Chapter 249 Divide the Fields

Realizing that there was someone standing in front of him, Shi Liangyu raised his head carefully and showed a flattering smile.

"This...this military master..."

"Master Shi, do you still remember me?"

"ah?"

"Our family raised cows for you."

"Ah? Really? Then why don't you let me go?"

Shi Liangyu roared with habitual excitement, not paying any attention to the terrifying haze in the young man's eyes.

"But one year when my father was tending cattle for you, one of the cows broke its leg. You asked people to break both of my father's legs. My father lay in bed for half a month with both legs broken.

Rotten and finally died..."

Shi Liangyu: “…………”

"Oh, by the way, in order to compensate you for the cow with a broken leg, you also asked people to take away the last bit of food from our family. My mother and sister also starved to death. All of this is because of you!"

Slowly squatting down, the young man was eye level with Shi Liangyu, and his smile became brighter and brighter.

"In order to repay your great kindness, this time I will destroy all nine of your tribes~"

Shi Liangyu: “…………”

A few days later, in the most prosperous square of the town, the formerly aloof landlords were tied up and kneeling on the ground with ashen faces.

In the past, the mud-legged men, who in their eyes were extremely humble and no different from animals, were taking turns to come up and yell at them, accusing them of the atrocities they had inflicted.

"My son...my son is only eight years old! Just because he picked up a few fallen grains of grain in your field after cutting, you whipped him to death. You are not a human being! Give me back.

Son! Give me back my son!"

A ragged and emotional peasant woman pulled Shi Liangyu's collar and cried until she fainted.

Shi Liangyu numbly endured her fighting and pulling, vaguely impressed by this "insignificant" thing.

It was last year that he had just bought a horse worth thousands of gold, and he was very proud of it. He happened to see a little boy stealing things in the field he had finished harvesting, so he called him over and gave him a whip.

But I didn't expect that the skinny little kid was beaten to death with just one whip!

At that time, he didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all. Instead, he was still proud of the quality of the newly purchased riding crop, and bragging to everyone he met that he had whipped a little beast to death!

And now, this incident has added another weight to his heavy sin...

Soon, the fainting peasant woman was carried down, and another farmer in ragged clothes came up, crying and venting his misery.

There were no fancy words, but the plain voice was full of tears. Thousands of "audiences" lowered their heads and wiped away tears, feeling deeply saddened.

They are all people from all over the country, and no one is related to them at all, and they have more or less experienced such tragedies that happened around them, which makes them feel the same way.

If it weren't for a group of mighty soldiers to keep order, the angry crowd would have torn these disgraced landlords into pieces and eaten them alive!

Among the crowd, a young man wearing a dragon emblem on his chest calmly observed the changes around him and nodded with satisfaction.

Is this what the instructor said, to awaken the numb people?

They used to be like a group of walking zombies, but now they are crazy, they are angry, they are violent, but at least they are like human beings...

They... No, we are not a group of two-legged beasts who can only accept things. We also have feelings, we also suffer, we also feel sad, we are also human beings...

Then he thought of his father who struggled to work in the fields even though his legs were rotten, and his mother and sister who starved to death. The young man's eyes turned red and he looked up to the sky, trying not to let tears fall.

Father, mother and little sister, I have avenged you!

"Diligence, are you really diligent?"

At this moment, a trembling call suddenly came from his ears. Chu Qinqin turned around and saw an old face that was familiar yet unfamiliar.

"Second Master!"

"Diligence! You are so diligent! I knew it was you when you complained just now. You have grown up over the years!"

The old man was so excited that he wanted to touch Chu Qinqin, but looking at his clean clothes and his dirty hands, he retracted his hand shyly.

However, Chu Qinqin grabbed his hands and refused to let go.

"Second Master, I haven't been able to come back to see you for so many years. How unfilial!"

"Haha, what about filial piety and unfilial piety? Your father is the only one with you. Seeing that you are doing well now, I will be relieved even if the second master dies!"

