Chapter 11 Before the Uprising

At the end of July, the fragrance of rice is permeated, the summer cicadas are singing, the golden ears of rice are swaying in the wind, and the faces of the farmers are filled with joy that is difficult to hide.

Guancheng, court

"Report to the city lord, this year's harvest will be completed in about mid-August." An official reported to Liu Longyang, the city lord.

"Very good, this year's grain collection task will be completed by you, and after the work is completed, there will be a lot of rewards." The corners of Liu Longyang's mouth rose slightly, and the farmer's grain harvest also means that the market transaction will usher in another peak, and most of the commission in the market will go into Liu Longyang's private pocket.

"Yes, under the trust of the city lord, I will definitely complete the task on time and in quantity." After thanking the city lord, the official left, and there was joy on his face that could not be concealed, everyone knew how thick the oil and water of this errand was, he could forcibly buy the peasants' grain at a lower grain price, and then sell it on the market at a higher price, thinking of this, his heart was secretly happy. Of course, compared with the amount of market flow, Liu Longyang will not care about the corruption of officials at all, not to mention giving his subordinates certain benefits in order to capture the hearts of his subordinates.

South Creek House

Jiurin Nanxi communicated frequently with Su Han'er through the shadow guard, and still entertained patients during the day, after the last friendship at the city lord's birthday ceremony, many high-ranking families recognized this cheap medical hall, and at the same time, many clansmen have received treatment, and the treatment effect is also jaw-dropping, but unfortunately there are only 10 places.

Of course, this is only known to the upper class, and occasionally some people still hear some rumors, but most civilians still don't know, even if there is a notice posted in Jiulin Nanxi, most people still won't believe it.

Early this morning, Jiurin Nanxi woke up from a dream and found Su Han'er sleeping next to the bed, and his movement of getting up also woke up Su Han'er, and then gave her a smile, "Welcome back, you've worked hard for this time." ”

"It turns out that you still say words of thanks, and during my absence, you sold me again." Su Han'er seemed to be puffing up.

"It's just a delaying tactic, I didn't really sell you this time." Jiurin Nanxi laughed.

"It's up to you, I'll sleep a little longer." Su Han'er lay down again.

Looking at Su Han'er's tired appearance, she must have been tired during this time, so she touched her head, "It's okay, let's have a good rest." ”

Outside the city, farming area

The farmers looked at this golden piece, full of joy, some people under the big tree to enjoy the shade, some people in the rice field to watch the rice, children playing, chickens and dogs smelling each other, everyone a happy scene, are looking forward to the harvest. But at this moment, a deafening roar erupted from the high mountains in the far distance, and the flood of the distant mountains was like thousands of fierce beasts rushing, roaring along the river, because the towering mountains brought great room for acceleration, and its speed could be thousands of miles a day.

When the flood hit the boulder, it stirred up monstrous waves, and the water column hundreds of meters high was like a big palm towards the agricultural area, half of the sky was dyed yellow by the dusky flood, roaring all the way, the surrounding trees were uprooted, and the loose soil was as clean as if it had been washed away, revealing the white rocks underneath.

"Run, the flood is coming!" One of the farmers was the first to react, and he hurriedly shouted.

At this time, the people in the farming area have become a pot of porridge, the city guards have found these abnormalities, and quickly notified the high-level, the high-level also showed great panic about this notice, in order to avoid the flood affecting themselves, so the high-level reply was to close the city gate, and the soldiers were quite willing to carry out this order, they were also afraid that the flood would affect themselves, so they immediately closed the city gate and opened the city flood control system.

The peasants kowtowed on the ground in the hope of taking refuge in the city, but the guards had no intention of opening the city gates, and taunted that these peasants were inferior and should die, seeing that the torrent was getting closer and closer, the peasants had no choice but to move to higher places.

The flash flood has arrived, destroying all agricultural crops in a devastating manner, scattering the simple dwellings of the peasants, and the lower hills are washed by the flood, and a large number of peasants are carried away by the flood and disappear into the boundless yellow waves.

"Daddy!" The cries of children came and went, echoing among the hills.

"Child, where's my child?" The woman's heart-rending cries flowed like a flood over the city of Kochi.

"My family, my family!" The man's roar almost drowned out the roar of the flood, and one second there was a laughing family, and the next second his wife was separated and the elders left. Great despair hung over the peasants like a dark cloud.

The flood lasted all day, and the higher hills were crowded with survivors, shivering together, and feeling the cold of winter in August when the sun was high.

The flood gradually receded, and the land gradually appeared in front of the farmers, this land was as desolate as if it had experienced a war, and there was no life at all, the golden farmland, the green vegetable garden, now only the loess remained, and the farmer's house was only wreckage.

The peasants began to walk down the hill one by one, the heart-rending cries had subsided, and all that remained was despair deep into the bone marrow, everything was gone, it happened in just one day, the deep cold made them no longer have the strength to cry, some people looked for their families, some people looked for the wreckage of their houses, some people knelt on their farmland, and some people frantically dug in the mud and sand, hoping to find a little leftover food.

"It's gone, hahahahaha, everything is gone, wife, children, food, house, it's all gone, hahahahahaha" A man looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, he knelt on his farmland, looking at everything desolate, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and then staggered towards a huge stone and hit it headfirst.

There was a muffled sound of "pop", the man's neck was bent ninety degrees, his brain was mixed with blood flowing out of his head, and he died extremely desperately, this tragic situation also shocked the people around, but no one took another look, who is in the mood to pay attention to others in this situation......

