Chapter 158: The Wind Rises
A dozen young men and women from the empire hid in an inn and plotted to overthrow the rich and powerful upper class of the Sioux and replace them. Marianne, who loves to read popular books, would probably say that if she knew, she wouldn't dare to write like this.
Jacques was planning how to wipe out the upper echelons of the Sioux Clan, while Martin and the others began to wander around the city of Zidiran, using the River to open the way to win the favor of the Sioux people, understand their thoughts, and gather information in all directions.
Two days later, Fat Orange sneaked into the Lake Temple again at night and successfully met Terenas, who had transformed into a silver-haired woman.
"Kitten, have you and your little friend figured out a way?" Terenas soaked half of her body in the pool, and with a gesture of her hand, she took the fat orange into her arms.
Fat Tangerine curled up his tail to prevent it from falling into the water, and his paws poked into the ditch and said, "I have thought of a solution, but I need you to make a move." The changes in the outside world over the years, this emperor guesses that you should be clear.
The root cause of the worse and worse quality of the men here is those rotten Sioux upper, since the 'Glory Wolf Warrior' abolished the equal distribution, the rich Sioux people have become more and more rich in the past few decades, and they want to be powerful after they have money, so it is their inevitable choice to exchange money for the titles of warrior and guardian, and the guardian can elect the big chief, and the big chief will naturally protect them after coming to power.
They have broken the rules you set back then, so if you want to restore the original purpose of the Warrior Challenge, you must wipe out all the existing upper echelons.
Without their obstruction, we will mobilize the ordinary people of the Sioux to restore the equal distribution of the year, and make the Warrior Challenge a truly fair selection, and you will naturally get the strong men you need. ”
"So, you're going to want me to clean up all the upper echelons of the Sioux?" Therenas's words were emotionless, which made Fat Tangerine a little uncertain, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "We create an opportunity, you take action to restrain them, we clean them up, and claim to the outside world that we did it ourselves." You don't have to show up, as long as you do it cleanly, there will be no rumors related to the Beastmaster, so that you don't break the agreement. ”
As the time passed, Fat Tangerine's mood continued to sink with the quiet atmosphere in the room, and it seemed that he had sunk into the water.
Terenas finally spoke: "Then try it, I can do it, but you have to make sure that there will be no news about me."
That guy has a lot of sources, and if he knew about it, I would lose my qualifications, and I've been stable for ninety-seven years, and I can't afford to fall short in the last three years.
You have to give me a foolproof plan, or I'd rather wait another three years. ”
"What qualifications are you fighting for?" Fat Orange curious.
"Isis didn't tell you, do you think I'll say it?" Trinas laughed.
Fat Tangerine rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that this emperor is not the beast king of the New World? Then this emperor should not be qualified to compete, right? So let this emperor know that it will not affect your competition." ”
"Little one, you almost convinced me, if you do it, I can tell you. ”
"What you promised the emperor will also be given to the emperor!" Fat Orange hurriedly added.
"No problem!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was very good, Fat Tang hurriedly threw out another request: "In order to ensure that after the upper echelons are all cleared, the warrior challenge will not be controlled by others, what we want to control is the secular power of the Sioux people, and you must also support us in this regard." ”
Trenas slid into the water, and Fat Orange followed suit, but it didn't dare to struggle, allowing the water to overflow, leaving only a cat's head on the surface.
Terenas stopped diving: "My influence is limited to the temple, I can respond to the requests of the believers, influence the thoughts of the priests, if you need my help, you can also tell me, still that request, don't disqualify me."
As for worldly power, it's no problem to give it to you, I just want my needs to be met, and I want more robust offspring. ”
Fat Orange leaves the Lake Temple soaked, bringing Jacques the promise of the Lake God.
With the support of the lake god Terenas, Jacques and Martin discuss the plan overnight, and Lily and Garman don't bother to wait for them, and each goes to bed early.
