The old man was already very fast, and his home was not far away from here. But when he came back, he found that things were completely different from what he imagined. There was already a long queue at the door. Okay, although some people want to cause trouble with BB, they don't dare to cause trouble when they see the guys at the door who look like iron pillars. Are you kidding me? Each of these people are very powerful, unless they are My skin is itchy, otherwise I would never go up and talk nonsense. The price has gone up? The quantity is reduced, and more people come. The shopkeeper is also happy in his heart. Why didn't these people come to buy food so happily in the past? At that time, the price was average and the supply was unlimited, and some There was an event at that time, where you could buy ten pounds and get one pound free. Now it's better. There's nothing left, and all these people came here one by one. Isn't this deal so good?
"Stand still for me. No matter who you are or what your status is, when you get here, you have only one status, and that is the customer of the Cao Family Firm. You were gods before, and you are still gods today, but you have to give I have clearly seen our new regulations today. Each person is limited to ten pounds. If you want to buy, come back tomorrow. Of course, if you buy this time, you can queue up at the back next time, as long as you have the time. We won't stop you. Don't bring me any notes or tell me about the Governor's Yamen in the Governor's Mansion. It won't work. You can either line up here today or get pulled." A big man stood on top and said, this is also It¡¯s the guys from Cao¡¯s Trading Company who dare to talk like this. The governor and governor, other people would not dare to speak like this at all. Not to mention a guy, even the boss doesn't have the guts, right? Is this deal still done? But the people in the Cao Family Trading Company are not afraid. For now, half of the empire has to eat my food. If you want to eat, you can eat. If you don¡¯t eat, you will go aside and starve. It¡¯s hard to say. Well, of course. The four major empires must have seen their shortcomings in this food crisis, and they will definitely start growing food on a large scale. However, if administrative orders and the market go against each other, the administrative orders will definitely win in the short term, but time After a long time, this order will be in vain, and the market will definitely win. Because the market always follows people's thoughts, this administrative order is not that good. Sometimes everything is so simple. As long as the four empires start growing food, our food prices will immediately start to drop. Anyway, the food cost of Cao Family Trading Company is too low.
The common people were not unhappy after hearing what this guy said. On the contrary, I feel very happy. Why? Because they saw that those who were usually very rich and powerful had to line up with them to buy food. This kind of thing made them feel more comfortable. They didn't have such an idea in the past, and they would let these people follow them. Get up. But it's different now. Such a thing exists now. Look at those so-called scholars. In the past, it was impossible for us to stand together with Kuhaha, but now? All politeness and face are gone. If you don¡¯t come and line up, you may be hungry in a few days. Either you won¡¯t eat or you don¡¯t want face. Face is indeed very important in normal times, but to Compared with his own belly, this face can still be put down. After all, as the old saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people.
But in fact, the families of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries still have privileges. The Cao Family Trading Company has already sent them enough food to feed them for a long time. Of course, it is impossible to charge money for this. It is given to them in normal times. There was a lot of filial piety, but at that time they looked down on these so-called grains. At this time, sending a few carts of grains over would make them happy. This is because the market value of this thing has increased. So you can see it in their eyes. Besides, the food from Cao's Trading Company tastes much better than what they made. These people like to enjoy it. Let them go back and eat the food before. They probably wouldn't be able to eat that food, but all of them were very pampered.
If the price of food in one place increases, a batch can be quickly shipped from other places, so that the price of food can be brought down. But now the price of food in several empires has increased at the same time. They do this. This was really the first time I encountered it, and people from the three empires began to panic. Of course, the Southern Empire, which was in a state of war, was not so panicked, because they robbed the Cao family's grain trading house, and their The food can still last until the day, but I don¡¯t know how they will live after this day. In the past, they could still think of getting food from other empires, but you have to be clear-minded. How much can the hundreds of billions of people in the entire empire eat in one meal, and how much food can they just get from other places? Isn't this a drop in the bucket? It is simply impossible. Unless all the food comes by itself, no matter how hard it is,In this case, such long-distance transportation will make food have the same price as gold.
