"Don't panic."
Facing his son's urgent question, the old man thought for a moment and then relaxed his brows.
"That dog official is just like Madman Lu before him. He does things regardless of the consequences. He will definitely not be able to serve as an official for a long time. Now we are not the only ones whose interests are harmed. All the gentry in Hu County... no, all the big families in Yuzhou are deeply affected. These damn warriors have been harmed, so many knowledgeable people have written together, everyone's connections in the court have worked together, and there are still photo charms as evidence, it is only a matter of time before these dog officials are driven out of Yuzhou, there is no need to rush."
As he spoke, he shook the recliner under him slightly and said:
"Yuzhou, after all, is the Yuzhou of our Yuzhou clan. Those dog officials can't make any waves. Without our approval, they are nothing!"
The man's face calmed down for a moment, but he still said unwillingly:
"But there are so many untouchables running away..."
"It's just a temporary pain."
The old man squinted his eyes and said calmly: "As long as we drive away that dog official, what should be ours will still be ours. Not only that, the fields they have cultivated during this period will only fall into our pockets in the end. Those untouchables , can’t escape from our grasp!”
Hearing this, the man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Dad is right, I'm just impatient."
…
In the eastern suburbs of Hu County, in a village that has obviously been recently renovated.
The villagers who had just worked hard all day came back one after another.
The men gathered together to chat, children played around, and the women went back to their houses to cook.
After a while, the whole village was filled with smoke, and it was full of vitality. Even in the prosperous times, the picture that may not be seen was vividly displayed at this moment. It was the same as when it was persecuted by corrupt officials such as King Yu and Zhao Ping. The lifeless scene formed a sharp contrast.
"Master Li is such a good official. When he took office, he immediately checked out the grain that had been deducted by those dog officials before, and returned it all to us. He also led us to open up wasteland and grow grain. In the future, we no longer have to go to Xue Yuanwai or Li Yuanwai. The unscrupulous big family has been bullied by them."
In the drying field, a man sighed with emotion.
Others echoed.
"Yes, if it weren't for Master Li, I don't know if our family would have survived this year."
"That Yuan Xue is really nothing. He rented their land and worked hard for a year. As a result, after paying taxes on the grain he grew, he had to take away 70% of it as rent, and the remaining rations. No matter how frugal we are, it’s not enough to feed the four of us.”
"Who says it isn't? I remember last year when the harvest was not very good, the whole family of Huzi's family next door was starving to death. So they knelt down in front of Mr.
"Not only did Mr. Xue not charge less, but he found an excuse to change the rent to a fixed amount. If the village chief hadn't been kind-hearted and set an example by calling on everyone to help his family, Huzi's whole family would have starved to death!"
"Oh, it's a pity that Huzi still didn't survive the hard labor..."
At this point, everyone couldn't help but fell silent for a while, with a look of sadness on their faces.
The world before Yuzhou was simply a hell on earth for ordinary people like them who had no power.
Just to stay alive, they have to work hard for it, how can they dare to expect anything else?
"It's okay now, Master Youli is here, and our days are finally headed."
Speaking of the new Mr. Li, everyone's interest became much higher.
"Although Mrs. Li is a bit strange, she is always tinkering with messy powders, either burning stones or burning some colorful water, but she is really kind to us common people."
"With Master Li here, I feel that I didn't come to this world to suffer..."
"It is said that Mr. Li is a disciple of Governor Lu. Governor Lu was worried that we would be oppressed by corrupt officials again, so he promoted his disciple to the county magistrate against all opinions and went to the counties to benefit the local people."
"With Governor Lu's support, Master Li and the others can let go."
"Governor Lu is really the great master of the Great Xia Dynasty. In order to allow the common people like us to live and work in peace and contentment, he not only provided relief to the poor, but also severely punished corrupt officials, and even went as far as to kill the scourge of King Yu at all costs."
"Oh, it's a pity that Governor Lu can't stay in Yuzhou forever."
"What are you talking about?! Governor Lu is a great man who cares about the world and helps the people! How can he stay in a small place like Yuzhou? And it's not like Governor Lu didn't care about us, didn't he also have Lord Li and the others?"
"As long as Governor Lu is in court, he can support Master Li and others, and Master Li and others can benefit us ordinary people!"
"I really hope Governor Lu can be a prince for generations to come."
Everyone was filled with emotion.
There have been very few good officials like Governor Lu throughout the ages, let alone Daxia.
The ancient sages were nothing more than this.
At this time, a man suddenly stood up and said, "Stop talking, I have to go home and pay homage to Governor Lu's longevity tablet."
As early as when he learned that King Yu was killed by Lu Chen, he set up a longevity tablet for Lu Chen at home and carefully wiped it several times every day, as if he had some kind of devout belief and did not dare to slack off at all.
"I am coming too."
"Me too!"
"Governor Lu has done so much for us, so we cannot afford to repay such a great favor."
"You're right. We ordinary people can't do anything to help Governor Lu, but we can pray for him and bless him to be free from illness and disaster in his life, and to be promoted step by step!"
"It makes sense! I will also go back and set up a longevity tablet for Governor Lu."
"."
Soon, only a few children were still playing in the large grain drying field.
The cheerful and crisp sounds of play give this small village an aura of transcendence.
It's like a rare breath of peace in this turbid world.
at the same time.
Luo Jing.
Lu Chen, who had just finished his shift, naturally had no idea what was happening in Yuzhou thousands of miles away, nor did he know that he had hundreds of thousands of longevity tablets inexplicably.
As usual, after he walked out of Ziji City, he walked through the luxurious sedans or BMWs, walked alone towards the east city, and walked home. He was not at all embarrassed because he was favored by the empress and his worth doubled. Change this habit.
At this time, several colorful and beautiful butterflies appeared in the corner of his eye.
The beautiful colors made him look over subconsciously.
"There are more and more butterflies recently. Is spring coming?"
Bored thoughts came to mind, and then Lu Chen looked at it for a few moments and then looked away.
"I remember when I first came to this world, it was still the depth of winter. Before I knew it, more than four months had passed. Alas."
He sighed inexplicably.
More than four months have passed, and he has not even received the reward of being demoted, let alone being promoted to immortal, only a minimum guarantee.
And all rewards except the guarantee are becoming increasingly elusive.
Even the guaranteed reward may not be guaranteed.
The system conditions that were obviously extremely easy to achieve have now become hellishly difficult.
I don't know what went wrong.
Shaking his head, Lu Chen put away his messy thoughts and continued walking quickly towards Dongcheng.
About a quarter of an hour later, he came to Mingjue Street, an unusually wide street.
The surrounding area is full of mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles, and the mansion given to him by the Empress is located in the middle of Mingjue Street, very close to the bustling Dongshi.
Just turn left when you go out and walk a short distance to enjoy the bustling scene, which is extremely convenient.
And when passing by an inexplicably dilapidated red gate——
"Huh? What's wrong with Lu?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
He stopped and turned around, and suddenly saw an elegant middle-aged man looking at him in surprise.
But it was Gu Yanming who had just come out of prison to persuade him not to get involved in the Gu family's troubled waters.
After recognizing Gu Yanming, Lu Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Good day, Hou Dingyuan."
He said hello politely and prepared to leave.
"Lu is leaving things alone."
However, Gu Yanming suddenly walked over.
"I have something to tell you."
Looking at Gu Yanming who walked up to him in a few steps, Lu Chen couldn't help but frown.
MD, you won’t have to do more drama, right?
