I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 421 The Bottomless Squeeze of Labor, the Day of the Destruction of the Great Song Dynasty (for subscription)

Six months after the Shuibo Liang Bandits were disposed of.

On the western border of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no moon tonight, and scattered stars shone, making this land almost black.

In a certain large village in Xixia, there were sounds of fighting.

"Ah~"

"Grandpa Song, please don't kill my son, we will go with you!"

"Mom~"

puff~
"kill!"

"Forgive me, forgive me, we are willing to go with you."

Amidst the sound of fighting and the sound of sticks beating meat, more than 200 Xixia people were all controlled by Song soldiers.

These people who were treated as slaves by Xixia were being driven out of the house by soldiers of the Song Dynasty with sticks.

Seeing these Xixia people gathered together, a man wearing the armor of a general of the Song Army took over the statistics from his subordinates. "This time the harvest is good. There are more than 230 people in the family, and there are actually 120 young men and women."

"Dadutong, do you want to give the old one~"

A Shichang wiped his neck viciously.

boom!
"Hey, everyone is spared, everyone is spared!"

Dadu ignored the other party and just smashed them hard with a stick.

"You son of a bitch, how many times have I told you that these people are labor force, as long as they are well trained, they can create countless wealth for our Gyeongju army. Use your brain more!"

Seeing Shi Chang with a bruised nose and swollen face nodding, Da Dutong dropped his stick.

This Dadu stood on a high place, looking at the terrified Xixia people: "I am Zhang Jun, and I am serving as Dadu in the Qingzhou Army. I came to see you today to give you a way to survive. I... I am taking you back Da Song is living a good life! This...is your blessing, and you will no longer be oppressed by Xixia's tyranny in the future."

After shouting loudly, Zhang Jun ignored these people crying.

With a big wave of his hand, more than 500 fierce soldiers, carrying elite steel knives, let these Xixia people, old and weak, take carts and leave Xixia with a small amount of dry food.

Seeing many people in Xixia who were unwilling, unwilling, and crying, Zhang Jun looked slightly cold.

Dutong next to him immediately came out and shouted loudly: "You troublemakers, I will set a rule for you! Before arriving at the border of the Song Dynasty, those who are not behind...kill, and those who dare to make noise...kill. When you arrive in Qingzhou, Ben Dutong can let you live in a big warm house, wear warm clothes, use warm bedding, and food. You just need to give us free work! Anyone who dares to cry again, just peel their skin!"

Sure enough, after the ruthless words were spoken, the weeping Xixia people dared not say anything. Zhang Jun smiled on his face, and secretly extended his thumb to his deputy.

"Okay, let's go!"

"promise!"

two days later~
A Xixia ranger arrived, looking at the completely desolate village, the commander of the Xixia ranger's face was as gloomy as ice.

"Report, Lizheng's family is dead, and the soldiers on duty are also dead."

"What about the people?"

"With a radius of three miles, there is no trace of digging, and there are more than a thousand footprints moving south."

"Chase!"

“We only have 200 to ride.”

The commander's face twisted and changed, and he continued: "I also want to chase!"

Many cavalry had no choice but to keep up with the pace.

Such actions, they have carried out many times these days.

A long time ago, they relied on the sharpness of the cavalry and the Iron Buddha to defeat the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

But since these people were equipped with the new weapons and equipment of the Spring Breeze Caravan, their life became more and more difficult.

The battle between Song Dynasty and Xixia became more and more difficult.

Fortunately, the Song court had no intention of pacifying Xixia, so they have been lingering on their days.

But from a few months ago, the initiative of both parties has changed.

These Song Dynasty military officers didn't know what went crazy, they sent people into their territory all day long, and then forcibly relocated the Xixia people in a one-pot manner.

In the past few months, Xixia has lost as many as 8 people.

Xixia also thought about fighting them, but these sharply equipped Song Dynasty officers and soldiers are really powerful in combat.

The Xixia army was beaten badly.

The military failed, and the people on the border of Xixia were frightened and moved to the inner abdomen.

But these Song people were so bold that they dared to go deep into the hinterland of 150 miles to arrest people.

This is not taking their Xixia seriously!

These cavalry marched in a hurry for a few days, but they caught up with the Song army that was escorting the Xixia people.

They also tried, trying to save the people.

But the young general named Zhang Jun is very powerful, and the team of more than a thousand people easily resisted the opponent's attack.

After some pursuit, the Xixia cavalry finally failed and resigned.

After returning to Gyeongju City with the people from this Xixia village, someone arranged for these captives to receive training and then work.

And he ran to the Gyeongju military camp to drink and brag with his new acquaintance Han Shizhong.

In Gyeongju Barracks, Chong Shidao watched the latest military news.

"As of now, our ministry has arrested 83504 Xixia civilians, and 47310 young and strong people can work. They can produce 3 more cotton-padded clothes every month, and can make 4700 ordnance, which can..."

