Chapter 17 Fighting the World with the King

In the morning, at the Si hour.

I just passed the morning meal, it was neither lukewarm nor hot, and it was the most comfortable time of the day.

The autumn is clear and the air is cool, and I look at the flying geese in the south.

A large group of people appeared in the fields of Yunmeng City, swaying towards Liguo.

The armor is bright and the spear is like a forest.

People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and the king's flag is flying.

The farmers working in the nearby fields knelt down in front of the team and did not dare to look up.

Their clothes were torn and old, their heads were gray, and their wrinkled faces had no expression, like a piece of hard and rusty iron.

There was no fear, envy and other emotions in the turbid old eyes, only dullness and peace caused by despair, like a pool of silent stagnant water.

Those who are about to run have already run away.

As slaves, they were so great that they had nowhere to live.

A little boy looked at the dusty road with his fingers in his arms.

He was very thin, not wearing shoes, and his clear big eyes were shining with curiosity.

The adult was frightened and quickly pressed his little head.

I accidentally angered the official and said I would kill him. It was not a joke.

There are hundreds of flowers killing in autumn, and the plants wither, and the harvested fields seem particularly desolate and deserted.

The water in the fields has long dried up, and the golden rice stubble is shriveled and gray.

A row of cotton quilts were picked cleanly. From a distance, the gray and black cotton stems rose up from the ground like dark clouds with fangs and claws.

A group of people are busy far away from the road. Some tie sorghum poles, some pull cotton stems with their hands, and some use snails to slim the dead grass, which makes the fields look a little angry.

In fact, these things are not easy to burn, they are very fluffy and have no firepower.

Further afield, there were a few people ploughing into the ground, as if they were digging out sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts and other things.

The children dragged bamboo baskets and occasionally jumped up and screamed in surprise. It was probably because they dug out a big guy.

"Who are they?" Chu Fan pointed to the field.

Liu Ruofei replied:

"After the landlord collected the rent for this year, they ran almost the same, leaving only the poor and slaves. In fact, I did not forbid them to leave. But the poor could not live if they left a few acres of thin land, and the slaves did not dare to leave without the orders of their masters..."

Chu Fan raised his palm to stop Liu Ruofei's explanation and said:

"Since you have received the blessings of the land and received the support of slaves, you should assume the corresponding responsibility. The escaped masters are not worthy of owning these acres and slaves."

Liu Ruofei said in surprise:

"Ruofei had thought about it long ago, just like Brother Fan. He would recruit these slaves to the army and reward them with military merits. The country would pay for their lives and pardon them for being civilians..."

"No, the revolution is not a treat to a meal... Such a move has no power and cannot be supported by finance. I think that if you take the land directly into nationalization and pardon slaves, don't pay the money to their vampire masters."

Revolution? Liu Ruofei is not surprised by the occasional new words that appear on Chu Fan. After thinking for a while, he firmly said: "Okay."

Chu Fan was happy and asked with a smile:

"Aren't you afraid? In this case, not only will Li Kingdom attack us, but all the kingdoms in the world will unite to attack us. Because you moved their cheese and turned the natural monarchy into natural civil rights, and the world is for the public..."

Liu Ruofei's cheeks gradually turned red and she said with a slight slight:

"Anyway, one fights, and the other fights too. It's better to fight a lot... There is cheese in the north, and there is only fish frozen in the south... If you are there, people are not afraid..."

Seeing her face turned red, Chu Fan suddenly changed his style as he spoke, answering the question, his voice was faint and weak, and asked in surprise:

"What's wrong with you?"

"Ah, no, nothing. The left and right are dead, so it's better to go all out and fight... Brother Fan just said, "We, our... Ruofei is willing to accompany you to fight the world, and he is not afraid of breaking his bones."

"Yes, it's us, aren't they still... Oh, look at what you are talking nonsense, fighting the world? What kind of world is fighting! They crushed us to death with a finger. I don't know what the national teacher looks like."

Liu Ruofei didn't say anything, gave him a cold look, turned her head and snorted, "Damn melon!"

Chu Fan was puzzled, afraid that she wouldn't figure it out, and added:

"I mean, don't be too hasty. For example, when collecting fields and sheltering the Nu, you have to pick soft persimmons and not move the great gentry for now. Don't stew it in a pot, otherwise it will trigger a strong backlash... By the way, public opinion propaganda must be ahead. Han Shan, who wrote "White Deer Cave Collection", proposed that "the people are noble and the king is gentle" and he can be invited to Yunmeng to give lectures..."

