Become a feudal king from today

"Daddy Shuanzi, your family also got six acres of land?"

Like the man, someone was already waiting at the entrance of the village. ReadМ

Seeing the man arrive, they immediately asked.

The man nodded, no need to ask, each of their families must have been given six acres of land as well.

"I have three children, two of them went to the father-in-law, and they know a lot of words." Another person said, his face full of pride.

"My family was too busy when planting winter wheat, so Li Zheng led other people to help with the planting. It is said that the villagers are asked to help each other." Another person said with a sigh on his face.

"Su Da's family in the village took the initiative to hand over thirty acres of their land after the Yanzhou army came. Yanzhou officials didn't bother him at all. It is said that he now borrowed money and built a cement factory. He is now richer than before. When you see me, you keep praising King Yan, tell me if we are wrong."

"..."

Everyone introduced the situation to each other for a while and kept feeling emotional.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "We are working as private soldiers for Su Mian, and he only gave us three acres of land each. That's it, and we still have to hand over 30% to him. It is worse for our own people to treat our own people than for outsiders to do to us. You said we followed him wholeheartedly, so what did you say?"

"It's not like they are scaring us, saying that King Yan is coming and we have nothing. They are just liars." One person said bitterly.

"Following them now is like a lost dog. Their own children are rich and prosperous. Can they control those of us with the same surname?"

"..."

As the prisoners spoke, they complained again to the wealthy people.

As they were talking, the palace soldiers gathered again and came to them.

The leading soldier said: "I have seen what needs to be seen and said what needs to be said. Now I am going back to Baima County. If you want to go back, I will send you there. If you want to go home, I will make arrangements for you to go home."

Hearing this, the prisoners were pleasantly surprised, and one prisoner immediately said excitedly, "We don't want to bother you anymore. This is my home, and I don't want to leave."

Two-thirds of the prisoners said this, and one-third chose to remain silent.

"You guys are really stubborn. Next time we meet on the battlefield, you may not be so lucky to survive." The leading soldier snorted coldly, "Let's go, I'll take you to Jiangbei."

Zhao Xu is also there. He went to Yangcheng temporarily to rest yesterday and came early in the morning.

Looking at the third of the prisoners, he frowned slightly.

In his opinion, there are different ranks among powerful soldiers.

First of all, the top powerful and core tribesmen like Xie Duan will naturally not surrender.

The second-class wealthy clans and the core clansmen, who were once the rulers of the counties, were naturally unwilling to surrender.

The third class are the direct beneficiaries of the wealthy families. Their family property is not as large as that of the wealthy families, but they still have hundreds of acres.

The fourth class are ordinary soldiers of the powerful clan. They are members of the same surname as the powerful and powerful clans, but to the powerful and powerful clans, they are just like poor relatives from afar.

Life may not be better than that of ordinary people.

But some of them take people of the same surname and race too seriously.

This is like the relationship between Ah Q and Master Zhao.

Ah Q was proud of his surname Zhao for a while, but when Master Zhao found out, he beat him up and scolded him: "You are worthy of the surname Zhao."

Before Ah Q was beaten, he was very much the same enemy as Mr. Zhao. After being beaten, he suddenly came to his senses.

Many of these low-level powerful soldiers are Da Song's Ah Q, and they are still immersed in the confusion that they are relatives of Mr. Zhao.

He just wanted to wake up these people's confusion and tell them that their Mr. Zhao only treated them so well.

Therefore, he was a little puzzled when he saw that one third of the people were unwilling to stay.

There are really many people who are willing to be Ah Q.

"We are not going back to Jiangbei to fight with you. My eldest brother and second brother are still alive and well. I want to tell them about the changes in the village and let them come back to farm and live a peaceful life." At this moment, a captive joke He scratched his neck and said.

"Me too."

"Me too."

"..."

The remaining prisoners said over each other.

The leading soldier was startled when he saw this, and then smiled.

It turned out that he was wrong.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and the smile gradually bloomed on his face.

His hard work was not in vain after all.

He believed that some of these prisoners were still stubborn, but at the same time most of them must have woken up.

This time, they returned to the south of the Yangtze River again and spread the picture of the beautiful life in the north of the Yangtze River, which will definitely shake more low-level soldiers.

With a simple understanding of his strategy, Zhao Xu continued to set off towards Yanzhou.

However, this time back, he was not just rushing, but every time he encountered a city, he would stop and inspect the city to check the implementation of the court's policies.

When he was in Pengcheng, he saw the three major banks that were already in use.

Like Yancheng, Pengcheng is currently planning a workshop area.

Some workshops manufacturing civilian goods have already settled in the workshop.

In addition, infrastructure construction in Pengcheng is also underway.

Some streets in Pengcheng have been paved with smooth and clean cement roads, and ditches are being dug and bridges are being built in the countryside.

Continue north from Pengcheng to Lucheng, Qizhou.

The development here is more complete than that in Pengcheng.

Compared with Pengcheng, Gongfang District is not only larger in scale, but also has more complete industrial types.

The dirt roads in the city have basically turned into cement roads.

Going further north into Yanzhou, the industrial atmosphere hits your nose directly.

Even the county town has traces of the steam industry, with steam engines installed in many workshops here.

Roads are no longer limited to counties and county towns, but cement roads between counties and counties are also being laid.

Outside Fanyang City, he even saw a steam excavator digging a ditch.

Preparing to lead the canal to Yancheng was part of the imperial plan.

Along the way to Yancheng, he saw six more steam excavators.

Arriving at the outskirts of Yancheng, he saw a steam tractor again in Guanzhuang.

It can be seen that while he was away fighting, everything in Jiangbei was developing in an orderly manner.

The welcome changes are surprising.

Thinking about what he heard and saw, Zhao Xu was still in a very happy mood when he returned to the palace.

"Before His Highness came back, the newspaper had published the story of Your Highness's capture of Jinling. Both the common merchants and the royal officials all praised His Highness. The Emperor was said to be so happy that he stayed up all night, saying that he would be like the King of Yan when he gave birth to a son. Now His Highness His prestige is truly unprecedented." As soon as Zhao Xu returned to the palace, he was caught by Yang Susu and taken to the bedroom.

It is also a way of asking for help, and it also makes people miss each other.

Like lovers who have been apart for a long time, they are tired of being together.

After a while, while she was preparing dinner, she was in high spirits and talking about the praises that had been given to him in the newspapers.

Naturally, she felt a little proud when her man was praised.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu laughed softly.

Just as he expected, capturing Jinling City would be a carnival for the entire Jiangbei.

At the same time, it was a heavy blow to Jiangnan.

And when Chang Wei seizes the entire southern part of Ningzhou and controls the grain-producing areas, life will be even more difficult for the powerful clans.

The two of them were chatting with each other, when Feng'er came outside the door and said with curled lips: "Your Highness, Xu Hark wants to see you. It's true. His Highness has just come back. Let him rest for a while."

Yang Susu smiled and said: "Your Highness belongs to everyone in the world, not just us." As he said this, he pinched Zhao Xu's waist, his eyes were like water.

Zhao Xu chuckled twice, knowing in his heart, "I will come as soon as I go."

As soon as he came back, Tsui Hark arrived. He must have some urgent information.
