Chapter Thirty-Seven: Food Again
Luo Yi felt that he had changed, he had become ruthless, and he watched the second lieutenant under Huang Yi drive more than 700 prisoners to the Hongye Mountain military camp like a cattle and sheep, without any anger in his heart, without the slightest unbearable fluctuation.
These so-called prisoners of sin, say they are too sinful, no! They are just afraid that their property will be swallowed up, and they are just dissatisfied that their fields have been divided.
So whether they are guilty or not, there is! They have blocked the development of national power and the policies they want to pursue.
Since the reform of the Eighteen Villages, Luo Yi has changed, he is no longer a descendant, he no longer panics when he sees a dead person, and he is no longer afraid, even if this dead person is watching himself being hacked to death.
More than 20 altars of clear springs were distributed, and under the command of Huang Yi, several fires were set up on the not small training ground.
The young prisoner did not resist, maybe he was scared of the beating, or it may be the reason for the bindings of his hands, the unkempt women and children, did not cry, but the red and swollen eyes showed that he may have been crying a lot recently.
The children were shivering with cold, clinging to their mothers, and occasionally a few daring, curious and a little frightened with their heads raised, surrounded by soldiers who seemed to be only a few years older than them.
Some women, fearing that the soldiers would be in trouble, quickly pressed the child's head down and held it tightly in their arms.
"Untie!"
"Captain, this is not right!"
"I said loosening!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Luo Yi insisted, Huang Ling stopped talking nonsense, and waved his hand to let the soldiers untie the bound Qingzhuang.
"Serve!"
"Yes!"
A large pot full of hot soup was brought up one by one in wooden barrels full of rice.
"I don't care why you came here, but since you came, it means that you are guilty, and you will be here for a year of reform, and after a year, you will behave well.
The household registration department of the national forces will register your household registration and distribute acres of land, so that you will become the people of our forces from now on.
But I'm going to say it in the first place, if you don't cooperate, you will bear the consequences! ”
Luo Yi is not afraid of their resistance, the prisoners who can come here have families, not for themselves, not for the old wives in the family, but they will always care about the children.
Although it seems a bit despicable to do this, Luo Yi doesn't have any thoughts about hurting the child.
The child is innocent, the child is innocent, but the child and the adult are all brought, and if the child does not come, who will feed it.
Moreover, there is no parent in the world who doesn't care about their children, and the most cowardly woman dares to fight with a nine-foot-tall man for the sake of her children.
With the company of children, these prisoners will also have scruples, they also have hope, only a year, although I don't know whether it's true or not, but there is hope, it's better than no hope.
The well-fed, roasted prisoners of sin, divided into three teams, were led by the soldiers to their new home, where they would spend a year if nothing else.
Luo Yi didn't plan to build a cell, as long as these prisoners didn't cross the designated area, they were free here, but they just wanted all the materials to be exchanged for their own labor.
"Little brother, ask who that adult is just now."
Li San, who was lucky enough to be the squad leader, was questioned by the prisoner and said arrogantly: "That is the commander of our Tiger Roaring Army and the son of the leader of the force." ”
Looking at the thin old man, Li San said with emotion: "You meet the commander of my family, it is a good fate, the commander is easy-going, sympathetic to the weak, as long as you stay here obediently for a year, you can go out and officially join the forces."
Gray scoffed at Li San's words, but his face still said with a flattering face: "That's, that's." ”
For the high-level of the national forces, Gray hated it, and his Ge family was also a big clan in the Lu Ge forces, like Ge Feng, who was the first to take refuge, belonged to the side branch of their Ge family.
When Lu Ge was captured by the national forces, Gray did not flee like other big clans, carrying his family's money and money.
Staying behind Gray didn't think about relying on his cousin Ge Feng, who was separated by a few generations, after all, the clan was not very good at these side branches, and Ge Feng was only a small person in the national forces, I heard that he was just a squad leader, even if he was willing to help, he couldn't say anything.
In Gray's view, there is no difference between the national forces and other forces, find someone who speaks to the national forces, give some money and food, and the Ge family will still live well.
It's just that the result was beyond his expectations, the officials of the national forces are too damn principled, and they take the money and grain they offer, but when they divide the acres of land and pay any personal income tax, they don't give them any affection.
So the angry Gray united with several big clans who did not flee and organized a protest, who knew that this time it would cause a big disaster, the acres of land were divided, and the remaining money was swallowed up.
This is not over, all the people who participated in the protest this time became prisoners, and they were first dragged to repair the military fortress, and as soon as they were done, they were brought to this place where birds don't poop and open up wasteland for farming.
If that's all, Gray will admit it, just if the Ge family's fate is not good, and he meets a ruler who is biased against the rich.
But when he was repairing the military fortress, he met a young man from the same village who defected to the national forces after the defeat of the Lu Ge forces, and this young man joined the Long Yin Army, and the young man told him that if he did not participate in the protest, the forces would not confiscate his family property.
He also said that those big households who did not participate in the protest only took back the acres of land and redistributed them, and the acres were less, but the money and grain at home were not taken by the forces, and the grains were not collected.
