Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 428 Meeting Xiaoke Again
When the village chief heard Huan Chang's words, he smiled wryly and said something.

"All the fields that can be reclaimed already have owners. The government doesn't have any extra fields to give us, so we can only let us come and reclaim wasteland by ourselves."

"However, the government has compensated, not only exempting the tax for five years, but also giving us seeds and grain for the first year."

Most of the rich fields in the Song Kingdom were occupied by nobles and powerful people, even in the Zongmen territory.

Of course, the common people also own fields, but most of them are relatively barren fields.

People eat for food.

Although farming can't make you rich and powerful, in the traditional concept of Kyushu people, people's social status is still measured by the amount of land they own.

This also means that most of the fields that have been developed are occupied by people with power and money.

It was very difficult for these freed slaves to obtain land, and even the government could not confiscate the land of large households and hand it over to the slaves for farming.

However, not distributing land to the freed slaves did not meet the requirements of the new law. The officials had no choice but to send these slaves to inaccessible places to reclaim the land by themselves.

Since the development of Kyushu, the fields with good geographical location and easy to reclaim have basically been reclaimed. There are still no reclaimed places, which are naturally remote mountainous areas.

Huan Chang's thoughts changed suddenly, and he also figured out the key point, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart.

The state of Song is facing many problems now, and land annexation is also a very serious matter, but Huan Chang has self-knowledge and knows that this kind of problem must not be dealt with now.

Otherwise, the entire Song clan might be subverted.

"Unexpectedly, although the general promulgated a new law to restore your freedom, but when things came to an end, he didn't arrange you well."

When he said this, Huan Chang felt a little guilty and a little discouraged.

At first, Huan Chang embarked on the reform of the Song Dynasty with full enthusiasm, but it was only now that he realized that the reform was much more difficult than what he thought.

"Young man, although I respect you for saving the people in our village, you can't say anything disrespectful to the general."

Just when Huan Chang was secretly sighing, he suddenly heard the thin monkey's unfriendly voice, and he felt a little stunned immediately.

The village chief also hurriedly said: "Young hero's words are wrong. The reform cannot be achieved in a day, and it needs a long period of time to improve."

"Although the new law still has some flaws, and many laws and regulations cannot be implemented yet, we have confidence in the general. We firmly believe that the reform will succeed sooner or later, and our country of Song will become stronger and stronger."

"The general is dedicated to the country, and many laws are of great benefit to the people. It is a strategy to enrich the country and strengthen the people. Moreover, the general recruits talents and gives all poor people a chance to succeed. I naturally admire him sincerely. "

"Since the young hero is so strong in martial arts, why don't you go to the capital and join the general. You can win a good future and serve the country."

The slightly reproachful words of the thin monkey and the village chief made Huanchang 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 criticized Huan Chang.

This can't help but make Huan Chang, who is still young, feel quite tired in his heart, and often even asks himself secretly whether it is worthwhile to be so desperate.

But today, after hearing the words of defense from the thin monkey and the village chief, Huan Chang felt that what he had done was not in vain after all.

"One day, the people in the country will know the benefits of the new law."

The look in 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 this village made up of slaves. He not only helped the villagers clean up the surrounding beasts, but also chatted with many villagers and learned what these people really needed.

Although he only stayed here for three short days, Huan Chang felt a sense of enlightenment, and he didn't leave without saying goodbye until the early morning of the fourth day when everyone was resting.

In this way, Huan Chang rode on Xiao Hei's back, wandering around the territory of Song State incognito, knowing many people's views on the new law.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather was getting warmer and warmer.

The unknown wild flowers on the roadside exude a refreshing aroma, butterflies, dragonflies, and bees are flying happily, and the earth shows a vibrant scene.

On the official road, Huan Chang, who was dressed in white, had grown a beard on his cheeks, and looked a lot more mature.

"In front is the Songshan School."

Huan Chang rode on Xiao Hei's back, raised his head and looked towards the sky, and faintly saw the mountain peaks, his heart suddenly became hot.

The Songshan sect is one of the top sects in Kyushu, but it didn't occupy the city like many small sects, and cede land to stand on their own.

On the contrary, the Songshan School is similar to Zhao Guo's Ice Sword Sect, basically only occupying the mountains where the sect is located, and most of the disciples of the sect are hidden in the sect for cultivation.

Even so, the Songshan School still occupies a large area, and the mountains within a radius of [-] kilometers are basically owned by the Songshan School's private property.

Here, apart from the necessary markets and villages, no one from other forces dared to enter.

"Songshan sect has 36 peaks, and there are countless masters in the sect. Brother Qingcheng's place of retreat is the first peak, Qingyang Peak. It should be right to go in this direction."

Huan Chang rode his donkey forward, and it didn't take long for him to climb over the mountains and came to the bottom of a towering mountain.

Although the mountains look around here, the foot of the mountain is bustling with people of all kinds walking through it, which is very lively.

After running around for a long time, when they came to the crowd gathering place, Huan Chang was not in a hurry to enter the Songshan School, but planned to go to the restaurant to have a rest first, and order some wine and vegetables to satisfy his hunger.

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?"

When Huan Chang was on his way, he suddenly heard a crisp voice.

This voice was still somewhat familiar, but Huan Chang didn't remember where he had heard this voice before.

"Lyli!"

However, after hearing the voice, Xiao Hei suddenly shouted excitedly, and then rushed towards the direction of the voice regardless of Huan Chang.

"Little black!"

Huan Chang watched Xiao Hei disappear like lightning, immediately yelled, and then chased after him with lightness kung fu.

"Hey, that's it!"

After chasing for a short distance, Huan Chang saw Xiao Hei circling around a woman, neighing happily.

"You, are you Huan Shaoxia?"

When the woman met Xiao Hei in a strange place, she was naturally very happy, and when she saw Huan Chang galloping towards him, a look of joy suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

However, Huan Chang could still see the anxiety that had not been completely restrained from the woman's face.

"You are, Junior Sister Xiaoke?"

　Thank you for the reward from 'Lao Na cut my hair'. Confucian Xia finally has the first leader, which makes Xuechen really ashamed. I didn't expect to support me as always when the update is so weak.In the past two months, I have been entangled in mundane affairs, and my condition has been extremely poor. I also lost confidence in this book, but seeing that my brothers have always supported me, I felt very happy in my heart.

　　Today is still a chapter for the time being, tomorrow will be guaranteed three times, and I am going to continue to explode in the future. Even if I want to still support my brothers and sisters, I must write and finish this book.
