Chapter 554: The Life and Death Jump on the Nine-Foot Platform (Part 1)

"Brother Wu, are you really going to have the idea of playing Fujiazhuang next?"
"You first listen to what I did during the few hours I left, and you will understand why I did this. If you look through the old calendar, you can remember it clearly. In a few days, I will be Jingzhe. I will actually go to the fields around the village this afternoon. The old farmers nearby complained one by one. The food they stored in their hands was almost consumed during the winter. The better millet was reluctant to eat. They respected these owners and the masters of the government last year. I hope that these owners can give them even a little sweetness when they are in the spring of this year. Do you know what the so-called standard for sweetness in their hearts is? I asked several people repeatedly and asked them, and I told you
Maybe they wouldn't believe that they just hope that the prices of these grains they had in the past few months should not be so high, so that they could continue to maintain the prices of last year. I've inquired, and after a while, the grains that were originally collected from them in the past few years had returned to them, which increased by 3-4 times, but this year they decided to increase to 5-6 times. Speaking of the government sending them a batch of New Year seeds, guess what, those were actually cooked, I don't need to say clearly, right? With your intelligence, you can roughly guess who was behind the scenes. If you were these old farmers, what would be the result if you were forced to survive? "
"Not rebelling?"
"Da Zhengzhu, if you can't plant the land this year, or in the next second half of the year, the nearby villages will never be able to eat enough due to natural disasters and even have to pay very high taxes, what do you think you will do?"
Da Zhangzhu, who was standing beside him, replied without hesitation: "Then I will pull everyone up to steal the granary of the Fu family. I heard that there can be caught fat mice like chickens in it, just so that everyone can open their flesh."
"But you are so weak, just by using these hatchets in your hands, how can you fight against the people of Fujiazhuang, who are strong and well-armed? Even if you succeed, how can you escape the subsequent pursuit of the officers and soldiers? Then, for the sake of that little food, you will be worth it?" Zhuge Wolong answered.
"It's not that we don't want to live, but that others don't let us survive at all. The ancestors in the village once set rules, one is not allowed to go into the mountains to be bandits, the other is not allowed to go out to beg, and they support themselves with both hands and feet. A few years ago, they could use the bamboos on the mountain to weave some bamboo baskets, bamboo sieves, bamboo chairs and other bamboo weavings to go to Chengdu for some food. Now this road has been blocked, and the farming people from the Fu family are on the ground and priced again. Once people are driven crazy, they are the only way to grab grain."
"I absolutely support you in this matter, but I think it's better to start now. While everyone has just eaten meat and has a lot of strength, we might as well grab the grain from Fujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, and Lianjiabao tomorrow, and grab the grain from these big owners and rich households in Huayang area, so that everyone can plant the grain earlier in the season, so that there will be a harvest in the coming year."
"No, Huayang is the granary of Chengdu. Once the foundation here is moved, the whole Chengdu will be in chaos."
"If these people continue to make such noise, they will be in chaos sooner or later. It is better to cut this piece of rotten meat early so that everyone can live at least a few comfortable days."
"Don't we have money? Why don't we pay to buy these honest farmers?"
"Zhuge Wolong, a real man has something to do and does not. This time it is a matter of principle. Do you think I will agree to your unreasonable request? Why do I think you have become more and more timid since you entered the Chengdu Prefecture territory? No matter how much I say I am a well-known person, let alone the money of that car has been arranged. Now you ask me to use the money from these brothers to please these scums with their lives. If you really say it, you tell them."
"Then I'll go and discuss with them now."
"No need, the matter of robbing food is decided."
Zhuge Wolong suddenly approached Wu Yonglin with a nervous expression and whispered in his ear: "You are now known as the magistrate Wu. If this matter is spread, you may have a bad reputation."
"Do you think Wu Bo hasn't had a few notorious cases in recent years? Anyway, there is no need to be too many."
"But this time it's different. If you pull out the radish and bring out the mud, you will move the foundation of these people, but it will not be very beneficial to your plan to travel to Chengdu later."
"If you live for a lifetime, if you seek pros and cons, it is better to be a turtle with a head-shrinking turtle. I didn't expect these rich gentry families to take the initiative to help me. People must rely on themselves. What's more, I heard that it was the day when the Fu family sacrificed their ancestors. We happened to take this opportunity to make trouble. After passing this village, there would be no such store." Wu Yonglin turned around and called Zhang Hu, Tang Qian, Luo Pingyang and others in, and discussed with the big boy in the house to go to Fujiazhuang tomorrow, and chatted until late at night.
