Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 526 Under the iron fist, the momentum is like a broken bamboo

In fact, the group of bald and pig-headed gentry, that is, Zhang Nianzu and others, are not blindly stubborn.

After swearing harsh words in front of Xia Dan, they wanted to run away.Find a Taoist temple in the mountains to avoid the limelight, wait for the official to leave, and then come back to clean up the situation.

But who would have imagined that the work team had already been eyeing them, and when they were asked to go to the meeting, the manpower had already been arranged.As soon as Zhang Nianzu and others left the Xia Mansion, they were caught by the officers and soldiers ambushing in the alley...

The work team was originally trying to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys. How could these people survive if they took the initiative to shoot at the guns?
And the one who reported to the work team was none other than Zhang Nianzu's long-term follower, Zhang San... Thanks to the vigorous propaganda of the beggar gang, Zhang San knew that 'whoever speaks ill will be stopped', and reported half of his family property.

Zhang Nianzu is used to being domineering, and it is the same with his servants.Zhang San has long held a grudge, and if he doesn't report him, he will still keep it for the New Year?

This is the importance of publicity. In this era when everyone doesn't pay attention to publicity, Lao Liu pays special attention to it, and the effect is surprisingly good.

After His Royal Highness Chu used ingenious means to divide the gentry, elders, common people, and even their own servants and family members.The wealthy and helpless households, who were already isolated and helpless, could not bear the thunderstorm of the two Highnesses at all, and most of them accepted the government's arrangement honestly like Xia Dan.

A small number of diehards like Zhang Nianzu who couldn't see the situation clearly were naturally suppressed mercilessly by the work team.

Yaqian Street.

There are three layers of common people inside and outside, watching with great interest. The usually invincible old men are put on heavy wooden shackles and chained outside the yamen to show their shame.

"Haha, Zhang Nianzu, you have today!" Those ordinary people who were abused by Zhang Nianzu naturally gloated, and some people spat at him and threw clods of dirt.It made him miserable.

The rest of the squires were also having a hard time, they were all dejected and let everyone spurn them...

"This world has really changed..." Only now did the common people believe that the order that had remained unchanged for thousands of years was finally about to change.

"That's right, didn't Master Zhang say, 'The emperor takes turns to do it, and the country gentry lasts for thousands of years'?" Someone satirized Zhang Nianzu: "Are you still talking hard now?"

"Nonsense!" Among the crowd, a man with a goatee, Mr. Dong Xuan, shook his head and sighed, "Since ancient times, the king and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world. The emperor will let them kill the scholar-bureaucrats, and he will lose all people's hearts."

"That's right, could it be that the emperor still expects to share the world with these poor ghosts?" Another scholar who was also full of sourness also said heartbrokenly: "It's really outrageous!"

"It's almost done." At this time, the people next to him couldn't help but say: "Emperor Hongwu has made decisions for us poor ghosts, isn't it hindering you?"

"Everyone, don't just look at your eyes. It has been thousands of years since the imperial power has not come down to the county. There must be a reason for it."

"How long can the imperial court's... Laoshizi work team stay with us? When they leave, dust will return to ashes and dust will return to dust. What should we do?" Let's talk about this group of 'fools in the countryside'.

"Nonsense, Zhang Nianzu and the others have already had their homes ransacked. Even if they can save their lives, will the imperial court return their property to them?" Those ordinary people who had done something just now retorted loudly:
"Become poor ghosts like us, who is afraid of them?"

"Ignorance." The goatee shook his head and said, "Even if Zhang Nianzu is down, there are still Wang Nianzu and Li Nianzu, and some of them are country gentlemen who are anxious to get up. When I miss him."

"Besides, what is the imperial court used for? It is used by the emperor to collect taxes from us. How naive are you expecting a man-eating tiger to show mercy to you?" Another scholar also sneered.

"..." The common people couldn't say anything better than them, and they gradually fell silent.

Just when the two were about to make persistent efforts and continue to speak out, they suddenly saw a beggar leading a group of officers and soldiers over.

The two felt guilty for a while, and just about to rub the soles of their feet with oil, they heard Xiaoqi who led the team shout loudly: "Don't move!"

The two had no choice but to stand still, shrinking their necks and hiding in the crowd, not wanting to be noticed by the officers and soldiers.

"It's the two of them!" The beggar had sharp eyes, pointing at the two of them and said loudly: "There has been sowing discord."

"Come with us." Xiao Qi said to the two of them.

"Why, are you still not allowed to speak?" The goatee said sternly, "Don't you hear that 'Fangmin's mouth is better than Fangchuan'?"

"That's right, we didn't fight against the court, so it's illegal to chat a few words?" Another scholar also excitedly asked.

"Don't be afraid," Xiao Qi said calmly, "I'm not here to arrest you, but to send you to study classes."

"What study class?" The two were taken aback.

"I'll reform your thoughts." Xiao Qi didn't talk nonsense, he waved his hand and said, "Please, both of you."

Saying yes, four ferocious sergeants stood beside the two of them.They still dared to say half a word, so they could only follow along obediently with their heads downcast.

In fact, it's not just them, the down-and-out scholars in the county, Mr. Dong Hong, local hooligans, street sneakers, etc., who are most likely to be eccentric and spread rumors to confuse the public, etc., are also forced to gather together by the work team for off-the-job study .

I heard that people in the study class can take care of the meals without paying, and the common people are quite envious.I think they are capable, so they will be favored by the masters of the work team, and they will definitely be used in the future.

As everyone knows, His Royal Highness the King of Chu just thought that these people were easy to sing a different tune, adding resistance to the work team for no reason, so he locked them in the small black room first.

In fact, Lao Liu didn't expect to be able to reform their thinking.

He planned to wait until all the things that should be done were done, and then put the honest one back.It's really dishonest, send them directly to Chenzhou and Yongzhou, and let them go against Shengfan...

~~
The two His Royal Highnesses used both soft and hard methods, and basically cleared the obstacles and stumbling blocks. When the clearing work finally started, it was naturally carried out extremely smoothly.

In just one month, the clearing work of 20 mu of cultivated land in the whole county was completed, and a total of [-] mu of hidden land was found!
The work team even re-edited the account post along the way, without wasting any extra time.A total of [-] hidden households were found!

His Royal Highness the King of Chu took advantage of the opportunity to add these [-] hermit households and all the landowners of hermit fields to the immigration list.

After mastering the household registration data of the entire county, the work team then divided the lijia according to the actual situation, determined the head of the lijia according to the amount of rations, and arranged the order of service.

After all these tasks are done, the results will be recorded and compiled, and the yellow book of Dehua County will be completed.

Then, the work team went to neighboring counties non-stop, repeating the previous work...
