At noon the next day, Pei Xiaoer built a high platform and hung the Wang family and his son on it. At the same time, the people in the village gathered the people in the audience, and attracted Wang Donggua and his rescued daughter-in-law to appear on the platform to expose the cruel behavior of the Wang family and his son to the world. The crowd was immediately angry and shouted to kill him.

Then, amid the shouts of killing from the people below, Pei Xiaoer read out the crimes of the Wang father and son again and ordered the execution. In the end, the Wang family, which had been in Shangwangzhuang for decades, disappeared.

The Wang father and son died, and the people were excited. In fact, the people of this era were very simple. The only thing they asked for was to have enough food. However, due to the productivity technology and political environment at this time, this small requirement cannot be met.

After the death of Wang's father and son, Pei Xiaoer was meaningless in Shangwangzhuang, and the power of the village alone could not support a large army of nearly 10,000 people. So he ordered to return to Xia County three days later.

However, there is something to deal with before the class.

Liu Xianchun has been in Wang Yuanwai's private prison for a while, and after several attempts to die, he no longer seeks death. Instead, he treated Pei Xiaoer calmly. Anyway, he had died several times, so he was worthy of the emperor.

When Pei Xiaoer arrived, Liu Xianchun was still drinking when he came to see him. When he saw Pei Xiaoer coming in, he quickly put down the wine, turned his face to the side, and he was disgusted without seeing him.

"Sir Liu, it seems that your life is good recently. I think you have gained several pounds." Pei Xiaoer saw that his childlike behavior was a little funny, so he teased him.

"Hmph" Liu Xianchun snorted heavily, neither looking at him nor speaking.

Pei Xiaoer understood Liu Xianchun’s inner thoughts. He was a Jinshi, and he was originally a noble person, but suddenly he hit the ground hard. He couldn’t react in his heart, or was unwilling to face reality. At this time, he needed a pusher, and a light push to complete the decision for him.

Seeing him like this, Pei Xiaoer was a little funny, "Mr. Liu, do you dare to go out for a walk with me?"

"Hmph, why don't you dare?" Liu Xianchun was now overwhelmed, and he didn't know what his fate would be. Since the last attempt to commit suicide, he never dared to commit suicide again. He never dared to try that feeling of being on the verge of death.

It is now autumn, and the golden wheat in the fields spreads like waves with the wind. Farmers are harvesting wheat in the fields, stopping from time to time to wipe away the sweat beads on their faces, and hope is revealed in their originally unswerving eyes. Since Wang Yuanwai, the former owner of Shangwangzhuang, has already given the title of Wang Yuanwai, all the land originally belonged to Wang Yuanwai is owned by the Pei family army.

Yes, Pei Xiaoer did not distribute all the land to the people like other time travelers. This is not because Pei Xiaoer was unwilling to do so, but even if Pei Xiaoer dared to divide it, the people would not dare to ask for it. In the eyes of most people, Pei Xiaoer's identity is still a bandit and the target of the official army's encirclement. Who knows whether Pei Xiaoer will remain here in the future?

If the land he had divided was collected, he would be tied to Pei Xiaoer's chariot. He would be surrounded and suppressed when the official army came. Therefore, the people would rather keep the same state and continue to rent the seeds. As for whether the land rented by the bandits would be surrounded and suppressed by the official army? Everyone has an ostrich in their hearts, right?

Although the land cannot be divided directly, in order to win the hearts and strengths of the people as much as possible, Pei Xiaoer has ordered that the rent tax of less than ten acres of land be exempted from renting less than ten acres. Those over ten acres are also halved, which is a real red envelope to the people. Therefore, although the harvest this year is not a good deal, the people's faces still reveal joy.

Pei Xiaoer followed Liu Xianchun on the small road outside Shangwangzhuang. He saw the growth of wheat in the fields, and then chatted with old farmers in the fields. He also experienced the feeling of harvesting wheat in this era.

Liu Xianchun didn't speak throughout the whole process, and looked at Pei Xiaoer's actions expressionlessly, and was also a little curious. There were few superiors in this era who could care so much about farming.

Pei Xiaoer put down the sickle in his hand, slaps the floating soil on his body, and walks towards the next piece of land. "Zhongfang (Liu Xianchun's name), how many years have you been a county magistrate? Do you know how much stone tax and grain has Xia County paid in recent years? How much grain and silver?"

Liu Xianchun recalled that in recent years, Xia County suffered natural disasters and the people were living in poverty. He was also a country and the people. He thought about how to pay less taxes when he argued with his superiors. It seemed that he had never paid much taxes.

"There have been natural disasters for years and the people are so poor that I can't bear to force them too much?" Liu Xianchun was a little disdainful.

"You are a good official, but you are not a good official."

Listening to Pei Xiaoer's feelings, Liu Xianchun was a little interested. He really wanted to hear how a bandit evaluated him, "How do you say this?"

"It is relative to the people who say you are a good official," Pei Xiaoer looked at his eyes and said sincerely, "You are sympathetic to the people and can risk your career being blocked to resist the urging of officials for the people. You do not want the people to force them to take out the remaining rations and pay taxes in such a difficult situation."

Pei Xiaoer sighed and continued, "You are not a good official, but for the world. The world is full of disasters, refugees attacking cities and plundering lands, and Jurchens are eyeing them. If all the officials in the world do not pay taxes like you, if the court does not have enough money and food, what can they use to provide relief to the victims and how can they use to resist the Huguan?"

After hearing Pei Xiaoer's evaluation of himself, Liu Xianchun could no longer bear it and retorted, "There are natural disasters in Xia County, so where can I get taxes, money and food? Do I have to force all my rule to rebel for the sake of the disaster victims in other places?"

"Is there really no silver in Xia County? Or do you dare not get the silver at all?"

Pei Xiaoer's words directly stung Liu Xianchun's heart. He understood who Pei Xiaoer was talking about. In fact, he had been avoiding the situation in his heart. The Ming Dynasty was a hierarchical society, and the highest hierarchy was naturally the emperor, and the emperor was the literati. Liu Xianchun, who was also a literati, would never dare to attack the literati.

Seeing that Liu Xianchun didn't speak, Pei Xiaoer continued, "This is the key to the problem. All the wealth in the world was taken away by those people. The court could not get the money, but it could only increase taxes from the poor people who were in a place without a single place. This led to the rich being richer and poorer the poorer, and the court's taxes became less and less. In the end, even the soldiers' military pay was not enough. Without the support of the soldiers, how could such a court not perish?"

Pei Xiaoer's words rang in Liu Xianchun's mind like a big bell, causing him to be completely silent.

When Pei Xiaoer and Liu Xianchun were talking to each other, behind a slope far away, several sneaky figures leaned their heads to observe Pei Xiaoer and Liu Xianchun.

"Did you see clearly? Is it really Liu Xianchun?" A figure behind him asked hurriedly.

"It's a bit far away, but the villain can guarantee that it's Liu Xianchun."

"Okay, just be sure, go quickly."
