Nothing happened on the road, and everyone arrived in Jeju in seven days. Sun Lei was not in a hurry to go up the mountain, and was going to have a meal at his hotel before returning to Liangshan, but he met Zhu Gui as soon as he entered the store. Qinbei Pavilion
"Brother, you are finally back!"
Zhu Gui, who was behind Zhu Gui at the hotel counter, was flipping through his account books and dialing his abacus and immediately greeted Sun Lei when he saw him coming back.
"How long have we not seen each other? Why is this happening?"
Sun Lei looked at Zhu Gui's excited and eager look and smiled, when did Zhu Gui become like this?
"Brother, something big happened!"
Zhu Gui took Sun Lei and walked out.
"What's going on? What's the big deal? Are the officers and soldiers here to kill people?"
Sun Lei was very puzzled. With the current strength of Liangshanbo, as long as Tokyo did not send troops, the Xiang army in the local state capital was not worth mentioning at all. It's enough to cope with, no need to panic so much.
Zhu Gui didn't say anything. He pulled Sun Lei and walked out of the water pool. He looked anxious as if something big had happened.
The rest of the people also followed with weapons in hand. No matter who it was, anyone who dared to come to Liangshanbo to cause trouble was seeking death.
Soon we arrived at the northern periphery of the water park. Looking around, we saw a patchwork of firewood shacks. In the shacks, there were a large number of refugees, men and women with dirty faces, dressed in clothes, sitting on the ground in the sun. They were all sick and listless, with numb eyes and expressionless faces. There were also children. They were having fun in the meantime.
"What is this for? Where did it come from? I didn't ask you to rob people, did I?"
Sun Lei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhu Gui and asked, could it be that people like Zhu Gui were eager to grow Liangshan and went directly to the surrounding areas to plunder the population?
Everyone behind Sun Lei looked shocked, especially Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, Xu Ning, Ling Zhen, and Li Shishi. They did not expect that Liangshan would be like this when they arrived. It was completely different from the Liangshan they imagined.
"Brother, how dare we rob people? These are the refugees who came from the disaster. They are all people of Jeju and Yunzhou. There are already tens of thousands of them!"
Zhu Gui smiled bitterly and said, without Sun Lei's order, they would not dare to do something like robbing the population. Besides, how could any bandits rob the population?
"Victims? Where did the victims come from? There were no floods this year!"
Sun Lei asked, it can be said that the east and west roads in Beijing are going smoothly this year. Even if it is not a year of great prosperity, it is not a problem to keep food and clothing. How could there be tens of thousands of disaster victims?
"Brother, there are man-made disasters even if they are not natural disasters! Last month, Xicheng came to Jeju and Yunzhou. In less than a month, they turned Jeju and Yunzhou into hell on earth. Countless families were ruined. These people had no way to survive. How about they He came to Liangshanpo to seek a way to survive, and Liangshan Town was overcrowded for a while. I was afraid that something would happen if there were too many people gathered together, so I discussed with several older brothers to move the victims to a place far away from Liangshan."
Zhu Gui pointed at the large shack and said with a wry smile.
"Xicheng Suo?"
Sun Lei asked with a frown. The name was very unfamiliar and he had no impression of it.
"But the Xicheng place where Yang Jian plundered the fertile land and expropriated it violently?"
Wen Huanzhang asked.
"This is Wen Huanzhang, this is Xu Guanzhong, they will both be Liangshan's military advisors from now on!"
Sun Lei pointed to Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong next to him and introduced Zhu Gui.
"As Military Advisor Wen said, it was the Xicheng Office that caused a lot of trouble in Ruzhou last year. Unexpectedly, it came to Jeju and Yunzhou this year."
Zhu Gui knew that Sun Lei went to Tokyo this time to invite big talents back, but he didn't expect that there would be two big talents when he came back.
"Brother, this Xicheng office was a vicious idea that Du Gong, a subordinate official, came up with to dedicate to Yang Jian. The purpose was to plunder people's fertile land and forcibly allocate wasteland to plunder people's wealth."
"The method was to legislate to collect land deeds from the people, but most of the land deeds were issued when the country was founded. Over the years, the land deeds have been circulated seriously among the people, and many of them have been found to be unsubstantiated. Yang Jian then used the law to take back those fields and classify them as Public fields.”
"In addition, many people who lost their fields in the past chose to open up wasteland in order to survive. After years of hard work, those wastelands have become fertile farmland. These fields also have no title deeds, and they were also occupied by Yang Jian and returned to public land."
"And Yang Jian's greed didn't stop there. He even identified dangerous places such as deserted fields, deserted fields, abandoned embankments, abandoned weirs, beach retreats, silts, lakes, etc. as public land, forcing the people to take over the land and levying public land money. Natural disasters occurred in these places. Continuously, it is not suitable for farming at all, and allocating money to households is no different from robbery."
Wen Huanzhang said.
"More than that, those corrupt officials are the best at scraping their bones and making oil. Our Jeju and Yunzhou are the land of plenty. Many people in the territory make a living by fishing. There is no land, so they immediately rent boats, calculate their daily and monthly taxes, and catch fish. Every detail of the fish’s benefits is preserved, and if it is turned over in accordance with the regulations, the fishermen will have no way to survive.”
Zhu Gui smiled bitterly.
Everyone frowned when they heard this. This was really exploitative to the extreme. They were not even given a way to survive. No wonder the common people were rushing to go up the mountain.
"To be honest, these people have a lot of clever ideas, but it's a pity that they can only use them on their own people. If they only focused on dealing with the Khitans and Xixia people, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago."
Sun Lei shook his head and said, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, he really admired those dog officials who could come up with any bad ideas. Their brains were not stupid at all, but it was a pity that they were all used in wrong ways.
"These damn dog officials!"
Lu Zhishen was furious. He had never thought that those corrupt officials could be so greedy, and they would just drive people to death.
"elder brother!"
An Daoquan walked out of the shack with a medicine box on his back, accompanied by Pang Qiuxia. It looked like he had just helped someone see a doctor.
"Doctor An, Miss Qiuxia."
Sun Lei looked at the two of them and nodded.
"Brother, these people can't live together like this. The staff is too mixed and it's easy for the epidemic to spread!"
An Daoquan cupped his fists at Sun Lei and said, since he is a doctor, he only talks about treating diseases and saving people.
"Brother, many of these people are sick. Dr. An has been treating the victims these days!"
Pang Qiuxia said that she was specifically following An Daoquan to protect Zhou Quan.
"Thank you, Dr. An."
Sun Lei looked at An Daoquan.
"Brother, you are serious. It is the duty of a doctor."
An Daoquan shook his head and said.
"Brother, what should we do with these people? Brothers are still waiting for me to make up my mind!"
Zhu Gui looked at Sun Lei with a bitter look on his face and asked, the biggest problem on the mountain now is how to resettle these victims.
"You still need brother to make up your mind? It looks like an eyesore, so why don't you just leave!"
Li Kui looked at Zhu Gui and said.
"Tieniu, the villagers came to vote for us because they trust us in Liangshan. As a hero, you should draw your sword to help and directly drive away corrupt officials when there is injustice! What's the difference between that and cruel officials! How can you have the face to call yourself a hero!"
Lu Zhishen slapped Li Kui on the shoulder, causing Li Kui to spin in a circle. His life creed did not allow him to do such a thing.
"elder brother!"
The voices of Lin Chong, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, Ruan Xiaoer and others rang out, but they rushed over after getting the news.
