Become a feudal king from today

"You only need to tell the people that our royal family's fields only charge 10% of the rent. Read"

"10% rent!" Liu Fu was shocked, "Your Highness, such a low price is almost equivalent to letting the people cultivate our land in vain. The wealthy families in Yan County can harvest 80% of their land."

"I don't know, but how can I lose people's hearts because of small gains? Only in this way can I win over the people of Yan County for my use. Don't forget, except for the wealthy people of Yan County, autumn is over after summer."

Liu Fu shivered. Autumn was the time for the Beidi people to come.

Now the whole Yanzhou has changed its color after hearing about Beidi, and he is no exception.

"I understand, little one, let's do it now!" Liu Fu turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Zhao Xu stopped Liu Fu, "A humble family is by no means humble. This world is made of the blood and sweat of countless people. Also, I will call myself a lower official in the future."

"Young... I understand." Liu Fu turned around, a crystal teardrop falling from the corner of his eye.

this moment.

King Yan asked him to die, and he was willing.

The next day.

Liu Fu got up early, before recruiting people for the palace's property.

He still had something to do, which was to execute Zhang Han.

During this period, Zhang Han did a lot of bad things in the name of the palace.

He wanted to kill Zhang Han first to clear the name of the palace.

"When I first arrived in Yan County, I was blessed with the gift of heaven and was able to recover from my madness. However, when I was ill, Prince Fu Zhang Han imprisoned me, abused his power, issued harsh policies and caused hardship to the people. His crimes were extremely heinous, and I am beheading him today." In Dongshi, he became famous as the royal palace."

Yancheng East City.

This is the place where the government executed prisoners on death row.

At this time, Zhang Han was kneeling in the middle of the execution ground, surrounded by people who came to watch the execution.

On the viewing platform behind the execution ground, Liu Fu was no longer dressed as a servant, but instead put on the official uniform of the royal palace.

Next to him, there was a middle-aged man, wearing a vermilion official robe, with a long beard and elegant appearance.

He is none other than Zhang Kang, the governor of Yan County, and the younger brother of Zhang Qian.

Yesterday, he had just returned from Fanyang County, the seat of Yanzhou, and learned from his brother Zhang Qian that King Yan had recovered from his madness.

Although he felt unhappy, he still decided to visit King Yan today and maintain the superficial courtesy.

Unexpectedly, he met the team escorting Zhang Han on the way.

After inquiring, he learned that the palace had changed its Fu Wang and wanted to execute Zhang Han. He had no choice but to greet the newly appointed Fu Wang and follow him to the execution ground.

"Cousin, save me, save me..."

The executioner pulled out the death card stuck behind him, and Zhang Han's crotch immediately became wet.

Turning his head, he desperately asked Zhang Kang for help.

"Cousin?" Liu Fu deliberately glanced sideways at Zhang Kang.

"A brave prisoner, when he is about to die, he still dares to talk nonsense." Zhang Kang felt guilty for a while, he and Zhang Han had done a lot of things behind his back.

Now that Zhang Han was a prisoner, he wished he would die immediately to avoid involving himself.

After all, a crazy and stupid King Yan is completely different from a normal King Yan.

His Zhang family was powerful in Yan County, but Yan County was ultimately the fiefdom of King Yan.

In name, all military and political power, including life and death, were vested in the King of Yan.

"Cousin, you are so heartless, don't forget how many things I have done for your Zhang family..." Zhang Han shouted hoarsely.

"Behead me, behead me!" Zhang Kang picked up the command arrow and threw it out.

After the arrow fell to the ground, the executioner put away his knife and dropped it, and a human head rolled to the ground.

"Chief Zhang, what do you mean?" Liu Fu frowned, Zhang Kang completely ignored him.

He is the chief executioner, can Zhang Kang lose this arrow?

"Oh, it's a sin, it's a sin. I was so angry that I forgot about it. I hope Wangfu will punish me." Zhang Kang bowed and apologized repeatedly.

When he lowered his head, there was a disdainful smile on his lips.

Liu Fu's eyes narrowed, but he smiled instantly. He finally understood the arrogance of Yan County's wealthy officials.

"That's all."

Liu Fu turned around and ignored Zhang Kang.

In addition to killing Zhang Han to clear the name of the palace, he also had important things to do today, which was to recruit people for the palace's farm.

Regardless of who lost the command arrow, Zhang Han's death has aroused discussion among the people.

"It turns out that this decree was not issued by the palace."

"That's right, I heard that King Yan was mad before. How could he issue such a decree?"

"It's a good death. It's really satisfying. It seems that King Yan is a sensible person."

"No more tax increases, that's great."

"..."

