Looking at Qin Li who lowered his eyes and thought deeply, Gu Chi still had an inscrutable demeanor on his face, half-smiling, but in fact he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. He also used the cover of his sleeves to rub his sweaty palms and pray secretly.
Qin Li, don’t ask anymore.
Ask again——
He's about to reveal his secret.
Maybe God heard his prayer.
He watched Qin Li's frown gradually relax, and then sighed softly: "Since ancient times, the reform process has been like tiptoeing on the tip of a knife. There has never been an example where it can be accomplished without hurting a single soldier. Shen Jun's thoughts
Being bold, daring to do things that no one before you dared to do, and serving the people wholeheartedly is indeed rare, but once you make a mistake, the consequences will be irreversible..."
This is also one of Qin Li's personal experiences.
I know full well how big a storm this matter will cause.
No, the change Shen Jun planned was much greater than what he experienced back then - the latter was just a change in a small country, while the former might be a flame of change that was about to sweep across the entire continent.
He asked: "Shen Jun is really not afraid?"
Qin Li also understood at this moment why Qishan Association chose Shen Jun. It was probably because of Shen Jun's youthful spirit and his anti-traditional attitude. And coincidentally, Qi Yuanliang was also a crazy disciple at heart.
These two are bastards looking at mung beans, and they see each other right.
Gu Chi: "..."
That guy Qi Yuanliang is a bastard.
My lord is not a mung bean.
No matter how bad it is, it has to be Golden Doudou!
He complained, and then heard Qin Li's voice suddenly change, and sighed: [Unfortunately, although this move is beneficial, it does not apply to anyone. At least, it does not apply to Tianhai... Sigh.]
Any change will affect the interests of vested interests.
These people are originally Wu Xian's supporters.
They support the protagonist Wu Xian not only because of Wu Xian's personal charm, but also because of "profitability".
Once such changes are carried out and their interests are touched, they will turn their swords around and point the sharp edge at Wu Xian.
This is one of them.
As for the second one——
Tianhai is rich and fertile, and he has been cultivating himself over the years. The corvée service is light, the taxes are low, and the grain storehouse is abundant. It is not yet a poverty level that requires brave warriors to become "sharecroppers".
There is no need to take risks to carry out this kind of change. It will do more harm than good - offending those people too early will even shake the position of the protagonist Wu Xian - if it really comes to the end of the road, this method can be used as a "note"
Strong medicine”!
On the contrary, Shen Jun's team has no such worries.
Gu Chi: "..."
If you think about it carefully, this is really what happened.
Precisely because he is too poor, everyone is willing to throw away any moral integrity in order to get a mouthful of food. In addition, the lord also has a good eloquence that is proficient in "moral kidnapping" and can explain people clearly. Isn't this how Zhao Dayi was treated?
Deceiving?
If the staff under my account are high-born and fastidious...
I guess Qin Li is second.
From this point of view, being poor is also an advantage.
He said: "No one should be arrogant and waste his youth. My Lord has always been bold and cautious. If he was afraid, he would not do this again."
As he said this, he was muttering in his heart.
He bets that his lord has never thought about what Qin Li is worried about when he does this. High-level brave warriors are strong and capable. One person can stand up to hundreds or even thousands of common people! If you don't take advantage of it, you will suffer a loss! You can't eat anything.
Suffer!
So Kejin prostituted Zhao Feng's labor force for free.
_(:з)∠?)_
Qishan and the others did not stop Shen Tang, not because they did not think about this, but because they felt that their own territory was small, no matter how hard they worked, how they squeezed the courageous warriors and literary scholars, it was just a joke after dinner to the outside world, and no one took it seriously. .
Who will follow suit?
It is just to solve an urgent need, and it will not cause serious consequences, let alone rise to the unprecedented height of "Change Continent". The reason why Qishan became so angry last night is partly because Qin Li "stands and talks without feeling pain in the back."
They just want to feed the people and survive, but Qin Li repeatedly takes advantage of "endless troubles" to get on top of the agenda.
