"Did you hear that?" Luo Xin spread his hands towards He Xinyin and said, "There are two main reasons why the mountain people are poor, can't eat, and even starve to death.

One is poverty, and the other is the exploitation of the eighteen villages, constantly sucking blood on the mountain people. Even the exploitation of the eighteen villages is more than the reason for poverty. They are greedy and cruel, and they don't treat the mountain people as people at all, you can ask Hao Datong and them, who hasn't been bullied by the Eighteen Villages? ”

He Xinyin's eyes looked at Hao Datong's mountain people, and those mountain people heard Luo Xin's words at this time, and recalled that they had been bullied by the Eighteen Villages, and their eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Luo Xin's voice sounded faintly, "There are two reasons for poverty, one is that there is very little land in the mountain forest that can grow crops, and the harvest is not good, so it is simply impossible to meet the needs of the mountain people. The second is that they don't have any skills, they just know how to hunt. Hunting is a dangerous job, and most of the harvest of hunting is taken away by the Eighteen Villages.

Eighteen villages, they are powerless to resist. Dare to resist, and the result is death.

Therefore, if you want the mountain people to have enough to eat, you must solve these two problems. Once these two problems are solved, no one wants to rob the mountain people who can eat enough. You must know that robbery is not only the death of those who are robbed, but also the people who rob.

Those who can eat enough will not rebel against the imperial court, because the cost of resisting the imperial court is too great, and more people will die. And those who died were strong, and without them, they would not be able to hunt, and the mountain people would have died even more. ”

Hao Datong and the other mountain people all nodded, Luo Xin's words reached their hearts, and they looked at Luo Xin with expectant eyes.

"So, here I am." Luo Xin's face showed a look of confidence, "I came here, not to kill the mountain people, but to solve the problem for the mountain people, and to solve the problem once and for all." Let them be able to eat their stomachs in the future, and they don't have to worry about starvation, and they don't have to worry about the eighteen villages coming to rob, and they don't have to worry about the court coming to encircle and suppress them.

First of all, I will teach them winemaking techniques. The most important thing in this deep mountain forest is fruit, I teach them the technique of making wine with fruit, and I will collect as much as they brew, and they don't have to worry about not being able to sell it, and they don't have to worry about not getting money when they sell it.

With the skill of winemaking, coupled with their farming and hunting, they were not only able to eat well, but also to eat well. This solves their problem of poverty.

However, if the Eighteen Villages still exist, they will become coolies. They have benefited from winemaking, and most of them will be robbed by the Eighteen Villages, and they will still live a poor life, without enough food and clothing. Therefore, in order for the mountain people to be fed and clothed, it is necessary to eradicate the eighteen villages.

It is to be eradicated, and there will never be any more eighteen villages that are oppressed on the heads of the mountain people.

In this way, the mountain people can live a good life. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xin's face showed compassion and said, "For the sake of millions of mountain people, even if I, Luo Xin, have a bad reputation, it is worth it." ”

Everyone was silent, only the "rustling" footsteps. Half-ringing, Hao Datong's eyes were red and he said to Luo Xin

"Lord Luo, we can't put this kind of notoriety on you. You have a way, right? What do you need us to do, you just have to say it, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, we will break through. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" One by one, the mountain people excitedly shouted: "Sword Mountain, Sea of Fire, let's break in." ”

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "No need, as long as millions of mountain people can be fed and clothed, it will be the greatest reward for me." Speed up and rush to the seventeenth village before dark. ”

Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan glanced at each other, and the two of them gathered together, discussing something in a low voice as they walked. When it was time to eat at noon, Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan came to the middle of the mountain people.

One by one, the mountain people were both frightened and excited to salute the two people, Hao Datong hurriedly invited Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan to sit down, he knew that these two people were Luo Xin's right-hand men.

"Lord Yun, Lord Tao, eat something." Hao Datong sent dry food.

Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan took the dry food, Yun Zhiqiu broke a piece and put it in his mouth, and said while eating

"Brothers, mountain people, you all heard what Lord Luo said in the morning, right?"

"I heard you!" The mountain people nodded their heads.

"You don't want Lord Luo to have a bad name for you, do you?"

"I don't want to!"

"Moreover, once Lord Luo bears this notoriety and returns to the capital, he may be dismissed by His Majesty, and once he is dismissed by His Majesty, no one will buy your wine."

The expressions of all the mountain people couldn't help but change, and Hao Datong was even more anxious

"Two adults, if there is anything we need to do, you can just say, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, let's go and break in."

"That's right! The sword mountain and the sea of fire, let's go and break through. One by one, the mountain people slapped their chests thumping.

"It's not that serious." Tao Xingyan waved his hand and said, "However, there are some things that you need to do. ”

"What's the matter? Please give me advice. ”

"First of all, you have to spread the words that Lord Luo said in the morning among the mountain people, so that millions of mountain people know the hard work and dedication of the adults."

"There's no problem with that." Hao Datong patted his chest and said, "Without the Eighteen Villages, I, Huangshan and Weihe still have some prestige among the mountain people, as long as we go and say it, they will definitely believe it." ”

"The second thing is to ask you mountain people to write a book for all people."

"The Book of the People?"

"Yes, Book of the People." Tao Xingyan nodded and said, "You have to write about how you have been oppressed by the Eighteen Villages over the years, and write about the most miserable things that you mountain people have suffered, so that Your Majesty knows that you are living in dire straits, and you want Your Majesty to know that you are the real mountain people, and the Eighteen Villages are not mountain people at all, they are mountain thieves." They not only robbed the Han people and fought against the government, but also robbed you mountain people.

Thanks to His Majesty sending Luo Xin, he was able to exterminate the Eighteen Villages and save you from the dire situation. ”

"I see." Hao Datong thought for a while, and finally reacted, so he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will do it beautifully." ”

Even if Hao Datong sent a hundred people to various tribes, he first had to let each tribe know that Luo Xin could solve their poverty. In this way, no matter whether those people believe it or not, as long as they hesitate and do not come to help the Eighteen Villages immediately, then it will be easy to say anything from now on.

At dusk.

The army came to the woods thousands of kilometers away from the 17th Village, and Zhang Long and Wang Gao took Hao Datong's more than 100 people towards the 17th Village.
