Chapter 360
Although the facts are indeed right in front of them, the two sisters still don't believe it. The man who led people to kill all the Imperial City Division in a rage, the man who made a big fuss in the Penal Hall this morning, and the genius who is only 18 years old...
…Is it really the man in front of me?
The contrast is too great.
"Humph, this is what geniuses look like. If it's not me, I'm not a genius!!"
Ling Han: "..."
Ling Bing: "..."
It seems that there is no way to refute it.
"Let's go, let's take you there..." Lin Ye originally wanted to take the two sisters to a commercial street for dinner, but then he thought about it, his own canteen is very good, why not go to a commercial street.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye said: "Let's take you to the canteen of our Nanweitang to eat~"
"Um!"
At this time, there are very few people coming to the canteen, but as the only canteen in Nanweitang, it will still be open until very late.
"Young City Lord, you are here. Whatever you want to eat, just take it!"
The cafeteria of Nanweitang is a group of chairs in the back, and there are at least thirteen dishes on many tables in the front. In the past, Nanweitang practiced the practice of giving a small amount of money to eat whatever you wanted, so the monthly deficit was up to one thousand taels.
Things are getting better now. First of all, Nanweitang disciples are not allowed to set foot in the main hall of Nanweitang. This will stop the family members of Nanweitang disciples from coming here to have a meal.
Although this policy had a huge response when it was first implemented, this opposition was suppressed as Shi Wuwei, the most prestigious of the four captains, surrendered to Lin Ye.
There is no other way, everyone still wants to work as a clerk in Nanweitang and earn a living.
The second policy is to increase the price. Each meal costs thirty copper coins (it only cost five copper coins before, even for children), and then you can come in and eat as you like. A meal costs twenty copper coins. In ordinary times, it costs only five copper coins.
The amount must be ridiculous in the eyes of the common people (in this book, a meal for ordinary people is about one copper coin), but this is the Qingcheng sect after all.
Food affects the body, and at least everyone must eat well. This will have very high requirements for the dishes, and also very high requirements for the chefs, and the cost will be a lot. Even if each disciple costs 30 cents for a meal, the current canteen
It's just self-sufficient, and at least it's not like losing money like before.
"Eat whatever you want, I'll treat you~" Lin Ye greeted the two sisters. His sister Ling Han was still a little cautious, but Ling Bing couldn't wait to pick up the plate to support the food. It seems that these two sisters have lived a really good life.
It's a matter of poverty.
Lin Ye smiled, found a seat on the second floor near the window and sat down. He looked at the two sisters and said, "Since you came from China, how is the situation in the Central Plains now?"
Ling Han hesitated for a moment and said: "It's a lot more chaotic than before."
"A lot of chaos?"
"Well, as the imperial court continues to take action against small and medium-sized sects, a large number of Jianghu sects' properties are seized, resulting in more and more Jianghu people wandering in the Jianghu, and more and more people without jobs, and various crimes
The rise has been so great that even if the government sees petty theft, they don’t bother to take care of it because the prisons are full of people.”
Lin Ye was a little surprised and said: "The court doesn't care?"
"Of course I took care of it. At the beginning, the imperial court promised to give the masters of the world important positions in the imperial court to appease people's hearts. This was said to the outside world. In fact, except for a few people who have connections, the really powerful and lucky bosses really got it.
I am an enviable official position, and the promises made by the imperial court to most people are just a reflection in the mirror, with no intention of realizing them."
"The imperial court first promised important positions, but immediately disowned them after disbanding the sect. By then, the sect's people had lost their hearts and it was too late to regret. If they wanted to resist, they would be brutally killed by the imperial court."
"As for the severance pay promised to ordinary gang disciples, it was just a verbal promise. Even after the sect's wealth was robbed, the court didn't care about anything."
Lin Ye said: "I've heard of this too, didn't everyone understand it later?"
Ling Han smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Because there are some good examples that are indeed very successful. Everyone thinks that they will be the lucky ones. Even if they know all the disgusting actions of the court, they still endure it silently until they can't bear it anymore.
, it’s actually too late.”
"The power of Jianghu Sect has been weakened to the limit, and the hearts of the people have dispersed. Even if they resist, they will not cause much harm to the imperial court. As for the various assassinations in the rumors to make the imperial court compromise, they are actually just self-comfort."
"Those who were killed were all minor officials. Once they were killed, there would be countless people waiting to replace them. It would be of no use at all."
Lin Ye asked again: "Isn't the court worried about civil unrest among wandering people and unemployed people?"
Ling Han replied softly: "Army, these days, the imperial army is recruiting troops on a large scale. People in the world disdain to join the army, but most ordinary people, who have a good meal to eat, most choose to join the army.
"
"As for those unwilling Jianghu people, although they are strong, they only account for a very small proportion among the people. The imperial court does not care at all. Now, the Jianghu forces in the Central Plains have completely collapsed and fallen into the hands of the imperial court. Only the remaining
The areas around the Lushan Sword Sect in the south and the entire northwest are still in the hands of Jianghu people."
"Now, with a large number of martial arts people setting foot in the northwest, we are just waiting for the martial arts conference in a few days. I wonder if it can give some hope to the martial arts world."
"That's the same." Lin Ye nodded and began to think deeply.
The world's industry was taken back to the imperial court, both for power and money.
At the same time, they began to recruit a large number of troops and expand the army. Such a big move must not only be for the six major sects.
Lin Ye suddenly thought that now, the Sixteen States of Yanyun were still in the hands of the Liao Kingdom, and it seemed that a war was about to begin.
Lin Ye invited the two sisters to finish the meal, then said goodbye and left, although he didn't spend any money.
The people in the cafeteria refused to take any money from Lin Ye.
This made Lin Ye a little helpless, and finally secretly put down the copper coins and sighed: Every time the superiors behave willfully, in the final analysis, they are supported by the people below, and the price of every willfulness must be borne by the people below.
.
It's really ironic.
The reason why the boy who slayed the dragon and turned into an evil dragon was actually to comply with public opinion.
You followed the trend and slayed the dragon under the influence of public opinion.
But he will also slowly get lost under the adulation and flattery of the people, and transform into a new evil dragon.
It's all just public opinion.
Human beings will always be human beings, not gods.
Everyone should not believe that someone will make decisions for them, but should make their own decisions and become a truly independent person.
Lin Ye looked at the backs of his sisters who were leaving. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked towards his cabin. Another day passed.
