Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 450 It’s broken! It’s broken!

"This time, treat it as a lesson learned. When you enter the house, kneel in front of your grandparents' tablets for a day and reflect on your actions."

Yu Wenzhi did not blame his son too much. As a young man, it was understandable for him to make mistakes due to impulse. Besides, asking him to confront the cunning Dugu family head-on was a bit bullying to be honest. But it was better this way. People cannot teach others, so it is enough to teach them once. Just think of it as spending money to avoid disaster.

If you ask whether he hates Dugu Han or not, he can't say he hates him to death, but he hates him a little. The game of checks and balances between the noble families has a long history. If he falls into his hands today, he might fall into his hands one day. Didn't the old thief Dugu Han die of a serious illness caused by his anger? This is just the beginning.

"Master, Master!"

The butler came out with a smile on his face, following the master with a festive look on his face.

"Fuyuan, is there anything going on at home recently?"

"My Lord, there aren't many things to worry about. It's the off-season, so everything is going well. A few days ago, the Zhang family of Songlin Mansion drove out more than 3,000 people who worked on his land. Then our family's manager thought about it and said that if we do this, we can save tens of thousands of taels of silver in one winter, so we drove out those useless people."

"Kicked out?"

Yu Wenzhi raised his eyebrows and asked: "Where did you go?"

"We said we wanted to teach that young imperial envoy a lesson. He was just trying to show off. Let him see what it's like to have hundreds of thousands of mouths to feed. Then he won't dare to show his teeth to us."

"Who!?" Yu Wenji's eyes suddenly widened: "Where did you go???"

"That's the imperial envoy who went to Luoyang a few days ago. He wanted to establish a Buddhist country, but he finally asked us to drive to a remote place."

Upon hearing the news, Yu Wenzhi felt his heartbeat slow down and his heart twitched. His face turned pale and he took a few steps back, then sat on the chair and gasped.

When the butler saw this, he quickly took out a small porcelain bottle and fed the pills inside to the master.

After a long while, Yu Wenzhi finally recovered. He covered his chest and half-closed his eyes: "Great, great, great trick, great way to lure the tiger away from the mountain! Great! Great, they are all great people, after all, the younger generation is the winner."

"Father, I don't understand."

Yu Wenzhi didn't even have the energy to scold his son at this moment. He just chuckled and said, "They play really beautifully. Really beautifully."

Yuwen Yi's IQ is obviously not like his father's. He still hasn't figured out what's going on. Yuwen Ji continued, "I think it's clear. Even if you guys didn't cause trouble, that kid from the Dugu family would still invite us old people over. He's not after money... Ouch... It's over."

"If it weren't for money, what else would he have done?"

"You, you, you, who is the leader of the Eight Pillars?"

"The Dugu family."

"As the leader of the Eight Pillars of the State, how can you say that you have earned the title in vain? You really need to make some progress. People are the same age as you, but they treat you like a dog."

Seeing his father belittle him, Yuwen Yi was really unhappy, but Yuwen Ji no longer had the heart to comfort his son. He frowned and said, "Think about it, because of your disturbance, all the warehouses in Fuliang can no longer hold anything. This will inevitably cause low grain prices to hurt farmers and even cause the entire trade route to collapse. He must consume these things, but it is obvious that the local area cannot eat them. This year is still a bumper year, and there are many more arable land and mineral veins in Saibei. No place can eat them. So what do you think you should do?"

"I don't know..."

"Ah~"

Yu Wenzhi let out a long sigh. If he had known that this kid would be like this, he would have just smeared him on the wall earlier.

"We must find a place that can consume all these things and stabilize the price first! Where can we consume them? Of course, it can be consumed by a place with many people. A few days ago, Wang Shichong's son came to borrow some people. I thought that they needed to reclaim wasteland, so it was normal for them to need some people. But now they took advantage of our absence and stuffed hundreds of thousands of people into their pockets?"

"Master, I roughly calculated that all the big families in Jiangbei did this, and there are more than 200,000 people in total."

Before Yu Wenzhi could even say anything, he rolled his eyes.

It's broken! It's broken!

This was a great plan, and they were really playing it very clearly. When Yu Wenzhi calmed down a little, he immediately asked people to find out who persuaded the local tyrants to make such a decision.

After checking, it turned out to be Wang Shichong's bastard son. He traveled around and did all kinds of bad things. He was openly trying to increase income and reduce expenditure for the major families, but in fact, he was trying to divert money from the six counties in the southern part of Henan Province. One was Wang Shichong's son, one was Dugu Han, and the other was Xia Daosheng. One of these three played hard, one played dirty, and the other was a dog-headed military advisor. They worked together really well.

"How many of them are there now?"

"Four hundred thousand is definitely there..."

