Chapter 757: The Miserable People
Lu Ning was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that these people would have such a hard time.
When he came here just now, he thought that the people were living well.
But now I know that all this is just what it looks good on the surface, and it is not. Especially the scholar next to him, when he said that he was almost starved to death, the panic in his eyes, and the despair at that time, did not look like acting at all.
Lu Ning fully believed that the other party would be able to say such a thing.
Therefore, Lu Ning has always had some feelings, in the end, the people under the world are not so easy to betray the dynasty and their emperor at that time.
The main thing is who can feed them, then they listen to whomever they say, hasn't it been like this since ancient times?
Of course, these people in front of them have done wrong, and they have joined the White Lotus Sect at will, which is indeed a wrong thing for them.
But they're just trying to fill their stomachs.
After Lu Ning thought of this, he felt a little headache.
Because according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, then all these people are guilty, and he can immediately let the people of Jinyi Wei take them away.
But from the perspective of others, then Lu Ning feels that these people don't really want to become believers in the White Lotus Sect, at least in his opinion, they are still saved, as long as they can eat enough, then there will definitely be people who will break away from the White Lotus Sect.
Some people discussed very enthusiastically, and when they saw that Lu Ning didn't speak, one of them came over and said to Lu Ning, "This little brother, you look, let me tell you so."
"In addition to the scholar who was in distress just now, there is also our family who were also rescued by those adults in the White Lotus Sect."
Lu Ning saw an old man who was about seventy years old, and when he walked in front of him, the other party was already full of gray hair and staggering.
It looked very distressing, Lu Ning listened to the other party talk about the previous things.
"At that time, most of the people in our village were starving to death, especially my son was also arrested and strong, I don't know what happened to him, I was only at home with my wife, and in the face of Daming's taxes, we couldn't afford to pay them at all."
"Those officers and soldiers are making things difficult for us. Seeing that we were all about to die at the hands of officers and soldiers, suddenly someone from the White Lotus Sect passed by this place and rescued the two of us, and then left us two with some food and all kinds of vegetables."
"Let's live well, my wife and I were very grateful to the people of the White Lotus Sect at that time, if it weren't for the White Lotus Sect, we would have died a long time ago."
"You say, the White Lotus Sect can be so generous to old people like us who are dying of death, why can't we join them?"
Everyone else nodded.
said, "Uncle Ning is right, and it was later because Uncle Ning received help from the people of the White Lotus Sect, so we began to contact most of the desperate and destitute people here to join the White Lotus Sect."
"And we don't regret it, it's our honor to be able to join the White Lotus Sect with a little more!"
"That's right, if I had to do it all over again, I'd still choose it this way!"
A lot of people have said it.
With a determined light flashing in his eyes, Lu Ning reacted.
The old man in front of him, who was not very well-dressed, turned out to be a chess piece picked out by the White Lotus Sect, and he specially spread rumors among the people that they would join the White Lotus Sect
This is also what the old man is willing to choose.
Because he did receive the kind help of the White Lotus Sect.
Therefore, he didn't have much time left in his old life, and he was willing to dedicate himself to the White Lotus Sect.
Lu Ning shook his head.
These things are not strange to him at all, they are normal, but they are also too pitiful.
Two old men in the twilight of life, with no food, had to hide in the hut, cold and hungry.
They will certainly not be grateful to the Ming in such a situation, but if someone gives it to them
Order food and tell them that there will be more people like them who can be helped.
Then they will definitely feel that this is a savior sent by God, and they will naturally be willing to serve each other and be willing to sacrifice their lives.
After all, many of these ordinary people are simple.
The belief in the hearts of most of them is that if you are kind to me, I will repay you with ten points, so the whole city has become like this, no wonder no one, it can only be said that the situation of Daming caused this scene.
I believe that in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, there will still be many places where the White Lotus Sect is distributed, recruiting their followers.
But Lu Ning believes in one thing, that is, as long as these people see clearly, although the White Lotus Sect can give them food for a short time and let them survive, but if this goes on for a long time, won't the entire world want to get something for nothing?
Although a large number of them are desperate and have tried many ways to still have a hard time, or are about to die.
But Lu Ning believed that more people would only need to follow the White Lotus Sect and believe in all the orders issued by the White Lotus Sect because they heard that the White Lotus Sect was willing to provide them with food and drink for free, including a place to sleep.
Then those who are lazy will also feel that this is a way, and then agree to become believers in the White Lotus Sect.
So Lu Ning just wanted to dispel these people's thoughts, he said to the old man in front of him, "Uncle Ning, I know that you had a very hard time in the past, but have you ever thought that Da Ming will slowly get better one day, although we may not see that kind of future, but our descendants will always see it."
