The weather in Wuyang City has been good recently, neither rain nor hot. Every year in March and April, it is such a good day. Take advantage of the good weather to grow as hard as possible, and try to spread as high as possible to avoid flooding yourself with the imminent rains.

Rice is the main grain of Wuyang City. However, there is little land and many mountains, which is very unsuitable for agricultural development. The people of Wuyang also have a way, terraced fields, stone and stone cofferdams to enclose the poor mountain flatland, like a chessboard, dotted with stars.

It's not that Wuyang is not flat at all. The large fields outside the city belonged to the lord of the city. The land of the lord of the castle is the best and the largest. Thousands of slaves pouted and toiled under the watchful eye of the soldiers. They sweat like rain, they work hard, and in the end they don't have a single grain in their mouths.

Fertilizing is a chore, and long queues stink buckets of manure into the ground. Artemisia annua is not a smart weed, it grows too fast. I always think that by taking advantage of this good time, I can absorb the hard-won nutrients and fully accept the sunshine, so that my children and grandchildren can prosper. But it forgets that precisely because it grows too fast and too tall, it is often plucked by the first slaves who weed.

On the road in the distance, more than a dozen ox carts loaded with bulging bags, under the protection of a large group of men with big shoulders and round waists, slowly walked in the direction of Wuyang City. The leading driver was facing the sun and held his hat in front of his eyes to prevent the harsh light from shining directly into his eyes. The ox cart walked very slowly, one step at a time, three times. The sun shines on the body very warm, especially comfortable. The coachman was confused, let go and let the obedient old cow walk slowly on the road by himself.

This is a convoy of Han people, who have just come from Han land. The hardships along the way, both cattle and people are a little tired. Wuyang is very close to Han land, and Han people often come to Wuyang, but there are too many people in the past few days.

A slave in the field straightened up, turned his head to look at the slow convoy, and was immediately whipped. The guards of the City Lord's Mansion standing on the ridge shouted at all the slaves: "Do your best work!" Don't worry about what you shouldn't be in charge of, eat the whip this time, and it will kill you next time! ”

The life of a slave is worthless, and no one cares if they die. The city lord's family is mostly slaves, and as long as she wants, she can turn an ordinary person into her slave anytime and anywhere. This is a privilege given to the city lord by the ancestors, and it is also stipulated by the law of Wuyang.

Compared with the hardships of the slaves, the people with more people and less land are much more leisurely. It doesn't matter if you can't eat enough, Wuyang is like spring all year round, and there are endless weeds at any time. It's not a big deal if it's not warm, and it's more than a dozen degrees at the coldest time.

"This is the goods of that Su Gongzi again, I went to see it last time, they are all good things that I have never seen, but unfortunately we have no money and no ability, so we can't afford it!"

An old man and a young man sat opposite each other on the ridge, looking at the slowly walking oxcart convoy with a yearning expression.

"I want to go to Su Gongzi to be a helper, I heard that I still have two dollars a month!" The young one said it solemnly, not like a joke.

The old man thought for a while and shook his head: "No, the city lord didn't make a notice, in case the city lord knows, we will also become them!" The old man turned his head to look at the slaves working at the bottom of the mountain.

"Hey!" The young man sighed and kicked on the ground, and the big head clod was crushed by the kick: "Daddy, you said that we are busy working all year round and can't eat enough, while those old men don't do anything, eat well and dress warmly, why is this?" ”

"All of this is arranged by God, and that's something that we mortals can understand? What kind of life everyone should live is up to God! The old man was expressionless, knelt on the ground and folded his hands, kowtowing to the sky: "Don't have any resentment, as long as you work hard in this life, God will make you rich and noble in the next life." ”

"But that's not what that Su Gongzi said! He said......"

"Smack!" The old man was really angry this time. Ever since that Su Gongzi came, he often heard words from his son that he shouldn't have heard: "That's a Han person, don't forget your identity, we are Yelang people!" ”

The boy covered his face and said nothing, tears in his eyes running down his cheeks.

"Drive!" The coachman raised his whip, flicked his wrist, and the long leather whip drew a graceful arc in the air, and retracted it sharply above the ox's ears, making a "Bang!" "A bang. The leisurely old cow immediately raised his head and returned to the middle of the road, and his pace quickened a lot.

There was a lot of cargo, the ox carts were heavy and heavy, and the soft earth was pressed out of a shallow rut. Seeing that they were about to arrive in Wuyang, the guards also relaxed, and the three and three gathered together to talk and laugh. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, looking at the expressions on those people's faces, it was still very envious.

"Hey......! What's the good stuff this time? "I don't know if it was the bold guy who shouted a Chinese word at the convoy.

"It's all good things, cloth, silk, porcelain, salt, tables and chairs, tea, whatever you want! It's early tomorrow if you want! The big man at the head of the convoy replied loudly.

