Wen Chou returned from Chen Peng with a lot of loads and was in a bad mood.

The next thing was simple. When Wen Chou made a quick suggestion, he immediately promised to lend the books in his home, but only asked that he could freely copy the books in the library. Wen Chou agreed without thinking.

The problem of this book source has been solved. Jiang Cheng provided 400 volumes of books! Look, bamboo slips filled with five large bookcases occupied a huge room, which really scared Wen Chou. If all of them were copied, it would take only a few years to make it happen. Jiang Hui's family had fewer books, with about a hundred volumes. Except for those repeated with Jiang Cheng's family, there were only about fifty volumes, but there were quite a lot. Wen Chou then searched about fifty volumes from several wealthy families, and had a total of as many as five hundred volumes.

When Wen Chou released the news of the establishment of the library, scholars from all over Shahe Township were infuriated and came to Guan Temple to ask about Wen Chou's authenticity. After receiving a positive answer, he returned home with satisfaction and did not mention it.

The library problem has been solved partly, and the subsequent system of borrowing and leasing needs further discussion. After all, it is just a thought of Wen Chou, and there is still a long way to go to implement it. At present, the current situation in Shahe Township does not give him this time because the busy farming has begun. The library problem can only be postponed.

Now, it is early September! It is officially time to harvest corn and sow winter wheat.

Groups of villagers came to the Guan Temple to collect farm tools, and Wen Chou gave them the greatest satisfaction one by one. All the villagers were grateful and shouted to their parents. When they came to collect farm tools, Wen Chou also said: "After this harvest, it must be handed over to the government as a reward for their protection and life-saving resources." These refugees did not say much, and thought it was worth it. After all, Wen Chou spared no effort to give them all kinds of help in the past four or five months, so that they could overcome the difficulties smoothly! This is the grace of life.

The share Wen Chou took is really not small, but it is nothing compared to this bumper harvest year. Because these villagers have reclaimed more than twice as much land than before, looking at this year's scene, I think the harvest will be more than twice as much as usual! Why not repay the kindness? Besides, Wen Chou gave them much more help than these abundance of grains! Some people even think that Wen Chou took less!

The villagers are simple, and as officials, Wen Chou is naturally much easier.

The villagers will definitely not be able to harvest seeds without wheat seeds. However, in the hometown, they never thought that after this year's meeting, there were so many refugees in Xin'an, and they had no choice but to seek the county.

This Japanese Chou took his hometown servant Wang Chong and his soldiers from Sanshi to Pingji County.

As soon as I left the town pavilion and walked to the official road, I saw that on both sides of the official road and further away, the villagers mostly wore short browns, bowed their heads and waved their sickles, and harvested corn. There were many cheerful jokes. When I walked a little further, there were some fields of wealthy families. Most of them were wearing short browns with marks. I guess they were the disciples and maids of these families. Although their faces were not very happy, they were not as sad as usual. After all, the master's family had a bumper harvest of food, and their enslaved subordinate families would be better than usual.

Most of them were forced to surrender their land and their entire family to the landlords, forming a dependent relationship with the landlords, and had no personal freedom. They were slaves throughout the ages and lived a miserable life. They had no difference with serfs except that they could not be bought or sold. This situation was extremely common in the late Eastern Han Dynasty! The Book of the Later Han Dynasty once recorded: "There are hundreds of houses in the wealthy people, and the fields are everywhere, and the slaves are thousands of huts, and they only have ten thousand things to do." It can be seen that the degree of deterioration of their deterioration was unstoppable. The Qianshou, who was desperate, rose up.

Of course, these families are also common in Shahe Township. Even his Wen family has dozens of submissive families, but Wen Chou treats them like ordinary farmers and has never bullied them.

"I thought it was like a busy farming student just now. How many things are there in the countryside?" Wen Chou rode on his horse and suddenly spoke.

"There are about six or seven families with hundreds of thousands of families, about tens of thousands of families with hundreds of thousands of people, and there are no fewer than tens of families with millions of families. But when there are tens of families with millions of families, there are hundreds of them." Wang Chong was stunned, and immediately understood, and said in his opinion.

"Oh, then the hometown can be called a small family, the middle family, the big family, and the rich family have their own?" Wen Chou asked in a voice.

"There are 5,000 households in Shahe Township. In addition to the more than 3,000 outdoors in Xin'an recently, there are more than 1,000 local villagers, and between the branches and ten pavilions. Each pavilion must have one household with a capital of one million, and each pavilion has a capital of more than seventy miles. There are other small families with capital of ten thousand yuan, and many families with capital of ten thousand yuan, which are several times more than the capital of the family. There are also two surnames Liu and Du, who can have a capital of ten million!" Wang Chong thought for a moment and said with emotion. He himself is a village assistant, responsible for assisting those who are in charge of order and collecting taxes. He is naturally a clean family of wealthy families in the village.

