Chapter 1256 1256: The leader is actually myself (Part 1) [Please vote]
“What good news?”
The current situation can make even the leader say “good news” , its value can be imagined. Qin Li thought about it for a while but couldn't figure out what it was. However, the master deliberately kept it secret and told him to guess. But he was not Gu Chi, how could he guess it? Just to avoid being disappointed, he could only cooperate with the other person's little hobby.
"Is it possible that Uncle Qian and the other side are making progress again?"
Open the floodgates and release the water. In the first battle, the enemy was unable to find the north. Either the elite were lost on the river, or they were killed. They were running away in all directions. Qian Yong is as cheerful as anything these days, and the energy to show off his power can flow out from between the lines, making people worry that he will become proud and complacent, and eventually capsize in the gutter. Of course, Qin Li is not worried about this scene happening. There are people watching Qian Yong.
Qian Yong is unreliable, but Ning Yan and the others are always reliable.
"That's not right. Guess again, Gong Su?"
"Excuse me for being stupid, I really can't guess."
Qin Li chose to lie down and beg for mercy, and went directly to Shen Tang wants 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, as if he was searching for this name and its owner in his mind. When the two met, Qin Li pressed his forehead with a headache, and smiled bitterly.
"Good filial piety, it should indeed be good filial piety."
When he guessed just now, he thought about people, but he didn't think of Cui Xiao, which made Qin Li feel even more horrified. Yu was also a little ashamed. That's all about the others. He and Cui Xiao have been close friends for many years. He has really ignored the latter since he has been gone for so long!
Shen Tang understood the subtlety on Qin Li's face for a moment.
Patted his arm as comfort, and deliberately lowered his voice with a guilty conscience: "Actually, we are evenly matched. I don't know what Shanxiao did this time. I almost forgot about him. Ahem, wait until he comes back. , we just don’t let him know..."
Qin Li was puzzled: "Then how could the Lord know..."
Outsiders' perceptions of Cui Xiao are also ranked.
From weakest to strongest, they are: unrelated strangers, nodding acquaintances, subordinates who are more familiar than nodding acquaintances, colleagues with frequent dealings, praying for good deeds, a group of close friends and old friends headed by Qin Li, Lord! Even the Lord subconsciously ignored Cui Xiao, which meant that Cui Xiao's sense of existence was almost as weak as air, almost invisible! Only happened once in 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 on the Lu Kingdom. Thirty Tens of thousands of believers responded to punish the evil spirits for heaven!”
This plan was not hidden from Qin Li from the beginning.
Even though Qin Li was mentally prepared, he was shocked by the speed and scale. How long has it been since the Holy Son of the Eternal Life Religion came forward to gather more than 300,000 followers to respond? In other words, how long has it been since Cui Xiao took the national seal from his master? If we start counting from that time, does it count as one month? In the flash of lightning, thousands of thoughts were 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 glad 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 stir-up. Otherwise, this would have happened. The numbers will be even bigger!
“I don’t think it has much to do with my uncle and nephew.”
“How could it not have much to do with me?”
Qin Li didn’t expect that he would say what was in his heart unconsciously. After hearing the Lord's defense of Weicheng's uncle and nephew, he couldn't agree with it.
The Eternal Life Sect was established on a whim by Weicheng.
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 uncle and nephew 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. , and who caused them to seek life but not death? The situation where they can't survive is the 'cause' that causes them to seek spiritual comfort! Blame the poor soil If there is no food, you cannot blame God for causing natural disasters, and you cannot blame the common people for not working hard enough to open up wasteland! You should blame the local county government for not having enough farmland for the common people, blame the fertile farmland for becoming the private property of the local gentry, and blame the government for not working hard enough before the drought. Don't save Water, blame why no dams were built to prevent floods before droughts and floods... Less blame on the weak who try their best to survive, and more blame on the strong who have the ability but do nothing."
"The real culprit should be. Give me a sin!”
Shen Tang's ideas are completely contrary to the current mainstream, she knows, but she insists on having her own way. After all, she is the ruler of the country, and she is also a ruler who is good at civil and military skills. Those who disagree with her ideas must abide by her rules if they want to make a living under her account.
And her rules are -
When subordinates make mistakes, their superiors will reflect on them; when the land is in chaos, the government will reflect on it. Find problems more often on the capable than on the weak. What’s the use? The reason why the weak are weak is naturally because they have their own shortcomings. What can they find out if they are asked to find problems?
Shen Tang’s logic is also impeccable.
The civil and military ministers other than the elders feel that this should not be the case. They study hard and make contributions in order to one day be able to hold a high position and become a master. In Kang State, even if this set of rules is not established, they still have to take the blame for the people below.
When their subordinates make mistakes, they reflect on them.
Listen, is there any law of heaven 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 weren't their uncles and nephews, there would be others, but now only their uncles and nephews are showing up.
Even if they are not the "cause", they are still two accomplices!
After all, this was a trivial matter that did not involve principles. Qin Li did not argue with his master, but his inner impression of Weicheng's uncle and nephew was deducted by another three points! He sighed: "Indeed, if the countries in the southwest were not so mean, there would not 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.
“The more than three hundred thousand 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, the believers in the southwest will respond, and then it will be lively. "Recalling the expressions of all the allies that Avatar Wu had seen, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising. It's scientifically proven that smiles don't disappear, they just move from their faces to hers.
Qin Li was also worried.
"No matter how many believers there are, they are still ordinary people. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to become a phenomenon. Countries send troops to suppress it, and it will be effective in a short time."
There are very few successful cases of common people's uprisings.