"We can't afford that!"

"If you can't afford it, you can exchange it for something! Herbs, animal skins, and anything else are available! It's all you have stones, hahaha......, your mountain is full of treasures, no matter what you get, you can change a lot, we want everything. ”

"This cloth is strong and durable, and the clothes made can be worn for a year, and this table and chair are comfortable! Make a cup of tea, move a table and chairs, sit under the tree and enjoy the farming season, this is the best enjoyment, even my husband is like this, he said this is the happiest thing in life, hurry up! Get something from your mountains, whatever it is, even the soil is fertile! ”

Talking unintentionally, listening with heart. Shama Shayi was constantly receiving reports of the sudden destruction of his mountain forest, the medicine garden was stolen from time to time, and even the livestock in the corral were often lost. No matter how much you beat the slaves, the fellows didn't say a word, lying bareback on the ground, their heads buried in the mud and let you beat themselves all over with your whip.

Sending troops and forest rangers did not play a role either. The precious trees and precious medicinal herbs on the mountain have disappeared in large areas. The livestock raised in the mountains were also lost in large quantities. Someone was sent to track down, but no clues could be found at all. Even if they caught one or two, their faces were horrified, but they kept silent and didn't say anything.

Shamasayi was furious, nothing like this had ever happened in her territory. Holding the railing on the second floor with both hands, I looked downstairs tied to the stakes, two skinny guys. She recognized it as her horse boy, who had been caught red-handed when they were stealing horses from their home. Tied up here to prepare for the punishment, so that everyone can see what happens to stealing her things. This is not the first time this has been done.

"Say! Who told you to steal the lord's horse? Sama had a leather whip in his hand, and blood was dripping from it.

The two horse boys did not have a trace of good flesh on their bodies, their chests were rotten into wuffs, the corners of their mouths were bloody, their faces were expressionless, and they did not say a word.

"Ge Laozi, his mouth is so hard, come on, do it!"

"Ah......h Sama gave an order, and two people rushed up with knives in their hands, cut off a string of meat from Ma Tong's body, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it "crunch" and eaten, his mouth was bleeding and still laughing.

The two horse boys couldn't live.

Many people gathered around the execution ground, both civilians and slaves. These people all watched in silence, their eyes were blank, and they were as expressionless as the two horse boys.

"See it all, right? This is the fate of stealing the things of the city lord, as long as you say it, who asked you to steal the things of the city lord, not only can you avoid the pain of flesh and skin, but also will not affect your family, if not, if you are caught by me, your fate will be worse than them! ”

Sama waved the whip in his hand, snapped, and glanced at everyone present.

"Isn't it you? And you! Arrest both of them! Sama pointed casually with his whip, and the two civilians with slightly twinkling eyes were pulled over by the soldiers.

"Let go of me! I didn't steal! ”

"You didn't steal, you must know who stole something, say, say it and I'll let you go!" Sama laughed and flicked the whip again, making a snapping sound.

"I, we really don't know! We didn't steal! Please, let us go? ”

Sama laughed, waved his right arm, rolled his leather whip, and cut a long cut on the body of a citizen. The screams sounded again, and the expressions on the faces of the people were no longer wooden, they gritted their teeth one by one, clenched their fists, and unconsciously moved a step forward.

Sama turned his back to the people, and did not pay any attention behind him. Upstairs, Shama Shayi saw it clearly, and couldn't help but raise his body and frown.

I don't know when, Liu Gongzi appeared behind Shama Shayi, and smiled: "Attack the heart!" This move is very ruthless, if the city lord does not handle it properly, not only will he not be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but he may also provoke a civil uprising. ”

Shama Shayi glared at Liu Gongzi: "What good way do you have?" ”

Liu Gongzi shook his head: "According to our Han people, the plan to attack the heart lies in a heart word, under the city lord, the people's hearts have been scattered, and it may not be easy to gather!" ”

"If you say it, you don't say it!"

"Hehe, that's not true, only by finding the mastermind behind the scenes can we really break this plan."

"Who is it?"

"I don't know!"

"You!" Shamasayi glared angrily at each other and pinched Liu Gongzi's waist fiercely.

"Ahh Liu Gongzi grinned when he was pinched, and hurriedly forged: "Okay, okay, let's analyze, in this Wuyang City, who wants to see the city lord so passive?" ”

"You mean ......"

Liu Gongzi smiled and nodded.

Shama Shayi snorted coldly: "Hmph! There are no good people, I would have liked to get along with them, and they actually instigated the people to rebel, so don't blame me for being rude! ”

Liu Gongzi smiled: "Speaking of which, they are also very smart, if the city lord doesn't treat your people like this, these people won't go against the city lord, now it seems that they have united, if you want to keep Wuyang, the city lord needs to make up your mind!" ”