As soon as the number 400,000 came out, Yu Wenzhi almost fainted again. He took a deep breath, stood up and walked around restlessly.

"Go, call everyone in Jiangbei to come to me without wasting a moment."

Only three days later, the families in Jiangbei gathered in front of Yuwen Yi again. Many of them had only heard of Xia Daosheng but had never seen him. However, when they heard Yuwen Yi's urgent call, they were somewhat surprised.

But after arriving here and hearing what Yu Wenzhi said, combined with the information their spies had obtained from the six southern counties, everyone was shocked.

A warlord has 400,000 hungry people under his command. Now he has enough food, fuel and other things to feed these 400,000 people. What will be the outcome?
Explosion of troops, do you even need to think about it! ?

At that moment, the Wei Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Suddenly, a man with 400,000 soldiers, who were organized, disciplined, well-fed and well-equipped, appeared in the heart of the Central Plains. No one knew whether he could overthrow the Wei Dynasty or not, but there was no doubt that he could overthrow the aristocratic families.

"Still waiting? Others are waiting for sufficient troops and food supplies. What are you waiting for? Waiting to die?"

Yu Wenzhi pointed at the people below him and cursed: "The problem is that you are not united and angry. You are here at a certain time, but you are still thinking about your little piece of land!"

"So what should we do now?"

"Gather some people." Yu Wenzhi put his hands on his hips and said, "Raise the army!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was at a loss. Is it so hasty to raise an army? The crime of treason is no small matter. Even if you don't take Da Wei seriously, Da Wei is not dead yet. Although the old emperor is said to be critically ill, Li Yuan still follows his orders. How can this be raised casually?
"Protect the land! In the name of protection, gather the people. Otherwise, I'm afraid that before spring comes, you will all lose your heads."

"No...it can't be that serious, right? I think Xia Lin is just an ordinary person..."

An ordinary person... an ordinary person can make a big chicken claw out of your mother. An ordinary person can stir up unrest in the whole Henan Province by setting up a scheme by himself. An ordinary person has taken care of the people's livelihood of six counties in a few months and appeased hundreds of thousands of refugees. An ordinary person has made these old aristocratic families' heads jump up and down.

These 400,000 people are not given for free. He is going to do something. No matter what it is, it is always better to be prepared. What kind of land does he need 400,000 people to farm? Unless he wants to farm the land of Buddha or the land of Luoyang!
After Wang Shichong left, the Yuwen family was the one who had the final say. Now that he has made the final decision, other families will naturally follow suit, and some will contribute their manpower and some may even be able to recruit serious military talents.

We did this secretly until around New Year's Day, which was the end of November in the lunar calendar.

Xia Lin has recruited a militia of about 120,000 people for his fifth brother. It is important to emphasize here, militia.

What is the concept? These people are not soldiers in the traditional sense. They are not soldiers in the traditional sense. They are not private armies in the sense of aristocratic families. They are improving on the basis of industrial farmers. In fact, it means farmers changing.

There are too many people farming. Now that they are rich, we can't let them starve to death, right? So they are transferred out to help with farming, infrastructure construction, and water conservancy projects. Giving them a position makes it easier to manage them. Don't worry, they are essentially just civilians. They are related to the military, but not many.

It's just that Xia Lin is rich, and the militia has standard light armor, but these armors are all made of cardboard. How strong can cardboard be? It's just for show. The sabers are also ordinary steel sabers, which are steel that was not used up in building houses. They are melted twice and poured into molds. They are crudely made and not up to standard.

The key point is that they have no horses. How can they be considered an army without horses? Obviously not.

"This thing is called a fire gun. It is extremely powerful within a range of ten feet. It contains two bullets. When you run out of energy or in a critical moment, you can pull it out from your waist and shoot. Let me demonstrate it to you first."

Luo Shixin took out his musket and fired twice. The pottery jar in front of him shattered. The soldiers below applauded and cheered. Then he patted a shiny black cannon and said, "This is called a cannon. The principle is the same as that of a musket, but it is more powerful and has a longer range. However, it is also larger and heavier. Generally, four people are needed to form a team. Let me demonstrate it."

The personal soldiers loaded and fired skillfully, and with a loud roar, a large bluestone in front of them, which was bigger than a cow, was instantly shattered into powder. The soldiers who witnessed all this were all shocked.

"Remember, we are not those bastards who steal other people's land. We only have one idea. What do you think it is?"

"Take back the land and live in peace!"

"Very good!" Luo Shixin applauded and said, "General Shan will give a speech next. Applause!"

The applause was as loud as a mountain. At this moment, Master Shan Wu came forward and cleared his throat: "Then I will briefly talk about some of the settings and arrangements of our Green Forest Army. Everyone, please listen quietly."
