"The people at the bottom are like nothing!"

Along the way, many villages were robbed, and the cries and howls were heartbreaking. This reminded Li Yuanying of the history of the country in his previous life, which was exactly the same.

He even has a bad feeling for the Japanese. In fact, it is difficult for anyone to have a good feeling for a group of thugs who only know how to plunder.

At the foot of Lingjiang City, it was obvious that Lingjiang City was under martial law at this time, and there were soldiers patrolling around.

After showing the disc, the gatekeepers let Li Yuanying go. Li Yuanying knew that Lingjiang City was well-defended and was a huge city, and the Japanese would definitely not pay attention to Lingjiang City.

But Li Yuanying was afraid that Li Rong would go out to play and spend the night outside the city, so he hurried to the Four Seas Escort.

When they arrived at the Four Seas Escort, the guards at the Escort knew Li Yuanying, and let Li Yuanying in after a few words of greeting.

After entering the courtyard of the Escort, Li Yuanying felt relieved when he saw that the Escort was as usual and the personnel were not panicked. Sure enough, in the backyard, Li Yuanying saw Li Rong who was in class with the little boy Wang Dongsheng.

The early childhood education in rich families is very early, and some children even finish literacy when they are more than four years old, and can basically read books.

The Wang family is backed by Qingyangguan and owns the business of the Four Seas Escort Bureau, so naturally there is no shortage of money to hire teachers.

Seeing that Li Rong was studying, Li Yuanying didn't bother Li Rong, no matter where he studied, it is possible to change his life, and ignorance is not even qualified to change his life.

"Brother Li!"

Hearing someone calling him, Li Yuanying turned his head and saw that it was Wang Yanyu.

"You came to see your sister!"

"I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her, so I came out to see her, but seeing her like this, thank you, Brother Wang!"

After Li Yuanying bowed, he thanked again and again.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not treat her badly!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Yuanying lost the laughter just now, and asked seriously:

"On the way here today, I saw many villages being slaughtered by the Japanese, and the government didn't come out to deal with it. How could this be?"

Hearing Li Yuanying's question, Wang Yanyu was silent for a long time, apparently knowing something, pulled Li Yuanying and said:

"This is not a place to talk, talk to me in the study."

With concerns in mind, the two did not speak much on the way.

The Wang family's study room is very bright, with a desk, a bed, and rows of bookshelves filled with books.

Li Yuanying entered the study and glanced around in surprise, never expecting that the Wang family established their family with martial arts, but the study has such a large scale.

Seeing Li Yuanying's eyes scanning the study room, Wang Yanyu smiled wryly and said with emotion:

"This was bought by my father. If you don't learn martial arts, it's far less beneficial than studying!"

After Li Yuanying heard this, he nodded. There are too few people who can achieve success in martial arts, and it is far worse than studying. Although they can't go to court, it is still possible to find a local official. The Wang family obviously understands this truth.

The Wang family not only understands this truth, but also knows the difficulty of martial arts because they are backed by the Qingyang Temple. Martial arts requires aptitude, and only top-notch aptitude can become a real person.

If top aptitude is one in a thousand miles, then this top aptitude child can set foot on martial arts, and the supply of resources is sufficient, and the probability of breakthrough is not too high, not to mention how many talents are unable to go because of birth, resources, etc. On the road of practicing martial arts...

Real people are rare, maybe one in a million, or even less.

"Brother Wang, tell me quickly!"

Li Yuanying couldn't wait, and urged repeatedly.

"Sit down, many big forces are well aware of this matter, but they can't put it on the table.

There are some things that are not worth mentioning, so you can just take them lightly, they are insignificant, but if they are serious, it will be a catastrophe! "

Saying that, Wang Yanyu lowered her voice and said solemnly:

"Brother Li, do you know the price of silk?"

"I know, usually around four to five silver coins!"

Li Yuanying replied that he just didn't understand what this had to do with silk.

"This is only the price in the mainland. If you sell silk to Southeast Asian countries, you can sell it for more than ten taels, but if you sell silk to white-skinned foreigners, it will be 15 taels, or even 20 taels of silver! Brother Li should understand that this is the price." What a profit!"

Wang Yanyu sighed, it's a pity that he is a dart runner, if he has land, he will also plant mulberry and silkworms, and sell silk.

20 taels!This is almost four times the price in the Mainland!After Li Yuanying calculated, he immediately understood that these villagers should have blocked the rich gentry's way of making money.

