"The people of Xuanzhu County are so miserable."

Yin Guyue, who was looking at the newspaper, suddenly let out a strange sigh, and Xia Linguo, who was dealing with official business, raised his eyebrows slightly and ignored him.

"Mr. Xia, don't you want to ask me why I think so?"

"In the whole world, no one is miserable, and all love is suffering."

Yin Guyue put down the newspaper, "Mr. Xia, come with me." ”

Xia Linguo was very obedient, put down his official duties, and walked out with him.

He knew that if he ignored this person now, it would only cause more entanglement and nagging, and it was better to solve it quickly and send this person away.

The two walked to the balcony and looked at the town under the mountain built on the barren mountain in front of them, at this time the sun was provoking, and the whole town was bathed in golden light.

The cool breeze blew and hundreds of copper bells rang.

This is the southernmost part of Dongyang District, Tongling Town.

Tongling Town was originally a town that relied on copper mines to develop, and the Jing family has a number of factories here, and when the copper ore is collected, it is directly transported to the factory for rough processing, one-stop service.

However, the copper ore resources were exhausted many years ago, and the area was also turned into an agricultural manor town, and the workers were transformed into farmers, growing tobacco, grain, and mulberry hemp for the Silverblood Chamber of Commerce.

Many people have spent most of their lives here, not because the welfare here is good, in fact, they may not be as good as the workers in Xuanzhu County.

The workers of Xuanzhu County still have a lot of spiritual food, such as going to the storytelling stall to listen to books, going to the war card hall to watch people play cards, and even going to the gangster casino to gamble a little money - although the life is hard, there is also a lot of fun.

But there is nothing here in Tongling Town, and many people work as soon as they open their eyes, and sleep when they close their eyes. It is as if they are just driven by the biological instincts in their bodies, living in a state of confusion, resigned to it, and dying in the twilight of life.

For them, the arrival of the Navy may be the biggest thing they have ever encountered in their lives.

Although the factory is abandoned, there are still many old factories in the town, which are usually used to store agricultural products.

When the navy came, the old sites of these factories became temporary barracks. Xia Linguo's temporary office is the director's office on the second floor of the copper smelting factory.

Yin Guyue held on to the rusted railing, pointed into the distance and said, "Look. ”

In the distance, a few dirty children with small baskets on their backs played in the streets, occasionally peeking at the soldiers with guns at the entrance of the temporary barracks. If the soldiers looked at them, they would disperse and hide in the corner to continue peeking.

Xia Linguo glanced at it and said, "A few children who collect wild vegetables to help supplement the family. After the Lin Navy came to Tongling Town, he did not disturb these ordinary residents, and even killed the lord of the manor and the defenders to distribute food to them, and they were naturally very curious and fond of us. ”

Naturally, the killing of landlords by the navy and the distribution of grain was not out of revolutionary considerations, but out of practical needs. First of all, the lord of the manor and the defenders here are sure to be killed, and if they get into any trouble, it will be too late; Secondly, the Navy's impoverished people here must not starve to death because of their arrival.

Although the Linhai Navy can beat the Heyang army violently, the Linhai Navy is after all an army that defends against the sea barbarians - their previous enemies are aliens, monsters, and natural enemies.

They are not an army that kills people professionally.

If it were to attack an army that was also heavily armed, they would not have much psychological pressure. It's like two beasts fighting for territory, and they can accept such a life-and-death struggle.

But killing unarmed compatriots, it's not the same.

Even if it was just because of their invasion, ordinary people were displaced and starved all over the wilderness, which was unacceptable to many Linhai sergeants - many young people who joined Linhai not only wanted to eat together, but also because being a Linhai sergeant was a very face-saving thing.

In order to encourage more young people to join the border army to fight against the barbarians, the Linhai Navy has given enough support in addition to material aspects: guidance on tactics, military salaries, and pensions...... Any ruling district that needs to fight against the barbarians will give great courtesy to the military in terms of propaganda.

In the name of righteousness, the army of justice, and the patriotic warrior.

It can be said that in the Morrowind area, you became a navy, and that is the good man Iron Lady; If you become a captain, it is simply a glorious achievement, and it is a merit to be written into the family tree.

Lan Yan wanted to attack Dongyang to blackmail the silver blood, and the opposition was the loudest, not at all the civilian system of Xingke County, but the upper and lower levels of the navy.

Because the navy is not a poor person who can't survive, although life is not much better, they are not much dissatisfied.

Rather than having a big vote with the general, they care more about the flag of the navy not being tarnished.

They just want to tell their children and grandchildren about their military life without any worries after returning to their hometowns.

Xia Linguo didn't know how Lan Yan persuaded the generals and colonies, but it was obvious that he did it: he only defeated the army along the way, did not behead prisoners of war, did not hurt the people, and Qiu did not commit any crimes.

Grabbing money and resources, of course, is what everyone wants to do.

But if you could plunder in the name of justice, wouldn't it be beautiful?

You must know that Lan Yan sent troops this time, and he also has the name of being a teacher.

He used the Heyang Army's brutal suppression of the Xiaojiushan miners' riot three years ago as an excuse to accuse the Heyang Army of having 'partial' corrupt officers who were bribed by wealthy businessmen, and even backlit elements lurking in the military system. He led his troops into the country, just to hold a joint military exercise with the Heyang army and help clear the maggots of the Heyang army......

