Chapter 57
The rebel army occupied the whole city, distributed money and food, appeased the people, and cheered in the city.

But Zhou Shi walked over with a sad face, and bowed to everyone: "Several supernatural beings have destroyed the Zhang family and eliminated evil for the people in the city. It is very pleasing to the hearts of the people. I am so grateful to ordinary people."

Yan Nu was confused: "Since it's a great thing, why are you crying so sad?"

Zhou Shi glanced at him, remained silent, and just bowed repeatedly.

Feng Junyou reacted immediately, and said lightly: "Yannu, you almost wiped out the gentry in the city. Once we leave, they will be in trouble next time. The surrounding wealthy families must attack together?"

Shen Leling chuckled: "What's there to be afraid of? Didn't I recruit so many soldiers for you? Don't you have the confidence to defend Hua County? Then surrender as soon as possible."

Zhou Shi sighed: "But we have no name or title, so we can't recruit many."

"If there are soldiers in hand, the surrounding nobles will not be afraid of them. I have the means to defeat the enemy, and even seize counties to grow stronger."

"But these pawns temporarily deter your force, what will happen when you leave?"

"Without the support of the gentry, even if those warriors surrender for a while, they will seize the city in a coup afterwards. Even if I handle it properly, they will flee and go to other wealthy families."

"No matter how much money you give, you will only run with the money and have no fighting power, because whoever you follow will have a better future than following us."

Yan Nu was astonished and said: "Why! Just because I killed all the scholars of the Zhang family?"

Feng Junyou explained to him: "It is greed to seize the Zhang family's foundation, and it is rebellion to destroy the entire Zhang family. Unless there is no way out, who is willing to sell their lives here?"

Yan Nu was a little dazed, and murmured: "The Zhang family has been wiped out. If you want to survive, you have to look at the faces of other noble families?"

"Yes..." Zhou Shi bowed.

Yan Nu frowned, and stomped his spear on the ground: "Then I won't leave, and if the nobles dare to come, they will all be wiped out!"

"No way!" Zhou Shi and Feng Junyou said in unison.

They all knew very well that after destroying the Zhang family and leaving, the volunteers in Hua County only had to face the coveting of the surrounding wealthy families. Although this situation was difficult, there was still a solution, and it was still a game at the secular level.

But if the monster stays, there will be countless enemies to face.

Especially Yan Nu Shen Leling and the others, they were chased and killed by monks in the first place.

After Feng Junyou finished talking about the stakes, he said to Zhou Shi: "Anyway, you were forced to revolt, and the matter of destroying the Zhang family should be left on us."

Shen Leling patted Yan Nu: "Leave the rest to them, we're leaving, it's a good thing for this place."

Yan Nu nodded.

Seeing that they were indeed going to leave, Zhou Shi cupped his hands in gratitude: "That's fine."

However, Yan Nu listened to the cheers from all over the city, and suddenly said: "After we leave, you don't have to be afraid of the rich people around you."

"Look at how happy everyone is. Hurry up and divide the fields. This is everyone's home. Who doesn't want to protect their own home?"

When he was very young, A Weng still had his own fields. After the great chaos, in order to protect Chashan Village, A Weng led the whole village. Chashan Village is their home.

Later, the land became the Zhang family's, and Chashan Village became Chashan Fort. Ah Weng and everyone else were also forced to defend the city, so that when Gou Xi arrived, the army easily broke through the city.

Almost all the villagers in that battle died, and Ah Weng never got angry again, and never picked up a knife again.

From then on, Yan Nu only stayed for A Weng. If A Weng was there, there was still a home. If A Weng was not there, there would be no home.

Yan Nu knew very well what people wanted, but when he said this, everyone was astonished.

Zhou Shi's headache was about to burst: "You still want us to share the land?"

"That's right, the Zhang family has hundreds of thousands of acres of land, haven't you started dividing it yet?" Yan Nu asked back, he thought that after occupying the city, the people had already divided so much of the Zhang family's land.

Li Xiang shook his head: "We are still counting the properties of the Zhang family, but because there are no scholars, and my subordinates are all big bosses, those books know me, but I don't know him."

"Therefore, all kinds of businesses in the city are waiting to be flourished, and there are so many things going on, it's really dark in the eyes."

As he said that, he looked at Zhou Shi: "Thanks to Mr., otherwise we really don't know what to do."

Now in the city, Zhou Shi is the only scholar left, and all government affairs depend on him. When he heard that Li Xiang was also thinking about equalizing the land, he fell back and passed out.

"Sir! Sir!" Li Xiang was startled, and quickly hugged him.

