While limping past the capture of several farmers, he sent out soul torture to the group of people in the tavern, "Have you never thought of changing your way of life? You don't have to endure the layers of exploitation by those noble lords? No need to endure the oppression of their captive villains and servants. After working hard for a year, he had to give up 70% to 80% of the land.
Those noble lords sing joyously on the wealth we created, but we have to tighten our belts, eat chaff, even the worst ale mixed with water, we have to count and drink with our fingers, you are willing to be so hold back Will Qu live a lifetime? "
Facing John's questioning, the farmers who were chasing him couldn't help slowing down.
There is no doubt that these words hit their pain points.
They do the hardest work, but they eat the worst meals and drink the worst drinks.
All wealth is grown by them, but not by them.
Except for the noble nobles, no one takes this for granted.
"What else can you do if you don't live like this for a lifetime?" A rhetorical question came from the crowd.
"If Yongye Army leader really uses large-scale troops on Huayu Plateau, it will be a great opportunity for us to stand up." Little John finally threw out the topic he wanted to talk about.
"Hey... it sounds good, even if the leader of the Yongye Army came over? The crows in the world are generally dark, and we still have to pay taxes? It's just handed over to different objects."
"It's not the same, it's very different. Under the rule of Yongye Junling, although the same taxes are paid, all the tax items are clear and will not change easily. It is never allowed to levy additional taxes at will. On the contrary, if there are special Circumstances, there will be tax cuts.
When Yongyejun led the worst food shortage, the tax was only 30%. It is said that it has been falling for the past two years. This is what we have seen with our own eyes. This is also the reason why the noble lords do not want us to do business. I was afraid that we would be attracted by the leader of the Yongye Army, and would not come back when we ran there. "
"What you are talking about is the situation of the Yongye army leader. It does not mean that they will adopt the same policy after entering the plateau. Not to mention the war. You and I will not have the opportunity to sit here and drink, but will be treated as cannon fodder. It’s still unknown whether it’s dragged onto the battlefield or not to walk off the battlefield alive, everyone is dead, and where else is there."
"You really look too high at our noble lords. If the army led by the Yongye Army really kills Gao, it turns out that their surrender speed is probably faster than the rabbit running. If this happens, instead It's going to be bad, if Yongye army leaders still use them to continue to govern the local area, we will still not have a good life."
"This is the reason I just wanted to say. Those noble masters are calling back and forth, aren't they all those people back and forth?"
"So, if the army led by the Yongye Army really attacked, we will let those noble lords have no chance of surrendering." Little John walked around for half a day, finally revealing the cold light of the dagger.
At this time, no one dared to chase little John anymore, on the contrary, they couldn't help staying away from him. They were somewhat shocked by his rebellious remarks.
Little John didn’t give them a chance at all. Instead, he poured out his plan like pouring beans from a bamboo tube and said:
What I’m talking about is just a hypothesis. It used to be based on the situation where Yongye’s army leader crossed the natural dangers and entered the plateau on a large scale. , If the army hasn't even appeared, this proposal is considered to have never appeared.
If it does appear, this is not only an excellent opportunity for us to end troubles, but also an excellent opportunity for us to avenge and reap wealth. Don't you want to take back that part of your wealth?
Even if something goes wrong at that time, we can push everything to the Revolutionary Party, which has nothing to do with us, and give me another drink. "
Little John limped and walked to the bar again, ordered twice as strong, and drank it all in one go. He laughed and said, "The opportunity is already in front of you. Whether you can grasp it or not is your own business. It's gone, let's go. If it is not unexpected, our baron master may have received the news, and his lackey may be on the way here."
"What are you doing stupidly? Do you really have to wait for those cruel and cruel guys to come? Once you let them watch and give us the name of the Revolutionary Army, we will have to get rid of it even if we are not dead."
"Little John, you are going to hurt us. You are trying to force everyone into the water."
