It's just a game, why did you dig up my grave?

After leaving Shangqing Temple, Zhang Jiao walked around with his two younger brothers.

Whenever you encounter a poor person who is sick, you must lend a helping hand.

Although Chu Xuan's medical skills are somewhat improvised.

But with the blessing of the title "A Good Liver" and his experience in several lifetimes, he is still far superior to most doctors.

Zhang Jiao, who has a spiritual understanding and has also learned Chu Xuan's medical skills, is not bad either.

Often, many symptoms will improve quickly after just a few doses of medication.

The reputation of the three people is also growing.

However, as he traveled to more and more places, Zhang Jiao discovered that he could cure people's physical diseases, but could not change the reality that they were still poor.

Even if they are cured this time, under the heavy taxes and labor, many people will fall ill again due to fatigue soon.

Whenever there is a famine, local governments not only fail to provide relief, but even more aggressively force the people to pay taxes.

In order to pay taxes, many people had to sell their land to landlords and gentry at extremely low prices.

Sometimes they even sell their children in order to survive.

Under such serious land annexation, more and more people have become landless tenant farmers.

Even if you work hard every year, you can only barely survive.

If you get a little sick, if there are too few sons in the family, there will be no one to farm the land.

The whole family will starve to death.

Looking at the sallow and thin people, Zhang Jiao couldn't bear it.

After thinking about it for countless days and nights, and remembering the skills taught by his master in Shangqingguan, he finally set his sights on the landowners and wealthy households.

Soon, a religion called "Taiping Dao" was established in the hometown of the three Zhang Jiao brothers.

Taiping Road regards Huang Tian as the supreme god.

The world under the governance of Huangdi was a "peaceful world".

In the peaceful world, there is no exploitation and oppression, fraud and theft, and no hunger, cold, or disease.

In the peaceful world, there are ghosts and gods who monitor people's every move.

If you do evil things, your life span will be shortened.

Doing good deeds will increase your life span.

Ask people to do more good deeds and less evil.

People who do a lot of good deeds will enter the "peaceful world" and enjoy happiness after death.

Those who do a lot of evil will suffer endless consequences.

Zhang Jiao used the prestige and skills he had accumulated over the years to treat countless wealthy gentry.

He also preached his Taiping Dao teachings while treating illnesses.

Since Zhang Jiao has been treating illnesses for many years, he has been labeled as a man of enlightenment.

Coupled with the skills he learned from Chu Xuan, Taiping Dao is packaged in a very attractive way.

Soon he gained many female relatives of wealthy landlords as believers.

Especially the elderly.

In order to offset the "evil" they had done before, they donated a large amount of property to Taiping Road.

These belongings were distributed to the poor by the three Zhang Jiao brothers.

Among ordinary people who live in poverty and see no hope, the peaceful world depicted by Zhang Jiao is even more destructive.

Plus some gruel for the Taiping congregation to share.

In just a few years, Taipingdao gained a large number of followers.

Everything was originally going in a good direction.

Taipingdao is getting bigger and bigger, with more and more believers.

When times are bad, everyone can get rice soup from the church to avoid starving to death.

But a sudden severe drought plunged Taiping Road into an unprecedented crisis.

This drought has only six brief words in the history books.

There is great hunger in old age, and people eat each other.

But these six short words represent a cruel and sad history.

This is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster.

The wealthy people who previously believed in Taiping Road stopped their hypocrisy.

He locked his granary tightly and began to frantically purchase land from people who could not afford to pay taxes.

The price is only two bags of millet.

As the famine became more severe, the land purchase price even dropped to a bag of millet.

Countless people have to eat because there is no food.

The child ate all the bark and all the bark, so he could only eat Guanyin soil and slowly wait for death.

Only the people in the Taipingdao area can barely get a little rice soup every day.

However, as time went by, Zhang Jiao and the others stored less and less food.

"Big brother!"

Zhang Liang suddenly rushed from the outside into the tent where Zhang Jiao was.

shouted anxiously.

"Our food is about to be exhausted, and there are more and more hungry people. What should we do?"

Zhang Jiao, who was sitting on the ground in deep thought, slowly raised his head when he heard these words, with a haggard look on his face.

"How many more days can you eat?"

"If this continues, we will run out of food in a week at most.

Brother, please think of a solution quickly. "

"Oh, what else can I do?"

Zhang Jiao got up from the ground and came outside the tent.

Looking at the thin and sallow people all over the mountains and plains.

A sense of sadness could not help but arise in my heart.