The two laughed and quarreled, wrote a dozen pieces of paper on the desk, and made up for the oil from the kerosene lamp.
It wasn't until the next day that the two came out of the room unkempt, found a quiet room, and arranged tasks for their partners one by one.
Even Dunst and a few other security guards, as well as the entourage such as Duane and Kevin the cook, also received arrangements, and in the afternoon, under the leadership of the White Fox, they left Zidilan City and headed north, leaving only Jacques and Martin and others in the hotel.
A little later, Martin also quietly left with Chandler and Garman.
In the evening, Sanders, Evans and others, who had been shopping heavily in the city, also left with the newly hired convoy.
There were only six people left in the inn, and the shopkeeper, Wandering Iron Fist, was very curious, why were these six young men left behind?
For the next two days, Jacques became idle, drinking tea and playing chess with Wandering Iron Fist every day, and Wandering Iron Fist became more and more fond of this interesting young man.
Finally, on this day, Jacques was fighting with the black and white chess from the Empire under the Wandering Iron Fist, Jacques suddenly stood up, confessed to the Wandering Iron Fist, went upstairs to call Lily, and rushed away.
Wandering Iron Fist stood at the door of the inn, looked at the two riders in the distance, felt a gust of cold wind, and said to himself: "The wind on the plateau is ......."
......
Living on the southern shore of Lake Texco, Rushoucao cultivates seven and a half acres of paddy fields on the shore of the lake, barely supporting an elderly man and three and a half children.
Russobe is an inconspicuous grass in the desert, but it can withstand the desert's water shortage season for most of the year, survive until the rain and then grow wildly.
Since the death of her husband, she has carried the burden of the family as the sole laborer, plowing the rice fields, hunting hares, feeding cattle and sheep, and taking care of her three children and her elderly mother with great difficulty.
According to the tradition of the Sioux nationality, there are no men in the family, and the family does not have to pay the male tax assessed by the whole family, and only when her eldest son grows up and officially inherits the family's seven and a half acres of paddy fields.
However, the family was not much luckier than the other neighbors, and the emperor's tax collector learned that her family was exempt from paying the men's tax, so he raised her family's agricultural tax by 50% with a wave of his hand, to fifteen silver coins a year.
The real bad luck came, and just last week, the tax officer's newly recruited tax team came to Yun Tecao's home, and after some inspection, issued her a tax bill for 25 silver coins.
The reason is that after inspection, this year will be a bumper year, and Yun Shou has raised three more sheep than last year, and his income has increased, so he should pay higher taxes.
The businessmen who came to buy the rice offered a purchase price that was 20 percent lower than last year's, on the grounds that this year's rice harvest was bumper and it was worthless.
The Yunjucao family immediately fell into a predicament, the tax officer would come to collect taxes in the next few days, and if the grain was sold cheaply to raise 25 silver coins, the seeds would be deducted, and the family's annual ration would be insufficient.
Cattle need to be milked and cannot be sold, sheep are sold at a loss before they are slaughtered, and if there is a man in the family, they can go to the wasteland to try their luck, and the collected spiritual plants or other precious harvests can also withstand this crisis.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much left for Yuntecao, and in the end, just today, the tax team took her only buffalo.
In the morning, when the cow was lost, Rushoucao and the old mother wept in the house.
But I heard another noise outside, could it be that the tax collection team is back?
The youngest daughter, Cat's Eye Grass, hurriedly ran into the house and said breathlessly: "Mommy, Grandma, our cattle are back! They are still handing out money, come and get it!"
Yun Shoucao touched the forehead of the cat's eye grass, this girl can't be stupid, right?
Cat's eye grass held her mother's hand and pulled out: "Come and see, the eldest brother and the second brother are over there!"
Yun Tecao opened the door and happened to see his two sons leading their buffalo into the courtyard.
The ploughing cattle are lost and recovered, and happy events fall from the sky!