"As long as there is no high-density to the baron master among you, don't worry, if there is a high-density among you, there is no way."
In just a few minutes, the original bustling tavern was scattered and empty.
As the culprit of this incident, Little John was also mixed in the crowd and disappeared into the night.
When the guards of the powerful ruler of this small town heard the news and chased down to Little John's house, the people there went to the house. The owner had no idea how long he had left. There was no way to check it, and there was no effort to check.
Because this is not an isolated incident, but a group.
For weeks, similar agitating remarks have been circulating everywhere in the streets.
All the old accounts and new accounts between the ordinary people of the Huayu Plateau and the nobles of the nobles were turned over, and they were again naked in front of everyone.
For a while, the relationship between ordinary citizens and local aristocrats was unprecedentedly tense.
Especially some local aristocrats, who became angry from shame, adopted bloodier and more brutal means of punishment, which further intensified the contradiction between the two sides.
Huayucheng.
The capital of Huayu Plateau.
The foundation of the Bryan family.
Naturally, it is the center of this revolutionary storm.
Like all the eyes of the storm, here is currently calm, still maintaining the class-specific life of the past.
The lord nobles still maintain their decent and luxurious lives.
The civilians worked hard to fill their eternally hungry stomachs, earning poor commissions.
Only a few people who have a sense of crisis and are willing to open their eyes to see the world can feel the sense of crisis.
The eye of the storm seems to be the safest place for the storm, but in fact it is the most dangerous place, because the storm will move.
Once the storm begins to move, it means that the storm has accumulated enough strength, and it will sweep everything in the storm's eyes in a terrifying posture.
Viscount Gould is undoubtedly one of the best. He is known as the first person in the Huayu Plateau to open his eyes in the world in the past ten years. He is also the fastest rising person on the Huayu Plateau in recent decades. From a declining jazz, all the way Promoted to Viscount, and still a rare real power Viscount.
It's just that his real power is somewhat different from ordinary real power nobles. He currently only owns a remote town under his name, and many real power barons are better than him.
But now in Huayu Plateau, no one dares to despise him, and it is commonplace to be a guest of earls and marquis.
Not only because he is now the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Christine, but also because of the trade lines, trade relations, and several arsenals he has in his hands with the Yongye army leader.
These arsenals are advanced technologies imported from Yongye Army Leader.
The military products manufactured have the magical effect of reinventing an army.
What these arsenals produce is not military products, but golden gold.
In this world, as long as you have money, you can buy everything you want. You say that Viscount Gould's strength is not strong.
It was just getting bright.
Viscount Gould, who arrived at Huayu City at midnight, didn't even sleep, washed his face with cold water, and couldn't wait to take a lot of materials and head straight to the Blaine family's Gaoyan castle.
Along the way, Viscount Gould was unimpeded. For ordinary people, he would have never had a chance to get close to the castle fortress in his entire life, just like returning to his own home.
The servants in the castle saw him respectfully and smiled.
Viscount Gould is currently the celebrity of Duke Christine, and his authorization is only one aspect.
On the other hand, it is the large amount of silver and gold that Viscount Gould spends on them every month, and there are very few people who can't make ends meet with money.
"Your Majesty, it’s not that I didn’t give you face, but that your Majesty was happy yesterday. He drank a few more glasses and just fell asleep. It is really not suitable to disturb. If there is anything important, wait for your Majesty to wake up. It is not too late. You can rest assured. As long as your Majesty wakes up, I will send someone to notify you as soon as possible." Viscount Gould was intercepted at the last level when he met Archduke Christine, and the Duke's close guard explained with embarrassment.
Of course, the God of Wealth in front of them didn't want to offend them. Now that the other side showed something between his fingers, it was enough for them to endure for life.
But their responsibilities are more important. Archduke Christine's getting up has always been amazing. It would be nice to say that if he was only given a few whips, it would be bad if he was deemed to be disloyal to his duties and transferred from him.
