Chapter 357: Letter from the capital, the real ancient society
"What!?"
When everyone heard what the beggar said, they were all stunned!
"Are you sure you're being watched?"
"Lichunyuan, won't it be exposed?"
"That's impossible! Our Holy Mother Church has always been cautious in its actions. How could we be exposed?"
“This… isn’t right!”
Everyone was talking.
But the middle-aged man in the grey Taoist robe said in a deep voice: "Enough! Why are you panicking?"
"This……"
When everyone heard what the man in the Taoist robe said, they all shut their mouths obediently and didn't dare to say anything more!
"A bunch of trash!"
"When something goes wrong, you panic!"
"Have you forgotten all the teachings?!"
The man in Taoist robe glanced at everyone viciously.
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not raise them.
After venting for a while, the man in Taoist robe calmed down a little.
"I'm still not sure about being followed. Next time I go to get intelligence, I'll just have to be more careful!"
"Also, now that we are about to start a rebellion, we must not act recklessly!"
"If anyone dares to mess around, don't blame me for being merciless!"
The man in Taoist robe said viciously.
When those people heard this, they hurriedly said respectfully: "Don't worry, Dharma Protector, we will definitely not make any mistakes!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We must be careful!"
"Please rest assured, Dharma Protector!"
"Humph!"
The man in Taoist robe snorted coldly and said nothing more.
He looked at the letter in his hand and his anger gradually dissipated.
Because the letter said that the Lu family is likely to cooperate with them!
If this is true!
It would be great!
The influence of this kind of family is even stronger than that of the government!
If the Lu family really joins them, then... they can accomplish great things!
……
Noon the next day.
Jiang Chen received a letter from the capital.
But after seeing the content of the letter, Jiang Chen was almost so angry that he vomited blood!
"asshole!"
"What a bunch of bastards!"
"A deadbeat!"
"Ridiculous!"
"They're all trash!"
"waste!!!!"
This is the first time Jiang Chen has lost his temper since coming into this world!
He even broke the teacup!
"Sir! What's wrong with you?"
"Brother Jiang, what happened?"
Xu Yunchang and Zhang Ningshuang in the yard heard the noise in the room and rushed over.
But when the two saw Jiang Chen's angry look, they were also extremely shocked!
It was the first time they saw Jiang Chen so angry!
"call!"
"I'm fine, you guys go out!"
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and waved at the two of them.
"This……"
Zhang Ningshuang looked confused, but still followed Jiang Chen's instructions and left.
But Xu Yunchang did not leave.
"Sir, is there something urgent that you need me to handle?"
Jiang Chen heard this and smiled bitterly.
"Brother, take a look at this."
"This is……?"
Xu Yunchang took the letter from Jiang Chen with a puzzled look on his face.
When Xu Yunchang saw the content of the letter in Jiang Chen's hand, he was also shocked!
"What!? The court actually released the prairie princess!"
"And... and gave trebuchets, stirrups, and horseshoes to the grasslands!?"
"This...how is this possible!?"
"Are they all fools!?"
Xu Yunchang roared angrily!
Yes, this is exactly what was recorded in the letter!
During the negotiations with Caoyuan, the Dajing court released the Caoyuan princess without compensation.
And he also gave the trebuchet and horseshoe saddle to the grassland!
……
The imperial court is not unaware of how powerful horseshoes and saddles are for cavalry!
If every member of the grassland cavalry was equipped with these two things, how could the cavalry of Dajing be their opponent!
And the trebuchet!
That's a siege weapon!
The previous weakness of the grassland was its insufficient siege capability!
Now, if we give them the catapults, then... they will soar into the sky!
"Haha, the court is incompetent!"
"The treacherous ministers are in power!"
"What a tyrant!"
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth in anger!
Emperor Dajing is willing to give away such a powerful weapon!
Is there anything he can't do!?
At this moment, Jiang Chen really wanted to kill this emperor!
"Ugh!"
"Sir, you don't have to be so angry. The court has been like this for a long time!"
Seeing Jiang Chen's angry look, Xu Yunchang sighed helplessly.
"What!?"
Jiang Chen was shocked when he heard this!
"Brother, are you saying... that the court is always like this?"
"Haha, sir, it's not always like this, but it's almost the same!"
"You can see that Luzhou County is pretty good now. It is quite prosperous. And under your leadership, the people of Zhoujia Village are prosperous."
"But how would you know...the sufferings of other people?" Xu Yunchang said with a wry smile.
"Brother, what are the other people like?"
"Wasn't Zhoujia Village very poor before?"
Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
"Haha, sir, Zhoujia Village was not considered poor before. It was considered middle-class among thousands of villages!"
"If you don't believe it, I can take you out for a walk and then you'll know!" Xu Yunchang said bitterly.
"Okay! Big brother, take me there now!"
Jiang Chen said while gritting his teeth.
……
In his opinion, no matter how hard life was in ancient times, it should be like this, right?
Could it be more bitter?
But when Xu Yunchang brought Jiang Chen to the northwest area of Luzhou County, Jiang Chen was dumbfounded!
He had never been here before.
It can be said that he seldom visited Luzhou County.
Now this look...
The Northwestern region is not only dirty and messy, but there are also countless refugees!
Moreover, most of these refugees are elderly women and elderly people.
"Sir, did you see that?"
“This is the current situation of the elderly and women in Dajing.”
"Dajing is short of males, so the young and strong men either join the army or are sold as slaves!"
"And these women and elderly people were all left outside to fend for themselves."
"Every winter, countless people freeze to death, but the next year... countless more will join them..."
Xu Yunchang said this with a bitter look on his face.
Jiang Chen looked at this scene and felt even more sad and angry!
This damn court!
The certificate is useless!
"Mom! I won't leave!"
"Wuwuwu, mother, please don't sell me out!"
"mother!"
At this moment, Jiang Chen heard a shout.
He turned around and saw a little girl of seven or eight years old being dragged away!
Not far from her, there was a group of similar children tied together by ropes.
"this……!?"
Jiang Chen was shocked when he saw this scene!
"Sir, this is normal!"
Xu Yunchang said calmly: "Some healthy children will be bought by human traffickers, so that the family can reduce the burden and get some money."
"The people you see are actually criminals."
"Because their land has been sold, they have no money to pay the poll tax, so... they have committed a crime!"
