Chapter 129 Xuanju
The spring breeze blew away the morning light, and among the endless ridges, farmers skillfully digged the land. In recent years, the court has reduced and exempted corvee labor several times, and the cheap rent and tax on public fields has also caused a large number of tenants from aristocratic families to rent and plant public fields. For the sake of their own land, the aristocratic families can only reduce the rent and tax to a lower level than public fields to recruit tenants, and there is no need to worry about the aristocratic families lying for their debts. As long as they sign the document, the court will take care of this matter.
"A few days ago, I heard that the county magistrate and the county magistrate were all imprisoned. Do you think the court is not afraid of those aristocratic families rebelling?" A farmer finished his morning farming, sat among the fields and ate the lunch he brought, and chatted with his companions beside him.
"I'm afraid of it, haven't you heard that the general has cultivated a large number of talents among the people over the past ten years, in order to replace those corrupt officials. Hey, I'm going to tell me that it's better to behead all the wealthy and unkind families." My companions said disdainfully.
In fact, aristocratic families are not really unkind. Many children of aristocratic families have excellent personal morality, but people’s bad nature is here. They always like to see people with much higher status than themselves in unlucky luck.
In recent years, the imperial court has become increasingly strict in the control of the officialdom. It is very common for county magistrates, county magistrates, and county magistrates to be dismissed and investigated. Not to mention county magistrates, officials at the prefecture level are often replaced. Although many people do not understand the crimes announced by the court, they do not prevent them from relieving them.
This kind of thinking was also related to the chaos in the administration of officials when Lu Bu first began to govern the Five Prefectures. Many officials relied on the fact that Lu Bu was no one available at that time to save their personal talents. Now the ten years have passed. During these ten years, some people who were unable to cultivate their magic power have been sent out from the Chen Tower to make up for the official vacancies. These people have no talent for cultivation, but it does not mean that they do not have other talents.
Although it is inevitable that the local military power will be protected at the beginning, after getting familiar with government affairs, these people who may have been trained in Chenta for decades quickly transformed their learning into practicality, which is not worse than those officials of those aristocratic families. Of course, governing local areas does not only rely on ability, but also coordinate local forces, that is, some local tyrants.
In the past, most officials had to get along and win over, but this time, Lu Bu had the intention to eliminate local tyrants, so when new officials took office, local troops would often follow and protect them secretly. In this light and dark, countless local tyrants were removed.
The people do not care what the existence of these people means. The demise of local snakes is enough to relieve themselves. More importantly, life is getting better and better. With surplus grain at home, it is the most realistic. Therefore, Lu Bu is becoming more and more famous among the people. Now, the court has almost begun to applaud if any official is held. Anyway, the people killed by the general must be bad people. The concept of dog officials has taken root in the hearts of the lower class.
This may not be a good thing, but people are like this, and it is easy to form blind worship. Of course, the benefits are visible at the moment. Any Lu Bu's decree is now being accepted by the people after it is issued.
"The days are so fast, ten years have passed so quickly!" The companion leaned under the shade of the tree, looked at the farmland in the distance, and laughed: "Since I learned this breathing technique from my son, why don't you say that your body is getting better and better, and I've become much stronger and I'm not tired at all when I plow the fields."
The mysterious horse was extremely fast and appeared behind everyone in an instant. With a nipples on his head, he rolled the three of them in. When the mouth was closed, blood splattered out of the mouth, and the screams disappeared. Only the sour chewing sound made everyone's souls burst out, and their scalp was numb and they ran faster.
Every time the Xuan Ju eats, he will stop and continue to chase after him after eating, which gives others an opportunity to take advantage of it.
At the gate of the village village, several young and strong men bent their bows and arrows, and kept shooting the clusters of arrows at the Xuan horse. However, the clusters of arrows fell on the Xuan horse, but the sound of metal collisions made, and the clusters of arrows were bounced open one after another.
How can I fight this?
Everyone looked at this scene in despair. Even the reinforced village wall might not be able to withstand the monster's mouth sweeping, especially as they watched familiar villagers die under the mouthpiece, many people were both sad and desperate.
"A villain, you dare to hurt people in Xia Pi!" Just as everyone was desperate, hundreds of flying boats flew from afar in the sky. Before he finished speaking, arrows fell from the sky on the head of the Xuan Qiao. The shells that were not broken before were easily shot through by these rain of arrows falling from the sky. The two tentacles above Xuan Qiao's head were shaking wildly, and her head was also trying hard to lift up, as if she wanted to bite these flying boats with her mouthpiece.
"Destroy!"
A figure fell from the sky, like a meteorite falling from the sky, and it hit the Xuanjiao's mouthpart, which seemed to be invincible. With a sound, the Xuanjiao's head and the mouthpart instantly exploded, leaving only two parts of the body that had lost its head twitching unconsciously.
A tall figure slowly walked out of the smoke and dust. The woman was tall and seemed to be exposed to the sun all year round, making her skin bronze. There was also a wound on her face that penetrated her left cheek, but it did not damage her beauty. She looked at her beautiful eyes and was arrogant without anger. Her eyes were like swords, making people dare not look directly at her.
The flying boat in the sky slowly descended, and a girl jumped off the flying boat, looked at the corpse and said, "Strange, it's just a monster that has just awakened its demonic energy. Why does this place have such a great demonic energy reaction?"
No matter how fast the flying boats in the Demon-Suppressing Office were, it would be impossible for them to fly over here shortly after something happened. Instead, the Demon-Suppressing Office found that there was a strong demonic reaction here and then rushed here, but the Xuan Qiao in front of him was obviously not that strong.
"Shangxiang, go back to the flying boat!" Naturally, it was Lu Lingqi who fell from the sky. The area she was responsible for was Xuzhou. As for the girl around her, Sun Ce's sister Sun Shangxiang. Because Sun Ce was recruited by Lu Bu into the Chentao to practice, Sun Quan could not control his sister. After the repulsion period, he went out to play and met Lu Lingqi. He was impressed by Lu Lingqi's heroic spirit. Since then, he has followed Lu Lingqi to suppress monsters all over the world. She was innocent and romantic, but she has been used to seeing the sinister world in the past ten years. She has less naiveness and more temperament similar to Lu Lingqi.
