CHAPTER XXV
After hearing Zhu Da's answer, Xiang Bo nodded, walked to Li Zongqi and whispered a few words, Li Zongqi Li Ji looked at Zhu Da in surprise, with obvious hesitation on his face, Xiang Bo turned to Zhu Da and beckoned, signaling him to go over.
When Zhu Da stood on the earthen platform, the bottom was not so chaotic, this was not his credit, when Xiang Bo went over just now, many villagers had already paid attention.
Pay attention, the chaos is still continuing, and Xiang Bo and Li Zongqi have no intention of coming forward to help stop, but Zhou Qingyun, who was standing on the side, was very anxious, wanting to help but not knowing how to help.
Zhu Da understood that this was a test, if even the crowd couldn't be quiet, don't mention anything else, it wasn't that the adults were embarrassed, but it was indeed a little strange for a twelve-year-old boy to get there, he turned his head and looked, Li Ying still had a bangzi pinned to his waist, Zhu Da walked over to come, and began to beat hard.
The sound of "Dangdangdang" sounded, and the shouting, scolding, pushing, and crying below finally stopped, even if the scene was quiet, Zhu Da's beating did not stop, and he did not stop until the villagers had irritable expressions on their faces.
The earthen platform is only two feet high, Zhu Da stood on it, and looked at the three hundred pairs of eyes below, and his heart was a little weak, even if there was no such moment in his life for more than 20 years, but he could still hold on, after all, he had seen too many scenes, and he knew how to learn to do it if he didn't know how to do it.
"Fellow villagers, elders, Mr. Li asked me to say a few words to you." Zhu Da raised his voice and said, first bring out the little god Li Zongqi.
The villagers below all looked at Zhu Da, not that they were suppressed, but that they had tossed too much just now, and everyone needed to rest and breathe for a while, just listen by the way.
"No one wants to bring their own grain and grass to work, needless to say, everyone is reluctant to go to the first wave, are you afraid that this wave will pass, what will happen after a month, and those who go early will suffer a loss, and those who go late can always think of a way, drill a loophole or something, or even not go."
After Zhu Da said this, the villagers below looked at each other and did not say anything, because what he said was the truth, and the little calculation in the hearts of the villagers was directly exposed.
"Eat at home with three taels, go out to eat with a catty, after we pay the rent, we have to count on the grain in our hands to last next year's harvest, it is not enough, if anyone is on a business trip, a person eats two months a month, how can it hold up next year, are you worried about this?"
The villagers were in a commotion, and the look of those who didn't go was secretly glad, the expression of the name was anxious, and they had to argue out loud, Zhu Da stretched out his hand and pressed down, everyone followed quietly, and his two speeches were clear and clear, which already made people feel that they could listen to it, everyone's heart was in a mess, and it was good for someone to analyze and understand.
"Is this errand something that you can't go to if you don't go? Can't, can you resist the past? Can't, let's toss here again, as soon as the old man's family comes on horseback and with a knife, when the time comes, not only will they have to go on errands, but also have to suffer from skin and flesh, and they will have to pay money and give gifts, and at that time, the debt will be greater, can we not go? ”
Zhu Da's continuous self-questioning and self-answering made everyone speechless, and those who were named became more and more anxious and wanted to refute it out loud.
"Fellow villagers, these thirty people are not going for their own families, but for more than 100 families in our Baibao Village, so the grain and grass they bring can't be out of their own homes, everyone shares according to the number of households, each family doesn't need to cut meat, if there is any change in a month, it won't be impossible to go."
"It's time for them to go, why should everyone share the foil!" One person shouted loudly, and the people next to him were all following him, if he didn't come out, who cared if the others lived or died.
As soon as he said this, there was a commotion below, but Xiang Bo's face turned cold, and he looked at the person who made the sound, the person shrank, but the others were still shouting, and they couldn't hold it down for a while, Xiang Bo thought that this was going to be messed up, but he didn't expect Zhu Da to continue to speak.
"The people who came out of Ding are also for our hundred households, don't just look at this winter, if these thirty families are broken, the land is collected or wasted, the rent and taxes they bear will be spread to everyone, and when the time comes, we will all plant the same land, but we have to pay a few percent more rent, how long can we last!"
At this time, it was completely quiet below, and only Zhu Da's slightly immature voice floated: "Don't talk about paying rent, the population in the village is small, and outsiders are involved, can you still live this life?" When fighting for land and water with other hundreds of households, can you still fight for it? Now there are thieves outside, after a long time, outsiders know that our village has a small population, and it is easy to start, our population is so small, how can we prevent it, in the end, this time others will not share it, next time it is your turn, what will you do? ”
"Even if there is no one left, this land must be planted by people, our health center is a field that has been passed down from generation to generation, one less person makes up for one person, there is no one, our village is still those people." Someone said hesitantly.
