It is located in a dangerous place in the southwest of Great Yan.
But for ordinary soldiers, this danger is just a higher hillside for martial arts masters.
Kaicheng is still intact.
And in its corresponding Xiawang, a group of scholars who came from the south of the Yangtze River were visiting.
Among literati, there are quite a lot of people who have traveled thousands of miles, and this group of people is it.
"See, after the Holy Army opened the city that day, they did not massacre the city, take no prisoners, or commit adultery. This is very different from what Li Wencai said. In his words, they must kill in large numbers until all ten rooms are empty."
Solve the contradiction between man and earth." An old Juren said doubtfully.
"The Holy Army today is just a group of demon sect members. If you don't read the books of sages, you can't see the truth." Another scholar lamented.
"Humph, on the contrary, they have read too many books by sages. They have been deceived by the benevolence, righteousness and morality spoken by the sages. They think that the one who wins the hearts of the people will win the world. They have no idea how to solve the most difficult problem in the world.
It is exactly the opposite of benevolence and morality: kill, kill, kill, kill!" Another scholar gritted his teeth.
His tone was full of anger that he had been deceived.
He thought that by studying the books of sages, the Four Books well, the Five Classics, the Book of Songs, the Spring and Autumn Annals, and the Book of Documents, cultivating virtues, benevolent, righteous, and caring for the people, he would be able to assist the king and revive the Great Flame... In fact, it was all false, all false.
Incorrect!
What can really solve the problem is the knife in the hands of the barbarian whom he despises the most!
Kill all the people and free up the land. Alas, all these problems will disappear!
The world is at peace again, and there will be another hundred years of prosperity!
"Everything in ancient and modern times involves killing people."
"Killing one is a sin, killing ten thousand is a virtue!"
"Kill ten thousand out of ten thousand, and the year of peace will come again!"
The scholar groaned sadly and angrily.
"This, this, Brother Liu, you are crazy, you are risking your life, how dare you say this?" Another scholar quickly held his hand.
"What are you afraid of? This is Xiawang. I'm wearing a mask."
"You wear a mask, but beware of the villains around you."
"oh."
The sad and indignant Liu Xiucai immediately gave up, fully displaying his style as a keyboard warrior, and walked to the side dejectedly, pretending to look at groceries, as if he was not the one reciting the poem.
The group of people continued walking in the city.
They quickly saw the difference.
Several old ladies who looked like matchmakers were walking from house to house carrying baskets.
"What's in your basket?" Liu Xiucai asked.
The old woman didn't answer as if she hadn't seen them.
"Hey, Brother Liu, why are you still not familiar with the Divine Network? These old people are working in reality at first glance, and are not idlers dreaming of the Divine Network. Of course, they cannot talk to you." Someone laughed.
"No, no, there is also a way, that is, an expert who is proficient in the divine net can pass the words into their ears in reality through the divine net, and they can reply." Another person said.
"I see, it's because I am ignorant and ignorant." Liu Xiucai bowed and said, not at all cynical as before.
At this time, an idle man came over and said, "Hey, fellow scholars, do you want to know what's in this?"
"Think about it, do you know this brother?" Liu Xiucai asked quickly.
Ordinary idle men would not dare to rashly provoke the team of scholars and candidates. This person is definitely not ordinary.
"It's easy to know, but you have to answer my five questions. Of course, it must be within the scope of your knowledge, and I won't embarrass you. If you are embarrassed, you don't have to say anything."
"Okay." Liu Xiucai replied directly.
Then the idle man asked them five questions, all of which were about information about where they were.
Recent prices, household registration number, whether there are any riots, etc...
"Then I'll tell you, it's filled with salted sheep intestines, hehe." The idle man showed a lewd smile.
"That's it." Lao Juren suddenly said.
Others were also thoughtful.
Only Liu Xiucai was still confused: "What do you all understand?"
"This is a good thing." Lao Juren sighed, "There's nothing to explain. Sheep intestines have the same effect as those fertilization drugs, but poor families can't get them."
"But more children mean more blessings, and more children mean more work. How could they take the initiative to avoid having children?" Liu Xiucai asked puzzledly.
"What you said is wrong. The poor also know that there are too many children to raise, and many of them will drown when they are born. Since they know that they will drown, why should they be born? Isn't it because of ignorance, coveting that thing, and not knowing how to avoid it?
Fetus?" Lao Juren shook his head and said.
"So that's it. It seems that there are capable people in the Holy Army today. They are indeed merciful. If you can't afford it, you can stop giving birth. You can do what you can." Liu Xiucai nodded.
"Actually, the imperial court also knew that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it encouraged childbirth and advocated widows to remarry; but in the prosperous times, it was no longer mentioned. Encouraging widows to observe chastity was nothing more than reducing the population. How could the imperial court control the people?" Lao Juren sighed.
road.
Everyone nodded.
Wen Rensheng has noticed this strange group of visitors.
He listened to a few words and couldn't help but slightly approve.
After all, they are the most savvy group of people. They can fight through thousands of troops and have the courage to travel thousands of miles. They are naturally able to understand many social principles.
In fact, the ancients were also aware of the contradiction between population and land, and tried to reduce population growth. It was indeed an attempt to promote widows to observe festivals.
Unfortunately, with the execution power of feudal society, it was absolutely impossible to control the growth of population.
"I'm afraid this alone is not enough. What should those landless people do?" Liu Xiucai asked again.
"Let's go forward and take a look."
Soon everyone saw a large number of recruitment notices posted on the notice board of the government office.
"Work-for-relief? This is a good idea, but is there so much food?" someone asked doubtfully.
"Yes, the land is fixed, and the food is also fixed. There is not enough for everyone to eat. Could they create magic out of thin air?"
"They didn't target large households. How much could they buy just by buying grain? I know that large households rarely sell too much grain in good years. They just wait to make money in bad years."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, the imperial court also liquidated positions, purchased at a fair price in good years, and sold at a fair price in bad years. It sounds good, right? But they have never done personnel affairs. They
Colluding with big investors, it turns into buying at low prices in good years and selling them at high prices in bad years!”
"Where does their food come from?"
Everyone suddenly became curious.
These people all understand that the core, the key, lies in food!
If there is enough food, all problems can be easily solved. If there is a lack of food, no matter how benevolent and wise the Holy Army is, they will eventually collapse.
Soon they discovered that the food was transported from several warehouses in the mountains of the Demon Sect.
"Oh, it turns out that you are resting on your laurels, and that's not okay!"
"Yes, the land of ten counties can still be maintained. There are 150 counties in Dayan. How long can they persist?"
"In the end, we have to kill, kill hard!"
"I understand, those who surrender early can become knives. They first use their own savings to feed the knives, and then use these knives to kill the people behind them!" Liu Xiucai suddenly said.
"Oh, I see, you are smart. This is the path of the Tatars. The knives of the Tatars are the savages they captured from the deep mountains and old forests, and the objects they killed and robbed of food were us, Dayan.
"
"The crows in the world are as black as the black ones, and the heroes in the world are all ruthless." Liu Xiucai let out a long breath.
Wen Rensheng smiled.
These people see things really clearly.
Indeed, food is the key.
Talents can be made do, and they have been promoted from the previous dynasty. Although there are many disadvantages, they can always be used; food can't be made do.
If there is a lack of one-tenth of the food, half of the people will eventually die, because the one-tenth of the people will not starve to death, but will harm more people, and eventually the order will be chaotic, and no one will be able to cultivate the land and harvest food.
