Hearing this, Guan Ning felt relieved. Tonight's operation was considered a successful conclusion!
"Let's go and take a look."
"..."
Soon, it was dawn.
The Fengdu River seemed dead silent before dawn, giving a feeling of recovery from ruin.
Guan Ning ordered the heads of the five family heads to be hung on the dock as a warning. The five major families, which had no leader, surrendered in large numbers and collapsed.
However, there were also some individuals who resisted and refused to obey Linghu Bei and Hua Wuque, but without exception, they were all targeted and eliminated.
It was not until noon that the dead were counted. Including the five family heads themselves, more than 1,300 people died that night, most of whom were the backbone members of the five major families who had committed serious crimes.
Although the remaining two thousand or so people also helped the five family heads on weekdays, they were not to the point of being hated by both humans and gods. Considering that the total population of Fengdu River was only five thousand, Guan Ning did not let Linghu Bei kill them all, but imprisoned them first and helped with the reconstruction later.
At dusk.
Under Guan Ning's instructions, Linghu Bei and Hua Wuque made a loud call, announcing that they were in charge of Fengdu River, and announced to everyone that anyone who wanted to leave Fengdu River would not be stopped and would be given money for travel.
Those who are willing to stay will help build houses, and all the land that the five family heads once occupied will be distributed to everyone.
As soon as this move was made, the entire upstream and downstream of Fengdu River was shocked!
Those people who were forced into slavery felt like they were dreaming, crying bitterly on the spot. After so many years, the era of the five major families was finally over.
They remembered a name, Guan Ning!
Although Guan Ning never appeared from beginning to end, they all knew that it was this young man who brought changes to this sinful place, and Linghu Bei and Hua Wuque had to listen to him.
On that day, except for the more than 300 people who were kidnapped from other places and chose to leave Fengdu River, the rest all stayed.
Their ancestors have lived here for generations, making a living by farming. They don’t know where to go if they leave, so they just stay to see if they can get some good farmland.
Guan Ning was also very quick. Without any delay, he counted the land occupied by the five major family heads overnight and began to divide the land.
You won’t know if you don’t count it, and you’ll be shocked when you do!
There are mostly paddy fields on both sides of Fengdu River, as much as 20,000 mu, of which 10,000 mu have been planted. With a population of 5,000, there are only 2,000 households at most, and each household can be allocated 10 mu of land, which was considered terrifying in ancient times.
In addition, Fengdu River is rich in aquatic products and has natural advantages. As long as the bodies at the bottom of the river can be salvaged and buried, and the quicksand and silt in the water area can be controlled, the level of Fengdu River will definitely be no worse than any other small town in the south of the Yangtze River!
Even because of the advantages of the river, the potential is huge!
After the land was divided, the next step was reconstruction.
Most of the houses that were flooded by the flood were no longer habitable, and their styles were too strange. Most of them were the dens of the five major families, so they were simply demolished and rebuilt.
On just the third day, thousands of people began to form teams to cut down trees and build.
They worked from sunrise to sunset, and there was no more oppression and slavery. Even Linghu Bei and Hua Wuque himself threw themselves into the logging, which stunned the people for a while.
Guan Ning stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the two banks. Those densely packed black dots were moving and busy. Wooden houses and tiled houses were rising from the ground. In at most half a month, both banks would be completely new.
Although they were very tired, they were all talking excitedly, as if looking forward to a new life in the future.
Guan Ning couldn't help but sigh: "This feeling is really good."
Lou Xinyue pursed her lips and smiled: "I didn't realize you had the potential to be a great philanthropist."
"I'm a good man, aren't I?" Guan Ning said coquettishly.
Lou Xinyue rolled her eyes, but in her heart she was proud of him.
At this time, Guan Ning looked towards the fiery red sky, his eyes suddenly melodious: "The sun sets behind the mountains, and the sun sets over the Yellow River!"
