"Miss Xu Liu keeps talking about industry, but why is it industry? How is it different from agriculture?"

"For thousands of years, society has only had one form of production, and that is agriculture. Our economy is a small-scale peasant economy, and this economic model can only allow the people to have enough food and clothing. Industry is the next step based on agriculture, and this concept may not be It’s easy to understand, how should I put it…”

Xu Qingying was really hesitant and thought about it, "Let's take soap for example. Soap can barely be regarded as a kind of industry. You can understand it this way. Using cheap raw materials and the most advanced technology to make something with a high price is industry. Of course, this superb technology does not refer to craftsmanship such as carpentry, but requires years of study, and the ability to see and utilize the changing laws of nature, such as making the carriage move by itself without human or animal power, using grafting, breeding, and hybridization. Increasing food production can be regarded as industry."

Someone immediately said: "I understand, what Miss Xu said must be the magic from heaven!"

Everyone burst into laughter, not taking Xu Qingying's words seriously.

Xu Qingying was not discouraged. After all, this was an ancient time with backward productivity. She said it was a blessing that she was not dragged to death for her words.

So she smiled and said: "Think about it, people always have to be full of imagination, maybe one day it will come true. People 1000 years ago have never seen waterwheels, nor have they seen stone mills, wooden plows and other agricultural tools. , look at how much more food we produce now compared to people 1000 years ago. Who can say for sure what the future will look like."

Everyone heard this, but no one refuted this time.

Miss Xu is right, think about it, it’s okay to think about it, what if the yield per unit of land is really achieved in the future?

Then don’t they get enough white rice every day?

That...it was really a life lived by gods!
Uncle Fang shouted excitedly: "I think Miss Xu is right! As long as we learn mathematics well and master the theorems of heaven and earth and their laws, why can't we use the way of heaven? Let's just talk about the arithmetic problem of storing and releasing water that we learned a few days ago. , if applied to water conservancy issues, there will be no floods in Jinzhou this year, and there will not be so many people displaced!"

As soon as Uncle Fang finished speaking, he was kicked in the back by Mr. Fang. Although Mr. Fang was old, his body was still strong. He didn't give Uncle Fang any face, so he just grabbed his back collar and left.

"Nonsense, the way of heaven is something that we mortals can only peep into? You have studied the books of sages for so many years, and you have read so many principles into the dog's belly?" Mr. Fang was about to leave with Uncle Fang in his hands, and he gave a slight warning before leaving. He glanced at Xu Qingying. "If you continue to confuse people with your monstrous words, be careful and I will break your legs!"

Everyone also knew that the old man of the Fang family was a wild man, and when they saw that old man Fang was just like ordinary people like them when he got angry and scolded his son, they couldn't help but find it funny, and they all just watched the fun for a while, but no one put these words aside. In the heart.

Xu Qingying frowned slightly, thinking about what was wrong with what she just said, but Xu Huiming came over with a worried look on her face, "Qingying, this so-called way of heaven is the art of the emperor, how can you talk nonsense? Fortunately, we are today There are not many people in the team who are educated. If someone with intentions hears it, it would be frivolous to label us as rebels! Your words are too shocking. Please don’t mention these things again in the future!"

Xu Qingying suddenly remembered that in ancient China, the emperor was considered to be the destined person in the universe, possessing supreme authority and dominance.

They are regarded as beings who represent destiny and carry God's will.Confucianism emphasizes the unity of heaven and man, believing that heaven is the highest existence and governs all things in the world.

The Dao of Heaven is the moral law of heaven and the avenue of the universe. It is the wisdom and power that surpasses human beings.

The emperor rules the world with the way of heaven and represents the will of heaven, but she actually openly advocates the use of the way of heaven——

What a gaffe.

Xu Qingying said quickly: "Thank you, brother, for reminding me. I will remember to be careful in my words and deeds in the future."

"We should thank Mr. Fang. If he hadn't made such a fuss just now, tonight everyone would only remember the joke between him and Mr. Fang, and no one would remember what you said."

Xu Qingying accepted Mr. Fang's kindness, but she suddenly felt enlightened in her heart. She secretly thought about which mountain she would sing in the future, so as not to cause the disaster of murder if she was not careful.

This night, Xu Qingying had some insomnia.

She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She didn't know whether it was because of anxiety or uneasiness, or because she was afraid and unwilling.

She knew that she did not have the ability to change the world, but she did not want to become insensitive to the current situation. She was distressed by her own weakness and the cruelty of reality, and only asked herself over and over again.