"People are young and old with worries, and flowers are young with no worries..." Qin Li still disagreed, but his tone was not as strong and determined as before. He just used an inexplicable and wistful tone, "Shen Jun, if you dare to think, act, and take responsibility, It’s truly admirable.”
only--
There are many examples in this world of well-intended intentions that end up being self-defeating and counterproductive. I only hope that Mr. Shen can understand the principle of "drawing lessons from past mistakes and learning from those behind you" as soon as possible, and stop his actions as soon as possible, or - wait until the time is right to plan this matter again.
"Keeping people alive is more important than anything else." Because of Qin Li, Gu Chi also began to really worry about this matter. If it was really a long-term governance policy, he thought about what kind of system should be formulated to maximize the use of brave warriors. ability without affecting the political power and social stability. "At least, He Yin relied on it to get through the most difficult first year..."
Before the hidden dangers were exposed, Ha Yin People's Association was the staunchest supporter and advocate of this system.
Because they are the winners.
Without the courageous warriors headed by Zhao Feng to take the lead, clearing wasteland, plowing fields, and building houses, with He Yin's small population and labor force, even if he went non-stop all year round without eating, drinking, or sleeping, it would be difficult to reach the current level. .
Not to mention this year’s little harvest.
Let’s talk about digging rivers and building reservoirs and canals...
Which corvee does not want to be filled with a large number of young men?
You must know that corvee is the unpaid labor of common people.
No matter how much work the common people do, they are not paid.
If brave warriors did it for them, the common people who would have been drafted into corvee would not have to participate in heavy labor, and could still enjoy the benefits of these projects - no longer worrying about God's disapproval.
The risk of drought and floods has been significantly reduced.
Even if it is not a good year, at least it will not be a disaster year, and the minimum living conditions for the common people can be guaranteed.
Gu Chi said: "Let's take it one step at a time."
Qin Li could see that Gu Chi didn't want to talk more, and he didn't feel that he was being neglected - such secrets must only be known to Shen Jun's confidants. As an outsider, it was quite remarkable that Gu Chi was willing to talk to him so much. Not easy.
Therefore, I skip this topic wisely.
Show consideration and thoughtfulness.
Gu Chi: "..."
Although, it is not necessary.
?(????w????)?
The above are all made up by him, fresh and hot. I don’t want to say it, just because he can’t make them up anymore.
The two sat and drank tea in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, discussing how to mobilize manpower, where to dig reservoirs, dig rivers, and divert the running water from the Miao River. Because the reservoir can benefit the sky and the sea, Qin Li was very interested in this.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin's etiquette has not yet been exhausted.
But he still had some unfinished business, so he could only stand up and leave with regret. Not long after he left the official office, Qi Shan came back, with no emotion or anger on his face. Seeing the tea set on the table that he had not yet put away, he said: " Qin Gongsu has come."
This is a declarative sentence.
Doesn't seem surprised at all.
Gu Chi said: "The front foot just left."
Qishan sat down at Qin Li's seat.
He started to replace someone's used tea set and got a new tea set that had not been used: "He must have come here because he had figured it out. Just as it happened, Yiru also agreed, and now only Shangnan's family is left.
It will be much easier.”
Gu Chi: "Qin Gongsu is a stubborn person, but he is not a pedantic person. He is easy to talk to..."
Meeting Qi Shan is like eating a hundred and eighty firecrackers, and your brain and reason run away from home hand in hand...
Simply outrageous!
I don’t want to say too many words when praying for good.
Gu Chi's face was full of curiosity and gossip.
Qishan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him.
Putting down the tea bowl, he said helplessly: "My relationship with Qin Gongsu was not that bad at first. Although there were wariness and conflicts, we were generally sympathetic to each other. But - do you know who my next lord will be after the death of Qin Gongsu?"
"
Gu Chi: "..."
Gu Chi: "???"
Gu Chi: "!!!"
A bold idea suddenly came to his mind - after Qi Shan killed the former Lord Qin Gongsu, wouldn't he have defected to the hostile forces that conquered Qin Li's homeland?
Gu Shen
Qishan looked at his pupils and admitted.
"Yes, it's what you think."
There was nothing he could do if he missed and was captured.
