I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 30 A single spark can start a prairie fire...

"Dragon people..."

At this time, outside the mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang repeated this word with a burning gaze.

He turned to his second brother and asked excitedly:

"Second brother, do you think what the land god said is true?"

Zhu Chongliu was not as excited as Zhu Chongba. Instead, he shook his head with some worry and whispered:
"We don't know whether it's true or not, but Chongba, you have to think carefully, this is a capital crime."

Not everyone is as courageous as Zhu Chongba.

Now that the two have received Tianyu's gift, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only did they have surplus food, but they also had large tracts of arable land.

Seeing that the rice seeds in the field had turned green and were beginning to bear ears, Zhu Chongliu was unwilling to give up such a heavenly life to do such a life-threatening business.

People are lazy. In the peasant uprisings of all generations, no landlord was the first to start them.

The peasants couldn't even get enough food to eat and were about to starve to death, so they decided to go all out and rebel.

When Zhu Chongba heard his second brother's words, his eyes widened:
"Brother! How can you say such things? The God of Land helped us bury our parents and gave us food so that we would not starve to death."

"Later, he was willing to teach us how to read and learn the science that governs the laws of everything in the world. Now that the God of Land wants to save the people, how can we just live in disgrace?"

Zhu Chongliu swallowed his saliva with hesitation:
"We are not trying to live in disgrace, it's just, it's just... Hey!"

Zhu Chongliu didn’t know how to explain it. He just let out a sigh and walked forward with his head down.

Zhu Chongba showed his extraordinary courage at this time. He took a few quick steps, patted his chest and said to his second brother:

"Don't be afraid, second brother. Just follow what the land god said and continue to learn science from him and research hybrid rice."

"Didn't the Earth Lord also say that relying on his magic is not a long-term solution? He can only provide us with some convenience in the early stages. In the end, the problems of the human world will eventually be solved by the human world."

"You can just stay at home and farm peacefully, and we will take care of the rest of the propaganda work! We are not afraid of hardship! Besides, didn't the land god also say that he would give us treasures to keep us safe? Besides, we are going to help those people who are about to starve to death, not to rebel immediately. It's okay."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongliu could not help but say:

"Chongba, this is a disaster year. There are refugees, bandits, and robbers everywhere. If you run around with rice seeds at this time, even if you don't encounter bandits, you will be caught by the soldiers as a refugee. Especially at this time, there are uprisings everywhere. If you are caught, you will be beheaded."

During the Song Dynasty, regardless of its military strength, its economy accounted for 80% of the world's GDP, and it also had world-leading political, economic, and cultural systems that matched its economic strength.

An important reason for this grand occasion was the household registration management system of the Song Dynasty.

In the Han and Tang dynasties, ordinary people had to apply for a pass from the government if they wanted to travel far away. This was called a "Guosuo".

The Song Dynasty abolished this bad policy and people were allowed to migrate freely, which enabled the circulation of goods and labor.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, outsiders had exactly the same rights as locals.

However, in the Yuan Dynasty, the Han and Tang systems were restored and people needed a travel permit to travel.

If you are caught without evidence, you will be punished with a beating at the very least, or even jail time at the worst.

Moreover, without a pass, not only can you not pass through the city gates, you can't even stay in a hotel, work, or do business.

This is also the reason why Zhu Chongliu is so worried.

It doesn't mean that there will be no danger if we don't rebel now.

On the contrary, if Zhu Yuanzhang carried the food and ran around everywhere, the risks he would face would be greater than if he rebelled on the spot.

In a year of such a disaster, it was not uncommon to exchange children for food, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one carrying food with him.

But Zhu Chongba was not afraid at all.
He chuckled, his eyes twinkling as he said:
"There's nothing to be afraid of. We've already thought about it. We'll go to the group of bald monks in Huangjue Temple to register, then get the same hairstyle as the God of Land and go begging for alms." Monks in the Yuan Dynasty had a high status. They were equivalent to a kind of alternative landlords. Moreover, monks did not need a pass to beg for alms. They could basically go wherever they wanted.

"When the time comes, we will choose the poorest places to beg for alms. Didn't the land god say that our targets are the semi-self-employed farmers, poor farmers, and peddlers? Those who can make it to the autumn harvest will be given rice seeds, and those who can't will be asked to come to our paradise."

"This time it's mainly for publicity, to find out the situation, and to recruit some useful talents. There won't be any real danger."

Zhu Chongliu looked at Zhu Chongba's passionate tone and knew that he could not persuade him, so he hurriedly instructed:
"Even if the pass problem is solved, you can't be careless. I heard that both the soldiers and the rebels are eager to kill innocent people for credit. Whether it's true or not, we should stay away from them."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his worried second brother and quickly agreed.

"Okay, let's not rush. Didn't the God of Land say that we should go to the nearest place first? Our village hasn't gotten such a good thing yet, so there's no need to rush."

Zhu Chongliu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this:

"Yes, yes, no hurry, no hurry, how about this, Chongba, haven't you always wanted to marry the girl from Wu Quezi's family? Why not pick a good day during this period and leave a seed first..."

Zhu Chongba's eyes twitched twice, and he refused righteously:
"Second brother! A man should have a wife! A man should make achievements and build a career, how can he be bound by such a love affair!"

Zhu Chongliu looked at his younger brother with a strange expression. Didn’t he ask him to propose marriage just two days ago?

Zhu Chongba curled his lips. When he came, the God of Land secretly told him about his affairs.

The God of Land has secretly calculated with us,

I'm going to be a couple with a lady from a wealthy family named Ma.

Can the person chosen by the gods be bad? No! So if you want to find someone, you should naturally look for the best one!

Zhu Yuanzhang felt like he was getting a little carried away and was already starting to pick his wife.

Zhu Chongliu sighed helplessly:

"Okay, you've had your own ideas since you were little, but you must put safety first and don't try to be tough in everything."

Zhu Chongba responded casually, but in his mind he had already begun to imagine the vision that Tianyu had described for him.

Celestial Dragon! Listen to this name, how domineering!

You are only responsible for having fun, not for working, and you don’t need to take any responsibility. Just thinking about it is exciting!

……

On the other side, Tianyu was lying comfortably on the sofa, with the midnight snack prepared for him by his third sister in front of him.

He stroked his chin, stared at the unfinished tea on the coffee table and muttered:

"I don't understand either. Can constitutional monarchy be successful in this era?"

"Putting productivity aside, what about the strategy of using the people to surround the landlords?"

"Tsk tsk, a single spark can start a prairie fire. Complete the spiritual construction at the grassroots level, and then solve the material needs through science."

"They created a god who was a savior, and then left the responsibility of governing the country to officials..."

Tianyu scratched his head and sighed.
"I should have taken the political science class seriously. Who knows I would need these things one day."

Then he placed the workbench in the living room.

"Forget it, let's find a way to make the crossbow first. The arrow-making table is one of the few workbenches for the villagers to use. A large number of Palu will be recruited soon, and I have to find some work for them..."

　Please give me a monthly ticket. Is there anyone who doesn't have one?