Three days later, the city gate was opened, and the city issued a flood cleaning task, and a large number of residents received the task to clean up the sediment outside the city, and at the same time, Jiulin Nanxi and Su Han'er also took the opportunity to leave the city and secretly went to the farming area.

Jiurin Nanxi stood on a high mountain, looking at the desolate scene here, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, that's right, this is Jiurin Nanxi's plan, people will only know how to resist if they are forced into a desperate situation, she ordered Su Han'er to disguise the destruction of the reservoir as an accident, the reservoir finally collapsed because it could not withstand the water pressure, and the flood was about to break out, completely destroying the reservoir embankment, and the huge flood completely destroyed the bottom line of farmers' survival, and became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.

Jiu Rin Nanxi and Su Han'er dressed themselves up like a flower child and walked towards the peasant gathering place.

"Hey~ I heard that this flood was completely due to the government's refusal to allocate funds to repair the reservoir, resulting in the collapse of the reservoir due to disrepair. Jiu Rin Nanxi roared indignantly.

"My husband, my children, my house is gone, it's all the government's work, they're singing and dancing in the city, we're displaced, they're closing the gates just to keep us low, dirty people from entering the city." Su Han'er catered to it.

"The government will soon come to collect rent, we have lost everything, and we will inevitably be severely punished, are you willing to be oppressed all the time?" Jiurin Nanxi looked righteous again.

The peasants below were silent.

"We work hard all year round, but those people don't treat us as human beings at all, we provide them with food, let them have a wine pond and meat forest in the city, but they can't even let us go in and take refuge, not to mention that this flood is caused by all of them." Jiurin Nanxi roared.

"We are on the verge of death, and the officers and men are still struggling with each other, and they treat us like a mustard." As she spoke, Su Han'er pretended to cry, the dust and mud on her face covered up her beautiful face, but her pitiful appearance at this time resonated with many people.

"What are we going to do, are we going to obey their will and die a humble death? Do we want to be obscure, dedicating our lives to the end of being shunned? Do we just accept the fate of our own family? Jiu Rin Nanxi's voice trembled.

"Yes, my wife died in the icy flood, and they killed her." A hot-blooded young man finally couldn't help but stand up, his name was Wang Xu, tall and strong, he was dissatisfied with the oppression of the government since he was a child, and at this time, after the instigation of Jiu Rin Nanxi and Su Han'er, he finally stood up.

"This big brother is right, they killed them, where should we go?" Jiurin Nanxi added fuel to the fire again at this time.

"We can't see the future, we have nothing left, the government not only does not support us, but also oppresses us, we can't accept our fate like this, we have to resist." Wang Xu was furious, and at this time emotions gradually overwhelmed reason.

"Big brother, I, Xiao Li, am willing to follow my eldest brother, rebel against the government, and rebel against Liu Long's violence. Politics, preaching the equality of business and agriculture, we must resist! Jiurin Nanxi shouted.

The peasants below were boiling, and several young people who had a good relationship with Wang Xu also stood up.

"Brother Wang, we listen to you, to organize the surviving peasants, we must give an explanation from the government."

"Yes, we have no way to survive, even if we die, we have to bite this dog city lord hard."

"Equality of business and peasants, overthrow violence. Politics! Jiu Rin Nanxi gradually retreated behind everyone, and shouted again.

"Equality of business and peasants, overthrow violence. Politics! Wang Xu also shouted.

The crowd was completely boiling, "Merchants and peasants are equal, overthrow the tyranny. Politics! Equality of business and peasants, overthrow violence. Politics! Equality of business and peasants, overthrow violence. Politics! ”

"My hard work for a year came to naught, and my two children who were waiting to be fed died in the flood because of Liu Longyang's wife." A big man screamed and roared to release his emotions.

Gradually, the movement here became bigger and bigger, and the surrounding peasants gradually surrounded them, and after a while, there was a sea of people here, and the slogans of the mountains and seas resounded all over the world, at this time, Xiao Li's name also spread in the core of the peasant uprising, Jiu Rin Nanxi smiled slightly, put on his hat, and led Su Han'er to quietly leave from the boiling crowd.

"What a blow this peasant uprising will do to Kochi City." Su Han'er changed into a green dress and sighed.

"No, the peasant uprising will fail, I have three purposes for guiding this peasant uprising, first, the outer city guards of Kochi City are corrupt and corrupt and are a group of greedy and fearful of death, so the outer city guards can't stop the peasants who revolt to death, and a part of the Guancheng troops will definitely be transferred out to create an opportunity for me to poison, and then push forward the next plan, the second city lord's poisoning is very big, and there needs to be a bigger thing to overpower this matter, and the peasant uprising, which is a subversion of the regime, can completely overpower this matter, and third, take the opportunity to get rid of Xiao Li."

"Then why do you say that the peasant uprising will be defeated?" Su Han'er didn't understand it either.

"First, they don't have effective tactical leadership, secondly, Kochi City is a super city of Fu Kingdom, and the royal family will definitely be reinforced, and third, although Kochi City does not have as many troops as the peasant rebel army, they have a high-level cultivation of guards, and most of the peasant cultivators are taking spirits, and some people even have no cultivation."

"I see."

"Wait, a brilliant fireworks are about to go off and a wonderful show is about to take place." The corners of Jiu Rin Nanxi's mouth rose slightly.
