Chapter 1256 1256: The leader is actually myself (Part 1) [Please vote]
"What good news?"
The current situation can make the Lord say "good news", and its value can be imagined. Qin Li thought about it for a while but couldn't think of what it was, but the Lord deliberately kept it secret, and his eyes told him to guess. But he was not Gu Chi, how could he guess it? In order not to spoil the fun, he could only cooperate with the other party's little hobby.
"Is it possible that Uncle Qian and the other side are making progress again?"
Opening the sluice and releasing the water, the enemy was beaten to the north in a battle. The elite were either lost on the river or scattered in all directions. Qian Yong was as happy as anything at this time, and the energy to show off his power could come out from between the lines of his words. People worry that he will become complacent and eventually capsize. Of course, Qin Li is not worried about this happening. There are also people around Qian Yong watching.
Qian Yong is unreliable, but Ning Yan and the others are always reliable.
"That's not right. Guess again, Gongsu?"
"I'm sorry for being stupid, I really can't guess."
Qin Li chose to lie down and ask for mercy, and directly asked Shen Tang for answers.
Shen Tang said: "There is some movement over at Shanxiao."
Hearing the word Shanxiao, Qin Li, who was Cui Xiao's old friend for many years, was strangely stunned for a moment. He seemed to be searching for the name and the owner of the name in his mind. Until the two matched, Qin Li pressed the button with a headache. On the forehead, the smile was bitter.
"Good filial piety should indeed be good filial piety."
When he made his guess just now, he thought about people, but he didn't think of Cui Xiao. This made Qin Li feel horrified and a little ashamed. It was just the others. He and Cui Xiao have been close friends for many years, and the latter has always been a good friend. I've been there for so long, I really neglected it!
Shen Tang understood the subtlety on Qin Li's face for a moment.
Patting his arm as a comfort, he deliberately lowered his voice and said with a guilty conscience: "Actually, we are just the same. I don't know what Shanxiao did this time. I almost forgot about him. Ahem, when he comes back, we won't let him know. Just..."
Qin Li was puzzled: "Then how could the Lord know..."
Outsiders' perceptions of Choi Hyo are also ranked.
From weakest to strongest, they are: unrelated strangers, nodding acquaintances, subordinates who are more familiar than nodding acquaintances, colleagues with frequent contacts, Qi Shan, a group of close friends and old friends headed by Qin Li, the Lord! Even the Lord, the Lord Everyone subconsciously ignores Cui Xiao, which means that Cui Xiao's sense of existence is almost as weak as air, almost invisible! This has only happened once in many years!
According to Cui Xiao himself, he almost died quietly.
Fortunately, Fu Da Ming recovered and saved his life.
Is it happening again this time?
Shen Tang said: "My incarnation was heard in the Southwest Allied Camp. This news is still confidential and was forcibly suppressed by the Southwest Allies. The Holy Son of the Eternal Life Religion is centered in the Lu Kingdom, with more than 300,000 followers responding. We must punish evil spirits on behalf of Heaven!"
This plan was never hidden from Qin Li from the beginning.
Even though Qin Li was mentally prepared, he was shocked by the speed and scale. How long had it been since the Holy Son of the Eternal Life Religion came forward, and he was able to gather more than 300,000 believers to respond? In other words, Cui Xiao took the piece from the master's hand. How long is the national seal? If we count from that time, will it be a month? In the blink of an eye, thousands of thoughts are intertwined and swimming in Qin Li's mind.
Combining the two events, he vaguely understood something.
"More than 300,000 believers..." Qin Li suppressed the throbbing veins on his forehead. He was also thankful that his uncle and nephew Weicheng had already washed their hands in a golden basin. They had been squatting in the Kangguo territory and imprisoned for these years and did not continue to act as a troublemaker. Otherwise, this would have happened. The numbers will be even bigger!
"I don't think I have much to do with my uncle and nephew."
"How come it doesn't matter?"
Qin Li didn't expect that he would say what was in his heart unconsciously, and he couldn't agree with his master's defense of Wei Cheng's uncle and nephew.
The Eternal Life Sect was founded on a whim by Wei Cheng.
The teachings that confuse people's hearts were perfected by Wei Lou in his spare time.
If the Eternal Life Religion did not exist, how could so many believers respond?
Shen Tang said: "These uncles and nephews are not the 'cause' of everything. Naturally, we cannot blame all the 'effects' on them. Most of the ordinary believers of the Eternal Life Sect join the religion because their lives are so difficult that they cannot escape. Who is it? What caused them to be in a situation where they couldn't live or die? The culprit that caused them to seek spiritual comfort to survive was the 'cause'!"
"It's like the common people can't survive without picking up hoes and revolt, which eventually leads to unrest. But you can't blame the poor land for growing food, you can't blame God for bringing natural disasters, and you can't blame the common people for not working hard enough to open up wasteland! You should blame the local county. Why did the government allow the common people not to have enough farmland? Blame why the fertile farmland became the private property of local gentry. Blame why the government did not store water before the drought. Blame why the government did not build dams to prevent floods before the drought... Don't blame it. You have to do your best to survive. The weak should blame the strong who are capable but do nothing."
