The rise of the poor

Chapter 1311 Meet the adults
"Master Zhu, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. I, Wuxi Miao, went down the mountain to attack the southeast flood shelter, and robbed food and grass and more than a thousand people. I have made a big mistake. I don't know how Master Zhu can save me Wuxi Miao?"

Mrs. Yilan leaned forward slightly, stared at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes, and asked with a serious face.

"I know that you Wuxi Miao are all good people, but because of the floods and the hunger and cold, you couldn't hold on any longer. In order to survive as a family, you were forced to go down the mountain and plunder the flood shelters in the southeast. The plundering of food and grass was just for food. The looting of the people is just for self-protection. I am the magistrate of Jingnan, your parents and officials. In my eyes, you are all my juniors. You have not made a big mistake, and you can be forgiven. If If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and I will forgive your sins."

Zhu Ping'an also leaned forward slightly, looked at Mrs. Yilan with burning eyes, and said slowly.

The two looked at each other, like a meeting between wind and clouds, and for a moment the atmosphere was like an exam, and also like a blind date.

After staring at each other for a full three seconds, the two of them withdrew their gazes, and the corners of their mouths curved in satisfaction.

"Your Excellency is sympathetic to the people, and you are worthy of the name of Qingtian." Madam Yilan got up and bowed to Zhu Ping'an.

"Teacher please, I am ashamed to take the name of Qingtian." Zhu Pingan took half a step forward, and said with help from afar.

"It's just that I still have some doubts, sir, please clarify." Mrs. Yilan got up and said slowly.

"Please tell me, chieftain, I know everything." Zhu Pingan stretched out his hand to salute.

"My lord just said that I, Wuxi Miao, know my mistakes and can correct them, and my lord will forgive my Wuxi Miao's sins. I don't know how to know my mistakes and can correct them?" Mrs. Yilan looked at Zhu Ping'an without blinking her weather-beaten eyes. , carefully and focused, not letting go of any of Zhu Ping's micro-expressions.

All the Wuxi seedlings also looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes. For a while, Zhu Pingan became the focus of tens of thousands of people.

"Return the looted food and people, and bring the whole family back." Zhu Pingan looked directly at Mrs. Yilan and replied without hesitation.

what? !

Return the looted food and grass, the common people, and submit the clan to obedience? !
It’s okay to return the people, but how can we return the grain and grass? !The reason why we plundered the southeast flood refuge area is because the clan can't get rid of it!Returning the grain and grass, isn't that killing us? !

A kind of Miao Man's emotion was excited again.

"My lord, it's no problem to return the people. It's no problem to submit to the family. We are good people of Ming Dynasty, and we have never thought of rebellion. We just return the grain and grass." Mrs. Yilan shook her head slightly when she said this. He said softly but firmly, "Forgive me. Please forgive me for the hardships of Wuxi Miao. The reason why my family plundered food and grass was because the family had no food for several days and had no choice but to make a living. The three thousand stones Food and grass are life-saving food for our whole family."

Zhu Pingan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"The dog officer can still laugh!" Seeing this, Butterfly frowned again.

The group of Wuxi seedlings was even more outraged, and many radicals even booed to fight Zhu Ping'an to the death.

Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an smiled even more.

"My lord, why are you laughing?" Mrs. Yilan stretched out her hand and pressed down, suppressing the excitement of the clansmen, and asked with a frown.

"I laugh at you when you look east, but you don't see the west wall." Zhu Pingan said with a smile.

"Looking to the east, I can't see the west wall?! What do you mean?!" A kind of Miaoman looked confused and didn't understand what it meant.

"My lord, please speak clearly." Mrs. Yilan frowned slightly.

"The chieftain asked me just now, how can Wuxi Miao know his mistakes and correct them, and he hasn't asked me how to forgive you?!"

Zhu Pingan said meaningfully.

"I don't know how your lord is going to forgive us?" Mrs. Yilan followed Zhu Ping'an's words and asked.

"First, I will pardon your crimes of breaching the southeast flood shelter area, looting food and grass, and the people; The official will distribute the [-] shi of grain and grass to you together with the [-] shi of grain and grass you returned; third, five miles to the southeast of Wuxi Mountain, there are thousands of acres of wasteland suitable for cultivation. I will give you Wuxi seedlings, and let you enjoy them for generations. After your Wuxi seedlings are reclaimed, you will be exempted from taxes for five years, and the tax will be halved after five years. After ten years, you will pay the same taxes as the Han people."

Zhu Ping got up, stretched out his fingers, and made promises to Mrs. Yilan and the Wuxi Miao one after another.

"Ah?! Giving us [-] shi of grain and grass, and giving us thousands of acres of land to cultivate, is it true?!"

"It's not a lie to us, is it?!"

"It's a lie! Don't be fooled by this dog official! Since you want to give us [-] shi of grain and grass, why do you want us to return the [-] shi of grain and grass?! Isn't this taking off your pants and farting!"

The crowd of Wuxi seedlings were shocked, and they were very excited by Zhu Ping'an's promise. Thirty thousand stones of grain and grass are enough for their whole family to survive this disaster year, let alone thousands of acres of land. The Han people in Jingnan had fertile land to cultivate, envied, envied and hated them, but when they were excited, they also had deep doubts about Zhu Ping'an's promise, and suspected that Zhu Ping'an had deceived them.

"My lord is so sympathetic to my Wuxi seedlings. I am very grateful. I just don't understand. Since the lord wants to give us [-] shi of grain and grass, why does he insist on us returning the [-] shi of grain and grass?"

Mrs. Yilan was also puzzled.

"'What I give' and 'you grab' are two concepts with diametrically opposed natures. What I give you is yours; if I don't give it, you can't grab it. Can the chieftain understand when I say this? !"

Zhu Pingan glanced at Mrs. Yilan and the Miao Man with scorching eyes, and spoke slowly word by word.

"Your Excellency's words are true. We didn't think carefully enough." Mrs. Yilan suddenly realized, bowed and saluted.

"Your Lord, think twice, you can't trust people with knowledge, let alone officials, don't be fooled by people with knowledge. These three thousand stones of grain and grass are our life-saving food, and this one is meat buns beating dogs—is there any?" No return."

Wuxi Miao still doubts.

"Everyone, I will always be here! Until the food and grass are handed over and the matter is settled!" Zhu Pingan stared at the questioning Wuxi seedlings with burning eyes, and twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, "So, what else do you have?" Worrying?! Could it be that this official is not worth three thousand stones?!"

After hearing that Zhu Ping'an said that he would always be here, all the Wuxi seedlings fell silent.

"Toast, and everyone, if you listen to me, then return the food and grass, the people, and submit to me. I will forgive your sins, give you [-] stones of grain and grass, and give you thousands of acres of wasteland. Farming, you don't have to worry about your livelihood anymore; if you don't listen to me, you can capture this official or kill him, but then you will have to bear the anger of the [-] army outside, and the court's Xingshi. Extermination of genocide and sacrifice is definitely not a threat. It is not difficult to choose one of the two, right?" Zhu Pingan's eyes were burning, scanning Mrs. Yilan and the Wuxi seedlings.

"If you really sympathize with us as you said, our Wuxi Miao clan is willing to surrender to you."

Mrs. Yilan looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes.

"Once I say what I say, it's hard to chase after me!" Zhu Pingan said firmly.

"What are you all doing in a daze, don't hurry up and meet your lord with your old body!" Mrs. Yilan reprimanded all the Wuxi Man, breaking her crutches.

"See you sir!"

A group of Wuxi seedlings bowed down together under the leadership of Mrs. Yilan.
