Most of the people in Kuiniu Village have suffered from the plague, but it is not without those who have survived.

Coupled with Li Yue's prevention and control manual, the plague in the surrounding villages and Kuiniu Village was soon effectively contained.

The Li family has made meritorious contributions to the prevention and control of the plague, and the imperial court awarded a reward, and for a time everyone in Shou County called the old lady of the Li family a living Bodhisattva.

The Li family suddenly has a tendency to become the first in Shou County!

But not long after the good news came, a bad news also came to Li Yue's ears.

There are rogues raging in Huainan, and now they are approaching Chaoshou County.

The imperial court is now too busy to take care of itself, so naturally it has no spare strength to clean up this gangster.

Of course, although no troops were sent to come, the five thousand soldiers in Huai'an City were settled outside Shou County.

It's just that these 5,000 soldiers, plus Shou County's own 5,000 soldiers, want to stop the 50,000 or 60,000 rogues, obviously there is something not enough.

"It's about the Liukou, this kind of major matter naturally has to be discussed by the three families together, and now Shou County is a very rich place in the Huainan region, and those thieves will definitely not let go of here."

Now the most panicked belong to the three major families of the Li, Zhou, and Huang families.

These rogues don't care if you are a good family or not, let alone whether you help the poor or not, what they want is for you to die, and your land and property will belong to them when you die.

Also flustered was the county lord who had been in office for three years in Huai'an City.

As soon as this adult learned that the rogue was about to attack, he visited the three major families of Shou County.

Its first choice is the Li family.

Now, whether it is the soldiers of the people or the armor sent by the imperial court, they are all under the control of the Li family, so it is the most important thing to hold your thighs as soon as possible.

"Just with our 10,000 soldiers, if we want to stop those rogues, I'm afraid it won't work." Hu Yongzhi is also the county leader of Huai'an City now, and his brows are furrowed.

"There are more than a million people in Huai'an City, why should we be afraid of less than 100,000 rogues?" Li Yue stood in the hall and looked curiously at the court official in front of him and asked.

If it weren't for his contribution to the plague, he would not be able to stand in the hall and listen to them talk about these secrets.

"Hehe, the millions of people in your mouth, I'm afraid that those rogues will come quickly, so that they can rebel together, they are all a group of people, what use can it be?" Hu Yongzhi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said helplessly.

After Li Yue heard it, he finally reacted.

The hierarchy between people in the Ming Dynasty did not exist all the time, and it was precisely because of this that those officials and clans never regarded the ordinary people below as human beings.

And the people are particularly hostile to those high-ranking families, so there is the current situation.

The more the people rebelled, the more these clans wanted to oppress and make them obedient.

But the more this is the case, the more people will rebel.

There is no way to dissolve the contradictions between classes and between classes.

This is not the world of equality and justice for all!

Thinking of this, Li Yue understood.

"In fact, it's not impossible, the major families have opened warehouses to release grain, and now the livelihood of the people in Huai'an City is already good compared with other places, and the reduction of taxes allows the people to see hope, and they will naturally not be mixed with those rogues."

Li Yue said with great ease.

But his words made Li Shouchang and Hu Yongzhi's faces change suddenly.

"Shut up! Get out of here! The old lady's reaction was very exaggerated, and her angry appearance seemed to be eager to beat Li Yue out.

Li Yue suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

At this time, people attach great importance to the foundation of their ancestors, and his suggestion is that if it is light, it is a loser, and if it is heavy, it is to disregard the life and death of the clansmen and harm the clan industry.

So he didn't even argue, arched his hand at the two of them, and hurriedly walked outside and left the hall.

"Let the county see it and smile, the hairy boy doesn't know what to do, don't bother with it."

Seeing Li Yue leave with interest, the old lady of the Li family immediately changed to a smile and said to Hu Yongzhi.

"The old lady is serious, the child's joke should not be taken seriously, but the old lady still needs to think about the affairs of the rogues, if Huai'an City is really broken by then, I am afraid that it will be a sea of blood again."

Hu Yongzhi also shifted the topic to Liukou with great interest.

After another half an hour, Li Yue was called to the old lady's room.

Hu Yongzhi had already left the Li Mansion at this moment and rushed to the Zhou family and the Huang family.

"Tell me, what the hell do you think, that kind of thing can be said in front of outsiders?" Old Lady Li sighed and asked.

"My grandson knows it's wrong, but I can't say that, but I have to do it." Li Yue said with a firm look in his eyes.

Hearing this, Old Lady Li couldn't help but jump her eyelids after all.

"Nonsense, do you know that if you really do this, how can the imperial court spare my Li family after the incident? At that time, I am afraid that the whole clan will be implicated by you. Although the old lady said this, her tone was not serious.

"Grandpa, the Ming Dynasty is over, although the rogue is not very loud now, but now the court is rotten, the clans around the country are oppressing the people, and the people under the world have the intention of rebelling. The foreign people knocked on the customs, and the court was even more distracted from dealing with those rogues, and it would not take long for the world to be in chaos. ”

What Li Yue said at this moment can be said to be a great rebellion, but Old Lady Li became silent after hearing it.

There is nothing wrong with what Li Yue said, he knows better than Li Yue how chaotic the world is now.

If it's just one city and one place, it's just like that, but the whole Ming Dynasty is like this.

How can there be no chaos in this world?

"So you're going to rebel?" Old Lady Li looked at Li Yue with burning eyes, and said in a rather calm tone.

"No, it's to govern Huainan for the emperor, and now the government is mostly mediocre officials who don't act, what else will they do besides looting money and silver? If this continues, sooner or later Huainan will be completely chaotic, and now that we are in troubled times, if we want to survive, we must do so! ”

Li Yue said with a firm gaze.

He doesn't want to be a dead soul under the country, if the world is in turmoil, if he doesn't have the strength to save his life, he can only become a pig and dog under the knife of others, and let others slaughter him.

"If the rogue breaks the city, it will inevitably be plundered, what should the Li family do when the time comes? Barbarians will inevitably massacre and loot when they break through, what should my Li family do, for the sake of the Li family, it should be the same, and 10,000 soldiers are not enough. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Li finally understood the inner meaning of Li Yue's tax reduction.

Stabilize people's hearts first, and then recruit troops to increase their momentum.

On the surface, it is to deal with the rogues, but in fact, it is to strengthen itself.
