Mingshi

Chapter 1371

"Did you hear that?" Luo Xin spread his hands towards He Xinyin and said, "There are two main reasons why the mountain people are poor, hungry, and even starved to death.

One is poverty, and the other is the exploitation of the eighteen villages, which constantly suck blood from the mountain people.Even the exploitation of the Eighteen Villages outweighs poverty.They are greedy and cruel, and they don't regard the mountain people as human beings at all. You can ask Hao Datong and the others, who has not been bullied by the Eighteen Villages? "

He Xinyin looked at Hao Datong and those mountain people, and when those mountain people heard Luo Xin's words, they all recalled the bullying they suffered from the Eighteen Villages, and their eyes turned red.

Luo Xin's voice sounded faintly: "There are two reasons for poverty. One is that there is very little land in the mountains and forests that can grow crops, and the harvest is not good. It is impossible to meet the needs of the mountain people. The second is that they do not have enough land to grow crops. The only skill is hunting, and hunting is a dangerous job, and most of the harvest from hunting is taken away by Shibazhai.

They were powerless to resist the exploitation of the Eighteen Villages.Dare to resist, the result is death.

Therefore, if you want the mountain people to have enough food, you must solve these two problems.Once these two problems are solved, no one wants to rob the mountain people who can eat enough.You must know that robbery kills not only those who are robbed, but also those who rob.

People who can eat enough will not rebel against the imperial court, because the price of rebelling against the imperial court is too high, and more people will die.And those who died were all strong and strong. Without the strong and strong, they would not be able to hunt, and more mountain people would die. "

Hao Datong and other mountain people nodded their heads one after another. Luo Xin's words reached their hearts, and they looked at Luo Xin expectantly.

"So, I'm here." Luo Xin's face showed a confident color: "I'm not here to kill the mountain people, but to solve the problem for the mountain people, and to solve the problem once and for all. Let them be able to If you have a full stomach, you don't have to worry about starvation, and you don't have to worry about the eighteen villages coming to rob them, let alone worry about the imperial court coming to encircle them.

First, I will teach them brewing techniques.The most indispensable thing in this deep mountain and old forest is fruit. I teach them the technology of making wine with fruit, and I will charge as much as they brew. .

With the technology of wine making, coupled with their farming and hunting, they can not only eat enough, but also eat well.This solves their poverty problem.

However, if the eighteen villages still exist, these mountain people will become coolies.They have benefited from brewing wine, most of which will be robbed by Shibazhai, and they will still live in poverty, without food and clothing.Therefore, in order for the mountain people to have enough food and clothing, it is necessary to eradicate the Eighteen Villages.

It is rooted out, and there will be no more eighteen villages oppressing the mountain people.

Only in this way can the mountain people live a good life. "

Speaking of this, Luo Xin showed a look of compassion on his face and said: "For the sake of millions of mountain people, even if I, Luo Xin, get a bad reputation, it is worth it."

Everyone was silent, only the sound of "rustling" footsteps.After a while, Hao Datong said to Luo with red eyes:
"Lord Luo, we can't put this notoriety on you. You must have a way, right? You just need to say what we need to do, let us break through."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The mountain people shouted excitedly: "Let's break through the mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "No need, as long as millions of mountain people can eat and wear warm clothes, that is the greatest reward for me. Speed ​​up and get to Village No.17 before dark."

Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan looked at each other, and the two gathered together, discussing something in a low voice while walking.When it was time for lunch, Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan came among the mountain people.

All the mountain people saluted the two people in both fear and excitement, Hao Datong hurriedly asked Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan to sit down, did he know that these two people were Luo Xin's right-hand men.

"Master Yun, Master Tao, eat something." Hao Datong brought up dry food.

Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan took the dry food, Yun Zhiqiu broke a piece and put it in his mouth, and said while eating:
"Brothers from the mountains, you all heard what Lord Luo said this morning, right?"

"I heard it!" All the mountain people nodded one after another.

"You don't want Lord Luo to bear a bad name for you, do you?"

"I don't want to!"

"Besides, once Mr. Luo bears this notoriety and returns to the capital, he might be dismissed by His Majesty. Once His Majesty dismisses him, no one will buy your wine."

The expressions of all the mountain people couldn't help but Hao Datong said anxiously:

"My lords, if there is anything we need to do, you can just say it, let's go."

"Yes! Mountains of swords and seas of fire, let's go." The mountain people slapped their chests loudly.

"It's not that serious." Tao Xingyan waved his hand and said, "However, there are some things that you need to do."

"What's the matter? Please advise, my lord."

"First of all, you must spread the words Lord Luo said in the morning among the mountain people, so that millions of mountain people will know your painstaking efforts and efforts."

"That's not a problem." Hao Datong patted his chest and said, "Without the Eighteen Villages, Huangshan, Weihe and I still have some prestige among the mountain people. As long as we tell them, they will definitely believe it."

"The second thing is to ask you mountain people to write a book on people."

"The Book of Ten Thousand Peoples?"

"Yes, Wanmin Book." Tao Xingyan nodded and said, "You have to write about how you were oppressed by the eighteen villages these years, and write about the most miserable things you have suffered among the mountain people, so that your majesty can know that you are living in dire straits. Among them, let His Majesty know that you are the real mountain people, and the eighteen villages are not mountain people at all, but bandits. They not only rob the Han people, fight against the government, but also rob you mountain people.

Thanks to His Majesty sending Luo Xin, the Eighteen Villages were wiped out and you were rescued from dire straits. "

"I understand." Hao Datong thought for a while, finally came to his senses, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it beautifully."

Even if Hao Datong sent 100 people to the various tribes, he must first let the tribes know that Luo Xin can solve their poverty.In this way, whether those people believe it or not, as long as they hesitate and don't come to help Shibazhai immediately, then it will be easy to say anything in the future.

at dusk.

The army came to the woods a kilometer away from No. 17 village. Zhang Long and Wang Gao led Hao Datong's more than 100 people towards No. 17 village.
