Therefore, the attitude of the powerful landlords in the country of flowers has always been that they only want land, not people, and even if they want people, they only need strong people and women......

On the contrary, the imperial court of the country of flowers was difficult to collect taxes on the strong, and the original policy was always inclined to support the yeoman peasant class.

It's just that as the imperial court is becoming more and more corrupt, the reparations for foreign land cession and the expenses continue to increase; The efficiency of internal administration has declined, and 20 years ago, 5 taels of 10 taels of silver could go into the treasury, but now there may not be 2 taels......

In such a situation, in order to maintain this imperial court, the only way to maintain the tax rate is to continue to increase, but the taxes of the powerful landlords are not easy to collect, or even not at all, so they can only drink to quench their thirst and keep catching the bully yeoman farmers to gather wool, and they are forced to go bankrupt in batches......

Some people may ask, are you not afraid that the peasants will not survive and rise up if you do this?

Maybe the court of the country of flowers is really not too afraid, the individual differences in this world are really huge, and it is almost impossible for the hungry and cold poor people to defeat those strong people with terrifying strength.

And even if there is really a fierce man who can't be measured by common sense, due to the situation of the country of flowers, the first headache will be the nearby heroes, and the court may wish they could fight to lose both!

In fact, in the eyes of the imperial court of the country of flowers, those who have strong military force, and even those who can produce strong people in batches from generation to generation, are the potential enemies who are really likely to overthrow themselves and change the dynasty, so the imperial court can only accommodate the powerful after the power is weakened.

As for the peasants who can't survive, even if they are forced to fall into the grass, they generally only dare to bully people who seem weaker than themselves, such as women and children......

That's why these guys in front of Mousse chose him as a "little monk" and Robin's mother and daughter after hesitating many times this day, which is really pitiful and hateful.

It's just that these poor and hateful fellows, as novices, don't know that women and children who dare to appear in such a wilderness without being guarded are often even more terrifying, and as a result, they hit their heads on the iron plate and their heads bleed!

However, Mousse did not think of the stupidity and ignorance of these novice robbers, but the desperate situation of the peasants of the country of flowers, "This is really a slave who has no chance...... This is what Mr. Lu Xun said, 'if you want to be a slave but you can't get it', right? ”

Having said that, even in ancient China on the earth, if the peasants wanted to rebel, the chance of success was actually very small, let alone Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, even Li Zicheng waited for two or three hundred years to come up with one!

It can only be said that the gap between people on the earth is not so big, and in addition, ancient China has been a complete literati society since the Song Dynasty, and the army is becoming more and more unable to fight.

In addition, I can probably only expect to meet "Qing officials" and "heroes......

Thinking of this, Mousse couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, with the current situation of the country of flowers, it is really a big problem area, and it is not much use to come to the "Qing Official", but the "hero" may make far more shocking deeds than on the earth.

However, as soon as Mousse asked, he learned that although there was indeed a legend of "heroes" in the country of flowers, these farmers had never seen them, and they couldn't even name specific people......

Mousse thought of a possible reason in a flash of thought:

"Also, ancient China on the earth was a literati society, and the folk warriors have always been suppressed, and they are oppressed like the poor at the bottom, so there can be more heroes with justice in their hearts, forming a chivalrous culture......"

"But in the land of flowers, the warriors of the people ...... Aren't they those powerful landlords? They are already the ruling class of the country themselves, so why should they stand up for the ruled class and oppose themselves? ”

"If the country of flowers is now on the verge of extinction, then there may still be a wave of salvation, so that many people who were originally born in the middle and upper classes join it, but now the country of flowers has not reached that level, and it is so difficult to survive that they can't survive, and for the time being, there are only poor farmers at the bottom......"

"So this period, for the bottom, it is the time when they feel the most desperate!"

Mousse sighed silently, waved his hand and let Homiz unfreeze the robbers, and then pondered what to do with them......

With the harsh laws that prevail in the pirate world, robbery is punishable by death even if it is attempted, but Mousse certainly wouldn't do that now.

First, Robin and her mother were nearby, and Mousse didn't want to leave a bad impression on them, and secondly, these failed robbers were also trying to survive, and although the robbers were doing evil, in Mousse's opinion, these people were always more pleasing to the eye than those "An'an starvation" who obediently waited for death after falling into despair, or even ended their own lives.

However, Mousse could not simply release these people, because even if they were free, they would not be able to live before......

Even after experiencing this defeat, the body is even weaker and the spirit is more and more sluggish, I am afraid that even ordinary women and children will not be able to snatch it, even if Mousse doesn't care about them doing evil again, they may not still have that ability.

By letting these prepared starvation people go directly, Mousse himself can be at ease, but it is actually no different from killing them, and even the latter can make them die a more painful death, and maybe more merciful!

"And give them some food and silver?"

Mousse immediately dismissed this thought, for whatever reason, these people were indeed evil, and if he gave them food or even money out of sympathy, would he not be encouraging them to do evil?

However, as long as these people need to pay for food and silver, and these benefits are not taken for nothing, then it cannot be regarded as encouragement......

So Mousse asked the robbers to carry the luggage for the three of them, and at the same time gave them enough rations in advance to make it to the next big city.

The service industry in the big cities is far more developed than in the countryside, and you may be able to find some work to make ends meet.

Even if not everyone finds a job, at least they have hope again, and Mousse is enough to explain to himself.

However, to Mousse's surprise, although these "former robbers" knelt down and thanked them one after another, their eyes did not look like they were grateful......
