Is it so easy to tell right from wrong? There are some things with different standpoints, so naturally there is no right and wrong. It can only be said that everyone's perspective is different, nothing more, it is not right or wrong.
Zhang Bairen was lying on the bed weakly, with a pair of eyes looking at the top of the big tent, Zhang Lihua sat beside Zhang Bairen with a distressed face, and kept saying relief: "Mr., this is not your fault. Mr. has a good intention and wants to benefit the people. What's more, if there is no imperial examination, all rights are in the hands of the family, ordinary people don't even have that gleam of vitality. What's more, Mr. Liu created paper and printing, and countless books and periodicals were spread all over the world. Ordinary people had this gleam of vitality. Thank you Mr. If it is too late, how can you blame Mr.
Saying that, the truth is such a truth, but Zhang Bairen still feels a little uncomfortable.
Time is not shifted by human will, the wheels of the Sui Dynasty are constantly rolling.
As the new year passed, Yang Guang began to toss again. Since last year, he has sought to conquer Goryeo and ordered a mansion in Shandong to raise horses for military service.
They also sent rice to be transported by civilians and husbands, and accumulated them in the towns of Luhe and Huaiyuan. None of the carts and cattle came back. More than half of the soldiers died, the farming was lost, and the fields were deserted. Coupled with famine, the price of grain is very expensive, especially in the northeast.
"The lack of food planting and the deserted fields have caused the price of rice to rise. A bucket of rice is hundreds of dollars. Although your majesty has calculated it, it is not without the promotion of the family. The copper mold case has not been solved for a long time, and the circulation of various inferior coins and the market has made the price of goods. The constant expansion will not give the people a way to survive." Zhang Bairen interpreted the intelligence in his hand: "The big family members wanted to use copper molds to impact the financial system of the Sui Dynasty, but they never wanted to reverse it. They were used by your majesty and forced the big family families to waste their fields. Countless people starved to death." Continue reading:
The transported rice may be crude and evil, and the people will pay for it. More than 600,000 deer chariot drivers were sent out. The two pushed a total of three meters and three stones. The road was far and far away, and there was no sufficient food to reach the town. There was no loser, and both were afraid of crime and death. Officials are greedy and mutilated, fishermen are invaded by predestined conditions, the people are poor, financial resources are exhausted, living in peace is not enough to be discouraged, death is urgent, plunder is still prolonged, so they began to gather as a group of robbers.
"Pop!" Even if he had prepared, Zhang Bairen was still shocked, and those in power really did not use it for their rights. Transporting 600,000 rice from the customs, two people pushing a car, and each car weighing three stone meters, it is probably close to a million servants. Moreover, the roads are difficult and dangerous, and the distance between the customs is too far, I am afraid that the food has been eaten by the servant before it can be transported here.
Eating all the food from the court is a capital crime. This is forcing rebellion.
"Recently, bandits have been rampant in the Great Sui. There are countless big and small bandits, and the local government simply cannot encircle and suppress them. These bandits are civilians who food, as well as the people who can’t survive. Gathering crowds as thieves will still have a chance of life, otherwise they will only starve to death. "The end of the game" Zhang Lihua said.
Zhang Bairen looked a little pale and sat on the chair of the Supreme Master: "Why does your Majesty refuse to open a warehouse to release grain? Da Sui has never lacked grain. Even if the people do not produce, it is enough for my Da Sui people to live for three to five years."
The secret letter in his hand was thrown into the fire, and Zhang Bairen's eyes were full of contemplation: "Wang Bo seems to be uprising in Changbai Mountain! Can there be information about Changbai Mountain Wang Bo?"
"Here!" Zhang Lihua had already prepared.
Zhang Bairen accepted the secret report and slowly held it in his hand, and after a while he looked intolerable.
"Do you want to send someone to kill Wang Bo?" Zhang Lihua bit her red lips.
There are signs of rebellion in Changbai Mountain, it is best to suppress the fire as soon as possible.
"Don’t worry about it. Although the Changbai Mountain Uprising was promoted by family members, it ultimately gave the people a way to survive. Now there are countless thieves. After one Wang Bo has died, the next Wang Bo will continue to stand up. This is the general trend. To force the people to rebel, I don't know how your Majesty can suppress it!" Zhang Bairen's eyes were full of helplessness.
"This is a secret report about Dou Jiande!" Zhang Lihua took out another document. Now fifteen years later, Tian Ting has been taken care of by Zhang Lihua and has become Zhang Bairen's right-hand man.
After receiving the secret report from Zhang Lihua, Zhang Bairen opened it slowly.
