After hearing Gongshu Yue's emotion, Wei Feng couldn't help but fell into silence for a while.

In his previous life, Wei Feng did not understand the source of hope in the eyes of the common people at first, until he met Mencius, a great scholar in the world, in Daliang.

Although Wei Feng still disagrees with Mencius and the Confucianism he preached to this day, the words he said are firmly remembered in his heart.

"A five-acre house with mulberry trees can be used to clothe the fifty-year-old. Chickens, dolphins, dogs, and pigs will not be lost in their time, and the seventy-year-old can eat meat. A hundred acres of land should not be taken away from the food in its time.

The house can be free from hunger."

As a former king of Wei, he did not understand what the Li Shu people under his rule needed until Mencius explained it clearly with his words.

What the common people of Wei State wanted was very simple, just clothes, food, and no one in the family being hungry.

The prerequisite for achieving all this is that the common people of Wei State must have access to the land that produces these daily outputs.

Why did the former Wei Prime Minister Li Kui set the standard of land grant system as one household per acre? Why did Mencius mention a hundred acres of land in his words? Because this is the basic guarantee for the common people to have enough food and clothing.

Even if today's life is still difficult, even if there is no money left at home, those common people will still have hope for their future life, because they can change everything through their own labor.

This time, Gongsun Yang, who was the county magistrate, implemented the land grant system in Yueyang, granting land to the common people with one hectare of land per household, which was giving them hope of survival.

This is also why the Li Shu in other places in Qindong are so different from the Li Shu in Yueyang under Gongsun Yang's rule.

Thoughts were constantly flowing in his mind, and Wei Feng's eyes were far away looking at the sky. At this moment, he really wanted to see the white-clothed figure who had been entrusted with such an important task by him.

Just as Wei Feng was talking to Gong Shuyue and lost in these thoughts, two figures in the distance appeared in front of them.

Not long after, two figures on the horses quickly appeared beside Wei Feng and his party, under the galloping horses.

"Your Majesty, the general and the censor are back."

These two figures are none other than Wang Cuo, the imperial censor, and General Zhai Liang, who were sent out by Wei Feng to find out the sentiments of the people.

It turns out that since arriving at the boundary of Yueyang yesterday, Wei Feng has also felt the difference between this place and other places in Qindong.

Especially compared to the gloomy dusk in other places in Qindong, Yueyang in the middle of winter has a feeling of vitality.

During the conversation with the family where he stayed last night, Wei Feng learned that under the leadership of Gongsun Yang, Yueyang was promoting the land grant system in full swing.

After learning this news, Wei Feng's interest suddenly emerged in his mind.

The family where he stayed and some of the surrounding common people highly praised the land grant system, which made Wei Feng eager to know more people's attitudes towards the system promoted by Gongsun Yang.

Therefore, after the group of people left Pinganli where they stayed last night, Wei Feng immediately sent Wang Cuo and Zhai Liang to the surrounding area to inspect the people's situation.

At this moment, looking at Wang Cuo and Zhai Liang who came back panting in front of him, Wei Feng didn't care that Zhai Liang's words exposed his identity, and started to ask questions.

"Two of you, how did you gain from this visit?"

"Your Majesty, I have gained a lot by waiting here." After answering Wei Feng in a deep voice, Zhai Liang immediately looked at Wang Cuo beside him.

Facing the gaze of Zhai Liang next to him, Wang Cuo, who understood what he meant, sorted it out in his mind and reported to Wei Feng in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, as General Zhai Liang just reported, the two of us have indeed gained a lot from this trip."

"According to the information we have received, since the official documents of Yueyang were posted on the walls of Nanshi, the land granting has been in full swing in Yueyang."

"To this day, under the personal supervision of the county magistrate Gongsun Yang, the land grant has covered most of the territory under Yueyang's rule."

After listening to Wang Cuo's report on the progress of Yueyang's land transfer, Wei Feng nodded solemnly.

It has to be said that the magistrate Gongsun Yang in this life and the Shangjun of Qin State in the previous life have not changed at all in their work styles, they are both so vigorous and resolute.

As long as you set a goal, you will do your best to achieve it, even if there are many difficulties and obstacles ahead.

Wei Feng admired Gongsun Yang very much in his heart.

After secretly expressing satisfaction with the progress of the field granting in Yueyang, Wei Feng looked again, and his attention immediately moved to another aspect of the field granting.

"What do the people of Yueyang think of this land grant from the government?"

"Most of them are quite satisfactory." Combining what he saw with Zhai Liang and the words he heard, Wang Cuo gave a more objective attitude.

At the same time as he finished speaking, Zhai Liang on the side also said: "Your Majesty, I think that Li Shu, Yue Yang, is very satisfied with the land grant."

"Whenever the general and the censor mentioned Magistrate Gongsun, a bit of respect would appear on their faces unconsciously."

"Whenever the general and the censor ask about the land granting, their eyes will show smiles."

