The gentry and nobles in the feudal era can actually be described as a slightly elegant title, a carnivore.

But this meat-eating does not eat meat such as chicken, duck, cattle and sheep, but refers to the fact that they eat people's fat and paste, and everything about the common people. They do not eat people in the superficial sense, but eat all the wealth, labor, etc. of the common people.

Not to mention ancient China, this was the case for most periods. In every feudal dynasty, whether in the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasty, from the first day of its establishment, gentry and nobles continued to engage in annexation of land, slaughter and other behaviors until the dynasty collapsed. Such behaviors never stopped.

It is the same in Western civilization, and it may even be even more cruel. In Western history, the Roman Republic, which was talked about by countless people, was in the BC era, and there were citizen elections, operations to protect the interests of the people, separation of powers, etc. At a glance, was the Roman Republic BC a paradise on earth? It was a model of civilization in the old era? No, at a glance, it seemed to be democracy. In fact, the Roman Republic BC was slavery! Slavery!

The Roman Republic was divided into three levels, citizens, civilians, and slaves!

Just look at the division of third-class humans and you will know that the election and being elected are just nonsense. It is no different from the Western Zhou Dynasty when the people could be divided into Chinese people, savages, etc. It should be noted that the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty also had certain rights to participate in politics.

This class, specifically at the Xiuyan Prefecture of Lu State, began to annex the land from the moment Lu State was established, and gentry, officials, etc., to make generations of self-cultivated farmers, small landlords and others go bankrupt, so that they can own more land and more slaves.

No matter how the gentry of Xiuyan Prefecture operated, in this generation, when the Mo workers built the Lishui water system, the gentry just watched it. When the Mo workers and the Mo farmers did not leave, they still did not do anything. When Zhao Bailing and other large troops left, they would act immediately. How to annex the land, whether they were them or their ancestors, had countless tricks to use.

With a bumper harvest of food, everyone has food in their hands, and the idiom that low grains hurt farmers can still appear, which is enough to witness their routines and moral integrity.

Not to mention the disaster year, that trick can be played even more.

When Zhao Bailing was silent, the local mon farmer who spoke said happily, "Although our research has not achieved any major results, the common people of Xiuyan Mansion are still living in a difficult life, but this time, Zhao Bailing you led the crowd to arrive. As long as you arrive, those gentry and powerful people will not dare to do too much."

Compared with the Mo family's size, even the entire Lu State is not enough. How can we just talk about the gentry and powerful people in Xiuyan Mansion? As long as someone in the Mo family stands here, their status does not need to be too high. One or two chief and deputy chief leaders and deputy leaders will watch. They took advantage of the disaster year to hoard food and raise the price of grain to force the people to sell their children and daughters for a bite of food, and sell their bodies as slaves, which will greatly reduce.

As for some locally born moist people? The locally-made moist people are too light, and they are all suffering from some local land loss. Last time Zhao Bailing and others came to build water conservancy to help the people spread various ways of deep cultivation and meticulous work, they developed from the masses.

In a short period of time, they were well-known by the local gentry and powerful people, and they had no deterrent power.

Only outsiders like Zhao Bailing can communicate with the five hundred leaders, the Qiannong Orders, and even the five hundred leaders and Qiannxia Orders in Moxia will make the gentry afraid of it as a tiger.

Let's put it this way, if they dare to do things too much, Zhao Bailing will contact the five hundred chiefs of a Mo Hero, and the other party will lead the five hundred Mo Heroes to Xiuyan Mansion, which will easily defeat the gentry and powerful people of Xiuyan Mansion.

This does not mean that the gentry and powerful people in Xiuyan Prefecture cannot gather 500 elite soldiers. Even the Li family, Xu family and others in Xuecheng can easily pull out 200 elite soldiers. If there is enough time, they can pull up thousands of people, let alone the gentry of Xiuyan Prefecture, as the prefecture of Xiuyan Prefecture, the local gentry here has stronger strength and more abundant foundation.

But, if you believe it or not, your morale will plummet to negative value when the war begins? Even if thousands of private soldiers gather together, they will look spectacular and mighty, Mo Xia will charge forward, and before the two soldiers hand over, the private soldiers of the gentry will be defeated directly, which is not rare.

The Mohist school has been spread in the Tianyu Star for thousands of years and talks about prestige. Whether it is emperors or the people, it has reached a limit.

Under the joyful words of the local ink master, Zhao Bailing sighed to the sky, "This is the only way to do it for the time being."

For the time being, relying on the prestige of the Mohist family, the disaster here will become less cruel.

In the long run, no matter how large the Mo family is, it faces thousands of gentry and powerful groups. That group has been unchanged for thousands of years and has been doing things. They are helpless, not to mention that even the Mo family will appear at any time, betraying the Mo family's intentions for power, wealth, beauty, etc.

Even Zhao Bailing knew that it was not a solution to keep doing this. If this continues, it would be nothing more than to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. He couldn't help but have strange thoughts. If a country could appear in the world that was purely ruled by the Mo, then the hardships of the people would be completely eliminated.

Zhao Bailing has been traveling around in the State of Lu in recent years, and even Liu Guo, who often fights with the Principality of Wentra, has built water conservancy and helped farmers popularize various farming methods... He really doesn't know that even the modern giant Yang An planned a major event to leave the empire and build the Mohist Kingdom. It was nothing more than that big event, which was rewritten by Su Heng.

"Zhang Yuan, go and notify Wu Bailing of the Mo Xiazhe, be sure to let him take a hundred Mo Xia to arrive at Xiuyan Mansion as soon as possible. Without Mo Xia in charge, we want to shock the local tyrants, and we don't have that much confidence."

When Zhao Bailing spoke again, he directly issued an order. Mo Nong, who was named by him, immediately nodded and left.

In fact, in Lu, there were not many Mo Heroes, with less than 1,000 people in total. On the contrary, Liu, who had frequent wars, had a total of four or five thousand Mo Heroes, often helped Liu, fight against Wentra's Bingfeng. In the Xiuyan Prefecture, there was only one Mo Hero that Zhao Bailing could think of. Wu Bailing, who had been leading the team to fight against the pirates around Xiuyan Prefecture.

Killing pirates is very important, but it is less eye-catching if compared with the future of the 200,000 to 300,000 civilians in Xiuyan Prefecture.

Watching Zhang Yuan leave, Zhao Bailing waved again, "Return to the city, I want to meet with the big grain merchants in Xiuyan Mansion one by one, and strive to reduce the price of grain."

Needless to ask, in such a drought season, it is absolutely inevitable that grain merchants will rush prices. Only by making the people unable to afford food and in order to survive, they will sell themselves as slaves.

He also hopes to use the prestige of the Mo family to intimidate the grain merchants so that they should not be too unscrupulous.