Zhu Da sneered a few times on the stage, and said disdainfully: "The big master is staring at our land!" Our village is close to the river, all of which are watered with good water, and it is finally vacated, how can it be arranged again, not only to take it yourself, but to give you a few pieces of backing mountains and not relying on water, there is nowhere to cry! ”
After saying this, the villagers were completely quiet, looking at each other, the tense expression just now gradually eased down, but Li Zongqi, who was standing behind, had a very unsightly face, hesitated, or turned his head and asked Xiang Bo and said, "The big man stared at the ground, did you say it to the child?" Woe to you! ”
"The old man doesn't know this, but today this kid said that I realized that the watering of the land in our village is indeed remembered, but I am afraid that this Ding is also related to this, and these old men are waiting to come and collect the land!" Xiang Bo replied in a muffled voice.
The two glanced at each other, and Xiang Bo frowned and asked, "Mr. Li, you haven't been involved in this matter!" ”
"I'm mixed with this, I'm the general banner of these hundred households, if Juntian is swallowed from above, the first person to cry is me, or Wang Baihu can see it, go to Datong early to do business, and keep my unbearable hardship!" Li Zongqi's words were not very polite.
After sighing, both of them looked at Zhu Da in front of them, and Li Zongqi said with emotion: "This kid is really enlightened, I usually can't understand these truths, I never thought that he would make it clear, I don't know who taught it." ”
Although he knew that Zhu Da apprenticed to Xiang Yue, Li Zongqi didn't think that Xiang Yue could teach it at all, and Xiang Yue was also very calm about this: "I don't know who taught it, but he can say it so clearly, and he is also very capable." ”
With Baibao Village being so conservative and closed, except for a few who have seen the world, the vast majority of people are living in a muddy state, and Zhu Da's insight into what he said just now Xiang Yue and Li Zongqi Li Ji couldn't consciously say it, and they couldn't think clearly.
Zhu Da didn't think he was smart, but he knew that he was much smarter than the villagers, and the words of the two adults behind him Zhu Da heard it very clearly, and he analyzed the covetousness of the command and thousands of households over the land, but this is not a difficult thing, the bits and pieces of memories in the past twelve years, the discussions of parents and villagers, all kinds of rumors, these words are nothing more than daily life, but if you think about it carefully, there is a lot of information in it.
In addition to the risks faced by this White Fort Village, the rest of the analysis is the basic skills that people who have received normal education, normal learning, and normal work for more than 20 years, and in school, in society, and in that information explosion environment, as long as they are not too lazy and self-abandoning, they will always develop such logical analysis and rational thinking.
But the normal and ordinary of more than 20 years are extraordinary in this era, Zhu Da looked at the contemplative villagers, and suddenly felt confident in his heart, and suddenly felt that he was very strong, he may not have adapted to this cannibalistic society, and he must work hard to learn martial arts, learn the ability to kill and hurt people, but he also has advantages, systematic learning, extensive miscellaneous news, and exercise and practice to deal with complex situations, this is his advantage, and it is a great advantage.
Zhu Da originally didn't realize this, because he felt that everything he had learned and experienced in the past 20 years was so taken for granted, just like a fish in the water and a bird in the sky, but the experience of these days made Zhu Da know that all this is not so taken for granted, he suddenly thought of one thing, when in class, the teacher once said an allusion, you don't study seriously now, because you take going to school for granted, and you take it for granted to go to college, you know that the past fifteen years, How many people can only go to school for six years? You can't even go to school for six years, and you know that in the first 30 years, a lot of people can't go to school? Did you know that in the old days, it was hard to even live?
At that time, everyone was indifferent, even if Zhu Da himself was born in a welfare home, he didn't think that the teacher described how to motivate people, isn't food and clothing education the most basic? It wasn't until Zhu Da himself went to society and learned more that he realized that there were still remnants of what the teacher said in China, and it was still common in poor countries outside, and everything was not so taken for granted.
At this time, looking at the villagers below, Zhu Da suddenly felt full of pride and ambition, he clenched his fists hard, not to cheer up, but to calm himself down, in the final analysis, he is still a young man from a poor peasant family, no matter what ambitions, no matter what skills, the most important thing now is to survive, survive well, and adapt more to this era, so that he is qualified to talk about others.
“...... What the Zhu family kid said also makes sense, they are all from the same village, and it makes no sense for others to work for our family, so we don't help at all......"
The discussion sounded again, and everyone gradually became reasonable, at this time, no one said why the thin Zhu family didn't go, this was not because of Xiang Bo's deterrence, but because of it was taken for granted.
