Chapter 237: No Tao is My Way
Ten days later, Si Shengnan quickly whipped to Fengcheng Mansion.
Ten days later, Yu Deshui had already begun to command the disciples of Dinghai Pavilion to start transporting grain to Hedong, and Liang Yu also rushed to Fengcheng Mansion with the information they had explored.
Wang Rui also used his cronies to pretend to be refugees, and found a group of guys from the refugee pile who were also impersonating.
Wang Rui is not good at teaching his subordinates how to do it word by word, he will only choose the right person, and then give full play to the ability of his subordinates.
"As long as you look, whoever has their eyes rolling around, they are definitely not hungry and panicked. If you're not hungry at this time, it's right to catch it. ”
"What did you do if you caught it?"
"Hungry for a few days, compare it with the previous one. ”
Wang Rui only said what the Hou Ye asked him to do, and the "um!" at the end solved the problem.
After some torture, the people who couldn't bear it finally said their plan: "We don't want to coerce the victims to do anything big. We just want to find a place to reopen the mountain gate. ”
Zhou Zhe obviously didn't believe the leader's words.
"What is the connection between you reopening the mountain gate and holding the people hostage?"
"The people fled, and the rest of the land was nothing of ignorance, and it was taken over to the government. When the time comes, we only need to organize a group of young people and buy a few pieces of land, and we can set up a mountain gate. ”
Zhou Zhe finally understood that the crux of the problem was really on the land, and it was actually on the land. In order to reopen the mountain gate, they turned them into locusts in such a grand manner, and they went all the way to rob all the way, and then they waited to be yellow birds.
But there are so many good things.
The head was cut off and hung directly at the gate of the city.
Punish someone as a warning to others.
It's not that the people are unconscious, it's just that most of them won't take the step of rebellion until they are forced to do so. Even if everyone knows that there is no way to survive in rebellion. Killing the big brother in the lead, and then recruiting a group of young people to work in the refugee pile, and giving them food to feed their families as a reward can reduce the risk of civil unrest.
In the end, let Wang Rui's group of people who disguised the victims continue to disguise, report the situation in the victims every day, and control the public opinion among the victims and those who have the orientation of taking the lead in the big brother.
This is the result of ten days of Zhou Zhe, and Fengcheng Mansion has stabilized.
But when he was about to go to Yuncheng, the capital of Hedong Province, Liang Yu also came. brought the last thing he wanted to see, but the information he deserved.
Natural disasters are man-made disasters.
The flow of the Rootless River at the confluence of the gentle river east and south of the river divides the center of the Kyushu continent into the east and the river, and here, it should be the richest plain, such as the river province.
Originally, everything was the same, but Yipintang controlled Hedong for many years, which made Hedong look less rich.
Later, the relatives came and got the land that was divided, but the land was not fertile enough and was some distance from the bank of the Rootless River. So what to do?
Excavation of aqueducts.
It is said that the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill, not to mention the canal, even if the flow rate of the rootless river is slow in the south of the Hedong River, it is also the first river in the world, and the embankment that is higher than the surface of the earth has existed for many years and must be strengthened every year. And now? Dig up a section of your house. A section of his house was dug up. If you dig it up, if you spend more money on the aqueduct, it will be considered for the benefit of the country and the people.
However, it was only a few months, and how could the relatives who were in a hurry manage so much, how could they dig up a well-set canal. They have a fluke mentality, use it first, there should be no accident, and the water flow is not urgent.
If there is only one such irrigation canal, at most one county will be broken, but what if there are several?
Soon, some people discovered the water in the canal, and it was getting faster and faster.
"It's going to be soon. It's raining upstream!" the relatives thought, not taking it seriously at all.
However, the canal is not made of stone, and the connection between the canal and the embankment of the Rootless River is not much reinforced.
And so, the once-in-a-century flood came.
So, they reported it directly: "Natural disaster, flood is coming." Hedong is in an emergency. ”
The relatives were a little panicked, after all, they were the initiators, and the main ones were also flooded, and their tenants also came to beg them for food and a way to live.
