The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

There were words written on the paper, but most people were illiterate.

Therefore, the onlookers just watched the excitement together and chatted with the people next to them from time to time.

The common people watching at the gate of the yamen were fine, as they didn't dare to say anything because of the guards at the gate.

But the people at the city gate had no concerns and kept guessing what was written on this fresh notice.

"Tsk, what kind of notice is this? Could it be that it's telling the new county magistrate to release Chen Youni?"

A man who was carrying a load on his shoulder and selling vegetables in Wudu City made a bold guess.

The people nearby sneered when they heard it.

I felt that the vegetable seller was right, so I agreed, "Who says it's not true? Otherwise, it's just another notice asking us to pay some tax."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of complaints from all around.

"Oh God! Please open your eyes and kill all these people. We ordinary people really have no way to survive!"

The lady carrying the basket sat down on the ground when she heard what others said.

He kept hitting the ground with his hands to vent his dissatisfaction.

Crying to God about this unfair world.

The people in Wudu are so poor that they can hardly afford to eat.

I pray to God every day that there won’t be any drought or flood, otherwise the crop yields in the fields will be reduced.

During the harvest season, the crops in the fields can barely keep them going.

But it was just that I wouldn't starve to death, it was impossible to get enough to eat.

If there is another natural disaster, the crops in the fields will not even be enough to pay the taxes.

Many of them are going to starve to death again.

It is lucky to die of starvation, but those who are alive have no hope.

They had to start selling their children, and even their land, to become tenants of wealthy families in order to survive.

This is just jumping from one fire pit to another.

But those who are rich have no hindrance at all.

It's still the same as before.

They can even make more money by buying and selling people and raising prices.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the city gate was extremely depressing.

It was not until literate people squeezed in front of the notice and could see the words clearly.

I couldn't help but clap and laugh. I couldn't stop laughing and even looked a little crazy.

When the aunt saw the scholar's crazy look, she wondered if he had been driven crazy.

He looked at the scholar who was laughing and clapping with sympathy and said, "Poor thing, how can someone so young be so crazy?

He seems to be a scholar. How will their family live? "

The others also looked at the scholar with sympathy.

The scholar stopped laughing when he heard what the aunt said.

Knowing that the aunt and the people around her must have misunderstood, I quickly explained to them.

He was just too excited when he saw the notice, he wasn't crazy because he couldn't stand the excitement.

The scholar wiped away the tears that had flowed from his laughter just now.

Then he said, “Fellow villagers, please don’t misunderstand.

I'm fine.

I was just too excited to see the notice."

The aunt nodded, she understood what the scholar meant.

I just heard from others that the notice said it was time to collect taxes again.

She almost fainted from excitement.

Others also expressed their understanding, thinking that this scholar might just be different from others.

I just like to laugh when I'm excited.

After the scholar finished his explanation, the people around him still looked at him with sympathy.

So he slapped his thigh excitedly: "Oh, no, no."

He pointed to the notice that had just been posted and said:

“What’s written on it is nothing at all. Chen Youni has been released.

It doesn't mean we have to pay taxes again.

Instead, he told us that Chen Youni was arrested, and the county magistrate has found out what Chen Youni had done in the past few days.

Tomorrow the case will be tried in the government office, and Chen Youni and his family will be executed according to the laws of our dynasty!"

After the scholar finished speaking, the surrounding area suddenly exploded.

The state of the onlookers was even crazier than the scholar just now.

He was laughing, shouting, and clapping his hands.

The auntie just knelt down and kowtowed to the ground several times.

He kept repeating, "God has opened his eyes, God has opened his eyes!"

The vegetable seller excitedly hugged the person next to him and turned around several times before letting the person go.

The person being picked up was not angry and kept smiling.

The scholar also grinned as he watched the scene in front of him, waiting for the people around him to calm down a little.

Another bombshell was thrown at them.

"Ahem, everyone, listen to me. There's one more thing written on the notice."

As soon as the scholar finished saying this, there was a sudden silence around him.

Everyone looked at the scholar expectantly, hoping to hear good news from him again.

The scholar did not disappoint everyone's expectations and told them great news.

"Our county magistrate said that it has been verified that Chen Youni has collected a lot more taxes from the people over the years.

Now it has been verified and it won’t last for ten days.

The extra grain we collected from you will be exchanged for silver and distributed to each of our households."

After the scholar finished speaking, he gasped with excitement.

But the people around him seemed to be frozen.

No one spoke.

Until someone cried out “Ah” and then said, “Oh my god, it hurts.

This is not a dream! "

This broke the silence and sounds gradually emerged.

But there was no shouting like before, but only continuous sobbing.

They really didn't expect that the food they had handed over would one day return to their hands.

Everyone felt like they had suffered a great injustice and suddenly saw their parents.

The emotions that were once under control were like a river bursting its dam.

For a moment, there were sobbing sounds all around, and even the scholar's eyes were filled with tears.

It is true that the people of Wudu have had a very difficult time in recent years. They are almost suffocating under the harsh taxation of Chen Youni.

However, the people who have endured for a lifetime always think that they just need to be patient and it will pass.

But what he got in return was even more severe exploitation from Chen Youni.

The people's backs have long been bent, and they have become accustomed to accepting everything.

Gradually, I couldn't stand up straight anymore.

Now Wang Chengzi seemed to have taken off the heavy shackles on their shoulders.

He also said to them gently: You have worked hard over the years, and the bad guys will now be punished.

You will never be exploited again.

This made them instantly grateful to Wang Chengzi.

"Wow, this county magistrate is really so nice."

"Yes, yes, I must come to the city tomorrow to see with my own eyes what happened to Chen Youni, and thank our county magistrate."

The vegetable seller blew his tears and snot and wiped them on the soles of his shoes.
