Sweep the World

Chapter 759: Ugly but real

Every autumn the lord kills.

Autumn is the harvest season. There is enough food in the warehouse, and the labor force has been liberated from the work of the ridge. The manpower can be gathered to the greatest extent without any delay. If there is any major action, it is natural to take action.

For the farming people, the most important seasons of the year are spring and autumn. Summer is basically idle, and winter is naturally cat winter.

Since winter needs cat winter, most of the festivals are also selected in winter, which is when I want to have more fun in my free time.

In the autumn of the ninth year of Yuanshuo (AD 350), the north and south ends of Han were caught in two completely different scenes.

Due to the outbreak of drought in the northwest, even if there were harvests in various fields, only 10% to 20% of the crops were harvested in previous years. Very few of them were able to harvest 30%, and even more crops were not harvested.

As usual, under natural disasters, unless it is an extremely wealthy home that is not worried about food shortages, the middle class should basically think about how to fill their stomachs, and the middle class will do nothing to think about it.

When a natural disaster occurs, people with wealthy families and large stocks of food don't have to worry about being hungry, but they have to worry about the surrounding people with red eyes. In the face of such a situation, things can be extreme. Some people will take the opportunity to buy land and take in tenants, while others will come from the sky at home.

It is impossible for Han to buy land from people who cannot survive in the disaster year. It is useless if there is not enough land to absorb the tenants. You should be afraid that the hungry and red-eyed villagers will have any evil thoughts.

If a person has nothing, he will starve to death if he doesn't grab it. Any moral right and wrong will be thrown aside, and he will be driven to do things that he didn't dare to do before. No country or any nation is an exception.

"Open the warehouse and release the grain?" Zhang Zhong had fear and resentment on his face, almost roaring: "Does the food at home come out of thin air? Every grain comes without stealing, looting, or cheating! If it's just a help Kinsfolk, it's your responsibility, but you guys!"

Zhang Zhong is actually not a stingy person. He usually does some kind and charitable things, but this time he is facing the whole villagers in the original village. It is not charity to one or two people. Although their family is the richest man in the village, even if the family is the richest person in the village, Moving out all the food in the country cannot satisfy all the villagers.

At this very moment, there are around two hundred people on the periphery of Zhang Zhong's house.

The beggars elected two or three people into Zhang's house, and asked Zhang Zhongkan to give food and assistance to the folks in the village. If one of them was considered seniority, he would still be Zhang Zhong's "Boye".

Xianhan's father didn't call his father, but actually shouted "Yeah". "Yeah" was at the level of the father. "Boye" is uncle.

Under the Tweet Order, family separation has become a habit of the Han people. Since the eldest son inherits the family property system, apart from the second son, he can only carry a small amount of property to separate the family. This custom has been enforced by the government since the Western Han Dynasty, but the clan still exists, that is, the property is divided.

It is now in the 1940s and 50s. Although the Central Plains has gone through the turmoil, the systems and customs retained by the pre-Han are still the common rules. Once again, the whole family lives together. When the family is exaggerated, there are hundreds of people. It was until the Northern and Southern Dynasties that it became popular again.

Zhang You, who has inherited most of the Zhang family’s wealth, is a bastard. Under his leadership, the wealth has been defeated again and again, but his younger brother is well-managed and getting richer, and his nephew’s generation is not bad. Coming has become what it is now.

"Twenty stones, it can't be more." Zhang Zhong trembled and said the above sentence, and put on a pleading: "I can't take out more."

If something like this is happening today, you’re still leading, the **** will have **** thinking, he will not think about ruining his family property, only because he sees his nephew’s family is rich, and then thinks that the property should belong I.

Usually Zhang Zhong has a better reputation than Zhang You. As an elder, he can go to eat and drink for some money, but he can't inspire against Zhang Zhong. Now it's different. He can't survive, and there are more people around him who can't survive. What he thought was that even if he didn't encourage him, those people would definitely find Zhang Zhong's troubles. He felt that he could take the lead to save his nephew's family life and take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits, but he still felt that he was a good person.