Silk needs mulberry trees, and mulberry planting needs fields. The land of the big gentry is limited, and they cannot plant all mulberry trees, otherwise there will be no food to eat.

This can only be done to the land of the free people. The free people are not fools. If they lose their land, they will probably starve to death. How can they sell it? This creates a conflict!

"Take the fields and plant mulberries!"

Li Yuanying gritted his teeth and said word by word. This operation immediately reminded Li Yuanying of the situation when the Li family was forced to sell their fields.

Otherwise, how can there be no need for tenant farmers if growing food, and mulberry farmers are different from grain farmers, and they do not need the scale of grain farmers at all.

"Speak carefully, speak carefully, brother Li, you just need to know, don't go out and talk nonsense."

Wang Yanyu held his mouth three times and tried to persuade him again and again.

Looking at Wang Yanyu's cautious appearance in front of him, Li Yuanying already speculated that many powerful forces not only knew about it, but probably participated in it, and even the officials let themselves go, as long as they paid the money.

After talking with Wang Yanyu, Li Yuanying met Li Rong, and after talking to each other, Li Yuanying went back with a heavy heart.

"If it is true, as Marx said in Capital, a [-]% profit can make people crazy and trample on human nature, not to mention that the profit from selling silk is more than tripled!"

Along the way, Li Yuanying was full of emotions, thinking of what happened to the Li family, and his relatives were forced to flee famine, which is not due to greedy human nature.

After returning to Qingyang Temple, Li Yuanying was more silent than before.

……

Two days later, the news of the Japanese massacre spread throughout Qingyang Temple, and some Taoists were crying, apparently their relatives were also among the victims.

"Uncle Master is going down the mountain to get rid of the Japanese!"

"My senior brother is also among them! I hope the Japanese can be driven away, and the Shengmin will not suffer disaster!"

"Hurry up, let's go to Shanmen Avenue to see them off!"

Several Taoist priests said one by one, and Li Yuanying, who was standing by the side, heard it, and followed these Taoist priests to Shanmen Avenue.

When we arrived at Shanmen Avenue, many people came to see us off, including Taoist priests big and small. Li Yuanying also stood aside and watched, and saw a line of Taoist priests lined up neatly, and other Taoist priests kept coming forward to say goodbye to him.

There are about 30 Taoist priests, most of them are middle-aged, and there are also a small number of young Taoist priests. They set off under the leadership of two old Taoist priests.

"Hey, isn't this the second senior brother?"

Li Yuanying suddenly saw a tall figure coming out from the side path, holding an iron rod with dragon pattern in his hand, joining the team of Taoist priests descending the mountain.

"Second Senior Brother!"

Li Yuanying shouted.

Hearing someone shouting, some Taoist priests in this group turned their heads to look, obviously these few were the second eldest.

Taoist Fat Tiger turned his head, saw Li Yuanying, turned to the team going down the mountain and said:

"Go down the mountain first, I'll be late!"

After all, Taoist Fat Tiger arrived in front of Li Yuanying in a few steps, and looked down at Li Yuanying who was like bean sprouts in front of him.

"Second senior brother, you also go down the mountain to kill the Japanese!"

"Yes, Junior Brother!"

Hearing that the Japanese were going to be killed, Taoist Fat Tiger had a serious face, but he suddenly remembered the old Taoist talk about Li Yuanying's performance in the Taoist Palace, and suddenly said with a serious face:

"Little brother, if you are not a senior, I want to reprimand you. I heard that you don't take morning classes seriously every day in the Dao Palace. Oh, you have to be more obedient. The fact that the master can accept you as an apprentice shows that your aptitude is no problem." , in the future, you must work hard to practice scriptures and martial arts, and don't waste the painstaking efforts of the master!"

Hearing Fat Tiger Taoist's persuasion, Li Yuanying was confused, thinking, can we still have a good chat, opened his mouth and shut up to talk about morning class, so he agreed with embarrassment:

"Yes, brother, you are right, brother will definitely change his past!"

Seeing Li Yuanying's promise, Taoist Fat Tiger shook his head helplessly. How could he not be clear about Li Yuanying's thoughts? He was even more extreme than this back then. He hasn't read all the scriptures yet, and he is focused on practicing martial arts.

"Do it yourself!"

After finishing speaking, Taoist Fat Tiger strode down the mountain gate.
