Yang Ming blinked his eyes, rubbed the back of his head that was injured again, and stared blankly at the old Taoist who was calmly applying herbs to Xiao Cui's new wound.
What is this operation?
"Hey! Old man! Don't you want to explain? Xiaocui fought for a quarter of an hour with her life, and you just got up and lit firecrackers to set it off?"
The wounds left on the girl's body were indeed unsightly, and the old man also blamed himself at this time.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord! The poor Taoist does not kill any living thing!"
"You've been holding it in for a long time, and you just said this?
Wouldn't you send out the cloud-penetrating arrows in advance? Are you jealous of how cute this girl Xiaocui is, so you deliberately gave her more stab wounds? "
Which pot is not to be opened?
The veteran discovered that some things are innate and have nothing to do with experience!
The old Taoist who had not picked up a sword for decades was now said to be ashamed by Yang Ming. I have the impulse of my youth to eradicate all the bandits in Heimuzhai in Wanshen Valley who make a living by robbing people!
But, he couldn't do it!
It has nothing to do with ability or martial arts, but the current situation in the government is in turmoil, the local government is in turmoil, and the people are in the midst of natural and man-made disasters!
In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were disaster victims everywhere and there was a lack of food and clothing. No army could shoulder the heavy task of wiping out the Black Wood Village in the Valley of the Gods!
The local army in Lu County is not good! Neither can Baihu Village!
Firstly, Heimuzhai is built on the mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. Heimuzhai has been in operation for more than ten years, and there are hundreds of strong bandits in the village. If we attack by force, it will not only take a long time and consume a lot of materials, but also the loss of soldiers and horses will be inevitable!
Secondly, Heimuzhai not only robs wealth, but also arrests refugees everywhere!
Heimuzhai is now huge, and there are many refugees trapped in the mountains working there. What's even stranger is that many refugees take the initiative to work as coolies in Heimuzhai in order to survive and have food to eat.
Therefore, it is not impossible to destroy the Black Wood Village in the Ten Thousand Gods Valley.
But the cost after the annihilation was too much, and currently none of the forces involved can afford it! Not only was it time-consuming and labor-intensive, and troops and generals were lost, but they also had to feed the hundreds of refugees left in Heimuzhai.
Yang Ming didn't have such concerns. It wasn't that he didn't think carefully, or that he didn't think long-term, but that this guy always thought that he still had a chance to return to the imperial capital!
Just like the kind of person who knows he is dreaming, he is never afraid of how bad things will be! Anyway, just pat your butt and leave afterward!
The old Taoist was dejected, his back turned to Yang Ming, his tall and majestic figure resembled a worldly master.
"You don't understand! Now the emperor is wise, broad-minded, strategic and politically capable. After he ascended the throne, he made great efforts to rectify the political agenda. He humbly accepted the suggestions of the ministers, encouraged farmers and mulberry trees, and practiced economy.
But God is not kind and seems not to approve of what the Holy One has done! There was a locust plague in Henan, a drought in Hedong, and floods in the Yellow and Huaihe rivers.
Natural and man-made disasters in various places, as well as several wars between Tubo, Turks, and Goryeo, left the Tang treasury empty and unable to provide disaster relief to the people. . . "
Yang Ming couldn't help but secretly lamented that it was rare to meet an experienced doctor who was proficient in medical skills, but he didn't expect that he was also an actor! So he stretched out his right palm, waved his hand and said:
"Stop, stop, stop! Old man, you're going too far!
We are just a crumbling family now. Although life will not be easy in the future, the foundation left by our ancestors can still help the people of Lu County.
Here, let me get to know you! As long as you can always do harm to the people and eradicate these bandits, I, Hongnong Yang, are willing to bear all the food supplies in Lu County in the future! "
Want to show off your acting skills with me? Then let's see how I fool you! A common man dares to talk to me about the country and the country, but he always worries about the country and the people!
The method of drawing big cakes is still your ancestor. What a ridiculous statement, but I just want money and food. When I return to the imperial capital, let the Hongnong Yang family wipe my ass!
The old Taoist didn't know what Yang Ming was thinking, but when he heard that Yang Ming dared to speak so boldly, he must have some way to deal with the disaster.
Yang Ming's promise made the old Taoist feel moved. The ancients still kept their promises because they were afraid of the gods.
"Are you serious?! I don't need you, the Hongnong Yang family, to bear the supply of food and grass for the entire Lu County. I only need to properly settle the refugees in Heimuzhai after the war and the expenses of this bandit suppression operation!"
