Time flies, and May has passed.
Zhang Shengye is married and has three beautiful wives.
Really envious of others.
However, Zhang Sheng did not just sit back and enjoy the blessings of his family. Instead, he took three beauties and found a treasure land. He opened mountains and cultivated the land, diverted water to irrigate the fields, and built houses. He really looked like a seclusion in the world and ignored other people's business. .
Occasionally, when I entered the city, the people in the city saw that Zhang Sheng was getting richer and richer, so they couldn't help asking.
Zhang Sheng did not hide anything, and told everyone about the treasure land he cultivated and cultivated by himself.
Not long after, many more relocated households appeared deep in the barren mountains.
Most of them are miserable people living in the city who cannot stand the exploitation of bureaucrats and landlords.
During the four hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, even if the king was wise and the high officials in the court were all capable ministers, it was inevitable that officials and gentry had already become one in the local areas. The ways for ordinary people to make money and live a life were getting narrower and narrower. No matter what you do, you must first be helped by those who have nothing to do and are mediocre and incompetent, relying on their power and shelter.
Being able to find a barren mountain, build your own village, and be slightly hidden from control is already a rare thing for many people.
As for the lack of city walls to protect, the prosperous temples of Zhengshen, and the government offices and officials blessed by the luck of the dynasty to look after them, will evil spirits invade the mountain villages and wreak havoc on their lives?
As everyone knows! Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger!
When Zhang Sheng saw more and more people coming to seek refuge, he did not hesitate to drive them away.
Instead, they allocate fertile land according to head count, lead the young men to continue to cultivate mountains and cultivate land, teach young men martial arts, and practice sticks day and night for hunting and village protection.
After such development, about half a year later, the small mountain village expanded several times in a short period of time and already reached a large scale.
Zhang Sheng led the villagers to build various utensils that were beneficial to farming and life.
While greatly saving labor time and cost, it also improves various production capacities as much as possible on the original basis.
In just half a year, those who were originally poor and had nothing became slightly rich.
At least some people had enough to eat, and sometimes they could still see some meat.
Such meritorious deeds made Zhang Sheng deeply loved, and his status in the small mountain village was irreplaceable.
One night, his wife Jun Ruomei said to Zhang Sheng: "Although there is no owner in the barren mountain, there is no royal land in the world. Why don't you take some money to manage the officials, so that you can take over all this land with a radius of a hundred miles? It’s so reassuring.”
Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "This is not my land, so how can I buy it with my own money?"
"If word gets out, others will just think that I, Zhang Sheng, am deceiving them and occupying their houses and fields. If I don't take any money and directly give it away, it will create discord among the neighbors and develop a lazy and undisciplined mind."
"Let's put this matter aside for now!"
The dragon girl had no choice but to leave and go find the daughter of Lord Binling to discuss the matter.
After the dragon girl left, Zhang Sheng took out the "Farming Sutra" from his arms.
The first three chapters of this kind of field scripture all focus on how to farm, how to nourish the people, how to enrich the people, how to live on the people's wealth, and how to nourish one's own long-term energy.
Only the last article, "Human Wrath," talks about how to recruit soldiers for war, how to inspire people's beliefs, truly enforce orders and prohibitions, and sacrifice one's life.
"Everyone who has no owner, although he is not willing to be mediocre, is limited to a small area, and can only survive by stealing. Anyone who has one is mostly a carnivore, and in order to maintain his success, it is inevitable to be cunning and unpredictable. Only when there is something, then there is nothing, there is something Only by advancing without retreat can we arouse their anger and determine their nature, so that the people's support can be used and their will to fight will be endless." Zhang Sheng looked at these words and was silent for a long time.
This sentence seems very abrupt in the entire "Farming Classic".
Fortunately, he is a modern man with a broader mind, so he can decipher the charm.
People can endure poverty and having nothing, even if they are unwilling to do so, but because they have never gained anything or had hope, they will not fall into greater despair.
People can also enjoy the benefits brought by wealth, and in order to maintain this wealth, they do many despicable things and gradually destroy their conscience.
But people can't bear it. After having it, they will inevitably lose it completely.
In order to get back their share of wealth, they are willing to make any sacrifices.
This is the first paragraph of the Human Anger Chapter of "The Farming Sutra", and it is also the most simple and basic paragraph.
Some things will be analyzed so coldly that they are almost cruel.
However, it is impossible to have absolute faith in everything from the beginning.
That has no basis.
Ordinary people who don't know a few Chinese characters won't listen.
Compared with the so-called belief, it is better to directly give them a misty belief...
This will inevitably lead to being involved in things like white lotus, no life, and smelling fragrance, like an endless cycle.
After March, it rained heavily and continued for seven days.
The land between the two lakes is already a vast land.
Occasionally, water monsters take advantage of this natural disaster to cause trouble and become so rampant.
Because the terrain of Zhang Sheng's small mountain village is relatively high and there are a large number of woods to consolidate the mountain soil, no large-scale mudslides have occurred, destroying farmland and houses.
Although there was a loss, it was not much.
But the people at the foot of the mountain all suffered a great disaster.
Not only was a year of farming wasted, fertile farmland was washed away and homes were flooded.
Even the little extravagant wealth was taken away by local gentry in collusion with the government and taking advantage of the situation.
Ordinary people suffered, and so did the landlords and gentry.
The difference is that the landlords and gentry who suffered the disaster can choose to collude with corrupt officials and pass the losses on to the people.
As for whether it will cause mutiny and force the people to rebel?
These people are not unexpected, but they are jealous of the benefits and forget the dangers.
Returning to Wudang Mountain again, Cao Zhe, who had been living in a lodge for several months, looked at the big net of sentient beings in his palm with a gloomy and terrifying expression.
At this time, this net has covered the two lakes, and will cover more places in the future as Cao Zhe follows his footsteps.
"Has it started yet?"
"When the false dragon takes over the world, it always needs a suitable opportunity."
"A flood disaster, and then the local corrupt officials, gentry and landlords act recklessly as a reference. With a little brewing, riots are about to break out!"
"Just because of this, how many innocent people will be displaced, and how many people will die in this chaos?"
"Heaven wants to show its majesty without caring about the life and death of the people."
"If this is the case, why should the common people be afraid of heaven?" Cao Zhe thought in his mind and plucked the threads on his fingertips.
In a moment, some landlords and gentry who were originally greedy and cruel suddenly came to their senses because of a certain opportunity.
Although they did not spend all their wealth to relieve the victims, they still used part of the stored grain to relieve the victims.
Not only that, some people also opened medicine shops to provide medical treatment for the people. Some people organized rural warriors and began to find ways to drain floods and relieve waterlogging.
Those active competitors in this land!
Unbeknownst to them, they spontaneously became Cao Zhe's 'chess pieces'.
In their view, this is an excellent opportunity to improve their evaluation. It is more likely that because of their outstanding performance, they will be valued by some outsiders and accepted as disciples to start the path of spiritual practice.
Compared with ordinary people, they have very obvious advantages.
They all come from the era of information explosion. Even ordinary people have rich knowledge and insights.
After experiencing some events, and with the help of some aborigines who were familiar with the geographical environment and local details, these competitors also burst out with extraordinary vitality.
Through their own methods and methods, they are mitigating the disaster one by one.
Although it is still devastated, many people see hope of survival in this disaster.
The fire of unity is silently resisting the flood pouring down from the Nine Heavens Galaxy.