The meeting of people from several major empires has not yet ended, and none of the things they said have been implemented yet. A group of people from the Cao Family Trading Company have already beaten them down. None of these people know what to do. OK, they do have some food in their treasury, but can they take it out now? These grains are all for people in the army. If the grains go out and no food comes back, the soldiers' inability to eat is completely different from the common people's inability to eat. The soldiers have everything in their hands. Weapons, that will be really bad luck at that time. The foundation of the entire empire may be unstable by then. Such a thing must never happen. It must be like this in many cases. Take care first. People in the army, as for the common people, will not make trouble as long as they don't go too far. Leaders of all ages have considered this.
People from the three major empires also approached some managers from the Cao Family Trading Company to discuss this matter, but the news they received from the Cao Family Trading Company was that what we told them was all the truth. We suffered huge losses in the Southern Empire, and this food could be priced freely in the past. The empire's law stipulates that 50% is allowed, and we don't exceed this ratio. If you feel that our price is not suitable, you don't have to buy it, and we have nothing to stop you. Of course, It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t use the original price, actually. You can exchange some things with us, for example, some things that our army needs. As long as you don't increase the price, we can exchange it with you at the price of 15 Wen. If that doesn't work, then Sorry, we can only pay according to the current price. The price may increase after a while. After all, some of the things we purchase are said to be going up in price, and we all need money, so we have to make the money back, right? After hearing this explanation from Cao's Trading Company, they were all dumbfounded. Damn it, we haven't raised prices here yet. You just started, you are really much darker than us.
There were a lot of good ideas in this meeting of the three empires, but unfortunately, after the price increase policy of the Cao Family Trading Company came out, none of them said anything. If they continue to implement their policy, maybe the Cao Family Trading Company will The trading house will also increase the prices of other items. Especially some transportation and other things, they only discovered it at this time. In fact, the entire empire has been kidnapped by people from the Cao Family Trading Company, and they are very powerful. If this is the case, sometimes it is not that simple for them to do something. They can only use some of their ordnance What was transported to the Southern Empire? Apart from that, they really have no other way to help them. The Southern Empire scolded them to death for this. Now if you want to lose nothing, let me help you resist. Cao Family Trading Company, how is this possible? However, there is no room for turning in the Southern Empire now. The boss of the Cao Family Trading Company, Li Cong, has already arrived at the front line. It is said that their rear area has been almost cleared. Now that the entire rear area is basically stable, the Cao Family Trading Company wants to The attack began.
The Cao Family Trading Company was able to quickly stabilize the rear, thanks to the Baojia system proposed by Li Cong. The Baojia system was a social control method that lasted for a long time in the feudal dynasty. Its most essential feature is that it is based on the "household" (family). ) is the basic unit of social organization, which is different from the Western unit of individuals. Confucian political theory integrates national relations and patriarchal relations into one, and the concept of family is incorporated into the concept of monarchy. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, five families were called "Wu", ten families were called "Shi", and hundreds of families were called "Li"; in the Tang Dynasty, four families were called "Lin", five neighbors were called "Bao", and hundreds of families were called "Li". "In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi proposed ten households as one guarantee, five guarantees as one big guarantee, and ten major guarantees as one capital guarantee. In the Yuan Dynasty, "Jia" appeared again, with twenty households as one Jia, and Jia students were set up. By the Qing Dynasty, the "Paijia system" that was very similar to the decimal Baojia system in the Republic of China was finally formed, with 10 households as one tile, 10 tiles as 1A, and 10A as 1bao. This established the feudal dynasty's feudal dynasty. Tight controls across the country.
Basically, Li Cong copied this content. The current Baojia system is like this. Basically, 10 households are a group, and 10 groups are a group. Ten groups are 1A, and 10A is 1 After being insured, each household basically has an average of eight people. The difference here is that there are thousands of people insured here, so it is very difficult to manage, so Li Cong put The power is mainly placed on Chief A, who does not have as much power as those on Earth. In addition to some management of them, Li Cong also proposed a reward system.
The scope of the jurisdiction of a commander is about seven or eight hundred people. As long as one of these people becomes a soldier of the Cao Family Trading Company, the commander can be rewarded with a certain amount of silver. In addition, the scope of the commander's jurisdiction is the whole year. NoneIf any resistance occurs, then some of the crossbow arrow processing work for the Cao Family Commercial Bank's army will be handed over to them in the coming year. Otherwise, those who have trouble will not get any benefits.
