Mysterious Catastrophe

This is also the reason why the peasant uprising army encountered officers and soldiers in the early stage, even if 1 people were chased and beaten by [-].

Equipment, physical strength, and training are not as good as others, and it is normal for the battle damage ratio to be ugly.

"Wait...why did I want to rebel in the first place? Just because I'm called Fang La?"

Aaron dragged his tired body and walked down the stream.

According to the experience of the mountain people, walking in this way can often get out of the deep mountains and come to a place where there are people.

"Whoosh..."

The straw sandals on the feet were a little bit abrasive, and the skin was painful, and the skin might be torn and bleeding.

But Aaron looked at the sky and didn't dare to stop.

He is just an ordinary person!

Staying in the deep mountains and old forests in the dark, even the old hunters have to be careful, maybe they accidentally feed the wolves!

While trekking, Aaron silently sorted out Fang La's memory.

This boy is just an ordinary farmer. In this place where some ordinary farmers never go out of the country, he can go to the town of Luzhouji to go to the market, which is considered relatively broad-minded.

Even so, it seems that no real strange people have been seen.

Instead, I heard that some Jianghu heroes, because they committed crimes, were arrested easily with a few police officers.

And some big tycoons in the green forest are thinking of recruiting safety and acting as dogs for the court, but it is difficult to get even a ninth-rank inspector!

"Looks like it's not a world of low-level martial arts...the people in the f*cking martial arts are too miserable..."

But Aaron also knew the importance of being an official.

In ancient feudal society, with an official status, one is a master!

Not to mention officials, even a small official can be domineering in the countryside, especially the tax collectors and household officials, a little bit of manipulation, changing the documents, can bankrupt a small peasant family, and even turn the whole family into half-slave tenants!

Even if they are not registered officials, but just helpers hired by the government, they can run rampant and blackmail the village!

"All in all... finding a way to practice martial arts locally seems to be a dead end."

Aaron sighed and thought of other aspects.

There is also Buddhism and Taoism in this world, but is it effective?

It should have no power to manifest the holiness.

At least, Fang La has never heard any rumors of the birth of a true immortal or a true Buddha.

On the contrary, there are some low-level low-level people who have no Taoist or Buddhist books to bluff and deceive, and they are caught by the government and soaked in cesspit, and then beheaded or exiled abound.

The so-called sorcery is often based on deception and blindfolding.

After thinking about this, Aaron was shocked:

'It seems... came to an ancient society without demons? '

'If I can still connect to the main body and get spiritual support, wouldn't I just kill indiscriminately? '

'Unfortunately...it doesn't seem to work. '

Only when there were some flaws in the last world, the body can regularly support part of the spirituality.

But in this world, the law is so strict that Aaron has nowhere to use it.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad.

Just when Aaron's mind was full of thoughts, he climbed a gravel slope, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

At some point, he finally walked out of the deep mountains and came to a gentle land.

Not far away, there are farmlands built by the water, smoke from several farmhouses, farmers working in the fields, and peasant women with children...

After being reincarnated several times, now the world is changed again!

Chapter 781

As soon as he saw the crowd, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked on the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and finally arrived at his home.

It is said to be a home, but it is actually a residence made up of several shacks, which can neither block the wind nor completely block the rain.

In front of the shack, there is a vegetable garden in which some vegetables are grown.

An old farmer with a hunched back carrying a hoe walked by and said hello, "Brother La... are you back?"

"Well, I'm back."

Aaron nodded in greeting.

"Ah... If you want me to say that young people should not be so lofty, the old people have read the official notices in the market... Strange flowers and stones, cherish birds and beasts, and you can get away with corvee with just one... How can it be that simple? of?"

The old farmer sighed as he walked: "Instead of looking for those, it is better to take good care of our own land... In our whole life, we have only seen this field live up to the people who deal with it every day..."

Aaron closed the fence gate, looked at the back of the old farmer, and shook his head secretly.

corvee!

The labor labor unique to the ancient feudal society, adult men bring their own dry food and obey the government to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction.

The most important thing is... no pay at all!

Because of the heavy work, many people died of exhaustion, illness and death. Generally speaking, the strong laborers who came back from hard labor often lost a lot of weight, and even lost their shape due to exhaustion, and suffered a serious illness!

Not to mention the possibility of delaying the farming season!

This is the most terrible thing!

Aaron recalled that in the past few years, although the government also provided forced labor, it still gave the people a little breathing space.

However, in the past two years, the pressure from the government has become more and more severe, and they have not taken into account issues such as farming seasons, which has caused the people to flee famine.

"A sign of troubled times..."

'Or...or should I rebel? '

Aaron looked at the rice vat and found that there was only a thin layer left, and there was nothing in the dilapidated house, so he thought to himself.

'But I don't have the strength... If I have extraordinary power, maybe I can do it... Now a small farmer, what can I do?No one is listening...'

"It's too dangerous. I still cherish this little life..."

'However, if you are an obedient citizen and go to corvée, your body will not be able to bear it. The farming season will be delayed, the harvest will be bad, and you will still be hungry...'

"That's why my predecessor tried every means to avoid hard labor..."