Speaking of Dou Jiande, he is a native of Zhangnan. When he was a boy, he admired the warriors of the rivers and lakes and had great courage. Later, he inadvertently obtained the secret scrolls of the ancestors, and even learned a good martial arts. His reputation spread for dozens of miles. Attached.
Last year, Yang Guang recruited soldiers to fight against Goguryeo, and Dou Jiande was selected as the leader of 200 people for his bravery.
To say so, Dou Jiande did not have a place to start, but Sun Anzu from the same county was also selected as a conscript because of his bravery and good fighting skills. He didn't understand Dou Jiande, but Sun Anzu was unwilling to be conquered by the court, so he ran away from home, his wife was harmed by the county magistrate, and the county magistrate was assassinated in anger.
Killing an official and rebelling is definitely not as easy as in the novel. Sun Anzu fled to Dou Jiande, was hidden by Dou Jiande, the government chased him, and followed the trail to Dou Jiande's home. Dou Jiande said to Sun Anzu: "When Emperor Wen, the world was prosperous, and the world was prosperous. The people are defeated by fighting against Goryeo. Today's water is a disaster, the people are poor, and in the old years, they will not return, and the devastation will not be restored. If the Lord is not sympathetic, but even more troops will attack Goryeo, and the world will be in chaos. Husband. If you don’t die, you should make a great contribution. How can you do it for death!"
So the two rebelled!
"Zhang Nan, this official has walked in person, and I will meet Dou Jiande in the future, and I will have some details in my heart in the future." Zhang Bairen's face was pale, and he stood up and walked out of the manor.
Seeing this, Zuo Qiu Wuji immediately chose more than a dozen good players and rushed out after Zhang Bairen.
Walking out of the Chengnan Manor, Zhang Bairen sighed slightly when he looked at the countless refugees outside the manor. These days, Zhang Bairen started to cook porridge, because there were too many people and there was not enough food. He could only have one porridge every day, and everyone barely died of starvation.
At first glance, everything was dark and oppressive, and the marginal refugees could not be seen. In this cold north wind, countless refugees gathered together and built some wooden houses, but they could escape some wind and rain.
"Ugh!"
These refugees are all yellow and thin, and their clothes barely cover their bodies, looking so miserable.
"Mr. has tried his best, why bother to blame yourself!" Xiao Yu said softly.
Xiaoyu is the "rain" of the four guardians of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and the only woman among the four brothers and sisters of the Lu family.
Now that the Lu family brothers and sisters have left the customs, they have cultivated into the souls, they are Taoist pseudo-yang gods.
The four brothers and sisters sit in the base camp on weekdays, and Zhang Bairen goes out, then the wind, rain, thunder and lightning will follow the guardian~EbookFREE.me~ Let's go! "Zhang Bairen's face was distorted, and he couldn't bear to look any more, and he took a step back and walked away.
But along the way, there were vagrants everywhere, unclothed people, one by one, either fled in a hurry, or fell to the ground, struggling to get up.
A ray of meat scented in the distance, and I saw a large group of refugees gathered together, numbly surrounding a cauldron, and the rumbling of their stomachs kept ringing.
"Where did the refugees get their meat?" Zhang Bairen asked in surprise.
Zuoqiu Wuji's expression on one side changed suddenly: "I'm afraid it's human flesh!"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Zhang Bairen's complexion changed wildly, where his body was stiff and he could not move.
The brothers and sisters of the Lu family on one side sighed softly, saying, "Back then, there was a drought in the north. If the four of my brothers and sisters were not the governor for relief, I am afraid they would have already become other people's belly lunch."
Looking at this picture of purgatory on earth, the four brothers and sisters couldn't help but think of the tragic experience that year, and they admired and thanked Zhang Bairen more in their hearts.
"These guys are actually eating human flesh, they are really assholes! Morality is depraved, wait for me to teach them a lesson," Zuo Qiu said angrily as he looked at Zhang Bairen's pale complexion.
Talking, Zuo Qiu Wuji stepped forward, scanned the refugees in a circle, and said angrily: "Er, wait for An to eat human flesh?"
Everyone was numb and speechless, and didn't seem to hear Zuoqiu Wuji's words, but quietly looked at the big pot of meat.
"Oh!" Zuoqiu Wuji smelt the smell of meat, and suddenly rolled in his belly. When he saw the white-colored minced meat in the cauldron, he couldn't help but vomit out the nausea in his heart, and slammed the cauldron with a knife.
"Wow!"
The broth sprinkled on the ground with human flesh, and the next moment these numb refugees suddenly became agitated, rushed over in a swarm, and started to bite the human flesh that fell on the ground.
Even Zuoqiu Wuji, a bone-prone person, was pushed out of the crowd.