There was noisy discussion, Liu Fu smiled, but Zhang Kang's face was very ugly.

Obviously, Zhang Han's head restored the palace's reputation.

This is not good news for the wealthy families in Yan County.

If the people all return to King Yan, how will they benefit the people from now on?

He was secretly worried when he heard another word from Liu Fu and his expression completely changed.

"There is another thing today. His Royal Highness the King of Yan loves the people of Yan County. The palace has 60,000 acres of farmland and wants to recruit people to work on it. The harvest of the fields can only be 1 out of 10. If you are willing, you can go to the palace to sign a contract. Children and old men will not be deceived. Liu Fu said loudly.

"One out of ten, did I hear it correctly?"

The people under the execution ground immediately exploded, and fierce discussions resounded throughout the sky.

"I also heard it was one out of ten."

"There is also such a good thing, the land of the wealthy family is eight out of ten."

"If this is true, King Yan is indeed a wise king."

"..."

While some people were discussing, some people quietly left the execution ground and ran towards the palace.

Later, more and more people came around.

Those who had property at home notified their relatives who didn't have property, while those who didn't have property went crazy and went to the palace to see what was going on.

Not long after, all the people in the execution ground disappeared.

"His Royal Highness, King Yan, is really good at it." Zhang Kang smiled half-heartedly. With just one move, King Yan's honor changed from black to white.

It ruined his and Zhang Han's plan to kill two birds with one stone by deliberately profiting the Zhang family and ruining the reputation of Prince Yan's palace.

"Your Highness just doesn't want the property to be empty, so Sheriff Zhang doesn't need to worry." Liu Fu smiled, turned and left.

Zhang Kang raised his feet and wanted to go to the palace.

But then I thought about it and decided to go back to Zhang's house immediately to discuss the matter with my brother.

After he returned home, he was unhappy when he learned that his brother was greedy for huge profits and spent a lot of money and land in exchange for the method of making ice.

I only regretted that I was no longer in Yan County and could not stop it.

After King Yan came to Yan County, he colluded with Zhang Han and tried every means to drain the prince's property in order to make it difficult for Prince Yan's house to have no money and make it difficult to accomplish anything.

Now, it's all ruined.

But before he went far, he saw many young men heading towards the palace.

Suspicious in his heart, he immediately asked his servants to go and inquire.

"Second Master, the Prince of Yan's Mansion is recruiting pro-army troops. It is said that they can only pay three taels of silver a month. All these young men have gone to join the army." The servant came back with an envious look on his face.

"Thirty-two?" Zhang Kang frowned.

No wonder these young men are so active. In Yan County, one tael of silver is enough for a family to live, and three taels of silver can live very comfortably.

The military salary of ordinary soldiers in Dasong is only one tael.

King Yan gave all his own troops the treatment of the Dasong Imperial Army.

"We have money and food, we have the people, and now we have soldiers. This King Yan is so powerful. If this continues, Yan County will really belong to him, King Yan. No way." Zhang Han's death was right in front of him.

The Zhang family had done a lot of shameful things with Zhang Han behind their backs.

If Zhao Xu is really allowed to control Yan County, the fate of the Zhang family will be hard to predict.

Returned to Zhang’s house.

He found Zhang Qian who was walking the bird and told him everything he saw and heard.

"I already know about this." Zhang Qian sneered, "Now that we have the ice-making method, we don't need to worry about Prince Yan's Mansion. Humph, he wants to become big in Yan County, it's just a dream!"

Zhang Kang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Brother, you already have a countermeasure?"

Zhang Qian nodded slightly. He knew that Zhang Kang was dissatisfied with his method of purchasing ice, but Zhang Kang didn't know that he had already planned it.

To him, Yan County belongs to the Zhang family and no one can touch it, including Prince Yan's Mansion.

After all, anyone with a little bit of intelligence can see the weakness of the royal family now. Maybe within a few years, the world will be at war.

Therefore, how could he let Yan County fall into the hands of King Yan? This was his capital in the troubled times of the Zhang family.

Furthermore, Beidi was eyeing Dasong, and Yanzhou could change hands at any time, but at that time, as long as he surrendered to the Beidi people, he could still control Yanjun.

In short, with Yan County, the Zhang family has everything.

"Let King Yan be proud for a few days. I have already contacted Qingfeng Village. When their people enter the city, whether it is the crazy King Yan or the not crazy King Yan, he will become a dead King Yan."

"Qingfeng Village? How wonderful. King Yan was killed by bandits in the palace, and even the emperor could only stare. When the time comes, we can encircle and suppress Qingfeng Village, and we can still make great achievements..." Zhang Kang laughed endlessly.
