A Gathering to Air Grievances, a Great Undertaking

The people of Antai City crowded the streets, staring in shock at the crowd being led onto the high platform.

In the past, powerful officials, domineering constables, brutal soldiers, and Aristocratic Clan families who exploited their neighbors...

There were also wealthy but unscrupulous businessmen, all of whom were chained up and about to be subjected to criticism and trial.

"This is truly gratifying! The rebels have actually arrested and put those villains on trial."

"Stop talking nonsense, these are not rebels, they are the Peasants' Association's troops."

They are different from those rebels; they are the ones who truly stand up for us ordinary people.

"That's right! I heard from an uncle that the Peasants' Association in the countryside was a force of justice that seized land from the rich and punished the wicked."

Now that we've captured Antai City, our good days are coming.

"Those corrupt officials deserve divine retribution! Every year, countless people are wrongly convicted by them, sent to 'ascension to immortality' on arbitrary charges. They should have been torn to pieces long ago!"

Zhou Kang on the high platform, his gaze sweeping over the surging crowd below, and raised his arm, shouting loudly:

"Fellow villagers! I am Zhou Kang from the Peasants' Association! Today we have captured Antai City to overthrow the tyrannical Qing rule and restore justice to the people."

From now on, everyone will no longer have to live in fear, nor will they have to worry about being falsely accused and arrested for "crossing over to immortality" and losing their lives in vain.

These corrupt officials, unscrupulous merchants, and tyrants on the stage will be put to trial by the public today. Those with grievances can seek justice, and those with grudges can seek revenge!

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a middle-aged woman rushed out from the crowd, knelt down, and cried out:

"My lord, please do justice for this humble woman! Half a year ago, that official falsely accused my husband of fighting with someone..."

But my husband was only involved in a few words of argument, without even lifting a finger, and he was arrested and his fate remains unknown!

Before the woman's weeping had subsided, an elderly man with white hair, leaning on a cane, pointed shakily at the young Lin Household:

"It's this beast! Last year he forcibly took my daughter into his mansion, and within three days, he dumped her body in a mass grave outside the city."

I went to the government office to file a complaint, but those corrupt officials ignored me and I even got beaten up! Where is justice?!

As the grievance rally progressed, the pent-up anger of the people erupted completely, and the crowd was filled with indignation.

Someone threw out the first rotten vegetable leaf, followed by rotten eggs and pebbles raining down on the platform, as the crowd roared in unison:

"Kill these corrupt officials! Kill these unscrupulous merchants and tyrants! Kill these lackeys of the Qing State!"

Seeing that the trial was nearing its end, Zhou Kang stepped forward, his voice booming:

"These corrupt officials, unscrupulous businessmen, and tyrants have committed countless crimes, and even being torn to pieces would not absolve them of their sins!"

Today, at everyone's request, the Peasants' Association has beheaded him and displayed his head as a warning to others!

He had barely finished speaking when he waved his hand dismissively.

The waiting soldiers immediately drew their swords, and with a flash of cold light, the heads of corrupt officials, unscrupulous merchants, and tyrants on the platform fell to the ground.

The Peasants' Association's swift and decisive execution of the villains left the crowd stunned and speechless at first, but after a brief silence, the crowd erupted in cheers.

"The Peasants' Association is really efficient! They killed without hesitation, not a moment's delay!"

"I thought it was just for show, but I didn't expect the Peasants' Association to actually rid us of these scourges."

"My daughter, your revenge has been achieved! The Peasants' Association has stood up for us."

Zhou Kang looked at the impassioned crowd, a smile in his eyes, and raised his hand to signal for silence:

"Fellow villagers, today's slaying of the wicked is just the beginning."

If you encounter any further grievances, please report them to the Peasants' Association at any time, and we will certainly uphold justice for you.

He paused, then pointed to both sides of the platform, his voice growing louder:

"On the left is a relief point set up by the Peasants' Association, where hungry villagers can line up to receive porridge;

On the right is the Fairness System claim area, where everyone can apply for System Seed.

