The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan were skeptical. They didn't think that Li Jize's "banditry" could really govern the entire Qingzhou.

after all……

The rebel army is their belief!

Belief is exclusive. People always think that what they believe in is the best and what others believe in is not good.

So, Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan looked at each other and simultaneously suggested to the young man who was leading the way that they were feeling a little hungry and asked if they could eat first.

The young man who led the way was puzzled, but he still said truthfully, "We went to the posthouse and prepared food ourselves!"

The two refused and said that there was no need to bother and they could just find a farmer's house nearby to have some simple meals.

The young man doesn't care. You don't want to eat the "meals" specially prepared for envoys by the post station, and insist on eating the simple meals of the farmers. He can't stop you.

That's it...

The two of them directly chose a village with faint smoke from chimneys and went in to look for food!

The first one looked pretty good, and the house was actually being renovated.

They thought they should be considered a well-off family. They wanted to see what life was like for an ordinary well-off family under Li Jize's governance.

As a result, after seeing this, all three views were shattered.

How can this be considered a well-off family?

That must be a wealthy family!

At lunchtime, people were burning firewood and steaming white rice in hazelnuts.

I'm so horny!

Not only did this family eat white rice, which only merchants could eat, but they also made two vegetarian dishes and one meat!

Yes, it is so outrageous that a well-off family can actually eat meat.

What era is this? How can there be white rice and meat?

Of course, they couldn't believe that such an outrageous thing would happen before their eyes, so they ran to another family. As each family came to look for them, the two sisters were about to collapse.

The young man watched everything so calmly and calmly from beginning to end, because he was used to it!

But these two people continued to complain!

How could this happen? How could this happen?

Under Li Jize's rule, even the poorest families in Qingzhou could eat rice. Although they might not have meat, they definitely had vegetables.

Any normal family has meat to eat!

Yes! Meat! Can you believe it? In this ancient time without animal husbandry, how could so many people eat meat?

The answer is also very simple!

Backed by Haojing and Qingzhou, two locations close to the sea, and with the Da Qi ban on sea fishing in recent years, the fishing industry is booming, okay?

Li Jize developed the fishery industry on a large scale and without restraint. Fish began to flood Qingzhou, and naturally the people could eat meat at will.

Of course, no matter how many fish there are, they can’t be given away for free!

Boatmen, fishermen and sailors also need to eat, so they have to collect money. Where do the people get the money to buy food and fish?

This brings us to economics!

Only when money starts flowing can everyone become rich together.

In the feudal era, ordinary people could barely make ends meet after paying the grain tax collected by the government.

This is only true when times are good. When times are bad, people can only sell their children and land. Otherwise, why would there be so many rebellions?

But Li Jize is different. He beats the landlords and divides the land, so everyone has land to farm!

Moreover, because Li Jize collected commercial taxes and customs duties, he had no shortage of silver, so the agricultural tax was very low.

On the one hand, the common people first solved the problem of food and clothing, and on the other hand, the factories recruited a large number of people. Li Jize's money flowed into the hands of ordinary people through the factory's salary distribution.

The common people have silver, grain in the fields, and money in their pockets. Can't they buy some fish and meat to improve their lives?

Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that Li Jize also has it.

Where does food come from? It comes from the exchange of muskets and firearms!

Where did the fish come from? The Qin Palace provided boats and people and organized everyone to catch them.

Because of this, the people of Qingzhou did not suffer at all because of Li Jize's arrival.

On the contrary, in this feudal ancient times, people lived a "well-off" life ahead of time, naturally...

They support Li Jize. As long as the King of Qin announces his ascension to the throne today, the people of Qingzhou will probably go out to buy firecrackers to celebrate in the afternoon.

Of course, as noble and righteous as it sounds, there is no love or hate in the world without reason.

War is the plunder of resources!

With the population explosion, land annexation will become serious and war will inevitably break out.

Again, no matter what the final outcome is, war can solve all problems.

Victory! Plunder enough resources, and your nation will naturally rise.

Lost! The population has plummeted, and the remaining land is enough for everyone to divide.

The reason why the people of Qingzhou can live so comfortably is because Li Jize went to the rear of the barbarians and plundered a large number of livestock and silver! It is because the Qin Palace organized fishermen to plunder nature crazily and prey on the fisheries in the waters around Daqi.

Similarly, they used muskets to exchange for food and minerals from the people ruled by the rebels.

Li Zhenbei tightened his belt in exchange for these "industrial gadgets" from Li Jize, but what he actually paid was real money and food.

This! This is the dimensionality reduction attack of industrial countries on agricultural countries!

If the people in an agricultural country cannot afford to eat, they will rebel and overthrow the emperor.

But industrial countries have liberated their people from the earth. Even if they can't afford to eat, even if they encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters, they can still find a way to survive by going to work in factories.

How can the people of Qingzhou not be grateful to Li Jize?

When Princess Wang Yuanya of Qin saw that it was lunchtime and every household was eating happily, and that many people were returning from work in the factory, carrying fish, meat, or various clothes in their hands, she actually felt a little sad.

This……

This is what she gained from the rebel propaganda after experiencing the outside world, the so-called "Great Harmony of the World"!

She felt as if she was dreaming!

Everything that she loved but could not get and desired so much suddenly appeared before her eyes. Why didn't she notice this when she came to Qingzhou before?

"Xiaolan! Have we...have we really arrived in a world of universal peace? Isn't this the ideal of our rebel army, our highest pursuit?"

When Wang Yuanya said this, Zhang Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat and she froze on the spot.

Oops! Good guy!

Her eyelids suddenly twitched and she had a bad feeling.

Wang Yuanya looked at the hazy eyes and confused expressions around her, and it was obvious that she had doubts about the gap between the rebel army's ideas and reality!

She has begun to waver in her beliefs and has begun to believe that Li Jize has what she wants.