But when they see the price of grain rising, when they see that a large amount of land has no owner, when they see that the treasury is abundant.
The frightened heart finally stopped pounding, and was replaced by a moment of cannibalistic ambition and a jump of excitement.
In Hedong, no family is innocent.
Zhou Zhe closed his eyes, how many people do you want me to kill before you are willing? How many people do you have to die before you feel guilty?
Originally, he thought that the man-made disaster might have been caused by the corruption of local officials and the embezzlement of special funds for the construction and reinforcement of the river embankment. But now, seeing the results, my heart is as cold as ice.
Si Shengnan pressed his hand on Zhou Zhe's temple from behind and pressed it gently.
After a while, Zhou Zhecai asked: "Does Su Daosan have land in Hedong?"
Si Shengnan didn't know what to say, and at this time, he was still caring about the brother who had left him.
"Yes, it's in Yuncheng Mansion. It is the emperor's fiefdom. Si Shengnan shattered Zhou Zhe's last expectation of human nature.
A dragon slay boy and eventually become an evil dragon. Even if this matter has nothing to do with him, I'm afraid, he is also an insider.
"There is another thing, the capital of Yuncheng seems to have begun to open warehouses to release grain. On the way back, we also met a grain delivery team, which was full of people and grain. Liang Yu added, but he didn't dare to look at Zhou Zhe's expression at the moment.
At this moment, Zhou Zhe's face was calm, he was indifferent to everything, and he seemed expressionless, but in fact he was extremely angry.
"I see. You go and rest first! I think about it. Zhou Zhe didn't open his eyes, and everyone left silently.
Lin Xiaoer turned back one step at a time, he could feel the change in Zhou Zhe's aura at this moment, his brother, he was about to kill.
Now what he Brother Zhou is thinking about is probably what method to use and what reason to kill people!
Lin Xiaoer's thoughts were roughly the same. Zhou Zhe is really thinking about what reason to use to kill people and what reason to punish his heart.
Punish the heart first, or kill first.
What Qi Yuan is doing now is disaster relief, that is, doing things according to the emperor's orders, and it seems that he is doing it well. But how could Zhou Zhe guess.
Some of the remnants of Yipintang are thinking of buying apprentices to rebuild the mountain gate in this man-made disaster, so what about them?
The good thing about being disappointed in human nature is that you always think of the worst and then plan for the worst. At the end of the day, if you find a little bit of humanity shining through, it's like a gift from God.
This is Si Shengnan's perspective in the past, and it is also Zhou Zhe's now.
"I heard Xin Chai say that you once carved the words "murder and heart" in the cave in the northern plains. It's really a little envious, how are you going to punish those people's greed?" Si Shengnan didn't seem to think it was a big deal, and told the secret she had taken out of the mouth of Xin Chai, a person who didn't have much of a city.
As soon as Zhou Zhe heard this, he broke free of Si Shengnan's hand, straightened up, and looked back at her
"What do you want to say?"
Si Shengnan smiled, but there were countless golden winds and jade dews
"You summoned me in a hurry, that's it?"
Zhou Zhe shut up.
Si Shengnan continued: "Now let's think about the worst, everything in Hedong has been dealt with. What should you do? There are nearly 10 million people in Hedong, and only a few state capitals will not be affected. Now, if these people are not well accommodated, they will sooner or later become a disaster. Moreover, placement, no matter where it goes, will become a burden within half a year. ”
Zhou Zhe nodded, Si Shengnan reminded right, first of all, what should be solved is the problem of refugees.
You continue. ”
Si Shengnan talked about it: "Before solving the refugees, we must first solve the people's hearts, the people's hearts are unstable, I am afraid that what they do is the opposite direction, maybe they will be used again, and then cut a wave of wool, after all, they are the main force of disaster relief now, and they are also the people's wishes." ”
These words made Zhou Zhe's eyes condense, this, what she said is not bad at all, the common people, he is always whoever gives them food, who first tells them who is good to them, who will win the hearts of the people.
