CHAPTER XIV

After being included, the people of the village were relatively safe for a period of time. And time will always be cumbersome and complicated, so quarrels began to occur again and again around interests, and Ren Gongzi brought novelties in the city, and the villagers saw many fancy and glorious things, which was more to dispute the gains and losses of interests.

As soon as the villagers quarrel because of interests, they will find someone to judge, but there are few reasons in the world that have both sides. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be resentment between the villagers.

The grudges accumulated more and more, causing the villagers to turn their hands on each other, so that the villagers knew that it was a trivial matter, but they insisted on being caught and scolded, and they did not find anyone to judge them, so they relied on a mouthful of grievances to scold there.

This, so impetuous! Wu He was tired of seeing and listening, and he didn't want to help the villagers comment, so he pushed it to the village chief or Huanyu or even Ren Gongzi to deal with it.

Fortunately, Wu He's observation position was not completely canceled, and he was still asked by the village chief to observe, record, deduce, and verify the wind and grass around the village, which made Wu He often able to go into the forest to avoid the troubles in the village.

Although there are enemies and grudges among the villagers, most of them still trust and respect Wu He, and they don't mind that he can get a little bit from the taxes paid by the village as a reward.

So impetuous to continue. After being stimulated by gorgeous external objects, most of the villagers' thoughts and actions gradually became numb, and the meaning of human affection was gradually covered with a thick fog, and the exchanges between them were mostly sarcasm, comparisons, and joyful ballads. The relationship between Wu He, Ren Gongzi, and Huan Yu is a big talk they often talk about after dinner.

Wu He didn't know much about this, and he was tired of understanding it. He has leisure to go into the forest for a day, and he usually doesn't take the initiative to see Huanyu, and even occasionally when he encounters Huanyu and Ren Gongzi together, he will take a detour directly, and his father and mother mostly chat. is so occluded, Wu He seems to have returned to his childhood and become a withdrawn person.

And because Ren Gongzi took people to this village from time to time, it seemed that he had nothing else to do, so he naturally became more and more friendly with the villagers, and he also understood this idle talk, and did not block it, and even enjoyed it more.

Mostly because Ren Gongzi has gone back and forth many times, but he has not been able to make any further progress with Huanyu, even if the love in his heart does not decrease but increases more and more, it is inevitable that some restlessness will arise, which can get some rumors from the villagers, and it will also become a comfort.

Huan Yu didn't care about idleness, as if it had nothing to do with her, there were still few appearances all day long, always flowing and between things, only the feeling of when Wu came suddenly in her heart would ripple, making her want to fly.

A while ago, Huan Yu also had doubts about this inexplicable feeling, but when she carefully investigated the yang spirit, it was extremely natural and subtle, so that Pingchuan was stunned, but she only came up with an extremely strange answer - there was a white and tasteless thought in the depths of her heart, which could not be eliminated and became a blessing of its own.

There is really no solution to this, so Huanyu let it go. It is not regarded as a sickness in the mind, but as a miraculous movement in one's own natural world.

For this chat, the description is good, probably like this: Wu He and Huan Yu have no guesses, but Wu He is good at giving birth to Muleng, Huan Yu is ashamed, the two go back and forth unclearly, difficult to reason, after a long time, the relationship between the two gradually faded, and they became estranged, and did not interact with each other.

At this time, Ren Gongzi jumped out! fell in love with Huanyu at first sight, and was willing to work hard for it but did not bend his will. In this way, although I usually don't see the joy and rain unexpectedly, I am afraid that I have already had joy in my heart. The so-called drop stone wears! When the joy in Huanyu's heart reaches the point where there is nothing to add, it is when a lover finally becomes a family.

In this idle nonsense, Ren Gongzi tried to imagine whether there was a villager's temptation to think about selfishness, but Ren Gongzi didn't care, because the benefits sought by the villagers were just a drop in the bucket for him, and he was calculated by the villagers.

For Wu He, Ren Gongzi also doesn't care, he and Huanyu have gotten along several times, but he doesn't think that Huanyu will have a feeling of shame, even if there is, it is also when Huanyu is not yet quiet. The fairy woman who is obscure and natural here will be tired by the ignorant childhood playmates of the village? He didn't believe it.

If the village has been helping Gongzi, it may become a scene of peaceful life. But now the disasters and disasters and the turmoil of the government and the opposition cannot become an idyllic scene of peaceful life.

As time passed, the interval between Ren Gongzi's trade in Pingchuan Village gradually widened, and his face became more and more sad, as if something began to press him. After Ren Gongzi did not come to the village, the trade team became thinner and thinner, and in the end, only retail investors occasionally traded with the villagers.

Come to think of it, Pingchuan is far away from Puyang Road, and most of the people in the village do not know about business and trade, only know how to make a profit, and trade with it, and the merchant not only cannot make a profit but also post it upside down. How could a shrewd businessman do such a deal? It's just that he was entrusted by Ren Gongzi to come here to do good.

Now that Ren Gongzi is entangled in things, it is difficult to take care of Pingchuan, and the short-sighted businessman will certainly not continue to do good. Therefore, if it is only impossible to trade with Puyang, so that the villagers are hurt by the lack of beauty and have to return to simplicity, it is a good thing, but it will become a good momentum.

But it's not that simple. After Ren Gongzi couldn't come, there was an errand from Puyang to manage, they didn't go to Pingchuan, and they came to either collect taxes or set rules, and the villagers were extremely dissatisfied with this.

The villagers argued with it, and sent them to be arrogant and unreasonable to reprimand, and the villagers were even more unconvinced, but the messenger represented the great Puyang, and a few words of fierce punishment restrained the villagers, so that they had to follow.