Seeing the good news above, Zhong Shidao stroked his beard in satisfaction.

The plundering of population and the production of free labor force are coups learned from Shuipo Liangshan.

This clever trick can minimize the population of Xixia and greatly improve the productivity and combat effectiveness of Song Dynasty.

In the few months since the formulation of this plan, the average living standard of the people in Gyeongju has risen sharply.

People in the Song Dynasty needed to pay a lot of wages, but these foreign captives did not need to pay wages.

These captured people only need to provide board and lodging, and they can make the other party grateful.In fact, it is a policy that benefits the country and the people.

This kind of policy was an unthinkable plan in the previous Song Dynasty.

The productivity of the people in the Great Song Dynasty is not enough, and the government has no money. Although the Great Song Dynasty can be a sign of labor, but too much labor will cause local instability.

Ever since the private productivity was enough, Da Song has been thinking of ways to make money.Shuibo Liangshan recruited criminals to be free workers, which opened the eyes of the top leaders of Song Dynasty.

Song people have human rights, but sinners do not have human rights!
That's why there is a kind of teacher's way of turning defense into offense and actively plundering the population around Xixia.

In the past few months, their actions have achieved initial results.

While the life happiness of the people on the border has improved, they have also gained great enthusiasm for foreign conquests.

Of course, the same is true for Da Song's official side.

The criminals in Shuibo Liangshan became free workers, which made a good start, but it also made Song Dynasty more chaotic.

When Zhong Shidao was at the border, he heard that many local officials treated many refugees as criminals and forcibly detained them as workers for free labor.

Zhong Shidao disdains this practice very much.

He believes that these officials are typical bullies.

Only those who take advantage of foreigners like him are real men.

It's a pity that the officials in the court deceive the officials, and the officials are drunk all day long, and have no enterprising heart at all.

The criminals in the Liangshan River turned into free laborers, which opened the eyes of the officials of the Song Dynasty.

They have found the perfect method and found out how to properly deal with refugees who have lost their roots due to the improvement of civilian productivity.

Force them into factories and turn them into free workers.

This strategy quietly blossomed and bore fruit in the Great Song Dynasty.

With the implementation of this strategy, the number of refugees and beggars in the Song Dynasty began to decrease significantly.

The income of the local government in the Song Dynasty also increased rapidly.

With the establishment of labor reform factories in various places, some deeper contradictions, and some high-ranking ruling classes have also set their sights on some civilians who hinder their maximization of interests.

Even worse asset mergers and more chilling sweatshops are rapidly being established in the Song Dynasty.

The workers in the capital monopoly market and the peasant economic cycle system under the small peasant economic cycle are undergoing rapid changes.

The closed-loop economic cycle in the realm of small farmers is also rapidly collapsing.

The collapse of the small peasant economy also led to the rapid expansion of factories.

In the absence of the shackles of the law, the phenomena of sheep cannibalism and money cannibalism are staged in the Song Dynasty every moment.

Dong Guan, Cai Jing, and Gao Qiu, who were thinking of ways to make Zhao Ji happy, did not know the new forces that could subvert the old system, and had already accumulated anger that could burn the dynasty.

……

Time passed, and a year passed quietly.

Song Dynasty, in Hengzhou city.

A man in his 40s, dressed poorly and exuding an inexplicable smell, was sitting in a human rickshaw similar to the main world in the 30s.

The man occasionally looked at the tall city, with a cold look on his face inadvertently.

Seeing someone approaching, he quickly got up: "Guest, human-powered rickshaw, two corners a trip. Make sure it's safe and pull it fast enough."

Ushered in is the disgust and avoidance of pedestrians.

A colleague said with a smile: "Old Qian, you need to change into clean clothes. Your body is smelly, and customers don't like it."

The man smiled wryly and said that he had no money.

Seeing that the guests had left in a clean rickshaw, the man was annoyed on his face, but he didn't mind in his heart.

Because his goal is not to pull people, but to collect information on the city defense of Hengzhou City.

This man's name is Wang Dazhi, and he is an informant to spy on intelligence.

Wang Dazhi originally had a happy family.

A year ago, my old lady got tuberculosis.

His family was very poor, and because of insufficient funds, he decided to sell his property and try to save his mother.

Back and forth, Wang Dazhi spent more than 200 taels of silver.

The old lady was not rescued, and all her net worth was paid for.

Both people and wealth are lost.

Heartbroken, Wang Dazhi buried his old mother, and then worked as a worker in the Zhao family with peace of mind, thinking about living an honest life.

If it was more than ten years ago, Wang Dazhi would not have sold his ancestral land.

But Hengzhou has a lot to do for a living.

To make a living is to work in various factories established by the Zhao family.

