add another chapter

Seeing that there was still no one to speak, Liu Ze pulled up his previous guide, Wei Zi, and asked Wei Zi, "Brother Wei Zi, tell me, at your age, why are you so begging for food?"

To Liu Ze's surprise, Wei Zi was generous and unflinching, and imitated Liu Ze with a big paper speaker and shouted to the people below: "What else can I do? When I was young, I worked as a long-term worker for the landlord. Mai Ke, I have no money! I can’t marry a wife, so I can only become a swordsman, and I lost a finger.” He raised his right hand with the missing thumb, and continued, “Look, young and old, I’m not You bastard, look at my hands, look at my waist, they are all fucking crippled. I made a couple of bucks as a swordsman, came back and bought a few acres of land to marry an aunt, hey, that milk, that ass."

Seeing that Wei Zi was pulling away again, Liu Ze quickly pulled him back: "Get to the point, get to the point!"

"Hey, yes, that mother-in-law is heavy!" Looking at Liu Ze's eyes, she quickly said, "Later, I gave birth to a baby, my baby is sensible when she is young, and she doesn't pee on the kang when she grows up, so she can support herself! "

As he spoke, he wiped his tears and said: "The good days have not passed for a few years, and there are droughts and locust plagues. My mother-in-law, aunt, and children have died of the epidemic again! The land at home has also paid taxes and food, and was raped by that unconscionable Dong Laosan." Bought it!"

"Then who is Dong Laosan?" Liu Ze challenged.

Weizi opened his eyes wide and shouted to the audience: "Then Dong Laosan is the head of our district. His family is a big family with the largest population. I am almost forced to die by chasing money and food every year. Find him!" The government doesn't care, if I want to go to Li Chang Jia Chang again, if there is no law, I will give him this land! I can only come out and beg for food!"

The crowd below started to make noise again: "This is fate, it's all bad fate!"

"Who isn't? Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to flee famine and beg for food!"

Liu Ze pulled Wei Zi and asked, "Brother Wei Zi, who do you think you should blame now that you are in such a beggar situation?"

Weizi looked at Liu Ze in confusion. Liu Ze had approached him before the meeting and asked him to come on stage to tell his story, but Weizi didn't care. Now that Liu Ze suddenly asked, Weizi didn't know what to say: "Who should I blame? My life is bad!"

"What else are you thinking about? It's your boss! Blame your boss! Blame your government that doesn't care!" Liu Ze waved his hands and shouted excitedly, even without using the loudspeaker, he shouted again, "Come on, let me do the math for you, digging into the ground! How much land rent do the landlords of your village actually charge for renting land to tenants?"

"Seventy percent!"

"Sixty percent!"

"Hey, where is [-]%? Ours is [-]%!"

"But that's also other people's land. We rented other people's land, and the other landlord supported us, otherwise we wouldn't have any land to plant!"

Liu Ze stomped his feet on the stage, shaking the temporary wooden stage a little, and shouted to the audience: "Folks, this rent is as high as that of Zhaojiazhuang yesterday, and [-]% of them are paid. How can this make people live? You have [-]% to [-]% less, farmers keep [-]% to [-]%, and the rest belongs to the landlords. In a good year with good weather and good weather, you can only get enough food and clothing, let alone the disaster of that day There are also all kinds of miscellaneous taxes and miscellaneous food and miscellaneous servants in the court to deal with! How can people live like this?"

Seeing that the crowd in the audience seemed to be used to this sad situation of exploitation, Liu Ze continued to analyze: "These are not counted. Once something happens, if you borrow money or food from the rich, they are all donkeys who come out of nowhere. Rolling usury can really drive a person to death! Who is to blame for this? It’s not because of our bad luck, it’s because we poor people are being bullied by landlords and rich people! Don’t think that the landlords support us, we pay so much rent , Landlords can do it themselves? Didn’t they rely on usury to exploit us and buy the land that our ancestors had for generations? What sounds good is called buying, but what sounds bad is cheating, cheating us with usury He cheated us of our money!"

Liu Ze saw a man in his 20s down there wiping his tears, and pulled him up and asked, "Brother, what's the matter with you? Why are you crying?"

