Chapter 1256 Chapter 1256: The leader of the church is actually myself (Part 1) [Asking for monthly votes]
“What good news?”
The current situation allows the Lord to say "good news", and its value can be imagined. Qin Li thought about it for a while but couldn't figure out what it was, but the master deliberately kept it secret, and his eyes told him to guess. But he was not Gu Chi, how could he guess it? Just to avoid being disappointed, he could only cooperate with the other person's little hobby.
“Is it possible that Uncle Qian and the other side are making progress again?”
Open the sluice and release the water. In a battle, the enemy will be unable to find the north. The elite will either be lost on the river or scattered in all directions. Qian Yong is as cheerful as anything these days, and the energy to show off his power can flow out from between the lines, making people worry that he will become proud and complacent, and eventually capsize in the gutter. Of course, Qin Li is not worried about this scene happening. There are people watching Qian Yong.
Qian Yong is not reliable, but Ning Yan and others are always reliable.
“That’s not right. Guess again, Gongsu?”
“I’m sorry for being stupid, I really can’t figure it out.”
Qin Li chose to lie down and ask for mercy directly from Shen Tang.
Shen Tang said: "There is some movement over Shanxiao."
Hearing the word "shanxiao", Qin Li, Cui Xiao's old friend for many years, was strangely stunned for a moment, as if he was searching for the name and its owner in his mind. When the two met, Qin Li pressed his forehead with a headache, and smiled bitterly.
“Good filial piety should indeed be good filial piety.”
When he made his guess just now, he thought about people in a circle, but he didn't think of Cui Xiao. This made Qin Li feel horrified and a little ashamed. That's all about the others. He and Cui Xiao have been close friends for many years. He has really ignored the latter since he has been gone for so long!
Shen Tang understood the subtlety on Qin Li's face for a moment.
Patting his arm as a comfort, he deliberately lowered his voice and said with a guilty conscience: "Actually, we are just the same. I don't know what Shanxiao did this time. I almost forgot about him. Ahem, when he comes back, we won't let him know. Just..."
Qin Li was puzzled: "Then how could your lord know..."
Outsiders’ perception of Cui Xiao is also ranked.
From weakest to strongest, they are: unrelated strangers, nodding acquaintances, subordinates who are more familiar with nodding acquaintances, colleagues with frequent dealings, Qishan, a group of close friends and old friends headed by Qin Li, Lord! Even the Lord subconsciously ignored Cui Xiao, which meant that Cui Xiao's sense of existence was almost as weak as air, almost invisible! Only happened once in years!
According to Cui Xiao himself, he almost died quietly.
Fortunately, Fu Da Ming was relieved and saved a life.
Is the old thing happening again this time?
Shen Tang said: "My incarnation was heard in the Southwest Allied Camp. This news is still confidential and was forcibly suppressed by the Southwest Allies. The Holy Son of the Eternal Life Sect is centered in the Lu Kingdom, and more than 300,000 believers responded to the request. Kill the evil spirits for heaven!"
This plan was not hidden from Qin Li from the beginning.
Even though Qin Li was mentally prepared, he was shocked by the speed and scale. How long has it been since the Holy Son of the Eternal Life Religion came forward to gather more than 300,000 followers to respond? In other words, how long has it been since Cui Xiao took the national seal from his master? If we start counting from that time, does it count as one month? In the flash of lightning, thousands of thoughts were intertwined and swimming in Qin Li's mind.
Combining the two events, he vaguely understood something.
"More than three hundred thousand believers..." Qin Li forced down the throbbing veins on his forehead. He was also glad that his uncle and nephew Weicheng had already washed their hands in a golden basin. They had been squatting in the Kangguo territory and imprisoned for these years and did not continue to act as troublemakers. Otherwise, this number would It will be bigger!
“I don’t think I have much to do with my uncle and nephew.”
“Why doesn’t it matter?”
Qin Li didn't expect that he would say what was in his heart unconsciously, and he couldn't agree with his lord's defense of Wei Cheng's uncle and nephew.
The Eternal Life Sect was established on a whim by Weicheng.
The teachings that confuse people's hearts were perfected by Wei Lou in his spare time.
If the Eternal Life Religion did not exist, how could so many believers respond?
Shen Tang said: "These uncle and nephew are not the 'cause' of everything. Naturally, we cannot blame all the 'effects' on them. Most of the ordinary believers of the Eternal Life Sect join the religion because their lives are so difficult that they cannot escape. Who is it? Is it the 'cause' that causes them to live in a situation where they can't live without death?
"It's like the common people can't survive without picking up hoes and revolting, which eventually leads to unrest. But you can't blame the poor land for growing food, you can't blame God for bringing natural disasters, and you can't blame the common people for not working hard enough to open up wasteland! You should blame the local county. Why did the government allow the common people not to have enough farmland? Why did the fertile farmland become the private property of the local gentry? Why did the government not store water before the drought? Why did the government not build dams to prevent floods before the drought... If you don't blame me, you have to do your best to survive. Weak people should blame the strong people who are capable but do nothing.”
