Mystery Makes Me Strong

zero county.

It is located in a dangerous place in the southwest of Dayan.

But if this danger is for ordinary soldiers, it is just a higher hillside in front of martial arts masters.

Still uninjured Kaicheng.

And it corresponds to Xiawang, a group of scholars who came from Jiangnan are visiting.

Among the literati, there are quite a lot of people who travel thousands of miles, such as this group of people.

"Look at the day when the holy army opened the city, they will not massacre the city, take captivity, or commit adultery. This is quite different from what Li Wencai said. According to him, it is necessary to kill all kinds of people, and kill ten rooms and nine empty spaces before they can Solve the conflict between man and earth." An old Juren asked doubtfully.

"Today's Holy Army is just a group of demon cult members. If you don't read the sage books, you can't see the truth." Another scholar sighed.

"Hmph, on the contrary, they have read too many sage books. They have been deceived by the benevolence, righteousness and morality that the sages said, thinking that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and they don't even know how to solve the most difficult things in the world. It is exactly the opposite of benevolence and morality: kill, kill, kill, kill!" Another scholar said through gritted teeth.

His tone was full of anger that he was cheated.

He thought that by studying the books of sages and sages, the Four Books, the Five Classics, the Book of Songs, the Spring and Autumn Annals, and the Book of History, he would be able to assist the king and rejuvenate the Great Yan if he cultivated his virtues, benevolent and righteous, and loved the people... In fact, it was all false, all false. Incorrect!

What can really solve the problem is the knife in the hands of the barbarian he despises the most!

After killing all the people and freeing up the land, hey, all these problems will be gone!

The world is peaceful again, and there will be another hundred years of prosperity!

"Everything in ancient and modern times is killing people."

"Killing one is a crime, killing ten thousand is a virtue!"

"Thousands of thousands have been killed, and the year of peace will come again!"

The scholar groaned in grief and indignation.

"This, this, Brother Liu, you are crazy, you are dying, dare to say this?" Another scholar quickly grabbed his hand.

"What are you afraid of? This is Xiawang. I'm wearing a mask."

"You wear a mask, but beware of villains around you."

"oh."

The grief-stricken Liu Xiucai immediately faltered, fully showing the demeanor of a keyboard knight, walked to the side in despair, pretending to be looking at groceries, as if the person who recited poems was not him.

A group of people continued to walk in the city.

They quickly saw the difference.

Several old women who looked like matchmakers were walking from house to house with baskets in their hands.

"What's in your basket?" Liu Xiucai asked.

The old lady didn't answer as if she didn't see them.

"Hey, Brother Liu, why are you still not familiar with this Shenwang? These old people seem to be working in reality, and they are not idlers who have dreamed of Shenwang. Of course, it is impossible to talk to you." Someone laughed.

"No, no, there is another way, that is, someone who is proficient in the Divine Net can transmit words to their ears in reality through the Divine Net, and they will be able to reply." You said humanely.

"So that's the case, my little brother is ignorant and ignorant." Liu Xiucai bowed and said, not at all cynical like just now.

At this time, an idle man came over: "Hey, you gentlemen, do you want to know what is in here?"

"Think about it, brother, do you know?" Liu Xiucai hurriedly asked.

Ordinary idlers would not dare to provoke a team of talented scholars rashly, this person must be unusual.

"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 it is embarrassing, you don't have to say it."

"Yes." Liu Xiucai replied directly.

Then the idle man asked them five questions, all about their location.

The latest prices, the number of household registrations, whether there are riots, etc...

"Then I'll tell you, the inside is tanned sheep intestines, hehe." The idle man showed a wretched smile.

"So that's how it is." The old man suddenly said.

Others were also thoughtful.

Only Liu Xiucai is still ignorant: "What do you all understand?"

"It's a good thing." The old Juren sighed, "There is nothing to explain. The sheep intestines have the same effect as those fertility drugs, but it is not easy for the poor to get them."

"However, having more children means more blessings, and more children will work harder. How could they take the initiative to avoid pregnancy?" Liu Xiucai asked puzzled.

"You are wrong. The poor also know that they can't afford to have too many children, and many of them will drown when they are born. Since they know that they will drown, why do they give birth? It's not because of ignorance and ignorance, they are greedy for that, and they don't know how to avoid it. Fetus?" The old man shook his head and said.

"So that's the case. It seems that there are capable people in the Holy Army today. They are indeed merciful. If you can't afford it, you don't have to give birth. Do what you can." Liu Xiucai nodded.

"Actually, the imperial court also knew that at the beginning of the founding of the country, they encouraged childbearing and advocated widows to remarry; they stopped mentioning it in the prosperous age, and advocated widows to keep their chastity, which is nothing more than reducing the population. How can the imperial court control the people?" the old man sighed. road.

Everyone nodded.

Wen Rensheng had already noticed this strange group of visitors.

After hearing a few words, he couldn't help slightly approving.

After all, they are the most shrewd group of people who can survive thousands of troops and have the courage to travel thousands of miles. Naturally, they can understand many social truths at one point.

In fact, the ancients were also aware of the contradiction between population and land, and tried to reduce population growth. It is indeed an attempt to promote widows to observe festivals.

Reluctantly, with the executive power of the feudal society, it is absolutely impossible to control the growth of the population.

"I'm afraid this is not enough. What about those who have no land?" Liu Xiucai asked again.

"Let's go ahead and see."

Soon everyone saw a large number of recruitment notices posted on the notice board of the government office.

"Relief from work? This is a good way, but is there so much food?" Someone asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the land is fixed, and the food is also fixed. There is not enough for everyone to eat. Could it be that they can create magic out of nothing?"

"They didn't hit big households either. How much can they buy just by buying grain? I know that big households seldom sell too much grain in good years, and they wait for disaster years to make money."

"Yeah, the imperial court has also done liquidation of quasi-positions, buying at a fair price in a good year, and selling at a fair price in a bad year; sounds good, right? But they have never done personnel affairs. They colluded with big households to make low-priced purchases in a good year, and low-priced purchases in a bad year. Sell ​​it at a high price!"

"Where does their food come from?"

Everyone suddenly became curious.

These people all understand that the core of the core, the key, lies in the food!

With enough food, all problems can be easily solved. There is a shortage of food, no matter how benevolent and wise the Holy Army is today, it will eventually collapse.

Soon they discovered that the food was shipped from several warehouses in the mountains of the Demon Cult.

"Oh, it turns out that I'm living on my laurels, that's not okay!"

"That's right, the land of ten counties can still be maintained. Dayan has 150 counties. How long can they last?"

"In the end, I still have to kill, big kill, special kill!"

"I understand, if you seek refuge early, you can become a knife. They first used their savings to feed the knife, and then took these knives to kill the people behind!" Liu Xiucai said suddenly.

"Oh, that's it, you are smart, this is the way of the Tartars. The knives of the Tartars are the savages they captured from the deep mountains and old forests, and the targets they slash and kill and rob food are our Dayan. "

"The world is as black as crows, and the world's heroes are all ruthless." Liu Xiucai let out a long breath.

Wen Rensheng laughed.

These people can see clearly.

Indeed, food is the key.

Talents can still make do, promoted from the previous dynasty, although there are many disadvantages, they can always make do with it; food can't make do with it.

If one-tenth of the food is lacking, half of the people will die in the end, because the one-tenth of the people will not starve to death, but will harm more people. In the end, the order will be chaotic, and everyone will not be able to farm and harvest food. Starve to death together.
