Chapter five hundred and ninety-fifth confirmed the eyes, you are your own!
Chapter 595: Confirmed eyes, you are one of our own!
The generals in the army knew very little about Guanling City's plan, but Yao Yun had started planning it a year ago. Second Elder Wu Tong and Prime Minister Sun Muyue had already known about it and had begun to make plans.
Jimo and a group of people from the Youxi clan occupied the Magpie Nest and eroded the fiefdom of the Xi Kingdom;
The Tiger King did not care about his family ties, so he came to Xidu with a superior attitude and attacked Yao Yun for no reason;
This account was still fresh in his memory.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years!
This was a long-planned operation, and all matters were prepared extremely well. Yao Yun gave an order, and a war against Guanling City and the fate of the Tiger Kingdom began.
Roosters crow and dogs bark, and the sun rises in the east. Smoke gradually rises from the quiet and peaceful Guanling City. At first, there are people walking in twos and threes on the streets and alleys in the city, and on the suburban avenues. In a blink of an eye, there are more people and it becomes lively.
Restaurants, tea shops, vendors, and pedestrians are all here, creating a picture full of life.
Of course, this is a distant view, a hazy feeling. If you take a closer look, you will know that there is something else.
In addition to those wealthy people wearing rich clothes, the streets and alleys are full of ordinary people with sallow faces and thin muscles, walking numbly as they walk by, their faces heavy and worried, as if they are worried about something all the time.
The whole figure is like a taut string. If it is tightened any more, it will collapse and break in the next moment.
Just like the people of the Xi Kingdom whom Yao Yun saw when he ascended the throne, their clothes were shabby and shabby, and they were covered with patches. Many of the men were bare-chested and had ragged trousers, shivering in the slightly cold autumn wind.
There are more and more people like this, coming from the streets and alleys and from the countryside outside the city to the bustling market, crowding the already busy market.
These people come to the market not to buy things, not to sell things. They are farmers in Guanling City. The weather in Guanling City is going well this year. If there is no insect disaster, they can live a full year.
Unfortunately, things backfired and a plague of insects descended from the sky, affecting all the people in the city.
The better ones lost a few acres of harvest, and at most they were living in tight conditions; but for many families, half of their crops were eaten by insects, and their lives became extremely difficult.
At the same time, the eight hundred vassal states of China were in short supply of food, and food prices began to soar, doubling in price. This undoubtedly made things worse and made life even more difficult.
The people of Guanling City who are gathering at the entrance of the market are here to make a living for themselves and their families. They are eagerly waiting for businessmen from Xidu, Licheng, Chishui, Baima and other places to come here to hire people to work so that they can
An opportunity to work hard.
The common people had been working all morning, but when they saw that the merchants had not come yet, they took advantage of the situation and started boasting and talking about gossips they had heard from nowhere.
"I heard that the pay in Xidu is really good. Even if there is a disaster, the salary will not drop much."
"No, there is a brother in my alley. His family was in a miserable situation. The crops in the fields were ruined and the remaining grain was empty. He went to Xidu merchants to find work. Now he is better. He supports his family by himself. Although the whole family
It’s still tight, but it’s passable.”
"Oh, you brother is really thoughtful. If you had known, I would have gone to Xidu earlier!"
...
When everyone heard this, they all expressed their admiration and admiration.
Among a group of dull people, a thin man with smart eyes and a bit of cunning spit out his spit rudely and followed the crowd's lead: "Have you heard? I heard that there are insects in Xidu and Licheng.
It’s even worse than ours. Tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland are infested with insects, which is three points worse than our Guanling City.”
"It's true, but I heard that people in Xidu live a pretty good life."
The thin man chuckled and said matter-of-factly: "Of course I am living a good life. With the young master here, the people of Xidu can still be hungry. Not only are disaster relief grains distributed, but the local people of Xidu can also buy cheap grains, ten knives and one stone.
Just like before, you said you can be hungry!"
"Yes, after all, they are the common people under the rule of the young master, they must be better than us!"
Maybe the conversation just now touched the people watching.
Many times, people are most afraid of comparison. Comparison will cause a psychological gap and then emotional imbalance.
Soon, everyone's faces showed envy and dissatisfaction, and they kept complaining.
"Yes, the young master has managed the country well. The people in other parts of Xi Kingdom are living better than us. Not to mention the people in the city, the people in the mountains and fields of Xidu have food and food that we dare not even think about."
"I'm not a villager, we Guanling people are. I heard businessmen say that the cities, townships and villages of the Xi Kingdom have wide roads extending in all directions. When the people from the mountains enter the city, it will be done in no time.
Buying and selling is very convenient, and there is no shortage of anything, unlike us who are so isolated."
"I heard that Xidu has a lot of delicious food. There are countless fun and delicious places. It is as lively at night as it is during the day, and the lights are bright."
"That's natural. People in Xidu have no worries about food and clothing. Naturally, they can find ways to eat. It's hard for us to have enough food. How can we have such leisure time."
...
Everyone was silent for a while, filled with emotion.
"Hey, you said, we are both from the Xi Kingdom and the Youxi clan, why are there such big differences? The young master is not our young master, and the king is not our king, why do we favor one over the other!"
a chubby woman lamented.
But soon, before the thin and shrewd man could say anything, a simple and honest man beside him immediately shouted angrily: "Female people, don't talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with the young master. It's the young master who refuses to give way to the virtuous. He has to occupy the manhole and not shit, no."
He knows how much he weighs, causing all of us in the city to suffer along with him. If the young master were allowed to take charge of Guanling City, we wouldn't have to suffer the cold here!"
The so-called Young Master is naturally the Young Master of Jimo. The native people of Guanling did not dare to point fingers at Young Master Jimo because they were very taboo. However, the Youxi clan members who followed Young Master Jimo to immigrate to Xi Country did not have much scruples.
In fact, the people of the Youxi clan in Guanling City had long complained about Mr. Jimo, and they had never found an outlet to vent their anger. However, when someone provoked them, all the unhappiness in their hearts burst out.
"How can the young master compare with the young master? When he was opening up the territory, he was young and energetic, and he was very happy with his achievements. Not only did he drive away ghosts, but he also killed a ghost emperor, which attracted powerful enemies to retaliate, and eventually led to the fall of Guanling City.
, countless tribesmen died tragically, but the young master came forward to defend the city, drive away the ghosts, and settled the matter later."
"Master Jimo is just a dandy. He doesn't know how to govern a country. He only knows how to play with girls. He doesn't know how to do serious business, so he bullies his tribe!"
"Not only that, I heard that Mr. Jimo has a lot of food in his treasury, but he just doesn't use it for disaster relief. Just like this, he watched us starve to death. We followed him to the southern wilderness, and he actually did this to us...
....”
...
The emotions of the people in Guanling City were stirred up.
Compared to the indigenous people of Guanling, the Youxi clan did not have much reverence for Mr. Jimo. Looking back several generations from their ancestors, they could still discuss blood relations with Mr. Jimo.
For a time, they were filled with righteous indignation and began to criticize Mr. Jimo for all his faults. They criticized him verbally and in writing, and the scene was extremely lively.
In the crowd, thin and shrewd men and honest men got together at some point.
