The peasant uprising in Bailuyuan ended before it even started.
Among them, the most outstanding performance is Tian Fuxian.
Without Tian Fuxian's "strategy", the Jiaonong uprising would not have been solved so easily.
However, Tian Fuxian became careless after his victory.
He never imagined that a mere young monk would dare to hold him hostage.
They also took away guns and horses.
Fortunately, I didn't lose my life.
Tian Fuxian was almost frightened.
Tian Fuxian didn't dare not report such a big thing.
"The merits outweigh the faults!" This is what the magistrate of Zishui County told Tian Fuxian.
It turned out that Tian Fuxian had made great achievements and would soon be promoted to a higher position.
But throwing away the gun and horse is a big mistake.
Therefore, there is a saying of 'the merits outweigh the faults', no rewards and no punishments.
"The food collection continues and must be completed within the deadline!" Tian Fuxian must continue to complete the task of collecting food.
The overtaxed grain must continue to be harvested, otherwise no one will be able to fill the shortfall.
Tian Fuxian started a new round of grain collection.
But it's not that easy.
The common people have been pushed to the edge of the cliff.
If you push harder, the people will not jump off the cliff, but will only fight hard.
Bailu Village.
Ancestral hall.
Bai Bingde summoned the whole village to discuss matters.
It's not about collecting food, it's about choosing the next clan leader.
Bai Bingde felt that his time was running out.
He must make Bai Jiaxuan the clan leader before he dies.
With Bai Bingde's support and Bai Jiaxuan's usual performance, which is much better than Lu Zilin's, it is basically a certainty that Bai Jiaxuan will become the clan leader.
But Lu Taiheng, as Bai Bingde's lifelong old rival, would not give in so easily.
"Whoever wants to be the clan leader must solve the problem of collecting more food!"
This is a statement that all the villagers of Bailu Village recognize as Lu Taiheng’s rhythm.
This is a rogue way.
But it works.
Don’t you, Bai Bingde, want Bai Jiaxuan to be the clan leader?
Well.
Let Bai Jiaxuan deal with the extra levy of food first.
Or take the lead in refusing to pay food.
Either the Bai family will find a way to deal with the extra three loads of food.
How much is three loads of grain?
One cart of grain is almost as much as ten acres of land can produce in a year.
Three carts equals thirty acres of land, enough grain to be produced in one year.
Does the Bai family have so much food?
In other words, does the Bai family have so much money? (The extra three loads of grain paid can be offset with money.)
Maybe the Bai family doesn't have that much food.
But the money that the Bai family has saved over the years should be enough.
Now the question becomes: Are the Bai family willing to use the money from three carts of grain to support Bai Jiaxuan as the clan leader?
In the ancestral hall.
Bai Bingde's face looked very ugly.
He didn't expect that Lu Taiheng would do this.
This is equivalent to putting the Bai family on the fire.
"It's interesting." Zhou Qiang felt a little funny.
Zhou Qiang has returned to Bailu Village.
I heard that the Jiaonong uprising failed.
Zhou Qiang came back.
Zhou Qiang did not expect that the Jiao Nong uprising would fail.
Zhou Qiang thought that the Jiaonong uprising would be successful like in the TV series.
Then after the fall, Lu San was arrested, and Bai Jiaxuan's "benevolent" act of saving Lu San was performed.
During the process, Lu Zilin also participated, showing a cowardly and selfish side.
In the TV series, the performance of Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin during a handover was watched by the people.
Bai Jiaxuan is a real tough guy who shows what is benevolence and righteousness and is willing to sacrifice his life for justice.
And Lu Zilin, like Lu Taiheng, is just a weakling, showing his selfish and timid nature.
At the critical moment, Lu Zilin was unreliable.
Therefore, after Bai Bingde's death, Bai Jiaxuan still suppressed Lu Taiheng and Lu Zilin and was elected as the clan leader.
(In the TV series, Bai Bingde died during the Jiaonong uprising, and he died earlier than now.