“The real culprit should be punished!”
Shen Tang’s ideas are completely contrary to the current mainstream. She knows it, but she insists on going her own way. After all, she is the ruler of the country, and she is also a ruler who is good at civil and military skills. Those who disagree with her ideas must abide by her rules if they want to make a living under her account.
And her rules are—
When subordinates make mistakes, their superiors will reflect on their mistakes; when governance is chaotic, the government will reflect on their mistakes. Find problems more often on the capable than on the weak. What’s the use? The reason why the weak are weak is naturally because they have shortcomings. What can they find if they are asked to find problems?
Shen Tang’s logic is also impeccable.
The civil and military ministers other than the elders felt that this should not be the case. They studied hard and made contributions in order to one day be able to hold a high position and become a leader. In Kang State, even if this set of rules is not established, they still have to take the blame for the people below.
They reflect on their colleagues when they make mistakes.
Listen, is there any heavenly principle or law for this?
However, Shen Tang holds military power, and no one dares to say anything.
Qin Li agreed with what the Lord said later, but still disagreed with the judgment that Weicheng's uncle and nephew had little relationship. Even if there weren't their uncles and nephews, there would be others, but now only their uncles and nephews are showing up.
Even if they are not the "cause", they are still two accomplices!
After all, this is a trivial matter that does not involve principles. Qin Li did not argue with the Lord, but his inner impression of Wei Cheng's uncle and nephew was deducted by three points! He sighed: "Indeed, if the countries in the southwest were not so mean, there wouldn't be so many people desperate."
The worse the governance, the more people will be desperate.
The more these people there are, the more attractive the Eternal Life Religion will be.
The fertile ground for the expansion of the Eternal Life Religion is also broader.
"More than three hundred thousand believers are just the believers who have received the news recently. As long as the first batch of believers can establish a firm foothold and find a foothold, believers in the southwest will respond, and then it will be lively." Thinking back to Avatar Wu You saw The expressions on the faces of the allied troops could not stop rising, and the corners of their mouths could not stop rising. It's scientifically proven that smiles don't disappear, they just move from their faces to hers.
Qin Li was also worried.
“No matter how many believers there are, they are still ordinary people. I’m afraid it won’t happen. All countries will send troops to suppress it, and it will be effective in a short time.”
There are very few successful cases of people's uprisings.
Born at the bottom, with a little results, it is easy to be narrowed by wealth, and then enjoyed the gentle hometown. The essence of what the Lord often said is—the dragon slayer will eventually become the evil dragon!
Of course, his Lord was an exception.
“It doesn’t matter whether it can be suppressed or not…”
The more important thing is that the more civilians respond, the more fields will become barren, making it even more difficult for the Southwest Allied Forces’ already stretched logistical supply. Before the war started, Shen Tang also made a night attack on one of their granaries to cause mold to sprout, which made matters worse!
Enough for this group of people to drink a pot.
Shen Tang can see clearly, but there are always people who cannot see clearly. These people are not one person, they are a group!
“Damn it, who spread these rumors to shake the morale of the army?”
This news must have come from Kang State!
The intention is very obvious, just to mess with their mentality!
“Check, send someone to find out!”
Unexpectedly, a voice came from the corner.
"If the news is false, doesn't it mean that all the vanguard scouts have been bribed and infiltrated? If so, what are you still fighting here for?"
The speaker is Gongyang Yongye, who never likes to get involved.
After all, he is the 19th grade Guannei Marquis, and no one dares to act arrogantly in front of him. Even the people in the Lu State who were burning their butts endured their anger.
Xiaozhi is based on emotion, and action is based on reason: "Gongyang Chehou Mingjian, what time of year is it now? It has already passed the spring plowing, and it will take some time to harvest. Even if the common people are in chaos, they will wait until after the harvest. How can they be harvested now? Instigated by traitors of the Eternal Life Cult?”
Gongyang Yongye first nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense, and the timing is wrong, but - has the general ever considered the possibility that the fields about to be harvested have little to do with them?"
It is not your own land, so you won’t feel bad if it is ruined.
The people in Lu State are going crazy with anxiety.
Blurted out: "How can it be irrelevant?"
Gongyang Yongye looked into the other person's eyes with a half-smile but not a smile. There was no sadness or joy in those eyes, but an almost indifferent color.
He asked back: "Seriously, it doesn't matter?"
Just five words, but when they fall on the ears, they are like thunder on the ground.
Many people present were shaken to the point of numbness, and some indescribable guilt and fear spread in their hearts. Even though they only need to respond with three words: "It doesn't matter," some people want to open their mouths but find that their tongues seem to have been filled with lead water and they can't open their mouths no matter what.
