It was a rare sunny day, and under the sky, spring was coming to all things. Because it rained last night, the air was refreshing. Ye Qing was visiting the garden at this time, when he suddenly felt a tremor, feeling a sense of refreshment from the depths of his soul.
After coming back to his senses, he took a deep breath and breathed it out after a long time. He saw wisps of white energy pouring in, which was quickly absorbed by himself, and his overall luck increased.
Just do the math and you'll have a good idea.
"Ten thousand acres of fields, the first harvest... It is natural that the luck belongs to me, but there are so many ten thousand acres? If it were so easy to gather the luck, all the counties and families have more than ten thousand acres, and they have cultivated their children for many years. In my generation,
Isn’t it true that a poor family has no future?”
Ye Qing walked on the small bridge and looked at the flowing water on the small bridge. After a long time, he came to a clear understanding: "For thousands of years, the County Wang family has had a lot of luck, but also a heavy burden. The clan members have harvested, collected, and then
A matter of distribution."
"So how much is the actual implementation? How can it be compared to me, the owner of the business, who has very few burdens and great sovereignty, which is not only enough for my own use, but also can be used as a benefactor."
"At the founding of each dynasty, the total population and economy were only 20-30% of the late empire, but in terms of luck, they were far superior. This is proof."
"Keeping a business is doing things, starting a business is doing things, and the same effort is needed. The former is very restrictive and gets twice the result with half the effort, while the latter is unique and the painting on a blank paper is far from enough to describe..."
"This luck is no longer floating luck. With this, I will reach the first level of black virtue today." Ye Qing thought of this, but no longer hesitated.
The most important thing in the Five Emperors' Taoist Sutra is luck. Ye Qing also had luck in the past, but he never succeeded in cultivating it. It was a little thin and could not be penetrated. Later I realized that this was because Ye Qing's luck was floating and had no foundation.
Now the conditions are met.
He rushed to the secret room in the courtyard, closed the door, adjusted his sitting posture, and as soon as he fell into concentration and performed Taoism, Ye Qing felt a feeling emerge.
"It must be Black De's tribulation energy." Ye Qing's eyes changed, and he saw a dark cloud appearing in the sea. At first, it was only as big as a palm, but it spread instantly and turned into a billowing black cloud. This black cloud was not Black De, but it was
Gray and black calamity.
"The superior person in this world is truly the wisest I have ever seen." Ye Qing thought.
Each dynasty descended by virtue of the five virtues, with merits and demerits. The so-called dragon qi is majestic and majestic, ruling the earth, but its essence is hidden deep in life and death. There are millions of corpses. Which dynasty does not start with killing, and which dynasty has the essence
Not repression?
Under the Blue and Purple Throne, there are countless corpses.
Virtue and fault are essentially one, and cannot be said to be opposites, but the Five Emperors are ingenious. According to the different teachings and levels taught, the test is to reduce the tribulation energy transformed by different equal parts of sins.
The reason is also fair and square. Since you have entered the path of the Five Virtues and enjoyed the treatment of the Five Virtues, you must bear the fault of the Five Virtues.
If the cultivator can kill, bear, and purify this sin, then he can pass the test and achieve the power of the five virtues. But in this way, the Five Emperors will also have less sin.
The emperor's position is entangled with fate and destiny, but the five emperors can still sit comfortably and not fall. Part of it depends on this "test"
"Come on," Ye Qing responded. The next moment, there was only a roar and a bolt of lightning flashed across. The entire sea of consciousness was dark and cloudy, but it moved to a certain place.
"Your Majesty, now chaos has gathered, and there are thieves fanning the flames. The situation is critical, Your Majesty, please make a decision." Ye Qing turned around faintly, and there was a gloomy aura, and a voice said at this moment.
"Well, you go on and tell each situation again." Ye Qing remained calm as he looked around and saw that he was in a fortress. It must have been a long time and the battlements were somewhat dilapidated.
The man who spoke was a man of about fifty years old. He was thin and thin. He was dressed in clothes that had been washed white. He only had a pair of small eyes that were shrewd and shrewd. He seemed to be a housekeeper. He responded: "
yes"
He continued to talk about various situations.
The sky outside the window is tightly covered with dark clouds, withered trees swaying in the cold wind, and further away, there are layers of fog filling the air.
Suddenly, lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the trembling crowd below, followed by a muffled thunder and rain falling...
Ye Qing looked at the rain and people outside the window indifferently, but he understood clearly.
"The nature of the five virtues is transformed by the calamity energy. This is a scene. It is the same technology as the space where Longsun is. It must be a test of basic virtues."
"This is Yejiawu Fort. There are 500 tribesmen and more than 2,000 dependents. They are all suffering from hunger and cold. But at this time, there is a great disaster. The refugees have nowhere to eat. There are also sporadic fires sprouting and surrounding the Wubao."
Thinking of this, feeling the body, and realizing that the martial arts is still there, I couldn't help but understand it in my heart.
The essence of the so-called Five Virtues is order and rule. This scene shows how to solve this dilemma. You can kill it alone, organize an army to suppress it, or show mercy in a royal way.
I'm afraid that the results of the means are different, and the Qi of the Five Virtues produced is also different, which is very mysterious. Seeing that the butler wanted to talk, he waved his hand: "You don't have to say anything."
"How many soldiers do we have at Yejiawu Fort?"
"We usually patrol about 30 people armed with knives, but more than 100 people were temporarily pulled out, for a total of 150 people."
"Where's the food?"
"Store one thousand two hundred stones of food."
One thousand two hundred stones can only feed four thousand people for one month. Even if they only drink porridge to sustain their lives, it can only last two months. Ye Qing calculated carefully before letting out a breath: "Spring is coming, what about the winter wheat?"
