Under the scorching sun.

Six headless corpses were lying on the ground in a row.

The strong smell of blood attracted countless flies, making buzzing sounds as they flew up and down, and the scorching sun above their heads made people feel restless.

Sun Zhi held the tax collector's head in his hand, took off the head of the horn, and asked, "Green Harrier, what are the notorious landlords and wealthy families in Linzi County?"

"Hu Yuanwai of Shangdong Village, Ge Yuanwai of Mei Village, and Chen Yuanwai of Shikou Village..."

Green Harrier is known to you, and it blurts out a series of names like a dish.

Sun Zhi was immediately happy and joked: "Isn't there anyone with better reputation in Linzi County?"

"When Xu was here, the pheasants passing by had to leave their hair behind. Those with conscience had long been destroyed by their troubled family. Wouldn't the rest be unintentional?"

Green Harrier's words made everyone laugh.

After laughing, a bandit asked, "Third Brother, why should we do it?"

"No hurry!"

Sun Zhi waved his hand and said confidently: "This man, if he is not forced into a desperate situation and feels that he still has a glimmer of hope to survive, he will be lucky. He always thinks that if he endures, he will endure it, and he will have a good life if he endures it."

"That's the reason!"

The other bandits nodded and agreed.

"So, they have to be forced into a hurry. If the rabbit is anxious, it will bite people!"

Sun Zhi calmed down his smile and threw the head of the horn in his hand over: "Green Harrier took off the tax collector's clothes. In the past few days and nights, he went to various villages with clothes, and said that Ding's money had doubled. The rest of the people cooperated and fanned the fire."

"Get orders!"

Everyone responded.

...

...

Xiaowang Village.

Four rays of black smoke rushed straight into the sky.

Now the whole village is filled with a smell of coal.

There is no way, burning the earth kiln will cause some environmental pollution.

There is no solution at present, so I can only move the kiln into the mountains later, far away from Xiaowang Village.

To be honest, the development speed of Xiaowang Village far exceeded Han Zhen’s expectations.

The villagers of Xiaodong Village reunite seemed to open a floodgate.

In the next few days, fugitives and villagers from other villages came to surrender.

Before we knew it, the population of Xiaowang Village was close to 2,000.

At the originally empty halfway up the mountain, simple straw sheds appeared.

The deserted fields in the village have long been divided, and each household is only given a bucket of rice and grain.

Fortunately, these villagers who came to join did not care, because Xiaowang Village has many ways to make money.

Reclaim wasteland, recruit workers, join the army, or do odd jobs.

At first, the soldiers were finally willing to spend money, and they built new houses at home, all of which were brick and tile houses.

In the past, if anyone in the village built a house, neighbors would help him help.

If you don’t have money, if the master’s family takes care of a meal, they will praise the master’s family for being righteous.

After all, everyone was poor at that time and they really couldn't afford to pay.

But now it’s different. If you don’t pay a salary, who will help you build a house?

Everyone is very precious and they are busy making money!

In addition, you can also take on some military tasks, such as making bamboo armor.

Anyway, as long as you are not a lazy man and are willing to work hard, you will definitely not starve to death in Xiaowang Village.

If you want to talk about the most lively place in Xiaowang Village today, it should be the market at the entrance of the village.

However, what surprised Han Zhen was that just after he opened the three shops, a fourth shop soon appeared in the market.

The owner of the shop is Carpenter Chen, who sells furniture.

It can only be said that business development is an inevitable product of human society.

Just provide a platform, or even without guidance, there will naturally be smart people coming in.

...

It's night.

On the military camp, Han Zhen taught the soldiers as usual.

In just five days, the number of soldiers has expanded to 340.

This is because Han Zhen intends to control the number of people, only picking those young and strong who are brave and have relatively better physical fitness, otherwise the number will be even greater.

The reason is very simple, the treatment of soldiers is so good.

Three dry meals a day and one meat meal a day.

In order to eat meat, the wild beasts in the nearby three mountains were almost caught by them.

"This word is pronounced as 'literature', a penny of two penny..."

As the class was being taught, a yelled from the village: "Open the door quickly, I have something important to report!"

Han Zhen's eyes narrowed, and the chalk in his hand was broken into two pieces.

The next moment, the village gate was opened and a boy ran in panting.

This person is Qiu Niu. A few days ago, Han Zhen called someone to pick him up from Songshanling. He is currently a spy in the army, responsible for inquiring about the information of the county town and surrounding villages and towns.

Since he learned that Song Huizong collected Ding Shi money from all walks of life across the country, he knew that he would not be peaceful in the near future, so he made preparations in advance.

As he approached Han Zhen, Qiu Niu gasped and said, "Village Chief, the villagers of Mei Village have rebelled. They killed Ge Yuanwai and called themselves the Treasure Army."

Wow!

The soldiers were in an uproar.

Although Han Zhen also killed the officials and occupied Xiaowang Village, he did not raise the anti-bank and blatantly said that he wanted to rebel.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

If you don’t raise the flag, you will be a bandit at most. Although you are arrested by the government, it will also be a death sentence.

But the problem is that local officials generally do not pay attention to the bandits. Even if they suppress the bandits, they will recruit some archer soldiers and inspectors.

For example, Song Jiang, the government positioned him as a bandit.

Therefore, even though Song Jiang led thousands of people across several states, there was no army to be dispatched. When Zhang Shuye suppressed Song Jiang, he was all the village soldiers and archers.

But rebellion is different. The state will dispatch troops to suppress it as soon as possible.

Han Zhen asked, "Who is the leader?"

No one led the way and shouted, and the villagers would run up the mountain at most, and they would never dare to kill the landlords and wealthy families to rebel.

Qiu Niu replied: "I don't recognize it, I only heard that I call him Sun Dasheng."

Dasheng Sun?

Han Zhen looked a little strange, and then asked again: "Where did they go when you came back?"

"It seems to be heading towards Shikou Village!"

Qiu Niu was not sure, it was too dark and he didn't dare to get close.

He patted his shoulder and Han Zhen ordered: "You are rushing to the county town now. If there is any abnormal movement, come back and report immediately."

"Get orders!"

Qiu Niu nodded and quickly stepped out of the parody.

Others may not know, but Han Zhen knew very well how quickly the snowball rolled up once the uprising broke out.

Once a village revolts, you only need to find a few more villages and kill a few landlords, and you will be able to immediately engulf thousands of farmers.

If you absorb some more fugitives, there would be tens of thousands of people, which would be enough to attack the county town.

When is the best time to attack the county town?

Of course it is now.

Taking advantage of the night, I will attack him unpredictably.

Could it be that we have to wait until dawn tomorrow and then go to attack the city with great swagger?

Watching him leave, Han Zhen shouted loudly: "Nie Dong!"
