After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Ma Qiang smiled coldly: "There are thirty or forty thousand of us, I don't believe we can't capture this city. If that guy is willing to let us enter the city, that's fine. If not...hehe...I will take people in and kill everyone inside!"

Wang Xingye was calm. He seemed to be a scholar. Although he was described as embarrassed, he seemed more gentle and calm than others. After listening to everyone's opinions, he slowly said: "This is a last resort. Attacking the city will inevitably lead to casualties. Everyone is just for a bite of food, and no one is willing to really fight for it. In addition, the city wall of Lan County is tens of feet long, and we don’t have ladders or hooks. If we force the city to attack, there will only be constant casualties. "

Ma Qiang couldn't stand Wang Xingye's slowness in everything, so he immediately said: "Now that we have come here, we are neither advancing nor retreating. Are we just waiting for the arrangement of the pretty boy on the wall?"

Wang Xingye said: "Don't worry, let's see what he says later. Since he didn't say everything, there should be room for change. It all depends on how we respond."

"Damn it!" Ma Qiang stood up and kicked away the stones on the ground, somewhat furious. "If I hadn't heard someone say that there is food here in Lan County, why would I have walked such a long mountain road to come here? Anyway, I don't care, I will definitely enter Lan County today! If it doesn't work, ten of us will directly kidnap the man after entering the city. The pretty boy asked the soldiers to open the city wall. I have just observed it. I don’t know who the pretty boy is, but he is definitely not a showman. The people under him respect him very much, so his head must be valuable!"

"Brother Qiang is right! We're all going to die anyway, so why not fuck him!"

Wang Xingye shook his head, but said nothing more.

When a scholar encounters soldiers, he cannot explain his reasoning clearly. He does not want to argue with these reckless men.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the figure on the city wall appeared again, and then I heard the young man on the city wall shouting to the iron loudspeaker: "Everyone, we have temporarily decided to start giving porridge in the evening! As for the matter of entering the city, please invite the ten representatives of the refugees. Let’s talk about entering the city! All other refugees should move back one kilometer!”

The refugees looked at Xu Zhenying blankly, but no one made any move.

They seemed to have completely become a zombie.

"When will you step back, and when will we start making porridge!"

This sentence finally had a positive effect. When the words "cook porridge" were heard, there was finally a slight reaction in the confused and empty eyes of the refugees.

Everyone walked back slowly, splashing dust all over the ground.

Soon, the city gate opened, and Ma Qiang led people into the city gate.

The city gate slowly closed, and it was quite cool to walk in the corridor.

There was already a person waiting at the city gate.

The man was tall and thin, with shoulders and waist, and carried a long sword at his waist. He stood there in silence, the sun falling on his shoulders, calm and powerful, and the catkins next to him seemed not to dare to disturb him, and could only fall at his feet.

What a handsome young man!

Jiang Yongkang raised his chin slightly and uttered four words coldly, "Drop the weapon."

Ma Qiang was furious and was about to curse, but was stopped by Wang Xingye. He whispered in his ear: "Don't be arrogant. We are begging others now, not others begging us. Now we are afraid of each other, so don't make things more complicated."

Ma Qiang cursed and dropped his weapon.

Xu Zhenying was waiting for them not far away.

She even playfully joked with Sun Qingchen behind her: "Master Sun, do you think this scene looks familiar to you?"

Sun Qingchen snorted coldly, "As things change, maybe you Xu Zhenying will be my next Sun Qingchen."

But Xu Zhenying laughed and said, "Master Sun, you really can't take a joke at all. Is it possible that I haven't treated you well enough? Have I hurt you or your family since I came to the city?"

Sun Qingchen glanced at her and scolded this woman for being so shameless, but said: "What you did is a thousand times more abominable than them. They killed people, but you killed people."

"It seems that Mr. Sun misunderstood me deeply." Xu Zhenying smiled, completely ignoring Sun Qingchen's anger, which also made Sun Qingchen even more annoyed.

Nothing is more infuriating than being angry when someone ignores you.

Especially being fucked by a young girl.

