Chapter 249
At noon the next day, meal time.

In the flat land outside the city of Cangshan County, there were many people who did not know when.

All of them were sallow and emaciated, and dressed in rags.

"Generals, is there really food here?" Smelling the strong aroma of rice, someone leaned over with a strong stomach.

The others looked at the shining swords in the hands of the soldiers in Dingxi. Although they dared not speak, they stretched their necks one by one, their eyes burning.

"Yes!" Lei Long waved his hand, "Come here, serve meals to the folks."

The soldiers behind hurriedly carried out all the porridge and broth, and laid them out for a long way.

hum~
The eyes of the common people brightened, and with infinite strength, they crowded over in a swarm.

"Line up, line up first. Everyone is there, don't squeeze!"

After a long time, every commoner had something to eat.Although I can't fill my stomach, I finally have something to eat, and I can support it for a while.

When they looked at Lei Long and the others one by one, their eyes were filled with gratitude and kindness.

"This general, I have an elderly father who can't get out of bed. I don't know..." Another person asked timidly, "Can you give me an extra bowl of porridge? If my father has nothing to eat, he will..."

As he spoke, the man's tears rolled down his face.

"Of course." Huang Ming quickly came over to serve the man a bowl of porridge, and personally sent him away, before turning around and asking, "Are you all the people in the city?"

Everyone nodded, "Yes."

The younger or stronger people in the city either went to the mountains to beg for food, or were caught by the current city lord to block the gunholes ahead.

Now Cangshan County is mostly full of old, weak, sick and disabled people like them, who can't get food at all.It can be said that everyone has been hungry for several days.

Lei Long asked a few more words, and continued to ask his subordinates to distribute porridge to those in need.

The common people were as happy as the new year, and many people even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the soldiers.

Lei Long stepped aside quickly.

However, there were too many people kneeling on the ground, and he could support one but not the other.

"Fathers and folks, please get up!"

"Everyone, be patient for a few days. The imperial court's anti-insurgency army has already reached Shannan County in front, and it will be here soon."

"Once the rebellious army in the city is wiped out, the imperial court will redistribute the land to the people. From now on, everyone can live with peace of mind."

hum~
Although Xiao Zhu on the wooden pagoda has been promoting the new policy of the imperial court, his mouth is dry.However, everyone will be skeptical.

Hearing what Lei Long said with his own ears at this time, the eyes of the people became brighter again.

"General, will Chaoyan really give us back the land?" Some people were still skeptical, "I don't want much or any fertile land. I just want to return the original part of my family's mountain land."

Thunder Dragon nodded.

He cupped his hands towards the northeast: "To say something disrespectful. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Our Laigu is far away from the imperial capital. The court and His Majesty know nothing about the mess that happened before."

"Later, the imperial court discovered that something was wrong here, and His Majesty quickly sent His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince over to verify the situation."

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince said that he mainly does three things when he comes to Laigu."

"One, arrest and kill all corrupt officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, do evil, and exploit the people. Second, return all the land that belongs to the people to everyone. At the same time, distribute seeds for everyone to cultivate. Third, reduce all people for three years taxation..."

The people pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

To them, killing corrupt officials and embezzling history is just a bit of anger. When they heard that not only the land can be taken back, but also the seeds can be cultivated, everyone immediately became eager.

"Oops!" Someone yelled, "Since His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince said it, it should be reliable. It's just that the spring plowing will be over soon."

The crowd was even more uproarious.

Although nothing can be missed for ten days and a half months at night, the seasons handed down by the ancestors are the golden rules for the vast majority of illiterate people.

Many people suddenly became anxious.

"General, there is a young nephew in the city guard. He doesn't want to help guard, but there are old and young in the family. The city owner said that if he helps guard the city, he can share some food..."

"If the little one makes him not guard, can you return the mountain to us quickly?"

Before Lei Long could speak, another person squeezed out in a hurry.

"This general, I don't need to eat anything or even turn around to help you attack the city. I only need land and seeds. Can you share our land and seeds quickly?"

"That's right," countless people nodded, "We want land and seeds."

The common people may not understand what it means to teach a man to fish rather than to give him a fish.But they knew one thing very well.

Dividing food can only make ends meet for a while.Only by planting the seeds can their future life be guaranteed.

As for who the imperial court sends to take charge of the city in front of them, they are just ordinary people and don't care at all.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle for a while.

Lei Long put away the note given by Ren Ning, and pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone be quiet, this general also knows that the season waits for no one. But as long as there are rebels controlling the city gate, it is impossible for everyone to leave the city to farm at any time."

"How about this, I will first decide to divide the land in the remote countryside. After the rebel army in the county is completely wiped out, I will distribute the land around the county to everyone."

snort!
Speaking of this, Thunder Dragon snorted coldly.

He flashed the big knife in his hand.

"I'm going to say something here first, if that bandit, landlord or member dares to snatch the common people's land, we need to see whether his neck is stiff or my sword is tough!"

"Good!" Everyone cheered.

"As for the seeds," Lei Long frowned, "Because the post road was dug up by the rebels, it was difficult for the horses and horses to move. At the same time, there are some rebels in Shannan County in front, so the seeds will be a few days late."

"But you don't have to worry. Just do whatever you need to weed, repair canals, or plow the ground."

"Because there are waterways in addition to land routes. Although there are many disorderly troops on the waterways. But the imperial court will definitely do its best to transport the seeds and distribute them to you as soon as possible."

"Try not to delay the season of spring plowing."

"Great." The common people smiled happily.

Lei Long spoke dryly, and while drinking water, he looked up at the guards on the wooden tower.

Xiao Zhu understood clearly, and quickly raised the microphone to repeat Lei Long's words loudly.

Before he could finish speaking, the cheers all around became more enthusiastic.

Some people even walked directly to the gate of the city, banging on the gate.

"My nephew, didn't you hear what the general outside said? The imperial army will arrive soon, and the bullshit city owner is dead. Hurry up and open the city gate, so we can go home and get tools and go to the fields."

huh huh!
Several arrows shot down.

It's just that the arrow skills of the people at the top of the city are too poor, since they missed.

However, the old man who slapped the gate of the city was still so frightened that he screamed strangely and ran out rolling and crawling.

Boom.

Suddenly a fight broke out on the top of the city, and some people shouted angrily.

"Wang Mazi, you're blind, that's my third uncle. Let you bastard shoot arrows, let you bastard shoot arrows! I can't cut you to death!"

How big can a remote town be?Many people know the basics.

Immediately, a woman who knew Wang Mazi stepped forward from the city, pinching her waist and cursing.

"Wang Mazi, you gave birth to a son with no farts/eyes. Come out and see who is my mother? When you were young, your mother had little milk, and my mother gave you milk. Now that you have grown up, your wings are hard? If you have the guts, you will shoot me to death." .Let’s see if the heavens will send thunder to kill you heartless.”

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, many people came out from the city to see what happened.

Unexpectedly, she knew quite a few, and she pointed to her nose and scolded them one by one.

The language is so rich that Lei Long and others behind him were dumbfounded and sighed.