Liu Ruofei came to her senses and replied:

"Han Gong is a great scholar in the world. Yunmeng is too small and it is a matter of trouble. I'm afraid I can't help it."

"You may not be able to invite me in normal times, but scholars value integrity the most. This time, I will definitely come. Yunmeng is in danger, and everyone knows it. If you don't come, everyone will think that he is afraid, which will cause great harm to reputation. Even if Han Shan jumps to scold his mother after receiving the invitation, he will be helpless... There is a saying that you must use all the power you can use...

"Ruofei, even if you take the banner of pacifying the world, it will not have any impact on the current situation, because no one believes it. But the matter of collecting land and pardoning the slaves will not be promoted. Otherwise, we will really be enemies with the world, and we will not be able to defeat them at the moment...

"Also, the officials and wealthy families in the city who must leave are just let go, as it is a disaster to keep them. However, the transfer of property must be subject to heavy taxes. Humph, they have earned wealth in Yunmeng and wanted to sweep away gold and silver in times of danger. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world..."

Liu Ruofei covered her mouth and giggled, saying:

"The memorial that Prime Minister Gao gave yesterday is similar to what Brother Fan said..."

"That old guy is still a little capable, Li Su's father is much more old-fashioned... He must use heavy punishment in troubled times, and once he gives in, he will be torn to pieces... Of course, it depends on what the situation is, and it can be done. Short-term goals and long-term goals are broken down one by one, and implemented step by step...

"Winter is coming soon, and guerrillas are dispatched to sweep away the bandits outside the city, so that the farmers can have a peaceful year. Yunmengze has flooded in spring, and spring plowing must be deployed earlier. Seeds are very important, so don't eat them for the sake of winter. In addition, I hope that the elders outside the city can have fire, clothes, and food to eat... You see, those children don't have shoes. Is it difficult to do it?"

"It's not difficult, Ruofei had already made arrangements. Brother Fan, you have a lot of things to do today."

"Hehe, I don't know what's wrong, today is a bit verbose."

"Hehe, I'm very happy."

...

On the road, there were thirty soldiers in front and behind each other, guarding the center of the guards, a very grand double-horse cart and two gorgeous single-shaft carts.

About a mile away from the rear of the team, an ordinary car followed slowly, with a knight guard on both sides.

After the car, there were more than half a mile away. There were a group of strange people, a total of thirteen.

Ten men and three women ride horses, and they are dressed in all kinds of clothes.

Some are dressed as businessmen, some are dressed as Taoists, some are dressed as young men, some are dressed as milfs, some are girls and hairpins, some are hanging on the waist, and some are pressing the jade flute with their hands...

They seemed to have some tacit understanding between each other, and were full of vigilance, and the distance between each two was not close to one meter.

The most tragic thing is the face.

No matter what expressions of laughter, anger and scolding, they remain stiff and motionless.

That's - the mask.

It is difficult for a group of passengers wearing masks and carrying weapons without luggage to avoid bad associations.

"Lawless!"

Liu Ruofei's eyes are filled with evil spirits.

She rode a snow-white mare and stood a small mountain pass more than three miles away from the city. The scholar beside her rode a dark horse with a look of nonchalant appearance, wearing cotton clothes. Under the shade of a tree more than ten meters away, two girls carrying long swords were looking around vigilantly.

Chu Fan smiled and said:

"They do not have the strength or courage to show their faces, nor do they have the qualifications to show their faces..."

After waking up, ten days passed. Chu Fan and Liu Ruofei discussed formations and studied spells, and their strength increased greatly. I believe that they would dare to fight head-on when they met Bai Wuchang.

He could see magic weapons and the flow of magic power in the magic circle, and complex things suddenly became very simple.

Liu Ruofei is already talented and knowledgeable. With his guidance, she suddenly realized her enlightenment and made rapid progress.

Although her realm is only middle grade of Ninggang, she cleverly upgraded the magic array of Yunmeng Inner Palace to a higher level. Even if the monks who consecrated the upper realm attempt to enter quietly, it would be impossible.

Liu Yatou was once ambitious and wanted to set up the entire Yunmeng Royal City into the world's largest killing formation...