What on earth can she do?
Everyone had fallen asleep, and everything in the world was silent. Xu Qingying was lying sideways on the kang, and while her thoughts were racing, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far and near.

The sound of the horse's hooves was far away at first, but it got closer and closer. As the ground shook, Xu Qingying's expression changed, and she almost immediately got out of bed. With all her strength, she screamed outside: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Attack! Enemy attack!!!"

As Xu Qingying screamed a warning, Zhao Bantou, Da Zhuang and other armed men had already noticed the abnormality. They took the lead to stand up and grab their knives, rushed out of the room and shouted: "There are rogues, kill them quickly!" !”

Xu Qingying glanced out of the window and saw a refugee team of 40 to [-] people a hundred meters away. They were holding weapons made of sharpened bamboo poles and silently rushed toward their yard!
This time everyone woke up.

Someone beat the gong and made a warning sound of "dong dong dong".

There were people running around screaming.

Someone called their friends and rushed out with weapons.

Fortunately, during the day, when Team Leader Zhao and the others went up the mountain to look for Liu Jiejie, they cut down a lot of branches and sharpened them. They wanted to make weapons and keep them to deal with bandits on the road, but they didn't know they would use them now.

Xu Degui picked up his weapon and protected his wife and daughter behind him, "Huiming, protect your mother and sister. Qingying, follow me and fight out!"

Xu Huiming dragged Xu Qingying and refused to leave, shouting: "Dad, are you crazy? My sister is weak, how can I charge into the battle?! I am a man, let me go! Sister, take your mother and hide!"

"Stop arguing. These people attacked us while we were sleeping. They were obviously well prepared. They are bound to win, and none of us can escape. Instead of escaping in pieces, it's better to give it a try!"

Xu Qingying threw Xu Huiming away and ignored Xu Degui's shouting. She quickly picked up the book on the bedside and rolled it up like a loudspeaker. She moved quickly, climbed on top of the carriage, and raised her arms to the crowd for a while. : "Don't be afraid, everyone. They are only 40 people. We have a full 100 people. Let's fight three of them one by one. The situation is in our favor! Everyone listens to my orders. The soldiers with knives rush to the front. The young and middle-aged people are the first." Group Two, assist in solving the problem! The women are at the end——"

Although the number of more than 100 people seemed to be quite large, most of them were just show-offs. In addition, they were suddenly attacked like this, so they naturally ran back in fear, and the team was suddenly destroyed.

Seeing dozens of gangsters charging into the main courtyard, they were invincible and killed more than 100 people.Xu Qingying couldn't help but became anxious, "Hold on, don't mess up the formation! Don't be afraid, everyone. They are refugees. They haven't eaten for a few days. They don't have any strength. They just rely on their blood! Aunt Zhao, Sister Ma, Fourth Sister Feng, Aunt Liu, you Don't run, it's useless to run. They will not only kill your men, but also your sons, and they will rape your daughters later. They only have two hands and two feet, and you also have two hands and two feet. I'm afraid What are they doing?! If you don’t want your son or daughter to end up like this, pick up your weapons!”

"The fight is about whoever wants his life, hit their vitals! There are three women in a group, one pokes his eyes, one kicks him in the butt, and one pokes him in the stomach or heart. I don't believe it, the three of us can still Can’t beat one!”

Leader Zhao also roared at the top of his lungs: "Damn it, what are you afraid of what they will do? More than 100 of us can't defeat forty people! We are all just for food! Come on!"

Xu Qingying stood at the top and kept cheering everyone up. The crowd was panicked for a while at first, and then they heard Xu Qingying's shouting.

Mrs. Fang is getting stronger and stronger. Although she has been pampered all her life, she still has the ruthlessness of a tiger girl. While protecting her two frightened granddaughters behind her, she took a weapon and shouted: "Come on, I want to If you want my old lady’s life, come and take it if you can!”

Fang Ruyu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stumbled and fell hard while running. Fang Ningmo supported her and shouted: "Sister, let's hide here, hide in the water tank!"

"But grandma...grandma is still in front. What if she gets injured?!"

Fang Ningmo turned pale with fright, but Leng Buding saw that several girls of similar age to them had formed a formation of three.

Li Zhaodi ran past them and left two bamboo poles behind, "Miss Xu is right, we can't escape even if we run. There are mountains around us, and escaping into the mountains will mean death. It's better to give it a try!"

