"Hahaha!" Wei Jinyong laughed wildly after hearing Su Wen's words, stretched out his hand and patted Su Wen's shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Daqiang, you know the current affairs!"
Su Wen also smiled.
After leaving Jiashan County, continue to march towards the interior of Lizhou.
Along the way, Su Wen knew for the first time what it means to starve and die everywhere.
There are skeletons without flesh and blood on the side of the road.
There was a rancid smell everywhere.
But what shocked Su Wen was that in many farmlands, some people had already started preparing the ridges for spring plowing.
It can even be said that along the way, there are very few fields that are not plowed!
Beside these fields, many well-dressed men patrolled on horseback with swords across their shoulders.
"Why is this field being cultivated?" Su Wen couldn't help asking. In his opinion, this was completely unreasonable.
Wei Jinyong sneered and said, "The common people have no rations, so they can only sell their fields and land, because apart from the fields, they can only sell themselves, even real estate, and they can't sell it at all in Lizhou!"
"How much is an acre of fertile land during a famine? Eighty renminbi! Only 80 renminbi! If there is too much, no one will buy it! How much does a catty of grain cost? Forty renminbi! It's still old grain mixed with wheat bran! Should I buy it? One mu of land can only buy two catties of grain! Ordinary people sell all their land, how long can they last? Young and strong sell themselves as slaves, even for no money, just want to give one person rations, old and young, women and children, just want If you sell it, no one will buy it!"
"After the famine, these young and strong, the fields will be all owned by these rich and powerful families! Naturally, they must cultivate well!"
"Even the properties of the common people, after escaping from the famine, are all deserted. If you use any means, it is still theirs, and everything is theirs."
Su Wen felt chills from the bottom of his heart. He has always believed that as long as rich people do not break the law, they should be rich.
But now, do the means of these wealthy and famous families violate the law? At least it does not violate the laws of the Great Zhou!
But this method is simply outrageous!
When he got here, Su Wen finally understood why the disaster in Lizhou couldn't be stopped
These rich and powerful families are probably the biggest curse.
Disaster relief officials were killed!
Why was it killed
Because they don't want the disaster to be stopped!
Disasters continue, and only a small amount of low-quality grain can be used to annex land and buy young and strong.
Su Wen frowned, what role did the local government play in it
The disaster relief officials died, but the food should still be there. How could it be stolen by the mob
What's more, are those mobs civilians
Majia, one token can be tax-free and inspection-free!
Then what is the relationship between these families and these martial arts sects
"It's time to kill!" For the first time, Su Wen couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and the killing intent rose in his heart.
Wei Jinyong laughed loudly: "Hahaha! These bastards should be killed of course! What a pity, who can kill them? This is the way of the world! The law of the jungle preys on the strong."
When it came to the last sentence, his eyes dimmed, and his voice lowered, almost only he could hear: "No one can change."
A group of people marched mightily to the depths of Lizhou.
On the other side, Xue Wanjun and others had already arrived in Lizhou.
They are in Jiashan City.
They didn't know that Su Wen had gone deep into Lizhou one step ahead of them.
In the post house, Xue Wanjun was a little impatient.
"Why hasn't this Su Wen come here? How many days have passed, even if you are climbing, you should come here!"
Ruan Ze said helplessly: "I'm afraid that this Young Master Su will really be happy in some gentle town! Otherwise, if he comes to Lizhou, he will definitely come to the government to inquire about our tracks."
Xue Wanjun gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will punish him for his crime?"
Ruan Ze looked at him like an idiot, and sighed, "Punish? Believe it or not, we won't punish him if we go back and be punished!"
"I... ."
Xue Wanjun was speechless, thinking about his nephew, it might be possible!
He felt extremely aggrieved.
"What is this called! You said that the chief called for him to sharpen himself and fight against powerful enemies. Now it's good! The others are gone! Are you going to do the mission of destroying the Moon Worship Sect?"
Xue Wanjun's face was full of sadness.
Ruan Ze smiled wryly and said, "I know whether to do it or not? We're going to destroy it now. After we go back, the director will definitely not like it, but if we don't do it, if the other teams complete the task, can you and I still be able to bear it? What about your majesty?" I can't explain it! And this Moon Worship Sect has weird behaviors, if we don't hurry up, how can we destroy them if we can't catch their traces temporarily?"
Xue Wanjun suddenly thought of a possibility: "This guy won't die halfway, right?"
Ruan Ze's face was full of fat, and he shook his head, "You better not expect this kind of thing to happen, otherwise, it's unknown whether we can save our lives!"
"Then what should we do!" Xue Wanjun was a little mad.
Ruan Ze said: "Let's send people to find out the traces of the Moon Worship Sect first. After a while, we will pay attention to the completion of other groups' tasks. If the young master really doesn't come, we will have to do it. It's great to leave some remnants for us." This Young Master Su is good at practicing!"
Xue Wanjun gritted his teeth tightly, and said aggrievedly: "Are we two nurses for this guy? We have to prepare everything for him?"
"Hehe, it's not the same. If you don't want to displease the master and His Majesty, you can honestly be a nanny to this."
"Why... ."
The two sighed at the same time, expressing how helpless they were!
In the imperial capital, Su Wen left.
According to what Su Wen said, Xie Yiyi contacted Xie Bingrui.
Finally, the two met in a teahouse in the imperial capital.
When mother and daughter meet, they are not affectionate.
Xie Yiyi said calmly: "Mother, I have controlled Su Wen, what should I do next?"
"Really?!" Xie Bingrui's eyes were full of joy. She pondered for a while and said: "Then think of a way, let Su Wen persuade Su Changqing to use the power of the court to attack Taihao Palace! It's best to kill this group of bulls! In addition, I also want the land of Taicang Mountain! Got it! The land can be mined, and the income of our Magic Sound Sect can skyrocket!"
"That's all?" Xie Yiyi asked.
Xie Bingrui nodded and said: "That's all for the time being! I'll tell you when I think it over. You should do these two things first."
"Can't do it..."
Xie Bingrui frowned: "Why?"
She thought it was Xie Yiyi who had something on her mind, and was quite displeased.
Xie Yiyi said: "Su Wen is out on business, I don't know when he will be back."
Xie Bingrui: "...."
Didn't you say it earlier? ! She couldn't help but complain about her own daughter!
"Why did he go? When can he come back?"
Xie Yiyi shook her head and said: "They said they were going to destroy the Moon Worship Sect, when will they come back, should they come back after they are destroyed?"
Just thinking about it, Xie Bingrui suddenly stood up and looked towards the corner of the street!
An old Taoist priest stood there.
Xie Bingrui flew out in a flash, his body shot violently, the old Taoist didn't care about Xie Yiyi, he ran directly to Xie Bingrui and chased after him!
