Chapter 62

"This is?"

Gu Dan frowned unconsciously as he watched wave after wave of peasants who looked like refugees, whose clothes were not even neatly dressed, passing by amidst the cheers of the yamen servants.

Xun Ke was much more straightforward. He stood in front of the yamen servant and asked, "Why do you dare to ask?"

The yamen servant, who was already in a bad mood, pulled out his whip, first turned his eyes around, and saw Fengshen Junlang not far away, Gu Dan, who knew at a glance that he was definitely an extraordinary person, finally put down the whip in his hand, impatiently Said: "Take the mud legs to build the fairy palace."

"Building the Asgard?"

Xun Ke's face was flushed, and he didn't know whether it was because he ran for too long or because he was angry, "It's the time for farming. Last year, Yuzhou suffered from natural disasters, the grain production was insufficient, and famine was rampant everywhere. It's time to work hard to cultivate in the beginning of spring this year. The spring rain just came last night. It is time to rectify people's livelihood, how can we build the fairy palace at this time?!"

"Get out of the way! What's the use of yelling at me? It's not your fault that you can't find it." The yamen servant pushed Xun Ke aside, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Watching a large group of people go away, Xun Ke gritted his teeth and said, "Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn is the law of nature! What's the difference between asking farmers to serve corvee during this season and directly killing them?"

Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger!
Corvée is not something that can be carried on regardless of anything.

The time of spring planting and autumn harvest has always been the busiest time for farmers. Even corvee workers have to distinguish between seasons and avoid them. This is related to the livelihood of the people. Who dares to risk the world?
There is also the cold winter, and it is impossible to start corvée, otherwise there is no need to do it at all, and the people participating in corvée will be frozen to death!

"It's not quite right."

Gu Dan also frowned, no matter how insane Emperor Zong Ming was, he wouldn't conscript the people to build the Immortal Palace during the spring planting, right?
Back then when Daqing invaded Yuzhou, Emperor Zongming knew that he stopped his cultivation in the Immortal Palace during the conquest, why now he wants to forcibly promote the progress of the Immortal Palace?

Is it true that the older you get, the more confused you become?

"Last winter, more than [-] people in the imperial city were frozen to death and starved to death in one day! This is only the result of the investigation by Mo Shi and the others. A natural disaster in Yuzhou can affect the emperor. The clothing and food of the people in the city, the mobilization of corvee affects more than one state?
In a disaster year, if you don't want to revive people's livelihood, how can you launch corvee and build some fairy palace? !Is the selfish desire of an individual more important than thousands of people? "

Xun Ke clenched his fists, extremely angry.

He is still young, but he has read a lot of books, and he has a sense of integrity in his heart.

What's more, Mo Qiu taught him by precepts and deeds, and after seeing those outstanding people with his own eyes, Xun Ke also had his own ideas.

"Go back to the yard first."

After all, the outside is not a place to talk. Although Gu Dan is not afraid, there is no need to be exposed to the outside to cause trouble.

Back in his small courtyard, Gu Dan wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it to Mo Qiu.

Not long after, Mo Qiu came with a person.

At this time, early spring had just arrived, and it was still a thunderstorm yesterday, but Mo Qiu was only wearing the crudest short brown linen clothes, which were clothes that even ordinary people with a little extra money would despise.

After wearing it for a long time, it will inevitably make people feel itchy and uncomfortable, and even leave red marks. It is really the cheapest clothing.

Coupled with his already dark complexion, if it weren't for his unusually burly and tall figure, he really wouldn't look like a master at all, he would be the most qualified old farmer staying in the field.

"Brother Mo, do you know about the Longevity Immortal Palace?"

There were no pleasantries, and Gu Dan opened his mouth to get to the point.

After Mo Qiu entered Xianyuan, Emperor Zongming treated the Mohists quite favorably, and Shangyi favored them. Someone came to him, and the Mohists' channels for getting news were no longer comparable to the past.

Instead of figuring it out by yourself, it is better to ask directly.

"This year, the emperor will celebrate his [-]th birthday, and it will be a big one."

Mo Qiu's face was full of unresolved anger, "Of course the officials under his command are doing what they like, and some people directly promoted the matter of the Longevity Immortal Palace, demanding that it be completely completed before the emperor's birthday, claiming that only the Longevity Immortal Palace Only such a fairyland can match the grace of the Holy One!"

Gu Dan suddenly realized that all the irrationality had been explained.

Yuzhou suffered a catastrophe during the autumn harvest last year, and the people were killed or injured. What about the shortage of food and the famine in various places?
For Emperor Zong Ming, it was a fate from heaven!
If possible, smash a few more.

In the past, when there was no celestial karma, Emperor Zong Ming could find time to hold a feast for himself, proclaiming himself a "Emperor of Longevity" or something.Now that Xianyuan has actually got a part of it, and it coincides with its [-]th birthday, how can it not be a special one?
The most solemn place to hold it is naturally the Longevity Immortal Palace, which has been under construction for a long time and has not yet been completed.

In this era, the sky is big and the earth is big, and the emperor is the biggest.

What about spring planting and autumn harvest, natural disasters and man-made disasters, you have to lean to the side!
When the emperor smiles, that is the peace of the country and the people.

"How dare he ignore the people's livelihood so much! Isn't he afraid that the people will rebel?" Xun Ke couldn't bear it any longer, and angrily scolded.

His home is in Yuzhou. He has seen too many hardships and disasters in Yuzhou, but at a young age, he has already experienced the cruelty of the world. The sea of ​​bitterness, the hard way to survive.

For this reason, there are countless people selling their children and women, and the dire situation is not enough to describe!

Now not only do they not get half of the preferential treatment from the temple, but they have to dispatch manpower to go to the corvee during the spring planting?

It's better to directly enter the throat with a knife and gun, and give it a good time!

"Of course he dares! You are an emperor, why should you think about the suffering of the people? Is it a day when the world is in a quagmire?
As early as 20 years ago, because of the alchemist, he asked the immortals to ask questions. After ignoring the government, he became a person who only asks for support from the people. Why do you need to wait until today to ask questions? "

Behind Mo Qiu, the man who looked about the same age as Gu Dan spoke in a cold voice.

His ideas are actually a few points more radical than Xun Ke's, and he almost said that Emperor Zongming should die more than 20 years ago.

Such rebellious remarks, as long as an outsider hears a sentence, the nine clans can play together.

Gu Dan glanced, "This is?"

"Qin Lisheng is the disciple that the Mo family accepted when it was first established. It just so happens that you also need someone to take care of you here, so let him stay with you to cultivate for a while." Mo Qiu said very calmly.

He didn't stop the debate between the two, and let them express their opinions, even if they were extremely outrageous.

Of course, this is also because there are no outsiders around in Gu Dan's yard.

The corner of Gu Dan's mouth twitched lightly, seeing that he was too indifferent, so he found something to do for him.

If it was before yesterday, someone like Qin Lisheng would never have taken him in based on his philosophy.

But
After a moment of silence, Gu Dan nodded slightly, "Alright."