Sample?"
"The nearby wheat fields are relatively undamaged, but I'm just afraid that they will be destroyed if they are attacked by the refugees."
Ye Qing looked at this man's pale face, but waved his hand impatiently: "If we harvest normally, how much food will we get?"
"Seven thousand dan of coarse grain."
Ye Qing calmed down after hearing this, walked a few steps, and said calmly: "You are too restless, this is not a big deal."
The housekeeper was suddenly startled and looked at the young family master, wondering where these words came from.
Ye Qing smiled hoarsely and said: "Whether it is difficult or not depends on the situation, the means, and the courage."
At this point, his voice was raised a little, and it was as cold as ice: "You immediately summon my Ye family soldiers, ten people per fire, five fires and one armor. My Ye family army will become an independent armor. I will personally lead the team and serve as the commander of the armor. The fire commander will be the patrol commander."
Soldiers are in charge."
"There are also twenty-five patrols and fifty tribesmen. The fire chief is the original patrolman, and the corps commander below is the tribesman. This has a five-armed establishment.
"The spring rain is very cold now, and the dependents outside are afraid of being hungry and cold. I can guarantee that if it is not solved, within a few days, there will be problems internally, not to mention the refugees and bandits outside."
"But this is easy to solve." Ye Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Without further ado, we will recruit troops overnight, 250 troops, and select the youngest and strongest among the 2,000 people outside. I
What should I use to light the fire?"
Ye Qing continued with a stern tone: "Also, the family members of the soldiers came into our inner room to warm themselves by the fire, give them porridge, and give them quilts to isolate the inside and outside."
When the housekeeper heard this, he was stunned for a moment and stared at Ye Qing as if he didn't recognize him. He had been a housekeeper for decades and had taken care of countless people. When he heard this, he suddenly understood.
There were about 600 households with 2,000 people, and the 250 youngest and strongest households were selected, and the 2,000 people outside were immediately divided.
The family members of these 250 households were placed in the inner fort. This was of course a grace and they were protected from hunger and cold, but in fact they became hostages. The corps commander and fire chief were both served by the Ye family. When the two cooperated, the military power was
Firmly under control.
Ye Qing has a deeper intention. The so-called kindness is spread all over the world, which is far away from everyone. In this situation, relying only on the clan members and rejecting those who rely on him is a fool.
The mediocre master must be a benevolent master, welcoming all the outsiders in, but he doesn't think about how long these 1,200 stones can last for 3,000 people at the same time.
Moreover, if the leader is weak and the ministers are strong, can these two thousand people return home in an instant? Normally, that's all. But what if the people outside attack the fortress without food, and there are internal and external pressures, and someone responds to fan the flames?
It was immediately a situation of destruction.
Ye Qing thought carefully and then smiled: "Of course, since you have taken refuge with us, there cannot be too much difference. This is called Inner Liujia, and we will make it outer Liujia."
"The refugee situation is huge, and there are thieves in charge. We cannot just sit back and watch the conspiracy. The Twelve Armored Forces inside and outside cooperate to attack, and I will personally lead them to suppress them."
"Pass my order to kill the thieves who are young and strong to the first level, and their family members can enter the inner fort."
"For those who died on the spot, their family members can enter the inner fort. I will take care of my wife."
"Although the thief is cruel, his wife, daughter, and children are innocent. Please pass on my order. Anyone who kills the thief's wife, daughter, and children will be beheaded."
After Ye Qing finished speaking, the study fell into silence. He could only hear the sound of rain, thunder and wind, and the sky was gloomy. The butler was convinced and said: "The Lord said it is true, I will go and do it immediately."
Ye Qing watched this person go away and then smiled.
The key to this scene is food. It can be said that if there is enough food, there is no need for soldiers or generals. Just raise your arms, open warehouses and release food, and all the people will take refuge, and the rebels will be defeated immediately.
But there is not so much food, and the warehouse can only accommodate 3,000 people for one and a half months. If we simply defend the fort and the mobs collude and destroy the crops, no one will survive.
But if someone is benevolent and wants to recruit all the refugees from outside, it is just mediocre - can they produce food? Even fishing and hunting will be a drop in the bucket.
When there was no more food, someone called: "The Ye family must have food, kill them."
What to do, wait to die?
All in all, there is not enough food and too many people.
Ye Qing organized the inner and outer Liujia and immediately raised troops. Not only to protect the wheat fields and not allow the refugees to join forces, but to defeat them one by one, the main purpose was to consume the population.
Therefore, they did not recruit soldiers directly and judged their merits based on their heads, but after suppressing them, they allowed the thieves to surrender.
After quelling the rebels and unifying the surrounding areas, Ye Qing estimated that with the combination of suppression and sacrifice, the original five thousand men would be reduced to about two thousand. This remaining number would be enough to open up summer farming after peace.
As for the women and children, there were about 5,000 of them together with the about 1,000 people protected in the fort. It seemed like a lot of people, but they were not involved in heavy farm work, just helping with laundry, cooking, and sweeping the floor.
An adult man can survive on one-fifth of the food (porridge) he eats every day. As long as he waits until the summer harvest, the situation will improve, and if he waits until the autumn harvest, he can completely overcome the difficulty.
After a few years, the child will grow up and regain its strength.
Naturally, these calculations cannot be told to outsiders, but it is not a great merit to let the family members of the soldiers into the house, reward them according to their merits, provide compensation to the families of those who died in the war, and show kindness to the families of the thieves.
Just as I was thinking about it, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a thunder and heavy rain pouring down.