Although the Lin Navy must have overstepped, the on Heyang Jun is also true, anyway, now there is a mess everywhere, and Yan Jing doesn't care at all, Lin Haijun only needs to give an excuse that can make his people feel at ease.

Since he intends to follow the path of the righteous army, the Linhai Navy must of course treat the people well. Anyway, they are not short of food for the time being, and distributing food to the people can not only exchange for fame, but also for the morale of the navy.

And.

With Lan Yan's means, taking the route of the righteous division, what can he obtain...... Nor is it necessarily less than the unrighteous teacher.

Yin Guyue pointed to the children in the distance and said, "Do you think they are happy?" ”

Xia Linguo shook his head: "I don't understand what you say. ”

"They're having a good time." Yin Guyue continued: "Although there is not enough food and clothing, there is almost no entertainment except for giving birth, and the oldest person is only 46 years old...... But they're still having a good time because everyone around them is the same, everyone is the same. ”

"The lord of the manor here is just a dog sent by the Silver-Blood Chamber of Commerce, and there are a few village girls waiting for him, and he can eat meat for every meal...... That's all. ”

"They don't leave this place for the rest of their lives, they work all day, they marry and have children, and then they die of old age...... But it doesn't matter, because they haven't seen the sky anywhere else, so they can enjoy themselves on this land. ”

"But the people of Xuanzhu County are different." Yin Guyue handed the newspaper to Xia Linguo: "Look at what is published here-'Should the poor have children?'" ''A boring and boring day in high society', 'How did I make my hundredth gold yuan from scratch'......"

"The last one is simply outrageous, he writes about a future world where everyone is equal, everyone can receive compulsory education in the country, extra money is paid for working more than eight hours, and people even have a national pension when they are old."

When Xia Linguo heard this, he turned to the last page and replied casually: "Isn't it good?" ”

"What a fart!" Yin Guyue scolded directly: "This newspaper is very popular in Xuanzhu County, even an eight-year-old child and eighty old lady can read it, and it is sold every week and circulated by everyone - that's why I said that the people in Xuanzhu County are miserable." ”

"They could have had the same happy births, happy work, happy deaths as the people here – but when they read the paper, they became unhappy."

"They will question social injustice, they will be angry at what has happened to them, and they will hate the officials and businessmen who are high above. But they can't do anything, and this resentment will only ruin themselves, make them completely lose their hope for life, and even let them die. ”

Yin Guyue sighed and said, "I heard that this newspaper is from the Silver Blood Jing family, and it is worthy of the Silver Blood Society." It seems that they want to completely break the backbone of the bottom and turn people into desireless machines. ”

Xia Linguo suddenly said: "I don't think so. ”

Yin Guyue glanced at him with some curiosity: "Oh? ”

Xia Linguo: "Why do you think that those angry people can't do anything?" ”

"Or else?" Yin Guyue asked rhetorically: "Although the Heyang Army can't defeat us, the power of the Weapon Legion is no longer surpassing the accumulation of numbers. As long as the Dongyang military, government, and business remain united, no matter how much trouble the bottom makes, it will just be a wave that can be extinguished. ”

"Isn't there a story in the newspaper? A group of people were trapped in a closed iron room, and there were many sleeping people in it who were about to suffocate to death, and they could have suffocated without suffering. You wake up these people now and let them suffer more than they are dying, even if it makes sense, it is only negative. ”

Xia Linguo: "But it is also written below this story that since someone has woken up, it cannot be said that there is no hope of destroying the iron house." ”

Yin Guyue shrugged: "But people can't demolish the iron house, and the civilians of Dongyang can't defeat the Silver Blood Society." ”

"It's hard to say."

Xia Linguo waved his hand, and the light explosion swept away, directly breaking the iron railing!

"Shine brightly, there is light."

After a moment of silence, Yin Guyue blinked, and a fine light appeared in her eyes: "Great, I'm about to be persuaded by you, Mr. Xia!" Sure enough, it's fun to talk to smart people! ”

Xia Linguo, who had never had negative emotions in his life, almost found it difficult to control a little regret this time.

It's miserable, it aroused the interest of this thing, and I knew it casually to fool him.

"Come, the people of the Silver Blood Club are also almost here, Mr. Xia will pick up the guests with me!"

"Thinking too much." Xia Linguo looked at the sunny sky: "They will come at least in the evening." ”

"Then I'll continue chatting with you!"

Accompany your mother...... Xia Linguo said calmly: "Don't you have anything else to do?" ”

"Lan Yan sent me to pick up the Silver Blood Society."

"What else?"

"It's gone."

"And what do you usually do?"

"Go to training with Lan Yan, help Lan Yan run errands, and accompany Lan Yan to compare. Alas, I suspect that Lan Yan secretly went to the Red Dream Field by himself, and deliberately didn't call me, I haven't touched a woman for a long time, so I couldn't help but play with my five girls when I marched two days ago......"

Xia Linguo glanced at him: "For example, now, General Lan doesn't need you by his side, what do you usually do at this time?" ”

Yin Guyue blinked: "When Lan Yan doesn't need me to follow, I'll ......"

"Speak ill of him all day."