Just like Xu Zhenying, she had never taken him, Sun Qingchen, seriously. In her eyes, his anger was just the anger of a child.

Xu Zhenying stood up and greeted the ten refugee representatives.

And those ten people all looked at her curiously.

so small.

So childish.

Why is this Lan County... in the hands of a childish pretty boy like him?

But seeing how respectful the people around her were, they couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so naturally they didn't dare to take it seriously.

Only Wang Xingye asked: "When did the Zhou Dynasty have such a young county magistrate?"

Xu Zhenying pointed at Sun Qingchen behind him and said with a smile: "This is a serious county magistrate."

Sun Qingchen gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Zhenying fiercely, wishing he could grab a knife and poke a few transparent holes in her.

"But he's working for me now."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Zhenying smiled slightly, "Because I am a refugee just like you. Four months ago, we captured this city and occupied the mountain as king——"

As soon as Xu Zhenying said these words, the expressions of the ten people immediately changed!

They never expected that the pretty boy in front of them was also a refugee!

But they were also wondering, how did he capture Lan County?

Now no one dared to look down upon him anymore, even Ma Qiang calmed down slightly.

These people still have one thought in their minds, that is, it’s over.

They're afraid they won't be able to enter this Lan County.

They are all refugees, how could they accept so many people into the city?

Xu Zhenying looked around, took in everyone's expressions, and then said slowly: "But you don't have to worry. Since I asked you to go to the city to discuss it in detail, I naturally have other arrangements. As I said, you guys have to go to the city to talk about it in detail." Don’t think about it——”

Seeing everyone's expressions change drastically, Xu Zhenying said quickly: "Don't argue for now, wait until I finish! Think about it for yourselves, how will you settle the thirty or forty thousand of you after entering the city? How will you manage it? Let's not talk about the food problem first, you come in Where will you live in the future? Can you control the people under your command not to harass the people of Lan County? Entering the city is not the best solution for me or you."

Ma Qiang was about to curse again, but was stopped by Wang Xingye. He hurriedly asked: "Since the city lord also said that there are other arrangements, may I ask what the arrangements are?"

Xu Zhenying raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at the speaker.

If she read correctly, although Ma Qiang was the leader of this trip, it was Wang Xingye who actually controlled the pace of negotiations.

This person is calm, cautious, observant, and calm——

Yes, it is a good leek worth cultivating!

Xu Zhenying immediately fell in love with this leek. If such a strong man could be caught, he would be a ready source of labor!

"Although you are not allowed to enter the city, you are allowed to camp outside the city wall. We will try our best to provide all the supplies. At the same time, we will provide two meals of gruel every day until we have no food in Lan County. But during this period, you have to Keep your people under control and don’t cause trouble.”

The refugee representatives were shocked again. They thought that entering the city this time was absolutely impossible. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Xu Zhenying actually agreed to provide food!

A group of people were overjoyed and seemed unable to believe what Xu Zhenying had just said. But only Wang Xingye looked solemn.

Xu Zhenying's words made him suspicious. He really couldn't believe why Xu Zhenying had to feed so many of them even though food was in short supply.

These are thousands of people!

It is impossible for Lan County to have so much food!

"Seriously?!" Ma Qiang almost jumped up with joy, "If you are willing to give us food, we will naturally not cause trouble!"

Wang Xingye stared directly at Xu Zhenying, "City Lord, I will give you food for thirty or forty thousand people as long as you ask. I dare to ask, what is your intention?"

Xu Zhenying was a little surprised by Wang Xingye's acumen.

When this huge pie fell, only Wang Xingye didn't get dizzy. Being able to remain calm in the face of temptation is enough for her to take a high look.

Very good, she picked this leek.

Ma Qiang was afraid that Xu Zhenying would regret or get angry, so he quickly cursed: "Wang Xingye, you are a fucking fool, aren't you? The city lord saved our lives with a kind heart, but why are you guarding others like a thief? Follow me quickly. The city lord apologizes!"

