After paying compensation, the Liu and Zhao families had already stopped and left in dejection, looking like a pack of defeated dogs. This was in sharp contrast to the previous days when they came to make trouble with great fanfare.
Lei Yangqiu was let go temporarily, and he didn't want to stay here for the rest of his life.
The onlookers did not disperse for a long time, still talking about the matter, communicating and sharing their excitement with each other.
The lives of most civilians in this world are hard and boring, struggling to make ends meet. Their biggest expectation is to save some money year after year, buy some fields, or find a good job for their children.
A way out, marry a good wife, etc.
Today's dramatic drama with twists and turns and climaxes is enough for them to remember for a lifetime.
The aunt, Gongsun Hui, took some sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law, and directed the servants to set up a porridge shed, cook some thick bacon porridge, and treat the common people to eat.
Today, these civilians, even the poor, seem to be just people who eat melon. But in fact, they are the most important part of Wang Shouzhe's plan today.
This meal was considered a banquet for them.
Common people, in the eyes of many young people from aristocratic families who have high esteem, are so humble and inconspicuous, as if they are ants that can be easily crushed to death.
But most aristocratic families cannot do without common people. Without common people to create wealth for them, how can the children of aristocratic families enjoy a luxurious life? And what can they use to buy precious cultivation resources?
And a single civilian may be inconspicuous, but once the number increases, the power of the civilians will gradually become very powerful. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of civilians, even Lingtai realm monks and dignified guardians like Lei Yangqiu dare not do whatever they want.
Recklessly.
Wang Shouzhe had a deep understanding of this in his previous life. Once the power of the melon-eating masses is gathered, it cannot be underestimated. Even a high-ranking family of gods and humans needs to rely on a large number of common people to survive.
Some little girls and young men in the Wang family also took the initiative to join in the work of cooking porridge, dividing porridge, and maintaining order.
This also includes two legitimate daughters, Wang Luoyi and Wang Luomiao.
Even Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luojing, who had just made great contributions to the family, were working seriously and showed no sign of disdain.
This makes Wang Shouzhe very happy. The children in our family have three views: righteousness. They will never feel that they are superior and separated from the world just because they have some force.
etc?
It seems like there's some weird stuff mixed in.
A stalwart man with a face like a pig's head sat on the ground in front of the porridge shed, drinking meat porridge in big mouthfuls. If one bowl was not enough, he would have another bowl. In the blink of an eye, he drank more than ten bowls.
This little guy!
Wang Shouzhe stepped forward and looked him up and down. He found that his injuries from the poisonous bee bites had actually improved a lot. His resilience was really amazing.
"Does it taste good?" Wang Shouzhe asked with a smile.
"It tastes good." Zhao Dingteng replied subconsciously. He looked up and saw Wang Shouzhe. He was frightened and hurriedly protected the bowl, as if he was afraid that Wang Shouzhe would snatch it away.
This made Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitch. Is this kid afraid in the wrong direction?
He is really a naive boy, but he is still quite cunning in battle. If Wang Luoqiu faced him? It's hard to say who will win or lose.
"That's all, eat more? Go home as soon as you're full." Wang Shouzhe waved his hand. With his magnanimity, he wouldn't care about a fourteen-year-old child with a naive mind.
Although this child looks like a child from top to bottom, he is only fourteen years old after all.
"The royal family leader? It's the royal family leader."
When the civilians saw Wang Shouzhe coming to the porridge shed, they immediately became extremely nervous. Many people's eyes were full of awe and admiration.
Today's battle has made the Wang family famous, but more importantly, it has made the Wang family leader famous.
"Everyone can eat as much as you like today until you are full." Wang Shouzhe greeted with a smile. "In the future, if you have a hard time in the jurisdiction of the Liu and Zhao clans, you can move to the jurisdiction of my Wang clan. In the jurisdiction of our Wang clan,
At least we can live and work in peace and contentment. Once there is a disaster, I, the Wang family, will work with everyone to tide over the difficulties."
As soon as Wang Shouzhe said these words, many people were immediately moved. Compared to the Liu and Zhao families who were aloof and vicious, the Wang family seemed to be a real aristocratic family.
If I could live under the protection of the Wang family, I would feel much more at ease.
