Chapter 588 Arson?
After the episode about Uncle Wang's son, Zhou Qing said to everyone, "Xiao Lan gave a good summary of city management, but she didn't mention the most important point."
Amid the curiosity and confusion of the crowd, Zhou Qing slowly said: "That is people-oriented. What Xiaolan said, the appropriate system should be that the rulers take care of us like we take care of the food in the fields. It is a bit close to the concept I mentioned, but not completely.
First, let's be clear.
We are human beings.
Other people are also human beings.
We and them must be treated as human beings, and treated equally, rather than as leeks planted in the fields, or as cattle and horses that look like humans. "
At this point, Zhou Qing took a deep breath and said quietly: "No matter what position you will have in the future, if one day you forget your original intention and no longer treat others as human beings, then you are no longer human beings, but just monsters in human skin. When it comes to this point, when you are pulled down from your high position by people who are not treated as human beings by you, don't blame others, because you asked for it."
This principle is simple and applies even in a world with extraordinary powers.
History has similarities.
If you don't treat people as human beings, then people will not treat you as human beings. Once they have the opportunity and ability, they will pull you down and devour you.
And the dragon slayer becomes the dragon—
That’s another matter.
The students all got goosebumps after hearing this, but Zhou Qing changed the subject and said with a smile: "Okay, the class ends here, get out of class dismissed! Xiaolan, collect everyone's homework books!"
Xiaolan immediately stood up and led the students to stand up, saying "Goodbye, teacher" to Zhou Qing, and then began to ask members of each group to collect the homework and hand it to Zhou Qing.
After class, the relationship between the students and Zhou Qing changed from "teacher and student" to "friends".
After all, we are all the same age...
···
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.
After Zhou Qing and Tang San returned, Holy Soul Village and the surrounding villages changed day by day.
“Is this a small village in the countryside?”
Outside the Holy Soul Village, seven uninvited guests arrived.
The fields are golden and the mountains are filled with the fragrance of rice. Looking down, you can see two- and three-story buildings standing there, showing the fresh style of farming.
This kind of scene was something the seven people had never seen along the way.
“Captain, in all the villages we have come across along the way, the rice in the fields has not grown so well and the grains are full. Moreover, the country people are skinny and not as strong as the people in Shenghun Village.” In the era when Zhang Hengrui was born, Douluo Continent had already entered the era of interstellar exploration. Even after the return of the great god circle, it is still the same. Such pastoral scenery has only been seen in teaching videos.
But he was sure that in this era, there were absolutely no such high-yield grains, and there were no country farmers who had enough food and clothing.
It must be a change caused by their mission objectives!
Yuan Enxingtian looked at the farmers working hard in the fields at the foot of the mountain, their faces showing joy of a good harvest, and sighed: "Just looking at the changes they have brought, it's still good."
"Country people are short-sighted, and they are content with small favors." Lu Yixin said disdainfully, "If Zhou Qing and others continue to do this, this time and space will definitely be over! Without the protection of the Sea God, when the Abyss Plane invades 20,000 years later, their descendants will not be able to survive!"
Huo Zhanji didn't say anything, but he agreed secretly.
But what to do next?
They would definitely not be able to defeat Zhou Qing and his men in a head-on confrontation, but if they really had to use despicable means such as digging holes, filling them with water, or using laxatives, they would not be able to do it either.
So embarrassing.
"Jiazhe, what do you think Zhou Qing and the others' purpose is?" Huo Zhanji asked Chai Jiazhe.
"Those who know the official history of time travel have the goal of seizing Tang San's chance to become a god, or to become the king and dominate the world. That's all."
Chai Jiazhe was the one who knew the most about “travelers” in the Blue Silver Team. “Our mission targets: Zhou Qing, Wang Sheng, and Romantina. It’s a bit special that they brought Tang San along as well. I guess they want to use the luck of the protagonists of this era to build their own power.”
At this point, Chai Jiazhe pondered for a moment, glanced at the golden rice fields below, and came up with a bad idea: "Before the troops move, the food and grass must go first. These grains are probably the foundation for their development. These fools have been fooled by them without knowing it, but I am sure that most of the harvested grain will be taken away by Zhou Qing and his men."
"so--"
"Why don't we light a fire and burn it!" Yuan Enxingtian immediately agreed: "Okay! This is a good idea!"
On the field, Zhou Qing grabbed her neck and she felt the threat of death for the first time... She hated Zhou Qing so much.
Huo Zhan Ji frowned. He didn't want to do this, but he couldn't win in a head-on battle. A sneak attack might not work either. The only way they could do was to find a way to make Zhou Qing's side extremely anxious. Then they would have a chance to find an opportunity.
More importantly, most of the three months have passed and we can’t delay any longer.
Mission failed...
The pride in his heart would not allow Huo Zhanji to accept failure.
then--
"Let's vote on whether to use fire attack." Huo Zhanji said to his companions.
"agree."
Chai Jiazhe raised his hand. After all, this was the method he proposed.
"agree."
Yuan Enxingtian raised both hands in agreement.
Zhang Hengrui's martial soul is the wind elf, and his personality is relatively peaceful, so he abstained.
Li Jiangqi agrees.
Lu Yixin felt that for the sake of the overall situation of this time and space, the slight sacrifice of ordinary civilians was worth it and they suffered a little - time would prove that he and others were right!
In fact, this martial soul is the young man of the original body, who abstains.
Among the six people, four had already agreed. Huo Zhanji did not express his opinion, but just said: "Okay, the four of you agree, the minority obeys the majority, and we will use fire attack."
After the plan was set, the seven people took action.
An hour later, Uncle Wang and his family, who were harvesting rice in the rice fields, suddenly smelled the smell of burning rice. They looked up and saw thick smoke coming out not far away. Their eyes widened immediately: "There's a fire in the east!"
People in the nearby farmlands also noticed this scene. They stopped harvesting rice ears, called their friends, went home to get fire-fighting tools, or rushed to the front of the fire in advance to harvest the rice there first and create a fire barrier to prevent the fire from spreading.
“How could these farmers act so quickly?”
Chai Jiazhe, who set the fire secretly, was observing the actions of the villagers of Shenghun Village. He found that although they looked frightened, their movements were not slow. They did not look like farmers, but rather like well-trained soldiers who did not panic even when facing the fire in the rice fields.
In less than half an hour, a firebreak was created outside the fire zone, and the villagers kept passing buckets of water to pour water on the burning rice.
The fire was completely extinguished in just half an hour.
"Why is it on fire?"
"Children in our village cannot play with fire in the rice fields. Those who dare to play with fire will be called by Brother Zhou and his friends to copy textbooks..."
"It's possible that people from other villages are unhappy when they see our bumper harvest."
"That's impossible. They also go to night school and send their children to Hope Primary School. Unless they are crazy, there is no reason for them to do this. Otherwise, let's go and talk to the village chief, Old Jack, and we can kick their village out of the Workers and Peasants Council! The village chiefs of those villages are not stupid, they will definitely control the idlers and lazy people in their villages!"
"Oh no, there's a fire in the west too!"
Someone saw fireworks coming from the west and shouted.
The villagers immediately went to put out the fire.
Uncle Wang said to his son, "Hurry up and go to the Workers and Peasants Council to find Zhou Qing and the others. Someone must have set the fire on purpose!"