Wang Xingye glanced at Ma Qiang, as if he disliked this pig teammate very much. He did not argue with him, but continued to press Xu Zhenying: "No reward for no merit, please ask the city lord to clear up the confusion so that I can feel at ease."

"Okay!" Xu Zhenying smiled slightly, as if he admired Wang Xingye very much, "Since you asked, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth! The little emperor is dead, the chieftains of Qianzhou are causing trouble again, and the Jinzhou Prefecture is still here because of last year's flood. Their vitality has been severely damaged, so I estimate that the southwest will not be stable for a few years. What if people from Qianzhou come over, or bandits and bandits attack? Because of this, I urgently need Expand the manpower, we are all refugees in Jinzhou Prefecture, so in troubled times, it is natural that we should join the team to keep warm."

"The little emperor is dead?"

Everyone present was shocked. Even everyone in the Xu family had just learned the news. Sun Qingchen had already rushed towards Xu Zhenying, but was held down by Jiang Yongkang. Sun Qingchen screamed at the top of his lungs: "You traitor and traitor, how dare you curse?" I am facing the emperor! Do you want to rebel?! Let me tell you, I have already sent someone to deliver a message, and the Jinzhou Prefecture will soon send troops to exterminate you. Don’t let the traitors be proud!"

Xu Zhenying walked condescendingly to Sun Qingchen and said slowly: "Sending a letter? Do you mean the letter requesting Jinzhou Prefecture to send troops? Oh, I forgot to tell you, that letter is already in my hand. But Mr. Sun also uses Don't be angry, it doesn't matter whether you send this letter or not, because the adults in the court are worried about who they want to be the emperor for, and the Jinzhou Mansion may not be able to spare anyone to deal with me, a rebellious minister and traitor."

"Also, the young emperor is not the late emperor's biological son. Zhu Ci has been beheaded by Prince Gong. Empress Zhu was also executed for adultery. The emperor was also burned by fire from the sky until only a skeleton was left. There is no more Zhu in the Zhou Dynasty. Family is the word." Xu Zhenying's words were cold and cold, like a drum beating on everyone's hearts. "Now the Zhou Dynasty is leaderless. It is estimated that the officials will have to quarrel for a year and a half over who should be the emperor. Not to mention that there are other The remaining seven vassal kings are on their way to Beijing, and a bloody storm is inevitable. So I say that the Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos for at least three to five years—"

Xu Zhenying ignored Sun Qingchen, who was struck by lightning, and said to the remaining people: "Even if we are far away in the southwest, we cannot avoid the fate of ants. It is conceivable that in the next ten years, the Zhou Dynasty will definitely be full of heroes fighting for supremacy, taxation, taxation, The corvee has intensified, wars have become more frequent, and people have become homeless. War is more terrifying than the plague. Weak people like you and me should stay together for warmth, otherwise we will soon die in this troubled world."

Not only Sun Qingchen, but everyone in the Xu family was also shocked by this shocking news.

But Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo's expressions were extremely complicated.

The enemy's whole family is dead, they should be happy.

But when they think about the next trajectory of the Zhou Dynasty, they cannot be happy no matter what.

But Xu Yinxi looked at Xu Zhenying who was speaking.

No wonder…

Many things suddenly seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

No wonder she wants to absorb so many people, no wonder she wants Feng'er and Xu Huiming to open up business lines, no wonder she wants to farm and train troops, no wonder she keeps promoting education for all...

Sixth sister, what do you want to do?

Do you just want to protect yourself, or do you want to... compete in the world...

Xu Yinxi's heart was beating wildly. She thought of some possibility and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't even dare to breathe or even look into the man's eyes——

Sixth sister, you...you...

But it was difficult for the Xu family to accept it. After all, they were exiled because of Uncle Zhu Guo. Now that their enemy was dead, they were even more panicked.

This panic comes from the fact that once the emperor dies, only Prince Ming is qualified to succeed to the throne. However, Prince Ming himself rebels and is afraid that the throne will not be passed on to him.

The late emperor had so many brothers and nephews, and now that the dragon position is vacant, I am afraid that he will really fight to the death.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is really going to be in chaos——

With this knowledge, everyone had a heavy look on their face, except for the refugees here who showed no expression at all.

