Chapter 1742 The Corrupt Official’s Nightmare

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Ning Guzhou runs the army strictly and sets very strict military regulations. Anyone who violates them will be severely punished.

Because they don't take a stitch from the people, they only kill corrupt officials.

Over the years, corruption in Dayan has been serious, and the people have suffered greatly. When the King of Qin's troops crossed the border, he would send officials to divide the land where corrupt officials were killed into ordinary people.

Cheng Lixue and Jing Shiyu came in handy at this time. He was not good at fighting, but he was a good propaganda hand.

Like Tang Miaoxin, he had read a lot of history books in his previous life and studied strategies on how to win the hearts and minds of the people when the imperial power changed.

In addition, he has disciples all over the world, so it is too easy for him to do a good job in publicity.

After he formulated the plan, he used his advantages to write various slogans to build momentum for Ning Guzhou.

For a time, Ning Guzhou had a high prestige in the hearts of the people of Dayan.

When Qinzhou's soldiers and horses passed by to recruit troops, many young men came to join the army.

In just two months, Ning Guzhou reached the side of the Huaihe River.

Qinzhou's army of soldiers and horses, which originally numbered only over 100,000, quickly expanded to 200,000.

Ning Guzhou looked at the mighty Huaihe River and wondered how to cross the river, but it became a problem.

Because the river is very fast, it is not easy for soldiers and horses to cross the river.

Tang Miaoxin stood beside him and said: "There is no need to rush this matter. After crossing the Huaihe River, we will reach Uncle Wang's territory. I will go find him for help."

Ning Guzhou said quietly: "I just borrowed food from him last year, and now I have to borrow a boat. I'm afraid Uncle Wang will be unhappy."

Tang Miaoxin smiled and said: "You can't have such a mentality, you have to think from another angle."

Ning Guzhou looked at her, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "The reason why relatives are relatives is that they need to move around frequently before they can kiss."

"So relatives should not be afraid of causing trouble to each other. Trouble can actually increase family ties."

"Don't talk about anything else. Just talk about me going to find Uncle Wang last year. If I didn't go to him, how would I know that his food was stored for us?"

Ning Guzhou: "..."

Her words may sound reasonable at first, but upon further reflection, they are completely unreasonable.

Royal family affection has always been the weakest thing in the world.

King Huai had ambitions in the first place. No one knows what choice he will make this time.

He said quietly: "I will write to Uncle Wang later."

Tang Miaoxin smiled and said: "When you were busy a few days ago, I had already sent a letter to Uncle Wang. I think he has received my letter by now."

Ning Guzhou looked at her, and she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Let's wait and see what kind of reaction he will have."

Along the way, Tang Miaoxin also helped Ning Guzhou a lot.

Although she doesn't need to go to the front line to charge and fight, she can help handle a lot of things at the rear.

When it comes to raising and preparing food and grass, it is very convenient for her because she has Xuanmen, and she can use Xuanmen to complete the entire transportation line.

After they attacked the city, Ning Guzhou was at the front killing corrupt officials, while she led her men behind to ransack the homes of those corrupt officials.

When she was in Qinzhou, she had done a lot of things like confiscating homes, and she had already gained experience in doing so.

As long as she takes action, she can find the silver, rice, grain and other items hidden in corrupt officials' homes no matter where they are.

Qinzhou's family fortune was not very strong to begin with, but with the newly doubled number of soldiers and horses, the daily needs of money, rice and food were huge.

Ning Guzhou was originally worried that he would not be able to keep up with the money and food in the future, but after Tang Miaoxin ransacked his house, he felt that his worries were unnecessary.

The court in Dayan was corrupt and corrupt officials were rampant, so the most important thing in the families of those corrupt officials was money.

After watching Tang Miaoxin ransack a corrupt official's home, Lin Rufeng said with some emotion: "The corrupt official has worked hard for decades, but the princess took it all away in one day."

"Although I hate them very much, I want to thank them at this time."

"Without their greed day and night, where would the hatred of the people be, and how would we be so happy that everyone in our family would be saved?"

When Tang Miaoxin heard what he said, she gave him a big eye roll.

In her view, plagiarizing someone else's house is actually a technical job, requiring both wits and courage, and is quite difficult.

Searching homes is also very tiring!

But the feeling after raiding the houses of these corrupt officials was extremely satisfying.

Lin Rufeng once secretly said to Ning Guzhou: "My lord, when Dayan is settled in the future, let the princess take charge of the household department."

"I firmly believe that as long as she is here, no one can make a mistake in an account."

Ning Guzhou said very calmly when he heard this: "It's unlikely that this will happen because she is too lazy."

"Don't look at the fact that she is ransacking homes right now. Once the world is settled, she probably won't want to care about anything."

"Relying on her, I might as well point to the little Sweet Pea and grow up quickly."

Tang Miaoxin also hopes that Little Sweet Dou will grow up quickly. During this period, she often takes Little Sweet Dou with her during house searches and teaches him various knowledge and tips about house raids.

Xiao Tiandou thought it was very interesting at first, but one day he suddenly came to his senses and was no longer willing to follow Tang Miaoxin.

But Tang Miaoxin would not let him go so easily. He would take him to do the accounting at night. If he made a mistake in calculation, he would be punished to go to Ning Guzhou to study political affairs.

Xiao Tiandou compared the two and decided that it would be more fun to follow Tang Miaoxin to raid her house.

Moreover, the corrupt official's house has all kinds of things, and Little Sweetpea has also gained a lot of worldly knowledge in the process.

He saw a whole well of silver hidden in the house of a corrupt official, and he also saw the poor people separated by a wall whose entire family only had dozens of copper coins in total.

He saw mountains of silk and satin piled up in corrupt officials' homes. Many of them were moldy and eaten by insects, but the people nearby had no clothes to wear.

He saw that the food in the corrupt official's house was piled up and spoiled, but many people in the city were so hungry that they were skin and bones.

During this process, he saw a lot and learned a lot.

He had been enlightened recently, but now he has learned more and seen the real suffering of the people, and his mind has matured day by day.

So the mother and son ransacked the corrupt official's house during the day and did the accounting at night, and were very busy.

Ning Guzhou usually sees mother and son busy like this, which makes him feel a little funny and relieved at the same time.

Ning Guzhou looked at the water of the Huai River and said to Tang Miao: "Since we have to wait for Uncle Wang's reply, let's go back first."

Tang Miaoxin said with some regret: "I calculated the time. If Uncle Wang receives my letter, there should be some movement today."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the lake and saw a fleet of ships sailing in their direction in the distance.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pulled Ning Guzhou and said, "Look over there!"

When Ning Guzhou saw the fleet, he was not as optimistic as Tang Miaoxin.

Just in case, he gestured behind him, and the soldiers on the shore immediately went into alert mode.

Once the opponent has the intention to attack, take action immediately!
