After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Xu Deyuan looked at his eldest daughter, "What did the Fang family say? Since it's a tryst between men and women, what about Fang Xun? Why did Xu Qingying only blame our second wife?"

Xu Yinxi frowned, as if he thought Xu Deyuan's question was very strange, and said: "Fang Xun is not in the house. We were discussing official matters together. There are many people who can testify to this matter."

Lian heard the hint from Xu Yinxi. It was impossible to drag the Fang family into trouble.

Xu Deyuan was even more angry this time, "It's useless to do it so stupidly! You didn't know if anyone else was there before you went in? If he wasn't there, what were you going in for? It was all for nothing, right?" Stupid! Stupid!"

Lian's face suddenly became even more ugly.

When Xu Yinxi heard this, she sneered in her heart.

As expected of Xu Deyuan, he could say such words to a Yunying unmarried daughter.

Lian grabbed Xu Lezhi and asked: "Xu Lezhi, why did you go to Fang Xun? If you don't explain clearly the cause and effect of the matter today, you will never recognize me as your mother in the future!"

Xu Lezhi didn't dare to speak clearly. He only said vaguely: "I just... I just want to see him... just say a few words to him..."

"There's no need to say anything in the middle of the night! And you, why do you avoid everyone and go to find him secretly?"

At the end of the story, Xu Lezhi suddenly got up the courage for some reason, "Mom, I'm doing this for our second wife! Don't they all say that the old man of the Fang family still has hope of recovery? If I can marry Fang Xun , our second wife no longer has to rely on others. What’s the good of following Xu Zhenying and turning into a bandit? If someone from the court comes one day and arrests us as traitors, our whole family will be beheaded, no one will be spared! Rather than this, it would be better Let's give it a try. Anyway, my daughter is almost fourteen, and it's time to talk about marriage. What good can we find in Lan County? Fang Xun is the best man for my daughter to find so far. If it were anyone else, no matter what Whether he is the son of a businessman or a rural landowner, his daughter will not do it!”

When Xu Yinxi heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore. She knew that Xu Lezhi was a little dizzy, but she didn't know that she was so confused.

Xu Yinxi sneered, "Xu Lezhi, you are too ignorant of yourself. We are the sons of merchants and rural landowners. We are just a humble family. Even if we change our household registration quietly now, we are just farmers. Do you think those merchants Does your son like you?"

Xu Lezhi retorted unconvinced: "I have been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child. Not to mention my talent, my appearance is also first-rate. Why do they look down on me?"

Xu Yinxi said angrily: "Do you think marriage is a child's play? In the final analysis, marriage is an exchange of resources. Your talent and beauty are far less valuable than a good identity. Xu Lezhi, you are so confused. You are in Bianjing City in vain. After living here for so many years, you still can't see that marriage is a match, right? Then who of the wealthy families in Bianjing City will not marry based on their family background. Have you ever seen a woman who is talented and beautiful but has no family background, other than being a concubine? A way out?!”

"Sister, that's because you don't have the ability. It doesn't mean that I will be like you! You don't have the ability to control a man, that's why your fiancé's family broke off the engagement! I'm different. Fang Xun has a simple temper. I can control him and I can make him Use it for me!"

Xu Yinxi was so angry that her face turned green. She stood up suddenly. After being by Xu Zhenying's side for several months, Xu Yinxi, who was once timid and meek, now had a pressure that could not be ignored. "Xu Lezhi, let me tell you." Two things. First, it is absolutely impossible for the Fang family to revolt. Second, Fang Xun is not that simple, and you can’t control him!"

Xu Deyuan was startled and looked at Xu Yinxi, "What do you mean when you say that the Fang family will not rise again?"

Xu Yinxi raised her eyebrows coldly, "The Fang family's path to recovery has been cut off. Nowadays, the government and the public are fighting over who will be the emperor. Officials have changed one after another. Who would still remember Mr. Fang? If it weren't for today's There was a big fire, and the Fang family and others were ready to pack up and leave, to live a different life somewhere else."

Lian Shi was also stunned and said: "No wonder Fang Xun and Ning Mo are working for the city lord. Mr. Fang doesn't seem to object to it before."

But Xu Lezhi was shocked, "How could it be possible? Mr. Fang has reached the third rank. Didn't he say that there are people in the court who will return to Bianjing if they don't reach Qianzhou?"

"Now the court is changing too fast. Today is different from the past. Xu Lezhi, if you walk around more and look around more, you will know how ridiculous your behavior today is. Not to mention that the fire came out of nowhere today. There are a lot of houses around, but Only the Fang family's house was burned down, and you are planning to marry her, but have you ever thought that there is a Prince Ming who is eager to take the lives of the entire Fang family?"