"Chief of the Royal Family, my family's fields, houses and houses are all in the village." A farmer in tattered clothes said, "If we move, we won't be able to take our fields with us."
Yeah yeah.
Many people responded one after another. They wanted to migrate, but faced many practical difficulties. Everyone was a little disappointed and annoyed.
Among these thousands of civilians, there are also people from the area under the jurisdiction of the Wang family.
As soon as he heard this kind of thing, he immediately felt a sense of superiority. One of the young people in his twenties said: "How much are your shabby houses worth? Only the houses and land under the jurisdiction of our Wang family are worth
, is more valuable.”
When the people outside the jurisdiction heard that they gave up, they became angry and said: "Why is it not valuable? They can produce food and live in the same place."
The young man said arrogantly: "You know nothing, our Wang family has a spiritual insect master. With a little care this year, the yield of our land has only been reduced by 50%."
The other "Wang natives" began to respond to the young man, saying that what he said was true. On average, each household had reduced production by 50%.
The spiritual insect master only reduced production by 50% and only took care of it slightly.
The farmers outside the area under Wang's jurisdiction were silent. Aren't there 20% more farmers within Wang's area than they did for nothing this season?
If they could get an extra 20% of their harvest, they should still have a lot of surplus after paying for the food, so they wouldn't have to borrow food from everywhere to survive the disaster and be bullied by aristocratic families.
For a time, the "foreign yeoman farmers" all looked enviously at the locals.
"Not only that, when our Wang family collects taxes on behalf of the government, the tax belonging to the aristocratic family can be directly deducted at par. This year we have passed the disaster with ease." The young man said with a proud face: "We are the only ones.
At home, we now have more than 20 loads of food left."
During the harvest season in previous years, having twenty dans of extra food at home would not be considered very wealthy.
But this is a disaster year!
When the foreign farmers heard this number, their eyes turned red. Your family is so rich, why do you still come to share porridge with us?
"Not only that, I have a buddy in the Wang family's branch, and he revealed top-secret information to me. This year, the Wang family is not prepared. When the next season starts, all the fields in our Wang family's territory can be managed by spiritual insect masters and exterminated.
The effect is better, and the consumption is only half of that of insecticide powder." The young man said mysteriously again.
Half of the pest control powder?
Isn't that... one acre of land can be saved a year? If your family has 20 acres of land, you can save 20 tons of copper a year just by investing in insecticides. This is several loads of food!
The foreign yeoman farmers were completely discouraged and felt that compared to the Wang yeoman farmers, they were simply a few inches lower.
"Young man, are you married?" A foreign farmer thought quickly and said with a smile, "We have two girls in our family, one is sixteen and the other is fourteen. We can have a good chat."
"We also have a daughter in our family, who happens to be fifteen years old this year."
A group of yeoman farmers with daughters at home surrounded the young man like wolves and tigers, promoting their daughters and even talking about the bride price.
The young man was frightened and his face turned red.
In the past, my family's conditions were average, with little savings and not enough houses to build. I asked a matchmaker several times to propose marriage, but when people saw his conditions, they would simply shake their heads and refuse.
Or simply open your mouth to the lion and ask for a huge betrothal gift.
He is nineteen years old and has not yet found a wife. Now, fortunately, just because of his status as a farmer in the land under the jurisdiction of the Wang family, those farmers from outside the family are actually rushing to marry their daughters to him, and some of them are even willing to pay money.
.
In an instant, the young man felt that he had suddenly reached the peak of his life.
Seeing this scene, Wang Shouzhe was also smiling.
Unexpectedly, the household registration in the Wang family's jurisdiction began to be valuable. But this is what it should be. The prices of properties and houses in different places are not the same.
For example, some properties and houses in Changningwei are naturally much more expensive than those in Ping'an Town. Even if the output and taxes are the same, the civilians there have a safer life due to Changningwei.
What's more, going to the city occasionally is more convenient than the civilians in Ping'an Town, and the interpersonal relationships are more complicated. Many middle peasants and rich peasants there will send their children to study in the city, or let their second sons learn a subject to make money.
craftsmanship.
No wonder.
More than a hundred years ago, Ping'an Town was still a barbaric land. If it weren't for the common people who were not living a good life, how could they migrate to a place like Ping'an Town?
