Chapter 204: Every move is a matter of life

The ladyboy's eyes were brighter, like two little suns, and said, "Sister! Give it to me! ”

"Get out!" Hua Qianshu kicked the shemale away, reached out and carefully stroked the sword body and said, "You are also worthy?" Hum! Although I didn't get anything this time, I also went to the last clue of the Xuanyuan artifact, but I was able to get this blade...... It's not for nothing. ”

……

The war in the Southern Ming Kingdom was over, and the million army that had been assembled again watched the barbarians with less than 30,000 run into the mountains and run back to the Phantom Sea Forest, they did not pursue, because they had more important things to do, rebuild!

On the same day that the Northern Qi Dynasty retreated, Cui Siyuan of the Xiaojian Sect sent a letter to the lord of the country, and a pile of 'drafts' written in the house with an article on it, called 'War Strategy - After the War'. After seeing this, the lord ordered his troops to quickly 'reoccupy' the lord after the barbarians had left.

It is clearly stated in the post-war article that in order to achieve a real victory in a war, it is not enough to defeat the enemy, but also to 'get back' one's own people. The people will face more terrible threats than the enemy, such as the danger of the people, such as the scourge of deserters, such as the spawn of rogues, and such as the depleted food. After a war, the upper echelons will think that the world will be peaceful in an instant, but in fact, it is not, in fact, there will be a lot of chaos, and there will be ...... Hunger.

It will take a 'harvest period' for the people to fully recover, but this period will take a minimum of five months and a maximum of a year. It is difficult for them to survive such a long period of time when their homes have been destroyed, their farmland has been trampled, and their grain has been collected.

The article on Heavenly Sin focuses on a term called 'difficult merchants', which refers to those profiteers who made a fortune from the war, who would store a large amount of grain before the war, and after the war, they would use this grain in exchange for the only thing that the suffering people had, the title deed, and themselves.

Large tracts of land will become the private property of some merchants, a large number of people will also become their slaves, and the people will sell their land and themselves for a short period of food and clothing.

The article on natural sins not only raises the question, but also gives a solution.

His Majesty looked at the crooked words, cold sweat dripped down his forehead over and over again, and even his hands trembled.

He reads: "In the world, there are three hundred and sixty-nine people, good families, doctors, witches, merchants, criminals, fugitives, laborers, sons-in-law, and merchants are only one rank higher than sinners. It's all because of 'no worries about killing'! Thirty percent of the wealth in the world belongs to the royal family, two percent belongs to the people, and the remaining fifty percent belongs to officials and merchants, of which business is the most important. When the country is in trouble, when money is out of reach, and the country is in trouble, you can kill merchants to get rich! Business, the displaced people are still lowly, there is no public anger when they are killed, and they are even more vast, and they can be taken at will. When the country is peaceful, the businessmen will rise again, and there is no possibility of breaking off, so since the country, businessmen must be despised, light, can be killed, can be taken! ”

The next old man trembled all over his body, gritted his teeth and said, "What a vicious boy!" This is a fallacy to confuse the public, Your Majesty must not listen to it! ”

The corners of His Majesty's eyes also twitched, and then he took a deep breath, turned his head and asked: "Aiqing, then I came to ask you, now that the way of 'difficult business' is rampant, and the people have just gone through the war and entered the fire and water, how can this matter be solved?" ”

The old man said: "Since the treasury should receive money and food, as long as the people can eat enough, those 'difficult merchants' will have no chance!" ”

His Majesty frowned, looked at the old man's eyes changed a little, and then said: "I also think, but unfortunately now that the war has stopped, the treasury has long been empty, even if I can only rely on the help of my imperial sister every day to eat a good meal, I ...... What to use for disaster relief? ”

"This ......" the sweat on the old man's forehead flowed, and then he said: "Then encourage the local squires to fund, as long as they take out the stored grain, they will naturally be able to solve the current predicament!" ”

His Majesty's brows were even more locked, and his face was even a little angry, he didn't expect that the old man he had always relied on would give himself such a ...... at this time Idea!

With patience, His Majesty sighed, "If I let them take them, they can take them out...... Hum! I won't be able to divide the country strongly, and I won't listen to the royal orders! ”

The old man hurriedly lowered his head, sweating like rain, he had already heard the anger in His Majesty's mouth, and he also felt that the method mentioned in the article on Heavenly Sin was very correct, but ...... You can't say that out of your own mouth! This is to be infamous through the ages!

How could he not know that His Majesty had brought him and read this article to him, which no one could read, for ...... Just let him carry this black cauldron! Kill the war-torn land, accounting for almost a quarter of the gentry and merchants in the territory of the Southern Ming Dynasty? His Majesty wants to do this, because as long as he does this, the world will be peaceful in an instant, and the people will also read his Majesty's good, but ...... After all, he wanted to kill so many 'innocent people', and it was easy to offend the powerful people in other places, so he couldn't give this order himself, he could only ...... The old man went to offer his own plan, and then His Majesty agreed to be "persecuted" and "persecuted", and this was ...... He is a good emperor and a good courtier, and he cooperates seamlessly.