Viscount Gould can bring benefits to them because of their current status as the Grand Duke's guard. Without this status, the other party would not even look at them directly, let alone take the initiative to give them benefits.
They are still very clear about the priorities.
The game of power and money between the lord and nobles has always been played like this.
"The matter is urgent. There is really no way to wait until your Majesty wakes up. I invite you to go in and report. If your Majesty is angry, I am willing to bear it alone." Sir Gould's complexion remained unchanged, but his heart was extremely heavy, and there was a deep disappointment. Passing in the bottom of my heart.
When is this?
Archduke Christine was in the mood for drinking and having fun all night long.
He had to wait until the army led by the Yongye Army reached the plateau, and those revolutionary army led the mob to kill in front of Gaoyan Castle before realizing the seriousness of the matter?
"This..." The Grand Duke's close guard said embarrassed, "Sir, don't embarrass us. This kind of responsibility is not something you can shoulder if you want to help us. This is our biggest responsibility. At that time, people disturbed your Majesty, it is our negligence, no matter how important things are, it will not miss this day and a half, please forgive me."
"If what I am holding is just ordinary financial information, I will leave without saying a word, but what I am holding is important information concerning the survival of our army, let alone half a day, not even half an hour. Once a major event is delayed, it will not be a problem of heavy punishment, but a head loss.
Seeing that the other party is not getting in, he takes his responsibility more than anything else, and Sir Gould's face is involuntary. The drooping down.
Putting away his usual sleek smile, the serious-looking Sir Gould has some majesty.
The two archduke close guards in front of him couldn't help but rush.
The more sleek Duke close guard said with a smile on his face: "Master Sir, don’t frighten us. Who doesn’t know that you are the Chancellor of the Exchequer next to the Duke. Intelligence is under the control of Lord Calvin. The military is the responsibility of Lord Nicholas. You tell us now that what you are holding is important military intelligence, and you have already overstepped your post. If the matter is really as urgent as you said, you should ventilate with the two adults first, and after reaching an agreement, come and see your Majesty together. Even if it is severe punishment, I will definitely go in and report."
"If the two adults pay enough attention to the information I provided, I don't have to come to see your Majesty in person." The other party's suggestion made Gould's chest feel even more frustrated.
He had obtained this information in his hands early yesterday morning.
In view of the late time, the gate of Gaoyan Castle has been closed, making it more cumbersome to meet Duke Christine.
I don't want to make people the cleanest.
In advance, someone sent a copy to the Minister of Intelligence and the Minister of Military Affairs of the Bryan family.
Needless to say, the messengers suffered during this process. They went to deliver the letter in the early morning, and when they returned, it was almost dawn. It is still unknown whether the information will be delivered to the parties in the first time.
Judging from the fact that they were the first to rush to Gaoyan Castle, they didn't pay much attention even if they received the information handed over by them.
"I just said that, in accordance with the rigorous and loyal nature of Viscount Gould, he will definitely step on the time when the castle opens~EbookFREE.me~ to meet your Majesty. General Nicholas didn't believe him and had to drag me. Wander around the residence of Viscount Gould, now you believe it, your latest pistol from Yongyejun is my own."
"I wish to accept the bet. When I go back, I will ask the attendant to pack it up and send it to Earl Calvin."
Two figures, one tall and one short, had reached Viscount Gould's side while speaking.
"Master Calvin, Master Nicholas, you are here." Seeing these two people, Viscount Gould was somewhat surprised, and bowed slightly to salute them.
When it comes to the position around Archduke Christine, the three are similar, but when it comes to family status, he is still inferior.
Some notions of respect and inferiority have been etched into the bones, and will not be completely eliminated as Viscount Gould's identity changes.
The two of them nodded lightly at Viscount Gould, looking like a matter of course.
The affinity between the two for Viscount Gould is only superficial, and in the bones it is still thousands of miles away.