Hearing this, he was angry with Gray, and almost scolded his mother on the spot, your mother! Don't play like this, the policy is like this, can you say it in advance.
The most hateful thing is that the village official took so much silver and copper coins from Lao Tzu, and he didn't give a word in advance, otherwise who the hell would protest!
keeps saying that the policy is like this, he is a principled person, you fuck it, this is the principle you talk about, if you take the money and don't do anything, forget it, and kill Lao Tzu.
Gray was scolding in his heart, he didn't dare to mess around again, he heard that those who fled in advance ended up worse than him, and some of them resisted after being intercepted by the Dragon Yin Army, and there were many dead and wounded, and the survivors were not less than three years of ambush service.
So even if he has hatred in his heart, he can only endure it, but he has a complete hatred for the officials of the national forces, and this is a clear pit man.
Luo Yi naturally didn't know about these big landlords as village officials, but even if he knew, he would only reprimand him slightly, and he would definitely praise the village officials who didn't help Gray with these landlords after accepting bribes.
For this kind of person who accepts money from others and does not violate the principle of power, it should be encouraged, this is the official needed by the power, as long as he does not take the initiative to covet the money and food of the forces or the villagers, the power is allowed, after all, this matter is still within the provisions of the law, and there is no law that prohibits accepting money from others voluntarily.
However, if you dare to forcibly take the money of the villagers or the money and food of the greedy forces, the law that Luo Yi participated in the revision has severe punishment in this regard.
This is called knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime is increased by several degrees, although the crime does not lead to death, but compared to a villager like Gray, it is at least ten times more serious, and it is definitely necessary to endure eight years and ten years of forced labor.
Luo Yi didn't know about Gray's matter, but he knew that now he was also in charge of air traffic, and the arrival of more than 700 criminals was to solve the shortage of labor in Hongye Mountain, but then there were more than 700 mouths, and people wanted to eat.
Huang Yi asked his subordinates to bring people over, but they didn't bring food, obviously the food has to be solved by the Tiger Roaring Army itself, and now the ministries believe in themselves too much, or are they withdrawing themselves, they have just confiscated so many big households, there should still be some food, but they don't let people send it.
Luo Yi even wondered, was it because the Tiger Roaring Army was dissatisfied with the three components of the mud green wine shop? Huang Ling was so angry that he scolded: "These old guys, they must have done it on purpose, sending so many people here, without taking a grain of grain, and people don't just eat leaves." ”
Luo Yi and Huang Ling really misunderstood the officials of various ministries, and confiscated the granaries of Dahu and Lu Ge, and the forces harvested a lot of grain, but after giving the villagers grain, there was not much left.
And the major projects of the force can not be stopped, this bit of food is not enough to participate in the construction of the villagers to eat for a month, although the Ministry of Commerce also bought a lot of grain from Gaoxinlun's Baini Town, but the situation is the same as above, the two avenues are being built, and the Ministry of Commerce's grain purchase channels are also unstable, there is this time, I don't know if there will be a next time.
So, all the ministries chose to believe in Luo Yi, after all, this kind of thing never seemed to have stumped Luo Yi, and every time he could come up with a way to solve the problem of food shortage.
Luo Yi didn't know how many old men thought so, if he knew, he would definitely point at the nose of a few old men and scold: Lao Tzu is not a god, and he will have the ability to make something out of nothing.
Seeing that Luo Yi was silent, Huang Ling also calmed down, he knew that his father and second brother must be involved in this matter, after all, in the power, in addition to the three tigers and one fox in the army, it is also the father and the second brother who have the most power.
The three tigers of the national forces are, Luo Xiong, Luo Ba, Huang Yi, and Yihu are naturally Wang Kuo, and they are also the four most powerful people in the Long Yin Army, and it can even be said that the rights in the entire force are also the top four, this is not to say that the national forces are heavy on military force and light on literature, the main thing is that the leader of the force is in the army, plus the force has just started, and martial arts are more important than Wen, in Luo Yi's plan, of course, he hopes that the two will be balanced.
Although the Tiger Roaring Army is the second army, after all, it is still too young, if it weren't for Luo Yi's support, it is estimated that it would have been disbanded long ago, so it will lead to eggs like now, always worrying about food.
Thinking of all this possibility, Huang Ling said confidently: "If the soldiers' salaries are not paid at the time, they will always be able to survive for a few days." ”
"No, although my Tiger Roaring Army has not been in the army for a long time, I don't want to have a precedent for deducting military salaries, so I'll figure out a way."
"But..."
Huang Ling didn't know what to say, and when she thought of her father and second brother in this matter, she felt powerless.
Luo Yi also felt that he was not destined for a food shortage this year, why was he always in trouble with food, and there was a food shortage crisis every day.
It is precisely these bad things that make Luo Yi pay more attention to Hongye Mountain Farm, "Grain! Grain! Lao Tzu must let the Tiger Roaring Army no longer make trouble for food in the future. ”
