In the jungle, the big beast eats the small beast, the small beast eats the insects and ants, and the insects and ants eat the green leaves.

In the rivers, the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, and the shrimp eat the algae.

In human society, it is also full of the jungle, but it will be reflected in another way.

For example, the big kingdom plunders the small kingdom, and the middle and upper layers of the kingdom oppress the lower classes, and the lower classes have various relationships.

There are even those at the bottom of society that Zhang Guozi has encountered.

These people do not have enough to eat, and they struggle to meet even the most basic needs of survival.

In terms of the food chain, this is the outcast, the devoured.

But this is a human society, with wisdom, systems, and people's hearts, there are also various ways of evolution.

Zhang Guozi is helping the lowest.

Like a breastfeeder treats a child.

When there is some ability, I will try to help the weak.

Li Hongru turned around with many thoughts of scientific outlook in his head, and also faced Zhang Guozi's problem.

What should Zhang Guozi do?

"Do you know beyond Yingcheng?"

Half a ring, he spoke.

"Beyond Yingcheng?" Zhang Guozi doubted.

"Do you know how many places like Yingcheng are in the Bingzhou region?"

"Four hundred and sixty-six," Zhang Guozi replied.

His answer was very accurate, which made Li Hongru a little suffocated for a while.

It's like asking which is the highest peak in the world, most people know it, but asking the second and third ...... The tenth class couldn't answer the same thing.

I wanted to be an introduction to the words, but Li Hongru didn't expect Zhang Guozi to really answer.

"Do you know how many poor people are in these four hundred and sixty-six small towns?" Li Hongru asked: "How many people are there in the lower level of the countryside who are not satisfied?" ”

"I ......"

Finally asked Zhang Guozi where it was difficult to know the number.

Li Hongru breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zhang Guozi answered this kind of question again, it would be equivalent to counting how many stars there were in the sky, and he would not be able to continue to speak.

"You saved the poor in this place, and you know how many of the same people in other places will die in the winter," Li Hongru said.

"I don't know, it's just that I do it with my heart, I want to do a little if I can do something, and I can save a person."

Zhang Guozi was silent for a long time before replying to Li Hongru's question.

"Who is responsible for their poverty?" Li Hongru asked.

“……”

"Laziness, having too many children, the government's excesses and taxes, or the invasion of the frontier?"

"This time it's a tax ......"

Zhang Guozi went from silence to muttering, and then fell silent again.

Li Hongru's words are paved layer by layer, and they also lead to the highest point of contradiction.

If the Tang Dynasty had no way, many places would have already been in turmoil and rebelled against tyranny.

The government levied too much tax, and it was indeed to support the legions that guarded the frontier.

If the frontier cannot be defended and the invading legions go south, it means that most people's lives will be directly lost, and more people will be captured as slaves in countries such as the khanate, and it will be difficult to see the hope of life again.

"If you can see the reason for all this, why not solve the problem and sacrifice the basics here."

"I'm just an ordinary wild Taoist priest" Zhang Guozi gritted his teeth and said: "How can I solve the great trouble in the frontier as a small Taoist, I can only look at the present and do what I can do." ”

"You don't care, I don't care, so who can care about these things?"

Previously, the rivers and lakes of Bingzhou were a stagnant water, and the people in the rivers and lakes were not keen on the external affairs of the imperial court.

Zhang Guozi is a small microcosm of the rivers and lakes of Bingzhou, and many people in the rivers and lakes just do what they can do.

Warriors, Taoists, frustrated literati, monks, nuns, etc.

Most people are wise to protect themselves, and it is even difficult to have Zhang Guozi's helping behavior.

"Not to mention the frontier affairs, even the plundering regiments of the Khanate can wantonly enter our states and burn and plunder, bringing countless disasters and disasters," Li Hongru said.

"You say so, have you ever been in charge of this side of the frontier, and have you ever been in charge of this plundering group," Zhang Guozi said angrily.

