In fact, no matter in any era, ordinary people must be the most patient and able to survive in any harsh conditions.
As long as there is still a slight chance of survival, the people's thoughts must be to live submissively.
Many times, even when facing a certain death situation, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the courage to resist. This shows how terrible the Liu family has caused to the people of Heyang in these more than ten days.
Psychological stress.
Of course, the main reason for the formation of this kind of psychological pressure is the gap formed compared with the previous life.
In fact, to be strictly speaking, Liu's exploitation of Heyang was indeed a bit excessive, but it was only more than twice as serious as the level of exploitation in other places.
If you endure this kind of life for a while, it is not really impossible to survive.
But the problem is that in the past few months, Heyang City was transformed by Jiang Fan and no longer looked like a city of this era.
The people of Heyang are also accustomed to a more independent and promising lifestyle.
As Jiang Fan said, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. At this time, even just letting the people of Heyang return to their original life is enough to make them feel that they can no longer live, let alone
A day that is worse and more desperate than the original life.
Therefore, almost everyone in the large Heyang City felt extremely dissatisfied.
This emotion, under the current chaotic situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was amplified without limit. With Jiang Fan's secret fueling, it quickly evolved into what it is now.
Now that the emperor is under house arrest and the once-mighty King Wu is dead, and now almost every family in the country is self-reliant, then why... they can't do it in Heyang?
Even if there are no aristocratic families in Heyang City, there is Jiang Chengwei!
If the whole of Heyang was put together, wouldn't it be as powerful as those powerful families?
Many times, for something to happen, what is actually needed is not soil, because soil is always there. What is really lacking are seeds that can thrive in the soil.
But now, Jiang Fan has planted this seed, and with a lot of fertilization, this seed has almost grown into a towering tree overnight in the hearts of all the people in Heyang!
"Please Sir Jiang, for the sake of the people of Heyang, stand up for yourself!"
As soon as the old man said the words, Sun Youfu stood up and repeated it excitedly.
His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, both out of excitement and fear.
Thirty years into his life, this is the most courageous moment for Sun Youfu.
Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows, then sighed, raised his hand and motioned for them to sit down.
He shook his head and said: "To be honest, I understand very well what the Liu family has done these days, but I am powerless. After the Liu family completely controls Heyang, I have to decide whether I can continue to live, so even now
I still have the title of Dai Cheng Shou on my head, and the people of the Liu family will not take me seriously at all."
"But even so, it is still too exaggerated to talk about rebelling. After all, Heyang is just a city. Although the chaos in the Zhou Dynasty has become chaos, it can be foreseen that it will not take too long for this world to be transformed.
It will become a chaotic situation, but it is still not easy to protect yourself in this situation."
Having said this, Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and waved his hand to stop the two old men from speaking.
He continued: "You must understand that no matter how much the Liu family oppresses you, they will at least ensure that you can live for a while. Because the reason is very simple, only living people can provide them with taxes. Therefore, under Liu's rule
You may have a very difficult life, but most people will survive after all."
"However, if you choose to rebel, you are really standing on the opposite side of the Liu family. If you succeed, everyone will be happy, but if you fail, you will be doomed! Even if you want to survive, it is no longer possible. These are two completely different concepts.
.”
The two old men looked at each other, and the old man who spoke first stood up again and said seriously: "Mr. Jiang, I heard that you wrote a poem in vernacular not long ago. Old man, I haven't read the book, but the first two words
It’s a sentence, but I remember it clearly.”
"Some people are alive, but he is already dead, and some people are dead, but he is still alive! The old man's understanding is that if you survive under Liu's oppression, then even if you are alive, it is no different from being dead.
And if you fight for yourself, even if you die, you can still live in the hearts of those who come after you!"
"Mr. Jiang, we all know very well that in rebellion, if you tuck your head in your waistband, someone will definitely die! But compared to now, even if we die, we should at least die as one person! It's better than being treated like a fool.
It’s better to live like an animal!”
Speaking of which, Jiang Fan would naturally not persuade him again.
What he wanted before was to give the people of Heyang a choice.
Although he has been secretly adding fuel to the flames, trying to coerce the whole of Heyang to embark on the sunny road full of dreams of 'rebellion'.
But Jiang Fan still couldn't be truly ruthless.
So he didn't want the people of Heyang to have no choice.
If the people of Heyang choose to survive under the premise of what he said very clearly, then he will take everyone in the Lin family to turn into bandits and take revenge.
However, if the people of Heyang, under his encouragement and brainwashing, are determined to surround him in rebellion, he will not refuse regardless of emotion or reason.
It sounds a bit hypocritical, but for Jiang Fan, he wants more peace of mind.
In the final analysis, he has not really gotten used to being a leader yet.
It is impossible to despise life with peace of mind.
Looking at the two old people in front of him, Su Meiniang and Sun Youfu, Jiang Fan took a deep breath and said: "Actually, a few days ago, Mr. Qian came to talk to me about a similar issue, but my idea at that time was very simple. If it was
For the sake of the people of Heyang, I am willing to do it. But if it is for the so-called ambition, there is no need to let the people suffer."
"Although I haven't been in Heyang for a long time, it's only half a year. But I have put a lot of effort into Heyang. All the changes in Heyang in the past six months are basically by my own hands, so I don't want to
Seeing Heyang being destroyed by outsiders."
"Since these people represent the people and all walks of life in Heyang, and hope that I can stand up and continue to lead Heyang on a truly unique path, then I really can't refuse, this matter... I agreed
