The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Chapter 211 Li Jize shocked the girl

So...

Zhang Xiaolan looked at Wang Yuanya coldly and said, "Yuanya, what did I tell you before? Don't forget your identity and position!"

She is an envoy representing the rebel army, so why is she so upset now?

"But……"

Wang Yuanya opened her mouth and looked at the families in front of her who were reunited and happy, and she began to feel indignant again.

This kind of resentment is like taking a wrong turn! What you are desperately looking for is actually right in front of you, but it is what you have missed.

I feel uncomfortable with my previous stupidity and efforts!

"Yuan Ya, didn't you see the endless stream of merchant ships on the Tianjiang River before you came here?"

"This……"

Wang Yuanya did think that Li Jize would pay the "freight" and be responsible for delivering firearms to their rebel army.

This was obtained by using her "marital love".

"Yuan Ya, you only saw Li Jize's ships carrying gunpowder, but what you didn't see was... they were transporting ship after ship of food for the people under our rule to Qingzhou! Since ancient times, every dynasty has hated those who engage in business! They are a bunch of termites and leeches, sucking the blood of others, enriching themselves but ruining others! Li Jize ruled the country through commerce, and he will surely suffer retribution."

That’s right! Wang Yuanya reacted immediately. After all, she was an educated person.

Throughout the dynasties, who has established a country based on commerce?

Because emperors of all dynasties knew that food is the most important thing for the people. If everyone goes into business, who will farm the land?

For those in power, people who do business do business and individuals make money from others.

But for the imperial court, it was just the money being moved from the left pocket to the right pocket. There were only so many coins minted by the imperial court.

But farming is different. This thing is output, and its quantity changes.

Therefore, everyone hates people who do business, so the imperial court wants to suppress them.

The reason why Li Jize can take advantage now is that the court is divided. He did other people's business and fattened up his Qingzhou.

Once the land of China is unified again, his behavior will be tantamount to seeking death!

Of course, humans are unable to guess or imagine things they have not seen before, and their limitations are there.

Because Li Jize can do business internally, he can also do business externally. There are so many countries in this world! If all else fails, he can still plunder other countries.

But Wang Yuanya couldn't see all this. She was really moved by Zhang Xiaolan's words and felt uncomfortable all over.

why?

Because Li Jize was still a "sage" image the moment before, he allowed the people of Qingzhou to eat rice and meat.

But after Zhang Xiaolan said this, it turned out that behind the image of the saint was greed, plunder and bloodsucking.

He sucked other people's blood to replenish himself, and the people being sucked were their fellow rebels and civilians.

Ouch! I'm so angry!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and said, "This Li Jize... he... why is he becoming more and more unruly? He talks about universal peace, but in reality, he treats the people like nobody's business!"

Zhang Xiaolan nodded. "The way of heaven is to take from the excess and give to the deficiency. This is a theorem in itself! Li Jize must have plundered others to gain wealth! Otherwise, how could wealth appear out of thin air?"

The guide boy and Wang Yuanya who had been accompanying her turned their heads at the same time and looked at her directly, looking so surprised!

Wow! This girl is quite knowledgeable.

Indeed! This is the way to survive in troubled times: if you don't plunder others, you will be plundered by others.

If you want the people to live a good life, the only way is to plunder!

The only difference is that war is violent plunder, while business is peaceful plunder.

Only children make choices, but Li Jize wants both.

"Damn it! Li Jize, ah Li Jize, I really overestimated you!"

Wang Yuanya clenched her fists again and gritted her teeth, becoming angry again about the feeling that Li Jize had just raised.

Zhang Xiaolan: “…”

This woman is really... To put it nicely, she dares to love and hate. To put it bluntly, she is stubborn. When she thinks you are good, she is very good! But when she thinks you are not good, she really wants to bite you to death.

Is it really okay for her to say this about his boss in front of the "guide"?

It's only because of your identity as "Princess Qin" that people dare not say anything and can only pretend not to hear.

If it were someone else, he would have been thrown into jail by now.

"Cough cough cough..."

Fearing that this would cause trouble for her, Zhang Xiaolan coughed and whispered again, "Yuan Ya! I have to remind you again, be aware of your status and don't act rashly, okay? Especially right now, we desperately need Li Jize's gunpowder and ammunition."

The lethality of firearms increased in the era, but there was one downside: it was highly dependent on logistics!

Their rebel army purchased muskets and cannons from Li Jize, but at the same time they also became Li Jize's "money bag". As long as the war continued, the rebel army would not dare to turn against Li Jize.

If they turn against each other and Li Jize cuts off their gunpowder and bullets, how can they fight this war?

It seems that no one in the Americas of later generations truly understands war better than them! Adding fuel to the fire!

Wang Yuanya gritted her teeth and nodded. Of course, she also knew what Li Jize meant to the rebel brothers.

This is a life-saving straw!

But at the same time, because of this, their rebel army could not offend Li Jize, so they let him suck their blood openly.

You know this, but you can't turn your back on him. You have to beg him to continue sucking your blood...

This is probably the most painful thing in life!

Li Jize, Li Jize, you really look like what Buddhists call a "devil."

"Cough cough cough..."

It was almost time for dinner, but the two of them were still discussing. The younger brother next to them couldn't help but cough.

"Guys, I think it's almost time, right? If we don't get back soon, we might miss dinner!"

After the guide said this, they realized that they had just made an excuse to eat something, but in fact they were investigating the food supply of the people in Qingzhou.

But they were so shocked by seeing a life with rice and meat that they had forgotten all about it.

The young man reminded everyone that they hadn't eaten yet, so they should hurry up and eat.

Invisibly, it exposed their lies, making them both feel embarrassed.

When they wanted to eat something, they suddenly found that they no longer had any desire to eat.

It’s because everything that happened and saw today was too shocking.

Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan both had a vague yet clear understanding...

Who is Li Jize? Why is his style so completely out of touch with the times? It's so elusive, so unfathomable, so unimaginable.
