And at this time.

Soon the refugee time traveler, after being encouraged by the old Taoist priest who was transformed into Wu Zetian, strengthened his decision.

He quickly began to discover the power he possessed.

He is now a bandit who owns a cottage, colluding with local landlords, squires, businessmen, and officials.

The power at hand includes more than 200 core minions and more than 2,000 peripheral gangsters.

He began to learn from the Water Margin to be a teacher, and the old boy became his fool for many years.

After setting up a set of reward and punishment measures and promotion measures, he just fooled those gangsters every day, telling them to follow him, they would have meat to eat, and they would get pensions when they died.

These days, even if a soldier of the imperial court dies, his pension will basically be swallowed up.

And as long as he does a little better than the court, these gangsters and minions will have fighting spirit.

Then he won over local forces one after another.

In short, he took the most exciting path.

In this kind of feudal society, he has no interest in pursuing such advanced and advanced ideas.

And he didn't want to do that either.

He has worked hard for decades, why should he work for others?

He wouldn't think so.

This is human nature.

Changes in human nature can only gradually change for the better after changes in material and the general environment.

Just like the morality of modern people is several dimensions higher than that of ancient people.

In one sentence, modern people do not regard humans as food, which can be summed up.

It’s not that modern people’s human nature has evolved, it’s that their material resources have become extremely abundant.

Cannibalism is too troublesome, too costly, and too dangerous.

The refugee travelers annexed the surrounding land on a large scale, buying what they could and grabbing what they couldn't.

And Wu Zetian also gave him a golden finger.

Wu Zetian made him immune to all kinds of illnesses, and she even managed to turn disaster into good fortune.

These two methods are to ensure that he does not die.

As long as he doesn't die, he will keep struggling until the dynasty is overthrown.

The reason why many promising rebels failed was actually an accident historically.

Die too young.

History is inherently a mixture of necessity and chance.

Inevitably, it means that in a certain feudal stage, whether Zhang San or Li Si succeeded in their rebellion, they would only establish a feudal dynasty in the end, and they would only use big landowners and big country gentry to rule.

By chance, it is whether Zhang San succeeds or Li Si succeeds.

Which one succeeds, the beggar or the hooligan?

Whether the country squires, officials, and foreign races succeed depends on their luck.

all in all.

As Wu Zetian stepped up her efforts to support the refugee travelers, their power expanded rapidly.

This refugee time traveler naturally has advantages.

First, he is a time traveler, broadcasting his knowledge.

The first thing you need to know is to get information.

He established many spies for hundreds of miles around.

Shops, beggars' dens, roadside black shops, boat dealers...

He gave each other more benefits than before.

Give information with one hand and get benefits with the other.

For the sake of copper plates, silver and food, these idle people played a huge role in news.

Strangers, news from the court, news from big families...

He set up a stick-sticking station, claiming to "stick to everything wherever he goes."

At the same time, he also began to build dams, maintain water conservancy, and use some modern knowledge to increase food production.

This in turn allowed the landowners who relied on him to get more benefits.

Increase total food production.

At the same time, he also began to impose slight restrictions on rural landowners so that the people could have a way to survive.

Only by maintaining order can we develop.

And if people want to have a way to survive, they must create more jobs.

Only when there are many jobs can there be enough products.

His understanding of the economy is far beyond that of the current chief minister.

There is one thing that can completely overwhelm the opponent, and that is that he knows how to circulate products and let the grain of large households circulate to the market.

Let small people buy food from big households and get money to buy food in exchange for working.

For this, he developed allicin and other simple antibiotics.

Drugs are what the wealthy people urgently need.

He even instituted various invisible taxes to harvest food from large households.

It is not possible to directly divide the land to grab grain, but the refugees from modern times have various means to harvest the big households.

After harvesting, the grain is distributed to the people as much as possible.

In this way, the power of the refugee time-travelers is getting bigger and stronger.

But he did not directly confront the officers and soldiers.

According to the explanation given by the spies at this time, the officials and county magistrates only regarded him as an ordinary mountain bandit.

The court is not afraid of mountain bandits.

Bandits were coming one after another, there were too many and they were overwhelming.

What the court was afraid of were the mobile and rebellious bandits.

That is the most harmful.

As bandits, refugee travelers can even collude with local officials.

From the county magistrate to the landlord, there are many people who want to have relations with him.

They need bandits to do some dirty things, and they also need big bandits to stop more bandits, and even help them suppress and kill refugees.

What to do if there are a large number of refugees under the rule?

Let the bandits kill and rob.

And the refugee time traveler began to play the role of this kind of big bandit.

At the same time, in order to solve financial problems, he began to put his tentacles on the salt.

In ancient times, there were many people who rebelled by selling illegal salt.

Moreover, selling illegal salt is a business with many benefits and high risks.

Zhang Shicheng and Huang Chao were like this, but they failed in success.

The fact that they can reach the position of overlord and disrupting the world is actually a success of selling private salt.

The reason why they cannot succeed is, firstly, a matter of luck, and secondly, they are accustomed to thinking in the way of selling private salt.

I didn't think about the big landowners' thoughts, so I didn't change my thinking in time.

It’s not that their background is not good, in fact, selling private salt is still quite possible.

First of all, salt is a common thing in the world.

Secondly, there is no shelf life for salt. It can be transported for any length of time, and at most it will suffer some loss.

Third, if there is salt, there is food.

If you have salt, you can exchange it for food from big households.

For ancient rebellions, this was a better path.

Economic income can be obtained by selling private salt.

Moreover, the price of salt has always been very high in ancient times, so there is absolutely no need to worry about not being able to sell it.