More than ten years ago, Zhao's factory had only a hundred people, and the scale was not large. It was just a collateral descendant of the collateral lineage of the official family of the Song Dynasty today, the kind that didn't even have a royal title!

The Zhao family relies on ingenuity.

Relying on the industrial equipment provided by the Spring Breeze Caravan, they have grown bigger and stronger in recent years, with more than 1 workers.

The Zhao family has many factories, engaged in light industry, textiles, sericulture, and planting.

After his mother died, Wang Dazhi and his wife chose to work in the Zhao family for the rest of their lives.

Although the salary is tight, it can support a family of five.

The accident happened a few months ago.

Suddenly there was news from his wife that made him feel strange.

Wang Dazhi's wife works in Zhao's factory, and saw Mr. Pan Zhong when delivering goods.

When the wife who wanted to inquire about treating the injured child went to the doctor, she overheard the frightening news.

Langzhong Pan Zhong, who once rescued his mother, was actually discussing with the Zhao family how to use medicine to harm people, and how to seek wealth and death.

The wife left Zhao's house in a hurry and told Wang Dazhi the news.

These words aroused Wang Dazhi's suspicion.

Why did Wang Dazhi spend money to save his mother from tuberculosis?
This disease was originally a terminal illness in ancient times.

Over the years, Hengzhou has spread the word that there is an overseas miracle drug called penicillin that can cure this disease.

Although penicillin has a probability of failure, the success rate is high.

Wang Dazhi heard from other people that this magic medicine can save people.

He also saw the scene where his mother gradually got better after being injected with the miracle drug of penicillin.

It's a pity that in the later period, my mother suddenly became seriously ill, and the disease relapsed and repeated, and she died just like that.

The news that his wife inquired inadvertently aroused Wang Dazhi's suspicion.

This doctor, Pan Zhong, is the son-in-law of a collateral lineage of the Zhao family.

Although Lang Zhong has good skills, he has a sex scandal and is very greedy for money.

The doctor's reputation is not good in ten miles and eight villages.

This guy really has the foundation to cooperate with the Zhao family to seek wealth and murder.

Over the years, in order to expand their business, the Zhao family has acquired a large amount of land to grow silkworms and build factories.

Wang Dazhi's family has [-] acres of irrigated fields, which happened to be in the location planned by Zhao's Sangtian.

A few years ago, the Zhao family contacted Wang Dazhi, trying to buy the [-] mu of land, but was rejected by Wang Dazhi's mother.

Once there is a motive, there is also a chain of interests, and there is naturally a motive for committing the crime.

Wang Dazhi inquired secretly for a few days, and confirmed that the Zhao family and Langzhong had repeated their old tricks to seize other people's property.

He was furious, and after arranging the funeral of his wife and sons, he was ready to take revenge.

Relying on his own kung fu learning, he arrested Pan Zhong, the black man, at night, and interrogated him.

The Langzhong, who was crying bitterly, told what he had done: "The Zhao family did arrange for me to murder your mother, but I couldn't help myself. I have an old man and a young man, so I dare not disobey... Dazhi, the Zhao family has a great career in Hengzhou. Not only is it inextricably linked with Zhizhou, but also has a relationship with the royal family. Every year, it provides more than [-] taels of filial piety to the local officials and the royal family. The person who killed your mother was the head of the Zhao family. You have to order, you can't move the other party!"

Wang Dazhi sounded reasonable, nodded and asked, "If you can't get rid of the Zhao family, you have to get rid of Zhizhou, so who is the enemy of Zhizhou in Hengzhou?"

"It's Sun Miao in Qingzhou!"

Wang Dazhi was overjoyed: "If you want to survive, follow what I say!"

He first asked the doctor to write a confession letter in blood, pretending to plead guilty and not kill.

After being beaten up, Langzhong cried and wrote a confession letter in blood.

Then, Wang Dazhi directly killed Langzhong, and then asked his wife and children to bring a blood letter to the opponent in Zhizhou to file a complaint.

And he is going to try to assassinate the Patriarch of the Zhao family.

That night, he sneaked into Zhao's compound, preparing to kill the culprit.

It's a pity that the Zhao family has many masters, but within a few rounds, the farmer Wang Dazhi was controlled.

Wang Dazhi thought his life would be over. When he was suffering from the lynching, screams came from outside the Zhao family's private cell.

Then, more than a dozen men in black fell from the sky and killed the direct blood relatives of the Zhao family!
They also left Fang La and Chen Daitian punishing evil.

When leaving, he saw Wang Dazhi covered in blood in the private cell.

"Who are you? Why did you commit the crime?"

Wang Dazhi quickly told what happened to him.

"Then you are innocent. We are Fang La's team of punishing evil and promoting good. You can join our team."

"Are you really Fang La's team of punishing evil and promoting good?"

"It's not true! Do you want to join?"
