Back Off, Let Me Come

"What good news?"

The current situation can make the Lord say "good news", and its value can be imagined. Qin Li thought about it for a while but couldn't figure out what it was, but the master deliberately kept it secret, and his eyes told him to guess. But he was not Gu Chi, how could he guess it? Just to avoid being disappointed, he could only cooperate with the other person's little hobby.

"Is it possible that Uncle Qian and the other side are making progress again?"

Open the sluice and release the water, and defeat the enemy to the north in a battle. The elite are either lost on the river or scattered in all directions. Qian Yong is as cheerful as anything these days, and the energy to show off his power can flow out from every line of his words, making people worry that he will become proud and complacent, and eventually capsize in the gutter. Of course, Qin Li is not worried about this scene happening. There are people watching Qian Yong.

Qian Yong is unreliable, but Ning Yan and the others are always reliable.

"That's not right. Guess again, Gongsu?"

"I'm sorry for being stupid, I really can't guess."

Qin Li chose to lie down and ask for mercy, and directly asked Shen Tang for answers.

Shen Tang said: "There is some movement over at Shanxiao."

Hearing the word Shanxiao, Qin Li, who was Cui Xiao's old friend for many years, was strangely stunned for a moment, as if he was searching for this name and its owner in his mind. When the two met, Qin Li pressed his forehead with a headache, and smiled bitterly.

"Good filial piety should indeed be good filial piety."

When he made his guess just now, he thought about people, but he didn't think of Cui Xiao. This made Qin Li feel horrified and a little ashamed. That's all about the others. He and Cui Xiao have been close friends for many years. He has really ignored the latter since he has been gone for so long!

Shen Tang understood the subtlety on Qin Li's face for a moment.

Patting his arm as a comfort, he deliberately lowered his voice and said with a guilty conscience: "Actually, we are just the same. I don't know what Shanxiao did this time. I almost forgot about him. Ahem, when he comes back, we won't let him know. Just..."

Qin Li was puzzled: "Then how could the Lord know..."

Outsiders' perceptions of Choi Hyo are also ranked.

From weakest to strongest, they are: unrelated strangers, nodding acquaintances, subordinates who are more familiar than nodding acquaintances, colleagues with frequent dealings, Qishan, a group of close friends and old friends headed by Qin Li, and the Lord! Even the Lord subconsciously ignored Cui Xiao, which meant that Cui Xiao's sense of existence was almost as weak as air, almost invisible! Only happened once in years!

According to Cui Xiao himself, he almost died quietly.

Fortunately, Fu Da Ming recovered and saved his life.

Is it happening again this time?

Shen Tang said: "My incarnation was heard in the Southwest Allied Camp. This news is still confidential and was forcibly suppressed by the Southwest Allies - the Holy Son of the Eternal Life Sect is centered in the Lu Kingdom, and more than 300,000 believers have responded to replace him. God punishes evil spirits!”

This plan was not hidden from Qin Li from the beginning.

Even though Qin Li was mentally prepared, he was shocked by the speed and scale. How long has it been since the Holy Son of the Eternal Life Religion came forward to gather more than 300,000 followers to respond? In other words, how long has it been since Cui Xiao took the national seal from his master? If we start counting from that time, does it count as one month? In the flash of lightning, thousands of thoughts were intertwined and swimming in Qin Li's mind.

Combining the two events, he vaguely understood something.

"More than 300,000 believers..." Qin Li suppressed the throbbing veins on his forehead. He was also glad that his uncle and nephew Weicheng had already washed their hands in a golden basin. They had been squatting in the Kangguo territory and imprisoned for these years and did not continue to act as a stir-up. Otherwise, this would have happened. The numbers will be even bigger!

"I don't think I have much to do with my uncle and nephew."

"How come it doesn't matter?"

Qin Li didn't expect that he would say what was in his heart unconsciously, and he couldn't agree with his master's defense of Wei Cheng's uncle and nephew.

The Eternal Life Sect was established on a whim by Weicheng.

The teachings that confuse people's hearts were perfected by Wei Lou in his spare time.

If the Eternal Life Religion did not exist, how could so many believers respond?

Shen Tang said: "These uncle and nephew are not the 'cause' of everything. Naturally, we cannot blame all the 'effects' on them. Most of the ordinary believers of the Eternal Life Sect joined the religion because their lives were so difficult that they could not escape. Who caused them? A situation where they cannot survive but cannot survive? The main culprit for them to seek spiritual comfort to survive is the 'cause'!"

"It's like the common people can't survive without picking up hoes and revolting, which eventually leads to unrest. But you can't blame the poor land for growing food, you can't blame God for bringing natural disasters, and you can't blame the common people for not working hard enough to open up wasteland! You should blame the local county. Why did the government allow the common people not to have enough farmland? Why did the fertile farmland become the private property of the local gentry? Why did the government not store water before the drought? Why didn't the government build dams to prevent floods before the drought... If you don't blame it, you have to do your best to survive. The weak should blame the strong who are capable but do nothing.”

