Yazhou has been known as the "rain city" since ancient times, and is known for its rain, and there is a saying that it rains 300 days a year. Mengding Mountain is the center of the rain city, and it rains continuously all year round. This warm and humid climate is very suitable for the growth of tea plants, so it has become the birthplace of Chinese artificial tea plants. However, as the global climate entered the Xiaoice Age, Mengding Mountain also suffered an extremely rare drought last year, but fortunately, the situation was not serious. Tea trees are only reduced in production and downgrade, and not many dry up and die.

Zhu Pingjin had a good night's sleep last night, and when he set off in the morning, he was refreshed and full of spirits. As the group entered the mouth of the gorge, the mountains on both sides suddenly increased and narrowed, and the river no longer soothed and flowed, but became rushing and agitating. Zhu Pingjin and others, under the leadership of Cao Santai, carefully passed through a narrow valley full of water vapor and no sunlight, and immediately left the river, climbed around half of the mountain, and a bamboo fence wall suddenly appeared in front of the road.

Two beggar-looking people were squatting by the wall, and when they saw Zhu Pingjin and his party, they immediately turned around and ran back, shouting as they ran: "Mr. Shu, the owner is here!" ”

Shu Guoping greeted Zhu Pingjin and his party at the checkpoint. Shu Guoping was dressed in a bright red arrow sleeve suit, which made his complexion extraordinarily energetic; He was tied with a brocade belt around his waist, and a sword was hung, and he walked very heroically. After receiving Zhu Pingjin's notice on the eighth day of the first lunar month, he set off with a little preparation, and arrived at Mengding Mountain on the day of the Lantern Festival, one day earlier than the grass marks that walked slowly along the way. Zhu Pingjin introduced the group to Shu Guoping, took Shu Guoping's hand and got on the horse, and went straight to the barracks.

The group made a few more turns on the mountain road, and the front suddenly opened up. Looking flat, there is a house on the slope of the hill, and a flat dam below the house. Shu Guoping said, this is the barracks where the displaced people are stationed. In order to avoid the erosion of the body by the damp, the mountain people generally do not build their houses in mountain cols, but on the gentle and warm sunny slopes of the mountains.

On the flat dam, the grass markers gathered the whole team to greet their main master.

"All of them! Attention! Take a break, stand upright! Song Zhenzong ran over from the front of the team, and the iron armor leaves on his body were rattling, how weird it looked. Song Zhenzong's right forearm is stretched inward, the palm is touching the chest, and the palm is straight; With his left hand upright and his palm close to his armor, he saluted Zhu Pingjin with a lame new-style military salute: "Report to the world!" The number of members of the caravan should have been three hundred and fifty-one, but it was three hundred and forty-seven, two on duty, and two who were sick and bedridden. Please check it out! Temporarily organize the caravan captain Song Zhenzong! ”

"Please take a break!"

Song Zhenzong ran back to the queue with a clatter, and there was an extra bamboo stick in his hand:

"All of them! At ease! ”。

According to the provisions in the concise training manual sent by Zhu Pingjin to Song Zhenzong, the next step in the review procedure should be that Zhu Pingjin passed by in front of the queue with his head held high and shouted as he walked, under the gaze of the merchant guards! Brethren have worked hard! ”。 However, Zhu Pingjin temporarily changed this procedure, he didn't want to play prestige in front of a group of people who had just eaten a full meal.

Zhu Pingjin jumped down from his horse, pointed to the front of the queue and said, "Move a stool, this son wants to speak!" ”

A bench was soon moved. Zhu Pingjin stepped forward, propped his hands on his buttocks, and began to make his first important speech to GM Tinder.

Here's how the speech began:

"This prince made a special trip from Chengdu Mansion to visit you today, just to find out one thing. Figure out which one thing? This son of the world knows that you have only eaten for a few days! This son also knows that you are shivering with cold now! Now this son asks you, do you want to eat enough in the future? Do you want to warm up right away? ”

The heads of the people in the team shook, and a few weak voices came out: "Think." ”

Song Zhenzong was urgently reviewing his military training book, and when he heard the beggars' weak answers, he immediately stuffed the pamphlet into his armor, waved his stick and roared angrily: "Didn't you eat in the morning? Ben wouldn't have heard! ”

"Yes!"

The voices in the group were louder, but there was still no momentum. Song Zhenzong was about to roar again, but Zhu Pingjin stopped him with a gesture. Zhu Pingjin pointed to a tall man in the team and said, "You answered the loudest, okay, you are out of the ranks." Yes, that's you! You're the tallest! ”

A young man in ragged clothes in his twenties looked left and right, and finally determined that Zhu Pingjin was calling him. He squirmed out of the queue and squeezed the front row into a crooked one. The young man stood in front of Zhu Pingjin, so nervous that he couldn't help but bend his legs and kneel.

"Stand upright! Report your name to the Son! Song Zhenzong walked over quickly with a bamboo stick in his hand.

Zhu Pingjin waved his hand to Song Zhenzong, jumped off the stool, and asked the young man with a warm smile, "What's your name?" Where are you from? ”

The tall young man replied very seriously: "Xiaomin Chen is blessed! He was born in Xinning County, Dazhou, Kuizhou (now Kaijiang County). ”

"Oh, you're from Chuandong. Do you want to eat and dress warmly? ”

When Zhu Pingjin talks to the grassroots people, he always has a warm and cordial smile. This habitual smile has taken effect today.

