  Chapter 25 Lack of food

   Study room!

  Lin Ye served tea to the elder brother, while An Zisheng was left in the side hall of the front yard by Lin Ye.

   "Brother, thank you very much, I want to..."

   "Thank you for what. With the little money I gave you, you can't buy this house. Besides, the things you left me are more valuable."

  Eldest brother interrupted Lin Ye's words and replied meaningfully. Lin Ye smiled awkwardly and said, "That's my ancestral ointment. If elder brother needs it, I still have some."

   "This ointment is very effective, but you are not a member of our rebel army, and I can't ask you for nothing. As for spending money to buy it, we are also very short of money and food now."

   "Lack of money and food?"

   "Well, those gentry fled before we arrived, and the surplus food that could not be moved, these gentry and landowners were all burned in a big fire. I have no money to buy ointment from you now."

Lin Ye didn't expect that the gentry and landowners in other counties would do the same thing and burn all the grain. In this way, even if the senior brother and the others set up a territory to distribute the land to the poor people, the grain in the field would not grow overnight of.

But after thinking about Lin Ye, he wanted to understand the reason. The elder brother listened to his words and attacked the gentry and landlords, so those gentry and landlords naturally hated the elder brother and they would rather burn it than leave the food. Give them to Big Brother.

   "This trip is just to see you. After all, you also came out of Shangqingmen. Apart from you, I am the only one left in Shangqingmen."

  Brother's tone at the end was a little low, and Lin Ye's heart trembled. He knew that war would definitely kill people, but he didn't expect that senior brother would be the only one left in Shangqingmen.

  He doesn't have a particularly deep affection for the inner and outer disciples of the Shangqing Sect, including the handyman disciples, but after all, he has been together for a while, and there are vivid faces in his mind.

   "Have you practiced martial arts?"

  Feeling the depression of the atmosphere, the senior brother suddenly smiled, Lin Ye nodded, and replied, "I have practiced for a few days for the Tiger Roar Strength you gave me, senior brother."

   "You practice and let me see."

  Lin Ye knew that the big brother was going to give him advice, so he didn't hesitate, so he immediately set up his position and punched a set of punches.

   "The rhythm of exerting force in some places is wrong, and the posture is also a bit wrong. Slow down..."

  The elder brother walked up to Lin Ye and instructed Lin Ye step by step on how to exert strength, including the posture of punching and the adjustment of breathing.

   "Okay, follow my instructions and try again."

  With the guidance of the big brother, Lin Ye found that this time it was smoother than before, and the strength he could exert was much stronger than before.

"Yes, your talent in martial arts is not bad, but it's a pity that you don't have enough time to practice martial arts. I have a prescription here, which is an auxiliary medicine for practicing Tiger Roaring Strength." The elder brother took out a prescription from his cuff and handed it to Lin Ye. , and explained: "I didn't give it to you at the beginning, because the medicines in this prescription are relatively precious, and ordinary people can't afford to consume them."

Lin Ye understood what Eldest Brother meant. Medicinal materials are so precious that most people can't afford them. If Eldest Brother gave them to me, it would be fine if I had no money. Practicing martial arts, in the end, maybe the tiger's roar is not perfect, and you will go bankrupt first.

   And now the senior brother gave himself this prescription to see that he is not short of silver taels. Since he is not short of silver taels, he can naturally buy medicinal materials to cooperate with the cultivation of Tiger Roaring Strength.

   "There are many things in the military, so let's stop here for the old days."

  Lin Ye didn't ask senior brother to stay, because he knew that senior brother was really busy at this time, and it was time out of his busy schedule to be able to take time to meet him and teach him how to practice martial arts.

  Sending Elder Brother to the door, seeing Elder Brother and An Zisheng's backs disappearing at the entrance of the street, Lin Ye told Uncle Xu, "Don't open the door for the next two days."

  Even if there is an insurgent army to maintain order, there will always be some green-skinned hooligans who will take advantage of the fire to rob at this time. Lin Ye didn't want to cause trouble, so he simply lived his little life behind closed doors.

Because the city is unstable now, Lin Ye can't hang up the phone. After all, although he has some wisdom, he is only the most elementary. Once he encounters an emergency, he may not be so smooth in dealing with it. , if he hangs up and dies, there will be consequences, he'd better not try it.

  Lin Ye peacefully meditated and practiced martial arts in the back house until the third day, when someone knocked on the door.

   "Dawu, what's the matter?" Lin Ye watched Xu Bo leading Dawu in, and asked curiously after he stopped practicing martial arts.

   "Mr. Lin, I'm here to remind you, it's best to go out and hide for a while, or stay in our Taoist temple if you can't."

"what happened?"