"Not only that, they also told the general and the imperial censor that with these lands, they will have hope for the future."

Perhaps because as a military general, he often interacted with many soldiers who were from civilian backgrounds, Zhai Liang could identify with the mood of Lishu Yueyang at this moment more than Wang Cuo did.

Looking at Wei Feng in front of him, his mind kept recalling everything he had just heard and seen, but there was a trace of determination in Zhai Liang's eyes.

"Your Majesty, I think that the magistrate Gongsun granted the land in Yueyang just to comply with the public opinion. This move will definitely make the people of Yueyang return to Wei."

Zhai Liang's words once again led Wei Feng into thinking, and his thoughts were constantly flying in his mind.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was not until a moment later that Wei Feng's expression slowly returned to clarity, and a question immediately appeared in everyone's ears.

"Have you ever found out where Gongsun Yang, the magistrate of Yueyang County, is now?"

"I heard about it."

Wang Cuo and Zhai Liang looked at each other, and Wang Cuo immediately pointed in one direction.

"Fifty miles further in this direction is Li Yi under the jurisdiction of Yueyang County. It is also one of the several towns in Yueyang that have not completed the land transfer. Today Gongsun Yang is leading the county officials to transfer land there."

Looking in the direction of Wang Cuo's finger, Wei Feng's eyes showed a firm look, and the reins of the war horse he held in his hand also shook.

"drive……"

With a loud sound of urging the horse, Wei Feng galloped out like lightning, and the group of people following him also hurriedly followed his footsteps.

After two hours of journey, Wei Feng and his party finally arrived at Li Yi, which Wang Cuo had learned from Li Shu in Yueyang.

The group of people walked among Li Yi for a while, but the people gathered together and the loud calls immediately caught Wei Feng's attention.

"Where is Li Yixiang's field?"

Hearing the call to him, a middle-aged man immediately walked out of the crowd, raising his hand impatiently as he walked.

"Reporting to the county magistrate, Tian is here."

With everything in the distance under his eyes, Wei Feng's eyes met Wang Cuo, Zhai Liang and Gongshu Yue beside him.

"The guards will stay here and wait. A few of us will go up and have a look."

"Here."

Accompanied by a gentle reply, Wei Feng led three people close to him and walked towards the gathering place.

At the same time, the comments from the Li Yi villagers in front fell into Wei Feng's ears unconsciously.

"Finally we have arrived in Li Yi. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time." A middle-aged man said softly while looking at Gongsun Martingale above who was conferring land.

The middle-aged man's words immediately resonated with a villager next to him, who immediately responded in a deep voice: "That's right."

"We managed to cultivate 40 acres of private land before, and the family was able to survive without starvation. But private land is private land after all, and the government may take it away someday."

"Now, the government granted each household one hundred acres of land. Although it was stated that they were not allowed to buy or sell the land but they had to pay rent, but the remaining harvest can support a large family."

As soon as the villager finished speaking with joy, the middle-aged man turned around and glanced at him, with a smile on his face, "If the harvest is good next year, life will be easier."

From the words of these two people, Wei Feng could truly feel their expectations for a better life in the future, as well as their inner joy.

"If you don't take away a hundred acres of land, then a family of several people will not be hungry."

After muttering this sentence to himself several times, and combining it with the scene in front of him, Wei Feng had a different feeling in his heart.

Just at this moment, another call came from the front, "Where is Mr. Wu from Li Yi Township?"

"Here, there, there..."

The middle-aged man who had just spoken to his companion immediately raised his right hand high and ran forward quickly with a series of responses.

From his impatient words, Wei Feng could see his infinite longing for a better life in the future.

One step, two steps, three steps...

One person, two people, three people...

In the long period of time that followed, Wei Feng witnessed with his own eyes one figure after another walking out of the crowd and walking towards the person in front of him, Gongsun Yang, the magistrate of Yueyang County, who was wearing a red Wei official uniform.

Whenever these Liyi people returned to the crowd with albums made of sheepskin, their reactions were different.

Either you are overjoyed after getting the land, or you are crying with joy because you have hope for the future, or you are still unable to believe that everything is real.

All in all, from these people who can be said to be at the lowest level, Wei Feng, the highest ruler of Wei who lived for two generations, had some different feelings.

Finally, Wei Feng's eyes fell on the figure in front of him, and a smile quietly appeared in his eyes.

"Thank you so much, Magistrate Gongsun."

On the other side, after giving a picture album to a villager in front of him and receiving his heartfelt thanks, Gongsun Yang's eyes subconsciously scanned the crowd in front of him.

Suddenly, a face that existed in his memory appeared in front of him, which momentarily shocked Gongsun Yang.

When he cast his gaze over and clearly saw the smile on the other party's face, the shock in Gongsun Yang's heart immediately turned into joy and excitement.

"My lord, Sun Yang, comes to pay homage to your Majesty."