Under the inspiration of Zhu Pingjin, the young man finally let go of the burden in his heart and said the first truth: "Why don't you want to? I dreamed of it! ”

"Why do you want to be fed and clothed?"

This question is obviously nonsense. But Zhu Pingjin believes in the beggar's grass mark of the Ming Dynasty, and he will never be able to answer an answer such as "this is human instinct".

Sure enough, the tall young man picked his scalp, stumped by this simple question.

Zhu Pingjin continued to smile, and was kind and seductive: "Eat and dress warmly, do you want to live?" ”

It's that simple! The tall young man suddenly realized: "Yes! I want to live! ”

Zhu Pingjin got the result he wanted, so he asked the young man to return to the team, stood on the bench again and shouted: "Just now, Chen Youfu said that he wants to be fed and clothed, and he wants to live!" Do you want to? ”

This time, the queue was really louder and much more tidy.

"Yes!"

Zhu Pingjin was finally able to make his speech with the response of the audience: "Chen Youfu wants to live, you also want to live, General Song wants to live, Mr. He and Mr. Shu want to live, and this son also wants to live, who in the world doesn't want to live?!" But you're here today because you can't live! That's why you've left your homeland! Sell sons and daughters! In the end, I even sold my own grass label! You know who kept you from living?! ”

The emotions of the audience have been completely ignited by Zhu Pingjian. It is not the first time that Zhu Pingjin has spoken to so many people in public, and his long-term experience in grassroots work and D-affairs work has given him the opportunity to practice his speech at small meetings of the congress many times and to communicate and interact with the masses.

At first it looked neat, and the queue had completely dispersed. The Hanako told all kinds of encounters below, and some of them squatted on the ground and wept bitterly as they spoke.

Zhu Pingjin and the other crowd calmed down a little, and immediately summarized the reason why they couldn't survive on behalf of everyone: "Chen Youfu can't survive, it's a local tyrant!" The thugs robbed his family of food, leaving not even a single seed. General Song can't survive, it was caused by cowardly and incompetent corrupt officials in the court! When the corrupt officials saw the money, they grabbed it first, and they collapsed first, causing only two of his 20 brothers to escape. Shu Xian can't live, it's a thief! The thieves broke through Luzhou and killed the people of the city, and Mr. Shu was the only one left in more than 100 people. There are other people, some of whom were forced to rent by the yamen, and some were forced by the taxation of the gentry! Some of you say that you can't survive, it's because God is angry, drought falls, and grain production is reduced, so there are thieves and local tyrants, and the court will collect heavy taxes. This is completely wrong! We Sichuan is known as the land of abundance. No matter how poor and high the place is, God can always let the land produce food, so that we can eat our bellies. You can't live because the thieves have robbed you of your things! It's because the corrupt officials of the court have robbed you of your things! Do you know that our emperor, thinking that the people have no food to eat, only drink a few bowls of porridge and water every day to satisfy their hunger, and there are patches everywhere on the dragon robe! Do you know that in order to raise money to buy you, this son secretly sold the treasures handed down by his ancestors in the palace! Do you know that the princess of my Shu Domain, who is the daughter-in-law of this world, shows up to work in the workshop in Chengdu! Why, just to save your lives! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Pingjin was moved to tears by his greatness. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve and continued to shout to the beggars: "If we want to live, we must kill all the thieves and defeat the corrupt officials!" ”

Zhu Pingjin said this, and finally said his purpose! Shout out his heart!

He Youyi was the first to rush to Zhu Pingjin's stool, raised his right hand clenched fist, and shouted: "Kill all the thieves and bring down the corrupt officials!" Loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to the Son! ”

Someone took the lead, Song Zhenzong, Song Zhensi, Cao Sanbao, Cao Santai and others were not to be outdone, and they also rushed up and raised their fists and shouted.

"Kill all the thieves and bring down the corrupt officials! Loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to the Son! ”

The crowd erupted in deafening shouts. Years of hunger and cold, years of oppression and humiliation, once ignited, are like an erupting volcano, mercilessly destroying anything that stands in its way. Zhu Pingjin has only one remaining task, which is to guide it to burn to the enemy without burning himself.

Zhu Pingjin stood on the bench, propped up his butt and looked around, looking at the ignited anger with great ambition.

At this moment, the prince, the scholar, the general, the eunuch and a group of beggars went crazy together, forming a bizarre picture.

After speaking, the team disbanded.

He Youyi walked up to Zhu Pingjin and handed over the transcript full of ink in both hands: "Shizi, the minister thinks that Shizi's speech today should be kept forever. In the future, it will be compiled into a book and passed on to future generations! ”

Zhu Pingjin looked at Sun Hong with a smile, and then smiled and said to a few people around him: "The speech of this son can be kept." It may not be passed on to future generations, but it is a new outcast, and you can tell them about it again! Mr. He, Mr. Shu, you can also talk about your own experience. Why a dozen thieves, why a dozen corrupt officials. Ben Shizi suddenly had an idea, maybe in a few years, on the top of this Mengding Mountain, build a high pagoda, and then find a painter to paint this mountain, this tower, Ben Shizi, two gentlemen, two generals, Yun Ge'er, and a group of people named Huazi. You, the two fathers-in-law, also draw it. This painting can be passed on to future generations! ”