Xu Deyuan was startled by Xu Yinxi's words and broke into a cold sweat!

"No one dares to mess with the Fang family now, but you have to cut off your head and pick a hot head, and you insist on risking the lives of our whole family. Xu Lezhi, do you think you are stupid?!"

Xu Lezhi slumped and fell to the ground.

Xu Deyuan reacted almost immediately, "Yes, yes, you must not mess with the Fang family! Xu Lezhi, if you go to Fang Xun again, don't blame me for breaking your legs!"

And Xu Lezhi already had a look of deathly gray on his face.

After all, she was her own daughter. Although Lian was angry, she had no choice but to say straightly: "Lezhi, the situation outside is not good now. Xu Zhenying said that it may be chaotic for several years. Don't be anxious about your marriage. You will definitely meet someone good in the future, you Don’t worry, your two younger brothers are responsible for the burden of the second house, and it’s not your turn to shoulder the responsibility of a girl!”

Lian Shi glanced at Xu Deyuan meaningfully again.

But Xu Lezhi obviously couldn't listen and looked impatient.

To put it nicely, his father trapped him in this house all day long, his mother was already living in the third room, and Xu Yinxi was also hanging around Xu Zhenying, so who would worry about her marriage?

In this world, the only one you can rely on is yourself!

----------------

At this moment, thatched houses were built one after another in the direction of the river along the more than ten kilometers between Ye County and Lan County.

Between 30,000 and 40,000 refugees were numbered and divided into more than 100 groups, leaving the old, weak, orphans and widows behind, while the rest were all driven here to open up wasteland.

The team was led by Ming Xiaoshuang and Xu Anping. Because the number of refugees was huge this time, Xu Zhenying specially called Zhao, Lian, Xu Yinxi and others to help with resettlement.

Although Xu Zhenying agreed to provide food, the refugees were still frightened, fearing that Xu Zhenying would treat them as a burden and throw them into the barren places of Ye County and Lan County.

The refugees live in groups of thirty or forty people, and each group has a team leader.

Xu Yinxi and others each manage several groups, but they are really unable to do their job well.

Everyone imagined that they were going to open up wasteland, but they had no tools and no food and grass. If they hadn't seen the familiar faces around Xu Zhenying, they might have thought that they were being expelled.

I don't know how hard it is to open up wasteland, but I think it's almost like doing corvee work.

Fortunately, Xu Zhenying promised that those who performed well would be allocated fields. Therefore, although everyone knew that clearing land would make them shed a layer of their skin due to exhaustion, they had hope in their hearts and felt endless energy in their bodies!

These 30,000 to 40,000 people walked very slowly, stretching for more than ten kilometers on the mountain road. It looked so dark that it was impossible to see the end.

Finally reached the destination.

Unexpectedly, what appeared in front of everyone was not a wasteland overgrown with weeds. Instead, they saw a flat ground. There were dozens of simple tents in front of them, including pots and pans, clothes, books, etc., and all the supplies were fairly complete. A huge pavilion was built in the middle, with several long stools placed there, like a place for discussion.

Not only that, every section between the mountains and fields was marked with silk, as if they were divided into fields. It looked particularly eye-catching, and dozens of heads could be vaguely seen working in the mountains and forests.

Some people are measuring the land with rulers, some are setting up pots to cook porridge, and some are gathering tools. What a vibrant land!

Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed. We finally arrived at our destination, and looking at the busy scene in front of us, everyone’s hearts finally dropped.

Someone with sharp eyes immediately saw the plaque on the pavilion, and then read word by word: "The first demonstration base of the new rural area? What... does this mean?"

"Why are there so many people here? Could it be that it's not just us?"

"Didn't you say there is a group of refugees ahead? Could it be them?"

"No, it's said that they allocated the fields directly in Ye County. We still arrived too late and did not catch up with the good luck!"

"Hey, I heard from my family that all the girls in Ye County are divided into fields!"

"What? Real or fake? How can a woman divide the land? If the woman gets married, she will become someone else's family. Why give it to them? Isn't this a waste?!"

"Of course it's true! The man from my family went to the city last night and said that he heard from people in the city. The city lord not only divided the fields for the girl, but also raised a female soldier!"

This is incredible.

Women divided the fields, which was unprecedented.

I have never heard of women serving as soldiers.

Since those people entered Lan County, they also brought back all the news about Lan County.

