Traveling Through Land Reclamation: Farmers' Women Can't Be Dizzled

Chapter 326 Building Momentum

  Jing Yi, Lu Tingjie and Lin Zhuocheng discussed countermeasures, and then Lu Tingjie sent people to spread the news, and Jing Yi and Lin Zhuocheng would also send people to spread the word.

  After Lu Tingjie and Jing Yi discussed their next plan, they did not feel so uneasy, and simply acted as planned.

  He also knew the strength of Yuanling County's current troops, and he also knew how powerful the recruits were under Jing Yi's training.

  Lu Tingjie recalled what General Lin had said about Jing Yi once leading a border force in Jin to fight Xiyan, and even beheading Xiyan's general, Liang Wei. The gentle and delicate little girl he once remembered now was a general who could lead thousands of troops.

  No wonder Jing Yi, facing the soldiers in the barracks with a gentle breeze, convinced the recruits to train one by one. It was because they knew how powerful Jing Yi was.

  After Lu Tingjie returned, he arranged for people to spread the word, saying that the court would raise taxes. It is said that officials in Fucheng are envious of the wealth of Yuanling County, and they want to levy additional taxes for their own enjoyment.

  The people who had been harvesting this year were happy not to go hungry this year, but suddenly they heard that the officials above wanted to raise their taxes, and the taxes were very heavy. This made the people who were immersed in the joy of the harvest to panic.

  Farmers in many villages are weighing whether they have enough food to pay taxes, and whether they still have food for their families.

  "Oh, this doesn't let us live at all. It is difficult for us to meet a good official like Judge Lu who never exploits us, but the court does not care about our life or death. It's finally a little hopeful, but we can't live anymore."

  "Yes, we just settled in. This year, with the help of District Judge Lu and Master Liu, we have been doing a harvest. We don't have hunger. The court came to exploit us again. I heard that Judge Lu told us that However, higher authorities do not agree, so this tax should be levied. "The ordinary people complain,

  and under the guidance of those who cared, the panic in the hearts of the people gradually turned into anger. Especially the victims who fled the famine and resettled in Yuanling County, they were afraid of starvation, and they did not want to starve anymore, and they did not want to sell their children or daughters anymore.

  They eventually settled down and got a good harvest, but the officials did not let them live and wanted to exploit them.

  Lin Zhuocheng also specifically gave the recruits a vacation to let them go home to visit their families, and the soldiers also learned from their families that the imperial palace would raise taxes.

  As Jing Yi was training the recruits, she also noticed everyone's talk about the court's tax increase. He saw that most of the soldiers were complaining and angry, and said in a timely manner: "The officials of this court are corrupt, and the increase tax is not fixed. It is said that the emperor built lavish palaces in spite of hunger in various places, often held various banquets, enjoyed and wasted, and was completely indifferent to the lives of the people. There's corrupt officials in court, though,

  such a foolish Emperor did not even know when he would be first."

  A team leader said, "Master Liu, are we going to be exploited like this? My family planted the seeds you gave me this year and got a good harvest. My parents and my brother-in-law all said that we don't need to go hungry this year. Doesn't this tax increase starve us again? ”A soldier next to him said with

  naive, "Yes, my parents brought my brother and sister. Anyway, there's hope. The tax increase means the food collected is useless. I grow my own food, but I can't eat enough. The exploits of the imperial court left us with absolutely no way out. Such an imperial court is still What do you want. "

  The soldier's mouth was immediately shut by the person next to him, "Say nonsense, be careful not to let anyone listen to him and cause trouble for the family."

  Jing Yi said: "Right, if we submit blindly, then our family members will not be able to survive. in the end It is better to ignore the orders from above than not to be able to endure If the ones above actually send people to suppress us, we also Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, can't we defend our homeland after training for that long?"

  Jing Yi's words were echoed by many soldiers, and they were also people who were suffering and suffering from hunger.

  "Coach Liu, you're right. Aren't we training so hard to defend our homeland? Now that the imperial palace has ignored our life and death, what should we do to protect it, why not just reverse it. If not, it will happen

  it will die sooner or later. If not, there is still hope for survival. " . We will defend our own homeland." Everyone reacted enthusiastically

  . Very strongly, this was also the result of Jing Yi's usual ideological upbringing.

  Jing Yi said: "You don't need to worry, I've already talked about it with District Judge Lu, our Yuanling County did not listen to the officials who gave the orders, the commoners are finally safe, the general public is finally safe, and we can't let the others destroy what we finally got. Happy living.

  What are we soldiers for? To defend our home and our country, but it also depends on whether the country is worth defending. Currently, the government is corrupt and the emperor is stupid . The contrary.

  So what if we are suppressed by the imperial palace. If we do not face death, there is great hope for survival. From now on, let's train our troops more often.

  In addition, our Yuanling County will continue to expand our recruitment and expand our military strength. As long as we have our own army, we won't be afraid of anyone." Subsequent to

  Jingyi moved for a while, the recruits trained even harder. Jing Yi also refined food for the soldiers who improved their training, so that the soldiers in the barracks could meet their nutrition.

  They could eat enough every day, and there was meat to eat, the soldiers felt the soldiers they served were very happy.

  After the publicity of Jing Yi, Lin Zhuocheng and the others, more people signed up to serve in the army.

  Jing Yi also took over the training of the newly recruited warriors.

  Not only did Yuanling County recruit troops, but it also began to expand its territory, Lu Tingjie had sent people to persuade the judges of Lin County to join Yuanling County and fight against the suppression of the imperial palace.

  In order to make no sense to raise taxes in Yuanling County, Meizhou prefect Xue Wanhe issued official documents to other counties to raise taxes. Although not as much as Yuanling County, the other counties were not as rich as Yuanling County, and it was even more difficult to collect taxes.

  District judges from several counties were so embarrassed by the official letter that their hair turned gray. This year is not good, the court not only does not provide assistance to the people, but also seeks to exploit and blackmail the people, is not this clearly going to force the people to rebel against the government? Are there still a few forced rebels in Yi Kingdom?
