Chapter 281 Sweeping the South of Youzhou

"What are you?"

Gao Huaide stared at the sons of the Shen family, as if a god was looking down at an ant.

The Shen family came quickly, and quickly cried bitterly, wiped their tears, slapped their mouths hard, and scolded: "We are not things, we are crazy, we are not as good as beasts... Please give us kindness, let us spare us, I, we are willing to offer all our property, just to live!"

"Yes, the old man is finally over. He saved a lot of money, all in the cellar. I'll take it out and give it to the general!"

The third son of the Shen family stood up and was about to run back. Gao Huaide suddenly stabbed a spear and stabbed it from behind. The spear head was exposed in front of him. Gao Huaide used one arm to lift Shen San into the air.

This guy is not dead yet, he keeps struggling with his hands and feet.

Gao Huaide gritted his teeth, "Betrayed his ancestors, was unfaithful to the court, and was unfilial to his father. You are not worthy of living in the world!" He threw Chen San's body out and threw it directly on the steps, his head broke.

The others were frightened and wanted to escape. Gao Huaide was not polite at all. He was swift and the other brothers of the Shen family were all spared. The key points were all filled with wounds as big as fists, blood was squirting wildly, and no one was alive and all fell to the ground.

After killing a few guys, Gao Huaide was still unhappy and didn't even recognize his own father. It turned out that he was a beast, so why are you still alive?

He brought Chen Henan's son-in-law and grandson, and killed all of them without leaving any one!

Dozens of people from the Shen family were piled up at the entrance of the village, with blood flowing. Everyone was hideous and terrifying. The original Shen family's gangs and tenants ran out.

They stared at the Shen family's corpse from afar, all showing an incredible expression.

Dead, the Shen family is actually dead?

God, it's really effective!

Many people were lying on the ground and cried bitterly, crying loudly.

To them, the Shen family was simply a dark cloud on their heads.

The Shen family usually boasted that they were deeply trusted by the Khitans, and the Khitans had hundreds of thousands of cavalry that the Central Plains court could not stop, and they had the support of the Khitans.

Whoever opposes the Shen family or whoever opposes the Khitan will definitely die without a place to bury!

The Shen family did kill many people by relying on cruel means.

The common people gradually accepted their fate, and officials protected each other. Who can beat the Shen family with such a big force?

Unfortunately, I was born in this world because I did the evil in my previous life and I never paid it back in this life!

The people are numb. They have been tortured by life so far. Numbness is also a kind of self-protection. Finally one day, there is a strong force, with the courage to move forward, the wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, sweeping across the dark clouds!

The seemingly invincible Shen family collapsed and disappeared in an instant, everyone died, and the corpse was right in front of them. Such power was simply comparable to the heavenly soldiers and generals, and it was the power of heaven!

After Gao Huaide defeated the Shen family, Li Yueyin came with the Killing Hu team.

He did not come to kill people, but to impose the land.

Li Yueyin has a good knowledge and has lived in Yanyun for many years. He knows the suffering of the people. He communicates with everyone and makes it easier for the people to believe... Li Yueyin followed Ye Hua's intention and took out all the Shen family's property.

Each people have one stone of grain, three households and one ox, and the rest of the hoes, sickles, and shovels are all divided equally, and even pots and pans are not spared... Finally, and most importantly, real estate and land.

Every ordinary person can obtain one hundred acres of land.

Then, every ten households will elect one chief, and the chief will receive an additional fifty acres of land to manage the people. Every ten households will elect one chief, and the chief will receive one hundred acres of land as a salary.

In each mile, ten young and strong men need to be transferred to form militias to maintain order in peacetime and to do things for the court in wartime. Each militia can get an additional twenty acres of land!

Moreover, this time, the land distribution is specifically stipulated that women and children over five years old, regardless of gender, will be calculated based on a single person, with each person being 100 acres!

Such division will definitely not work in the Central Plains, but Yanyun experienced wars, had a sparse population and vast land. Even if he had such division, there were still many wastelands.

Moreover, Ye Hua used powerful means to clean up the gentry and wealthy families, take away all their land, and distribute it to the people, and it was more than enough. Women must be used as men!

As for the remaining wasteland, after the war is over, the water conservancy project will be slightly renovated and it will become fertile fertile land.

So many people bought bonds, and Ye Hua even pointed to the land to pay off his debts!

Ye Hua even considered that in the future, merchants should be encouraged to go to Yanyun to farm, produce more grain, and supply the front line of the Great Wall nearby. In short, this time, no matter what, we must fight to the Great Wall and completely take the Khitans to the grassland!

In the past, Ye Hua often heard people complain that the people were tricky and that no matter how many benefits they gave, it was useless. But if you actually inquire, it was nothing more than reducing or exempting some harsh taxes. There was no big difference at all. Life was still difficult. Some officials helped the people solve several cases and felt that they were the master of Qingtian.

