This congress of the elderly in the base area started with Lu Shi himself wanting to hold himself as soon as possible, but again and again in line with the traditional habit of the base meeting to go off topic, starting from the entire process of the wedding to the cost of the wedding, it was still within the controllable range, and then, things began to go off topic.

"The wedding of the king, this is a very important matter, it must be done with unlimited scenery, and let the people, let those local tyrants and inferior gentry who laugh at our local buns and rogue gangsters, and those bastard courts see our demeanor and appearance." With a wave of his hand, Mr. Li raised Lu Shi's wedding to a political level.

"Yes, that's right, let's take this opportunity to let the world see our regularity." Chen Ce and Zhao Zi clapped their hands in agreement.

"Okay, okay." Guo Tianxing, the person who loves to be lively the most, of course, agreed with both hands, "We must make our King Chuang's wedding lively, and when the time comes, I have to drink him in the dark." Speaking of this, he took a sip of the large bowl of herbal tea in his hand and wiped his mouth, as if it was already Lu Shi's happy wine.

"Seize every opportunity to promote ourselves, so that the people of the world can better understand us and see us clearly, this is the opportunity." Zhao Xing also stood up to join in the fun, and the publicity was also under his control, of course, he would not give up any opportunity.

"Just now, our mothers-in-law and grandfathers have said a lot of things we should do, and at the same time, several of our literati have also recalled in detail the rules of the next week's ceremony, and I believe that this big wedding, the first big happy event in this base area, will be successfully handled." Mr. Li is the chief director of the big wedding and makes a summary in the middle.

This emcee or he almost fought with Chen Cewu, and Chen Ce carefully looked at Mr. Li's figure, complexion, spirit, and strong fighting spirit, and made a comprehensive comparison in his heart, only in line with a master of ceremonies, as the future head of the shop, the head of the entire Shaanxi civil officials, of course, there is no need to fight for the mentality, gave up this sesame mung bean-like position, so Mr. Li won the top spot in the civil officials with his burly figure and brave and ruthless character.

There were also those who were eager to try, such as Wu Tao, but after Mr. Li's gushing description of the wedding procedure, he gave up fighting on the grounds that the military generals did not understand Sven etiquette.

Now, he began to make intermediate arguments.

"However, we say a thousand things and ten thousand, and the last question still has to fall on a money word as early as possible."

Yes, if you want to do this well according to everyone's wishes, you really need money, a lot of money.

There used to be money in the base area, but after two major wars, the money was spent like flowing water, especially now that the whole of Shaanxi has fallen into the hands, those people in various places need relief, the sacrificed soldiers need to be compensated, the surrendered officers and soldiers need to be appeased, and the production in the coming year needs to be prepared, and so on.

However, these can not all be done in RMB, for no other reason, now Shaanxi has just recovered, a large number of materials can not be self-sufficient, need to buy from the surrounding provinces, then need real money, but, with the original base of the deposit, is already a drop in the bucket, if the RMB is issued indiscriminately, it will not only destroy the RMB, the most important thing, will also lose the hearts of the people. So, money is the root of everything.

So, Mr. Li looked at the stunned Lu Shi.

Lu Shi saw Mr. Li looking at him, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately understood, and the cold sweat came down, if it weren't for the fact that the chair he sat on was very strong, and it was made of the best yellow rosewood in the local area, Lu Shi would definitely sit on the ground, and then, or that sentence, if it weren't for the fact that the back of the chair was really strong, Lu Shi would have leaned over and fell on all fours, if it weren't for the deep winter, the house just put the brazier in front of the representatives of his mother-in-law and grandfather because of frugality, Lu Shi would definitely be more watery than falling in the river.

There is no other reason for all this, that is, all the actions and processes of the old man's old man, as well as the induction of the scriptures and classics by the group of literati led by Mr. Li, and the huge amount of money required for the goods were frightened.

Looking at King Chuang, whose lips were purple and his face was snow-white, Mr. Li looked at everyone proudly.

After Mr. Li saw it, everyone's expression immediately compared with Lu Shiyou, for no other reason, the amount of this silver money is indeed too big, although everyone has shares in the factory in the base area, but those who originally thought it was a huge wealth in their leisure time now seem to be equal to a drop in the bucket, if everyone is allowed to work together to complete this big project, it is simply a move to let everyone return to the pre-liberation overnight.

Zhao Zi knew Lu Shi's personality and knew that he had no money, so he whispered: "Why don't we let the people take out a little." In his opinion, when the emperor gets married, it is normal for the people to take a little from the people, or to say that the people are willing to donate.

At this time, the representatives of the people expressed their approval, in their opinion, the marriage of the king, everyone should naturally get some shares, as has been the case in all dynasties, as long as it is not excessive, everyone is willing to accept.