After Bai Bingde's death, Lu Taiheng took charge of the selection of the clan leader.
In this case, Lu Zilin has a great chance of winning.
However, due to the settlement of accounts after the Jiaonong uprising, both Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin were forced to "perform on stage."
Which of the two is good and who is not?
The common people can see clearly and clearly.
Therefore, Bai Jiaxuan became the clan leader. )
Stop talking and get down to business.
Whether the Jiaonong uprising failed or not was indifferent to Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang will not admit that this is the 'butterfly effect' caused by him.
After Zhou Qiang came back, he heard that there was a lot of fun at the ancestral hall, so he came.
After arriving, I found out that the Bai family and the Lu family were fighting for the position of clan leader.
The Bai family has the upper hand, and the position of patriarch is almost within their grasp.
But the Lu family was unwilling to fail, so they used the "grain collection" issue to deliberately make things difficult for the Bai family.
In the ancestral hall, the situation was a bit awkward.
Bai Bingde couldn't control the situation.
After all, people are selfish.
The villagers in Bailu Village all hope that they will not pay more food, and they all hope that the clan leader will solve the problem.
At this moment, Zhou Qiang suddenly spoke. He shouted from the back of the crowd: "What is that? Let me ask, whoever solves the three extra carts of food will be the clan leader?"
Zhou Qiang's question was very interesting, as if he wanted to be the clan leader.
People around him were stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Zhou Qiang continued: "I want to be the leader of the clan. I have to pay three extra loads of food. Can I be the leader?"
Zhou Qiang still said it clearly, as if he was afraid that everyone wouldn't understand.
"no!"
"We can't let people with foreign surnames take over!"
"How does that sound when a half-year-old child becomes the leader of the clan!"
Sure enough, everyone refused in unison.
This was of course expected by Zhou Qiang.
"Since being a clan leader has to pay for the extra three loads of food, and now I am willing to pay for the extra food, why can't I be the clan leader?" Zhou Qiang refused. He had nothing to do and was ready to do something to liven up the atmosphere.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The villagers felt that what Zhou Qiang said seemed to make sense.
But that’s not the truth. They can’t figure out what’s wrong.
"Xiaoqiang, you have nothing to do here, so don't scare and cause trouble." Lu Zilin scolded. As soon as he and Lu Taiheng forced Bai Jiaxuan and his son to get off the stage, Zhou Qiang started to cause trouble. This Zhou Qiang is so bad and always goes against his Lu family.
"Brother Zilin, I didn't cause any trouble. I want to help everyone with the extra food, but why can't I do that? Do you want to pay for three more carts of food?" Zhou Qiang started to mess around.
"No. My family doesn't have that much food." Lu Zilin shook his head hurriedly. He is not stupid, so he would not pay for three more carts of food just to be the clan leader.
"It's okay to have money if you don't have food. You can also pay for it." Zhou Qiang continued to hold on to Lu Zilin.
"Money" Lu Zilin was almost bypassed by Zhou Qiang, "There is no money. Whoever becomes the clan leader will have three more carts of food."
"Yes, I have three extra carts of grain, and I will be the leader of the clan!" Zhou Qiang said about the cart wheel.
"You can't be the clan leader."
"Why not?"
"Because you have a foreign surname."
"Why can't a person with a foreign surname be a clan leader?"
"This is Bailu Village. Only our Bai family or Lu family can be the clan leaders."
"Oh, so you and Brother Jiaxuan can only be the clan leaders, and no one else can?"
"That's not what you said." Lu Zilin was almost mad at Zhou Qiang, "Anyone can be the leader of the clan."
Lu Zilin was mid-sentence when he was intercepted by Zhou Qiang, "Yes, anyone can be the leader of the clan. I'll take care of three loads of food. I'll be the leader of the clan. That's it!"
"What?"
"How come it's settled?"
"What's going on?"
"It seems that Lu Zilin agreed to Zhou Qiang becoming the clan leader."