This sentence made Chu Qinqin's eyes sore again. If the second master hadn't cut out some of their family's rations to help him, he would have starved to death long ago!

"By the way, are you a high official in the city now? I saw that several military lords were saluting you just now."

After chatting for a while, the second master suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"They are just ordinary grassroots cadres, not considered officials."

Subconsciously touching the dragon emblem on his chest, Chu Qinqin puffed up his chest proudly, but his mouth was very humble.

“Grassroots cadres??”

"He's a small official in the Yamen."

"oh!"

Suddenly remembering something, Chu Qinqin pulled the second master to the corner and whispered softly.

"Second Master, after the grievance meeting is over, Lord Wu'an will confiscate all the land of those wealthy families. At that time, people who have no land or little land can apply for a self-cultivated land. An adult can be allocated a maximum of three acres.

Adults are allocated a maximum of two acres. When the time comes, you should apply early and strive to get a large piece of fertile land as a family unit!"

The second master who was listening attentively trembled all over and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Divide...divide the fields?!"

"Yes, except that this field cannot be traded, it is equivalent to your own family and can be cultivated for generations."

His legs went weak, and the second master almost sat down, but was supported by Chu Qinqin, who kept him from falling.

"Diligence, that martial artist, does he keep his word?!"

The second master held Chu Qinqin's hand tremblingly, and his calloused, dry fingers actually caused him slight pain when pinched.

"Jun Wu'an, Jun Wu'an, Zhao Yinshun, second master, you must remember this name."

Holding the second master's hand, Chu Qinqin said in a low and solemn voice, with a pious look like a missionary singing the name of God.

"Zhao Yinshun, Lord Wu An...I remember. Does he keep his word? He won't change his mind, right?"

Chewing the name carefully, the second master nodded and continued to ask anxiously, fearing that this was just a short-lived dream.

"Mr. Wu An is the supreme ruler of the [Liu Yin Kingdom]. How can he change his mind with his golden words?"

Chu Qinqin shook his head firmly.

"However, the army has priority in allocating land, and you can only choose them to pick out the rest."

"Ah? How many are left? Isn't it all allocated?"

Holding Chu Qinqin's hand nervously, the second master asked anxiously.

"A soldier's base is 10 acres, and each level of military rank is allocated an additional 10 acres. In addition to personal military merit rewards, our current [Cangjiao Division] can only occupy a few hundred thousand acres at most."

"Hundreds of thousands of acres?"

Upon hearing this astronomical figure, Er Ye's eyes darkened and his heart became ashen.

What's left of this?

There is no share of my own family at all!

Seeing his appearance, Chu Qinqin laughed and comforted him softly.

"Second Master, do you know how big Linbo County is? How big is the entire Liuyin Kingdom? The little land occupied by the army is like a drop of water in the sea, and the remaining land is enough for you to dazzle!"

"ah?!"

The sluggish old farmer raised his eyes in confusion. He had only guarded one-third of an acre of land his whole life. He had no idea of ​​the vastness of the world because of his shallow knowledge.

"Be diligent! Don't lie to me!"

"I can't lie to anyone, nor can I lie to you, Second Master!"

Chu Qinqin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hugged the second master's shoulders tightly and whispered softly.

"Don't worry, after all the land in the county has been measured and sorted out, this matter will be officially announced. You go back and prepare the information first, and I will help you write the application. Sign up as soon as possible, and you will definitely be able to choose a place.

Big fat field!”

"Information? What information?"

Looking at the confused and dull face of the second master, Chu Qinqin rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly.

"That's the detailed information about the total number of people in your family, adults and children. By the way, why do you have so little land and how miserable your life is..."

Seeing that the second master's expression was becoming more and more confused and helpless, Chu Qinqin's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, and finally he just laughed and shook his head.

"Forget it, after I finish my work here, I will go to your house to help you complete the information. Just wait."
