Chapter 20 Grinding plate(1/2)
What does it feel like to change a sun in the sky?
The answer is simple: if it is the same as the previous sun, then there is no feeling.
This is true for the citizens of Revodan.
Everyone was watching in a daze as someone left the city and someone entered the city.
According to the most widely circulated and logical statement on the streets and alleys, the process of the matter is as follows:
The garrison officer went out of the city to suppress the bandits and died; the bandits entered the city and robbed them in chaos, and the new captain drove away the bandits and became the new garrison officer, okay.
The "new garrison" deliberately did not correct this perception, but instead strengthened it.
Because Winters' strategy to treat Gervodan is to "stay".
All he could use was four genuine officers - Moritz and Juan were not under his command.
And there are no more than two dozen people under his command who can read and write.
Winters knew very well that he did not have the ability to take over Revodan, nor did he have the will, nor did he have the need for this.
All he wants is stability and not to cause trouble.
The disadvantage of [also moving] is that it has "no feeling".
The citizens of Revodan did not feel anything, and naturally they would not have any recognition of the new regime.
Bread has to be eaten, work has to be done, and shops have to be opened.
What was like before and what is still like now? Everyone is in peace and keep living.
Not only did the citizens of Revodan feel it, but also the sixteen towns in Tiefeng County.
The farmers and villagers of Nanba Town also knew some news, and Beiba Town was not even aware that Revodan had changed his new owner.
But after discussing in the six-member group, Winters decided to notify everyone.
...
Tiefeng County, Qingfeng Town, Shibi Village.
Three cavalrymen rushed into the center of the village like lightning. The cavalry led by them held up a green flag, which meant that he brought important messages.
Following the familiar process, the three cavalrymen first found the village chief, rang the bell, and gathered the villagers.
Many villagers saw cavalry breaking into the village and hid in the forest around the village.
It takes some energy to get them all back.
The cavalry led by him did not waste this time. After dozens of people came to the village square, he found a carriage station to read the notice to the villagers of Shibi Village.
After reading, he posted the notice on the notice board in the village square, then got on his horse and left, heading to the next village.
After the cavalry left, the farmers who ran into the forest returned to the village one after another.
They gathered in the village square and looked at the signs on the signs.
The newly posted notice is particularly large in size, and a piece of paper accounts for half of the notice board.
Each letter written on it is also very large, as if you are afraid that readers will read it wrong.
There is also a huge lacquer mark in the lower right corner of the notice. Even the most foolish villagers understand the meaning of this lacquer mark: whoever dares to tear it around will be killed.
The only few people in the village who could read squeezed into the front of the notice and squinted their eyes to read to others.
...
Winters originally didn't plan to write a notice because he felt that the farmers could not read it, and it would be useless if they wrote it.
"You're wrong," Bard explained with a smile: "Most farmers can't read it, but there are always people in the village who can read it, and they can read it to others. The small leaflets printed with doctrines were one of the important means of the Garevins' absorbing believers back then. Don't worry, they can know what was written on the notice."
So Winters personally drafted a notice.
After reading it, Bud smiled even happier: "You can't use this grammar. There are literate people in the village, but they can only read it."
"I've used simple syntax as much as possible."
"Writing notices is not a light job. You have to write them according to the standards that an eight-year-old child can understand." Bard's smile became more and more: "To be concise, you must grasp the key points. Otherwise, before you finish listening, the previous content will be forgotten. It is best to be able to rhyme and be as catchy as a nursery rhyme."
Andrey, who was beside him, grunted, "I thought of a good word."
"What?"
Andre cleared his throat: "Eat his mother! Wear his mother! The blood wolf will not pay food when it comes!"
"No food!" Winters grabbed the straw paper into a ball and smashed it hard at Andre: "What do you eat if you don't pay food?"
"Are political commitments just for violation?" Andre said indifferently: "If we can really capture Fengshi City, can someone dare to ask why we need to pay food?"
"Okay, don't irritate him." Bud knew that the problem was actually on the "blood wolf".
Winters felt very wronged, really wronged.
He never called himself [Blood Man] or [Blood Wolf], nor was he the kind of soldier who was proud of his nickname of horror.
But for some reason, his nicknames were worse than the other, and the more he spread, the more he spread, the more evil he spread.
Captain Speyer once taught him a lesson, "If you don't want to follow a bad nickname for the rest of your life, you should avoid such messy things."
He didn't take this sentence to heart at that time, and now he regrets it.
On the third day after he entered the city, the various guilds of Revodan suddenly donated a large sum of money.
Winters was very happy at first, leaving behind the troubles outside the city and came to the city to thank the presidents of various guilds in person.
Until one of them let it go, saying that these were all money "given to Lord Blood Wolf".
Hearing this, Winters changed his face.
The man who spoke was too timid and was scared to be incontinent on the spot.
In the end, Bud cleaned up the mess for "Mr. Blood Wolf" and gave Winters a good lecture afterwards.
All in all, the last thing Winters wants to hear is the word "blood wolf".
"But this slogan is pretty good." Bard smiled and took the paper and pen: "It's changed to [eat and wear fuck, and don't pay food this fall."
...
Yegeni, who lives at the west end of Shibi Village, carefully stayed in the forest for a while.
It was confirmed that the cavalry holding the green flag did not come back, so he walked out of the forest, so he returned to the village late.
When he walked to the village square, he found that the villagers were gathering in the square and chatting in groups of three or five.
The notice has been read, and I have read it several times.
"What's going on? What's it?" Big-eyed Yegeni hurriedly found his neighbor, the fisherman and farmer [Ilia]
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I don't understand very well, either." Fisherman Ilia scratched the back of her head and said, "It seems that the garrison in the city has changed a new master."
"Have the village chief changed?"
"No."
"Have the mayor changed?"
“No, either.”
"Hey, the birds chirp, the master is going to be promoted, what does it have to do with our farmers?" Yegeni spat.
The farmers who still stayed in Shibi Village were all self-cultivated farmers. They had land and houses, and they could not escape like long-term workers or tenants.
In peace, the life of self-cultivated farmers is much better than the true bottom of rural society - landless farmers.
They can raise pigs, cattle and sheep, and even horses. They can eat meat from time to time and make surplus grains into private wine.
And now, they are just struggling to live.
But this does not mean that they are willing to endure exploitation, they just can't escape.
"The new master is very good, and he has exempted the food levy this fall." Ilia muttered: "Eat and wear fuck, and don't pay food this fall."
"Fuck it, go fuck!" Yegeni's big eyes widened even wider: "It's almost like planting winter wheat! It's still autumn! Besides, wasn't the city sent a grain collection team to harvest our wheat a while ago?"
Another farmer [Pushian] interrupted, "The new master also said he wanted to suppress the bandits."
"Which master doesn't say he wants to suppress the bandits? But who has really taken care of it? Aren't the bandits bullying us?" Yegani became more and more angry as he spoke. He stomped his feet hard: "Damn it! What a shit new master, it's his mother's same pants, it's just that the crotch is lifted back! Fuck!"
Although Yegeni's speech was dirty, it hit the sad things of several farmers around him.
Bandits, taxes, military disasters, farmers work hard to farm, but they are bullied all year round.
In Shibi Village alone, several self-cultivated farmers were forced to flee their homes and fled. I don’t know if they were soldiers, bandits, or died.
The farmers around were silent.
"By the way. The new master said that from now on, there will be no more [mill tax]!" Ilia happily told his neighbor: "Grind it casually, and you can do whatever you want, who wants to make it!"
Yenigan was stunned because there was really a hand-knit at his house.
"real?"
"Really! It's written on the notice!"