This system is an unparalleled divine object, containing endless grains, high-yield grain seeds, and miraculous elixirs, as well as Cultivation Method.

Once bound to the system, everyone can not only use Energy Points to buy food, but also cultivate immortality and martial arts, and even have the chance to become an immortal Longevity.

As for the other clever uses of the system, you can explore them yourselves after you've bound your accounts; I won't go into detail here.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in a frenzy, with gasps of astonishment and disbelief written on everyone's face.

"Is what the adult said true? Can I really get free porridge? And is that Fairness System really that magical?"

"This is unbelievable! What exactly is this Fairness System? It has an endless supply of food and high-yield grain varieties!"

If I bind myself to this account, will I never have to go hungry again?

"My God! The Fairness System even has Cultivation Method that can make people cultivate to become immortals. If I practice them, could I really become an immortal Longevity?"

"You're overthinking it! Even with the same Cultivation Method, it still depends on individual aptitude. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Cultivation Method is, if you're not skilled enough, it's all for nothing."

"Haha, you're right! Just like martial arts manuals in the martial arts world, some people master the same Cultivation Method to the highest level, while others can't even reach the level of a novice."

"The Peasants' Association is really generous, actually sharing the magical treasure with us!"

If the Fairness System is real, I'll immediately join the Peasants' Association and work together to overthrow the tyrannical Qing dynasty.

"That's right! The Peasants' Association not only stood up for us, but also distributed porridge to us."

Now they've even shared such divine treasures with us; we should repay their kindness and work together to overthrow this damned, tyrannical Qing dynasty."

"I've had enough of this living in constant fear. I'm committed to the Peasants' Association, and even if I die, I'll have no regrets!"

"Everyone, stop discussing and hurry up to get your System Seed. Those who are hungry, go get a bowl of porridge and don't waste any time."

Li Zhiyuan watched from afar as the grievance meeting was a complete success, and the Peasants' Association had initially won the trust of the people.

He believes that as people gradually become connected with the Fairness System and are deeply impressed by its wonders, coupled with ideological education, they will fully accept the Peasants' Association.

But he knew this was just the beginning, and there was still a long way to go.

Following the guidance in the book "How to Go from Uprising and Rebellion to Building a Harmonious Society in Three Years," there are four key things to do next:

First, we must conduct ideological education among the people to instill a revolutionary spirit in them;

Secondly, land was distributed to the people so that everyone had land to cultivate, while water conservancy projects were built and high-yield grain varieties were promoted.

Third, we will promote tax system reform, abolishing the use of gold and silver and replacing them with Energy Points for payment;

Fourth, expand the army and, before the Qing State court can react, exert all efforts to strengthen its power and even conquer more territory.

He looked down at the potholed road beneath his feet, then glanced at the dilapidated thatched huts on either side of the street.

As the images of bustling, orderly cities with towering buildings that I had seen on the system's social media platforms flashed through my mind, my gaze hardened.

We must overthrow the Qing State and rebuild all the cities into such magnificent structures.

With Fairness System as a foundation, and by actively applying the knowledge from "How to Go from Uprising and Rebellion to Building a Harmonious Society in Three Years,"

As long as we unite the vast majority of the people and get them involved in the great cause of overthrowing the tyrannical Qing dynasty and building a harmonious society.

With the help of Senior Xu cultivators who have suppressed the Qing State, and without interference from other cultivators, I am confident that I can successfully overthrow the tyrannical Qing and even establish a harmonious society.

Although building a harmonious society is fraught with difficulties, and one could even say there is no chance of success, one should always try at least once in life.

Moreover, the threat from the Evil Soul Hall is ever-present.

If we cannot withstand the onslaught in the future, we will have no choice but to force the people to flee, just like the Yue State.

If the monarchy were still in place, the country would inevitably disintegrate when the people fled in panic.

But a harmonious society is different. When they are scattered, they are like stars in the sky; when they are united, they are like a blazing fire. Even if they encounter a crisis, this spark can start a prairie fire again.