Being from a lower-class background, if you have achieved a little success, you will easily be blinded by wealth and wealth, and then enjoy indulgence in a gentle country, be debauched, ferocious and cruel, and lose your original intention of gaining a foothold early. The essence of what the Lord often said is - the dragon slayer will eventually become the evil dragon!
Of course, his master is an exception.
"It is no longer important whether it can be suppressed..."
What is important is that the more common people respond, the more fields will be barren, and the already stretched supply of logistics and food lines for the Southwest Allied Forces will become more difficult. Shen Tang is starting the war Previously, a night attack caused mold to sprout in one of their granaries, 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 cannot see clearly. These people are not one person, they are a group!
“Asshole, who is spreading these rumors to shake 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, and the people of Lu State were even more furious and stood up arrogantly. He immediately thought of the culprit Shen Tang.
This news must have come from Kang Guo!
The intention is very obvious, just to mess with their mentality!
“Check, send someone to find out!”
Unexpectedly, a voice came from the corner.
"If the news is false, doesn't it mean that all the vanguard scouts have been bribed and infiltrated? So, why are you still fighting here?"
The speaker is a fair man who always doesn't like to get involved. Yang Yongye.
After all, he is a 19th-level Guannei Marquis, and no one dares to act arrogantly in front of him. Even the people in the Lu Kingdom who were burning their butts have endured their anger.
The dawn is based on emotion, and the movement 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 chaos, they will not wait until after the harvest. , how could he be instigated by the traitors of the Eternal Life Cult now?”
Gongyang Yongye first nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense, and the timing is wrong, but - has the general ever considered 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.
Blurted out: "How can it be irrelevant?"
Gong Yang 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, but when they fell in his ears, they were 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 need to respond with three words: "It doesn't matter," some people want to open their mouths but find that their tongues seem to have been filled with lead water and they can't open their mouths no matter what.
Gongyang Yongye calmly made another stab.
“I remember many years ago, the southwest was more mountainous and watery than land. There was not much arable land and it was difficult to cultivate. During the hurricane season, flooding was frequent and it was more difficult for crops to survive. Over the past few decades, the situation has eased slightly, but There is less and less land for ordinary people to cultivate. ”
To say they are common people is better to say they are hooligans who have no house or land.
In order to survive, you can only work as a tenant to ensure basic survival, while spending energy to cultivate your own land.
Creating more than a dozen acres of land may cost a family 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 when it fell on some people's ears, it hurt more than the prick of a silver needle baked by candlelight, as if the skin had been torn off and thrown to the ground for a few steps. If ordinary people said this, they would die eight hundred times earlier, but the person in front of them could make them die eight hundred times on the spot. They could only swallow all the resentment and resentment in their stomachs, and some even felt heartbroken and deeply aggrieved!
Ask yourself, they are not evil gentry.
It 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 any land in the world that is free for others to cultivate? This part is the rent! As for how much tax they pay and how much food they have left over, what does this have to do with them?
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 bring you the rewards.
Every three-year-old child knows this truth, but the unruly people don’t?
Seeing this, Gongyang Yongye said no more.
The rebellion of the followers of the Eternal Life Cult does not matter whether it has anything to do with others or not. It has nothing to do with him anyway. If this bunch of bullshit didn't leave a way for people to survive, who would be willing to rebel?
Luo Yuan looked at everyone's faces and was silent.
As mentioned before, many high-level believers of the Eternal Life Sect are from local wealthy families. They did not join the religion because they believed in the doctrine. They simply joined the religion so that they could more easily manage the "believers" under their rule. They found that managing this group of believers was easier than fooling the common people.
Do tenant believers have to pay more than just autumn and summer taxes and rent?
As a believer, you still have to pay tribute.
These profits naturally fell into the hands of the leader of the Eternal Life Religion, and were all taken away by the so-called worshipers in various places. These worshipers take off their fake skin, but underneath they are still the same people. After layers of pressure, even in good years, there is no food ration left.
Do these people really don’t know?
Still know, but don’t take it seriously?
As long as you are alive and not starving to death, you don’t have to worry?
Whether the news is true or false, the culprit is either the Eternal Life Sect or Shen Youli! Anyway, it won't be any of them.
Qi Cang didn’t come because he was fishing, so he received the news late.
He smacked his tongue: "This day repeats itself year after year. How come it didn't happen sooner or later, and now it suddenly turns against me?"
He didn't believe that there was no handwriting from Kang Guo in this.
Shen Wu You Tang 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 you take a step back, you will be completely shattered."
You are going to die anyway, how can you be afraid of wearing shoes when you are barefoot?
Qi Cang said: "This person has no moral character."
"Is it immoral?"
Qi Cang looked at her meaningfully and sneered: "How can it not be immoral? The main forces of the allied forces of the southwest countries have been dragged here. How many people can be mobilized to quell the rebellion in the country? We can't do it quickly. To suppress the rebellion, the fields are left unharvested, and I don’t know how many people will starve to death this year. I don’t know if the people behind it can bear it.”
As everyone knows, Qi Cang’s worries are also the worries of the 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 continue to be in a state of confusion and are somehow able to survive. What if they wake up and really die?
[His Royal Highness the Son of God 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 the winter?

PS: (Last week I hung up and refreshed the game more than 60 times, but I 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: Previous Zhang's hellish joke is that neither Zhai Le, who proposed it, nor Tang Mei, who agreed, intended to completely keep their promise. This is equivalent to acknowledging that we emulate Emperor Guangwu in the first half, without any doubts, and in the second half, everyone stabs Sima Yi in the back, each relying on his own ability.
