In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Ningyuan and Liu Yong, under the leadership of Jace, walked in a residential area in Dongcheng District.

Along the way, all the residents looked at Jace with respect when they saw the emblem on Jace, which symbolized the rebellion.

In the past, they worked every day, but they could only get a little food, and even in winter, there was not enough charcoal fire to keep warm, but after the rebel group attacked the nobles the night before and liberated Dongcheng District, they could have enough food every day, even fresh fruits and vegetables.

It's only autumn, but the members of the rebel group have already sent charcoal fires to keep them warm from door to door, enough to spend the winter in luxury.

"Thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to conquer Dongcheng District smoothly."

Jace felt the gazes from nearby, then sighed to the two behind him.

This time, if there were no Jiang Ningyuan and the others, even if they could succeed in the end, they would definitely have to pay a greater price, not to mention how many ordinary members would be killed or injured, and even the deacons and knights might fall.

After all, they were not only short of weapons and armor, but even medicine and food were very scarce, even if they could raise a batch temporarily, it was obviously impossible to satisfy everyone.

And the appearance of Jiang Ningyuan and others happened to help them take down some of the nobles' warehouses, so in the final battle, they could face the encirclement and suppression of the nobles, have enough materials to resist, and successfully waited for the support to arrive.

It is precisely because of their appearance that the resistance organization has the strength to deal with the nobles of Dongcheng District, and at the same time, it can also have enough manpower to contain the nobles and powerhouses of the other four urban districts.

Otherwise, a scuffle will inevitably break out throughout the city, and at that point, the rebels will be at risk of being wiped out.

"Without your presence, the people here wouldn't have enough supplies to use."

After a pause, Jace sighed, "I'm afraid there aren't many people who can survive until winter comes." ”

When Jiang Ningyuan and the others heard this, while looking around, their eyes also showed some complicated colors.

Until then, they only knew about the city

There is a shortage of materials, whether it is medicine or food, or even clothing and fuel, etc., but after actually understanding it, a group of people found that it was not a shortage at all, but almost nothing!

Almost all the materials were concentrated in the hands of the nobles, who controlled the forces under their command, forced the commoners to work for them, and became thugs other than private soldiers, to oppress the common people even more.

In the vicious circle, it is no longer possible for ordinary people to hold on to the system of aristocracy.

It's not that no one wants to resist, it's just that they have no strength, and they seem so powerless in front of the nobles' thugs and private soldiers.

In the end, the vast majority of ordinary people, even resigned to their fate, can't fight anyway, can't escape, can only wait for death in despair.

"What is the aristocracy doing this for?"

Liu Yong asked out loud.

And this is also the reason why Jiang Ningyuan wants to know.

If it is said that the nobles are for enjoyment, but there is no need for them to oppress so ruthlessly, this is just killing chickens and eggs, once the people are all dead, where do these nobles go to show their glory, and where do they get the materials for enjoyment?

"Who else can know about this kind of thing except the nobles themselves?"

Jace scratched his head, and continued: "Actually, although these nobles oppressed the people before, they were not so ruthless. ”

He told the two that at least twenty years ago, although the aristocracy would also oppress and oppress, but the degree was not so serious, and the people at that time, although they were a little poor, still had some hope.

"How did I hear that this kind of behavior of the nobles has lasted for at least one or two hundred years, resulting in too many deaths in the city, and the population cannot go up until now?"

Liu Yong asked Jiang Ningyuan at the suggestion of Jiang Ningyuan.

Hearing this, Jace was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The statement you heard is not wrong, to be precise, more than two hundred years ago, the nobles and the people got along very well, and there was no such thing as oppression. ”

"But I don't know when it began, probably two hundred years ago, the aristocracy suddenly began to oppress the people, requiring everyone to pay a part of their daily work for the nobles to enjoy."

"At that time some people had opinions, but

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Most people think it's nothing, after all, only a small part is handed in, plus the gentleness of the nobles in the past, and it was their ancestors who used their lives to exchange for a good life for everyone. ”

Speaking of this, Jace's face darkened, as if he had fallen into some memory, and his face was full of yearning.

He slowly talked about the world two hundred years ago, when people needed to pay a small part of their labor income, but the rest was mostly after all, and every day was very comfortable, and the streets and alleys were full of children running and playing.

Gradually, however, every few years, the aristocracy demanded more and more contributions, up to one-third of the daily work of the people, until at that moment someone finally stepped forward.

That man was the spiritual symbol of the rebels, the first to stand up and openly question the rules of the aristocracy.

But no one responded to him, only dozens of arrows and feathers shot from all directions, killing him on the spot in front of the gate of the castle lord of the castle.

Since then, the aristocracy no longer has any disguise and disguise, not only asking people for supplies, but also starting to kill people without saying a word, not caring about the life and death of the people.

Even in order to control the people, the nobles recruited a group of unconscionable thugs with extravagant material comforts, let them replace the duties of the security guards, and began to bully ordinary people.

On that day, it was about one hundred and fifty years from now.

"In other words, the aristocracy first started two hundred years ago, spent fifty years, increased taxes to one-third of people's daily harvest, and then when someone stood up to question it, they directly died of all the disguises on their bodies?"

Liu Yong said with a deep groan.

Although he didn't understand what taxes meant, Jace nodded, and the other party summed it up correctly.

Seeing this, behind him who couldn't see, Jiang Ningyuan and the two glanced at each other, and they could both see the light in each other's eyes.

If it is not as expected, this point in time will be a very critical place.

It seems to explain why the aristocracy behaved in such an unreasonable manner, but it actually does much more than that.

The two of them could vaguely feel that the reason why the nobles did this would be one of the key factors in clearing the task.