"The real culprit deserves to be punished!"
Shen Tang's ideas are completely contrary to the current mainstream. She knows it, but she insists on her own way. After all, she is the ruler of the country, and she is also a ruler with good civil, political and martial arts skills. People who disagree with her ideas must obey her if they want to make a living under her account. of rules.
And her rules are——
When subordinates make mistakes, the superiors reflect; when the land is in chaos, the government reflects. Look for problems more on the capable than on the weak. What is the use of pursuing the weak? The reason why the weak are weak is naturally because they have shortcomings. Let them find the problems. What?
Shen Tang's logic is also impeccable.
The civil and military ministers other than the elders felt that this should not be the case. They studied hard and made great achievements in order to one day reach a high position and become a master. In Kang State, this set of rules was not established, and they had to take care of the people below. Taking the blame.
When their subordinates make mistakes, they reflect on them.
Listen, is there any heavenly principle or law in this?
However, Shen Tang holds military power, and no one dares to say anything.
Qin Li agreed with what the Lord said later, but still disagreed with the judgment that Weicheng's uncle and nephew had little relationship. Even if there were not them, there would be others, but now only their uncle and nephew have taken the lead.
Even if they are not the "cause", they are still two accomplices!
After all, this is a trivial matter that does not involve principles. Qin Li did not argue with his master, but his inner impression of Weicheng's uncle and nephew was deducted by three points! He sighed: "Indeed, if the southwest countries were not mean to others, they would not be so mean. There will be so many people desperate."
The worse the governance, the more people will be desperate.
The more these people there are, the more attractive the Eternal Life Religion will be.
The fertile ground for the expansion of the Eternal Life Religion is also broader.
"More than 300,000 believers are just the ones who have received the news recently. As long as the first batch of believers can gain a firm foothold and find a foothold, believers in the southwest will respond, and then it will be lively." Looking back, Incarnation Wu Bu saw that The expressions on the faces of all the Allied Forces could not stop rising, and the corners of their mouths could not stop rising. It has been scientifically proven that the smile will not disappear, but will only spread from their faces to hers.
Qin Li was also worried.
"No matter how many believers there are, they are just ordinary people. I'm afraid it won't happen. If all countries send troops to suppress it, it will be effective in a short time."
There are very few successful cases of people's uprisings.
Those who come from a lower-class background and have achieved a little success are easily blinded by wealth and wealth, and then indulge in gentleness, indulge in debauchery, become ferocious and cruel, and lose their original intention early on. The essence is what the Lord often said - the dragon slayer will eventually die. Become a dragon!
Of course, his master was an exception.
"Whether it can be suppressed or not is no longer important..."
What's important is that the more civilians respond, the more fields will become barren, making it even more difficult for the Southwest Allies' already stretched supply of food supplies. Before the war started, Shen Tang even made a night attack on one of their granaries to cause mold to sprout, which made matters worse!
Enough for this group of people to drink a pot.
Shen Tang can see clearly, but there are always people who can't see clearly.
These people are not just one person, they are a group!
"Bastard, who is spreading these rumors to sway the morale of the army?"
When the news came that the Eternal Life Cult had stolen their hometown, many leaders of the Allied Forces questioned the authenticity of the news. The people of Lu State were even more furious and stood up. They immediately thought of the culprit Shen Tang.
This news must have come from Kang State!
The intention is very obvious, just to mess with their mentality!
"Check, send someone to find out!"
Unexpectedly, a faint voice came from the corner.
"If the news is false, doesn't it mean that all the vanguard scouts have been bribed and infiltrated? If so, why are you still fighting here?"
The speaker was Gongyang Yongye, who never liked to get involved.
After all, he was a 19th-level Guannei Marquis, and no one dared to act arrogantly in front of him. Even the people in the Lu Kingdom who were burning their butts could bear their anger.
Xiaozhi is based on emotion, and action is based on reason: "Gongyang Chehou Mingjian, what time of year is it now? It has already passed the spring plowing, and it will take some time to harvest. Even if the common people are in trouble, they will wait until after the harvest. How can they be harvested now? Instigated by traitors of the Eternal Life Cult?"
Gongyang Yongye first nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense, and the timing is wrong, but - has the general thought about the possibility that the fields about to be harvested have little to do with them?"
It's not my own field, so I won't feel bad if it's ruined.
The people in Lu State are going crazy with anxiety.
He blurted out: "How can it be irrelevant?"
Gongyang Yongye looked into the other person's eyes with a half-smile but not a smile. There was no sadness or joy in those eyes but an almost indifferent color.
He asked back: "Seriously, it doesn't matter?"
Just five words, when they fell in my ears, they sounded like thunder on the ground.
Many people present were shaken to the point of numbness, and some indescribable guilt and fear spread in their hearts. Even though they only needed to respond with the words "it doesn't matter," some people wanted to open their mouths but found that their words seemed to be being poured into their mouths.
