Douluo: Justice Under Fire

After the recruitment of "security guards" was completed, Ning Ke began to develop towards the surrounding villages.

The so-called development does not mean collecting protection fees from villagers like Hu Siye did, but building some base areas based on farmers' associations.

Such as carrying out popular political propaganda, large-scale suppression of bandits, expanding schools, promoting literacy, building roads, ponds and dams, etc.

These things are not harmful to nature and do not violate the interests of the villagers, so most villagers are happy to see them happen.

Many villagers even applied to join the farmers' association.

In just two months, the territory controlled by Ning Ke has expanded from a few villages near the college to more than a dozen nearby villages, and the number of members of the farmers' association has also grown to more than 1000 people.

Of course, some people are still dissatisfied.

Those are the small landowners who pay land rent.

They are basically the subordinates of nearby soul masters with noble titles, and they are temporarily responsible for helping the noble soul masters manage the land.

In the Tiandou Empire, if one's soul power reaches level [-] or above, one can obtain the title of baron conferred by the empire.

When the soul power reaches level [-] or above, it is transformation.

Because those who are above level [-] can be granted the title of Viscount, and the territory owned by a Viscount can already be a small city.

Not to mention anything else, the city owner of Plavda City, a small city on the border of the empire, is a soul sect above level [-].

However, as a noble, the city lord was naturally unwilling to take care of the land himself, so he outsourced it to nearby wealthy and powerful small landowners.

For these small landowners, Ning Ke's payment of benefits to these untouchables is a slap in the face.

Even because of Nalaoshizi's ideological education, the nearby villagers were unwilling to rent their land.

This seriously violates their interests.

But they just dare not speak out.

Because a few months ago, the local tyrant Tiger Fourth Master was eliminated, which really frightened them.

Fourth Master Hu is a soul king, a soul master more powerful than the city lord of Plavda City!

Such strong men have been defeated, how can they dare to speak?

And from other people's mouths, these small landowners only knew the rumors of that day.

It is said that during the battle between the two sides, the majestic Soul King Tiger Fourth Master was turned into ashes by Ning Ke on the spot before he could even activate his martial soul.

This rumor is indeed a bit exaggerated, but after these landowners sent their slaves to Huyun Mountain to investigate, they all believed it.

It’s okay not to believe it!

Because the originally huge stockade on Huyun Mountain had been razed to the ground at some point!

How can ordinary soul masters have such means?

What's more frightening to the landowners are the bandits captured on the day of the farmers' association.

You know, nearly 200 people were arrested that day!

But after one day, it was said that only a dozen people were left alive, and they were captured and reformed in the academy!

The remaining 200 people were killed in front of the villagers!

The cheers of the villagers at that time were said to be heard within a ten-mile radius...

After these events, these landowners gradually realized one thing.

This city of Plavda has changed!

......

Three months passed slowly, and the construction of Ning Ke's base was finally on track.

Although money is consumed very quickly, Ning Ke has a 5000 million gold soul coin entrepreneurial fund given to him by Ning Fengzhi, so he doesn't have to worry about this at all.

When Ning Ke completes the land reform and the villagers have more land to cultivate and less people are exploited, he can use tax collection and other methods to collect operating funds.

After seeing everything on track, Ning Ke was in a mood of anticipation and excitement.

To be honest, he just copied the gourd in this kind of thing.

If it can succeed, it will be a small step towards promoting the social progress of Douluo Continent.

If it doesn't work, you can keep trying.

After all, he estimated that his strength was at least as strong as a titled Douluo, and there were very few people on this continent who could force him to death.

To put it simply, your fault tolerance rate is very high.

Thinking of this, Ning Ke decided to relax.

After several months of planning, his soul power had grown far slower than before.

Five months ago, Ning Ke's soul power had reached level 53, but after these five months, his soul power could only reach level 58.

Ning Ke suddenly had the idea of ​​practicing for a while.

However, as soon as he had this idea, there was a knock on the door.

The person who came in was Ning Rongrong.

Now, after Ning Ke's repeated warnings, Ning Rongrong will no longer open the office door as violently as before.

After all, this gate is considered a public property.

Ning Rongrong walked in the door with a face full of joy.

"Ning Ke, Shasha's soul power has broken through to level ten. When are we going to hunt for soul rings?"

"You mean Shasha? Her soul power has reached level ten?"

"Yes. I originally wanted to take her with Xiao Wu to hunt for soul rings, but Xiao Wu doesn't seem to like hunting for soul rings. Although Zhu Qing didn't refuse, the two of us are not strong enough."

After hearing the news, Ning Ke fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he was a little surprised.

Shasha is actually a female student in the college, and is currently the follower of the eldest sister Tou Xiaowu.

Yes, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong have formed a small group in this college.

This small group only recruits girls to prevent the already small number of female students from being bullied by other students and villagers.

Although Ning Ke has done a lot of political propaganda, feudal customs such as the clan rights of the heads of various clans and the divine rights of various gods still exist widely in some villages.

For example, a soul master that Ning Ke brought from the Qibao Glazed Sect approvingly touched the back of a well-behaved child's head during class, and the child ran home crying.

Then the child's parents came with a group of tribesmen and made trouble with sticks, saying that the child's "diming" was sacred and inviolable and could not be touched.

Once someone touches it, it is blasphemy against the gods, and the gods will launch "earth cries" to punish the world.

Fearing the gods, the villagers clamored to cut off the hand of the teacher who touched the "diming".

Ning Ke felt quite helpless about this.

Even though the people of that clan knew that they could not bring down the academy and the farmers' association of Fourth Master Hu, they still dared to wield sticks and hit the academy in order to defend their gods...

Ning Ke felt that their arrogance was actually related to the peasant association's too gentle methods. If the person touching the "Di Ming" was from Fourth Master Hu, they would not dare to say anything.

Of course, the matter was resolved easily in the end.

The members of that clan were just as loud as the thunder and the rain. When the teacher showed his three soul rings, they left angrily.

In addition, there are many feudal bad habits in some villages, one of which is that women cannot read or go to school.

Even when the Wuhun Palace sent people to awaken the children's Wuhun, the girls were not allowed to come out.

And this Shasha is from a village that has extremely strict management of women.

It can be said that if Ning Ke had not carried out extensive activities to change customs in more than a dozen nearby villages, I am afraid that a woman like Shasha with good martial arts talent would have been lost to everyone in her life.

"Rongrong, I already know about Shasha."

"Tomorrow I will ask someone to list the students who need to hunt for soul rings, and we will go get the soul rings together then."
