Chapter Seventy-Five: The People and the State
Seeing this fierce god coming, Wang Fang's two wives and concubines hugged their son who was so frightened that they didn't dare to show their faces even more nervously, and screamed in a low voice, tears burst out of their eyes again.
Zhu Feng looked at them quietly for a while, sighed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame this troubled world! The jewel box on the ground will be returned to you. You can still live in this home. For the time being, no one cultivates the land, plant it yourselves. As long as I'm here for a day, I promise that no one will bully you at will! ”
The two women were stunned for a moment, then hugged each other and cried quietly.
Zhu Feng turned around and found that the villagers had already received the money, half of the villagers had picked up the weapons on the ground, and one of the half-grown children was carrying a knife in both hands, and he was helpless to hold it horizontally for a while, and he held it vertically for a while.
Zhu Feng walked over, picked up the knife from the child's hand, danced around his side, and made a downward and upward movements, nodded with satisfaction, handed it back to the child, touched his head, and said softly: "This knife is good!" Don't be afraid, use it well, the knife is your best partner! ”
The child nodded understandingly, and held the knife tightly in his arms.
Zhu Feng walked over to the Houzhou soldiers on the east side, and this time, there was significantly less hostility in the eyes of those soldiers, and they looked at him calmly.
Hao Shi leaned over, pointed to the two lonely Zhou soldiers in the middle and said, "The two of them didn't receive the money." ”
Zhu Feng was very interested, walked over and asked, "Can you tell me why you don't want to receive money?" ”
The two soldiers straightened their necks, and one of the tall and thin soldiers said loudly: "We are soldiers of the Great Zhou, how can we be in the same stream as the enemy?" Take your money and dirty our hands! ”
Zhu Feng smiled and said loudly: "Then you tell me, a year ago, were you a soldier?" ”
The tall and thin soldier was stunned for a moment, and immediately said loudly: "Yes!" ”
Zhu Feng couldn't help but shake his head, and the smile on his face was even bigger: "At that time, you were a Great Han soldier, or a Great Zhou soldier?" ”
"This ......" The tall and thin soldier immediately couldn't answer. It's been less than a year since the establishment of the Great Zhou, if you didn't stand up for the Great Han a year ago, why should you stand up for the Great Zhou now? It was a paradoxical question that he simply could not answer.
The soldier who was a little shorter next to him took over: "The country is the business of the court and the adults!" We have always been Jiangzhou soldiers, we want to protect Jiangzhou, we want to protect our neighbors! ”
Zhu Feng turned his head and pointed at the villagers who were talking in a low voice with the money, and said with a smile: "What kind of protection law?" Is it better than our Shouzhou Army now burning the title deed, giving them land, and giving them money to protect it? ”
The shorter soldier was also speechless, and after a moment's pause, he retorted loudly: "You have done a good job in these things!" But when you give them knives, you send them to their deaths! ”
Zhu Feng sneered and shook his head: "Then what do you say they should do?" Reluctantly accept such a fate? Do you deserve to be exploited by the king? Do you deserve to be oppressed by corrupt officials? They've trusted you once before! However, you were defeated and withdrew from the Jinjiang region, and now that you are back, a large number of Liao soldiers and Han soldiers will soon go south, and you may have to retreat again, but what do the villagers who can't do without the land get? Who will protect them? ”
The two soldiers glanced at each other, their expressions were very disapproving, and the tall soldier couldn't hold back, and said loudly: "The people and soldiers should take the initiative to do something for the court, and they can't be careful!" ”
Zhu Feng looked at these two stubborn and stubborn soldiers, and suddenly remembered what Lin Feng had talked about when he was chatting with them, shook his head and smiled: "You mean to say, don't think about what the country has done for you, but think about what you can do for the country, right?" ”
"Yes, that's what it means!" The tall soldiers were amazed that the winds were speaking for them, and their voices couldn't help but rise louder. The villagers over there listened to the argument and slowly gathered around.