"Oh, it seems that one or two of the population in the hometown have been ordered by others!" Wen sighed inexplicably and said.

"It's time and fate. Mr. Wen has many plans for the countryside. He has long been worthy of being a prime minister and has a duty to be in order. How can he sigh?" Wang Chong said respectfully.

"Although I am worthy of the emperor and the court, I have never saved the people from the fire and water. What do you think about the frequent occurrence of bandits and rebels rampant in the present?" Wen frowned slightly and said cautiously.

"Haha, I understand the meaning of Wenjun. The poor and poor bandits are often poor, and they do not feed and do not cover their clothes, so they are willing to be desperate. However, local tyrants, cling to their own enslaves, and bring their own swords and weapons, thus they are unjust. They are rebels for the sake of the bandits' law." Wang Chong smiled and said with a smile.

"It is Zixiao who judges a gentleman with the heart of a villain. He is guilty." Wen Chou smiled knowingly when he heard this. However, he did not expect that Wang Chong, a small village assistant, could also say such words. Although he could not explain the root of the current chaos clearly, he could also analyze it from the grassroots level. Then he continued: "Just as Chong Zhi said, then, where is the solution now?"

"The solution is nothing more than to eliminate public grievances and resolve the heroic soldiers." Wang Chong said without hesitation in response to the reasons he said just now. It is obvious that he has already thought about it.

"Eliminate public resentment and relieve the strong soldiers, okay, okay. Now Chongzhi thinks, where is my sigh?" Wen Chou sighed twice and suddenly asked.

"Mr. Wen wants to suppress the rich clans in the village to save their followers?" Wang Chong said in surprise. For the rich clans, being the second fundamental of them can be said to be their second fundamental! The most important thing is of course wealth, and being the only one is the power of these powerful clans in a sense. Wen Chou wanted to take the powerful clans' forces into action, and Wang Chong had to be surprised and even more panicked.

"It's not about 'rescue', but 'resolving'!" Wen Chou corrected.

"Where are you talking about this?" Wang Chong didn't dare to be careless and asked immediately. If Wen Chou did not give an effective solution and did not anger the rich, Wang Chong would not dare to tie him to a chariot with him, a rank who always had different words and deeds than ordinary people. He still cherished his life very much.

"It's nothing more, it's just to improve the living conditions of some people. Otherwise, the people who are in the village will become richer and richer will definitely have a comparative heart, which will breed other hearts, and may not have any incursions!" Wen Chou sighed.

"So how can we improve and only attach ourselves to our living conditions?" Wang Chong was still not satisfied after hearing Wen Chou's explanation, and then asked.

"'rescue' will definitely touch the interests of the wealthy family, and it is not done by the wise.' 'interpretation' will give benefits to the wealthy family, so as to gradually resolve the state of being attached to serfs. This is 'interpretation'." Wen Chou saw this and said.

"That is, it is a 'solve', and there will be no more weapons?" Wang Chong said with some concern.

"Yes, everyone is going to benefit, and the wealthy clans will not be blocked." Wen Chou said. He just didn't say that he would definitely not use swords and weapons. Just saying that swords and weapons are not the first method.

"In this way, as long as you are not opposed to the heroic family, this matter can be accomplished. But you should also be careful." Wang Chong thought about it and then sighed.

In the following time, the two of them were not talking, but each had their own thoughts. Wen Chou thought carefully about what kind of interests would make the wealthy families give up such a big help. Wang Chong thought, if Wen Chou really did what he said just now, what would he do? Follow Wen Chou immediately, if there is no major change, he will definitely be able to rise in the future; if Wen Chou is also closely following Wen Chou, if Wen Chou fails in the future, it will inevitably lead to disaster. It is a tangle!

A team of more than 30 people slowly headed towards Pingji County as the discussions and chats of the Guizhou people who were busy harvesting on both sides of the official road.

Pingji County is more prosperous than before. I think it will be about to return to the previous appearance of the thieves and thieves. These have a lot to do with the newly built Taolin Camp Army headquarters in the territory.

The Guizhou leaders in the county were happy to talk about the "chivalrous Xiaosanlang" Wen Chou, who has become famous in the county recently. He talked about the position of a rank and magistrate! The management of Shahe Township is prosperous. From time to time, he was also heard of his heroic deeds of going deep into the thief camp and killing the thief generals, which really satisfy the gossip of the people of Guizhou.

On this day, Wen Chou took Wang Chong and Sanshi Township soldiers to the gate of Pingji County. He saw those who were waiting to enter the city from a distance, and frowned. Wang Chong was alert and called the village soldiers to explain. The matter was much simpler afterwards. The gatekeeper heard that the rumored "chivalrous Xiaosanlang" Wen Chou came, so he did not dare to neglect. After careful inspection, with the thought of admiration, Wen Chou and his group passed first.