The man replied: "I cried for my mother. I worked hard and suffered all year round from childhood to adulthood. I didn't even want to eat a full meal. I starved to death! My family ran out of food again this year, and my sister was hungry. I couldn't stand it, so I begged my father and said to my father: "Dad, you should sell me, and sell me for some food for my brother, so I can live!"

The man couldn't help it at this time, and tears poured out like a bankrupt: "My father sold my sister. The trafficker said that the baby was too young and worthless, so he gave ten catties of millet! My father took food When I come back, I will be hanged on the tree with my head bent and my neck behind the house! Just keep me alone, I... I don’t want to live anymore!"

As he spoke, the man bumped into the fork in the hand of the strong man standing under the stage. Fortunately, the strong man turned the fork around quickly with his eyes and hands, and the man survived.

Liu Ze hurriedly called the following people to carry the suicidal man back. Seeing his face full of tears and snot, Liu Ze continued to speak with a loudspeaker: "Is that why you want to die, kid? You're dead now." You bastard! If you are a man, stand up straight and follow me back to avenge you! You don’t want to avenge your sister, your mother, or your father? Who made you so miserable? Those landlords and rich men! It's those corrupt officials!"

"Ah! I can't die, I have to avenge them!" Only then did the man come to his senses.

Liu Ze pulled him, and then settled accounts with the crowd in the audience: "Don't keep complaining about your own life, you settle accounts with me, look at the villages near your home, how many landlords and rich households are there? Ten out of a hundred one?"

"Where is it? It would be nice to have five!"

"Yes, which of us poor people is not bullied and oppressed by landlords, rich households, and rich landowners? The landlord on your side bullies others, and the landlord on his side also bullies others. Why do all the landlords bully others? That is Because the government is helping these landlords and rich people to bully us! The government, landlords and rich people are our enemies!"

"But what can we do? Landlords and wealthy households are backed by the government, we can't afford to provoke them!" An old man with white beard and hair sighed while leaning on a cane, "If we provoke them, it will be a catastrophe that will destroy the family. !"

Hearing this, there was a burst of "Yes, yes! We can't afford to offend, it's just life!"

Liu Ze pulled out the waist knife he carried with him, raised it and roared angrily: "Bah! We have more poor people and fewer rich people, so what can they do? Let's drown them with a mouthful of saliva!" Liu Ze asked the man who was still wiping tears just now, "You What is it called?"

The man replied, "My name is Li Kefu!"

"I want to pull up a team to avenge the poor in the world, do you dare to avenge me?" Liu Ze held out his hand to Li Kefu.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Kefu grabbed Liu Ze's hand and replied, "I am willing! I want revenge! I will follow you!"

Seeing Li Kefu being held by Liu Ze, with snot and tears all over his face, it was really funny, and they all laughed.

"Don't laugh!" Liu Ze put the waist knife back into the scabbard, and shouted to everyone: "We poor people don't laugh at poor people, we don't want to be ashamed when we cry, those are bullied by those landlords, rich households, and government officials. Grief and indignation are the driving force, let's do it with them! We want revenge!"

The crowd who were laughing and wiping away tears at the venue also shouted: "Revenge! Revenge!"

"So, for revenge, be our own soldiers, fight only for us poor people, wipe away our tears, take up arms and fight those landlords, rich men, corrupt officials, and these fat heads and big ears!"

As he spoke, Liu Ze shouted a slogan: "Fuck with those big bellies!"

The echoes of the people below gradually changed from messy to neat, and finally gathered into one sentence: "Fuck with those big bellies!"

At this time, Lao Kong also shouted at the right time: "Let's follow the master!"

The crowd shouted again: "Follow the master!"

"Make a fire and cook, those who are willing to avenge me, and those who are willing to be our poor people's home, come to my place to sign up in the afternoon, and we will organize the team today!" With Liu Ze's order, the morning meeting ended perfectly.

Liu Ze gathered everyone together for this meeting, the purpose is to unite people's hearts, and really make preparations for pulling up the pole. After the chaotic fight in Zhaojiazhuang, Liu Ze changed his mind and no longer wanted to use Wang Er In the name of leading the army, now that Liu Ze has really done it, the hearts of the people have gathered!