When this system was first implemented, it was different from the loose system in the Southern Empire, but it was also opposed by many village chiefs. However, under Li Cong's gun, these village chiefs either ran for the head of the Jia, Or just go home and rest honestly. Many things are so simple. Sometimes if you don't give them some color, they really don't know what you do and think you are easy to bully. It's not easy to talk about such people. It's really abominable.
The Baojia system allowed the Cao Family Trading Company to stabilize its rear. At this time, what the Cao Family Trading Company had to consider was how to expand its territory. Li Cong already knew this when he arrived at the front line. Now he has occupied more than 50 provinces in the Southern Empire, about a thousand counties and cities, and a population of 7 billion under his jurisdiction. In the eyes of Tuoba Yuanye and others, this is already very good, but Li The goal is not like this. In addition to leaving 2 million troops to continue to manage some things and continue to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Southern Empire army, the remaining people are all concentrated on the front line. To prepare for another attack, we must let the people of the Southern Empire sue for peace with us. If we don¡¯t frighten them, our losses in the Southern Empire may really be gone, and we will only have to hurt them. , they would come here to admit their mistakes, otherwise these people must not know where they went wrong.
At this time, some of the main war factions in the Southern Empire were at the top. They attributed the last failure to the fact that the Cao Family Trading Company suddenly launched an attack. If they started a full-scale war, it would be impossible for the Cao Family Trading Company to win. For the senior officials of the Southern Empire, they They lost their minds and actually believed this. We think we should put on a show of strength and have a good fight with the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, let them know that we are not fools, but also heroes on the battlefield. They even think that this can scare the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, and even retreat. . Finally, you can sign an agreement with the people from the Cao Family Trading Company, and the wealth you can get in the future will be huge. It's a pity that I don't know if these people have any brains when they think about this. Each of them may not know where their brains have gone. This is the main reason.
Li Cong never thought that the Southern Empire would have such an idea. In his opinion, the Southern Empire should be scared to death by its own army. In fact, when the war has reached this stage, it is no longer what Li Cong wants. It's over when it's over. Originally, Li Cong didn't want to establish an empire, but now that he has such a huge territory, it would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't establish an empire, right? Although this thing is also very tempting to Li Cong, he is already an emperor on earth, but it cannot be compared with here. Although the technology on earth is very developed, it will be even more advanced here. There are many people. To become an emperor in such a place full of powerful people, I believe that as long as there are no problems in their minds, people will basically agree with this matter. There will definitely be many people who have such thoughts, and they will also have problems in their minds. Everyone will think like that.
But after some thinking, Li Cong felt that it was not that time yet. He had just started a full-scale war with the Southern Empire. Although he had won at this stage, it was the same as the analysis of the four empires. I don't have the strength to swallow them up now. Even if the people of the Southern Empire hand over their empire to me now, I don't have the strength to kill them. I just want to slowly eat them up. That¡¯s it. It¡¯s better not to do this and become a fat man in one bite. Otherwise, you won¡¯t eat well and your stomach will burst. This is definitely not what you want. This is what happens most of the time. It seems, but there are really not many people who can resist such temptation now, but Li Cong is one of the few people. Li Cong can hold on. Except for Li Cong, other people would probably There is no such thing.
The main war factions of the Southern Empire have already established a firm foothold within their empire. They are clamoring to give the Cao Family Trading Company some strength. Many generals have brought their own guards to the front line. Like this This incident made some people in the Cao Family Trading Company feel confused. All your elite troops have been killed. Even if there are more people coming this time, they are just newly recruited soldiers. Could they? Does it bring you any victory? This seems to be impossible. As long as the recruits don't hold back when they arrive on the battlefield, it will be good. If you expect them to become the main force, you will definitely suffer. This is the case in the Southern Empire now. The investigation department of the Cao Family Trading Company is already Got the news, a quarter of the two billion army they assembled were elderly peopleWith some young people, in fact, if the Southern Empire slowly mobilizes for war, they will definitely not need these people, but they don't have the patience to get tired. They want to kill the people of Cao's Trading Company quickly, so no matter Is it an old man or a child. Anyone who can wield a knife must go to the battlefield. According to the people of the Southern Empire, this is what they call holy war. A holy war to protect their country, but for many soldiers, they don¡¯t want to come to the front line. No matter whether they are in charge of the Southern Empire or people from the Cao Family Trading Company, they feel there is no difference. The people in the Cao Family Trading Company Many people are from the Southern Empire, so it doesn't matter who can be the boss, and many people feel in their hearts that it would be better to let someone from the Cao Family Trading Company be the boss. Because their welfare seems to be good, and they have a good way of doing economics and so on, but you can't. Apart from robbing ordinary people, you haven't seen what kind of skills the Southern Empire's court has.
