The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times
Chapter 35: The Beginning of Troubled Times
Yun Zhi looked at him panting, poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the table, and pushed it towards him.
"Take it easy."
He waved his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Miss Yun, that's not necessary."
After standing here for a while, Li Shun calmed down and his breathing became less rapid.
He looked at Yun Zhi with an expression that was difficult to interpret.
"Miss Yun, there's a fight going on in the county town."
really.
Yun Zhi tapped the table lightly. Judging from Li Shun's appearance, he must have had a pretty big fight.
"Well, continue."
As if remembering something, Li Shun shuddered and clenched his hands at his sides.
"A couple of days ago, the tenants from Landlord Zhang's farm and the tenants who rented land nearby came to attack him."
Landlord Zhang was the largest landlord in Qingping County. He owned several acres of fertile land and had always had a good relationship with the county magistrate.
He has countless dependents under his name, and countless villagers rent his land.
Yun Zhi nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"The news came back from the capital that the men they went with are dead, their bodies haven't been returned, and there's not even any compensation."
When he said this, Li Shundu still felt a little scared. If he had not followed Miss Yun here, one of him and his father might have died in the capital.
They would be like those tenants, forced into a corner and killed at the landlord's house.
It had only been a year since he had participated in this corvee labor, and this good man was gone just like that. When did he die? Why did he die? The official who came to report the news didn't say a word.
All I know is that the person is gone, gone in Beijing.
The normal procedure should be to send the body back and provide compensation to appease the family.
The result was nothing, isn't that disheartening?
"This happened to coincide with the autumn harvest. The family had lost a male child and was completely overwhelmed. Taxes were also so high that some people couldn't survive, so they banded together and attacked Landlord Zhang's family."
Normally, households that were granted benefits were not required to perform labor service or pay taxes, but the construction of the imperial palace was a huge project, so regardless of whether you were a household that was granted benefits or not, every family had to select one person to participate.
That's why this time, the tenants and the dependents joined forces to attack the Zhang family.
Yun Zhi stopped tapping and looked at him, "So... you lost?"
He didn't expect this result, the result would only be a loss.
They have nothing but their physical strength.
The weapons are probably just farm tools, and there is no battle plan. How can they defeat the landlord Zhang's family with countless guards just relying on passion?
He nodded, "Yes, I lost."
When he said this, Li Shun's face was filled with righteous indignation. "Landlord Zhang actually hung the heads of these corpses on the city wall to warn others. I took a look and they were almost dried up."
The weather is very hot now, and the heads hanging on the city wall will dry quickly naturally.
Li Shun raised his head and looked at Yun Zhi, his eyes reddened. "Miss Yun, what's wrong with this world?"
They just want to survive, why is it so difficult?
"If the leaders follow suit, the world will be rotten from the root. How can we expect this world to get any better?"
"Okay, I know all this, you can go out first."
Li Shun nodded, "Yeah."
When leaving, he closed the study door as well.
After he left, Yun Zhi stood up, walked to the window and pushed it gently.
The sunlight suddenly came through the gap, casting a layer of light and shadow on her.
Yunzhi looked towards Qingping County.
The small Qingping County is a microcosm of the Tianqi Kingdom. I am afraid that fighting has already broken out in other places, and even uprisings have occurred.
There will be more and more such incidents in the future, and the world will become more and more chaotic and divided.
The snowball rolling down the mountain also grows from a small ball into a huge monster.
The destruction of the Apocalypse Kingdom can no longer be stopped.
Now, it’s time for Yunjiazhai to take the next step.
Things really happened just as Yun Zhi had thought. In many other places, there were incidents of civilians breaking into the homes of landlords or county magistrates.
But, they were all suppressed one by one.
As for the rebels, they had already appeared, but their scale was still small. Once discovered, the royal family sent troops to deal with them in a timely manner.
Apart from the royal family and some high-ranking officials, most people are still unaware of this matter.
However, there is no way to deal with all such things. Once they appear, they will continue to appear. Some smart people will even hide and wait for an opportunity to act.
And this chaotic era that lasted for nearly fourteen years also began from this moment.
It is the hour of You.
During dinner, Yun Zhi looked at Yun Jingxian and said, "Brother, tomorrow you will go door to door to inform them that we should gradually expand the houses from now on."
Hearing this, Yun Jingxian stopped eating and looked at Yun Zhi, "Why expand the house?"
"Li Shun brought back news today that a fight broke out in the county a few days ago."
Yun Zhi briefly recounted what happened in the county.
Lin Huixin's hand holding the wooden chopsticks trembled, "How did it become like this?"
Everything was fine before they left.
Yun Youde sighed, looking relieved. "Fortunately, fortunately, our family has escaped. Now people living in the county town are probably trembling with fear."
Zhou Yifeng raised his head from the bowl and glanced at her. His calculation was really accurate. Everything developed as she expected.
At this time, Yun Zhi had just finished the last bite of rice in the bowl and put down her wooden chopsticks.
"So, we need to expand the house and prepare to take in refugees. As for the purpose of building the house, let's not tell them for now."
There is no need to tell them these things before they happen.
Yun Jingxian nodded, "Okay, there's no need to hesitate about that. I'll go now."
Having said that, Yun Jingxian put down his chopsticks and prepared to walk out.
"elder brother."
Hearing Yunzhi's call, he stopped and looked at her.
"No rush, we can go tomorrow."
"okay."
Yun Jingxian came back and sat down, picked up the unfinished bowl of rice and continued eating. Anyway, his sister had her own plans, so he just listened.
Of course there is still enough time, and there is no need to rush for this day. Yun Zhi will not start taking in people when the chaos just begins.
Only when people are desperate and about to die will they be extremely grateful to those who saved them and be willing to offer their loyalty.
Their value can be maximized.
On the second day, Yun Jingxian went door to door to inform everyone here.
Although they didn't know why they had to expand the house, they still followed Yun Zhi's arrangements and started building the house.
Especially since what happened in Qingping County has spread everywhere today, they are all very sad. If they had not fled here with the Yun family, they might have become one of them.
So I became more active in my work.
Of course, there are also some smart people who smelled something different from these two things.