Aaron poured himself a bowl of water from a mason jar with a corner missing, and drank slowly.

Combining the memories of his previous life, he probably thought of several ways.

First, of course it is the imperial examination, from Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi all the way up, as long as you pass the examination of Xiucai, you can be exempted from corvee!

'But I have no money to study, and I have no connections...Take a step back, even if I still have a little spirituality of the 'tower', I can remember it with a photographic memory, and my wisdom is wide open...It is too late to pass the exam all the way to the scholar Yes. '

'This veto! '

The second is to work as a tenant for a big family, take shelter from the local tyrants, and even hide your household registration. Without your household registration, you will not be listed in the official yellow book, so naturally you will not have to pay taxes or serve corvee.

For example, in the Luzhou Collection, there is a big family "Gujia". The previous generations were just small landlords. Until this generation came out with a master, they immediately sold themselves, took refuge, and swindled, and became rich in an instant. Sweeping taxes and taxes can be regarded as a local tyrant.

It is said that the ruling class in ancient times was not stupid. For example, Dasong clearly stipulated that the tax-free land should not exceed [-] mu. If it exceeded the limit, it would still have to pay taxes and labor.

However, when it comes to the actual implementation stage, especially in today's era, no one cares at all!

'It's just... I don't want to be a slave to others, this is fine...'

The third article is to collude with officials and take advantage of policy loopholes. After all, there are always loopholes in official laws for exemption.

Don't even think about this one, it's not for Aaron.

Article [-], to be a Taoist priest or monk, one must also have a formal possession of Taoist records and monk registration, that is, one who has a Taoist book and a certificate.

And the ordinary price?It is about two hundred taels of money, and the usual money is about one thousand taels of silver, which is equivalent to one tael of silver, which is 200 taels of silver.

Killing Aaron would not pay so much money!

"I didn't expect...a penny can stump a hero...Although I wasn't stumped by a penny, I was stumped by 20 pennies..."

Aaron tapped his forehead: "Could it be... the last resort?"

The last solution is very simple and suitable for poor people, that is to run!

Abandoning family and business and fleeing into the mountains, what can the emperor do to me?

It's just that this run immediately became a criminal, not to mention these property, and even the few acres of land that farmers value most at this time, will all be gone...

Aaron thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the deep mountains and old forests are dangerous and the mountain people are cruel and treacherous, he actually thinks this method is quite good.

After all, he is a bachelor, and he can leave as soon as he wants, without any drag.

As for this field?Big deal sell...

He is not the previous farmer Fang La, how much he attaches importance to this property.

"If you want to cut the meat to stop the loss, you have to sell the field. Anyway, the son sells the land and the father doesn't feel bad..."

"But if you want to catch people by surprise, you still can't make too many small moves. After all, if you are single and then sell the land, everyone will know that you are going to run away..."

'And it's not convenient to go to the deep mountains, lack of salt and medicinal materials...'

With decades of experience as a mortal in the world of cultivating immortals, Aaron is familiar with it.

The mountains are bitter, miasma and poisonous insects are abundant, easy to get sick, and there is a lack of salt. If it is not really impossible to survive, which farmer on the plain is willing to flee to the deep mountains to become troublemakers?

"Hey, I hate that I'm just an ordinary person now! Otherwise, the means will be more than this..."

After much deliberation, but with no results, Aaron walked out of the thatched hut, ready to pluck two vegetables for dinner.

At this time, another man with simple features, dark and rough skin passed by outside the fence. When he saw Aaron, he was shocked: "Ah...you...you are Fang La? I saw you fall off the cliff with my own eyes. ...how are you here?"

"So it's Tuesday, you..."

Aaron's heart moved slightly. He didn't expect this trouble, but his expression remained the same: "I was lucky. I was caught by a tree branch in the air. I didn't fall to death, but I was injured a little. Wouldn't I be back now?"

"Oh, that's what it is..."

On Tuesday, the cow touched his head, and when he returned home, his face immediately became ashen.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, his wife Zhou immediately came over and poured him a bowl of water.

This man is the pillar of the family, so nothing can happen.

"Evil... evil... Let me tell you, that Fang La fell off the cliff, it was 'Eagle Sorrow Cliff', he was so bald that even an eagle could hardly get off his legs, he was fine... No... I met a ghost !"

Speaking of this, the hand holding the bowl was shaking on Tuesday.

People in this era, regardless of whether they are high-level or low-level, generally still believe in the theory of immortals.

"In that case..."

Mrs. Zhou thought for a while, but said: "I think that Fang La is usually a kind person. You can help me a little bit. After all, those who can get help from ghosts, gods and mountain spirits are definitely not ordinary people. Maybe they can do something great. ..."

Newton suddenly moved on Tuesday!

……

night.

Aaron, who was finishing messing with his stomach, suddenly changed his expression: "This is..."

Chapter 782 Li Zheng

The night was dark.

Wisps of moonlight and starlight shine into the room through the windows.

Well, Fang La's family doesn't have oil lamps, and they can't afford lamp oil.

At night, they usually take advantage of the moonlight or directly sleep.
