Compared with the crime of beheading, personal grudges are nothing.

But there were still dozens of people who signed life and death agreements and went to the arena built by Liu Qinghua. Today was the first day of fighting, and it was hard to say whether anyone would be killed.

Not many people went to watch, because most of the people knew that they would select talented people in Qiu Shui County. Many young and strong people wanted to show their faces in front of the officials and leave a good impression to see if they could get an official position.

Many ignorant old people also clearly realized that Qiu Shui County was really about to usher in a new era. At first, they naturally did not believe the news released by the government and thought it was a joke.

It has to be said that after many evil people were beheaded, Meng Huai and Zong Liang also won the hearts of the people. At least some people believed what they said, and some even followed them blindly.

However, it is impossible to obtain an official position by being clever. Everything must be tested.

In a temporary residence not far from the arena.

Liu Qinghua never left the house, too lazy to watch the bloody scenes.

The life-and-death struggle among the poor people is heartbreaking to watch. They are all miserable people. Sometimes, why make things difficult for them? But sometimes, if you don't let out your anger, your life will not be smooth.

Liu Qinghua had just closed his eyes to rest when Meng Huai came.

"Have the tents in that pasture been set up?" Liu Qinghua asked with his eyes closed.

Meng Huai responded, "We are relocating them. However, after the exam is over, the people of Qiushui County will not be able to leave for a while. Some of the people's graves need to be moved, which is a troublesome matter."

"I have discussed with Lord Zong Liang and have decided to clearly divide the land for the people of Qiushui County to live in, and then let them move into the ranch temporarily. If the property is not clearly divided among the people, they will not feel at ease."

Liu Qinghua then opened his eyes and said, "Yes, I know there are many things that are troublesome, but I didn't know it would be this troublesome."

"Do the people now understand that all the houses in Qiushui County will be razed to the ground?"

Meng Huai replied: "Some of the people have guessed it, and some rumors have spread. However, Lord Zong Liang and I have not officially informed the people yet. We can only wait until the exam is over and use the mouths of local talents in Qiushui County to tell them these things. Because if this matter comes out of our mouths, it may provoke a civil uprising. There will always be people who are reluctant to give up their shabby and barren land."

Liu Qinghua said softly: "Well, let's do this. Try to minimize the possibility of the unruly people being greedy for favors."

Meng Huai bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to the name of Hengchang!" (End of this chapter)
