Chapter 627: Unparalleled Power
Wu Nian, Liu Zhixing, and Zhang Haiping returned to Jiang County, leaving the county magistrate to deal with the aftermath.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, there are fewer pedestrians on the streets. But Jiang County is the commercial center of Yingqing Prefecture and is very prosperous.
No matter how few people there are on the street, they are still quite impressive.
There are bulletin boards set up by the government throughout the city.
"Dong dong dong!!!!" Teams of government officials beat gongs and drums and left the government office. They came to the bulletin board and posted notices.
Wu Nian's prestige was high. This notice also attracted the attention of the people. Soon, a large number of people gathered in front of the notice board to watch.
But most people are illiterate and read in a fog.
"Mr. Li, please help us see what is written here." An old man said politely to Li Ding, who was wearing a long gown next to him.
Li Ding was not a scholar, he was just a bookkeeper. He had no knowledge, but he had no problem with reading and writing. Of course he understood the announcement, and his face was full of shock.
It wasn't until the old man urged him again and again that Li Ding lost his mind and said, "The announcement says that a severe drought this year is probably inevitable."
"Water is limited. Today, Lijia Village and Bianshan Village outside the city have suffered numerous deaths and injuries due to competition for water sources."
"In order to prevent similar things from happening again, the general sent officials to control water sources and prioritize the preservation of energy-saving fields."
"The general told us not to worry, he won't starve anyone to death."
"In addition, after a severe drought, there will be a locust plague. The general asked us people not to slaughter chickens and ducks because of the drought and lack of food."
"And if people are really hungry, they can also eat locusts. As long as they are roasted, don't eat too much. This food can also aphrodisiac. But eating too much will cause diarrhea."
As soon as Li Ding finished speaking, the place fell silent. All the people were stunned.
There are people in the city and people outside the city. People in the city don't have fields, and people outside the city have fields. But it doesn't matter whether they are people in the city or outside the city.
After listening to Li Ding's words, his first thoughts were all whimsical.
These fields are treasures. Farmers hope that their fields will have a bumper harvest this year and a good life next year.
How could they give up their own fields and watch others occupy the water source, and there is water for irrigation?
After a severe drought, there will be locusts. Some old people know this. Young people don't understand, but they will know after asking.
This is indeed the law of movement of heaven and earth.
There is nothing to question.
It is true that chickens and ducks can eat locusts. But there are countless locusts flying around. The population of Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture is one to two million.
Even if every household raises chickens and ducks, it seems that it is still a drop in the bucket for locusts.
As for people eating locusts, that's a fantasy. Can they be eaten?
question.
Even with Wu Nian's unparalleled prestige, he was immediately questioned by the people. But soon, the people became suspicious.
Again, Wu Nian's prestige is enough.
leader.
The reason why he is called a leader is that he has a lot of prestige. He does not joke around in daily life and is unambiguous when doing big things. His prestige is accumulated over time.
Let the people believe in Wu Nian.
Looking back at the year when the Meng Yuan invaded, all thirty-two counties of the five prefectures in Liaodong fell. Who can believe that Wu Nian could recover the two prefectures by himself?
Who can believe that there were three hundred elite soldiers in the year of Wu?
Now the captains and captains are on their own side, with more than 100,000 elite soldiers?
The prestige that Wu Nian accumulated in his daily life is like a piece of steel that has been tempered over time. It is tough and powerful.
"If things are allowed to develop, I, Yingqing Prefecture, Guangchuan Prefecture, no, I am afraid that the entire Liaodong will lose everything."
"But according to the general's method, we can protect part of the land and produce a certain amount of food. In addition, the general purchased a lot of food from overseas some time ago. The general will definitely not starve us to death."
"That's right. And it's hard to say what officials are like in other places. But the officials of General Fu Han are very honest. They won't do any fraud. They will definitely protect the land they can. I believe in the general."
"It is the law of heaven and earth that chickens and ducks eat locusts. In this case, why don't we raise more? If the locusts eat up everything, we will become refugees. If we stay in one place, we can only wait to die.
ah."
"Yes. And this locust. I believe whatever the general says. It can also aphrodisiac!!! When I have time, I will go outside the city to catch some locusts to eat, and I will be able to kill them with a golden gun."
Whether in modern times or in ancient times, male compatriots are obsessed with aphrodisiacs. Many men who look at the bulletin board have their eyes shining.
As long as it can aphrodisiac, no matter how unpalatable it is, they dare to try it.
In this weather, locusts have already appeared outside the city, and there are quite a lot of them.
In addition to issuing notices in the city, Wu Nian also sent government officials to the countryside and mountain villages to do propaganda. He cast a large net to unite the army and the people.
Overcome difficulties together.
Wu Nian didn't just distribute the news but not receive it. He received the information bit by bit to see if there was a big rebound.
In case the plan is not implemented, you will collapse.
The result is that everyone is happy.
Ten days later.
In the hall of General Fuhan's mansion, Wu Nian, Liu Zhixing, and Zhang Haiping were sitting and drinking tea together. Wu Nian laughed and said, "The people believe in me."
"The general's prestige is unparalleled in the world. It is really rare in ancient times." Liu Zhixing cupped his fists and saluted Wu Nian. He said sincerely and without any falsehood.
real.
The only one who can do this kind of thing is Wu Nian. What Wu Nian said is more effective than the Buddha and the gods in the temple.
The people believe in Wu Nian.
And such Wu Nian, such a world-famous Wu Nian, was born to be a king, waiting for Wu Nian to conquer the five prefectures and thirty-two counties in Liaodong.
Even if he doesn't become king, I'm afraid the people will push Wu Nian to take the throne.
This means that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.
Zhang Haiping also nodded beside him and looked at Wu Nian with extremely respectful eyes.
"It's rare in the past, forget it. I don't want fame, I just want to be real." Wu Nian smiled and waved to Liu Zhixing, then stood up with his hands on the armrests of the Taishi chair, and said to Liu Zhixing: "Zhixing, pass on the order.
Immediately send people to control the water source and implement the plan according to the plan. First, we must protect the fertile land. Anyone who dares to do bad things will be severely punished."
At the end of the sentence, Wu Nian became murderous.
Be polite first and then fight.
He first stated the matter openly and set the rules. If anyone dares to break the rules again, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"yes."
Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping looked solemn, stood up and cupped their hands together. Then, they walked down quickly. Wu Nian picked up the teacup with a smile and took a few sips of tea.
"I come from wind and fire. It's not that easy to knock me down."
"If you take big steps, there is always a way out."
Goguryeo and Chu began to restrict grain exports, and the Mongolian and Yuan people contacted the Fusang pirates to cut off Wu Nian's maritime trade.