It's filled with lead water and can't open it no matter what.
Gongyang Yongye calmly made another stab.
"I remember many years ago, the southwest was more mountainous and watery than land, and there was not much arable land. It was difficult to cultivate. During the hurricane season, floods were frequent and it was more difficult for crops to survive. Over the past few decades, the situation has eased slightly, but the land that the common people can cultivate has become more and more difficult.
Come less and less.”
To say they are common people is better to say they are hooligans who have no house or land.
In order to survive, one can only work as a tenant to ensure basic survival, while expending energy to cultivate his own land.
Opening up more than ten acres of land may take a family's efforts for a generation, but plundering it only takes a few days and a little thought. How can the speed of land reclamation as a family unit compare to the speed of harvesting by local wealthy families?
The fields have nothing to do with the common people.
The same is true for the products of the land.
Gong Yang Yongye told the truth, but in some people's ears it hurt more than a silver needle baked by candlelight, as if the skin had been torn off and thrown to the ground. If ordinary people said this,
, died eight hundred times early, but the person in front of them could make them die eight hundred times on the spot. They could only swallow all their resentment and resentment, and some even felt heartbroken and deeply aggrieved!
Ask yourself, they are not evil gentry.
He has never driven anyone to a dead end.
Isn't it natural for them to lease the fields under their name to farmers and extract a certain percentage of the agricultural output? How can there be land that is free for others to cultivate? This part is rent! As for how much tax they pay and how much food is left, what does this have to do with them?
Dry?
Can’t afford to live?
It’s time to reflect on whether you are lazy or not working hard enough!
How much effort you put in will pay off.
A three-year-old child knows the truth, but the unruly people don’t?
Gongyang Yongye saw this and said no more.
Whether or not the followers of the Eternal Life Religion rebelled has anything to do with others, it has nothing to do with him anyway. Who would be willing to rebel if these bastards didn't leave a way for people to survive?
Luo Yuan looked at everyone's faces and was silent.
As mentioned before, many high-level followers of the Eternal Life Sect are from local wealthy families. They did not join the religion because they believed in the doctrine, but simply because they could more easily manage the "believers" under their rule after joining the religion. They found that managing this group of believers was easier than fooling the common people.
Tenant believers have to pay more than just autumn and summer taxes on rent?
As a believer, you still have to pay offerings.
Naturally, these profits did not fall into the hands of the leader of the Eternal Life Sect, and were all taken away by the so-called offerings in various places with clever names. These offerings took off their fake skins, but inside they were still the same people. Under pressure, even in good years, there was no food left.
Do these people really don’t know?
Or do you know it, but don’t take it seriously?
As long as you're alive and don't starve to death, you don't have to worry?
Regardless of whether the news is true or false, the culprit is either the Eternal Life Cult or Shen Youli! In short, it cannot be any of them.
Qi Cang didn't come because he was fishing, so he received the news late.
He clicked his tongue: "This day repeats itself year after year, every year. How come it doesn't happen sooner or later, and now it suddenly changes?"
He didn't believe that there was no handwriting from Kang Guo in this.
Shen Wuyoutang first glanced at his empty fish basket and replied casually: "Maybe no one told them that they were standing on the edge of the cliff before, right? Someone shouted, and they all saw the situation. If they took a step back, It’s really shattering.”
No matter what happens, how can you be afraid of wearing shoes if you are barefoot?
Qi Cang said: "This person has no moral character."
"Immoral?"
Qi Cang looked at her meaningfully and sneered: "How can you not be immoral? The main forces of the Allied Forces from the southwest countries have been dragged here. How many people can be mobilized to suppress the rebellion in the country? The rebellion cannot be suppressed quickly, and the fields are barren and unharvested. This year, I don’t know how many people will starve to death. I don’t know if the people behind it can bear so much karma.”
As everyone knows, Qi Cang's worries are also the worries of the Holy Son.
She was worried before the actual incident.
[If it fails, millions of people will be killed by then!]
She also felt uneasy when she thought that so many people would be indirectly killed because of her. These believers continued to be in a state of confusion and managed to survive. What if they were sober and really died later?
[His Royal Highness the Holy Son does not need to hesitate, just follow the footsteps of the true God.] Cui Xiao said quietly, [God will send down the rain.]
Do you still want to postpone this battle until winter?

Unbounded and Xia Ke are really great inventions. They just spawned anniversary pendants.
PS: (Last week, I hung up and refreshed the game more than 60 times, but it didn’t come out. Today I was idle and bored while hanging up and reading fanfics. I can only say that some old people don’t love it too much.)
PPS: The hellish joke in the previous chapter is that neither Zhai Le, who proposed it, nor Tang Mei, who agreed, had any intention of completely keeping their promise. It is equivalent to acknowledging that we will imitate Emperor Guangwu in the first half, without doubt, and in the second half, Sima Yi will stab everyone in the back, each with their own merits. ability.
