Chapter 1296 Everyone Is Like a Demon

So many of them rushed forward, but human immortals have their limits after all. No matter how fierce the demons are, they have to follow the rules and laws of the human world. They cannot have unlimited mana and cannot kill all of them before their mana is exhausted.

As for death, they are not afraid of death after having the sacred promise of the immortals and Buddhas in the upper realm.

As for the matter of immortals and Buddhas breaking their promises, in their realm, every word and action is cause and effect, and there is a free destiny in the dark. If they break their promises, they will have backlash in the future.

However, although they have confidence, they are still frightened by the weather in the southern wilderness.

Therefore, they found a direction and went directly to the nearest village, and then used a sleight of hand to enter the village.

With the ability of human immortals, they cannot confuse the nobles who carry a lot of luck, nor can they confuse the officials who are protected by the luck of the dynasty, but they are more than enough to confuse some ordinary villagers.

There are quite a few people in this village. Now is the slack season for farming, but there are almost no people in every household.

When we walked a little further inside, we could finally hear voices. It was a large group of men gathered together, mostly middle-aged men. These people were squatting obediently in a newly built large house, listening to a young man's lecture.

But the content of the lecture was not the teachings of sages, but how to plant the land.

Teaching a group of farmers how to plant the land does sound a bit magical, but the reality is that the farmers of this era plant the land based on the long-term exploration and the experience passed down, which is mostly passed down from father to son. There is no unified standard. The outside world shows that everyone's planting method is different, whether it is watering, fertilizing or weeding, it seems to be uneven, and the final yield is also very different.

The young man who gave the lecture was an agricultural official, and he was not the kind of person who could only talk on paper. What he taught was not only how to plant the land, but also how to compost, how to prevent pests, how to improve soil fertility, and the use of various new agricultural tools, the digging and arrangement of ditches...

And so on.

In the past, the development of tools was actually very slow. Even if there were inventions and innovations, unless you met a king with a pioneering and enterprising spirit, if you met a king who maintained the status quo, if you really invented a tool that could double the grain output or save half of the manpower, it is likely that you would not get credit, but would be directly killed with all your clans.

For the monarchs of feudal dynasties, their most important goal could never be to make the people rich and every household have surplus food, but to maintain the rule of the court, and stability would always be ranked first.

If the grain output doubled, it would mean that the people no longer had to fight for survival, and they would have spare energy. Once they had spare energy, they would easily think about other things, which was not conducive to the rule of the court.

If there were tools that saved half of the manpower, the court used to use labor to consume the excess manpower, leaving people no time to think, so as to directly prevent the emergence of unrest. Now that there is suddenly half more manpower, if it cannot be consumed, it will undoubtedly sow the seeds for disaster.

At the same time, the fundamental purpose of controlling the spread of knowledge and setting a higher threshold for reading and literacy is to maintain rule.

Oxen and horses don't know they are oxen and horses, so they can endure hardships. They will feel that they are not working hard enough until they die, but if they know it, they will definitely rebel one day.

"As for this farm tool, in fact, more than 500 years ago, someone made something similar. Later, he reported it to the court and exterminated six clans. The court said that he had evil intentions."

Dong Yue Taoist took a look at some things hanging in the house and said lightly.

"In this world, only if there is a certain amount of food can we achieve stability. If there is too much and we can't eat it all, it will hurt farmers because the grain is cheap. This is the way to death!"

While talking, several people continued to walk inside.

After a few dozen steps, it was a bigger house. Unlike the people in the previous house, people in this house were separated by a lot, but all the people working inside were children. The oldest was twelve or twelve years old, and the youngest was only four or five years old.

On the platform in the front, there was an old man teaching children to read and write.

One teacher and more than a hundred children, the conditions are undoubtedly very difficult, but in the current situation in the South Wilderness, it is already very difficult for a village to have a teacher.

After all, the literati of this era always have an inexplicable arrogance, and most of them disdain to associate with ordinary people, especially mud legs and people from poor families. If they get close, they will feel that they are contaminated with bad luck.

These scholars are born to believe that everything is inferior, only reading is high, so they look down on those who don’t read.

And teaching ordinary people to read and write is even more regarded as an insult by these people.

Of course, that was all before. In front of guns and cannons, no matter how noble a person is, he has to kneel down.

For those who don’t obey the king, Zhao Cheng directly sent them to mine and do death labor, that is, the kind of labor that lasts a lifetime, the real never-ending day, and when they figure it out, they will be given freedom.

In this case, the literati with the hardest bones persisted for ten days, and as for more, they were just hard-mouthed, and the fastest half a day, the slow three days, and they couldn’t hold on.

The so-called character of scholars is a joke.

And later, when they teach people, if they are not attentive and are reported for hiding something, they will go back to mining.

If this happens three times in a row, there will be no need to think about it again.

It is precisely because of such strict rules that Nanhuang has achieved this and let the text go to the countryside.

"What a bold move! He wants to open the wisdom of all living beings. What on earth does this demon want to do?!"

"Once the wisdom of the people is opened, there will be endless disasters. At that time, everyone will fight for survival and fight against each other. That will be true. All living beings are like demons, and the end of the world will come!"

The Taoist Shengkong's expression changed.

The Taoists of this era are detached and eat the qi of all living beings. Few of them have real compassion. Instead, they regard all living beings as pigs and dogs.

If pigs and dogs become smart, they will not be fooled. It is impossible for them to be grateful for some small favors and let them steal their luck.

In a sense, the Taoists now have the same position as the feudal court in opening the wisdom of the people.

If everyone is really smart, even if the nobles can temporarily guarantee that their descendants are still nobles, what about after three, four, and five generations? !

The larger the base number, the higher the probability of the emergence of evildoers.

Indeed, there is no powerful family that will not decline.

But the people are not enlightened. Relying on the leading position brought by the monopoly of knowledge, their wealth can last for more than ten generations or even more, but after it is opened, it can only last for a few generations at most.

The same is true for the court.

When everyone is smart, there will naturally be more resistance.

Therefore, Shengkong Taoist changed his color.

This move is not only digging at the foundation of the court, but also digging at the foundation of the Taoists.

Thinking of this, his murderous intention became more intense.

Later, several people continued to go inside and saw someone teaching women how to use new machines to weave cloth, how to raise silkworms and grow mulberry trees on a large scale, and also saw the village militia training in the open space.

The more they saw, the more frightened several human immortals became.

Seeing the small, knowing the next, now there is such a scene, if it is a few years later, what will happen? !

Therefore, after a round of watching, several human immortals rushed towards Yingtian City without hesitation.

Destroy the demon! Must destroy the demon as soon as possible!

As for, under normal circumstances, if you want to enter the Southern Wilds, you must first pass through Yingtian City, but for a few human immortals, it is enough to cross the mountains and ridges directly, and you can directly bypass this pass.

Because they walked in a straight line, the point where they entered the Southern Wilds was not where Yingtian City was.