In this situation, some villagers jumped out and sighed - they had already said that Puyang's bad virtues would definitely not be good to be classified in, and everyone still believed in the bullshit promise of the son of Ren, who was confused by the village chief, and now he is a ghost, and he can't even compare to it before the disaster!

In one sentence, the fault is scattered, and it is also straightforward. Should the villagers complain about the confused village chief, or the unpromised Ren Gongzi, or the short-sighted self? Alas! How can the people of the village understand and know that there are certain things in the world that they cannot decide......

Wu He had foreseen this early. The stability after the village was incorporated was given by Ren Gongzi, and it would naturally rise and fall because of his choice, and he couldn't refuse when he came, and he couldn't keep it when he went, just like Wu He's remnants in his body, he couldn't help himself.

Time will pass, and the oppression can only endure, how can the villagers compete with Puyang. Blessings and misfortunes may always depend on each other, the days are gradually sad and gloomy, the complaints against Puyang are getting thicker and thicker, and the hearts of the villagers are beginning to be unanimous with the outside world, and the trivial reproaches are all towards Puyang, as if Puyang has become the head of all evils, and everything that is not going well depends on it.

But what? The villagers' hearts can't change their bodies, but they can only exchange for a situation that can fill their stomachs, and the tax is still changing unsteadily. So...... Time is getting tighter and tighter, and it becomes a dilapidated situation that cannot make ends meet, what should I do at that time? How will it develop? Wu He couldn't stop being gray and cold in his heart, so he could only helplessly comfort himself and say that it was just a delusion......

Glad...... The head of the village people is the big river that follows the flow, isn't it? In the end, he was wronged in the floating world. Pretending to be a foreign object to ascend to the sky is like a skyrocket, it is a false dream! Ren Gongzi is gone, and the rain may not be far away, and there will be nothing to rely on, and he will die with life.

But Puyang seems to be not only satisfied with slowly smoothing out the will of the villagers, but also deviating from the outrageous incident, as if forcing the villagers to rebel.

Early in the morning. The villagers gathered in front of the high platform at the north entrance of the village to talk and wait for a general order to come down from Puyang. For a long time, everyone didn't see the messenger or the village chief come out, so they talked about their grievances and talked without scruples:

"What is it this time? Isn't it just to pay for food? Is this another 'donation'? ”

A sturdy young man looked at the back of the stage with a straight face, as if he was questioning the person behind him.

"No one cared about us in the catastrophe a few years ago, and how many people died. Why didn't anyone come at that time! ”

A villager talked about old accounts, causing everyone to complain and sigh.

"yes, it's 'good' now! Every once in a while, I either set the rules or pay the grain, which is really 'special' concern. ”

A villager echoed the opposite, and everyone's grievances continued to rise, and the words became more and more indignant.

At this time, the messenger walked out of the backstage and came to the stage to shout. The villagers were attracted by this cheer and looked at the messenger, and saw that this messenger was different from the ordinary, dressed in bright armor, with a carved sword buckled at his waist, full of style.

The villagers were horrified when they saw this. There is no way to do it, the villagers have never seen a soldier, let alone a person in this armor. When the messenger saw that everyone had been distracted, he couldn't help but be proud, pacing back and forth abruptly, his face was serious, and he shook his sword inadvertently.

Such a gesture was very contemptuous of begging and beating, but the villagers were helpless.

"What's the noise? Isn't your current safe life given by Lord Huawang? ”

The messenger looked around at the villagers, but no one said anything.

"Since you are protected, you have to be disciplined. This is the case in other villages, so you can't bear it? ”

He paused, then said:

"I'm just here to recruit some people this time......

Without waiting for the messenger to continue, the village chief also came up from behind the stage, holding a yellow sticker in his hand, looking extremely sad, approaching the messenger to interrupt him, and whispered to him:

"My lord, now is the season of grain sowing, if there are fewer men in the household, I am afraid it will be difficult to farm! I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to eat food, but we will not even be able to hand in what we have handed in! Moreover...... I don't know how long this conscription lasted. ”

The mission has never cared about these issues, and the key points are naturally not well understood.

"Afraid of what? It's a big deal, if you don't ask you to pay it. This is a matter related to the nobles of the Imperial City, can you afford to neglect it? ”

Don't pay? This kind of very beautiful and untrue promise is difficult to convince the village chief, after all, Puyang's bad virtues are obvious to all, and I don't know if this statement is just the words of this messenger.

"But ......"

The village chief's face became even more sorrowful, and he opened his mouth to speak, but the messenger immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, and turned to face the villagers:

"A terrible person came out of the Shiji Courtyard, and it seems that they all call her an hour machine or a liujizi or something like that. Whether you understand it or not, just know that she is very noble. ”

"She will come to Puyang to survey the situation for you and benefit everyone. Therefore, in order to express Puyang's devotion to Ji Niangniang and respect for the compound, a statue of Ji Niangniang should be repaired in the city......"

Ji Niangniang? Wu He's eyebrows were evil, at this time, Ji Yuan has something to do with this bird thing?

The messenger proudly pulled a lot of things and began to talk about the main point:

"The city lord asked some people to repair the statue, and there were not many of them, about thirty-six young men in each village."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers suddenly fried the pot, and in an instant, you and I quarreled one sentence at a time. No wonder the villagers were shocked, there were more than 200 people in the village, among which there were not many young and strong men, and now the taxes are serious, and they have to build as many as 30 soldiers, which is ...... This! Don't you want to take people's lives?!
