Chapter 176 Analysis of the Root Cause of the Rebellion

Not long after arriving in the west, I saw two groups of people fighting desperately for food.

It does touch something.

There was a severe drought in the west last year, and there were uprisings in various places at the beginning of the year, so there was no spring plowing at all, and naturally there was no harvest in summer.

Under such circumstances, the scarcity of food is indeed unimaginable.

Solanum nigrum stared blankly at Lin Fan for a while, although it was just a smile, it made her feel at ease for no reason at this moment.

This feeling,

Ever since she took up the burden of the royal family, she has never felt the emotion she felt again.

At this time, her heart once again had ripples, and they were so strong that she dared not continue to watch.

Not daring to answer, she quickly turned her head to the side, and said: "Go to a team and separate them."

"Yes!"

The ruthless in the god catcher quickly responded, and led a group of people out.

The villagers who were fighting between the two gangs were all ordinary people, and the fierce fighting was actually brute force.

Facing the master of Zhen Wusi, they were forcibly separated without any resistance.

Some people were so red-eyed that they couldn't see the situation clearly at this time and wanted to resist.

But when a big guy went down, all of them crouched on the ground with their heads in their arms.

Solanum nigrum brought the others to the front, looked at the sallow and emaciated villagers, and couldn't help sighing again.

"Give them some dry food, and bandage the wounded."

Solanum nigrum gave orders again.

"Yes!"

Soon someone went out to carry out the execution, took out some big cakes and distributed them to the villagers, and the wounded were also sprinkled with golden sore medicine for bandaging.

Seeing that there was something to eat, these villagers immediately took it but gobbled it up.

The blood from the wound was left on the cake, but they didn't care about it at this time.

There was even one who had a severed hand, but desperately stuffed it with another unbroken hand.

"Don't worry, there are all of them."

Solanum nigrum spoke to comfort her, her tone was not as cold as usual, but more amiable.

The people in front of them who were going to be beaten to death just now are actually ordinary people, even honest people.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive anymore, how could they have become like this.

"Who are you?"

After filling his stomach with something, one of them, a man who looked a little clever, sized up the crowd and asked.

This man was dry and thin, he looked young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but compared to other people who were gradually numb, his eyes still had agility.

Zhui Ming, as the deputy commander, came out at this time and replied: "We are members of the imperial court."

"People from the court?"

Looking at the clever man, he wanted to say something, but when he heard this answer, he fell silent for an instant.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing this moment, Zhui Ming was unhappy, and immediately stopped talking when he heard the people in the court, didn't he look down on them!
Looking at the clever man, he didn't answer, and continued to gnaw on the dry food in his hand.

This scene is not just chasing after life, other masters of Zhen Wusi are also not happy.

But Solanum nigrum gave a cold look, and they all shut their mouths obediently.

At this time, Lin Fan stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, from your reaction, it seems that you are dissatisfied with the people in the court?"

"No dissatisfaction."

Seeing the clever man groaning and nibbling on the big cake, he replied that he was not dissatisfied, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was not the truth.

"Little brother, if you are still insincere, all the dry food given to you will be taken back."

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and said, it is still very simple to deal with such a small matter.

Sure enough, there was no accident. When he heard that the food was going to be taken back, the clever man couldn't calm down.

Not only him, but those seemingly numb people around him also subconsciously held the dry food in their hands tightly in their arms.

"Obviously it was given to us, how can it be taken back!"

Looking at the clever man, he said excitedly.

Lin Fan smiled and replied, "I'm not willing to answer any questions, so why should we give you our dry food?"

"This"

The clever man was speechless for a moment, the reason is indeed the same.

It was silent for a while.

For the sake of the food in his hands, he gritted his teeth and said in an aggressive tone: "How can we be full with the court? It is obvious that last year there was a severe drought and it was difficult to survive. The court did not take responsibility and did not reduce taxes, but even increased taxes. Let us If you can’t even survive, tell me, how can we, the ordinary people who keep our own place, be satisfied?”

Although the others didn't say a word, they all showed resentful eyes at this moment.

Obviously in their eyes, it was the imperial court that made them unable to survive.

"If it weren't for the distance, we would all join the rebel army!"

The words had already been spoken, and the clever man didn't hold back anything, and simply finished the words.

"You still want to join the rebels!"

After these words fell, all the masters of Zhen Wusi couldn't bear it anymore. If they can join this department, they are all loyal people, otherwise they would not be cultivated.

Now that someone is blatantly saying that they want to join the rebels, how can they stay calm.

But Solanum nigrum didn't say a word, they could only stare at these rebellious villagers with dangerous eyes from the side.

