Bao Zheng, Bao Heizi is a rare upright minister in history, and he angrily killed his nephew who benefited from disaster relief food, which actually reflects the darkness and horror of ancient society.

At the same time, those big grain households, such as grain merchants, such as landlords and wealthy gentry, will take the opportunity to accumulate money, while looting all the grain from the people, while selling it in limited quantities or even not at all, further creating panic and making hunger worse, and the price of grain soaring, and the silver will be earned dozens or hundreds of times, and the government will tacitly benefit together......

The landlords also have another goal - land.

A disaster year is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to annex land.

Usually there are no natural disasters, the people are not short of food, how can they sell the land they own.

The earth is the lifeblood of the people. Selling wives and children will not sell land.

In the famine, the landlord first tacitly agreed with the government and grain merchants, one to send grain relief as late as possible, and the other to restrict the sale of grain, while the landlord cried poor, and the landlord's family had no surplus grain.

Starve to death, as many people as possible, including those who have land but no food to eat.

When the people are hungry and anxious, they do not hesitate to take risks to gather people to rob or even rebel, and kill the head to eat a full meal, so that in the famine, the so-called various benevolent households appeared, and with tears of fish, they mercifully gave the people the food they "saved in their mouths", of course, a little bit, that is, hanging their lives, so that the anxious people can see some hope again, and dismantle the danger of robbery and rebellion. And took the opportunity to take the initiative to send the land to the door for food at the slightest cost, but also won gratitude, won the reputation of benevolence, spread to become more virtuous, the image is also better and appealing.

For example, Huang Wenbing of Jiangzhou, who almost killed Song Jiang, and Huang Dashanren, the elder brother of the big landlord, are so developed, and they are called great benevolent people.

There is a famous saying: If you can't kill the poor, you can't be a rich man.

This is the secret of making a fortune and the dogma of faith that the landlords generally know and abide by from generation to generation.

This is especially true of the capitalists, all kinds of sweatshops, illegal child labor....... That's why there is a minimum wage standard as a minimum constraint.

Therefore, in the immigration frenzy, Huang Dashan's family was also robbed......

What I want to say is that whether it is a foreign barbarian, or a Han with a high degree of docility and civilization, in the famine, they kill their fathers and mothers and eat them, cook their wives and eat them, and change their children to eat....... It's an inevitable thing, and it's not uncommon in recent history.

Is this cruel or not?

Isn't it inhuman?

But can you justifiably condemn them?

Zhao Yue has lived in this Northern Song Dynasty world for nearly 20 years, and has seen too many unbearable tragedies with his own eyes, and he has most intuitively and profoundly comprehended the evaluation: the essence of history is the naked two big characters "cannibalism".

The rulers stand on the tower of power and use state violence to maintain order as a means to "suck blood and eat people" on the people with dignity.

The people are hungry and have no choice but to eat people.

As the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty became more and more corrupt/chaotic, and the officials became more and more unscrupulous, the big families were more relaxed...... The more frequent and cruel this kind of tragedy is.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Yue's family was at a low price and even volunteered to vigorously promote seeds, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes...... All kinds of foreign vegetables and fruits, together with the invention of convenient and efficient agricultural machinery and cultivation technology, have all been promoted, increasing grain production several times, enriching edible content, and improving the ability of the people to resist natural disasters. What's all the fuss about cannibalism?

Deng Yun made human meat buns, he and his subordinates didn't eat them, and they killed those who were judged to be rich and unkind, and there may be unjust deaths in them, but the proportion of innocent people is very small, and there may not even be any. I am away from home, and I usually have acquaintances in my hometown...... The scruples of the occasion need to be disguised, and the nature of the big man is easily exposed...... Together with the accompanying slaves, all kinds of arrogance, ferocity, and unreasonableness....... Don't treat people as people, let alone store owners who are used to seeing all kinds of customers, have a good eye and are good at recognizing, even if you are a random person, it is not difficult to judge the person who passes by. It's not right to kill people for meat, the behavior of beasts, but in this absurd and terrible era, Deng Yun's behavior is not unforgivable.

