trustee of the gods

He lends usurious loans, but to a certain extent, he has to admit that he has indeed solved his urgent needs. Of course, the most important thing is that the money he puts out has no compound interest.

If you borrow three buckets of grain and ask you to pay back five buckets, you only need to pay back five buckets. It doesn’t matter if the harvest of grain this year is not good, you can pay it back next year if you say so.

Generally speaking, this person is a complicated person. Although he didn't do anything good, it has to be said that he did help some people.

It's just that his identity as an exploiter and oppressor cannot be removed.

Therefore, it is said that the death penalty can be avoided, but the life penalty cannot be escaped.

"Li Shi, you have made too many mistakes, but there are no serious mistakes. Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped."

When he said this to Li Shi, the other party seemed very excited.

It was ignited again in an instant, and the hope of life appeared in the eyes.

Chapter 3 Fighting the local tyrants and dividing the fields

Li Yi looked at Li Shi, and the ups and downs gave him a lot of stimulation, which made him feel a little unspeakable excitement and a sense of survival after the catastrophe.

A great man once said that if you want to add windows to a house, you must first propose to remove the roof. At this time, if you want windows, no one will object.

Li Yi adopted a similar method, first not telling the other party that he was not going to kill him, making the other party think that he was dead.

When he fell into extreme despair, he would tell the other party his real purpose, so that the other party would feel lucky for surviving his life, and even be grateful to himself.

In the same way, it will become more acceptable for the losses that I have suffered.

Some of them may feel that this is okay. Although they lost some things, at least they saved their lives.

The so-called Stockholm syndrome is probably similar to this.

In fact, his guess is really close to ten. Li Shi really thinks so in his heart now, no matter how much he loses, he will save his life.

And judging from the other party's appearance, it seems that he is not prepared to pursue other matters.

For him, as long as he can survive, it is a good thing, and he is even a little grateful to Li Yi now.

"The food you have grown in these fields is all obtained by exploiting the villagers on weekdays. And all the money you put in before must be returned. In the end, all your slaves must be released, and I will distribute your land and property to Everyone.

Of course, you can rest assured that a part of it will be left for you, so that you will not be unable to live on. "After Li Yi finished speaking, he looked at him calmly and indifferently.

Hearing this, Li Shi just nodded repeatedly, and even couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

As long as you can save your life, it's better than anything else.

His sons and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, their lives were saved.

But thinking of this, the expressions on the faces of his sons suddenly became a little embarrassed, and they already thought about what they would face later.

It is probably possible to be beaten, no, it is not possible but certain, even though they are all strong men, their father is already an old man, if they really do it, it is his father who tore them down, They did not dare to resist.

So the faces of a few people are not very good-looking now, like the father of a child with poor grades who is waiting at home to return from the parent-teacher meeting.

The foreseeable situation cannot be avoided.

"Besides that, you bullied the villagers and injured many of them. But considering your age, let's forget about it. But you can escape and your sons can't escape.

The father's debt is paid by the son, and if you beat him when you are older, you may kill him. One of the things that happened to hit someone was your sons. "

As Li Yi said, Moban had already pushed those strong men up.

Li Shi was worried now, what if you didn't plan to kill yourself and killed all your sons?

He even wanted to get up and shout, and everything was coming at me.

But after hearing Li Yi's words, he didn't do anything.

"You guys usually oppress the village. Although death is inevitable, life is inevitable." He took out a whip and lashed at them.

The strong men didn't dare to hide, so they could only bear it silently. After being whipped, they immediately let out screams.

Li Yi's level guarantees that the pump will not leave any hidden injuries, at most it will be pain and skin trauma.

The cries of several people seemed very, very miserable, of course they did it on purpose, they all understood that they should yell for mercy at this time.

If you insist on pretending to be a tough guy there, the one with backbone will be beaten even worse.

At the same time, they still felt a little lucky in their hearts to be whipped here, and they wouldn't be whipped by their father later.

These few people were beaten and cried, but the people in the audience let out a bad breath.

Watching them being whipped, I felt great joy in my heart, as if it wasn't Li Yi who was wielding the whip, but themselves.

