There's something wrong with this guy

Chapter 131 History of Weiyu Town

"Dongjun, come and taste the rice wine from our town."

Xi Huanyan withdrew her gaze from the window, turned around and saw Yu Zhenchuan pouring wine into the cup with a wine jar.

"Don't worry, the taste is sweet and not intoxicating. We used to drink it as water."

Xi Huanyan took a sip, and it was indeed okay, "How do you say it was before?"

"It's still the matter of falling into it."

"I just want to explore the living conditions of the people under the regime change. You might as well talk to me."

"It's too much to talk about." Yu Zhenchuan took out a small jug from his arms, took a sip, and explained with a smile, "I'm used to drinking low-quality spirits."

He thought for a while and said, "My experience is probably the epitome of history. Social studies let us enter for free, and we don't even have to pay for food. Civil and Military Academy is also free, but we have to pay for food and miscellaneous expenses.

I entered social studies at the age of six, graduated at the age of 16, and entered the Wucheng Civil and Military Academy. I graduated at the age of 38 and obtained a secondary education certification. I was a two-star martial artist. I served five years of military service in accordance with the rules. settle down.

Weiyu Town is very good to the settlers. Each person can be allocated a house. If they are born locally, they can be allocated an extra half acre of land. I have a house and half an acre of land.

But people always want better things. With the Medal of Honor I got during my five years as a soldier, I recommended myself to the town secretary and became the chief bookkeeper in charge of documents.

When I was in sociology school, there was a child who suddenly became a spiritual person one day, and was immediately taken to the highest academy. When I was serving, I happened to meet someone who was already an officer in the army.

I also have a little friend who is very poor. He can’t learn anything without studying for 22 years for free. He can only go to a difficult place for military service, but he still has nothing to worry about when he comes back here.

In my impression, everything is good, until the tax regulations promulgated by the empire become more and more stringent, more and more shops are closed on the street, and more and more farmers in the fields starve to death. How do you ask me to give The people in the town delivered those orders that killed people. Dongjun was not born at that time, and you have never seen them guarding a piece of rice and starving to death.

Since then, the morals of the world have changed. Officials are not officials, people are not people. Officials rob, and people steal. The academy system is the only pure land. "

Yu Zhenchuan was silent for a while, and then said, "There was a war after that. To tell you the truth, there was no resistance at all when the Allied forces from the Western Regions fought here. People are very happy, at least they don't have to pay high taxes, and they don't have to worry about being pulled to do manual work.

Not to mention, the Firethorn Guild that took over Muzhou is very good at grabbing people's hearts. In the past, under the rule of the empire, there were rules for everything. Regardless of these, let us sell when we want to sell, and buy when we want to buy.

In our Weiyu Town, the most famous thing is Yuandao, which contains a small amount of heaven and earth vitality, and is very popular among martial artists. Once sold, copper coins and silver coins are used to carry buckets, but each of us gets the same amount of land, and the income is similar. After losing the rules, some people began to buy and sell by force, occupied more fields, and quickly became rich.

The firethorn guild abolished the town secretary, abolished the academy, fists became the rules, and people's hearts became more chaotic. Those with high strength and those who knew how to make money, they almost confessed to the guild, because it gave them a chance to grab big benefits , which the empire cannot provide.

On this point, without the guild taking action, we would fight among ourselves. If some people want to benefit, then some people will definitely resist. At that time, more than ten people died almost every day until the weak side could not resist. "

Yu Zhenchuan rolled up his sleeves and trousers, revealing the scars on them, "I can bear everything else, but I can't bear it if I can't study. The guild abolished the academy, and we can't let the children be abolished.

I helped farmers protect the fields during the day, and at night, I secretly took the students to learn at home, in the mountains, and at midnight with the instructors. However, within a few years, the guild banned private literacy and martial arts in the name of security. , only forces recognized by the guild are not subject to this restriction.

After this order came down, half of the people in the town rebelled, and then the other half suppressed it. My tendons in my hands and feet were disabled at that time, and I can’t use it now. I have no internal strength. "

Xi Huanyan nodded, "I have heard of the reputation of the people in Muzhou for their rudeness. It wasn't until I went deep into Muzhou and did some research that I realized that the Firethorn Guild burned down the state chronicles and all documents related to the empire in order to control the people, and shaved off the academy system. , Closed most of the bookstores, people do not understand etiquette and reason, they will follow their instincts, cling to fists, and submit to violence."

"Isn't that right? Fifty percent of those born in the past 20 years and those born in the next ten years have no literacy or martial arts experience. Those lackeys are very obedient and beat them severely. They broke into the house and burned their books. , folded the pen, put away the weapon, if the child shows a little bit of literacy and martial arts, even the adults will be beaten to death."

Yu Zhenchuan became more and more angry as he said, "What is the root of prosperity? It is an academy. Just because there is an academy, almost all the people are capable of literature and martial arts. That's why a warrior is like a grasshopper, walking everywhere. What's the name of the town? It's called an army." Town, people in every town can put down their farm tools and close their shops, and they can go to the battlefield with knives, but this generation has become a mediocre person without the power to protect themselves!"

"I am a sinner, and we are all sinners. If we had resisted with all our strength, we would not have fallen and hurt the children."

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the rough back of his hand, "I also know that our town records were burned. I am afraid that no one will remember the original appearance of the town. Big or small, if you want to see it, I will take you to see it."

"Then trouble you."

"Please move. After the re-establishment of social studies, I moved everything to the archives room, which is next door."

Xi Huanyan followed him, and when he saw the scene inside the house, he was a little moved. The carriers of these words, including bamboo slips, stone flakes, cloth, and leather, filled the whole room. When he opened the only stack of paper books, the texture was very rough. , like homemade.

"I hid them underground before, and many of them were rotten. When the affairs of the social studies are properly arranged, I will vacate them on paper. I have wronged you."

Xi Huanyan said, "It's you and the people of Muzhou who were wronged. Under the Duke's rule, if nothing else, at least every word can be shown to others in a dignified manner."

"Hey, okay, take your time." Yu Zhenchuan closed the door and walked to the empty martial arts arena. He was rarely relaxed. He just sat down on the stone bench by the side of the arena when he saw a one-eyed woman rushing in.

The one-eyed woman passed by him like the wind, and turned back after a while, surprised, "Are you sick?"

"No."

The one-eyed woman looked around him, squeezed together with him, and hooked his shoulders, "Who bullied you?"

"roll!"

"That's right." The one-eyed woman was relieved, stood up and clapped her hands, "Tell me, it's so abnormal, you know I'm going to the street to find trouble, but you didn't yell at me."

A woman is a sociology teacher.

Bo Yao and Yu Zhenchuan belong to the same class of Wenwu Academy. The difference is that Yu Zhenchuan went to the town secretary, and she went to the patrol guard in the city. Later, she couldn't stand the messy orders of the empire, so she applied to be transferred to this town. sociology.

The eyes were picked off to protect the students during the ban.

She treats the Pyrothorn Guild and her former enemies as only one person, and it's over, but she is full of distrust of the empire.

Because she was so proud of being a soldier of the empire, but the empire lost its people and land, like a vicious dog who couldn't keep its bones and could only bark.