Within an hour or two, those shrewd and capable women had found out everything about universal education, raising pigs for half a year, and dividing farmland among refugees, and brought back all the strange-sounding news.

Lan County is really a different place.

Everyone was about to gather together to find out what was going on, but the group leader started shouting.

"Stop talking, Mr. Shuang is about to speak. Everyone, keep your ears open and listen!" The team leader got the order and eagerly controlled the people under his command. "Quick, quick, quick, everyone stands up and lines up in a line!" Save some space for the people behind you! You guys, stop chatting around!"

Everyone moved reluctantly.

Fortunately, the square with one or two acres in front of this wasteland has been initially flattened, and it can barely accommodate the tens of thousands of people.

At this time, there was a crowd of people, and tens of thousands of people stretched their necks to look at each other.

I saw a few familiar faces under Xu Zhenying, both men and women, and they all looked extremely young. The leader was Ming Xiaoshuang, who was responsible for the land reclamation and land distribution work for the 30,000 to 40,000 refugees this time.

I saw him wearing green clothes, with a slender figure, calm and powerful, and holding the iron trumpet in his hand——

According to the information received from the women who went to the city, it was said that the thing was called a loudspeaker and could transmit the sound farther.

Some people also use to call it a trumpet.

In short, Ming Xiaoshuang held the loudspeaker high and looked at the tens of thousands of eager eyes below, feeling indescribable excitement in her heart.

He knew that in Xiaoshuang's long career of more than 20 years, the only decision to follow Xu Zhenying was the right one.

How could Ming Xiaoshuang have imagined that when he just decided to follow Xu Zhenying, he could now command tens of thousands of people. When these people met, they all spoke of "Little Shuang Ye", their expressions were respectful and humble, and they seemed to be afraid of him.

If he told Zhao Qionnian and his brothers, even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe that Ming Xiaoshuang could live the life he has now.

Lan County is so wonderful. As a member of the Xu family's political affairs team, he is always cheered and supported wherever he goes.

If it weren't for the fact that there were Xu Yinxi, Qian Zhenniang, Fang Xun and others around him for comparison, Ming Xiaoshuang might not be able to help but float up.

Every time he was swirling in the whirlpool of desire for power, he could always see them staying up late studying hard to catch up with each other, so he suddenly woke up!

What a treat!

Look at people! There are many capable people around Xu Zhenying, and he just has the opportunity to join him first. If he doesn't work hard to get involved, he may be replaced by these people soon!

Every time he thought of this, Ming Xiaoshuang lost all thoughts of pleasure and became more cautious.

Especially this time, Xu Zhenying entrusted him with the task of dividing the land and opening up wasteland for tens of thousands of people. He also knew in his heart that if he could do this well, it would be a great merit, and they would be deeply rooted in Lan from now on. county. If it doesn't work well...

No, he must do it well!

He will never give others a chance to get ahead!

So he held up a loudspeaker to calm down his agitated mood, and tried to imitate Xu Zhenying's usual way of speaking, with a slow tone, trying to make everyone hear clearly.

"Everyone, the city lord has held a mobilization meeting for everyone before leaving. I think everyone knows what to do this time. I will also emphasize a few points."

"We have a total of nearly 40,000 people this time. Since you have come to Lan County, you are from Lan County! Our city owner is a good person. She has been a refugee herself, so she knows how miserable and difficult the life of refugees is. Even if we Lan There is not enough food in the county, and even if there is not enough land, she will try her best to solve it! With land, we have a home, and with a home, we can live like a human being!"

Ming Xiaoshuang's speech naturally touched the hearts of the refugees.

However, Qian Zhenniang smiled and said to Xu Yinxi: "The speech that Brother Shuang worked overtime to write last night is still effective. I see that the emotions of the refugees are all aroused."

Xu Yinxi also laughed: "Facts have proved that hard work can make up for weakness."

Qian Zhenniang was thoughtful.

"Therefore, we must do a good job in dividing the fields and opening up wasteland! We must do it beautifully! Here, I will also explain it to everyone, but I think some well-informed people may also know that the group in Ye County The refugees came early and caught up with the good time, so they have already allocated the ready-made land. What the city lord promised at that time was that he would not collect any tax in the first year! In the second year, it would be 10%, and it would increase year by year, up to 30%!"

This news undoubtedly gave everyone present a shot in the arm!

There was no rent in the first year, which meant that whatever the fields grew was all their own food. Many of them abandoned their fields and left their homes because they couldn't stand the exploitation by the officials. Now that they finally settled in Lan County, they learned that the taxes here are so high. It's so low, how can this make them not excited!