  Staying at home and not going out, is it still in trouble?

"A commoner who lived in our Taoist temple before joined the rebel army. Today he came to report to our Taoist temple, saying that the number of the rebel army is very large now, and many people who cannot survive will join the rebel army, but the rebel army is not so big at all. There is a lot of food, I heard that the generals of the rebel army proposed to go to the homes of those big families to see if there is any food, and if there is any food, they will all be confiscated.”

  Lin Ye's face darkened, the worst happened.

His suggestion to the big brother is to attack the landlords, but it is not to drive those landlords to a desperate situation, but to let them distribute the land to the poor people. The poor people are naturally willing to follow the rebel army when they have land, but the premise is that the uprising The army still has food in its hands, but now those gentry and landlords burned the food and ran away with their belongings. The poor people want to join the rebel army one after another, not really supporting the rebel army, but just to have a stutter.

  The so-called big households left in the city are just some middle class, most of them are craftsmen and merchants, how much food can the family have, once these people are moved, the rebel army will lose the popular support.

   "Is Young Master Lin here?"

Outside the door, An Zisheng's voice came again. Before Lin Ye could respond, An Zisheng hurried in. Seeing Lin Ye and Dawu, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Big trouble."

  …

  After listening to An Zisheng's narration, Lin Ye finally realized why the rebel army encountered such trouble in a few days.

Many poor people poured into Shangyang County. Some of them came here because they heard that joining the rebel army would give them land, and some were coaxed by landlords and gentry from other counties. Faced with so many poor people, There were also differences within the rebel army.

  Some think that there is not enough food and cannot receive it, while others think that they must receive it. Doesn’t this just mean that their uprising is what the people want.

As for the lack of food, they searched door to door in the city. There would always be people hiding food in their homes, and some thought it was inappropriate. food.

As for why they didn't take the people to attack other counties, that's because the terrain in this area is a bit special. There is a river in the north of Shangyang County, and the boats were all burned. It takes time for the army to cross the river. These poor people are all used by the opposite side. Sent by boat.

   There are mountains and mountains to the east and west, but the south is a plain. However, the rebel army and officers and soldiers have been fighting fiercely in the south for several days, and they have never been able to capture another city.

   Originally choosing such an area to rebel was because of the geographical advantages. As long as this area is taken down, the terrain can gain time for development. Unexpectedly, it has become a hindrance now.

   "Several other generals have different opinions now. General Qiao alone may not be able to convince everyone."

  Listening to An Zisheng's anxious words, Lin Ye's expression fluctuated. The next moment, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he asked Dawu, "Dawu, is your master in the Taoist temple?"

"I'm here."

   "I'll go find your master." Lin Ye walked away, seeing An Zisheng's puzzled look, and said, "You wait here for me, I have something to tell you soon."

   View of the Breeze.

When Lin Ye saw Daoist Dingxuan, he didn't hesitate and said straight to the point: "Master Daoist, there is a shortage of food in the city. I can get food to alleviate the crisis, but I need a way to stabilize my soul, otherwise I won't be able to get enough food. .”

  Daoist Dingxuan listened to Lin Ye's words and looked at Lin Ye deeply for a while. He already knew that there was a shortage of food in the city. If there was no food, the city would be in chaos.

"wait for me here."

  Daoist Dingxuan turned and left. Lin Ye waited for a quarter of an hour before Daoist Dingxuan appeared again. His originally ruddy complexion turned pale.

   "Take this talisman and stick it on your body. Your soul will not be affected in any way within 12 hours."

   "Thank you, Daoist."

  Lin Ye solemnly took over the silver talisman from Daoist Dingxuan. He knew that Daoist Dingxuan probably paid a high price for painting this talisman.

  Turn around and leave!

   Just as Lin Ye walked to the entrance of the Taoist temple, Daoist Dingxuan's voice suddenly came: "My Qingfeng Temple is worshiped by the people, and I have hoarded a lot of food for many years. Today, seeing the lack of food in the city, I specially opened a warehouse to release the food."

  Lin Ye paused, turned his head to look at Daoist Dingxuan, the two looked at each other, and a silent tacit understanding was conveyed.

   "Thank you, Daoist."

  Lin Ye thanked him again, he understood the subtext in Daoist Ding Xuan's words.

With so much food, if I take it out by myself, I will inevitably be targeted. I believe that the elder brother will not betray me, so I can sneakily tell the elder brother where the grain is hidden, but the Taoist leader does not know the nature of the elder brother, so I think about it in the long run. In other words, if the big brother and the others fail in their uprising, the government will only look for Qingfengguan to settle accounts after autumn.

  The Taoist priest has shouldered all possible consequences for himself.