So, back to that topic. Murder and heart. Expose their crimes to the public, get back the hearts of the people, and kill them justifiably. And then clean up the rest of the mess. If you don't have a good plan and a crime. If you kill him, you are the enemy of the people of Hedong, and even if you do good deeds, they think you have ulterior motives. Because whoever kills a good person must be a bad person. ”
Zhou Zhe frowned, the person who kills the good person must be the bad person. This is the thinking of the simple common people.
Now, the people of Hedong are afraid that Qi Yuan and the group of people who took their land and everything are good people, and they are still distributing food to them and opening porridge fields to thank Dade. Think of them as reborn parents, saints in the world.
If you kill good people, no matter how good you are to them, the most they will remember is that you killed their benefactor. If Zhou Zhe intercepted the grain transported into Hedong again, the people's anger estimated that he would be able to eat him alive.
Qi Yuan, maybe he won't have this height, he just got such a good situation by luck.
But this luck made Zhou Zhe's difficulty climb in vain. If it weren't for Si Shengnan's point out, he would probably have done a good deed, and he would have been scolded by the people, eager to eat his meat.
"Then is there any way now?" Zhou Zhe has already made up his mind, and what is wrong now is the right way.
Si Shengnan's smile was unfathomable: "The method is naturally there, as long as you don't feel disgusting, don't dislike the table, you can do it." ”
"Let Xin chase him and kill him in the dark? Zhou Zhe thought she was talking about assassination.
But he never thought that Si Shengnan smiled even happier: "Xin Chai wants to know that you said that the assassination is disgusting if it is not on the stage, do you think she will turn her face with you?"
Zhou Zhe was depressed, and it seemed that another pigtail had been caught.
"Seriously. ”
Si Shengnan nodded: "Planting." ”
Zhou Zhe directly denied: "I said, isn't it teasing me! How to plant it? What are you kidding? Even if he is greedy for 1.8 million taels of silver, he can't afford to make waves." ”
Si Shengnan shook his head: "I didn't say that you should plant these innocuous things. ”
"What's that?"
"Rebellion. ”
The two words that came out of Si Shengnan's mouth were like gold and stone.
Zhou Zhe frowned: "What's the method?" ”
"The people have always known that rebellion is a sin that cannot be re-died, and it is a heinous sin. Although they will take this step as a last resort. But if someone told them that the reason why Qi Yuan and the others were so good to them was because they wanted them to rebel with Qi Yuan. When the time comes, catch a few more typical people who speak for Qi Yuan and kill them, because he is the person arranged by Qi Yuan. The result will be different. ”
Zhou Zhe squinted, already moving: "What else?"
"And then shake out the matter of the relatives of the Rootless River embankment opening countless canals, the purpose is for the convenience of them to coerce the people, do you think it is feasible?"
Zhou Zhe nodded and added: "If they have already obtained the land in Hedong and shake this matter out, then the people will understand that they have no food, no drink and no land, so they can only rebel." Si Shengnan, where did you learn?"
Si Shengnan smiled playfully: "You don't need to learn, you don't have to learn, you don't have to learn." ”
"I believe you have ghosts. Zhou Zhe looked incredulous.
"One day, I dreamed of a man whose face I couldn't see clearly. He told me that people in this world live in a very small circle. Si Shengnan put his slender fingers into Zhou Zhe's teacup, dipped some water, and drew a circle on the table: "This is the benevolence, righteousness and morality of the act." ”
Then she rowed a bigger one outside of this circle
"This is the so-called royal law. ”
"This is the so-called Heavenly Dao. ”
"See, most people live in the innermost circle, and you Zhou Zhe. Your actions have transcended the royal law, and you are free from the heavenly way and the royal law. Therefore, you can do more than your master, and you can do more than Yang Jue. ”
Zhou Zhe has already understood that no way is detachment. Without a way, it is a collection of thousands of ways for my way.
