In the fishing village.
Faced with a Taoist priest with an unfamiliar face, the villagers were quite alert, and soon several adult men holding farm tools came forward to ask questions.
Li Changsheng understood their vigilance very well. The more chaotic the world is, the more bandits there are. In many cases, if they can live a peaceful life, few people are willing to become bandits. Most people are often forced to do so by life.
The Kyushu of today has not yet reached the point of chaos, but successive years of disasters have long since destroyed the peace of the past.
One Palace and Two Gates will help with disaster relief, and many disasters will be suppressed as soon as they emerge. But putting out a fire depends on the weather, and saving people depends on fate. Not every rescue can be timely, and not everyone can be saved.
Just like in the Ruwu Dynasty, the Shangqing Palace reacted very promptly and reported it to themselves immediately, and at the same time started to drop it from other places.
"Master, may I ask what is the matter with you coming to Huangjia Village?"
"I have been traveling here and have run out of food, so I came here to ask for some food."
"Master, please go to the next village. Our village has just suffered a drought and our families are out of food."
"I can cure your illness in exchange for food."
Upon hearing that Li Changsheng could cure diseases, the villagers looked at each other, confirmed it several times, and then hurriedly invited Li Changsheng into the village.
When there is a great disaster, there will be plague and disease.
No matter what era it is, seeing a doctor is always extremely expensive. In peaceful times, ordinary people could still afford to see a doctor, but in today's world, ordinary people can only endure the illness.
There are dozens of sick people in the fishing village, most of whom are weak and have caught a cold. The best treatment is to eat and drink enough. This is a disease of the poor.
Li Changsheng gave them an injection to replenish their qi and blood. Although it couldn't guarantee that they would be worry-free for the rest of their lives, it could at least help them get through the difficult times.
"Master Immortal, Master Immortal!"
When the villagers in the fishing village saw such a miraculous skill, they were shocked and then they knelt down and kowtowed continuously.
"I am neither a deity nor a great master."
Li Changsheng raised his hands to hold them up, and then continued to treat the next patient. He basically took a silver needle and pierced the top of the patient's head, and the disease was cured.
In the blink of an eye, the patients in the fishing village were basically cured, and Li Changsheng found an old man alone to question him.
"How are your taxes?"
"My Lord, our taxes are not too heavy, 1 in 30. Although we have had many disasters in recent years, we are still doing OK. If it were a few years ago, we would have starved to death."
The answer was given by a white-haired old man. Judging from his bone age, he was over 40 years old, which was considered a long life in ancient society.
"The emperor wanted to build a garden today, a palace tomorrow, and a mausoleum the day after tomorrow. All these required money and people, so the officials led people to capture young men everywhere. There were few men in a village at that time, and none of the people who were captured came back."
Li Changsheng asked, "What about the emperor now?"
"He died a few years ago." The old man suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "Although the court said he died of illness, we all guess that he was killed by an immortal."
"After the old emperor died, the new emperor immediately increased the tax rate from 10% to 40%. In recent years, I heard that the gods are preparing for heavy rain, so the tax rate is now 30%. Life is a bit hard, but at least we still have food to eat. If it were the old emperor, we would probably all die."
"You immortals are the best. If you were not here, who knows how those officials would torment us."
The old man has regarded Li Changsheng as the legendary immortal, but the immortal he mentioned does not specifically refer to Li Changsheng, but all the cultivators in the cultivation world.
In the eyes of ordinary people in Jiuzhou, cultivators are basically good people, and if there is any injustice, they can just find the immortals to solve it.
This is not to say that all cultivators nowadays have noble morals, but that immortals and mortals are separated, and those who often move around in the mortal world are basically disciples of the one palace and two sects. These three sects are all righteous sects, and the disciples in the sects have been instilled with the idea of ​​protecting the world and the people since childhood.
However, by chance, the old man was not wrong when he called him immortal.
Li Changsheng looked at the old man praising the monk and couldn't help but ask:
"Old man, do you think it's a good idea to let monks govern the world?"
"Uh... I am stupid and short-sighted. I don't know what a monk is."
"It's the deity you mentioned."
"That's certainly very good, definitely better than those officials."
Li Changsheng declined their invitation to stay overnight and set off to the next village.
For the same reason, exchanging medical treatment for food, a bowl of rice is not too much, a bite of bread is not too little, even a handful of wild vegetables is fine.
This is not for food, but to see the big picture from the small. If the people can't even get a bite of food, then there is no need for this dynasty to exist.
Every year, the Spirit Treasury would allocate some spiritual stones and elixirs to the secular court, and there were countless yellow and white things. The purpose of giving them benefits was to make them cause less trouble to the people. Nowadays, natural disasters continue, but there is enough food.
Du Shi fought for Kyushu for 5 years, and these 5 years were to prepare for the next 10 years.
Li Changsheng was very fast. He would arrive at another village the moment he left the village. In a few days, he could visit hundreds of villages and dozens of counties. If he didn't talk to the locals, he could walk through 1/10 of the territory of a dynasty in one day.
If you encounter demons along the way, you will kill them; if you encounter patients, you will treat them.
The Qi Dynasty where he lived was generally doing well. At least there was no famine, and most people still had food to eat. Some villages even provided him with chickens, ducks, fish and meat.