The Southern Empire has told their people about this so-called holy war. If everyone can get through this most difficult time, then the billions in wealth of the Cao family business will belong to the Southern Empire. At that time, the people of the Southern Empire You can eat, drink and have fun for free for a long time. After all, the money in the hands of the Cao Family Trading Company is definitely not a small amount, but their statement seems to many people to be a lie. How is this possible? If you really have that ability, why didn't you get anything when you blocked the Cao family's business in the Southern Empire? Now that the Cao Family Trading Company has no business in the Southern Empire, of course you can say that, but you have to come up with something real. The officials of the Southern Empire were dumbfounded when they encountered this problem. Yes, what can we come up with? It seems like we can't get anything out, and now it's really going to kill us.
No matter how reluctant the people of the Southern Empire are, you have to come to serve as soldiers now. If you don't come, the swords and guns in my hands are not here to wish you New Year greetings. That's really going to kill you. The saber himself must know this, because when he came down and saw that those people didn't come out for five hours, these damn so-called soldiers who defended the Southern Empire started to fight in their The village was burned, killed and looted. They said that anyone who did not join the Southern Empire's army would be treason and all of them would be beheaded if caught. In fact, this official's statement was definitely a bit excessive, but he was not that He said there was nothing he could do about it. Several competitors now had more troops than he did. He had to get some troops quickly. It would be great if all of these troops could go up. There are not so many troops now, and the general himself is very angry. He must teach these damn untouchables a lesson, otherwise they really don¡¯t know that I dare not take action. Just like that, the village suddenly Five more lives. Although Saber has seen all these things, to be honest, he will not care about these things. He will be kind to whoever treats him well. Why was Sanwazai the one who saved him in the first place? The dead people also saw themselves at that time, but no one carried them back. They were afraid that they would drag them down for the rest of their lives. How could such a person become his brother? Why do you have to sacrifice your life for them?
When the army left the village the next day, they said they would come back three days later. Er Sha still remembered what the captain said, "Damn, I've been to so many villages and I've never seen your village so devoid of collective ideas." Yes, don¡¯t look at what time it is now. Our great Southern Empire is beginning to collapse. Now we must unite. Those who buy the sun have not eaten meat for a day. I am killing people on the front line to protect our country. People from the country, some of you are unwilling to eat some of your food in the rear, and some are not willing to do so. They are really a group of greedy guys. Let me tell you, I will not let you go so easily. According to intelligence, there are quite a few of you in this village. We are young and middle-aged, so there must be hundreds of people anyway. I won¡¯t ask you for more. I only need thirty brothers. I don¡¯t care who they are, as long as I have enough people. , you all remember it, three days, only three days, if no one comes to my place after three days, I will kill all of you directly. Some people say that I have no king's law, in fact, this What you said is wrong. There are many people above me, but they don¡¯t have time to care about me. Now I am a god to you. If you want to hang out with me, then I will be happy, but If you are not happy, then I'm sorry for you." After the guy said this, he whipped down the whip, and an old man next to him was immediately blinded by this. Er Sha was sure that this guy must have done it on purpose. Otherwise, the old man wouldn't be knocked unconscious all at once.
After the people in the army left, Er Sha slowly walked into his home, and the children at home were not at home. byBefore, I couldn¡¯t tell why I should worry about this matter? Are you trapped by wild beasts in the mountains or something, or is there any solution? Even if she, an old woman, could go out, she would only look around her home. She would never have the courage or strength to go to other places, so she could only honestly see if her son and daughter could come back. , In fact, the old lady has another idea in her mind, that is, there is an advantage to not coming back. With those beasts in the mountains, you can see all the dangers immediately. But now, her biggest danger is the imperial army. If these people in the imperial court see a beautiful woman, they won't care what you do. They can do anything.