Bastard? There are countless people like this, and it’s not that no one in the surroundings can see Zhang You’s thoughts, but in the face of survival and morality, most people want to live. No amount of favors received before can’t be compared to living, only Only if you continue to live will you be ashamed, and you will have nothing if you die.

What Zhang Zhong saw was the people in front of them, with shame, helplessness, and pride on their faces, but no one gave in.

At this moment, Zhang Zhong suddenly felt that he was living a ridiculous life, especially when he was willing to help people when he had a good little life before. The good deeds he did were ironic one after another.

"Yeah, just drive them out!" Zhang Bian couldn't stand it for a long time: "You can stay at the house and wait for the government to come!"

The people in the Northwest did not have much sense of belonging to the Han country, but they had to admit that after being returned to the rule of the Han country, the government had a very strong ability to act. The village was not a blank for the government. Such a big movement must have attracted the attention of the government. Taking action now.

Zhang Zhong knows that, he can even guess that the wandering, the rank, and the husband must have acted. They are not locals. They are retired from the army and are assigned to public office in the village. The troubled villagers colluded. But even if the government resolved the current issue, even if the Zhang Zhong family did nothing wrong in this matter, they would definitely be isolated in the future.

Even if the few people are right, the most people who face the wrong are right and wrong.

Zhang Zhong can guess what will happen in the future. Someone who came to encircle the house today, even if he knows he did something wrong, the problem is don’t expect them to apologize or feel guilty to Zhang Zhong’s family. If you make a mistake of resentment, you may not dare to do anything to Zhang Zhong's family, but it is inevitable to isolate Zhang Zhong's family.

When a family is isolated in the village, it will be difficult to move forward in modern times, and the current social environment will be more severely isolated.

It was because he knew exactly what would happen, Zhang Zhongming knew that he would resist a little bit, and the matter would be resolved when the officials came over, so he was still willing to provide some food.

Hearing that the government would take action, the second and third sons shrank subconsciously. Of course, they are afraid of the government.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhang You to take the lead, the original villagers would have to be really unable to hold on to them even if they had an idea. The reason was of course the high efficiency of the government. Since Zhang Zhong's Boye is taking the lead, there can be a saying about the matter. Once the government really takes action, it may be fortunate to shirk it as a family affair.

That's right, most people are lucky, thinking that if there are too many people, the government will not deal with it because of the large number of people. The most important thing is that Zhang You takes the lead. They think that even if the government wants to deal with it, it will be dealt with by Zhang. have.

There was originally a noise outside, but the noise did not know when it quieted down.

The young man Zhang Bian noticed the situation outside and shouted, "It must be someone from the government!"

"Even if someone comes from the government, what will happen?" Zhang Youli said frankly: "I just came here, I didn't hurt people, and I didn't invite anyone in. The negotiation failed and the law was not violated. "

When the other two heard it, it really was like that.

The Han country inherited most of the rules of the pre-Han. First, gathering people as long as they don’t have weapons is not considered an offence. Then no matter how many people gather, as long as there are no fights, or whoever is ill, shouting, "The princes and generals are kind to each other." At best, the government is to persuade people to leave, and they cannot arrest people in accordance with the law at all.

I won't mention what's going on in the house for now. Zhou Qian, the wandering man, was the first to discover the anomaly in his hometown. While calling on his colleagues to monitor him, he went to the county to report.

Because of the occurrence of natural disasters and the special circumstances of the Northwest in Han, all counties and counties have always remained vigilant.

Some time ago, the remnants of the previous dynasty were making waves, and the counties and counties also became turbulent. It was the most combative time when the county magistrate who ordered the residence immediately took action after receiving the report.

Although it was not the first time that Tian received a similar report, before Zhou Qian, similar things had happened in many places under his control, and even more intense ones, such as a wealthy home that was actually robbed by a broken home.

Civil turmoil occurs under the jurisdiction. Regardless of the cause of the civic turmoil, it is a taint to the highest officials of a county. It must be outrageous. If Tian had the right, he would have liked to kill all the rioters, but it was true. After the outbreak of civil unrest in China, it can only be handed over to the military, and the civil administration system is doing some sort of aftermath.

What Zhou Qian brought back from the county were eleven (county) county soldiers. Of course he was not the person in charge, and that person was the real person in charge.

