Everyone hated the God Du'e with gnashing teeth.

This hatred far exceeds the fear of unknown forces.

They even felt that the so-called magical powers of the God of Du'e were just boasted to scare people.

After all, which traitor has not boasted that he is the reincarnation of a god?

The gentry, landlords and powerful people organized many thugs they had hired, and as soon as the people from the government office came out to distribute the land, they would immediately ambush and encircle them.

Not long after the notices were posted in various places, they sent people to tear them down at night.

In this case, no matter how good the Lord Du'e is for the people, the villagers living in the village will not know about it at all, let alone join forces with the Lord Du'e's army to fight against them, the landlords.

However, they had no idea that at the same time the notice was issued, thousands of "peddlers" from the Propaganda Department had already arrived at the villages selected by the higher-ups, and under the guise of selling goods, they delivered this people-friendly decree to the villages without any error.

Most of the villagers make a living by renting farmland. Even if they have their own land, for a family of more than a dozen people, the most they own is only twenty acres, and the least is even only three or five acres. To make a living, they still have to rent land from landlords.

After hearing the news from the peddler, all the people gathered at the entrance of the village could not believe that such a good thing would happen to them.

"Why would the government be so generous to us peasants?"

There was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the skinny villagers, but it seemed like it would be extinguished at any time.

The peddler said as a matter of course:

"Of course not. The Lord of Deliverance came here specifically to save the people from suffering! His purpose is to let poor people like us live a good life!"

"If it weren't for the people, the God would still be serving as the Grand Imperial Master in the capital, accepting offerings from the old emperor! I heard that the God fell out with the old emperor because the old emperor was rich but refused to provide relief to the people in the snow-stricken areas of Northern Zhili and Shanxi Province!"

"If you don't believe it, you can send two people to the county gate to check the notice. The notices in other places will probably be torn down by some bad-hearted people!"

When everyone heard him say this, they realized how compassionate the God of Du'e was.

In addition, with the county notice to verify, everyone believed the peddler's words about 70%.

Someone couldn't help but ask:

"I only have one son in my family, and the other three are girls. Can each of them get three acres of land?"

The peddler laughed heartily and said, "Of course it's true. Men and women are the same in the God's place. They all have three acres of land!"

"And we only pay 20% tax! This includes the population tax, land tax, and corvée. Excluding the 20% paid to the court, the rest is ours!"

All the villagers were ecstatic.

In a poor family, many people would not want to raise a son unless they had a daughter who could be used to exchange dowry or a wife for their son.

Because a girl is not a child, she cannot carry on the family line.

But now, the decree from above actually states that girls and women such as daughters-in-law are also considered as adult members and can be allocated land.

Then the amount of land each household can get will be much more than expected.

With so much land, all of it is mine by paying only 20% rent. I can’t even imagine how easy life will be in the future!

"Brother, does the notice say when it will be distributed to our village?"

"That's not what I said, but it will definitely be distributed to your village. The most important thing for everyone now is to talk to the neighboring villages and get more people in touch, so that those landlords won't do anything bad and make the land distribution impossible!"

"Besides, if everyone participates in suppressing those landlords, they can also get extra land. It's a win-win situation!"

The villagers felt that this made sense.

The God had good intentions and wanted to distribute the landlords' land to these poor people, but how could the landlords be willing to do that?