Gu Chi was speechless and choked. He even felt that Qin Li was really a well-educated and true gentleman, so he didn't draw his sword in anger and kill the scourge of praying for mercy - what kind of restraint was this!
Gu Chi was speechless and murmured: "You don't do any of the things that people do..."
Qi Shan sneered again and again.
Standing up: "So this is how Wangchao sees me. In this case, if I do something personal, wouldn't I be stigmatized in vain? I will leave all the miscellaneous affairs of the government office to you."
After saying that, he walked away.
With a wave of his sleeves, only the official duties piled to the rafters were left.
Gu Chi: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Pray for evil and come back!!!
——————————
"Fuck, this rubbish named Lu!"
Gu Chi was cursing in his heart. Coincidentally, his lord Shen Jun was also "talking dirty" at this moment, greeting the eighteen generations of the Luxia County Sheriff's family. It was not just Shen Tang who had the same mood, but also the three Tianhai families.
Stomach is burning.
This matter starts from the scuffle last night.
The biological mother of the "unfilial sons" was responsible for bringing them into the world, and Shen Tang was responsible for sending them to the west with the sword of loving mother.
With the sword raised and dropped, the killing is straightforward.
Although the four families had no tacit understanding and each fought his own way, they relied on their elite combat power to suppress the sneak attack bandits. For a moment, heads and screams flew together, and the night and blood fell together.
The scar-faced thief has two brushes.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he also showed his "trump card"!
A group of five hundred and second-class shield-wielding warriors, they were leading the way forward and were assisted by soldiers armed with guns and swords. Their shields were transformed by martial energy and were huge in shape, one foot high on the left and right.
Half a foot wide and one finger thick.
A shield is held by two strong men.
The weapon smashed into it, leaving only a shallow mark.
If you try to get over the heavy shields and reach the rear, you will immediately fall into the circle of their heavy shields and face the isolated situation of being strangled. These heavy shield warriors all have numb expressions. Even if they are stabbed with a hole, they will not frown and will be the first to fight.
Time to counterattack - take advantage of the enemy's stunned moment to stab him with a spear.
Kang Shi was the first to notice the heavy-shield warriors. When they appeared in formation, he ordered Xianyu Jian to transform his troops into martial arts and send martial warriors to break the formation.
"These heavy shield warriors are a bit strange..."
Chu Yao, who was carrying the whole audience, did not forget to pay attention to the situation here. If Kang Shiwen was not in a good mood, he could continue to connect immediately. When he heard this, he asked: "What's weird?"
"Five hundred strange soldiers came out from behind the bandits. They were all second-class in strength. They were all as strong as cattle..." It's not like Kang Shi had never seen such elites before. Compared with some luxurious lineups, they were nothing compared to others. But there was no such thing.
A group of people like these breathe in unison and strike in unison. Even swords, guns, swords and halberds cannot cause them pain. It is as if they feel no pain and only know how to kill.
Chu Yao heard this, felt it carefully, and said suspiciously: "It's weird, 'submersing into fire' doesn't work on them."
This is the first time I have seen this happen.
[Sink into fire, bring about your own destruction] is one of Chu Yao's more studied literary works, suitable for melee combat.
Those with low strength or weak will can easily be invaded by the gaps in their souls, recalling the most unbearable and painful memories in their hearts, and even hallucinate. If you wander around on the battlefield, your life may be taken away by stray arrows, let alone a melee between two armies.
.
These five hundred heavy shield warriors obviously do not belong to the former group.
However, it seems that it does not adapt to the latter.
Five hundred second-level top-level craftsmen, each with a will strong enough to withstand the mental attack of a second-level top-level Chinese scribe, has a slimmer chance than Qi Yuanliang's chance of becoming a good man...
Chu Yao was suspicious.
With a flick of his long sleeve, a crow flew out of the sleeve that almost blended into the night. The crow had a strong posture and flexibly evaded the arrows flying from nowhere. Like a wisp of black smoke, it flew towards the heavy-shielded warrior.
, hovering at low altitude.
Snap——
The crow was still split in half.