"The real culprit deserves to be punished!"

Shen Tang's ideas are completely contrary to the current mainstream, she knows, but she insists on having her own way. After all, she is the ruler of the country, and she is also a ruler who is good at both civil and military skills. Anyone who disagrees with her ideas must abide by her rules if they want to make a living under her account.

And her rules are——

When subordinates make mistakes, their superiors will reflect on their mistakes; when governance is chaotic, the government will reflect on their mistakes. Find problems more often on the capable than on the weak. What’s the use? The reason why the weak are weak is naturally because they have shortcomings. What can they find if they are asked to find problems?

Shen Tang's logic is also impeccable.

The civil and military ministers other than the elders felt that this should not be the case. They studied hard and made contributions in order to one day be able to hold high positions and become superiors. In Kang State, even if this set of rules is not established, they still have to take the blame for the people below.

When their subordinates make mistakes, they reflect on them.

Listen, is there any heavenly law in this?

However, Shen Tang holds military power, and no one dares to say anything.

Qin Li agreed with the Lord's last words, but still disagreed with the judgment that Weicheng's uncle and nephew had little relationship. Even if there weren't their uncles and nephews, there would be others, but now only their uncles and nephews are taking the lead.

Even if they are not the "cause", they are still two accomplices!

After all, this was a trivial matter that did not involve principles. Qin Li did not argue with his master, but his inner impression of Weicheng's uncle and nephew was deducted by another three points! He sighed: "Indeed, if the countries in the southwest were not so mean, there wouldn't be so many people desperate."

The worse the governance, the more people will be desperate.

The more these people there are, the more attractive the Eternal Life Religion will be.

The fertile ground for the expansion of the Eternal Life Religion is also broader.

"More than three hundred thousand believers are just the believers who have received the news recently. As long as the first batch of believers can establish a firm foothold and find a foothold, believers in the southwest will respond, and then it will be lively." Thinking back to Incarnation Wu You saw The expressions on the faces of the allied troops could not stop rising, and the corners of their mouths could not stop rising. It's scientifically proven that smiles don't disappear, they just move from their faces to hers.

Qin Li was also worried.

"No matter how many believers there are, they are all ordinary people. I'm afraid it won't happen. If all countries send troops to suppress it, it will be effective in a short time."

There are very few successful cases of people's uprisings.

People who are from the lower class and have achieved a little success are easily blinded by wealth and wealth, and then enjoy indulgence in a gentle country, indulge in excessive debauchery, become ferocious and cruel, and lose their original intention to gain a foothold early on. The essence of what the Lord often said is - the dragon slayer will eventually become the evil dragon!

Of course, his master was an exception.

"Whether it can be suppressed or not is no longer important..."

The important thing is that the more civilians respond, the more fields will become barren, making it even more difficult for the Southwest Allied Forces' already stretched logistical food supply. Before the war started, Shen Tang also made a night attack on one of their granaries to cause germination and mold, which made it worse!

Enough for this group of people to drink a pot.

Shen Tang can see clearly, but there are always people who can't see clearly.

These people are not one person, they are a group!

"Asshole, who is spreading these rumors to sway the morale of the army?"

When the news came that the Eternal Life Cult had stolen their hometown, many leaders of the Allied Forces questioned the authenticity of the news, and the people of Lu State became even more furious and stood up arrogantly. He immediately thought of the culprit Shen Tang.

This news must have come from Kang Guo!

The intention is very obvious, just to mess with their mentality!

"Check, send someone to find out!"

Unexpectedly, a voice came from the corner.

"If the news is false, doesn't it mean that all the vanguard scouts have been bribed and infiltrated? So, why are you still fighting here?"

The speaker was Gongyang Yongye, who never liked to get involved.

After all, he was a 19th-level Marquis of Guannei, and no one dared to be arrogant in front of him. Even the people in the Lu Kingdom who were burning their butts could bear their anger.

Xiaozhi is based on emotion, and action is based on reason: "Gongyang Chehou Mingjian, what time of year is it now? It has already passed the spring plowing, and it will take some time to harvest. Even if the common people are in chaos, they will wait until after the harvest. How can they be harvested now? Instigated by traitors of the Eternal Life Cult?”

Gongyang Yongye first nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense, and the timing is wrong, but - has the general ever considered the possibility that the fields about to be harvested have little to do with them?"

It's not your own field, so I won't feel bad if it's ruined.

The people in Lu State were going crazy.

He blurted out: "How can it be irrelevant?"

Gongyang Yongye looked into the other person's eyes with a half-smile but not a smile. There was no sadness or joy in those eyes but an almost indifferent color.

He asked back: "Seriously, it doesn't matter?"

These five short words sounded like thunder on the ground.

Many people present were shaken to the point of numbness, and some indescribable guilt and fear spread in their hearts. Even though they only need to respond with three words: "It doesn't matter," some people want to open their mouths but find that their tongues seem to have been filled with lead water and they can't open their mouths no matter what.

