Chapter 477: Civil Uprising

"I heard that it only takes three or five people to sow seeds with that sowing machine, and it takes more than half a day to complete the entire land of Zhuangzi!"

"This is much faster than farmers working in the fields, and they don't need to feed so many farmers, and those landlords and family members are afraid that they will laugh."

"Heh, what if you have this seeding device? Crops need to be grown and harvested with manpower. ”

"Now that there are no corresponding equipment, the owners of those devices still can't drive the farmers away."

Rumors of these kinds spread throughout the capital, and some farmers working in Zhuangzi heard about it and became more and more panicked.

Although they also knew that at this juncture when the harvesting equipment had not been studied, they could not be driven away by the master of the Zhuangzi.

But even so, two devices have been studied, and they still speculate.

Some people even claimed that the people who studied the government had already begun to study the two remaining instruments, and the results were about to be produced.

When even some people panicked, they made trouble outside the door of the research office.

Li Mao and other officials lived in the house in the backyard of the research mansion, and they were woken up early in the morning by the sound of hues and voices outside the mansion.

When he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw the people who were kneeling on the ground.

These people knelt outside the research mansion, weeping bitterly, and some people pointed at the sleepy-eyed Li Mao and scolded angrily.

"You dog officials, you just want to drive us to a dead end!"

"What good is it for us to kill us! Immediately smash those farming equipment! Can't go any further! ”

"God, the prince of the dynasty will also force us to death! I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a benevolent person, but how could I have expected him to be so careless about human life! ”

This is really too much!

Hearing that someone mentioned the crown prince, Li Mao was thrilled and suddenly came back to his senses.

He grimaced, glared at the weeping people, and then turned his head to look at the officials who were standing aside.

Immediately, someone turned around and hurried away.

A moment later, the official arrived with the county order and more officers and soldiers and pulled the people up.

Li Mao just wanted to lock up these people, in case they continued to spread rumors and tarnish the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As a result, as soon as he made this move, those people suddenly became even more unrelenting.

There are also people who are making trouble, saying that Li Mao has arrested them and wants to kill them!

On that day, there were many people who saw the county government send troops, and as soon as the news spread, the people added fuel and vinegar, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became.

When Chen Mu learned the news, the rumors of this matter had already evolved into a river of blood flowed into a river of blood outside the government.

"Now the rumor has spread to the surrounding counties, and it is also spreading to the farther cities......

The subordinate arched his hand at Chen Mu, the corners of Chen Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and then sighed silently.

He really didn't expect that the imagination of these people was so rich.

But then again, when this matter came out, there was no benefit to the implementation of farming equipment, Chen Mu frowned.

"Let people clarify this matter first, and besides, tell the people about the application of the farming equipment and my intentions, and it will be good for us to clarify this matter as soon as possible."

"If rumors are allowed to develop, the situation will become even more turbulent."

The subordinate nodded and drank again.

Just as he was about to turn around and retreat, Chen Mu heard a rush of footsteps outside the hall.

The next moment, one of his subordinates rushed into the main hall and knelt in front of Chen Mu with a thud.

With an eager look on his hand, Chen Mu's eyelids jumped, and some ominous premonitions were inexplicably born in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, he listened to what his subordinate said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are people on the southern border who are leading troops to revolt!"

"Uprising?!"

Chen Mu glared at him in shock, and when his subordinates heard this, they nodded, and made peace with each other, and explained what they had learned.

Li Mao led people to arrest those people, and it had been two or three days since they were locked up.

But word of mouth spread among the people, and the news had reached the southern border.

In the south, there are countless bandits gathered and ready to move.

Chen Mu originally planned to lead his troops to encircle and suppress those bandits after a while.

As a result, it didn't work out, and after those bandits learned about it, they actually took this opportunity to revolt angrily.

said that he wanted to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty and kill himself and the emperor above him.

"Is it really just because of this that the uprising happened?"

Chen Mu was a little surprised.

The subordinate sighed, nodded, responded, and then said helplessly.

"It's true that just because of this, no, more accurately, they already had the idea of an uprising."

"It's just that this time it's a one, they got a chance, and they want to take advantage of the situation to make trouble, His Royal Highness the Prince, what should we do now?"

"How?"

"What else, since they want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, then we can only take advantage of the situation, I have long been ready to take action against those bandits in the south."

Chen Mu sighed, waved his hand, and ordered people to mobilize troops and horses to suppress the southern uprising bandits with heavy troops.

After all, this is a major event of the uprising, and of course the general must be sent to cook.

General Zhang, who was still in the capital and was going to the border, heard about this matter, and immediately took the initiative to ask for help.

Chen Mu thought about it, and the border where General Zhang was stationed was quite calm, and there was no incident.

"Come on, after you go to the southern border, settle the matter as soon as possible, and then set off directly to the border city where you should be stationed."

"I trust you, you can take care of this as soon as possible."

General Zhang smiled and said yes.

Chen Mu waved his hand at him, General Zhang turned around and hurriedly retreated, and he waited for people to go to the southern border.

The uprising should have been suppressed smoothly, but it didn't come to fruition, and in less than half a month, news came.

It was that General Zhang who disappeared on the southern border.

At the same time, Chen Mu's clarifying words did not win the trust of the people in the capital.

There are still people speculating that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has launched the farming equipment, but he is uniting the family and wants to force them ordinary farmers to a dead end.

All kinds of rumors in the capital are frequent, and because Li Mao suppressed some farmers before.

After a few days, there were rumors in the capital that some people intended to take their families to the southern border to join the rebels.

The comings and goings of those people, Chen Mu naturally had no way to manage them.

If the city is closed and those people are trapped in the city, it will cause dissatisfaction among those people and make the rumors of the people even worse.

"I always feel that things are not quite right, like someone deliberately used Li Mao's suppression of the people to stir up public complaints."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, should we send someone to inquire among the people?"

Lord Ye frowned and pondered, and arched his hand to Chen Mu,

Hearing this, Chen Mu nodded, and responded.

"I've sent someone to inquire about this matter, and I think someone will send news in the next few days."
