Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 797

[Chapter 797]

“Shuanzi’s father, your family has also been divided into six acres of land?”

Just like the man, there are already people waiting at the entrance of the village.

Seeing the man arrived, they immediately asked.

The man nodded, no need to ask, each of their families must be the same, they all gave six acres of land.

“I have three children, two of them have gone to the public, and they can recognize a lot of words.” Another humane said, with a proud face.

“My family was too busy planting winter wheat, and I was leading other people to help plant it. It is said that the villagers are called to help each other.” Another person said, full of sighs.

“In the village, Su Da’s family, after the Yanzhou army came, voluntarily handed over the family’s 30 acres of land. The Yanzhou officials didn’t make things difficult for him at all. It is said that he has borrowed money and built a cement factory. He is now richer than before. When you see me, you keep praising King Yan, do you think we are wrong.”

“…”

Everyone introduced the situation to each other for a while, constantly feeling emotional.

At this time, a person suddenly said: “We serve as Su Mian’s private soldiers, and he only gave us three acres of land each, so we have to pay another 30% to him. It’s better for an outsider to us than an outsider to us. You said that we followed him wholeheartedly, what are we doing?”

“They didn’t scare us, saying that King Yan is coming, we have nothing, they are just liars.” One person said angrily.

“Following them now is like a bereaved dog. Their own children eat and drink hot food. Have they ever taken care of us people with the same surname?”

“…” the

captives said, complaining to the rich family again.

Just as they were talking, the soldiers of the palace gathered again and came to them.

The leading soldier said: “I have seen what I should see, and I have said what I should say. Now I am going back to Baima County. If I want to go back, I will send you there. If I want to go home, I will help you go home.”

Hearing this, the prisoners were pleasantly surprised, and immediately some prisoners said excitedly, “I don’t want to pester us anymore. This is my home, and I don’t want to leave.”

Two-thirds of the prisoners who said this, and one-third chose to leave. There was silence.

“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 send you to Jiangbei.”

Zhao Xu was also there Well, yesterday he temporarily went to Yangcheng to rest and came early in the morning.

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

In his opinion, there are also ranks among the powerful soldiers.

First class, the top powerful and core clan members like Xie Duan, they will naturally not surrender.

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

The third class is the direct beneficiary who is attached to the wealthy family. Their family land property is not as good as that of the wealthy family, but they still have hundreds of acres.

The fourth class is the ordinary soldiers of the powerful clan. They are members of the same surname of the powerful and wealthy clans, but to the powerful and wealthy clans, they are just equivalent to poor relatives far away.

Life may not be better than ordinary people.

But some of them take the same surname and family 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 cursed: “You deserve the surname Zhao.”

After the fight, he suddenly came to his senses.

Many of these low-level powerful soldiers are Ah Q who is a great tribute, and they are still immersed in the mist that they are relatives of Master Zhao.

He just wanted to wake up these people’s confusion and tell them that their Master Zhao treated them so-so.

Therefore, seeing that one-third of the people did not want to stay, he was a little puzzled.

Many people are willing to be Ah Q.

“We didn’t go back to Jiangbei to fight with you. My eldest brother and second brother are still alive and dead. 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 terrier Rubbing his neck.

“Me too.”

“Me too.”

“…”

The remaining prisoners said one by one.

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

It turned out that he was wrong.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, a smile gradually blooming on his face.

His painstaking efforts were 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 come to their senses.

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

With a simple understanding of his strategy, Zhao Xu continued his journey to Yanzhou.

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

When he was in Pengcheng, he saw the three major banks that had already been put into use.

Like Yancheng, Pengcheng is currently planning a workshop area.

Some workshops that manufacture civilian goods have settled in the workshops.

In addition, the infrastructure construction of Pengcheng is also underway.

Some streets in Pengcheng are paved with smooth and clean concrete roads, and ditches are being excavated and bridges are being built in the countryside.

Continue northward from Pengcheng to Lucheng, Qizhou.

The development here is more complete than that of Pengcheng.

Compared with Pengcheng, the workshop area is not only larger in scale, but also has a more complete range of industries.

The dirt roads in the city have basically become cement roads.

Going further north into Yanzhou, the industrial atmosphere comes directly to the nostrils.

Even the county seat has traces of the steam industry, and many workshops here have installed steam engines.

In terms of roads, it is not limited to county towns and county towns. Cement roads between counties and counties are also being laid.

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

It is part of the imperial court’s plan to lead the canal to Yancheng.

Going all the way to Yancheng, he saw six steam excavators one after another.

On the outskirts of Yancheng, he saw a steam tractor in Guanzhuang.

It can be seen that during the time he was out fighting, everything in Jiangbei was developing in an orderly manner.

It’s a welcome change that comes as a pleasant surprise.

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

“Before His Highness came back, the news about His Royal Highness’s capture of Jinling was published in the newspapers. Whether it was common people, merchants, or veterans of the royal family, they all praised His Highness. It is said that the Emperor was so happy that he stayed up all night, saying that his son would be like the king of Yan. Now His Highness His prestige is really incomparable.” As soon as Zhao Xu returned to the palace, he was caught by Yang Susu and dragged to the bedroom.

It’s also asking for warmth, and it’s making people vomit lovesickness.

It’s like lovers who have been separated for a long time and are tired of being together.

After a while, while having supper prepared, she spoke beamingly of the praises of him in the newspapers.

When her man was praised, she naturally felt a little proud in her heart.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu laughed lightly.

Just as he expected, winning Jinling City was a carnival for the whole Jiangbei.

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

And when Chang Wei seized the entire southern part of Ningzhou and took control of the grain-producing areas, the lives of the powerful clans would be even more difficult.

The two were gossiping, when Feng’er came outside the door, pouted and said, “Your Highness, Xu Hark is begging to see you, really, His Highness has just come back, let His Highness rest for a while.”

Yang Susu said with a smile: ” Your Highness belongs to the people of the world, not just ours.” While speaking, he pinched Zhao Xu’s waist, his eyes were like water.

Zhao Xu chuckled a few times, knowing in his heart, “This king will come as soon as he goes.”

As soon as he came back, Xu Har was there, presumably he had some urgent information.