The people will certainly be grateful, but it would be too narcissistic to expect them to give their hearts to the court!

Everything has a degree.

Only when the equal-field order is implemented, the people have indeed obtained the land contract. The whole situation has completely changed, and the numb people have begun to awaken...

Take Shenjiazhai as an example.

More than 200 households gathered together, and the public recommended the security chief and the village chief.

"Friends, the Great Zhou Dynasty has implemented the land grant order in the Central Plains. Many poor people like you have lived a good life with their efforts over the past few years. Over the past thousand years, the land acres are the hope of many people. But there are really not many opportunities, and you are lucky. I can tell you that as long as the royal army of the court is in one day, no one can overthrow the land. On the contrary, if the Khitans come back and those gentry and clans come back, can they watch their land be taken away by you? So fellow villagers, I hope everyone will think clearly that this time, the election of the security chief and the village chief must be honest and willing to work, kind-hearted, and will not bully everyone casually. And we must not be in a relationship with the Khitans. We must choose reliable people, and this is also for your sake!"

After Li Yueyin finished speaking, he sent the beans to everyone, and each person had one. Whoever wanted to be the chief of security should stand up. Everyone had a jar under their feet, and the common people threw beans in their own hands. If the number of beans was more than half and no one had any objections, they could become the chief of security.

Li Yueyin's heart was in his throat. He didn't even know whether the people could understand the rules. He was very afraid that the people would make random choices and it would be difficult to deal with them.

The audience was silent for a quarter of an hour, no one spoke or even breathed. They just stared at a black bean in their hand, as if there was a similar world inside.

Finally, a little old man stood up. He was very thin and black, with his back arched. He stood in front of the big guy, without saying anything, and suddenly tore open his coarse cloth clothes, revealing his bony ribs. He pointed to the scars on his body and said to the big guy: "See, these are all beaten by the Khitan dogs! They recruited the civilians and asked us to carry food to the grassland. More than 20 people were exhausted, and more than ten people were on the road! I came back alive. I am now a member of the Great Zhou court! The court treats us well. Even if I have fought my life this time, I will not be a dog for the Khitan!"

After the old man finished speaking, he tried hard to straighten his bent chest and stood with his head held high.

Finally, some people stood up one after another and threw their black beans into the old man's jar, one, two... six, seven!

With one from the old man, he got eight beans and became the first security chief!

Others also followed suit, and after fierce competition, they finally selected twenty-three security chiefs.

According to the rules, among the twenty-three security chiefs, two rural chiefs are required to be issued.

The enthusiasm of the people was rising. The bonfire illuminated everyone's faces. Everyone spoke freely and recommended the people they valued. Finally, after the competition, one old and one young became the village chief of Shenjiazhai.

The young man was only eighteen years old and was very shy, but anyone who knew him knew that this kid was a famous hunter. He had excellent archery skills and had shot a tiger to death!

Everyone recommended him out in the hope that he could lead everyone to protect the hard-won land. Obviously, the people knew it.

After discussing with Li Yueyin, the two village chiefs chose overnight. They only needed to choose twenty people, but they selected fifty-six people!

Even some strong women were yelling to participate.

Women in the north are not delicate at all. They are tall and generous, and work in the fields, no worse than men. This time the court gave them land, so they had to do things for the court.

Thank you for your kindness!

The reason is that simple, not complicated at all.

Li Yueyin was so happy that his Hu Killing Team had grown stronger, but there were so many young and strong laborers available, which was really gratifying.

Li Yueyin kept moving forward to the next place.

The militias from Shenjiazhai immediately mobilized and dispatched with their troops.

The enthusiasm of the people can ignite people!

They took the initiative to persuade, inquire about the news, and eliminated the landlords and powerful people. Anyone who did things for the Khitan and bullied the people would not have a good ending.

After dealing with the scourge, the militia in Shenjiazhai were like teachers, telling others how to divide the land, how to elect the limelight chief, and how to organize the militia.

Li Yueyin even felt that the people were pushing him to do things, so he could not help but slack off.

After half a month of besieging the city, Zhuozhou raised a white flag and announced its surrender.

For the first time, Ye Hua did not kill anyone, but gave five days to let the people in the city, as well as officials and gentry, escape to Youzhou... These people were as if they were amnesty, and quickly took gold, silver and soft, and took their families and their families to escape wildly.

The Great Zhou successfully took over Zhuozhou, and then the Great Zhou successively took over the new city, Gu'an, Anci, Yongqing and Wuqing... The entire south of Youzhou was completely in the hands of the Great Zhou.

The best thing is that after taking such a large territory, according to past experience, we must divide our troops to prevent the people from causing trouble. Doing so will inevitably disperse our troops, and the Khitans are waiting for this!
