People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 464 The villagers finally realized that they couldn’t go too far!
When the dozen or so families at the entrance of the village said this, they immediately won the favor of many people.

To be honest, if it were them, they might not be able to do as well as others. You know, this is definitely not a small amount of money. No matter how indifferent the people in the martial arts world say, it must be at least 100 or 200 taels of silver. What kind of amount is that? It is a number that no one can spend in their lifetime.

So when they heard that the 19 families were actually going to donate voluntarily, they were very surprised. Especially in today's environment, it is really not easy to be so aware.

You know, they were arguing very tensely just now, but they didn't expect that they would be able to forgive each other so easily, and even under this situation, there were not many fluctuations. This can only mean that life's encounters are really special and strange.

In fact, each of these villagers is quite kind. They have never thought about what they must do to the other party, but are still thinking about how to maintain better relations between neighbors.

It's just like what the gangster said just now, in fact, they don't know what they want at all. On the one hand, they want all the people to be able to get some benefits like themselves, and at the same time, they hope that all the neighbors in the village can also be together. There is no such good thing in the world.

However, these villagers hope for such a good thing, but it is not easy for such a good thing to fall from the sky. Because of this, each of them is actually very conflicted in their hearts, that is, the conflict is between whether these villagers in front of them were really good to them when they were down and out.

These hatreds sometimes make these villagers lose some of their rationality. It is precisely because they have lost their rationality that they are quarreling now. However, their quarrel is not a real break-up.

Hence the current scene where everyone can vent their resentment, and after that, they can have more sympathy for each other, so only at this time can they truly become enlightened.

After this scene, everyone’s relationship was actually able to get along better. After all, everyone had lived here for such a long time and could communicate better. After hearing the attitudes of the dozen or so households at the entrance of the village, everyone was very pleased.

Even the old Li said directly, "Let me tell you, we are all from the same family. We have been sitting together for so many years. Even if there are some bumps, can't we resolve them peacefully? We almost got into a fight just now. Do you guys still have any magnanimity?"
The compensation hasn't come out yet, but everyone is already so excited. If it really comes out, you will definitely be in a state of panic. Think about the river construction back then, which was such a good thing. However, due to the lack of unity in our village, the river was built to other villages. I won't mention whether I regret it or not.

Think about it for yourself, village women, because this river was not built to the entrance of our village, how much impact it has brought to you. You wash clothes and shoes, you wash rice and irrigate the fields. How much time does it take? You should have a scale and understand the losses you have suffered. "

When these words came out, many people bowed their heads. That incident back then really made many people present regret it. If they hadn't been so stingy, they wouldn't have fallen to this point today.

After all, the river channel was actually planned to be built to their own village, but some individuals obstructed it, especially the dozen or so families at the entrance of the village, who now lowered their heads and dared not look at the dozens of families in the village.

After all, they were indeed not in the right in that incident back then. If they had not been unwilling to give up their little bit of land.

In fact, the government at that time also considered that forcibly occupying the people's land would be very unfair to the people. Even if the government had the qualifications to do so, the Ningbo prefect at that time was transferred from Wenzhou Prefecture.

He was a very grateful person, so he did not directly allow the government to occupy the land and fields by force. Instead, he respected the villagers' ideas.

So after the villagers disagreed, Ningbo Prefecture did not forcibly change the river course, but instead diverted it to other places. Although this did increase the workload, it also caused complaints from many people at the time.

Especially those famous men who participated in digging the canal. These men were conscripted from surrounding areas and they worked very hard.

Originally, the river channel did not need to be built that far, so they did not need to bring that much dry food or materials.

But because the villagers in this village are so dirty, they have to spend more dry food and waste several more days to repair the river.

In fact, many people in this village were cursed by the civilians at that time because of this incident. However, those dozen families not only did not restrain themselves, but instead became more dissatisfied with the villagers because of this incident. It is precisely because of so many opinions that many things are now difficult to handle.

However, now they are able to turn hostility into friendship, which is indeed a good thing for them.

You know, under this situation, the most normal thing is that the dozen or so families are resentful of the dozens of families inside. When their resentment reaches a certain level, they will immediately let everyone see their revenge. However, what no one expected is that there will be no revenge and no so much tit-for-tat.

Although they also have quarrels, although not all of them are good people, although they also have selfish thoughts, although they all want to make their family life better.

But in the end they overcame the greed in their hearts, and finally one by one they gave up so many thoughts and took the initiative to stand up and speak to dozens of villagers.

We are willing to give out a part of the compensation, and then let each of you feel balanced in your hearts. In this way, even if we get the compensation, we will not have so many complaints because only we can live a good life while you cannot.

It is precisely because of this that they can be so harmonious now.

In fact, the people in the martial arts world who saw this scene were very happy.

The first reason is that through their own efforts, they resolved the grievances that had existed in the village for many years, and the villagers finally realized that they did not actually have too much resentment towards other people, but rather it was the luck accumulated over the past decade that was at work.