When everyone was ready to go and left happily to make arrangements, Yue Ling'er led Yue Fei, who had not seen each other for many days, was covered in dust, with a big straw hat on his head and was wrapped tightly in a straw raincoat. As soon as he met, Yue Fei shouted: "Brother-in-law, what's the good thing? Don't leave me behind."
"Tell me first, all the things I arranged for you can be done?"
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I have rescued a lot of Han slaves who were originally planning to bring back the grasslands of western Sichuan. However, the skills of several of the riders are so good that they are temporarily allowed to escape back to the grassland."
"I have dealt with all the leaders Zedan and others. The escaped people have nothing to do with the whole situation, and I guess there will be no good results when I go back."
"Brother-in-law, just swallow your heart into your stomach. I will send someone to rush from another mountain road to inform Gesang of Hongyuan. What will happen if these people escape back? Brother-in-law doesn't need to say I should know what the outcome will happen if they will."
"Well, you are bold and careful. You are becoming more and more general's demeanor. Don't hear me praising you so much, and your heart is floating and ignorant. Only then can I dare to let you do more things. Have you ever met the Wei Dynasty's army during this period?"
"Those teams of more than 100 turtles with head-hungry turtles were beaten to the point of running away by more than a dozen Tubo people who could ride and shoot. They didn't have time to escape, so there was no time to pay attention to us. But recently I discovered something special. I always felt like I was staring at by a pair of eagles' eyes. And when you come to you, it seems that there are more than one pair. Otherwise, you can match me with some good hands tonight and I will touch them."
"Who do you think this is?"
"To be honest with my brother-in-law, I have secretly tested these people out of the camp several times. These people are extremely alert and seem to be good at kung fu. They are definitely good at keeping people in check. They are almost as alert as Pingyang, Zhang Hu and others."
"Well, that's all. If I guess correctly, these people should be from Tokyo and from the upper class. After all, there is such a big mess in Li Prefecture. It's normal to have a spy. As long as they are not bad for us, I don't have to pay attention to them. Maybe someone else will arrange it to protect us. But you are too eye-catching now and you must not stay here for a long time. After tonight, you must go back to Mr. Liu immediately and guard his big baby for me."
"Sister, you're going to talk to me."
Yue Ling'er next to him was about to speak, but Wu Yonglin immediately blocked the conversation: "There is no room for negotiation in this matter. I asked you to come today, not to let you stay by my side, but to find you to understand your situation during this period, so that I can feel a little confident in my heart when I go to Chengdu. I am just going to be straightforward, which is my retreat after my failure in Chengdu. This is not a joke. You have also seen it. I almost bet on the life of a family and my brothers. If there is any mistake, it cannot be solved by one or two people."
"Brother-in-law, can't I listen to you all?"
"I don't know what you are thinking about in your head? There are so many delicious foods in Chengdu, but you have to have the life to enjoy them. Now it's a troublesome situation. Don't cause trouble for me here. Go back to me immediately wherever you come. When the time is right, you will naturally arrange for you to come."
"Listen to your brother-in-law's advice, he is also for your own good. You also know that you have been on the list of some people in the Wei Dynasty. Wouldn't your outspoken appearance be exposed to everything?"
"Hmph, I'll go find Xiaodao and Ruolan to make peace with me. Today they sleep with me, and no one is allowed to argue with me." After Yue Fei said that, he rushed out angrily.
"I don't know when a child will grow up, but this brother-in-law is sensible." Wu Yonglin pinched Yue Ling'er's hand next to him, making Yue Ling'er, who is already an old husband and wife, very embarrassed, and her face turned red and white.
Yue Ling'er calmed down and murmured, "Does it be time to arrange a marriage for him? I think he always has a certainty. It is better to let a woman take care of him than to nag him every day, my sister, every day, isn't it?"
"Didn't you realize that he can't control his mouth? I don't think it's a woman's problem, it's because he hasn't been very sensible, and it's not suitable for the moment. Haven't you heard you have had a special fate with a woman? You're so rash and proposing a marriage for him, I think it's counterproductive. You and I are all experienced people. The time has come for the little fate between men and women, and that's impossible to stop it."
"I can't tell you anyway."
"That's the matter, but not the reason. I see his own affairs, so we should not worry about it. Otherwise, you call Shuang'er and let the three of us sleep together today."
"Why are you getting more and more serious?"
"The relationship between husband and wife is the most important thing in life, not to mention that today's opportunity is once a lifetime."
