Chapter 270: Hope

Dong Ce, who came out of the mansion, had a trace of fatigue on his face.

Although Qin Qi did not embarrass him, he could not fail to warn him, Dong Ce was playing a side game, the imperial court has regulations that private guards cannot hold armor and crossbow arrows, but it does not mean that they cannot have hunting bows and shields, Dong Ce just took advantage of such a loophole.

However, Zhong Xiaoshi's combat power has exceeded the imagination of the government, and the caravan guards that could have had a maximum of 100 people have been reduced by half, although there is no harm to the current Dong Ce, but it has hindered the subsequent development!

Unless, Dong Ce cultivates a caravan in the Western Regions, because the Western Regions are not peaceful, the accompanying guards can be expanded to three or five hundred, but in terms of combat power, the imperial army knows that these three or five hundred are no more than thirty or fifty of their orthodox army! for they have armor and crossbows.

Therefore, when the merchants arrived at the border pass, they would hire border guards to escort them, otherwise with five hundred guards, the horse thieves in the Western Regions only needed to send two or three hundred people to loot them.

But Dong Ce's escort team is an alternative, not to mention whether the robbers are wine bags and rice bags, but there are at least hundreds of people, and you can kill half of the other party with only thirty or so people, and it has not yet been reported as casualties, what kind of elite is this, how can the government guards not pay attention to it?

Rao is a Qin Qi who supports Dong Ce, and this time he has to criticize him.

"Alas, the Liangshan army is more than 100,000, how can you let Lao Tzu fight fifty people?" Dong Ce was very depressed and turned over to the donkey and walked towards the art garden.

In the next two days, the undercurrent in Jiangnan became more and more intense, and even Taiping Dao noticed it, but they didn't care about it, after all, Taiping Dao is the right way today. It was supported by the imperial court and protected by the government guards. How can you be afraid of these cultists!

The autumn harvest and autumn planting season in the south is the busiest of the year, which also brings a generous deposit to Yanjiao.

Even Qin Qi also pushed down many trivial matters. Concentrate on autumn planting, of course, the reason why he works so hard is because he is optimistic about Dong Ce's planting method, which is now used by him to improve his political performance, and he runs around every day to teach, and is supported by many small scholars.

The Qin family's more than a dozen acres of fertile land have long been hot for the scholars who rely on farming, not only to learn the know-how of cultivating seedlings, but also to ask craftsmen to build channels and waterwheels. Ke Yan taught these people, how could they be busy, Qin Qi wanted Dong Ce to hire more people at the beginning, or teach others how to make waterwheels.

But he was immediately denied by Dong Ce, which naturally made Qin Qi unhappy, but after listening to Dong Ce's explanation, he couldn't help but secretly scold this guy for his shrewdness!

The so-called scarcity is precious, and technology is naturally the top priority, and those who want to improve the fields are noble. In order to get it first, he naturally tried every means to curry favor with Qin Qi, during this period of time, how could Qin Qi's reputation not be high?

Contrarily. Technology has been learned by others, why should people come to beg you!

Qin Qi is busy, and Taiping Dao is even busier. 100,000 victims, it used to be a burden. But now it's expensive!

Fields destroyed by floods need to be repaired, and autumn planting should be done quickly. But where does the labor come from? Aren't they all controlled by the Taiping Dao! Therefore, the scholars went to the Taiping Dao, hoping to hire the victims from them as soon as possible to repair and farm.

But at this time, Taiping Dao has nostrils facing the sky!

I begged you for help before, but you were good, and refused one by one, if it weren't for the fear of the national teacher, I'm afraid that we wouldn't even let us in, what do you mean now? There is a demand for talents, when we are peaceful, what is the way?

Taiping Dao, who thinks he has become the savior, can he think at this moment, because their pride has caused many scholars to be unhappy, and not only that, but some victims have also seen the problem!

There are many ways to deceive people in Taiping Dao, and they are also very useful, but he can bewitch, so won't others bewitch? As some well-intentioned people spread rumors among the victims, the victims soon realized that these days are not living at all!

Although they helped Taiping Dao to build a Taoist temple with food, drink and shelter, they did not have any salary, so what should they do about their children's marriage? What happens when an old man dies? Indeed, among the victims, you can intermarry, because everyone is in the same situation, as long as the two families look at each other, worship their parents, send a cave house, and the dead old man rolls up a straw mat and digs a pit and buries it, and there is no need to spend money.

But if you don't have money, you won't have the ability to worship red and white ceremonies, do you want to mix like this for a lifetime?

Who doesn't want to live and don't want to be beautiful? But you can do things under Taiping Road, even if you are down-to-earth, what fun is there?

As a result, some victims began to ask Taoist priests to help introduce them to some scholars as tenants, but these Taoist priests were instructed by the above not to let these victims make their own decisions, and everything was arranged by Taiping Dao.

As a result, the enthusiasm of the victims for their gratitude to Taiping Dao began to cool!

People are like this, you save him, give him food and clothing and give him a place to live, but if you can't give him the life he wants, then he will hate you in turn, even if he knows that you are his life-saving benefactor, but during this time, you have worked tirelessly to move stones and trees, build Taoist temples, and pay it off? Is a life worth a lifetime?

I don't know which guy spread the news, saying that the victims of several villages, because they followed the Yanjiao, not only have a proper job, but also can learn crafts, and they actually have five yuan a month!

Oh my God, this is a fairyland for them!

Of course, who would believe such absurdity! But some curious people really inquired, and it turned out that it was much more than that!

Not only can men take money, but if women can embroider or cook on fire, they actually have five yuan a month, not only that, but their children can also enter the student temple founded by Yanjiao to study, I heard that it is still nothing, saying what is the three-year compulsory education!

Even if you don't know what compulsory education is, as long as you know, all the children of the Yanjiao sect can be free of tuition!

This inquiry, as soon as it spread, completely exploded among the victims!

"At the beginning, the people of Wujia Village also let our village go to Jinling with them to join Yanjiao, but I still rejected it with disdain. But...... I didn't expect that! ”

"The world is unpredictable, why are you troubled by yourself, now you have to eat, you can live, you are content!"

"But should our children be like us?"

In a word, some loyal Taiping victims were dumbfounded.

In these years, the importance of learning characters is not as important as the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, but it is also not to be underestimated, literati have a very high status from ancient times to the present, and they can hold their heads up anywhere, even if Yanjiao is only taught for free for three years, but if you learn well in three years, there are opportunities for promotion, and you will be strongly supported by Yanjiao, and there are any scholarships and so on.

This is undoubtedly a source of hope for the victims!

Hope is the most important thing to a person, and conversely, despair is something that no one wants to see! (To be continued.) )