As for this point, Lin Fan was very calm, and even nodded in approval.

"You have no problem with your thoughts. After all, if the court does not act, there is really no need to get used to it. After all, people have to live first."

"This"

The shrewd man who was going all out, was immediately stunned when he heard these words.

He had thought of the worst situation, but he didn't expect it to be such a situation.

Lin Fan nodded and smiled at the other party, then turned to Solanum nigrum and said, "I believe this answer has also made you understand something. Although the rebellion this time was promoted by the White Lotus Sect, the real culprit is the court itself. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive anymore, would these common people, who were submissive, be willing to risk their entire family's death to revolt?"

As he said that, he looked at the villagers who lowered their heads and continued to gnaw dry food, and said: "Look at their current appearance, if they have a full mouthful of food, can the White Lotus Sect really bewitch them?"

Having read the 5000-year history of dynasty change, although Lin Fan has just arrived in the rebellion area, he has already known the root cause of the rebellion.

It is true that the White Lotus Sect is a pusher, but the real source is not the White Lotus Sect, but the inactive court itself.

The poll tax is already doomed, but it actually increases even if it is not reduced or exempted in a disaster year. Everyone will be forced to rebel against it!
If this root problem is not solved, even if the mysterious master is suppressed, the problem here will still exist.

Nightshade fell silent.

Lin Fan didn't say anything. In fact, many court officials understood this simple question, but why they ignored it was the main point.

"The root cause of the cholera this time is not only the White Lotus Sect, but also some important officials of your court, who also participated in it."

Lin Fan told the real point that the rebellion in the west was only on the surface, and the real problem did not lie in this place.

Solanum nigrum is a smart person, but in the past, she was a high-ranking princess and didn't understand the sufferings of the world. Now Lin Fan enlightened her from the source, and she understood it instantly.

"What do you mean, just deal with the root cause directly, and leave Lord Bailian alone?"

Solanum nigrum humbly asked for advice, and at this moment completely let go of the pride in her heart, and looked at Lin Fan with a trace of admiration.

Strength makes women obey, but wisdom makes women admire.

"Why don't you?"

Lin Fan opened his mouth and said: "Master Bailian not only wants to control, but also to suppress it forcefully. Only when the people standing in front are dealt with, will the real behind-the-scenes come out!"

"Okay, we will all follow your arrangements for the next action."

Solanum nigrum nodded vigorously.

"What do you think?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes: "I just came here to contribute, and it was an extra gift just now, you still want me to work hard?"

"You bastard!"

Gritting her teeth, Solanum nigrum said: "Why is it so difficult to ask you to help out, just wait until later when someone gives you sincerity!"

"You have to be satisfied. If you don't have enough sincerity, I don't have the energy to work hard."

Lin Fan said with a smile, causing Solanum nigrum to grit his teeth again.

Fortunately, the other people with the cloak didn't know this, otherwise all the masters of the Zhenwu Division would be stunned.

"What are we going to do now?"

Solanum nigrum had no choice but to ignore Lin Fan and turn to the topic.

Lin Fan replied: "Let's write to your father again. The rebellion here cannot be solved by force alone. Let's send another capable minister to bring supplies to relieve the disaster."

"Is it just for disaster relief?"

Solanum nigrum frowned and asked, if disaster relief could solve the problem, the imperial court would have already done it, so why wait until now.

"Relying on disaster relief alone is definitely not enough. The use of force must still be maintained. After all, the victims of the uprising were to survive at the beginning, but now they have completely let go of their ambitions. If they don't hurt them first, they will never wake up. After all, it is easy to let go of desires, but it is difficult to put them away.”

Lin Fan shook his head and replied, these are all seen in history books, and human nature is indeed like this, without any emotion involved.

"But the most important thing is to get rid of the mysterious master first, so as to expose the imperial predators hiding in the dark. Only by solving these two can we really solve it once and for all. Otherwise, the west side will be solved today. Tomorrow there will be south and north, and it may even attract foreign thieves."

Solanum nigrum naturally understands such a simple truth, but she didn't think about it before. Now that Lin Fan analyzed it, she suddenly became enlightened.

"I'll write a letter to my father right now, and implement the plan according to what you said."

Solanum nigrum nodded quickly, and then blew the special whistle again, summoning the white dragon falcon that belonged to her alone.

On the way here, apart from suppressing the mysterious master, she was actually at a loss.

But now her thoughts are clearer than ever before, and the creator of all this is the man in front of her.

This made her heart ripple again and became even more restless.

And when she thought of the sincerity agreed just now, her face turned red again.

But compared to the past, she didn't feel any rejection this time.

Instead, there is a trace of anticipation.