"In Xia Bucai, it was the commander of the Jianghu Division of Bingzhou that he came back with the sword of the plundering regiment" Li Hongru said: "It's just that I was blocked by you, so I stayed in Yingcheng and couldn't go back to Merge Zhou, if there is a frontier incident in Merge at this time, we will inevitably go to the battlefield." ”

Li Hongru didn't want to talk about the snake demon and the crane demon, and the swords of many people in the plundering group were already enough in his hands.

Whether the raiders were killed by them or by the demons, the end result was that the gang died.

And he has more or less interfered in the affairs of the frontier.

If it weren't for Xu Maogong's fear of taking him too far and dying in Bingzhou, maybe Li Hongru would have been recruited from time to time.

"You have my horse outside this temple, and it carries the sword of the master of the plundering regiment on it!"

"I ......"

Zhang Guozi held the iron pot on the stove with his hands.

He didn't expect that the person in front of him was still a practical combat faction, that is, the children of this family, all of whom belonged to the team.

He originally thought that this was a group of children of the family, traveling around the mountains and rivers, and encountered some things and fell into trouble.

This is a deception to the wrong person.

It was only then that there was a hint of shame on his face.

If he knew that the other party was a real hero, he would definitely not do this kind of deception.

"I'm wrong," Zhang Guozi closed his eyes and said, "Come according to the rules of the law, I am willing to take all the responsibilities." ”

"You ......"

Li Hongru groaned slightly.

He really didn't know how to deal with Zhang Guozi.

The other party uses a good technique, and if it is sent to the yamen and imprisoned, it will inevitably be a waste of talent.

The people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable.

If they don't pursue it, Zhang Guozi's behavior can also cover up.

But that's not something he can decide alone.

He called Li Wuji to call someone to come.

Li Hongru wanted to hear the opinions of Qin Huairen and the others.

"The technique of fast aging, the method of fake death, and the technique of mimicking the little donkey."

In the middle of the sound, Qin Huairen and the others rode donkeys and inferior horses to Tongxuanguan.

Seeing the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but marvel again and again.

Just a few spells, and they played all over again.

If it weren't for Li Hongru's suspicions, this matter would have come to an end with the closure of the county government.

The case has been closed, and Qin Huairen doesn't want to make more trouble.

"Hand over the ill-gotten gains you cheated first," Qin Huairen said.

"I spent it all," Zhang Guozi replied: "I ordered a lot of rice noodles in Mochizuki Tower and sent them to every household with small paper figures." ”

"It turns out that you sent a big order to Mochizuki Tower."

Zhang Guozi spent the money very cleanly, he sent things to every household, and did not even inform these poor people, and quietly completed these things.

The other party's technique attracted Qin Huairen and the others to be amazed.

Zhang Guozi's technique is exquisite, and the strength of the release spell is also extremely strong.

If the opponent has a certain amount of striking skills, he must be an extremely good master.

"Although we don't care about the money of one hundred and twenty taels of silver, we can't let you do this."

Qin Huairen can endure the loss of money.

He was supposed to give relief to the poor and did good deeds that were nameless.

But he did not allow Zhang Guozi to behave like this.

They are fine at this time, but if they encounter someone who is in a hurry, it will inevitably lead to big trouble, and even cut off the life of others.

It is not advisable to cheat other people out of their money to save their lives.

If something really went wrong, it would have been impossible to listen to explanations like "I thought ......" and "So you ......."

It's just that how to deal with Zhang Guozi inevitably gives him a bit of a headache.

It is useless to be imprisoned, and it is difficult to go to prison without imprisonment, after all, they are just coming and going around the state.

In the middle of the ring, Qin Huairen asked Li Hongru.

"Brother Hongru, is there still a shortage of people in your Jianghu Division?"

"Missing!"

Li Hongru was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The Jianghu Division is a grass-headed team, and it is stuffed with a bunch of temporary workers.

Including his command, which is also of a temporary nature.

At this time, it is no problem to stuff Zhang Guozi in.

If you can use Zhang Guo anywhere, you can draw it again when the time comes.