So, the hall became enthusiastic again, this one said that this project could recruit some masters to work for nothing, so that they could save as much as they could, and the other said that the matter could be handed over to the merchants, so that they could save a few if they were willing to donate something, and even more nimble brains simply wanted to organize a yamen to be responsible for the problem of collecting the master's money for the financial wedding.

However, at this time, Lu Shi no longer had the same heart as he had at the beginning, listening to everyone's gossip discussion, it seemed that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

At this time, a person jumped out, and Li Chunhou, who wanted to be a minister, of course jumped out and objected loudly. Said a serious off-topic remark.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the reason why we are leading the people to pick up swords and guns to fight against the government? And what is the reason why the people willingly follow us to pick up swords and guns? Stay alive. Li Chunhou blushed and shouted excitedly: "And the reason why we have to fight is that we can't live." ”

Everyone nodded together, remembering the suffering at the beginning, some people were already panting, and there were already whimpering and crying from the mother-in-law.

"But why can't we live? Is it really a natural disaster? He asked loudly again, but immediately answered his own question: "Then, the same great drought and the same land, why can King Chuang come and let us be fed, let us live, and let us live with dignity?" ”

Not a single voice answered him, he was like a fighter, standing in the middle of the hall, so that all the people did not dare to look up.

"It is we who have no land, and the king of Chuang has given us, it is the excesses of taxes that make us unable to live, and the king of Chuang has exempted them, it is the heavy conscription that has made us unable to live, it is the king of Chuang who has exempted them, it is the heavy pressure of the people who have breathless taxes that have made us unable to live, and the king of Chuang has exempted them, and the unequal deprivation has made us unable to live, and the king has exempted them, this is what we can live, this is what we are willing to follow the king, to follow his declaration of the city gate and be willing to die, this is what we have come to this day, And the reason why it will definitely go further. ”

Everyone nodded their heads together, and everyone understood this truth deeply.

"But why is the levy tax apportioned for the wedding of King Chuang?" Li Chunhou stared at Mr. Li tightly like a fighting, making Mr. Li panic and dodge, and he was embarrassed.

"Just a little, a little. Only this once. Zhao Zi regretted that he had such a bad idea at that time, and defended himself in a low voice.

Li Chunhou immediately turned the spearhead to Zhao Zi: "Can you guarantee that this is the last time?" No, because of this, according to Zhou Li, King Chuang will have three palaces and six concubines and seventy-two partial concubines in the future, so is it the first time every time? Zhao Zi was speechless, Lu Shi was embarrassed, what is this. A Chunlan has already satisfied herself and made herself in infinite love, how did she come up with a seventy-two partial concubines in three palaces and six courtyards.

"Huh." Li Chunhou clapped his hands and sneered, "Since you can't put an end to the second time, then there will be a third time, and then there is a reason for King Chuang's wedding, so will you use the reason for King Chuang's birth in the future, and the reason why King Chuang will build a house?" Is there too much reason for it in the future? ”

All the people in the room were speechless.

"So, what are we fighting against? Anyway, we will still have to pay the things that cost people's lives to the imperial court in the future, so why should we fight to die? We might as well live reluctantly, and then, we will slowly die in that kind of reluctance, I can't say-" After scanning all the people in the room, he said sadly: "Then maybe we will live a little longer, why bother to die immediately like the brothers who died in the first battle of Weinan and the first battle in Jixian?" So, what is the point of fighting in the first battle of Mizhi, the first battle of blocking the door, the first battle of Yanchuan Breakout, and so on? ”

Dead silence, really dead silence.

However, Lu Shi's cold sweat surged out again, for no other reason, but to think of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the later life. At the same time, he knew like a lightning bolt why he had just felt wrong.

For such a long time, it is indeed too smooth, so smooth that everyone has begun to blur the original intention of the original incident, blur their own oath and their own responsibilities, and blur everything that should not be blurred, and now, by this later Li Chunhou, everyone has come to their senses, and only then have they taken these new old brothers to no longer follow the old path of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations.

Now, the brothers sitting here are all based areas, and the upper echelons and upper echelons of the army are already like this, so are those soldiers and brothers below even more so? In this way, the short-sighted group will quickly degenerate and will go into a catastrophe from which it will never recover.

Lu Shi stood up, due to excessive sweat, his body seemed to be a little out of strength, and when he stood up, he couldn't help but shake, Chunlan stepped forward and wanted to help, but Lu Shi shook off her hand for the first time, and staggered towards Li Chunhou, and then in front of everyone's eyes, he gave a deep salute and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Mr., for the blow of Daigo's empowerment, which reminded us of our original intentions and our city gate declaration, so that we will not be defeated tomorrow." ”
