Chapter 22 The Root of the Problem, Big Things Are Wrong

The cold wind is bleak, located in the north of the Yongjing Army, but at this time it is a lively scene. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

A few days ago, Lin Chong swept away the villas of Yinmachuan, Lianyunzhai, Toad Mountain, and Hutou Mountain, and transferred the money, food, and property of the other three places to the best terrain of Yinmachuan Cottage.

After that, Lin Chong made a decision again, and asked Deng Fei Mengkang to lead his subordinates to command the surviving minions in the four cottages to go to various villages and towns in the four townships and eight towns to distribute food and some looted but useless property in the cottages, and at the same time began to recruit people.

I also want to thank Zhao Ji and Cai Jing, a group of faint kings and traitors, who are too bone-sucking and sucking the marrow of the people, exploiting and squeezing; The treatment given by Lin Chong was too tempting.

Especially later, Du Yan made his own opinion, as long as the registration is willing to go with us, half of the settling-in allowance will be issued as soon as the person arrives, that is, 15 yuan per person.

As a result, these poor people in the local towns and towns who have been oppressed all the year round and have not had enough to eat and cannot wear warm clothes have gone crazy all of a sudden.

In the past few days, the number of people who have signed up for Yinmachuan has exceeded 3,000 at once.

When there are more people, there are more things.

There were only more than 300 people in Yinmachuan before, and there were so many houses, but now that so many people have come at once, they all have to settle down.

Fortunately, there were enough military tents left before Lin Chong left, and there were many clothes and leather pads in the cottage, plus these people who came to sign up were all strong guys, although the weather was cold, there was barely any problem with accommodation.

It's just that so many people came at once, Rao is Du Yan was the master of a village before, but he was still busy with management.

However, this situation has also improved after Zhao Xuan's health has improved.

Du Yan really didn't expect that this Zhao Xuan was not the kind of useless and only boastful sour cuo, but he had some ability.

Thinking of the career that the military master's brother wants to do, as well as the importance of talents, after a few days of inspection, Du Yi is ready to give the truth to Zhao Xuan and accept Zhao Xuan as the instructor or management civilian official of the Liangshan Army.

Rare good weather, this afternoon, after arranging the day's affairs, the two came to the front mountain gate, while enjoying the scenery of the Drinking Horse River, while drinking tea and talking.

Originally, Du Yan wanted to test Zhao Xuan, but as soon as Du Yan said a few words, Zhao Xuan said very seriously: "Du Gongzi, I know what you want to say, but it's not necessary at all."

Maybe Du Gong doesn't know, I have an abnormal love with Erniang, and I wanted to die as soon as Erniang went, and I was good to be with Erniang on Huangquan Road.

I never thought that Lin Guanren saved me, and let me take revenge on the enemy, this great favor Zhao Xuan can't repay even if he is a cow and a horse for a lifetime.

Zhao Xuan had already sworn in his heart that he would be loyal to Lin Guanren in this life, and he would never have two hearts. ”

Du Yan nodded, indicating that he understood Zhao Xuan's words very well.

However, during this period of time, Du Yan has been by Lin Chong's side almost every day, and he is a person who loves to think, and he has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from Lin Chong.

At this time, seeing that Zhao Xuan was just thinking of repaying his kindness, but he didn't realize the root of the problem at all, Du Yan naturally couldn't help but show off.

And Du Yan felt that only in this way could Zhao Xuan identify with Liang Shanjun more, be more heartfelt, and at the same time work better for Liang Shanjun, rather than simply to repay his kindness.

So he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhao, has you ever thought about the root cause of these tragedies, what is the problem?" ”

Zhao Xuan didn't think about it: "Naturally, it's Yuan Chong's evil thief, this person is cruel in nature, destroys human nature, and does all kinds of evil." ”

Du Yan shook his head, and said in the tone of Lin Chong's explanation like him: "This is just the most superficial reason. Yuan Chong is not wrong to be a thief, there is no shortage of such thieves and villains in this world.

But speaking of which, this Yuan Chong doesn't have any ability, if he is the only one, how can he do so many evil things?