Cao Cao's army of the Three Kingdoms, the Fangla Uprising, the Li Zicheng Uprising, and the Great Famine of the Republic of China...... I've eaten people. To condemn?

Shouldn't the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who force the people to have no way to live, and the big families who take advantage of too many social resources by cunning? Shouldn't it be eaten as food by hungry rebels?

This kind of thing cannot be viewed through the eyes of later developed civilized societies.

It's not just a matter of human nature.

It is a social issue that is directly related to survival.

In that era, hunger was urgent, people and animals had to eat grass and gnaw tree bark to satisfy hunger, mud could be eaten as food so that they couldn't care about it alive and dead, and it was already very lucky to have human flesh to eat, how could they take care of human nature at that time? How can you think about anything else? Eating is the only thought under the instinct, the will is broken, the delirium, everything looks like something can be eaten, and they want to see if they can eat it....... How can there be any mind to condemn or be condemned as they normally would?

There have been too many events in history that fed on people.

To condemn can only condemn society, condemn the ruling class, condemn man is often more greedy and vicious than wild beasts...... Right?

In this bad era, Zhao Yue knows that acts contrary to human nature like Deng Yun are actually a way for the people of the green forest to eliminate violence and peace, and believe in justice.

Song Jiang prides himself on being a civilized scholar, but in order to avenge the revenge of Huang Wenbing, he still drinks his heart.

This is a difference in the concept of the times.

Zhao Yue knows better: a pervert like Deng Yun will die violently sooner or later. It is not retribution, but it will be exposed, which violates the bottom line of human nature and cannot be tolerated by society.

There is also the issue of edible resources.

A poor person like Deng Yun who opened a shop was limited to the privilege of this world, and meat was scarce and expensive, and he had no money to buy it, and he had to make more money to keep his brothers alive.

In modern society, merchants sell dog meat on the head of a sheep...... The various frauds committed by opening a restaurant are essentially just the death penalty of human nature and selling human meat buns.

The most important thing is that when the Jurchen beasts came to kill with swords and fierce flames, Huaxia was in trouble, and Deng Yun's generation at least dared to rush up to face the battle, just like the warlords in Sichuan during the Republic of China, instead of just waiting for others to shed blood and sacrifice to save them, just waiting to accept the invasion and be a smart obedient people, and provide a better slaughter Chinese for the Jurchens.

That kind of so-called kind person is a good person, and it is better to be a great villain who is cruel and cannibalistic but can bravely resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

As a ruler, the first task is to establish an environment where the people can live in prosperity and well-being, rather than eating delicious food, enjoying beautiful women like clouds, squandering the wealth that the people have worked so hard to create, majestic, decent, tall, and winner in life, and holding up the burp to condemn the people You are actually a beast is not as good as eating people. It is a pity that the rulers of the past will only use power and state violence to desperately seize resources and indulge in pleasure...... The overall situation is righteous, and the national interests are paramount...... In other words, they are all fooling the people into dedicating and sacrificing everything, including their lives, and the foothold is only for the ruler's own selfish interests and greed to do whatever he wants...... Just to be high up and decently "eat people".

This kind of factor is the reason why Zhao Yue was able to temporarily close his eyes and use Deng Yun to give him a chance to change.

The same goes for the dominatrix Sun Erniang and his wife.

The important thing is that when Zhao Yue met this vicious couple in the Water Margin, they were not so vicious as to wrap that kind of bun. So I took it. Because the couple is willing to work hard and have chivalrous feelings for the people, they are always enthusiastic and do their best to help the victims who come to the people in the work of receiving immigrants, and they have also been reused, and have since embarked on a truly correct chivalrous road.

Mrs. Zhu died, but her brother, Shui Jiao Zhuneng was responsible for selling salt and shipping, and did not work in the Sentinel Inn, so naturally he did not suffer in this matter.

When he heard the bad news, he couldn't help crying: his sister and brother-in-law are not smart people, they have no knowledge, and in the society of the Song Dynasty, they have no way out, and they have no place to live on, so they can only rely on some force and ferocity to help the poor brothers who are also helpless to survive in this difficult world...... With the organization, I thought it would be better from now on, but it turned out to be ......

