Chapter 944 The General Trend

With the prosperity of the Daji Dynasty, if the outside world does not interfere, it will only be a matter of time to unify the continent and assimilate the northern barbarians.

Not to mention, under the background of the world's promotion, the origin of the world is promoting the integration of forces to resist the possible invasion of demons in the future.

In fact, this is also the root of the seven dynasties, including the Daji Dynasty, that can grow step by step and gradually grow stronger.

The Taoist sects in the upper realm sent disciples like Wu Yi to the Daji Dynasty to disrupt the dynasty's promotion. To some extent, it is contrary to the will of the world.

In the face of the righteousness of the world's promotion and maintaining their own power, the Taoist sects said the former hypocritically and chose the latter honestly.

If after the world is promoted, humanity becomes the mainstream of the world, and all matters of immortal cultivation need to be controlled by the emperor of humanity, then what is there to be detached from, it is better not to be promoted!

Yes, this is the view of many immortal masters, and then they made their own choices.

Due to his status, Wu Yi had no other choice but to obey. However, from the bottom of his heart, Wu Yi was also born as a monk, and he also did not want to see the rise of humanity, so he would not reject it.

People are class creatures. The more they know, the more they will act according to their class. On the contrary, those "ignorant" lower classes often do things that violate their class. Most of the righteous are butchers, and most of the unfaithful are scholars. That's it.

The Daji Dynasty will definitely seek to unify the continent. This is the general trend of heaven and earth. Even if he didn't hear it from the book boy, Wu Yi could guess this. The only question is when to unify, how many troops to send, and under what name to send troops?

In fact, the Taoist boy is just a servant. Because he is beside Liu Bingzhong, he knows a little bit, but it is impossible for him to touch the core.

"However, if the dynasty is really preparing for war in secret and has deployed troops, then this civil uprising still needs to be planned!" Wu Yi didn't want to incite a civil uprising with great difficulty, but it was finally put out by the magnificent army in an instant. He didn't seek victory, but wanted to fight for justice.

With a head full of thoughts, Wu Yi left Yangmin Prefecture and returned to Chenliu County. From prosperity to depression, from liveliness to indifference, they are all under the rule of a country, and the difference is only a few hundred miles, but there is such a big difference.

Although there are differences between the prefecture and the county, putting those aside, it must be said that the quality of the administration of a place directly affects the prosperity of a place.

His figure disappeared in the air, and the entire urban and rural areas of Chenliu County were in front of him. Wu Yi looked down and wanted to find Shen Congyue's figure.

Not long after, Wu Yi found Shen Congyue and met again. Wu Yi never expected that he would meet Shen Congyue in a small temple, which was Shen Congyue's own temple.

This small temple, at the corner of the mountain, is extremely inconspicuous. There is no plaque, no couplets, and even the statues inside are extremely rough, like paper paste, which will break at the touch. If the walls were not relatively new, it would be regarded as a long-abandoned land temple.

In fact, this was Wu Yi's first thought when he saw the temple. If it were not for the fact that Shen Congyue's aura inside could not be faked, Wu Yi would have suspected that someone was deliberately disguising and trying to deceive himself.

It was noon, and there was no one near the small temple. Ordinary people worshiped in the evening or early morning. At noon, ordinary people were working.

Poor people at the bottom of the society had no money, so where did they get three meals a day? They only had two meals a day, morning and evening. It was good to have a pancake at noon.

The daily farm work was heavy, and the diet was extremely light, without oil and water. Many farmers, in their twenties and thirties, looked like they were in their fifties or sixties.

The most unbearable thing is that after natural disasters, the government does not exempt taxes, but even forcibly collects taxes, and the taxes are levied layer by layer, with a lot of miscellaneous taxes.

Passing by the fields, many people are pale and thin, and many women are searching for shriveled ears of grain on the scorched land.

The most pitiful person Wu Yi saw was a black-faced woman, thin and weak, holding one in her hand, carrying one on her back, and hanging one on her chest, begging for daily meals everywhere. Her husband didn't know what he was doing, and the burden of the family was all on this woman.

The woman asked around, but the harvest was very few, not even a handful. She had no choice but to look at the wild vegetables in the mountains and forests. The fresh and delicious wild vegetables were gone long ago. They were picked by people from all directions, leaving only some bitter and dry wild grasses and some tree barks.

She sighed helplessly, lifted the child on her chest, squatted down, grabbed a handful of wild vegetables, and staggered away, and she might fall down at any time.

Wu Yi just watched her leave. With his current temperament, he couldn't remain calm, but it was impossible to make Wu Yi angry.

Shen Congyue appeared under the shade of the tree, and didn't look at Wu Yi. His eyes also fell on the woman and said: "This is the sister-in-law of the Wang family in Dali Village. Her husband joined the army three months ago."

Then, there was no more. What should be said was said, and what shouldn't be said was left unsaid.

The law of the Daji Dynasty treated military families with courtesy, but no matter how good the law was, someone had to enforce it. The money and grain from above were distributed truthfully, and when it fell to the grassroots, the geese plucked feathers. Other counties still had a way of eating, but Chenliu County didn't even want to be proud, and evaded the government by saying that there was a severe drought this year and the country had no grain to distribute.

The lower-level people had no news channels, and many people had never left the county in their lives. How could they know what was going on in the court? They believed what the government said.

In the end, all the resentment from the bottom converged to the highest level of the central government. On ordinary days, the rivers and seas were peaceful and the world was peaceful. Once someone rose up, it would be like a cloud following the shadows, and the dynasty would change.

The Daji Dynasty has been promoting open government for some time, but due to resistance from all sides, it has been delayed. Some officials even shamelessly said that the people were illiterate and they would not understand it if it was made public.

Some officials also turned the tables and said that the people were stupid and that it would be detrimental to the promotion of government affairs if they knew about it. Listen, is this human language?

Of course, they would not directly say that the people were stupid, but would change the way they said it, such as the education level needs to be observed, the government level needs to be studied, etc., which are essentially the same.

There is really no other way, so they fiddled with grammar, used rhetoric, and wrote a 100,000-word article, which is 99% nonsense, and used political terms to wear out the patience of ordinary people. In the final analysis, they just don't want the people to participate in politics.

But then again, the people's distrust of the government is deep-rooted, and refusing to read government orders is also a failure. They still need to take the initiative to participate.

"This is the general trend! This is the general trend!" Wu Yi narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