They were starving, their stomachs were full of grass roots and tree bark, and they couldn't even get enough to eat. Who cares who becomes the emperor?

Anyway, they have no money, no food, no land. Who becomes the emperor? What difference does it make to them?

In short, they were extremely happy when they heard Xu Zhenying said that he was willing to help them. As for what happened in the court, they didn't even want to hear about it.

Only Wang Xingye had a look of despair and pain on his face.

He seemed to quickly digest this negative emotion and turned to think about the present, "Then the city lord means that if we eat your food, then tens of thousands of us will have to be used by you and charge into battle for you? Two people a day? For a meal of gruel and for buying our lives, the city lord’s deal is too good a deal, isn’t it?”

Xu Yinxi on the side said sarcastically: "In the past, when we entered the city, a girl only sold a bucket of rice, and the girls in our team were still rushing to sell themselves. How likely is it to charge into the battle? But you will definitely eat our food. Things. Exchanging an absolute for a possibility, who do you think is the best deal in this deal?"

Wang Xingye's face turned slightly red when Xu Yinxi said it, and he bit his lower lip lightly, but he still cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong and misunderstood the city lord."

"It's more than just a misunderstanding! You have no idea how much pressure the city lord is under to help you. Jinzhou Prefecture has been severely affected by the disaster this year, and every county has a shortage of food. Lan County has already accommodated our group of refugees, plus you guys Batch, do you really think that Lan County is a house of gold and a treasury? To tell you the truth, only the city lord agrees with the matter of giving out porridge, and all the rest of us disagree! If you compare your feelings, who is too poor to open the pot? Do you want to help the beggars on the roadside?"

Wang Xingye was really ashamed and speechless this time.

Xu Zhenying laughed in her heart and secretly praised Xu Yinxi.

The effect of one being the red face and the other being the bad face was really good. Seeing that Wang Xingye was speechless, he could only apologize again and again.

Ma Qiang, on the other hand, looked calm.

Xu Zhenying saw that all the refugee representatives were silent. In order to encourage everyone's enthusiasm and quietly pull them onto the rebel ship, Xu Zhenying began to draw a pie: "Actually, you came at just the right time. The previous group of refugees are... Carry out land division work. If you agree with what I am doing, or want to stay for a long time, then you can also help us open up wasteland. If you perform well after opening up wasteland, you can stay and become a real citizen of Lan County. Oh, By the way, it’s the kind that divides fields!”

These words immediately made the representatives who were still resentful just now become excited as if they were intoxicated, "Dividing the fields?? City Lord, are you telling the truth?"

"How can we tell? You are not the county magistrate!"

Xu Zhenying smiled, "Although I am not the county magistrate, the county magistrate is in my hands, and the treasure book and jade seal are also in my hands. As long as we open up wasteland, enter the book, and stamp the seal, we will be considered kings. When I come, it’s all your land!”

The representatives were so excited that their faces turned red.

For the refugees who have lost their fields and homes, the most precious thing is a place to stay. Now that they have divided their fields and built houses, they are no longer considered refugees, they are now upright farmers!

They no longer have to wander around, slash and burn, and live a life that is no different from the wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

Fang Xun also continued: "Not only that, our city lord is also preparing to popularize education for all, that is, to gather all the children above five and below ten years old, hire teachers for them to enlighten them, and provide them with a meal every day .”

These words made even Wang Xingye look at Xu Zhenying in disbelief.

The teacher who educates children in rural households spends a few hundred words a month at home, but Xu Zhenying gathers all the children together for free enlightenment?

This Xu Zhenying... what is he trying to do?

Could it be that this Lan County is really some kind of paradise?

Wang Xingye still couldn't believe that a pie fell from the sky like this. Even if Xu Zhenying said that they would stay together to stay warm and resist the troubled times in the near future, would Xu Zhenying be able to do this at his own expense?

Wang Xingye expressed deep doubts, but for a while he couldn't find any point to refute.

Chapter 162 has been banned, and I have been applying to be unblocked... It should be released now