Vowed to take revenge even if he died for his life......

Yuntai Mountain soon learned the news. And all the generals were furious.

Deng Yun likes to slaughter the rich but the wicked make steamed buns for the rich and noble who pass by, and the generals are also opposed to this kind of sick murder.

But Deng Yun has no other problems, he strives to restrain his hobbies, works hard, and is willing to take risks in obscurity outside since he came to Yuntai Mountain, and does his best to make a lot of contributions to the cottage. And it is not brutal enough, and it cannot deal with all kinds of murderous aggression of Manichaeism.

Manichaeism has long since ceased to be its original intention, and it has degenerated into a cult in order to recruit those who are strong in force and have the power to quickly increase their force. Many key characters in the religion have degenerated to the point that they have lost their conscience, and they do everything to harm heaven and reason, or they are not good things in the first place, and they are good at all kinds of insidious and vicious methods to harm people, and they are good at all kinds of insidious and vicious means of harming people, and they are willing to fight for the poor people to live a human life, vowing to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Song Dynasty, but in fact they only have more power to do evil as they want, and they also taste the rotten taste of being an official in order to establish the country and take power.

Say a thousand, say ten thousand, how can Deng Yun also be a copycat brother.

Kill my brother, how can you rest!

That's the way of the world.

The Morni Sect suffered a loss in the summer harvest plan, and did not dare to seek revenge from the pirates, and wanted to make a profit to fill the deficit and remove the hidden dangers in their hearts, so they hit the idea to Yuntai Mountain to vent their anger?

Come on, come on......

Manichaeism came.

Four or five thousand people disguised themselves as homeless people and armed to fish in troubled waters to attack the cottage. As a result, the too tall and sturdy cement wall was ridiculed, and it was blown down by only a huge black powder bag thrown down, and the frightened people left behind the dead and wounded to wipe their heads and wanted to retreat, but they were shot at the same time by more than a dozen bed crossbows exposed in the city......

Where to hide on the narrow mountain road?

Ba Yunchen and Wei Daoist led leaders such as Xu Pingsheng of Qianzhangkeng, Bingshan Han Tongyin, "Guan Tianxia", "Wu Heilong", "Manshan Hong", and "Hun Tianwang" rushed out of the cottage and killed the next pass, killing the Manichaean bandits and causing even worse casualties. Shui Jiao Zhu's ability to avenge his sister is even more crazy...... The Manichaean soldiers and horses had enough lives to escape.

Ba Yunchen and the others were about to further give the Manichaeism in Taizhou a little more color, but they received a telegram from Zhao Yue: abandon the village, transfer to the Zhoushan Islands and take up the immigration work........

When Fang La was furious and replaced with a strong general and heavy troops to retaliate again, the Yuntai Mountain Cottage was already empty, and the robbers were nowhere to be found, which made Fang La both hateful and secretly uneasy......

The work of receiving immigrants was not difficult, but it was too tiring, and the influx of people was too large, so it was arranged to shave hair, bathe, change clothes, and transport them to the south of Annam to land and go south to west...... Changing to land migration, reducing the burden and risk of shipping, is also a gradual resettlement of new immigrants along the way. The population that could not bear to continue the long journey was first dismantled and mixed, and gradually resettled in the Champa area, which was famous for its Champa rice, so that when the migrants reached the westernmost and farthest Asan Peninsula, they were also resettled.

Annan, who once bullied the Song Dynasty and was corrupt and bullied, often provoked and even blatantly offended the border, that is, the South Vietnamese tyrant who was traditionally accustomed to being an arrogant white-eyed wolf, and the stick and the two kingdoms were always accustomed to making fraud cheap, regardless of the most basic system and face that the country and the nation should have and had no faith, and most liked to betray and arrogantly bite the benefactor, although it has not destroyed the country now, it still exists independently, but it has long been intimidated by the pirate state and honestly dedicated all the wealth accumulated from ancient times to the present.