"Mom, I'm back. Those bastards didn't give you any trouble, right? I'll go out and cook for you." Er Sha's sudden appearance surprised the old lady who was thinking about something. Hurry up and tell this guy to keep his voice down. Although the neighbors are all good people and won't tell anyone, it's better to be careful at this time. Many people's sons and husbands have been arrested. Now I see you are still at home. Will people feel comfortable? Normally, they must have face and so on and they won't talk, but after drinking, this face will be nothing, and they will feel wronged. The grievances of my family are why I am so much more powerful than him. But they didn¡¯t even dare to say this, so they wanted to climb up quickly, but for some reason, Er Sha¡¯s standing here gave the old lady a great sense of security, even as she got older. Need a sense of security.
"Come here, why are you back? Why did you come back? You didn't see it. During the day, you don't know how powerful those people are. They will kill people when they come up, and they don't care what you do. Yes, look at the lives lost at the entrance of the village. Those were all killed by these bastards. The bandits are not as powerful as they are. But I heard about it. It seems they will come back. Hurry up and give them. I'm going back. Don't worry about me. I'm just an old woman. What can they do to me? None of you can come out. Even if I'm the one who died, you all should go back. Although it's dangerous in the mountains, how can you brothers? They can take care of each of them inside, and they may not die, but judging from the battlefield, it is no joke. It seems that they are fighting with that CaoCao trading company. I don¡¯t know how arrogant these guys are. What? The regular army of a country can't even defeat the army of a trading company. They all say that the death of dead people is terrible. If you don't pay much attention, hundreds of people can die if you go up. You'd better go back quickly, 2 Silly, I know you are very capable, but there are hundreds of them." The old lady started to talk about it when she saw Er Silly. She had seen many such things, and she was still very young last time. At that time, my cousin was afraid that something would happen to her grandma and other people, so she ran back from the mountains. As a result, she was dragged by those people to join the army. That was decades ago. , the final result was that he saw his cousin for the last time.
"Mom, it's okay. We made a bandit den in the mountains. It's now full of people from our family and the village. I came to take you to the street. I thought they wouldn't leave today. I I thought it would be very troublesome, but now it's okay. They are all gone. Let's go, while it's dark, I will carry you and leave quickly. If they come back, we won't be able to leave. Where is my brother?" Er Sha suddenly asked I thought of Sanwazai. He was taking care of the house at home. Why didn¡¯t I see him this time? A bad premonition came over me. When I looked at the old lady, sure enough
"Youyour brother didn't go with you. He originally thought he was going to take care of me at home. Who knew hehe was dragged away by those damn ones. Ask him where you went. This kid didn't leave me alone. When you died in the end, you didn¡¯t say where you were. Among the people who died at the entrance of the village were your brother¡¯s heads, ah" The old lady started to cry, and the second fool was also stunned. This the third baby Tsai was with me a few hours ago, and now he doesn't even have his head. If he doesn't take revenge, how can he live in peace? The old lady didn't want to talk about this at first, but when she saw the look in Er Sha's eyes, she I know what this guy wants to do. That is the army, that is the army of the imperial court. Are you going to seek revenge?
Pa slapped Er Sha on the face, "You bastard, what are you thinking about? You, if you go to take revenge now, I will crash to death here. Er Sha, mother knows that your brother is gone." It¡¯s uncomfortable, but you have to see clearly. We are just ordinary people with no ability. Those people are all members of the imperial court. If we offend them, we will not get any good results. Mom, I hope you will be well. Yes, my mother will have to count on you for the rest of her life. Remember, you can¡¯t have any thoughts of revenge in the future. Even if Sanwazai is still alive, he won¡¯t let you go. Look at your mother and promise her ??Not allowed to go. "The old lady said in a stern voice. In the past few days, he has regarded Er Sha as his son. His own son is gone, and he cannot lose his other son, even if it is only for a few days. But she could tell that these two idiots really wanted revenge.
That¡¯s right. Er Sha was indeed going to take revenge just now, but when he saw the look in the old lady's eyes, if he really went, the old lady would really do well. Besides, there were still many people in the mountains. They are also waiting to take care of themselves.