"How can we agree? Zhou Qiang is from a foreigner's surname. How can he be the patriarch of our Bailu Village?"
"That's right, Zhou Qiang cannot be the clan leader."
"Is Lu Zilin talking nonsense?"
"Is Lu Zilin confused?"
Everyone said something to each other, and the ancestral hall became noisy for a while.
Bai Bingde hit the ground hard with his crutch and shouted: "Quiet! Quiet!"
Everyone was silent.
Bai Bingde still has some authority.
"This is the end of today's discussion. Let's break up." Bai Bingde felt helpless.
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.
His family's financial resources were depleted because Bai Jiaxuan married his seventh daughter-in-law.
If we have to pay for three more carts of food, the family will really have no money.
If it weren't for this, Bai Bingde would have agreed to provide three loads of food on the spot to pave the way for Bai Jiaxuan to become the clan leader.
Bai Bingde is not Lu Taiheng.
Lu Taiheng was reluctant to part with three loads of grain.
Bai Bingde was willing to give up. But now the Bai family doesn't have much money. Three more carts of food can bring the Bai family to ruin.
Everyone dispersed.
Bai Jiaxuan was in no hurry to leave.
Zhou Qiang also stayed.
"Brother Jiaxuan, I heard that someone sent a chicken feather letter to the farmers to start an uprising?"
"Yes, but Tian Fuxian knew the news in advance and kept the instigator at home, so nothing happened."
"What should we do? Do we really have to pay for the three extra loads of grain that the county collected?"
"Definitely not." Bai Jiaxuan said firmly, with cruel eyes.
"Yes, we can't hand it over. If we really want to hand it over, many people will starve to death. But if we don't hand it over, what will we do? Tian Fuxian is carrying a gun, and he goes everywhere to collect food."
"What can those few broken guns do?" Bai Jiaxuan said loudly and with a strong backbone. He doesn't seem to be afraid of death.
Zhou Qiang shook his head and stopped talking.
Don't underestimate Tian Fuxian's guns. It was because of those guns that the people in Bailuyuan were frightened.
Zhou Qiang went home and continued to live happily.
It doesn't matter to him whether he pays for food or not.
On Bailuyuan, Tian Fuxian continued to collect grain.
Every village is compulsorily collecting grain.
"No, this is my family's last ration. If I hand it over, my whole family will starve to death!"
"God damn Tian Fuxian, you must die a happy death!"
"My old hen! No!"
"Clan Chief, Patriarch, think of a solution quickly, I can't survive!"
The sound of crying for father and mother resounded in Bailuyuan.
Public discontent began to boil.
This evening.
The moon is full.
partly cloudy.
Bai Jiaxuan's family.
The entrance of the courtyard.
"Third brother, this is a chicken-feathered letter from our Bailu Village. Please pass the letter to these three families.
Remember, this Jiaonong uprising must be kept out of the sight of Tian Fuxian. "Bai Jiaxuan is going to take the lead in the peasant uprising.
Last time someone else tried to take the lead but failed.
This time Bai Jiaxuan decided to take the lead.
It also summarized the reasons for the last failure.
First, we found Tian Fuxian's thugs and blocked their news.
Especially Lu Zilin, Lu Zilin must not be allowed to know.
I also prepared the guns in advance.
I'm afraid that by then, the gun will no longer sound.
"Young Master, can it work this time?" Lu San was a little worried. After all, it has failed once, will you still believe it?
"It will definitely work. Everyone is forced into a corner, and they are all waiting for someone to take the lead.
When you arrive at these three stores, you knock on the door, slide the post through the door, say hello, and the goods have arrived.
Don’t meet with others, remember? "
"take note of it."
"If you meet someone you know on the way back and forth, you should pretend you don't know them, lower your head and walk away quickly. Remember that?"
"I've written it down, don't worry."
"If you meet an acquaintance on the way and you can't avoid them, just say that you are sending cattle to my uncle's family." Bai Jiaxuan warned again and again.