Moreover, the rice-producing holy land that was originally occupied by Annam, Champa and the area south of it, has been carved out, and it is a treasure land for the empire to settle the Chinese people.

Annam is now just a small part of North Vietnam.

Zhao Yue did not push for the early destruction of this small savage country with the original sin of history, and the most profound and ruthless lesson given to it was due to a variety of considerations.

There are enough slaves in the empire, and any more is not a good thing, but a social management risk.

Keep it and let this nation manage it first, officials, kings, and heroes...... I feel that I am still the ruler who can be the master of pleasure, the grass people, I feel that I am still an independent, dignified and free person, and I have a sense of luck, so I can better dedicate food and minerals to the empire...... You don't have to manage the empire itself and have to bother to face all kinds of rebellions......

There was a hiccup.

The most difficult thing in the occupation of South Asia is not how to clean up the so-called powerful countries, but how to clean up the hidden dangers of the savage tribes in the jungle.

Jungle savages are also primitive people, and they also have the right to live, as they seem to know justice as they appear in movies and television, and often play a positive role, and have the jungle skills that people in civilized society do not have, and can always help American GIs and explorers overcome disasters and defeat evil enemies and save the world, and savages also have advantages and loveliness...... In fact, it is mostly, it is a kind of politically correct propaganda that reflects human nature, and of course, it is more to cater to everyone's psychology and attract and earn our silver.

What a savage is like is mainly our imagination from the perspective of our own understanding.

The problems faced by Zhao Yue in the Song Dynasty and South Asian savages were: ignorant, stubborn, and ferocious, there were many unthinkable and incomprehensible and even inhumane customs that could not be understood and accepted by civilized societies, and they only knew how to plunder, plunder nature, and plunder all human beings who were different from their group, and many times also included killing each other within the tribe, just like animals fighting for food and mating rights for the throne, everything that could be eaten in the treacherous nature was food in their eyes, and cannibalism was a normal phenomenon, a need for survival, and a custom. When food is scarce, when he sees a lone person, he goes up and knocks him to death with a stick, and eats it like any other wild animal, or eats the weaker in the tribe: the elderly, children, and women. When I meet a female I like, I catch it back and sleep, and when I sleep enough or become a burden, I bake and eat it, and the same goes for the male. There is also a problem with IQ, just like primitive people, it cannot be transformed, it will only destroy nature and civilized society. Savages are accustomed to absolute freedom, and can't tolerate the constraints and rules of normal society, such as small things like stopping at red lights and going at green lights, savages don't understand, the road is to walk, how to go, which so many words. Which woman or man you like, whether you want to or not, as long as he can violently subdue him, he can do it anywhere, and he needs to do it in the house to avoid people? He is used to doing whatever he wants, and he can't adapt to the normal social environment, so he can only live a primitive life in the jungle, which is a humanoid beast that must be completely cleaned up from the jungle.

But if you want to eradicate the wild people in the dangerous and strange tropical jungle where there are too many giant python poisonous insects that can easily take people's lives, it is too difficult, and you can't afford to pay that price, and you can't solve the problem.

So Zhao Yue thought of a way: eradicate the coastal countries and take all the people away, leaving a blank......

As soon as the savages saw that the strong enemies of the country and the nation that they could not get and always threatened their survival were gone, but there were crops growing in the fields, and more comfortable houses could be occupied at will, they would inevitably go out of the forest to occupy them, which was many times better than the dangerous and difficult primeval jungle life, which was not obtained before, no way, now? What's more?

Of course, I will be vigilant, but a month has passed, half a year has passed, and even a year has passed, there is no danger, I am used to a beautiful new life, my vigilance is reduced, I fall into the daily tediousness of life, and I also taste the sweetness, and I am unwilling to leave and return to the jungle, but, the pirate heavy army suddenly and quietly outflanked and blocked the ......

It is still inevitable that wild people will flee into the jungle, but they will not form groups, there will be no tribes, reproduction will become a problem, and the meager strength will not be able to resist the danger of the jungle, and eventually become extinct.
