After Wang Can did morning exercises and had breakfast, Nibru came. When Wang Can saw Nibru, he looked at the people behind Nibru, blinked, and said: "City Lord, this is how you go to express condolences to the families of soldiers.
, and condolences to the poor people?"
The people behind Nibru had empty hands and took nothing.
This is not condolences, this is show.
Since he wants to go to the grassroots to express condolences, create momentum, and really gather the people, he has to come up with practical things, otherwise everything will be in vain. Wang Can doesn't want to be criticized. If he wants to do something, he must do it well.
Nibru said: "The military advisor's condolences to the people is the first of its kind in Maiti City. Going back tens or even hundreds of years, no official has ever condolenced the people. Now, the city lord goes to visit the people with the military advisor.
It’s a shame.”
When Wang Can heard this, he immediately understood.
This is a matter of concept.
Since the city of Maiti was founded, there has never been a case of the city lord condolences to the people. The officials of Maiti City all have status and status, and they are very different from ordinary people. This is the division of social classes. Once an official
If a person lowers his status, he will be easily criticized and his status will be ruined by being scolded.
This is an inherent concept that has been formed for a long time.
However, Wang Can disagreed.
In the Kingdom of Shu, it is common for officials to express condolences to the people and even visit various places. Especially such things are of great benefit to officials without any harm, and are the easiest way to establish prestige.
Wang Can said: "City Lord, do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it!"
Nibulu answered directly without thinking. He was already convinced of Wang Can's ability. He believed in Wang Can's judgment and even more believed in Wang Can's ability.
Wang Can said: "Since the city lord believes in me, the city lord will listen to me for the next thing. Next, everything will be arranged by me, and the city lord only needs to watch."
"good!"
Nibru answered without hesitation.
If Wang Can can take the initiative to arrange it, that is the best thing.
Wang Can looked at the soldiers behind Nibru and ordered: "Now, go and prepare some bacon, some rice, and more. You can load it in a carriage. You drive the carriage and follow the city lord on the way."
"yes!"
The accompanying soldiers responded immediately.
They all participated in the battle against Gandila, saw Wang Can's power, and had great trust in Wang Can. So as soon as Wang Can gave the order, they all obeyed and immediately went to prepare food and bacon.
After the soldiers left, Wang Can said again: "City Lord, in addition to bacon and rice, please ask Mandras to come up with some money. It doesn't have to be too much money. We will give two gold coins to every house we visit. So,
Ask Mandras to prepare some money for later use."
"no problem."
Nibulu followed suit and responded directly.
Immediately, Nibru arranged for someone to go back to the city lord's palace to inform Mandras, asking Mandras to bring gold coins immediately.
Half an hour later, money, food, and meat were all delivered.
At this time, Wang Can said: "City Lord, let's beat them up. Our first battle will be at the homes of the families of the soldiers who died in the battle. You are the most familiar with these people who died in the battle. Pick some of the most representative ones, and we will go to them one by one.
Go visit.”
"good!"
Nibulu agreed and took Wang Can there.
In fact, the families of soldiers who died in battle will receive certain pensions when soldiers die in battle, and Maiti City has never treated the families of those who died in battle poorly. However, after providing pensions, Nibru will not care about the subsequent death.
He has so many people that he cannot take care of them all.
The group's first stop was at the home of a soldier named Bharati.
Balati was once a centurion in the army. He had a high prestige in the army and was extremely brave. When he accompanied Nibru to resist the invading army from Rhodes City, he killed thirty-five people and died.
He was a hero in the army who blocked the attack on Lodz City. The death of Parati at that time was a huge blow to Nibru. It had been a long time since he died in the battle, and Parati's family had already gone through the grief.
day.
When Nibulu arrived with Wang Can, Bharati's family was shocked.
No one expected that Nibru would come to visit.
What surprised them most was that Nibru not only visited, but also gave gold coins, food and meat. This was extremely shocking to Bharati's family, and they were even more moved. After being moved, they felt endless
pride. Because their son is the pride of the family and the pride of the city of Maiti.
The same thing happened to the families of soldiers who died in battle.
When Nibru arrives at a house, he will send money, food and meat.
After finishing the visit to express their condolences to the families of the deceased, Nibru and Wang Can led others to visit the families of the soldiers in the army. These people who expressed condolences were all outstanding soldiers in the army and had performed well.
Finally, it is to express condolences to the poor people.
In one day, Wang Can and Nibru visited everyone's homes. The news spread in a short time, and countless people were grateful to Nibru and even supported Nibru.
After Wang Can returned, he arranged for people to promote the benefits of being a soldier, so that countless people in Maiti City gradually formed a tacit understanding that it was good to be a soldier. As long as someone in the family enlisted as a soldier, the whole family would be proud.