"Mom, I promise you won't act rashly. I will take you away. After my brother leaves, I will be your son from now on. No matter where I go, I will carry you on my back." After Er Sha said this, he took the old man away regardless of the old lady's dissuasion. The old lady carried her on her back. The old lady knew that the road in the mountains was difficult, especially at night. It was very difficult even for a person to walk alone, let alone carrying herself. He would not be able to walk fast at all while carrying himself. He was determined not to He was willing to go and wait for death at home, but Er Sha immediately tore off the strips of cloth, tied the old lady to his body, and ran towards the dark night. In the night, he could You can see that Er Sha's eyes are red, and they are red for San Wazai. This revenge must be avenged, but not now, now I have to settle down.
When he walked to the entrance of the village, Er Sha took a look at the heads hanging there. He couldn't tell which one was which. There were many people around looking at this side, but they didn't say anything. In fact, They all pity such things, but no one has the ability to change these things. These people were killed by people from the imperial court. Even in such a small mountain village, they know that the authority of the imperial court is very powerful here. They simply They have no ability to fight against the people of the imperial court. To them, the people of the imperial court are the most powerful people. Let alone killing these few people, what if the people of the imperial court kill the entire village? Now, many people in this village have been captured by them to serve as soldiers. In their opinion, this is what should be done. Every time the court wants to go to war, they will come to the village to capture young men. If this is not done, If you are taken away, you will definitely be very scared if you stay. You never know when you may be reported or even caught. Such things can be said to happen endlessly, and sometimes the number of people is very large. .
"Let's go, hurry up." Although the mother is not a biological mother, she has lived in this world for such a long time. If she hadn't been worried about her daughter and Er Sha in the past few days, he would have been there long ago. I don¡¯t want to live anymore. I have been alone for a long time. This son can be said to be everything to me. Now that my son is gone, there is no need for me to continue to live. Now I can just die, but now I have this Son, I felt somewhat comforted. She was on Er Sha's back, and she could see clearly what this guy was thinking on his face. He must be thinking about revenge, something like this. It's better to have less, preferably none. A person's ability is always very small, and it's useless to fight with the court.
"Oh my god, I'm so exhausted. I really don't know what this guy is made of. This guy is really heavy. I carried you back from the mountains just to find a younger brother for myself. I am really too weak in my family. If I have a brother, it will be completely different. The future may be very beautiful. If there are such days, I will be better." Such words are still in his mind. In his mind, these are what Sanwazi said when he carried him back. He remembers these words very clearly. The two of them will be brothers for the rest of their lives, but it is a pity that they don't have that chance now. Sanwazai is already dead. He can't die anymore. Such people have no chance at all. They will never have a chance.
"Well, I'll leave now." Er Sha glanced at the skull over there again, and now there were tears in his eyes. If he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave, and the surrounding villagers It was pretty good. A guy came out. Er Sha knew him. This guy was his neighbor Uncle Ge Er. He didn¡¯t say anything after he came out. He brought a gourd filled with water and some flour cakes to this guy. Then he went back. He didn't want people to say that he was related to the robbers, so he had to leave quickly, otherwise his life would not be easy if others saw him.
No one knew that a small officer in the Southern Empire would do such a thing. No one knew what they did. Many people didn¡¯t understand how a small person could change history. This is the current situation in the Southern Empire. Because this man named Sanwazai changed history. If this guy had not died, maybe the original Saber, that is, the current Er Sha would not be at odds with them, nor would he be at the end of the war between them and the Cao Family Trading Company. Stab them in the back at the critical moment. Without these things, everything would be possible.It will develop according to different histories, but now that something like this has happened, history is different from the original. Some people in later generations also said when summarizing history, in fact, the Southern Empire did not die at the hands of the Cao Family Trading Company , but died at the hands of the officer who killed Sanwazai. This man changed the balance of history and made the Southern Empire begin to be attacked from both sides.
No matter what Er Sha did, it was not a matter of time. Over there, Li Cong had already led his 8,000 wolf cavalry to inspect the front line. All of them were mutated seventh-level monsters, Tilachi wolves, with seven Super warriors, a neat 8,000 people, this is also the army led by the most powerful monster on the road. It is not uncommon for Li Cong to have such an army. What is rare is how their opponents should deal with it. Now Li Cong He must use them to capture his next piece of land and make the Southern Empire completely tremble.