Gongyang Yongye calmly made up the score.

"I remember many years ago, the southwest was more mountainous and watery than land, and there was not much arable land. It was difficult to cultivate. During the hurricane season, floods were frequent and it was more difficult for crops to survive. Over the past few decades, the situation has eased slightly, but the land that the common people can cultivate has become more and more difficult. Come less and less.”

To say they are common people is better to say they are hooligans who have no house or land.

In order to survive, they can only work as tenants to ensure basic survival, while spending energy to cultivate their own land.

Opening up more than ten acres of land may take a family's efforts for a generation, but plundering it only takes a few days and a little thought. How can the speed of land reclamation as a family unit compare to the speed of harvesting by local wealthy families?

The fields have nothing to do with the common people.

The same is true of the products of the land.

Gong Yang Yongye told the truth, but when it fell on some people's ears, it hurt more than the prick of a silver needle baked by candlelight, as if the skin had been torn off and thrown to the ground for a few steps. If ordinary people said this, they would die eight hundred times earlier, but the person in front of them could make them die eight hundred times on the spot. They could only swallow all their resentment and resentment, and some even felt heartbroken and deeply aggrieved!

Ask yourself, they are not evil gentry.

He has never driven anyone to a dead end.

They rented the land under their name to farmers, and it was only natural that they took a certain percentage of the agricultural output. Where in the world is there land that is cultivated for free? This part is the rent! As for how much tax to pay and how much grain to leave, what does it have to do with them?

Can't afford to live?

You should reflect on whether you are lazy and not working hard enough!

How much effort you put in will get you how much reward you get.

Three-year-old children know the truth, but the unruly people don't know it?

Gongyang Yongye saw this and said no more.

The rebellion of the followers of the Eternal Life Church, regardless of whether it has anything to do with others, has nothing to do with him anyway. If it weren't for this bunch of shitty things that didn't leave people a way to live, who would be willing to rebel?

Luo Yuan looked at the faces of the crowd and was silent.

As mentioned before, many high-level believers of the Eternal Life Church were from local big families. They joined the church not because they believed in the doctrine, but purely because they could more easily manage the "believers" under their rule after joining the church. They found that managing this group of believers was easier than fooling the common people.

Tenant believers have to pay more than just the autumn and summer taxes and rents.

As believers, they also have to pay tribute.

These profits naturally did not fall into the hands of the leader of the Eternal Life Sect, but were all taken away by the so-called tributes from all over the country under various pretexts. These tributes took off their fake skins, but they were still the same group of people. With layer upon layer of pressure, there was no food left even in good years.

Do these people really not know?

Or do they know, but don't care?

As long as they are alive and not starving to death, they don't have to worry?

Regardless of whether the news is true or false, the culprit is either the Eternal Life Sect or Shen Youli! In short, it won't be any of them.

Qi Cang received the news a step later because he didn't come for fishing.

He smacked his lips: "This day repeats year after year, year after year, why didn't they rebel earlier or later, but suddenly rebel now?"

He didn't believe that Kang Guo had no hand in this.

Shen Wuyou Tang first glanced at his empty fish basket and answered casually: "Maybe no one told them that they were standing on the edge of the cliff before? Someone shouted, and they all saw the situation. If they took another step back, they would be crushed to pieces."

It's death anyway, so how can barefoot people be afraid of wearing shoes?

Qi Cang said: "This person is immoral."

"Immoral?"

Qi Cang looked at her meaningfully and sneered: "How can he not be immoral? The main forces of the Southwest Allied Forces have been dragged here. How many people can be transferred from the country to quell the rebellion? If the rebellion cannot be quelled quickly, the fields will be barren and no one will harvest them. I don't know how many people will starve to death this year. With so many karmas, I don't know if the people behind them can bear it."

Little did she know that Qi Cang's worries were also the worries of the Son of God.

Before the real rebellion, she was worried.

[If it doesn't work, there will be as many as one million casualties! ]

She was also uneasy when she thought that so many people would be indirectly killed because of her. These believers continue to be in a daze, at least they can survive. If they wake up, what will happen if they really die?

[Your Highness, the Holy Son, do not hesitate, just follow the footsteps of the true God. ] Cui Xiao said calmly, [God, will send down the rain. ]

Do you want to drag this battle until winter?

Wujie and Xiake are really great inventions. The anniversary pendant was obtained by solo play

PS: (Last week, I played it more than 60 times without getting it. Today, I was bored while playing it while reading fan fiction. I can only say that some old men don’t love it too much.)

PPS: The hell joke of the last chapter is that Zhai Le, who proposed it, and Tang Mei, who agreed to it, did not intend to keep their promise completely. It is equivalent to tacitly acknowledging that we imitated Emperor Guangwu in the first half, and Sima Yi backstabbed us in the second half, relying on our own abilities.