Feng'er also shouted: "Afraid of his grandma's legs, so many of us are fighting against them. Is it possible that three women can't beat one man?!"

Fang Ningmo picked up the weapon with tears in her eyes.

Feng'er then said: "Miss Fang, don't be afraid, the worst we can do is die in one pile!"

Qian Zhenniang didn't know whether she was crying or laughing at this moment. Anyway, she was trembling all over. She didn't forget to add: "I don't want to die——"

Mrs. Huang also took a bamboo pole and caught up with Mrs. Huang. Several women were shaking with fear, but they couldn't bear it. The refugees kept rushing out from the side. Mrs. Huang closed her eyes and shouted to cheer herself up: "Grandma, old woman." Let’s fight with you!”

"Old lady of the Xu family, according to what Liu Yatou said, we are three women in a group! I have farmed before, I am very strong, and I even beat up the gangsters in the village!" Two women ran over and aimed at one of the refugees. Fork it down.

And over there Xu Qingying was still shouting the rhythm: "Remember what I said, there is no use retreating, there is no use running away, poke the eyes! Kick in the dang! Cross the stomach!"

"Grandma, I've worked hard for this old bone!"

"Grandma, I'm coming too!"

Some people continued to muster the courage to stop escaping, but instead picked up weapons and joined the queue.

With trembling voices and weapons raised, the women surrounded the lone refugees, and then in order to embolden themselves, they shouted: "Poke in the eyes! Kick in the butt! Spread in the stomach!"

The refugee panicked and was about to rush out of the encirclement, but as soon as Huang raised his hand, he found a gap and inserted the sharp end into the opponent's eye. He only heard the refugee scream and cover his eyes full of blood. Those who just threw away their armor and ran away.

The women were disgusted and excited when they saw this, and they did not forget to cheer, "I poked one! The grandma of the Xu family is so powerful! She is a ruthless character!"

"Xu Yatou is right. There is nothing to be afraid of. They are all raised by their mother's parents. They are all mortal. It just depends on who is braver! The old woman is already old. Is it possible that she is still afraid that she has not even grown a few hairs? Qi’s boy?”

Soon, with the addition of women, the situation was reversed. Previously, the exile troops were rushed to pieces, but now the refugees who rushed in were surrounded and beaten.

The whole battle started with the first echelon of warriors with strong combat capabilities and swordsmanship, responsible for killing a large number of vanguard troops, then the young and middle-aged men were responsible for picking up the scattered bandits who passed through the first line of defense, and finally it was the women who caught the turtles in the urn. Rogue bandits.

The three lines of defense compensated for each other, instantly turning the situation around and killing the gang of bandits who were retreating steadily!

Xu Qingying jumped up and down in the team, cheering everyone up while negotiating with the other party: "Brother, you have been stepping on the point for so many days. You should know that we are all exiled prisoners. We don't have any extra food. We ourselves We are starving to death. What can you grab? I advise you to leave quickly. You have killed so many brothers. Is it possible that the three melons and two dates in our carriage are not worth it——"

"Damn it, kill that woman! Everyone, kill that woman on the carriage -" I heard the leader of the other side's bandits shout, and several skilled bandits held knives and quickly passed through the crowd. He rushed towards Xu Qingying.

Good guy, this is focusing the war on her.

Although Xu Qingying had learned a few moves from Old Man Xu, they mainly fought hand-to-hand, fast, hard and accurate. Where had she ever seen such a scene where she was directly slashed with a big knife?

This... Old Man Xu never taught her how to deal with it!
"Miss Xu!"

"Six girls!"

Someone in the crowd shouted in horror.

"Go and save Miss Xu quickly——"

Mrs. Miao cried, "Ying'er——"

Bantou Zhao is riding a horse and has an advantage in speed.In addition, his own kung fu was not weak. He raised the knife and fell with his hand, killing him until he was covered in blood. When he saw several gangsters rushing towards Xu Qingying with knives, he immediately shouted: "Whoever dares to kill my sister will be killed by me!"

Xu Qingying estimated the distance, knowing that if Team Leader Zhao and the others rushed through the encirclement to rescue her, it would be too late. She could only say to Liu Dazhuang: "Brother Dazhuang, give me Huang Yazi's knife. I'll delay for a while. You guys rush out to save me immediately!"

Huang Yazi left a knife behind when he left. Considering the problem of bandits these days, Bantou Zhao temporarily gave the knife to Da Zhuang for use.
