"Yes, there is a better place to go." Pei Xiaoer stood up and took two steps back and forth.

"Why can the common people be oppressed by these big families but dare not resist?" Pei Xiaoer's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at Liu Xianchun, "It's not because these common people can't live without these big families.

Go down.

So in this case, if we can provide a place with better living conditions but less oppression for these people to live, then how can these people still be willing to be oppressed by these big families?"

"You mean to give all this land to these people?" Liu Xianchun's eyes revealed confusion, "Okay, I will allocate all these lands to the people when I get there."

"No," Pei Xiaoer interrupted him. "Even if you allocate all these lands to the people, they still won't be able to hold on to them. In a few years, these lands will return to the hands of the big families."

"And what I want you to do is to attract the tenants with preferential rents. In this way, the big households will pay the land tax and no one will farm the land for them, so they will naturally lower the land rent themselves. This way

Not only did we fight for the interests of the tenants, but we also made the tenants thank us."

Liu Xianchun is such a smart person. He can tell the truth immediately and said excitedly. "In this way, we will not only be able to collect more taxes, but also gain a better reputation."

Pei Xiaoer was very pleased to see that Liu Xianchun had such a high level of understanding. He was about to speak when he heard a soldier at the door running to report, "The envoy from the tiger sitting on the plate has come again to ask for an audience."

Sitting on the ground? What does this guy want to do this time? Pei Xiaoer pondered for a moment and said to Liu Xianchun, "You go ahead and do as we say."

"yes"

Watching Liu Xianchun leave, Pei Xiaoer waved his hand to the personal soldiers to bring the envoy in.

This messenger was still the same one who came last time, but compared with his unruly, arrogant and rude attitude last time, this time he was much more submissive.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he gave a big salute to Pei Xiaoer, who was sitting high up, and said, "Congratulations to General Pei for taking Xia County."

However, Pei Xiaoer didn't pay much attention to him. His eyes were completely attracted by the person behind the envoy.

The room suddenly became quiet. After a long while, the messenger cautiously raised his head to look at Pei Xiaoer, who was sitting in the main seat. Seeing that he was staring at him intently, his heart suddenly beat.

I didn't know what possessed my mind at that time, and I dared to tease such a ruthless person. I also thought that my mission was to befriend Pei Xiaoer. If I failed, the boss would crush me into pieces.

No. At this moment, the messenger is afraid that his intestines will turn green with regret, and he just wants to slap himself twice in the mouth.

The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. The more he became afraid, the more he thought about it. Finally, the envoy couldn't bear the fear in his heart. He knelt down in front of Pei Xiaoer with a bang and kowtowed: "General Pei, last time I was possessed by a ghost and uttered arrogant words.

Please spare my life for the sake of General Pei."

Pei Xiaoer also didn't expect that he would scare the messenger like this without saying anything, which was a bit funny. But he immediately realized that this was an opportunity, "Whether I will spare you or not depends on your performance."

"Yes, the villain must tell everything he knows."

"Tell me, what's the important reason why the master sent you here?"

"General, the commander is very happy to hear that you have conquered Xia County. He said that the family members of the forward battalion are all in Wenxi County. It is very inconvenient, so I specially ordered the villain to bring them over to you."

Pei Xiaoer was startled. When you are polite to others, you must ask for something. This is a rule summarized by our ancestors for thousands of years. This land tiger suddenly treated him so well, and he didn't hold anything good in his heart. "That's all.

?The host didn’t say anything else?”

"Yes, there is," the messenger said quickly, "The commander said that your conquest of Xia County was a great contribution to the rebel army. How can you not reward those who have made great contributions? I specially promoted you to be the deputy commander of the rebel army."

"It's over?"

"It's over." The messenger looked longingly at Pei Xiaoer, who was silent in thought.

"Where are our military family members now?"

"In the back, I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon." The messenger laughed along with him.

Pei Xiaoer was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked as if by accident, "By the way, how are Zuoying and Youying doing now?"

"General Liu of the right camp has captured three Zhuangzi, and the commander is discussing with the master to bring him back to celebrate his success. General Zhang of the left camp heard that the progress is not going well and has not captured any Zhuangzi. The commander has reprimanded him many times.

Already."

Hearing what he said, Pei Xiaoer understood it all at once. It seemed that Sitting Tiger was going to attack Liu Guozhong first. It was really stupid. He snorted coldly in his heart, waved his hand to the envoy, "You go down and rest first. We'll talk tomorrow."

In the evening, Pei Xiaoer finally saw sisters Xu Qingwan and Xu Suhua again. It was obvious that the two sisters were not doing well in Wenxi County. They were both beautiful and frail, and Pei Xiaoer felt guilty for a while.

Seeing that Pei Xiaoer could no longer bear the grievance and fear in her heart, the two girls rushed towards him, hugged Pei Xiaoer's arms one on the left and the other on the right, and began to cry.

Pei Xiaoer comforted her repeatedly, and it took a while to coax the two girls to stop crying. The three of them sat together and whispered.

"So, Wenxi County is about to run out of food?" From the two women's intermittent descriptions, Pei Xiaoer finally figured out the current situation in Wenxi County. After the left and right battalions set off, Liu Guozhong from the right battalion started fighting Huang Jialing.

, they would also send some food to the sitting tigers, but in the end it became less and less. After taking over the empty Peijiazhuang, they stopped giving any food at all.

As for Zhang Zhiguo from Zuoying. So far, this person has not even defeated a Zhuangzi. He is really incompetent. He can't even support himself, let alone give any resources to the sitting tiger. If he can't be like the sitting tiger and ask for food, it's already good.

Already.

Coupled with Pei Xiaoer's challenge at this time, the crisis in Si Dihu's heart is getting stronger and stronger. At this moment, if he does not become stronger, he will be surpassed by others, and his position will be lost. So he can only continue to

Expand the army, expand the army, and expand the army again. Until now, a small Wenxi County is actually stationed with an army of 20,000 soldiers.

Moreover, just after entering the county, the killings were so intense that even the tenant farmers could not be found, and the consumption was so huge that even if there was more food in Wenxi County, it would not be enough.

Pei Xiaoer stopped talking, and the room gradually became quiet. Slowly, a strange emotion continued to grow. The eyes of the two girls leaning on Pei Xiaoer's arms slowly became blurred, and Pei Xiaoer's big hands

, as if exploring the clothes uncontrollably, down, down, and down again.