Seeing that the villagers are now getting along well, they are relieved. Another thing the blind fortuneteller said just now is that if they can do a good job of propaganda for everyone, they can get a piece of land in their hometown.

Land is very important to these Jianghu people. So land is important to all ordinary people, but it is especially important to Jianghu people. Why? Because these Jianghu people once lost their land, so they wandered around and lived such a miserable life.

But now Guo Feixue has given them an opportunity, this opportunity is to let them do their best in this propaganda work, if they can do their best to complete the court's entrustment, then the court can give them some land at its discretion. To be honest, this kind of promise is very powerful. If it can be used well, it can make these people, whether they are ordinary people or people in the underworld, believe in the current reform and reform. Guo Feixue is still a very powerful person.

Although she is very young and a woman, it has to be said that she is very good at manipulating people's hearts, especially the hearts of people in the underworld.

What do Jianghu people fear the most? The most feared thing is that they have no land. Jianghu people have been wandering in Jianghu for so many years. In fact, they are very tired, but there is no place for them to settle down.

In fact, people in the underworld pay more attention to returning to their roots than ordinary people because they have never had such an opportunity.

That's why they are all very eager.

Now that Guo Feixue can offer them such a reward that allows them the opportunity to return to their roots, how can they not seize this opportunity?

In fact, the blind fortune teller was very shocked after hearing what Guo Feixue said. He did not expect that a young girl could think so much.

Even at that time, he was thinking in his heart that he was now a very old man, what did he want to do most? It was to have a place to return to his hometown. He wanted to be buried in his hometown, but this hope was very slim.

So when he heard what Guo Feixue said, he was very interested, not to mention other people in the world. The blind fortune teller was considered the most shrewd among them.

After all, he is a fortune teller who makes a living, and he is very good at controlling people's hearts. In many ways, he is of course much more harmful than those who are young and do not have much experience. However, he has to admit that Guo Feixue has grasped the lifeblood of the people in the martial arts world, which is the idea of ​​returning to their roots, thus making the people in the martial arts world willing to risk their lives for them.

So there are many people in the underworld who like money very much, but compared to money, being able to buy an industry in their hometown is more tempting for people in the underworld.

Because land cannot be bought casually, especially if you no longer have a household registration.

In the Ming Dynasty, people in this place had no registered permanent residence, so they were called refugees. If the imperial court wanted to catch the refugees, their fate would be to send them into exile.

Sometimes these people in the underworld have to be classified as slaves. Once they are classified as slaves, their lives will be miserable.

"Jianji" is a general term for people of particularly low status such as musicians, prostitutes, and gangsters. It is not a general term, but their household registration is like that.

People with this household registration will never be able to change their fate in their lifetime unless they make great achievements. Of course, people in the underworld don't even dare to hope for this.

Not only will the children of people with this household registration be affected, their children will not be allowed to take the imperial examinations or work in high-level jobs, but their descendants may also not be able to change their fate because of this household registration.

That's why life is so difficult for people in the underworld, because if you have this household registration, both ordinary people and government officials can bully you. If you are not convinced, then fine, once there is a fight or something like that, the government will first determine that you are guilty.

So why are these people in the underworld so cautious when walking in the underworld? Because in that environment, if they are not careful and cautious, once they violate any criminal law, they will be severely punished.

Because of this, they are very eager to have a chance to change their destiny, and now Guo Feixue has given them a clearer direction.

As long as they can help the court publicize the benefits of the reform, they will have the opportunity to change their destiny.

This opportunity was so precious to them that the blind man felt that he would never have anything to do with the court in his life. He also took the initiative to step forward to do this, not only because he knew that this was an extremely precious opportunity, but also because it was a rare chance for him to return to his hometown and live a decent life.

When he thought about his children and wife in his hometown who were implicated because of him, he could survive in the village, but it was very difficult. If he could help the court to establish his merit and restore his hometown, and at the same time get a piece of land, it would change the fate of the whole family. How could he not be excited when he thought about this?

Of course, he had a little selfish motive at the beginning, which was to take all the credit for himself. In this way, the credit would be huge.

Once the reward from Guo Feixue comes, I can't say I will be very successful, but I will definitely be rich.

But in the end, he pulled back and told all the stories, just to inform all his colleagues. If he works hard, follows the court, the Duke and the Saint, he will surely be able to rise to prominence.

While the blind man was daydreaming, the villagers below began to talk and laugh.

"This time, I have to thank you guys. If it weren't for your advice, we would still be arguing over trivial matters. If it weren't for your advice, we would definitely continue to argue over this matter."

"Who said it wasn't? At that time, we thought God was really kind enough to give us so much compensation. With this compensation, we can leave here and live the life we ​​want. But it seems that it's not the case. Where can we go even if we leave here? How can we survive if we leave here?"
