Chapter 141: Dividing the Land

"When the harvest is good next year, we will have enough to eat."

"Let's not just watch the fun. While we have time, pick up the hoe and turn the land over."

People around were talking about it. For ordinary people, after the pirates were driven away, they cultivated the crops well, which was no different from before. At most, the types of crops changed, and they still relied on the land for food.

Now that General Duan is in charge of this place, we have to listen to him.

The people watching the excitement nearby were about to disperse. The faint sunlight from the sky shone on everyone. Hoes, sickles and other tools were scattered on the ground. The yellow-brown soil was mottled on the tip of the hoe, and the exposed sharp corners reflected the cold silver light.

The few people behind Zhu Lian were all in their twenties or thirties, wearing gray or brown trousers and long skirts. The clothes were quite worn out, and the belts were unevenly tilted to one side. They lowered their heads and kept silent, obviously persuaded by the people around them.

They followed Zhu Lian to make trouble. They were not very courageous. They only dared to shout a few times behind him. Without Zhu Lian as the leader, they would not dare to make trouble. At this time, Duan Shubai brought Zhang Changle and others over. The two of them were tall and mighty like northerners, with terrifying eyes. They were far different from the local thin and short coastal people in terms of body shape and momentum.

Fangda, Liushan and others behind Zhu Lian had long been stunned by the sudden appearance of Duan Shubai. Fangda was also a lazy man. He used to work under a bearded pirate and lived a good life by flattering others. He was very happy to bully men and women. Later, when he heard that General Duan was coming, he burst into tears and joined everyone to resist the "pirates".

Duan Shubai drove the pirates away, but his life became difficult. Similar to Zhu Lian's situation, they used to drive others to work, but now he had to work by himself, and he couldn't be cunning, which made Fangda very angry.

Zhu Lian and others instigated him a few words and said a lot of bad things about General Duan, and he started to make trouble.

Fang Da's small eyes secretly watched Zhu Lian and Duan Shubai in front of him, and he was terrified. He was a bully who was afraid of evil. He originally wanted to follow Zhu Lian to make a few troubles, argue with those guards, play tricks and do nothing, and still do his old tricky and slippery ways.

Compared with those pirates who killed people at every turn, the guards under Duan Shubai would not take their lives easily, which was also the reason why Fang Da and others dared to make a big fuss.

As for rogues like them, not to mention the village chief, even the former county magistrate could not control them.

Fang Da had originally planned this, but he didn't expect that two high officials would descend from the sky after their commotion. Fang Da shrank his neck and secretly glanced at Zhu Lian. He didn't expect that this big brother Zhu had such a hard temper and dared to "argue" in front of the famous General Duan.

My goodness, is he going to die?

Although General Duan was kind to the civilians, he was extremely cruel to the bandits and pirates who burned, killed and looted before. He raised his hand and fell with a knife, white knife in, red knife out.

Fang Da would never forget the heroic appearance of the Yangzhou soldiers when they fought against the pirates.

Thinking of this, Fang Da stopped his arrogance in his heart, lowered his eyebrows and half squatted down, stretched his right hand down, and tried to grab a wooden hoe scattered on the ground.