However, after this period, the price of farm products in Ping'an Town may change.
"Don't worry, everyone." Wang Shouzhe said loudly, "I believe you have heard that our Wang family is dredging and filling soil to open up farmland. Those future farmlands will be fertile fields with silt-based fertilizer. Our Wang family will soon launch
, the pioneering field replacement plan, and the field pre-purchase plan.”
"Futian" replacement plan?
What the hell is that? This is a word that countless civilians have never heard of.
"To put it simply, you are replacing the farm buildings that you currently have under the jurisdiction of the Liu and Zhao clans with our newly opened fields and houses." Wang Shouzhe narrowed his eyes, "Of course, because the land cannot be obtained for the time being, we need one.
There is a cycle of about two years, so it is called land transfer. However, currently we only accept internal workers involved in the development project for land replacement. If you plan to move our Wang family's territory, this is the only way for now."
The foreign peasants were silent for a while.
But soon someone jumped out and said: "Change, why not change. Damn it, I've had enough of those sons of bitches from the Zhao family over the years."
"Change, as long as the Wang family pays us wages and doesn't let us starve to death. Isn't it just two years of hard work? Let's change."
"I believe in the Wang family, and I believe that the head of the royal family will not let us suffer. Let's change."
Changes were made one after another. The farmers were not stupid, they were naturally shrewd. Although it seemed like they were suffering a loss, in fact if this continued, the household registration in Wang's territory would become more and more valuable.
"The detailed replacement plan will be launched in the near future. Please pay attention to our Wang family's publicity." After Wang Shouzhe whetted his appetite, he turned and left.
Not far away, the Liu brothers and sisters followed again, both looking at Wang Shouzhe with strange eyes.
"Yuanrui, sister Ruolei." Wang Shouzhe was so frightened by their looks that he raised his hands and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"High, really high." Liu Yuanrui gave a thumbs up, praised twice, raised his hands and said, "Brother Shouzhe's plan is really wonderful. Yuanrui's admiration for Brother Shouzhe is like this Anjiang
The water is endless. Not only does it benefit oneself, it also kills the enemy invisible."
Wang Shouzhe was left speechless by him.
"Little brother, I can see that there is self-interest, how can there be no invisible killing?" Liu Ruolei asked curiously.
"Self-interest is obvious. Brother Shouzhe needs a large number of manpower for such a huge project. Using the method of replacing farmland to involve a large number of farmers in the project is tantamount to leveraging others' strength. In the end, those manpower will
The city will be transformed into a land of yeoman farmers under the Wang family."
"Secondly, the farmland that the Wang family replaced was originally in the territory of the Liu and Zhao families. With a little integration and replacement, private farms can be established in the enemy's hinterland and the land will be owned by the Wang family."
"The most powerful thing is that now the trend of migrating the Wang family has taken shape, and many people are eager to join the Wang family's jurisdiction. Brother Shouzhe only needs to operate step by step, and the territories of the Liu and Zhao families will become smaller and smaller, and the civilians will be under their jurisdiction.
The number will also decrease sharply.”
"In an invisible vicious circle, the Liu and Zhao families will become increasingly weak and unable to compete with the Wang family. Sooner or later, there will be two words: destruction!"
Liu Yuanrui's explanation made Liu Ruolei's eyes sparkle and she praised: "Brother Shouzhe is really a god, and my sister is really lucky."
"Well……"
Wang Shouzhe touched his nose. It seemed that he was not as complicated as Liu Yuanrui thought just now. He was just trying to solve the problem of labor shortage. He didn't want to really come up with a century-old plan.
But this future brother-in-law is really smart. From what he said, this plan seems to be pretty good.
Also, Ruolei, can you please stop talking to me with this look and tone? This made Wang Shouzhe feel a little hairy in his heart.
At this moment.
An angry voice sounded out: "Um, everyone, let me ask you this. Are we, the Zhao family, really that annoying?"
Zhao Dingteng!
Wang Shouzhe glanced at him and found that most of the toxin bumps on his face had disappeared. He was speechless. This idiot's physical recovery power is really terrible!
Liu Ruolei and Liu Yuanrui also stared at Zhao Dingteng with strange eyes.
What kind of bad reputation does your Zhao family have? Don't you, a naive boy, take note of it yourself?
