Chapter 77 Is there such a good thing?
The mountains in southern Mi County.
Green vegetation is everywhere, and there are trails walked by hunters everywhere, and many small homemade traps can be found along the way.
Supporting the mountain and eating the mountain is used to the extreme here.
The mountains are big and the mountains are small.
After hundreds of years of 'development', there are almost no deadly wild animals in this mountain forest, except for snakes.
But also because of hundreds of years of 'development', this mountain forest cannot support tens of thousands of people taking refuge.
But because it’s mandatory by the government, it’s not okay if you don’t come.
The mobility of the old, young, women and children was not strong, and they could not carry much food when they entered the mountains, so most of the wild animals in the mountains had been captured long ago.
"Hey, I can't live here anymore!" An old man in his sixties couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the long queue of listless villagers.
He turned around and looked at his distant grandson, which meant he was lucky because he was not a local and his household registration was not here.
So when the government ordered him to enter the mountain, he took the household registration roll and let him pass.
Otherwise, his distant grandson, who came to seek refuge with him, would have been taken to Mi County to wait for the battlefield.
The old man looked at his distant grandson and couldn't help but ask: "Lishan, what is the situation outside now?"
Now he is the only refugee who knows the situation outside best.
The old man's question also made the people around him stop and look at Li Shan longingly.
Li Shan looked at the old man and said solemnly: "Second uncle, I'm not too sure about what's going on outside!"
"It's okay, just tell me what you know. Considering the huge formation in Mi County, it shouldn't be a small matter, right?" the old man continued to ask.
"Since my second uncle said so, let me tell you the news I know!" Li Shan nodded and agreed, paused for a moment, pretended to think, waited for a while, and then continued:
"Actually, it's very chaotic outside. Qin has basically lost control east of Hangu Pass. The most vocal one before was King Chen Sheng. But I heard that Chen Sheng was worried that Wu Guang would steal his limelight, so he acquiesced to his subordinates.
Killing Wu Guang resulted in the total destruction of Wu Guang's army, which was leading an army to attack Xingyang."
"The other generals who followed Chen Sheng were also worried that they would fall into the trap of Wu Guang, so they took advantage of the opportunity of the expedition and chose to establish themselves as kings, or to establish themselves as kings after the Six Kingdoms."
"However, a new force has appeared around Xingyang. It is said that these people were originally soldiers from the Xingyang Camp, but later they turned against me for some unknown reason, and then there was no news for several months. When I heard the news about them,
They have captured Aocang, and there will be more news about them later."
Alexander said bala bala.
Even though he said he didn't know much, this was a huge blow to these native villagers who lived in the village all year round and rarely even went to the county seat of Mi County.
'hiss……'
Lishan's second uncle and grandpa couldn't help but gasp.
He couldn't help but say: "A few years ago, when the county deployed corvees to transport food, I once visited Aocang. It was surrounded by trees and bushes, and there was only one straight road to go up. There seemed to be three or four thousand defenders, right? Rebellious.
How many soldiers do you need to take over there? Do they really give food to everyone who loses the election?"
"Of course I was given. In fact, I tried there before, but I happened to be unwell at the time and was not selected. They gave me food and let me go. I relied on these food to wander outside for more than a month, and I really had nowhere to go.
Go, I just came to join you, my second uncle and grandpa." Li Shan admitted.
"What now? Are they the ones outside?"
"That's right. Before I came here, I heard that they captured Xingyang again. You know, Chen Sheng led an army of more than 100,000 to besiege Xingyang for several months but failed to capture it. They captured it in a blink of an eye. And I heard that they
There are already nearly 200,000 troops, and they are all elites who have been trained for a long time." Li Shan said.
"What? Xingyang is also lost?" someone asked in surprise.
"I remember someone said before that this year's taxes should be paid to Xingyang, right?" the old man asked with confusion on his face.
If that's the case, that's terrible.
What is Aocang? A place specialized in storing grain.
Aocang was gone, so grain from various places began to be transported to Xingyang. The taxes that were due this year were barely paid and the tasks assigned by the imperial court were completed.
But now that Xingyang is lost, doesn't that mean that all the food in Aocang and Xingyang is in their hands?
"It's lost, I'm sure of that, but I seemed to have heard rumors before that they were planning to replace the land in the hands of the powerful and then redistribute it to the people." Li Shan glanced at everyone inadvertently.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at me and you, a little confused.
In the end, it was my second uncle who spoke up and said: "What we lack now is not land. Who hasn't planted endless land? Who hasn't sold some land when they can't pay the rent? What we lack is people! Young Zhuang
Everything has been taken away, and now I can’t even plant any land!”
"Second uncle and grandpa, if you can think of it, how can others not think of it?" Li Shan looked at everyone. Although he was not sure, it was mentioned above, so he had to say so.
"I wasn't chosen, people told me!" Li Shan imitated the recruitment scene that day. Although he was imitating others, who would know if he didn't say it?
"We won't want people like you. This is good for us and good for you. If we want you, your physique won't be able to go to the battlefield, so we need to keep you in vain. If
If I send you to the battlefield, there is a high probability that you will die, so this is of no benefit to you. You might as well go home and wait. We will have a new policy soon. Even if you go home, you will still
There is a way out."
"What's the way to make a living? Is it to divide the fields?" The second uncle and grandpa were stunned for a moment, what kind of way is this?
Li Shan sighed and said: "It's a human being! Think about it, people like me don't even want soldiers, they just let me go home to farm. And I also heard that they plan to add a law
The law stipulates that each person must not be drafted for more than twenty days each year, and it must be during the off-season. If the draft exceeds the service period, it seems that how much money or food will be given for each extra day. I don’t know the details. I heard
Zhang Han's army has arrived, and this matter has been put on hold for the time being. We cannot continue to discuss and decide until the battle is over."
"There is such a good thing???" The second uncle and grandpa looked confused. He felt it was a bit unbelievable. It was impossible, okay?
"It's been widely spread outside now, it should be true!"
Li Shan found that the effect seemed to be good, but felt that it was a bit unsatisfying, so he planned to add more fuel to the fire and continued:
Chapter completed!
