Chapter 1376 The Book of Ten Thousand Peoples
"Did you hear it?" Luo Xin spread his hands to He Xinyin and said, "There are two main reasons for the poverty, lack of food, and even starvation to death in the mountains.
One is poverty, the other is the exploitation of the 18 Villages, constantly sucking blood on the mountain people. Even the exploitation of the 18 Villages is more than the poverty. They are greedy and cruel and do not treat the mountain people as humans. You can ask Hao Datong and others who have not been bullied by the 18 Villages?"
He Xinyin looked at the mountain people of Hao Datong. When the mountain people heard Luo Xin's words, they all recalled that they had been bullied by the Eighteen Villages, and their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Luo Xin's voice sounded faintly, "There are two reasons for poverty. One is that there is very little land that can grow crops in the mountains and forests, and the harvest is not good, so it cannot maintain the needs of the mountain people at all. The second is that they have no skills and can only hunt. Hunting is a dangerous job, and most of the harvest from hunting is taken away by Shiba Village.
The exploitation of the 18 villages was powerless to resist. If they dared to resist, the result would be death.
Therefore, if you want the mountain people to have enough food, you must solve these two problems. Once these two problems are solved, no one is willing to rob the mountain people who can eat enough. You should know that robbery is not only the robbery, but also the robbery dies.
Those who can eat enough will not resist the court, because the price of resisting the court is too high, and more people will die. Moreover, those who die are strong. Without strong spirit, they will not be able to hunt, and more mountain people will die."
Hao Datong and other mountain people nodded one after another. Luo Xin's words came to their hearts, and they looked at Luo Xin with anticipation.
"So, I'm here." Luo Xin's face showed a confident look. "I came here not to kill the mountain people, but to solve the problem, and to solve the problem once and for all. So that they can eat enough in the future, without worrying about being hungry, without worrying about robbing from the 18 villages, and without worrying about the court coming to encircle them.
First of all, I will teach them the winemaking technology. The most deficient thing in the deep mountains and forests is fruit. I teach them the technology of making wine with fruits, and I will collect as much as they brew. They don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it, nor do they have to worry about not getting money by selling it.
With the technology of brewing, coupled with their farming and hunting, they can not only eat enough, but also eat well. This solves their poverty problem.
However, if the Shiba Villages still exist, the mountain villagers will become coolies. When they make wine, most of them will be snatched away by the Shiba Villages. They will still live a poor life, not having enough food or wearing warm clothes. Therefore, in order for the mountain villagers to be able to eat enough food and wear warm clothes, the Shiba Villages must be eradicated.
It is to eradicate the roots and there will be no more eighteen villages that oppress the mountain people.
Only in this way can the mountain people live a good life.”
Speaking of this, Luo Xin showed a compassionate expression on his face and said, "For the sake of millions of mountain people, even if I, Luo Xin, bear a bad reputation, it is worth it."
Everyone was silent, with only the "rustling" footsteps. After a while, Hao Datong's eyes turned red and said to Luo Xin.
"Mr. Luo, we cannot suppress this kind of infamy on you. You must have a way, right? What do you need us to do? Just tell me, let's break through the sea of swords and fires."
"Yes, yes!" The mountain people shouted excitedly, "We'll break through the sea of swords and fires."
Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "No need, as long as millions of mountain people can eat and wear warmth, it will be the greatest reward for me. Speed up and arrive at the Seventeenth Village before dark."
Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan looked at each other, and the two gathered together, while walking, while discussing something in a low voice. When it was lunch, Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan came to the middle of the mountain people.
The mountain people were both afraid and excited to salute the two of them. Hao Datong quickly asked Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan to sit down. He knew that these two were Luo Xin's right-hand men.
"Mr. Yun, Lord Tao, have something to eat." Hao Datong brought the dry food.
Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan took the dry food. Yun Zhiqiu broke a piece and put it in his mouth, and said while eating.
"Dear Shanmin brothers, you all heard what Lord Luo said in the morning, right?"
"I heard it!" The people of the mountain nodded one after another.
"You don't want Lord Luo to bring bad reputation for you, right?"
"I don't want to!"
"And, once Lord Luo brings this bad reputation and returns to the capital, he may be dismissed from office by His Majesty. Once he is dismissed from office by His Majesty, no one will buy you wine."
The expressions of the people in the mountains were uncontrollably changed, and Hao Datong was even more anxious.
"Two sirs, what do we need to do? You just say, let's go and break through the sea of swords and fires."
"Yes! Let's go to break through the sea of swords and fire." The mountain people slapped their chests with a loud bang.
"Not that serious." Tao Xingyan waved his hand and said, "However, there are some things that you need to do."
"What's the matter? Please give me some advice."
"First of all, you must spread the words that Lord Luo said in the morning among the mountain people, so that millions of mountain people can know the hard work and efforts of the adults."
"It's no problem." Hao Datong patted his chest and said, "Without Shibazhai, I, Huangshan and Weihe, still have some prestige among the mountain people. As long as we go and talk, they will definitely believe it."
"The second thing is to ask you mountain people to write a book of all people."
"Book of all people?"
"Yes, the book of all people." Tao Xingyan nodded and said, "You must write about how you were bullied by the Eighteen Villages over the years and write the book of the most miserable things you have ever suffered among the mountain people. You must let Your Majesty know that you are living in dire straits and let Your Majesty know that you are the real mountain people, and the Eighteen Villages are not mountain people at all, but bandits. They not only robbed the Han people, but also robbed you mountain people.
Thanks to His Majesty’s sending Luo Xin to destroy the Eighteen Villages and save you from the dire straits.”
"I understand." Hao Datong thought for a while, finally reacted, then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I must do it beautifully."
Hao Datong immediately sent a hundred people to various tribes. First of all, let the tribes know that Luo Xin could solve their poverty. In this way, no matter who believes it or not, as long as they hesitate and do not come to help Shibazhai immediately, then everything will be easy to say from now on.
At dusk.
The army came to the woods 1,000 meters away from the Seventeenth Village. Zhang Long and Wang Gao led more than 100 Hao Datong's men to the Seventeenth Village...