The twelve of them did not go straight to Zhang's house when they came to their hometown. They first met with the colleagues in charge of surveillance to understand the development of the situation. Knowing that the villagers were just surrounding Zhang's house and no more drastic things had happened, everyone discussed it and believed that the villagers didn't have the courage to make chaos for the time being, but they had to act in time and could not let it go.

The county soldiers are assigned to Lingju County, the capital of Guangwu County, with a total of 1,500 people. The composition of the county soldiers is more complicated. They come from other regions except the Northwest. That is to ensure that when they need to raise their weapons, they will not take into account their hometown and dare not start, so as to avoid being chaotic by the shouts of relatives among the people in the chaos.

Facts have proved that even the people in the northwest do not have much sense of belonging to Han, but they are still shocked when facing the army. When Zhou Qian and eleven heavily armed county soldiers appeared, the first reaction of the old and the young was Quiet from the noise.

Zhou Qian is a local wanderer. Although he is not a local, he knows a lot of people he should know. He shouted in time, first controlled the scene, and also stated that as long as everyone did not violate the law, they would not be dealt with.

When Zhang Zhong, Zhang You and others came out together, what they saw was Zhou Qian standing on a high ground and speaking, and there were about a dozen heavily armed county soldiers guarding the surrounding area.

"The young and Zhuang go to Yangguan, you can get the grain of ten stones if you sign up. If you get it, it can be regarded as military merit." It is not the first time that Zhou Qian has promoted this matter. There are too few people. He called out the names of several people and asked loudly: "Is it true?"

Those who were called out by their names would come out to testify. After the testimony was completed, they would add another sentence: "I didn't come to make trouble, or I just followed to take a look."

Is it true? It can be said that once the big guys grabbed hands, he wouldn't watch it anyway.

The willingness to go out of the Western Regions to obtain ten-shi grains is actually not a free distribution. It is part of the lease contract.

Almost everyone who is willing to go out to the Western Regions has signed a loan contract even if they are not short of money or food. Their thoughts are very straightforward. People are going to the Western Regions desperately. The interest on borrowing is not high. If people die, even if they finish the game, they can grab something in the Western Regions if they have nothing to do. Borrowing principal plus interest is nothing at all.

More than one person came out to prove that Zhou Qian’s words were not wrong at all. The problem is that Zhou Qian did not ask. Those people did not say anything before, and they even reached a tacit agreement and never spread it. It is difficult to tell what the mentality is. By choosing this kind of behavior, you can generally see who they are.

"There were a lot of men at the scene. If you violate the law in the village, you will not be taken by your husband. If you break the law, you will not be arrested, and you will also rush into the forest to avoid arrest." Of course, Zhou Qian didn't want to mess up. benefit. After the intimidation, he saw that most of the people had flinched, and agitated: "The big man is planning to go to the Western Regions for the family~lightnovelpub.net~ to get food, and if he has the income, he can entrust the military to send it home. Here In the disaster year, dare not to act?"

No one responded, but it was impossible for them to break Zhang's house. Making chaos is one thing, and once there is a pause in the middle, many people will feel scared.

"Think more about it! Even if you don't leave the Western Regions or go to the county to sign up for recruitment, why do you have to violate the law and seek a living?" Zhou Qian began to call out a few villagers who usually get along well and let them go home. Seeing the crowd gradually dispersing, he exhaled a sigh of suffocation at the very long who followed, and then said fearfully: "Most reckless people go out of the country to the Western Regions, otherwise..."

As a matter of fact, bold and courageous people go to Yangguan. They have either already left the customs or are being trained. Those who stay at home are usually more persuasive.

He nodded his head blankly, to say that there was a bit of joy and disappointment. I am delighted that there was no civil disturbance, but I am disappointed that it is considered military merit to kill the people in the chaos. He is still restrained and conscientious. There is a pavilion in the county where there would be no civil disturbance, but it was the county where he was sent. The county soldiers intimidated the scene out of control.

"If you can control it for a while, maybe it won't last for a long time." Zhou Qian is just a wandering, unable to tell the truth: "If there is no food available, something will happen." 8)