"I said, Young Master, you treat me like a piece of shit. Don't worry, I know the importance." Lu San found it a little funny.
"Okay, I won't sleep tonight, waiting for your letter."
"Okay, Young Master, I'll go and come back quickly." Lu San walked away with the chicken-feather letter in his arms.
Early the next morning.
News of the Jiaonong uprising spread quietly.
Lu Zilin and other Tian Fuxian were fooling around, but they didn't know about it right away.
When Sanguan Temple gathered again, and many people gathered there.
Tian Fuxian just got the news.
At this time, Tian Fuxian was still sleeping at the little widow's house.
Tian Fuxian has been living a good life recently.
The higher-ups asked us to collect three more carts of grain.
Tian Fuxian won't charge more than three and a half cars, I'm sorry for this errand.
Tian Fuxian was very comfortable every day, drinking a little wine, hugging the little widow, and living a happier life than the county magistrate.
Last night, the little widow served her well, but Tian Fuxian drank too much again.
"Quick, come! Quick, go to the Bai family, the He family, and the Ping family to block the door!" Tian Fuxian called people hurriedly.
But it's too late.
It's too late to do anything.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three gunshots were fired.
Who fired the gun?
Deer three.
Lu San returned to Bailu Village in the morning.
"Third brother, take the gun and wait near Sanguan Temple.
As long as there are dozens of people there, you can fire a gun. "Bai Jiaxuan was worried that Tian Fuxian would block the door again, so he simply asked Lu San to grab the gun and go directly outside.
"Okay, this time the gun can go off!"
Sanguan Temple.
Bai Jiaxuan is here.
He was the one who started it.
he came.
Tian Fuxian received the news too late and had no time to stop Bai Jiaxuan.
Not only Bai Jiaxuan came, but also the He family from Beiyuan and the Laoping family from Nanyuan.
Lu Zilin didn't come.
It was too late for him to hide from this kind of thing.
Zhou Qiang didn't come either.
Zhou Qiang lazily participated in this kind of thing.
He is resting at home.
The price of his wine has recently increased, sales have been low, and he is not so busy.
However, the money was not lost.
Bai Jiaxuan stood at the front and shouted: "Three gunshots, Jiao Nong is in trouble!"
"There is an uprising in Jiaonong!" everyone shouted.
Everyone took farm tools and ran towards the county seat.
On Bailuyuan, thousands of people gathered together and rushed to the county seat.
This time, everyone was holding a fire.
This fire will burn to the county seat.
Lu San fired the gun and ran over to follow.
Bai Jiaxuan is at the front.
There was no fear in his eyes.
"Brother-in-law, you must agree with me doing this, right?" Bai Jiaxuan thought of his brother-in-law, Mr. Zhu.
I remembered them breaking into the Qing army camp together.
Zishui County is not far away.
Not long after, everyone rushed to the county seat.
Under the city wall.
The crowd held up farm tools and shouted: "It's time to farm, no more farming!"
The city gate has been closed.
Bai Jiaxuan and others lifted up the thick wood and knocked it against the city wall gate.
After a few blows, it was knocked open.
Rush inside.
Inside is the urn city.
There is another door.
Everyone continued to bang on the door.
Knocked open a few times.
A wall was built in front.
Bai Jiaxuan was stunned for a moment and shouted: "Tear down the bricks and tear down the wall!"
Everyone rushed forward.
The wall was about to be torn down.
At this time, gongs sounded on the city wall.
A county master shouted: "The county magistrate salutes everyone.
County Magistrate Shi ordered that all the additional grain collected be invalidated.
Folks, please go back.
The extra grain harvested will be sent back to where it came from! "
Surprises fell from the sky.
Huge cheers erupted.
Bai Jiaxuan and several others were thrown up high.
The Jiaonong uprising was over.
No need to pay more food.
However, public rations must still be paid and cannot be exempted.
Ordinary people will not think about not paying public food.
As long as the people can survive, they will not cause trouble.
