Chapter 3058 3060 [Officials force the people to rebel]
After the opening ceremony of the Laozu Temple, it became one of the most popular temples in the surrounding hundred miles.
Because everyone thinks that there is a real **** in this temple, so they came here from hundreds of miles away to burn incense and make wishes, hoping to get the protection of the gods.
Because of Xiang Nan's superb medical skills, able to calculate and speak well, the pilgrims who come here can basically get what they want, so the incense in the Ancestral Temple is getting more and more prosperous.
And every time the pilgrims come, there are offerings, such as sesame oil money, merit money, offering food, etc., so the old ancestral temple really earns a lot.
Xiang Nan and Lu San were in the temple during the day, receiving pilgrims from all over the world. In the evening, close the temple gate and go home together.
Anyway, there is nothing to steal in the temple except for the statues of gods. The silver dollars and food donated by believers will be moved home every day.
And most people believe in ghosts and gods, and few people are so bold as to go to temples to steal things.
…
Days passed day by day, and on this day, a major incident suddenly occurred in Bailuyuan.
It turned out that after the beginning of spring, the common people took the accumulated grain to the county town to sell it for money.
Unexpectedly, the grain truck was snatched by soldiers as soon as it arrived at the county seat. And it was still not enough, so I had to pay three more carts of grain.
When this incident happened, everyone in Bailu Village was very excited.
It’s only April now, and it’s the time when the crops are running low, and the people’s food has just been robbed. Now I have to pay three more truckloads of grain, so it's almost impossible for people to live.
Therefore, everyone protested one after another, and they didn't want to hand over the food. They hoped that the patriarch Bai Bingde would take them to make trouble together.
"Patriarch, you have to stand up and uphold justice."
"Lu Taiheng's bones are weak, and he can't hold on. It depends on you, patriarch!"
"Patriarch, let's fight him, we won't let us live anyway."
At this time, Bai Bingde was already very ill.
Xiang Nan also helped him to see him, but he was already terminally ill and had a few days to live, so he didn't help him to treat him again.
"You asked me to take you to make a fuss, but have you ever thought that once you make a fuss, it will kill you." Bai Bingde said panting, almost speechless.
Hearing what he said, the villagers were all timid.
Although they wanted to make trouble, none of them dared to die.
"Why don't we go to the little fairy and see what he has in mind?" One person suddenly suggested.
"That's right, the little **** can pinch and count, so he will definitely have a good idea."
"Yes, let's ask him."
Everyone echoed and said, turning around and leaving.
When Bai Jiaxuan saw it, he quickly said, "It's troublesome, we have to make trouble. We must at least let the officials know that we ordinary people are not easy to mess with."
He thought clearly, if Xiang Nan really took the lead in this matter, then he would not be able to succeed as the patriarch in the future.
After all, if you don’t step up at the critical moment, how can the big guys have confidence in you. Lu Taiheng has already been scolded as a "soft bone" because he doesn't do anything.
If he doesn't take care of things, he will also be called a "soft bone" when the time comes.
His father is about to fail, if he doesn't show it now, how will he succeed the Patriarch of Bailuyuan in the future? At that time, I am afraid that the entire White Deer Plain will be decided by the little fairy Xiang Nan.
Seeing what he said, the villagers stopped again and looked at him in surprise.
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Seeing his son say that, Bai Bingde got up from the bed angrily and cursed, "Choosing this head will cost you your head."
"Da, when my brother-in-law broke into the Qing army camp half a year ago, he didn't think about his own head." Bai Jiaxuan said resolutely.
Hearing what he said, Bai Bingde couldn't help heaving a long sigh.
…
"Da, Uncle Jiaxuan is going to make trouble in farming, so don't meddle in it." At the same time, Xiang Nan said to Lu San.
He didn't want Lu San to pick the head, because whoever was the first to pick the head would end badly.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, and both were killed; at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang were all killed; …
Since ancient times, although there have been peasant uprisings in all dynasties, there have been almost no successes.
Moreover, the people had no good ideas at all in this peasant uprising, nor did they have a strict organization and leadership, and they didn't even have a clear leader, so it was destined to be a mess.
Maybe it was vigorous when it first started, but when it encountered setbacks, it basically collapsed. To tell you the truth, the combat power is not yet ready to catch up with those bandits on the mountain.
So Xiang Nan does not approve of Lu San taking risks.
Unless he wants to start a real uprising, gather the villagers to form a militia, buy guns, cannons and ammunition, and then be recruited by the Nationalist government, and eventually become a powerful warlord.
Otherwise, don’t worry about it, just practice kung fu in the temple honestly.
"That won't work, the Bai family is so benevolent to us, we can't just stand by when he has something to do." Lu San said.
He was grateful for the kindness of the Bai family to him, so he didn't want anything to happen to Bai Jiaxuan.
"Don't worry, Uncle Jiaxuan will be fine, if something happens to him, I will save him." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "And your seal has been black recently, you are destined to have a disaster.
If you mix with Jiaxuanbo, it will implicate him. At that time, he will turn nothing into something, a good thing into a bad thing, and a small thing into a big thing. So don't meddle in this matter, understand? "
Lu San nodded just now after hearing what he said.
If he is really so unlucky, then don't get Jiaxuan involved.
Xiang Nan smiled when he saw this.
For these fools, it is better to use this method instead of talking about the great principles, and the effect will be faster.
…
Bai Jiaxuan then spread the post, to lead the villagers to fight against the peasants.
It was agreed that at noon tomorrow, the Sanguan Temple would be assembled, and three blunderbusses would ring as a signal. When the time comes, folks from Nanyuan, Beiyuan, Dongyuan, and Xiyuan will flock to the county town together, forcing the county magistrate to withdraw his order, otherwise they will not return to the original place.
Because there was no Lu San to help Zhang Luo, and Bai Jiaxuan couldn't trust others, so he posted all the posts by himself. They are Li Dabao's family in Shenhe Village, Mr. He's family in Hejiafang, and the huge family in Pangjia Village.
Fortunately, the villagers with a radius of tens of miles were very resistant to the matter of handing over grain, so once the chicken feather post was published, it can be said that there was an overwhelming response, and everyone gathered in Sanguan Temple.
It's just that officials don't give it in vain. They got wind of it early and sent people to block the troublemakers in the house.
And also handed over the blunderbuss in their hands, so that they could not send a signal.
Even Bai Jiaxuan was blocked at home by Tian Fuxian and couldn't move.
Seeing this, Bai Jiaxuan became anxious, his teeth were swollen, and his cheeks were swollen and high.
Because this is the first time he has taken the lead, the people have listened to what he said, and now they are all agitated. If the matter came to an end and he didn't show up, which led to the failure of the matter, then his prestige among the villagers would be wiped out from now on.
