In this prosperous Great Tang, there was actually someone who would almost be forced to his death, saying that there was no place for him to live in the vast Great Tang.
"Your Highness, Prince Liang, I…" The mother cried.
"Live on, and see with your own eyes the prosperity of the Great Tang that I, Li Rui, have created. Watch your child grow up.”Li Rui encouraged.
The mother and son were both crying. Huo Qubing had arrived with nine thousand soldiers from the Northern Liang. The black flag fluttered as he stopped behind Li Rui.
"My lord!" Huo Qubing cupped his fists and said.
The fat man Wan Chang's face was pale. He looked at the nine thousand soldiers of the Northern Liang Army and finally understood that he had provoked an iron plate. He knelt on the ground with a thud.
Li Rui said indifferently,"You hurt the people of Wannian County. You deserve to be punished!"”
"Trampling on a seedling is a crime that deserves death!"
"If you encroach on a farmer's fertile land, your three clans will be wiped out!”
Li Rui pulled out the Overlord Spear and slashed horizontally. A head flew up and blood splattered across the sky.
Wan Chang was killed in public, and the remaining hundred slaves were extremely terrified.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive!" Li Rui said indifferently.”
Huo Qubing raised his Black Gold Crossbow, and the Northern Liang Army behind him raised their crossbows as well. They allowed the hundreds of slaves to flee in all directions. The elites who had long reached the level of a hundred feet long shot out their crossbows.
Kill all 100 slaves, they should be killed according to their crimes!
The Beiliang army's accurate crossbow shots did not hurt a single farmer.
Li Rui asked Dian Wei to drag all the corpses away. He was slightly surprised that the system had given him 200 merit points. He did not expect that killing such a person would also give him merit points.
Wan Chang was born in the local Wan family, and today, he occupied ten acres of fertile land. He connived at his servant to kill two refugees and said that the refugees were all slaves!
Li Rui turned his horse and led his troops straight to the Wan Clan.
Today, Li Rui wanted to confiscate his family's property and kill people!
This was a form of intimidation, a warning to the monkeys.
Accepting refugees to settle down in Wannian County and increasing production was an important part of Li Rui's plan. Whoever dared to destroy it would be killed!
The farmer's eyes were filled with gratitude as he watched Li Rui leave with his troops.
There were more than 70 people in the Wan Family in a luxurious courtyard. They owned thousands of fertile fields, more than 100 servants, and dozens of maidservants. They were indeed a big family in Wannian County!
The elite troops of the Northern Liang arrived on horseback, scaring the faces of all the people.
The white-haired old man walked out with his walking stick and said in a trembling voice,""The old clan leader of the Wan clan pays his respects to the general. The residence has already prepared good wine and delicacies.”
"My name is Li Rui." Li Rui smiled faintly.
This indifferent smile almost scared the white-haired old man to death!
Who in the Great Tang did not know of Prince Liang?!
Li Rui, King of Liang of the Tang Dynasty, had previously led 3,000 elite troops to guard the Beacon Fort for 15 days and killed nearly 50,000 Tubo soldiers. Later, he led 9,000 elite troops of the Northern Liang Dynasty to defeat 100,000 Tubo soldiers and killed more than 96,000 people, almost completely wiped out.
What kind of battle record was this? He was a war god!
He was only twelve years old, yet he had achieved such a legendary battle record. Furthermore, he was a prince of the Tang Empire. There were rumors among the people that if Prince Liang ascended the throne, he would definitely be a wise ruler of a generation, perhaps surpassing Emperor Ming!
Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty was Li Longji, Emperor Xuan of the Tang Dynasty!
Now that the Prince of Liang had led his troops here, the old man was extremely afraid. He also recognized that the nine thousand people behind Li Rui were probably the elites of the Northern Liang who had defeated the Tibetan army!
Cao Cao said seriously," Wan Chang of the Wan Clan led a hundred slaves and occupied ten acres of fertile land. He bullied the new residents of Wannian County and even injured and killed more than ten people. He destroyed the seedlings of the fields and was sentenced to death. Three clans were wiped out!”
The Wan family was shocked.
The old man cried bitterly,"This unfilial son has brought disaster upon our Wan clan!"”
"My lord, aren't the three tribes too cruel?”Sima Yi tried to dissuade him.
This was not good for Li Rui's reputation. Moreover, the Wan family was a local big family. If they were all killed, it would definitely cause a great uproar in Chang 'an.
Li Rui sneered,"If you pity them, then what crime do the refugees have?" What crime does a child have?"
Sima Yi fell silent.
The old man knelt down." Your Highness, we are also citizens of the Great Tang. Not all of our Wan family are evil people. I am willing to donate all of my Wan family's land to beg for your forgiveness!”
The Wan clansmen and servants knelt down in fear and begged for mercy.
"Don't kill the old, the young, the women, and the children.”The first thing Li Rui had done was not to set a precedent.
Through the Wan Clan's incident, Li Rui wanted to intimidate all the nobles in Wannian County. They must not do anything too overboard, or their entire clan would be exterminated!
Huo Qubing's eyes were cold as he raised his crossbow and shot it at the crowd.
The crossbowmen could distinguish between the old and the young, women and children, and they pulled the trigger almost instantly. All the adult males of the Wan family were shot dead. Most of them were like Wan Chang, who bullied the surrounding residents on a daily basis.
The Wan family handed over thousands of acres of land for Sima Yi to use.
Wannian County now had 15000 hectares of land, which was 750000 mu of land. Moreover, Li Rui had ordered that the wasteland be reclaimed. As long as it was reclaimed, it would belong to this family permanently and could be passed down to future generations.
All the refugees who came to Wannian County were given one mu of fertile land. With the seeds and fertilizers given by Li Rui, five mu of land was enough for a family of five.
The farmers would not be able to manage the land.
750,000 mu of fertile land, the next year's harvest would be at least 700 million catties of grain, enough to feed a million adults for a year!
