Chapter 328: The clouds and mist are hard to disperse
Lin Jiu thought about it, let Zhang Qiao leave first, and walked to Chu Lingxuan's camp alone.
After entering the camp, she saw Chu Linghui's smiling eyes, but she could still see the melancholy contained in this smile.
"How?" Before Lin Jiu could ask about Chu Linghui's meeting with Prince Gong today, Chu Linghui opened his mouth first.
Thinking of what he saw and heard in the day, not only did Orion suffer oppression, as long as he left the county, he would more or less make compromises.
Even the "right of the first night", which was rare in the history of the ancient kingdom in the previous life, was taken for granted by the local gentry.
In addition, if you want to rent the land, you must first cultivate it for the master's family for three years, and ninety percent of the grain within these three years will go to the landlord, and after three years, thirty percent will go to the master's family, and seventy percent will go to the peasants.
The number of seventy-three is placed in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the tenant farmers may praise the conscience of the master's family, but in Jingnan, or leaving the county, they must first survive those three years.
One percent of the harvest is simply not enough to afford a family of three, and most people have only two choices in the past three years, one is to give the main family barely able to survive the food every year, and then farm it for the main family for free.
In this way, even if there is no deed of sale, in fact, it can be regarded as a slave.
The other is to truly become a slave of the master's family, and the power of life and death is controlled by the master's family.
The only advantage of this method is that if it can be placed in a decent position, the host will keep him fed and clothed even for the sake of face.
This is the choice of most people, but not everyone is looked down upon, so most of the rest of the people have become serfs, and the rest of the people, even if they have ancestral property, will be plundered by the gentry and landlords in various ways.
Therefore, in the whole county, in the two parts of the city, there are landlords and gentry with property, and there are few people with no private property.
In Lin Jiu's view, the gentry who caused this situation were simply dying. A really smart person will give others a way to live, and now the situation of leaving the county is clearly urging the people below to rebel.
In fact, what Lin Jiu didn't understand was that not every era will produce heroes who dare to resist the darkness.
"The situation should be said to be good, how to say that, officer. Force. People. Opposite, oh, no, it should be a bold force to rebel against the people, even if Prince Gong leaves, we properly manage the people's hearts, and it will be enough to form a confrontation with it. ”
Chu Linghui was contemplative, and the little half pillar of incense did not speak. This made Lin Jiu a little puzzled, there was no secret between her and Chu Linghui, what did she really say, it was too weird to be silent for such a long time.
Just when Lin Jiu wanted to take the initiative to ask for Chu Linghui's advice, Chu Linghui finally spoke: "The prince reminded me of something today. ”
Lin Jiu was stunned, it was obvious that she didn't understand the connection between the two, but having said that, she still asked very cooperatively, "What reminder?" ”
"Don't try to use the Cloud Dream Army." Chu Linghui had a complicated look in his eyes.
Although the Flying Tiger Battalion is strong enough, it is only 300 people after all, and there are less than 500 people scattered and scattered.
Unless Lin Jiu takes out the tank armored car, which is a heavy equipment that can almost ignore cold weapons, in fact, even if he can take it out, there is no fuel that can provide it with kinetic energy.
In this world, Lin Jiu has already rummaged through the classics, and has not found any place that can produce oil, even if he knows, from mining to refining, it is not possible to complete it now, after all, this technology point is really unable to keep up.
Lin Jiu found that he was able to figure out that the steam engine was already the limit of this era.
Because of this, Yun Mengjun can be said to be her and Chu Lingjue's biggest hole card, if this hole card can't be used, then they will really become Pingyang Tiger Shoal Dragon.
"Why is that?" Lin Jiu asked puzzledly, before leaving, he took the gold medal from Gonggong Hong, just in case.
Chu Linghui pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, this is reminding us that once we choose the Yunmeng Army, it is equivalent to deciding our own position. ”
"Position? Didn't you decide a long time ago to become the emperor's humeral minister? The brand was also given by him, even if Yun Mengjun is used, your position should be that there is no change. Lin Jiu wondered.
Chu Linghui smiled bitterly: "Maybe that brand is His Majesty's temptation of us, Yun Mengjun may be the same as Jing Nan, but it belongs to the imperial court in name." ”
At this point, Chu Linghui paused and continued: "Don't forget, the people who came to besiege us at the beginning were still the army of the imperial court, and the only one closest to Jingnan was the Yunmeng army. ”
Lin Jiu added a sentence in his heart, if it weren't for this, an imperial army with an unknown banner was operating under the nose of the Yunmeng Army, and they would not turn a blind eye to it.
"In other words, when we take out this fast brand and go to the Yunmeng Army at a critical moment, the result must be a choice between death and surrender?"
Lin Jiu's tone became a little cold: "If that's the case, the emperor sent you here not to test your loyalty, but to send you to death in every sense." ”
"In fact, the situation is not so pessimistic, as long as we can successfully gain a foothold in Lixian, we naturally don't need to use Yunmengjun."
Chu Linghui's eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness.
If it was before, they and the gentry who left the county would definitely be in a situation where they would never die.
But since Prince Gong appeared, all this has changed.
A county commander with talent, force and background, even Zheng Kui doesn't want to be easily offended. Of course, this premise is that Chu Linghui and Lin Jiu will not touch their fundamental interests.
Prince Gong reminded them not to use the Yunmeng Army, which was actually saying that they should not do anything in Lixian County, and that everything should remain as it is.
"Do you know what your compromise means?" Lin Jiu looked at Chu Lingxuan's eyes, she wanted to know why even Chu Lingxuan would say such bloodless words.
You must know that when he was in Yunzhou, even the big families of the Wei family and the Yan family could be carried over.
"I know, that's why I want to find out if there is a proper way to deal with it, if these soil emperors inform Jingnan that they can calm the people with their hearts, it would be good to say, but now it is the entire people of Jingnan who are in dire straits, I naturally can't stand it."
"Then you just ......" Lin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, but finally didn't say a word "cowardice".
For Lin Jiu, failure or anything is not a matter of collapse, what he is most afraid of is that Nian Chu Linghui has lost his heart, no matter how many cards he has in his hand at that time, he can't play them.
Chu Linghui touched Lin Jiu's head and said, "Aren't I discussing with you to find a way that you don't need to use the Yunmeng Army." ”
Lin Jiu did not refuse Chu Linghui's intimate actions, although she was with the party who liked to take the initiative, but when she left Blackwater Town, the old mother told her that it was not a bad thing to be weak as a woman at some times.
Lin Jiu was very surprised that her mother, who had always been honest, could say such a thing, but then she was relieved, with her daughter's net worth, the old mother should belong to the category of noblewomen, and the circles are different, and the words are naturally different.
Seeing that Lin Jiu did not resist, Chu Linghui had the courage to let his hand stay on Lin Jiu's head for a few more moments, Lin Jiu finally couldn't hold back, and broke away from Chu Lingjue's clutches with a short body, and glared at Chu Linghui dissatisfied.
Seeing this situation, Chu Lingxuan withdrew his hand stupidly, but the interaction between his hands seemed to be experiencing the aftertaste of Fang Cai.
"Actually, it's a good thing that the people's hearts can be used by us, but you have to know that people need to eat, and most people will choose the former between the hell where food can be eaten and the heavenly realm where food can be satisfied."
Lin Jiu was stunned and asked, whether this can be regarded as a choice between alternative bread and love.
However, if "love" is replaced by "hope", it seems that people can burst out of extraordinary power, and the history of previous lives has proved that under the firm belief, people can overcome instincts, whether it is fear or hunger. Thirsty.
Now, the people who left the county also need a reason to fight.