I'm afraid that this guy will either starve to death early, or be beaten to death by passing merchants. ”

Zhao Xuan said: "You mean, the problem is with his minions? ”

Du Yan nodded: "It was these minions who gave him strength and strength, and at the same time he guided these minions to become bad little by little, so a group of bandits who had lost their conscience was formed." ”

Zhao Xuan thought for a while, nodded in agreement, but then shook his head and said: "But Deng Fei, Meng Kang, aren't they also bandits, why do they only scare people and rob money, but they don't hurt people?" So it's because Yuan Chong is cruel by nature! ”

Du Yanxin said that this scholar is a dead brain, why did he come back to the words.

At the moment, he was not annoyed, and continued: "You are right, so except for a few people who are cruel by nature, in fact, most people are about the same at the beginning, not much good, not much bad.

For example, the same people of Hebei Province were brave and good at fighting in the former Tang Dynasty or the Five Dynasties, but in the Song Dynasty, they became mediocre; Another example is the same farmer in Hebei Province, who didn't dare to do bad things if he followed Deng Fei, and did all the bad things when he followed Yuan Chong.

This is because their guidance is different, because ordinary people are the easiest to be guided and shaped.

In the pre-Tang Dynasty or the Five Dynasties period, when everyone was martial and the status of the warriors was high, the natural people at that time were brave and good at fighting;

In the Song Dynasty, the martial arts were the most looked down upon, and the soldiers of the forbidden army needed to tattoo words on their faces, and they were also scolded as thieves with the army, and the soldiers were naturally unwilling to fight to the death, and their combat effectiveness was low. ”

Du Yan stood up and looked at Zhao Xuandao: "But this is not something I want to discuss with you, I mean that if so many people were not forced to be thieves, then the thief Yuan Chong would not be able to become a powerful person, and he would not be able to do so much evil!" ”

Zhao Xuan finally turned the corner and said, "Du Gongzi, are you saying that the root of the problem is to blame the people who forced these people to become bandits?" ”

Du Yan clapped his hands and said, "That's right! That's what I mean!

If it weren't for the darkness of the court, the poverty and luxury of the officials, the formation of traitorous ministers, the tyranny of extortion, and the heavy taxes, hundreds of people could not live, so they could only go up the mountain to become thieves.

Otherwise, how could Yuan Chong gather so many minions under his command at once? How can they have the ability to do so much evil?

What's even more hateful is that the faint monarchs and traitors of the imperial court have forced hundreds of people to be thieves, whether it is Hebei or Jingdong, Jingxi, Jinghu, and Jiangnan are now full of bandits, and these bandits in turn are good people.

But the initiator of all this, the dark and corrupt court, has done nothing about the bandits everywhere, and those officials and lords of the Zhao and Song dynasties only care about forming parties for personal gain, exploiting the people, where can they govern the life and death of these good people?

Mr. Zhao must know that when Yuan Chong was doing evil here for a long time, did this Yongjing Army send troops to suppress it? I'm afraid that these officials will not be able to hide it from the court?

Anyway, if you report it, send troops to fight and win, and say that if you lose, won't it be thankless?

They even think that if they report it themselves, but others don't report it, won't the officials and the court think that they are extremely incompetent and useless? Do you still need an assessment?

Therefore, these corrupt officials and mediocre officials let these bandits do evil everywhere, as long as they don't come to attack the county seat, they will turn a blind eye, pretend not to know, and be safe with each other.

That's why these bandits are becoming more and more rampant. ”

Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, feeling that his three views were about to be subverted, as a member of the literati doctors who received the most preferential treatment in the Zhao and Song courts, Zhao Xuan naturally agreed with this court.

But now Du Yan pointed all the fingers at this court, and it seemed that what he said was very reasonable, Zhao Xuan wanted to refute, but he couldn't speak for a while.

At this moment, I saw a person running from a distance, dressed in the rivers and lakes, and heard the man shouting from a distance: "Deng Feike, who is fierce-eyed?" Big things are wrong! ”