Gongyang Yongye calmly made up for it.
"I remember many years ago, the southwest was more mountainous and watery than land, and there was not much arable land. It was difficult to cultivate. During the hurricane season, floods were frequent and it was more difficult for crops to survive. Over the past few decades, the situation has eased slightly, but the land that the common people can cultivate has become more and more difficult. Come less and less.”
In order to survive, they can only work as tenants to ensure basic survival, while spending energy to cultivate their own land.
How can the speed of land reclamation as a family unit compare to the speed of harvesting by local wealthy families?
The fields have nothing to do with the common people.
The same is true for the products of the land.
Gong Yang Yongye told the truth, but when it fell on some people's ears, it hurt more than the **** of a silver needle baked by candlelight, as if the skin had been torn off and thrown to the ground. If ordinary people said this, they would die eight hundred times earlier, but the person in front of them could make them die eight hundred times on the spot. They could only swallow all the resentment and resentment in their stomachs, and some even felt heartbroken and deeply aggrieved!
Ask yourself, they are not evil gentry.
Nor has it driven anyone to a dead end.
Isn’t it natural for them to lease the fields in their name to farmers and take a certain percentage of the agricultural output? How can there be any land in the world that is free for others to cultivate? This part is the rent! As for how much tax they pay and how much food they have left over, what does this have to do with them?
Can’t afford to live?
It’s time to reflect on whether you are lazy and don’t work hard enough!
How much effort you put in will get you the rewards.
Three-year-old children know the truth, but the unruly people don't know?
Gongyang Yongye said nothing more when he saw this.
The rebellion of the followers of the Eternal Life Cult does not matter whether it has anything to do with others or not. It has nothing to do with him anyway. If this bunch of **** didn't leave a way for people to survive, who would be willing to rebel?
Luo Yuan looked at everyone's faces and was silent.
As mentioned before, many high-level believers of the Eternal Life Sect are from local wealthy families. They did not join the religion because they believed in the doctrine. They simply joined the religion so that it would be easier to manage the "believers" under their rule. They found that managing this group of believers was easier than fooling the common people.
The tenant believers have to pay more than just the autumn and summer taxes and rent?
As a believer, you still have to pay offerings.
These profits naturally fell into the hands of the leader of the Eternal Life Sect, and were all taken away by the so-called worshippers in various places. These worshipers take off their fake skin, but underneath they are still the same people. After layers of pressure, even in good years, there is no food ration left.
Do these people really don’t know?
Still know it, but don’t take it seriously?
As long as you’re alive and don’t starve to death, you don’t have to worry?
Whether the news is true or false, the culprit is either the Eternal Life Sect or Shen Youli! Anyway, it won't be any of them.
Qi Cang didn’t come because he was fishing, so he received the news late.
He clicked his tongue and said, "This day repeats itself year after year. How come it doesn't happen sooner or later, and now it suddenly happens?"
He didn’t believe it if there was no handwriting from Kang Guo in it.
Shen Wuyoutang first glanced at his empty fish basket and replied casually: "Maybe no one told them that they were standing on the edge of the cliff before, right? Someone shouted, and they all saw the situation. If they take a step back, Really shattered.”
How can you be afraid of wearing shoes when you are barefoot?
Qi Cang said: "It is unethical for someone to open his mouth."
“Immoral?”
Qi Cang looked at her meaningfully and sneered: "How can you not be immoral? The main forces of the Allied Forces from the southwest countries have been dragged here. How many people can be deployed in the country to counter the rebellion? The rebellion cannot be countered quickly, and the fields are barren and unharvested. This year I don’t know how many people will starve to death. I don’t know if the people behind it can bear so much karma.”
As everyone knows, Qi Cang’s worries are also Shengzi’s worries.
She was worried before the actual incident.
【If it fails, millions of people will be killed by then! 】
She also felt uneasy when she thought that so many people would be indirectly killed because of her. These believers continue to be in a state of confusion and are somehow able to survive. What if they wake up and really die?
Your Highness the Son of God does not need to hesitate, just follow the footsteps of the true God. ] Cui Xiao said quietly, [God will send down the rain. 】
Do you want to postpone this battle until the winter?

Unbounded and Xia Ke are really great inventions. They just spawn anniversary pendants.
PS: (Last week, I hung up and refreshed the game more than 60 times without posting. Today, I was idle and bored while hanging up and reading fanfics. I can only say that some old people should not love it too much.)
PPS: The **** joke in the previous chapter is that neither Zhai Le, who proposed it, nor Tang Mei, who agreed, had any intention of completely keeping their promise. This is equivalent to acknowledging that we will imitate Emperor Guangwu in the first half, without any doubt, and in the second half, Sima Yi will stab everyone in the back. ability.
