Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

There were some smart people in the harem who took advantage of the grain storage plan to pull out the green plants in the courtyard and plant vegetables and grains instead.

When the palace maids were discussing privately, they were heard by Emperor Renxiao. Everyone thought that the emperor would be furious, but unexpectedly, not only was he not angry, but he saw that the concubine was well-behaved and promoted her rank and favored her for several days.

There were many people in the harem who followed suit, and all the concubines followed suit in an instant.

Even Concubine Shu had to hold her nose and curse in her heart while she had her favorite crabapples and peonies pulled out and replaced with crude and vulgar things.

Everyone knows that His Majesty wants to gain some respect by stepping on the Kingdom of Yue this time, and no one wants to spoil Emperor Renxiao's fun at this time.

The situation on the desolate mountain was handled smoothly, but the situation at the mass grave was not peaceful.

When the first wave of public resentment arose, Shen Lanxi personally led the troops there.

"Whoever is causing trouble, stand up to me!"

Shen Lanxi was dressed in official uniform, and she looked majestic without even getting angry.

Dozens of people who had gathered together to oppose were so frightened that they dared not make a sound.

"If you don't want to stay at the feet of the emperor, go to the north!"

"There was a drought in the north before, and there are large tracts of vacant land. It's just right that you move there, and each person will be given 20 mu of land, so you don't have to fight over a single inch of land for a mass grave."

Is that exile?

"We won't go. Our relatives are buried in the mass graves. Why would the imperial court flatten the graves of our relatives?"

"My family's graves are all here. This is not a mass grave, this is my family's ancestral grave. The imperial court is short of food, so it can't do this. It's simply forcing us ordinary people. Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the people?"

Shen Lanxi: "You are dressed like a farmer, but you speak eloquently. You keep trying to sow discord between the court and the people. Could it be that you are a spy sent from somewhere?"

"Investigate, thoroughly investigate. If they are really spies who want to harm our Great Zhou, we will not tolerate them."

"Once discovered, all nine clans will be implicated!"

"Yes!"

The man who had been speaking righteously just now was dumbfounded. How did he become a spy and how did his entire clan be implicated?

"The court is unjust and unreasonable..."

Liu Yanhui raised his voice and said, "Congratulations! The first batch of people who are going to move to the north have arrived. All the nine clans related to him, please get ready and leave for the north to settle down within three days!"

The dozens of people gathered were all relatives, and when they heard that their future destination had been decided so hastily, they became extremely anxious.

"Please spare our lives, sir. We are just protecting the remains of our ancestors. What's wrong with that?"

"Let me ask you, sir, how would you feel if your family's grave was flattened?"

Shen Lanxi: "The court has already issued a notice to relocate the graves of the owners, and the court will give certain compensation."

"We reserved time for you, but you all ignored it. Now that the date has come, you are causing trouble. Do you think the court officials have no deterrent power at all?"

Liu Yan replied: "Don't just stand there, if you want to collect the remains, do it now. If not, go home and pack your things. In three days, soldiers will personally escort you to the north!"

The people who were causing trouble were dumbfounded.

Isn't it said that the court should not punish the masses? With so many people causing trouble, how dare the court punish all of them?

Without giving them a chance to shout again, the officers and soldiers took action directly.

Shen Lanxi glanced over coldly: "Who else is stopping them?"

“Just stand up!”

"There are many mountains and forests in the north, but we are short of people to open up the wasteland."

With heavy troops suppressing the situation, who would dare to cause trouble?

For a time, Shen Lanxi's reputation for arrogance and viciousness spread throughout the Great Zhou.

Along with the infamy, there were also a series of land reclamation policies issued by the Ministry of Households.

These regulations once again spread Shen Lanxi's name throughout the Great Zhou. Now even in the remote corners of the countryside, people knew Shen Lanxi's name.

Unlike her bad reputation in the capital, the people there all think well of Shen Lanxi.

They were given seeds for free, and after they reclaimed the land, they only had to pay a little bit of grain. It was no different from giving them the land for free and letting them cultivate it.

They had been paying taxes on the land distributed by the court for years, which was already difficult to support their lives. In recent years, the taxes had increased, making it even more miserable. If the regulations issued by the court were not changed in the future, they would work harder and no longer have to go hungry.

There might be some left over!

I heard that the person who issued these regulations was a woman? Her name is Shen Lanxi.

What can the woman do? What does it have to do with them, the common people? They just need to fill their stomachs. Who sits on it? What does it have to do with them?

……

"Shen Lanxi has cleared the forest and dug up the mass grave. Everyone is watching to see how Shen Lanxi will create the grain seeds!"

The court officials had been waiting for this moment.

It was Shen Lanxi who said on her own that she would provide the people with free grain seeds. If she couldn't provide them, she would not only have trouble explaining to the officials, but also to the people.

Those unruly people are not as easy to deal with as Your Majesty. When the time comes, public resentment will arise. Even if Your Majesty favors Shen Lanxi, she must be dealt with.

"We don't have to do anything, just wait for Shen Lanxi to get caught in her own trap!"

While Zhou Ruyuan was busy dealing with the envoys of the two rebel kings, he took the time to meet Shen Lanxi.

"You must stop immediately, admit your mistakes to Father, and make peace with the Moon Nation. If you continue like this, you will only be tying yourself up in knots!"

Zhou Ruyuan couldn't understand why Shen Lanxi, such a smart person, would take such a disaster upon herself.

She is simply courting her own destruction!

Shen Lanxi looked speechlessly at Zhou Ruyuan, who was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

"This is my business, why is the King of Zhennan so anxious?"

Zhou Ruyuan said anxiously: "Only those who truly care about you will stand up and dissuade you at this time."

Shen Lanxi said with a smile: "Is it possible that they trust me to do it?"

Zhou Ruyuan froze, then thought, impossible.

With Shen Lanxi's plan, how much grain would be needed to pave the vast territory of Great Zhou?

That is a kind of grain that cannot be measured in numbers. Even if Shen Lanxi has supernatural powers, she cannot do it!

"Don't be angry anymore. Even if you stop now, it won't be so easy to calm down. I will speak for you in front of my father and all the officials. You just need to admit your mistake."

"Maybe they won't bother with you because you're so good at admitting your mistakes!"

Shen Lanxi laughed when she heard this.

"Then I really want to thank King Zhennan."

Zhou Ruyuan didn't hear the sarcasm and thought Shen Lanxi had given in. His expression relaxed and he said in a gentle tone, "You are a woman. They are too harsh on you, which is also against gentlemanly manners!"

Shen Lanxi was so angry that she laughed. She was actually thankful for her identity as a woman at this time. If Zhou Ruyuan had too much water in his head, he could pour some of it to the north. Presumably, the people there would be grateful to him.

As for her safety?

"Please don't worry about my affairs, Prince Zhennan. Although we are officials in the same court, the friendship between us as colleagues is not enough for Prince Zhennan to speak to me in such a tone!"