Some people even started to applaud, "Good! Good draw!"

The voices of the few people who were whipped were naturally very miserable, and the clothes on their bodies had turned into strips of cloth, and the whole body was dripping with blood, and their flesh and blood were mutilated.

On the other side, Li Shi's wife looked at the sons on the stage who were already crying secretly, but when she looked at her husband, he seemed to be fine.

She just felt a pang of anger for no reason in her heart, that her son was beaten like this, yet he still had a face to smile, he could still smile.

In fact, Li Shi was not worried at all. He could tell that although these sons looked like they had been beaten badly, they actually didn't suffer much damage inside.

Otherwise, listening to the voice is full of anger until now, if it was really beaten badly, it would already be moaning in pain, how could it be so painful to shout?

He is still very clear about these things.

It's just that seeing his daughter-in-law look at him fiercely, he has no choice but to restrain his smile.

I don't dare to explain more now, what should I do if someone else hears it?

So he can only be silent.

He didn't know how many whips they had been whipped. Li Yi didn't count or remember, but just grasped the number to ensure that several people looked miserable.

Finally, he stopped waving his whip and didn't care about it, and they were still crying in pain.

The voice of the villagers who looked to the side was very impassioned, "Folks, let's do the most important thing next. Divide the land and distribute the food."

After Li Yi finished speaking, all the people in the audience fell into a sea of ​​joy. He had heard him say this before, but hearing the other party say it at this time, these villagers still couldn't hide their joy in their hearts.

As time passed bit by bit, the noise of the crowd finally began to gradually stop. Li Yi waved his hand and started according to the scheduled plan, leading these Mohist disciples to count the villagers one by one.

Statistics of the population and the situation at home, of course, the most important thing is to visit in person to ensure that no mistakes can be made.

Investigate the same usury as Li Shitou, and the food that comes out of nine out of thirteen returns. After you remember the fixed amount, give them all the food except the principal.

Of course, if there is not enough food, you can also replace it with other things, such as cloth and salt.

These people also know that it is a great thing to get it back, and they don't force the same food as before to give something of equivalent value.

The most important thing is that a piece of land can be allocated immediately. You must know that most of these villagers have no land. Their fields are all obtained from Li Shi's injury. give him one.

So, if you are busy all year round, you can only hang out without starving to death.

As for the others, we only have to look at the harvest year. If the year is good, there will be some leftovers. If the year is not good, there will be nothing left.

Now that they will be able to share a piece of their own land immediately, these people are naturally very excited.

Chapter 3 Fifteen: Beat the local tyrants and divide the fields (2)

Li Yi held a stack of paper in his hand, and it was obvious that these Mohists were very interested in the paper in his hand.

However, it was a busy time at this time, and no one asked much.

Many villagers are excited now, and they are not going to sleep at all, so they come here to divide their fields.

Li Yi reckoned that if this situation continued, these Mohist disciples would not be able to sleep tonight.

Since it is necessary to divide, it is necessary to find out how many fields there are around the whole Zhuangzi, how many upper fields, middle fields, and lower fields. You must know that the output of one upper field is more than three lower fields, and it is more convenient and labor-saving to cultivate the upper field.

In this era, without any chemical fertilizers and pesticides, coupled with water conservancy projects, the effect is really not very good. Whether the grain harvest is good or not basically depends on God.

A good field can sometimes determine the harvest of this year. All of these need little help to assist in the calculation. If you rely solely on manpower, it may not be done in ten days and a half months.

But the problem is that Li Yi brought two intelligent robots, as long as they can input parameters, they will understand and calculate by themselves.

At the same time, they can even automatically divide the fields, and cleverly customize the most reasonable plan based on the current situation of the entire village, the situation of farm tools, the number of people and the number of laborers owned by each household.

He can even print out the list reasonably, and even convert it into the world standard regular script.

Science and technology are primary productive forces, and great men do not deceive me.

When Li Yi took up to 10 minutes to sort out the list and show it to them.

Mo Ban and the other Mohist disciples looked like they had seen a ghost.

It's not that they don't understand, it's that they lack imagination, and they can't imagine how Li Yi can handle all this in such a short period of time.