But the old man is very unpopular, so he would rather be cut down himself, and beat him to death than do this, carrying this pot, the old man has been famous for most of his life, and how can he make such a late festival when one leg is about to enter the coffin?

Seeing that he still didn't speak after a long time, his head was full of smoke, but he could only sigh. And the next day, His Majesty Xià found a guy in the court who was willing to carry the black pot, Guo Zhennan, the general of Zhennan, who stood up for the first time, and said that those businessmen in the war zone were not, and clamored to lead the troops to repair them, he thought he was messing around, thinking that His Majesty would definitely not agree, who knows...... His Majesty agreed, and directly asked him to lead the million-strong division that had not yet returned from the battlefield, and he was stunned.

The audience was full of civil and military, and he couldn't hold back his laughter until he retreated.

It's just that they are also breaking out in a cold sweat, and they are wondering which cruel guy has come up with such a solution for His Majesty.

Although Guo Zhennan likes to mess around, he does things in an orderly manner, fast and well. It took him one day to rush to the front line, one day to pack up his people, and in three or four days, he raided the homes of hundreds of large households, and he could be buried in a pile of letters of impeachment.

His thirteenth concubine disguised herself as a man and accompanied him, and at ten o'clock at midnight on the side of the bed, she couldn't help but ask: "General, the general is so murderous, isn't he afraid of leaving a reputation for eternity?" ”

Guo Zhennan cried, he really cried, his old face was full of tears, and he was extremely aggrieved: "Little aunt and grandmother, do you think Lao Tzu wants to do it?" Ay...... Every courtier said that he would share his worries for the king and help His Majesty do things, but who can do it so thoroughly? That is, my old Guo, the matter of loyalty to the king...... Hey, naturally including reciting this infamy through the ages. ”

The thirteen concubines were taken aback, and couldn't help shouting: "Is the general saying that this is actually the meaning of His Majesty?!" ”

"Bah, bah, bah! Be quiet, do you want your general to die? What if someone else hears it so loudly?! ”

Guo Zhennan was scared into a cold sweat.

The thirteenth concubine asked flatly, "Then this ...... It's too much, just bully the general, you ...... honestly"

Guo Zhennan sighed: "Hey, Lao Tzu's infamy has been settled, but ...... Lao Tzu really can't bear to kill like this, didn't you see that Lao Tzu's order was to raid the house, not to destroy the door? As long as the other party does not resist, they will only rob their property, but they will not hurt their lives......"

The thirteenth concubine shook her head, put her arms around him and said, "General, why bother? You know that this is impossible, although the military order is like a mountain, but the military order is more like a rope to lead the dog, as long as it is released, what the evil dog will do, it is not up to the general to control......"

Guo Zhennan was stunned for a moment, and then sighed silently.

The reason why he took the risk of violating military discipline to take the thirteen concubines with him was not that he liked her to the extreme, although this was also the case, but the main reason was that these thirteen concubines were very smart and wise, not the little woman's cleverness, but the great wisdom of foresight.

The fact is exactly what the thirteen concubines said, the military order was issued like this, but the soldiers below ......

Heavenly Sin once said that the biggest difference between humans and beasts is because of the complexity and scale of human organizations...... It makes no difference. And what's the quickest way to make humans beasts? It's to give him power!

There is nothing more powerful than the function of deciding the life and death of another person.

The soldiers were given orders to kill if they resisted, and that was ...... What is resistance? There are some beautiful wives and daughters in the other party's family, they are too beautiful to hinder the eyes of the soldiers, this is ...... It's 'met resistance'! The other party has too many belongings at home, and some of them can fill their own pockets, which is definitely 'resistance'. Shangguan is not around to supervise? That had to be resistance!

So they became beasts, they once shed their blood for the Nanming Kingdom, and in the face of the unpopular merchants, they became bloodthirsty beasts.

Such as...... That kind of death wail can be heard throughout Nanming.

……

As for his casual articles, Heavenly Sin had never been taken seriously, and he had never expected them to come out, so in fact, there were some more detailed and easy-to-manipulate methods that he didn't bother to write. Of course, he didn't know that because of one of his 'laziness', so many innocent people would die tragically at the hands of his own people, brewing one tragic thing after another in the world.

At this time, he didn't think about what happened in Nanming thousands of miles away, his whole body and mind were ...... It's all used on how to take revenge on Xiaoling.

Opportunity...... Soon it came, not deliberately, just a daily habit...... It's in conflict with my current life.

A day passed, and the next morning, when Tiansin was sleeping soundly, there was a shout from the Candle Flame Saint Monarch outside, and I also heard several senior brothers and sisters running out, but he?

"Huh? How do I wash? How do I go to the toilet? Hey, someone! His grandmother drops, and everyone is dead? I'm going to get up! ”
