byLin Xiaotang: "..."
It doesn't have to be so straightforward.
But when he confirmed again and again that Lin Xiaotang was not lying, but seriously wanted to be a bandit leader, Mr. Li finally let go of his vigilance.
However, although he didn't say anything, his gaze towards Lin Xiaotang became rather strange.
In more detail, it's like looking at someone who is stupid and has a lot of money.
Lin Xiaotang: "..."
However, although Mr. Li has a strange attitude, he is quite useful in introducing the situation of Hulu Mountain.
Through Mr. Li, Lin Xiaotang quickly knew how this group of "bandits" appeared.
They were originally villagers in a village at the foot of Hulu Mountain, but the local government and miscellaneous taxes were harsh, and they happened to encounter a drought and had no harvest.
When the county magistrate's son beat the villagers to death and forcibly took away the women in the village, their situation became even more embarrassing.
Mr. Li is a scholar. Because his family was poor, he did not continue to study, but set up a school near the village to teach the students in the village to read.
It was he who, when the resentment of the villagers deepened, offered to let them be bandits on the mountain to avoid taxation.
Compared with the ignorant villagers, Mr. Li, who has read books, is smarter.
Today's world is not peaceful, internal and external troubles, bandits and bandits emerge in endlessly.
For robbers like them who are simply trying to make money and don't hurt people's lives, as long as there is no major incident, the court mostly turns a blind eye.
As for the local county magistrate, in order to obtain top grades in the performance appraisal, he would only hide the affairs of Hulu Village to the death, and would not send troops to deal with them at all.
"I know it's wrong to do this, but this year's harvest is really too small, and two children in the village starved to death," said Mr. Li, a little helpless, "If they go up the mountain, they may only survive a few days at most. In the next year, they will be wiped out, but if they don't go up the mountain, they won't survive this year."
His rhetoric was intentional to sell miserably, but Lin Xiaotang still listened to it.
She could feel that this Mr. Li was a very kind person.
A scholar, as long as he has the heart to mess around, he can't have a miserable life, especially a teacher like him who has run a school.
But in order to help these villagers tide over the difficulties, Mr. Li gave up his comfortable life and took the initiative to run up the mountain.
Moreover, being able to make such a suggestion shows that he is not a foolish and loyal person, but rather has the courage.
It's just that it is not an easy thing to raise this group of people, but also to raise them up.
"Mother, what should I do..."
Looking at this desolate place, Lin Yiyi couldn't help asking in a low voice.
When she just heard that her mother was going to rob the stockade, she was still very excited, thinking that her mother was going to do something big.
As a result, these people's houses look more shabby than their small home?
"Don't worry," Lin Xiaotang was much calmer than her daughter. "Let's continue to do what you do."
Lin Xiaotang didn't want to use her special ability to bully these ordinary people.
In the previous worlds, she has also been working hard to use the knowledge she has learned to deal with the enemy.
However, it now seems that her terrifying ability has finally been used.
"Old business?"
Hearing what Lin Xiaotang said, Li Xiucai showed a confused look: "Miss Lin, aren't you going to let us continue to be bandits?"
"Of course." Lin Xiaotang said.
It is boring to be a bandit, and it is easy to be targeted by the court at first sight. If the cause is big, 80% of them will be sent to destroy it.
If you want to do it, it is better to do something obscure and make it difficult for others to notice.
"Then what do you want to do?" Li Xiucai quickly asked when he noticed something was wrong.
Lin Xiaotang smiled slightly: "Build a religion."
...
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, three years have passed.
In the past three years, the drought has not been relieved, the treasury is still empty, and wars have broken out in the border areas from time to time.
Some civil uprising organizations emerged one after another, and they were suppressed by the imperial court one after another.
Compared with the turbulent north, the southern regions are generally much more comfortable.
In these days, a sect called "Tanghua Sect" quietly spread among the people at the bottom.
The origin of this sect is unknown, but it is said to be a group of desperate poor people who dreamed of a hell scene during a sleep.
And when they were frightened by those frightening scenes, the goddess of Tanghua Sect appeared.
The goddess came down from the sky, drove away the darkness, drove away the fear, and saved them from hell.
She told those poor people that as long as they believed in her and became a member of Tanghua Sect, they could get food and knowledge.
In the face of such a strange dream, those poor people chose to join Tanghua Sect without hesitation.
But when they woke up one after another and came to the Holy Land of Tanghua Sect according to the guidance of the goddess in the dream, they actually saw a woman who looked exactly like the goddess and got the food she gave!
The woman said that she is a believer of the goddess, the messenger of the goddess in the mortal world, and the saintess of the Tanghua religion.
As long as their hearts are pious enough, after seven days, she will give them a crop called "potatoes" and teach them how to grow and nurture them.
And this kind of crops can easily reach the output of 1000 kilograms per mu, enough to feed their family.
"We don't need you to provide money and sacrifices, as long as you sincerely believe in the goddess," said the saint. "What the goddess needs are believers who truly love her."
The saint also said that the goddess doesn't care about her reputation, she only wants to let people who have a fate know her existence.
Therefore, once they joined the Tanghua Sect, they could not tell outsiders about the existence of the sect, otherwise, it would attract the wrath of the goddess and take back everything she had given.