And even the list has already been written, they just need to follow the above, and what they want is to write it in great detail.

As small as a bowl, as large as a cow, how to use and how to distribute are clearly written.

For example, farm cattle have been converted from private to public use, and they are used in turn during the spring plowing season every year.

Of course, it also left enough resources for Li Shi and his family to survive. As long as they didn't get out of production like before, and honestly cultivated the land, they would be able to survive.

Moreover, according to statistical calculations, there is still a lot of surplus allocated to the fields, all of which are given to these people to ensure that their living standards can be improved to a higher level.

In addition, all the few farm tools were also thrown away, but some of them were also left for Li Shi and his family.

These things are not important, because after laying down the city, Li Yi will start researching new tools immediately.

He will collect a large amount of ironware and make it by himself. Of course, it is only a model, and the rest needs a lot of craftsmen to make it bit by bit.

Many tools will start to be updated, and he alone is fully capable of promoting an industrial revolution.

Of course, it will take a long time even for him, and it will definitely not be completed in three to five years.

It is estimated that if the first industrial revolution is to be completely completed, even if he comes to carry out accelerated research, it will probably take more than ten years to complete.

All the people are gathered here, waiting to receive their own fields. Li Yi and the others have asked Moban to rush to make all the land deeds overnight. It is not difficult to make these, but it takes manpower and time.

Li Yi planned to use paper for preservation, but adopted the traditional bamboo slips. Fortunately, they brought some blank bamboo slips with them in the last shift to write clearly.

You must know that in this era, the price of bamboo slips is not low even if they are blank.

First of all, the production of bamboo slips is not easy, and the failure rate is not low. Planting bamboo, selecting materials for baking, each requires a lot of hard work by the craftsman who made it.

And maybe because of the weather, there will be problems if you are not careful.

If such bamboo slips are finished, the storage time will be much longer than those on A4 paper.

If it is kept in a cool and dry place, it will not be eaten by animals such as mice, and it can even be preserved for hundreds of thousands of years under normal circumstances.

Unless the paper is specially preserved and handled well, the words on it may become blurred after decades.

Although Li Yi will establish a complete household registration system and land system after unifying the world, at this time he must at least give these villagers a guarantee, a guarantee that can make them feel at ease.

Tell them to take this thing down, this piece of land will be yours from now on, don’t worry, you won’t be able to explain it clearly, even if you die, your child will be able to prove that this piece of land is not your.

In this era, a lot of arable land has not even been fully developed, and the land will always remain in surplus, so there is no need for anyone to compete for their own land.

The faces of the villagers are all smiling. That kind of smile comes from the heart. It is difficult to describe this kind of smile. After thinking about it for a long time, I can only use three words to describe it: very simple.

They are very happy, really happy. From then on, they only need to pay government taxes, not land rent.

And I heard from the gods that the taxes paid to the government will also be reduced, and they only need to pay a little tax to live well, and their lives will get better and better in the future.

Excited, extremely excited, sleepless, sleepless all night.

Until the first golden morning glow dyed half of the sky, and every villager got his own land deed and farm tools to share.

Make a plan for next year's spring plowing for several households to use cattle in turn.

In addition, according to the number of fields per household, the responsibility for feeding cattle began.

When all these things were done, it was almost dawn, and most of the villagers were very excited, only some women took their children back to sleep.

Others can't wait to run to their field immediately, lie down on it, and touch it.

Although he didn't know what was going on with the land before, but now he owns it, and the grain grown on it is also his own.

After waiting for a while, when the grain in the field is harvested, I can do other things by myself, such as pulling a piece of cloth or looking for someone to repair my house, or buying a piece of meat and adding two cents of wine, and then a good year.

For these peasants who have dealt with the land all their lives and are as simple as old scalpers, this is already the greatest wish in their hearts.

Some people looked at their disciples lying on it seriously and even couldn't control their tears.

Moban and the others, the Mohist children, hadn't slept all night, and at this time they had already moved to a place to lie down indiscriminately.

It is normal for them to spread two rolls of straw randomly on the ground and a piece of rag to sleep on. It is normal for them to eat, drink and sleep.

It is enough to have a place to lie down.