Not only that, if you perform well in the military and get important positions, your family will also enjoy the wealth and benefits. This is what Wang Can wants to achieve. He wants to create a trend so that everyone thinks it is good to be a soldier, so that all the people
Be proud to be a soldier.
In the city lord's palace, Nibulu was amazed by Wang Can's methods.
This series of actions was something he had never been exposed to before.
This is amazing.
It turns out that you can still do this to win over the people and control the soldiers.
Nibulu looked at Wang Can with eager eyes, full of hope, and said: "Commander, now that you have done everything you need to do, are you going to issue a notice and prepare to recruit soldiers?"
"No, wait a few more days."
Wang Can shook his head and said: "We need to let the public opinion ferment thoroughly, let the people truly feel the benefits, and form a trend. At that time, the city lord will issue a notice to have the greatest impact."
"Understood."
Nibru nodded solemnly.
At this moment, Nibru was like a student. He was not impatient at all and listened to Wang Can very carefully.
Wang Can changed the topic and said: "City Lord, I need some craftsmen to forge some new weapons. See if you can mobilize the craftsmen at my disposal."
Nibru said: "The military advisor does not need to be so troublesome. There is only one craftsman's workshop in Maiti City, which is dedicated to forging weapons. I will let Mandras lead the way, and the military advisor will just go and arrange what to forge directly. From today on,
The forging of weapons in the craftsman's workshop will be arranged by the military advisor, and the rest of the forging will be postponed for the time being."
"Thank you City Lord."
Wang Can cupped his hands and thanked him.
With Nibru's full support, things will be much easier.
Nibru was also curious in his heart and asked: "Strategist, what weapons are you going to forge?"
Wang Can said: "Forge new swords, as well as horseshoes, stirrups, and saddles. In addition, we will improve the technique of forging swords to increase the sharpness of the swords."
"Hoo! Hoo!"
When Nibulu heard this, his breathing quickened.
He didn't know about the so-called horseshoes, stirrups and saddles, and he didn't understand what they were. But he heard Wang Can say that it could improve the sharpness of the sword. This was extraordinary, and not something ordinary people could do.
The sharpness of the sword on the battlefield is also one of the keys to victory or defeat. If the blade is sharp and can cut iron like mud, it can crush the enemy to the greatest extent and play a big role.
Nibru said: "Military advisor, can you really improve the sword?"
"certainly!"
Wang Can nodded and answered firmly.
Nibru took a deep breath to calm down, feeling even more indescribable excitement in his heart. He was lucky to get Wang Can's help to solve the threat of Gandila. He didn't expect that Wang Can was also accomplished in forging weapons.
This is really great.
Nibru said: "Thank you for your hard work, military advisor."
Wang Can smiled and said: "It's not hard!"
"Mandrakes!"
Nibulu immediately gave the order.
Mandras entered the hall, saluted Nibru and said: "Lord of the City."
Nibru ordered: "You take the military advisor to the craftsman's workshop, and then the military advisor will take over the workshop. Whenever the military advisor wants to make any weapons, the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop must not object, and they will just follow the instructions."
"yes!"
Mandras immediately agreed.
Mandras had already learned about Wang Can's power and was convinced. He thought about Wang Can taking over the craftsman's workshop, and he was always looking forward to it. He didn't know what kind of weapons Wang Can would make.
Wang Can stood up and said: "City Lord, farewell."
Nibru said: "Commander, please go slowly. I have to deal with government affairs, so I can't accompany the military advisor. If there is anything else, the military advisor can just ask Mandras to do it directly."
"knew."
Wang Can looked at Mandras and said, "Thank you Mandras for your hard work."
Mandras said: "It's not hard work!"
Immediately, Mandras and Wang Can left the city lord's palace and walked for nearly a quarter of an hour to the bank of a river. In Maiti City, there is a river passing through the city, and the craftsman's workshop is for the convenience of fetching water.
, so they built it on the edge of the river. However, Wang Can looked around and saw that the huge craftsman's workshop was just a series of low rammed earth walls. It did not have the grandeur and convenience of the Shu craftsman's workshop.
But when you think about it, this is Maiti City, you feel relieved.
After all, it's not developed enough here.
Especially in recent years, the Shu Kingdom has developed rapidly in terms of technology and strength. However, Maiti City in the Magadha Kingdom is still a relatively slow-developing country, so this is understandable.
Mandras brought Wang Can in and summoned all the craftsmen.
There are about twenty craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop.
Each of these people has bronze skin and is very strong. They are the ones responsible for forging weapons. The leader is an old man with a white beard under his chin and a slightly stooped back. He is about fifty years old. This person's name
His name is Ming Sakyamuni. He is the master craftsman of the craftsman's workshop and is responsible for the forging of the entire craftsman's workshop. (To be continued)