It took a long time to wake up Zhou Shi, and Zhou Shi tremblingly said: "You kill me..."

"Why are you doing this, sir?" Li Xiang asked anxiously.

Zhou Shi's lips turned white and said: "Those who equalize the land die, this has been the case throughout the ages! Don't you hear that Wang Mang is going to die? Rather than die without a burial place, it is better for the Lord to kill me now."

Li Xiang was born in a reckless family and hadn't read much, so he asked in amazement, "Wang Mang?"

Zhou Shi sighed: "Wang Mang went back to the past, restored the old land system thousands of years ago, and threatened to return to the age of Yao and Shun, but in fact he perverted and harmed all people. His crimes are too numerous to write."

"He confiscated all the arable land in the world. Based on the principle of a couple's hundred acres, all the land that exceeded it was confiscated and redistributed to farmers without land. Private sales are not allowed."

"So much so that the whole world was boiling and the world was against it. Emperor Guangwu came out according to the destiny, and the responders were like a cloud. In a short period of time, Shenzhou was swept away, and the sea was peaceful."

"Wang Mang was mutilated into thousands of pieces by the rebels, and his head was taken up and beaten by the common people who suffered from it. His tongue was cut and eaten. Up to now, the head has been tanned and stored in Luoyang Palace to warn the royal families of all dynasties."

Yan Nu asked strangely: "Why is the whole world against?"

Since people's complaints are boiling, there must be a reason, but he didn't hear the problem.

"The people lost their land innocently, so why not rebel?" Zhou Shi cast a sideways glance at him.

Yan Nu tilted his head: "Isn't there a hundred acres?"

Zhou Shi said angrily: "Everyone is the emperor's tenant farmer. If there is no selfish land in the world, you think it is a good thing? This will only make everyone poor regardless of the common people."

Yan Nu had no way to refute, and vaguely felt that the point of the problem was not this, but he didn't know how to say it, he only wished he hadn't read the book.

Li Xiang was also unwilling to say: "But now we have no name, no title, and no one. What can we do if the land is not even? How can the people support us?"

Zhou Shi said anxiously: "The people only want to have enough food and clothing. We will give them the fields to plant, and only charge a small rent. We must not show the appearance of equal land."

"Otherwise, if the aristocratic family is full of enthusiasm, who in the world can resist it?"

"Wang Mang owns the world, and his corpses are broken into tens of thousands of pieces. Now we only occupy one county, but if we dare to kill the nobles and share their land, we will die without a place to die."

Then he said to Yan Nu: "You have killed all the nobles of the Zhang family, and no one will dare to join us again."

"Without the approval of the gentry in the world, we are almost living in the cracks. If we don't be wiped out, we will be considered as a high incense. If we dare to equalize the land, we will be turned into ashes!"

Yan Nu finally realized: "So as long as there are no aristocratic families in the world, can the fields be shared?"

"..." Zhou Shisheng had nothing to love, and he was about to kill himself when he drew his sword.

Li Xiang hurriedly stopped: "Sir! Let's not equalize the land first! It's the same for us to plant the land for the common people."

"However, the wealthy families around us are staring at us. If we don't share the land, how can we resist?"

Zhou Shi said depressedly: "There is a way to resist, there is a way... As long as Bujuntian is in a desperate situation, then I have a way to deal with the few mediocre wealthy families around here..."

Li Xiang showed joy on his face: "It turns out there is a way. I thought it was hopeless. If there is really no way out, I don't care about it. It's better to go all the way to the dark, at least get the support of the people."

As soon as Yan Nu heard it, he clapped his hands and said: "That's right! Anyone who doesn't give him a way out will die!"

"It's not a desperate situation... It's not a desperate situation... If there is a way out, I will be able to manage this Hua County!" Zhou Shi said with a headache, as long as the land is not equalized, it is not a desperate situation.

"That's good, that's good." Li Xiang held Zhou Shi's hand with a relieved look on his face.

There were tears in Zhou Shi's eyes, when he thought about how few people in this city had studied, and he was the only one who had to take care of it, he felt a heavy burden on him.

But even so, this mess, he desperately wanted to plan to break it, otherwise, how could he avenge the hatred of the country and the family?

All businesses in the city are waiting to be flourished, and with the Zhang family's capital, it's not impossible to pull it off.

Thinking of this, he really thought of some ideas, and then, he glanced at Li Xiang, who was beside him with a simple and honest face, and was startled: "This big bastard, isn't he trying to provoke me?"

Then he looked at Yan Nu again, suspecting that the two were singing together.

If this is the case, then Li Xiang has a vulgar appearance but a delicate heart, which may really help.

Zhou Shi settled down and felt better.