"Wrong! Miss by a mile! The winds shook their heads and said in a loud voice, "Tell me, is there water in the big river or in the small river first?" ”
"I, I've heard people say that it's when the big river rises, and there is water in the small river." The tall soldier replied with some hesitation.
Zhu Feng smiled, when Lin Feng and the special soldiers were arguing about this issue, many people said this, but they were stimulated by Lin Feng very badly.
"Wrong again! How does the water in the big river come from? If there were no small rivers and streams flowing day and night, where would the water come from in the big rivers? Born out of thin air? Just like a country, if there are no ordinary people who pay taxes and pay grain, can the court and those adults produce it themselves? Zhu Feng brought Lin Feng's original words over and roared loudly.
The two soldiers were dumbfounded, speechless.
As soon as Zhu Feng saw that the villagers were coming, he immediately jumped on the steps, raised his voice and said: "We Lord Lin have made an analogy, a country is like a big river, and every Li people is a small river on the big river, and every small river can not dry up!" If every one of us is rich, the country will be rich! Only when we are all good can the country be good!
Therefore, Lord Lin said to us that the people are the source of the country, the people are the foundation of the country, and it is the people who raise the country, not the country that raises the people. Therefore, it is not necessary to look at what the people have done for the country, but to see what the country has done for the people! ”
Zhu Feng pointed at Hao Shi and Fu Kang, and asked loudly, "How much do you two get your monthly military salary now?" ”
The two ** voices replied: "Two times a month in leisure time, three times a month in wartime!" The loot is counted! ”
"Wow-" In addition to Mao Qing and other Northern Han soldiers who were already familiar with these, the soldiers and villagers of the Later Zhou Dynasty couldn't help but marvel. In the current Jiangzhou, you can buy an acre of land with three dollars!
Zhu Feng took a Zhou Bing steel knife handed over by Hao Shi, and suddenly pulled out the knife and slashed it, cutting a deep knife mark on the blade.
Zhu Feng raised the damaged steel knife high and said loudly, "Everyone saw it, right?!" Our Shouzhou soldiers are all the best steel knives in the world!
Why can Lord Lin Fenglin take us across the world, take the state of Chu, collect Qingyuan, and take Jinzhou? It's because Lord Lin has always given us the highest salary in the world and the best weapon in the world! I might as well tell you that if our special forces are injured and disabled in combat, Lord Lin will arrange for us to take a position after retirement! If we die in battle, we will have at least 500 tribute! Therefore, every subordinate of Lord Lin will always be fearless, and we will always be invincible in the world!
Let me tell you again, don't look at the hundreds of thousands of Zhou soldiers who are now heading south to Shouzhou, but our Shouzhou has won! For what? As soon as I heard that Lord Lin was in trouble, more than 50,000 soldiers, masters, craftsmen, and scholars from all over the world rushed to help! With such Lord Lin, with such Shouzhou, hundreds of thousands of troops want to take Shouzhou? It's a dream! Please wait and see, the future Shouzhou must be the best place in the world, and the future Lord Lin will be invincible! ”
The sound of torches sounded, and the sound of the wind echoed in a huge courtyard, and the scene was extremely quiet.
"Alright, it's late at night, let's go back and rest! I hope you all think about it! The winds waved for the villagers to leave.
Zhu Feng jumped down, holding the two soldiers one by one, and said in a low voice: "Everyone has taken the money, but if you two don't take it, you are not afraid that they will be hacked on the battlefield in the future?" Don't say anything, follow us for the time being, I promise you to be safe and worry-free, and when the war is over, you can go wherever you want, and I will not stop you! ”
The two soldiers groaned slightly, then nodded helplessly in agreement.
Seeing that the villagers in the courtyard were left with only one Yu Chengfeng left, Zhu Feng let go of the two soldiers, turned around and said, "Captain Zhao, brothers, let's go, let's go to the big ticket overnight!" ”
