Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 80
After hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing.

"Oh? Don't kill people, so you bandits are just?"

"Do you know where the silver that your Black Village gets from Jiawu every year comes from?"

"It's all the hard-earned money of the common people, saved bit by bit. In times of disaster, they need those savings to buy food to survive!"

"You make them lose their money, let them starve to death, what's the difference between killing them and killing them?"

Yan Li was once again speechless by Qin Feng, he just snorted coldly, and simply picked up the ax to find a tree and chopped it down.

Unable to beat Qin Feng, he could only use his strength on the tree to vent his dissatisfaction.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Qin Feng struck while the iron was hot, changed his tone, and continued: "Of course, life is hard. Although you do a lot of evil, the root cause of the people's suffering is not just a few bandits."

Yan Li worked in a muffled voice, but his ears were not idle. Hearing Qin Feng's words, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

What does the dog official mean?
Why did you open it up for them?

No, you can't listen, you can't listen to a word of these dog officials, there must be a trick!

Thinking of this in his heart, Yan Li curled up a disdainful expression, and continued to swing the ax sullenly.

Qin Feng saw his appearance, but he didn't care much, and continued.

"Do you know where the root cause is? The root cause is too low productivity and too little food."

Qin Feng didn't need him to answer, but gave the answer on his own.

Yan Li didn't intend to listen to Qin Feng's words, but he couldn't close his ears, the words just passed by his ears, and he could hear it no matter what he wanted.

When he heard that the problem was lack of food, he couldn't help retorting: "Lack of food? The imperial court collected heavy taxes every year, and the gentry and landlords also oppressed the people. They took away the food! Take back the food, there is not a lot of it!" "

"Hey, then you are wrong."

"The court collects taxes to raise soldiers. If a country doesn't have an army, it will definitely suffer from wars. Do you feel good about being a bandit and living with your head stuck to your trouser belt all day long?"

"Being a soldier is the same, even worse. Being a bandit is afraid of death, and you can still run away and find a place to hide to live. If you dare to escape as a soldier, it is a capital offense!"

"Without soldiers, it is absolutely impossible. As the saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different. If a foreign race invades our Great Zhou, how many people do you think can survive under the swords of foreign cavalry?"

"What they want is not people, but our vast territory, land! Resources!"

"So, the court's tax payment, especially the grain tax, regardless of whether the emperor is stupid or not, is at least logically necessary."

As Qin Feng said, he looked at Yan Li's expression and found that the corners of Yan Li's eyebrows twitched, obviously touched.

It seemed that the conversation had some effect, so I continued.

"Let's talk about the squires and landlords. They seized a lot of food. This is a fact. Take my Ninghai County as an example. Ten to ten percent of the land in Ninghai County is now owned by the squires. But is this a rule of the court? Huh?"

Qin Feng shook his head, gave a thumbs up and said: "When I established the country in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I already distributed the land to farmers according to their heads. Only farmers are required to pay part of the grain tax."

"This land was originally decided by the farmers themselves."

"But why did it become like this in the end? Let me tell you, it was when there was no harvest in the disaster year, and the people didn't have enough to eat, so they had to borrow money from the squires. The squires demanded high interest, and the farmers couldn't afford it. Use the land to pay off the debt."

"Of course, the imperial court will release food for disaster relief in disaster years. Officials in some places have black hearts and embezzle all the disaster relief food funds for private use. This is also a reason. But aside from this point, is it true that as long as people have food in their homes in disaster years? So you won't be hungry, and you don't have to ask those squires for help?"

"That way the land is still yours. You only need to pay the grain tax. In one portal, as long as there is one laborer, you can feed three to five people with ease."

"Yan Li, let me ask you, did you have the same situation in your hometown before you became a bandit?"

"So what?"

Yan Li gritted his teeth, chopped down the tree viciously, and slandered in a low voice: "Hmph, it's as if you can get the land back for the common people."

Qin Feng is happy, that's right, as long as Yan Li is willing to talk, everything will be fine.

He shook his head and sighed: "Although the official really hopes to get the land back for the farmers, the loan relationship between these gentry and the farmers does not violate the laws of the Great Zhou. Since it is legal, what reason does the official have?" To ask for it for them?"

"Then what's the use of talking about it? Isn't it because I can't do anything, so I want to go to the mountains to become a bandit? Otherwise... who wouldn't want a wife and children to be hot on the bed, farming every day, and it would be much better without having to use knives and guns! Dog officer!"

Yan Li felt that what Qin Feng said was meaningless, so he scolded Qin Feng again.

Although he was scolded by the dog officials from the left, Qin Feng was not angry and felt that he had chosen the right person.

When Yan Li was brought out from the prison, he saw a gleam in Yan Li's eyes, he must be a dexterous person, but now he saw that his mind was really alive.

When people communicate with each other, it is naturally easier to communicate with smart people.

If you find a guy with a stupid and single-minded mind, I'm afraid that no matter what he says, the other party won't listen to him.

Qin Feng didn't let a bandit out for no reason.With so many yamen servants under his command, is he still short of such a labor force?

He wanted to persuade the rest of the bandits through Yan Li.

That's dozens of people!And all of them have a foundation, even if they are hungry and thin, the shelves are still there, and it is easy to recover.

He wants to use these labor forces to solve the current predicament.Otherwise, just asking them to eat in prison will make him, the county magistrate, poor.

And these bandits have too much hatred for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng thinks that he is not that capable, a single speech can turn their minds around, and he will work for himself. Therefore, if you want to find someone, you must first convince this person and explain it thoroughly, and then let him lobby for the past. accomplices.

This person is undoubtedly Yan Li.

Hearing his rebuttal, Qin Feng laughed instead of anger, walked a few steps closer to Yan Li, and said leisurely: "I can't ask those gentry for land, but I have other ways. Although I can't help the people in the world, I can call me The farmers in Ninghai County, within a year, got out of the predicament."

"And with this method, as long as people are willing to learn it, other states and counties can follow suit. If it is applied properly, farmers all over the world can live a good life."

"Well, do you want to hear it?"
