The end of the world begins with the king
Chapter 944
Chapter 944
In the first year of Guangwu, in May, the temperature gradually rose.
Outside Laizhou Prefecture in Hedong County, a large number of people are working in the fields, including Zhang Dagui's family.
The Zhang family has a total of seven members, including Zhang Dagui and his wife, three sons and two daughters.
Even though the youngest son is only ten years old, he is digging the ditch with a small hoe at the moment, while his older brothers and sisters are working seriously.
Zhang Dagui was originally from Guangyang County. Three years ago, when zombies ravaged Guangyang County, Zhang Dagui fled with his family.
There were other people from the same village who fled together. Unfortunately, most of these people died on the way. Zhang Dagui's family was lucky to survive.
After crossing the river all the way and fleeing to the south, they were out of danger, but their lives were still extremely difficult.
The first one is food. Zhang Dagui has worked so hard to feed his family, and sometimes he has to do some sneaky things.
Although the days were hard, the Zhang family survived and did not lose their family members like others.
But even so, the life of their family is still difficult, and they are in danger every day.
This situation improved until February of this year, and the Zhang family moved north to Hedong County just because of an edict from the newly succeeded emperor.
Tens of thousands of people moved north with them, and now they are all resettled outside Laizhou Prefecture, responsible for reclaiming 10,000+ mu of surrounding land.
Hedong County was once occupied by zombies, and these lands were all unowned.
Moved here by the government, the officials preached the policy to everyone, as long as they work hard, they will give them the land.
Land is a valuable means of production. Now the Zhang family is responsible for more than 120 mu. If all of this is distributed to them, then life will be prosperous in the future. '
Therefore, everyone in the Zhang family worked desperately, striving for a better life in the future.
And this kind of situation is happening in the reclamation land in various places in Dajin, and the abandoned land is rejuvenating.
Soon it was noon, Zhang Dagui sat under the shade of a tree, and asked all the children in the field to come over, because it was time to eat.
Zhang Dagui's wife, Wang Shi, is coming here with a basket.
"Why is this porridge getting clearer and clearer? Now is the time to do heavy work, but it's not as good as before!" Zhang Dagui looked dissatisfied.
In addition to a can of porridge, Mrs. Wang also brought wild vegetables she dug herself, and she is arranging these for eating at the moment.
Hearing her husband's dissatisfaction, Wang explained: "It's not that I don't want to part with it, it's that I really don't have any more rice!"
"Old man Zheng sent out twenty catties of rice today, and said it was half a month's ration!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dagui couldn't bear it anymore, and heard him scold: "We have seven people in our family, and we are given [-] catties of rice for half a month. Do we still have to live?"
"Big deal, I'll dig more wild vegetables!" Wang said helplessly.
"Dig more wild vegetables? There are tens of thousands of people around here, how many days can we eat wild vegetables? Is it possible to dig tree roots to eat again?"
"We've reached that point, we're still planting a fart!"
Hearing her husband's words getting more and more outrageous, Wang quickly comforted her and said, "Stop saying a few words, and eat first..."
In fact, there are many dissatisfied people like Zhang Dagui, and many of them are fallen landlords.
The food was distributed by the Laizhou Government. Combined with the recent changes in food distribution, these people can easily guess the tricks in it.
The imperial court must have distributed enough food, otherwise it would have been impossible to distribute enough food in the past two months, and it would be less when they are working now.
So where did the food go?
"Obviously he was corrupted!"
"These people are really courageous. The current emperor is decisive in killing, and they dare to be greedy?"
"As long as the benefits are big enough, why don't you dare to be an official? You don't know what kind of virtue these people have?"
In the evening, several men chatted in the house.
They were originally rich and young, but their family declined after fleeing, and now they have to rely on their strength to eat.
Although it has fallen, the previous knowledge is still there, so they can guess the tricks of the government.
"The third child of the Xu family died of starvation. Everyone, go over and help, and take care of the funeral!"
Hearing the yelling outside, several people in the room sighed. It is not uncommon for people to starve to death in recent days.
Even though they had just had dinner, they were still hungry at the moment, because the food provided by the government was too little.
It is not a big deal to starve to death. What is more serious is to survive. There have been extremely robbery incidents recently, and many families have died.
After a while of silence, someone suddenly said: "If this goes on like this, something big will happen!"
"Let him go, if he can't survive, what should come will always come!"
What should come will always come, this sentence is really true.
On May [-]th, the people who couldn't survive rushed to Laizhou Fucheng one after another, and they wanted to ask the government for an explanation.
It is said that the people do not fight with the officials, but for the people who cannot survive, they are not afraid of these things at all.
Inside the government office, the magistrate Wang Qianwang was in a hurry and was pacing back and forth in the lobby.
"These untouchables really deserve to die!" Wang Qianwang couldn't help cursing angrily.
At this moment, he was waiting for news, so he glanced outside from time to time.
"Why don't you come back!"
Listening to the roar outside, Wang Qian looked at the sweat on his forehead, but wiped it off without thinking.
Finally, footsteps sounded outside, but it was his cronies who came.
"How's the situation?" Wang Qianwang asked quickly.
"My lord, Commander Qin has ordered Jia Qianhu to send troops to maintain order!"
"Maintain order? Didn't I ask him to suppress troublemakers? You didn't tell him clearly?" Wang Qianwang's face turned cloudy.
"My lord, the little one made it clear, but Commander Qin said that this is civil affairs, so it's inconvenient for him to intervene too much!"
Obviously, this Commander Qin was very cautious, knowing that this kind of matter should not be too involved, otherwise he might also follow the game to the end.
When Wang Qianwang was thinking about countermeasures, he never got an answer from the people, and the mood became more and more excited at the moment.
"Come out, all the officials inside come out!"
"His grandma's is [-] or [-] meters per day. This is not trying to starve us to death!"
Everyone scolded angrily, and their voices became louder and louder, which made the atmosphere more heated and made them more emboldened.
"There must be food. It must have been corrupted by the officials. Maybe it's hidden in the government office!"
"It's dead anyway, it's better to be a dead ghost, everyone will go in and find something to eat!"
When everyone was emotional, there were still people in the crowd who fired at the government office from time to time.
"Yes, go in and find something to eat!"
At this moment, the army of the guard is still on the road, and there are dozens of government servants at the gate of the government office. It is difficult to deter the angry people with water and fire sticks.
"walk into……"
In the excitement of the crowd, the common people rushed to the government office, forcing the government officials to suppress it with sticks.
But there are too few of these people, how can they stop these commoners, instead they let themselves into the crowd, and were beaten half to death by the angry crowd.
The people rebelled and the situation suddenly got out of control, which Wang Qianwang never expected.
While fleeing through the back door under the escort of the guards, he was already thinking about how to clear himself up and how much money he would have to spend on it.
He has only been in office for three months, and the money he has "accumulated" is not too much, and he may have to use his ancestral property to manage his affairs.
In order to fight against the common people, Wang Qianwang only lamented that stealing chickens would cost nothing, but he didn't realize that he was wrong.