It turned into silvery white and gray literary energy and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Chu Yao suddenly opened his eyes.
He said: "There is indeed a problem."
Judging from the details of their appearance, these heavy-shield warriors are all common people. Their hands are the traces of years of hard work rather than years of training. Their expressions are numb, their eyes are dull, and their pupils are cloudy. They do not have the sharpness and perseverance of elite soldiers... They are like puppets.
!
These heavy-shielded warriors formed a formation and pressed forward step by step.
The morale of the originally slumped team of homeless bandits was greatly boosted. Every time they pushed forward, they shouted in unison. The momentum soared into the sky, and the corpses were trampled into mud under their feet.
Shen Tang heard the noise and was almost distracted.
The scar-faced bandit took advantage of the situation and launched an attack.
"Come and accept your fate!"
A clanging sound.
A huge shadow quickly expanded overhead.
The scar-faced bandit's left and right subordinate officers attacked from both sides.
Shen Tang said sternly: "Get out!"
A [Cut the Weeds and Roots] Wu Danyan Ling slashed the opponent back. Although it was not as easy as Gong Xiqiu's ultimate move, it still caught the scarred face off guard. Then he used [Move the Flowers] to force him to attack.
Deviation.
Shaochong is not too far away from Shen Tang's position.
The voice of the heavy shield warrior was naturally captured by him.
He was just thinking about whether to support Shen Tang's side - and at the same time grab some military merits to make up for the losses caused by the woman with two swords crossing the border - before he could move, his chest and heart suddenly shrank, and his blood, which had been calm for a long time, started to boil.
Those pure black eyes had a faint hint of scarlet.
But he can still suppress it.
Just being on the battlefield, the smell of blood everywhere made him upset and angry, and a strong impulse came over him.
I wish I could kill all the living people around me.
Shaochong's subordinate officer was the first to notice something strange about him.
He crushed the Tianling Cap of an enemy brave warrior with his bare hands, and his brains splattered all over his arms.
Subordinate officer: "!!!"
Damn it, why did you get sick at this time!!!
Before he could think of a countermeasure, he saw his figure flicker in front of him, and an afterimage passed by. In the blink of an eye, Shaochong had rushed into the enemy's hinterland and started killing. His methods were extremely cruel and cruel, such as smashing the Tianling Cap with his bare hands and killing him.
It was relatively gentle, and it also involved the operation of tearing living people apart with hands. It took just a few breaths to drop a pile of corpses, killing a group of thieves and bandits nearby who did not dare to move forward.
The subordinate officials immediately sent troops to respond.
He was afraid that Shaochong would be killed while unconscious.
Obviously, his worries were unnecessary.
Different from previous attacks, this time he still retained part of his sanity. Shaochong knew what he was doing - he could kill these enemies, but not the soldiers behind him! So he let go.
The two armies... ah, no, the five armies have not been fighting for a long time. From the ambush to the sneak attack, it took less than half an hour. The battlefield was already littered with corpses, most of which were left behind by bandits.
Although the strength of the four families was reduced, most of them were injured.
Casualties were also concentrated when heavy shield warriors appeared.
While they are still in their infancy - once one's own troops are divided by heavy shield warriors, they cannot take care of both the front and rear, and are easily cannibalized by the opponent in batches - Xian Yujian sacrifices the Wu Bold Tiger Talisman and transforms into a martial soldier, responsible for resisting most of the pressure.
.
In the first wave of feint attacks, more than ten people were dispersed.
At this moment, Chu Yao's voice came to my ears.
"Cooperate and attack."
Xian Yujian has no doubt that he is there.
Then I heard Chu Yao say in an extremely cold voice: "Like the collapse of earth, like the breaking of tiles!"
【Collapse】
Without any warning, the ground under the heavy shield warriors' feet was soft, swallowing their legs like a swamp. The more than 380 martial soldiers blocking their way were covered with a faint layer of silver-white and gray martial arts. I saw them and the heavy shield warriors.
The shields collided, and the surface of the heavy shields made a harsh hissing sound, followed by a smelly white smoke.
The surface of the shield was corroded with deep human-shaped marks.
