Chapter 1008: Honor in Troubled Times 76
When Xiao Yuan was holding the funeral for the old lady, the vanguard sent by Nanyi had already arrived in Yuechuan Mansion.
These people pretended to be small merchants and vendors, and it was easy to enter the city of Yuechuan Prefecture.
They scattered around the city and began to spread all kinds of rumors.
and,Quietly brainwash people who have come into contact with themγ
For example, Wang San played a merchant, he walked the streets and alleys to sell goods, and the goods he brought were cheaper and of good quality, so naturally many people bought them from him.
In addition, Wang San also brought some salt, which he also sold to the people of Fucheng in private.
When some people bought salt from Wang San, Wang San pretended to be surprised and said: "Why are you so short of salt?" No, I got this salt from Nanyi, but I heard over there, the third master of Nanyi Mansion knew that there was a shortage of salt here in Yuechuan, but he transported several carts of salt, saying that he saw that the people of Yuechuan Mansion were living in difficulty, and these salts were sold at a low price, and they were all used to accumulate virtue, how could they ...... The price of salt here is still so high, huh?"
He said this with his front foot, and his companion on his back foot said to the men, " Let me tell you, these officials and rich businessmen in Yuechuan Mansion are not a thing, as soon as the cheap salt transported from Nanyi entered Yuechuan, they were asked to rob it, you said that if they robbed it and sold it to the people at a low price, they got it into their own private treasury, and sold it little by little, and the selling price was still high, and the salt of Yuechuan Mansion was lifted by them, we came from Pingyang, the salt price of Pingyang Mansion was much lower, and the government of the people also sent grain, you here...... Tsk, how do people live? β
Others said to the people: "When will such an official government not rebel, let me tell you, my second aunt's eldest cousin's cousin-in-law's neighbor's sister is a girl in the prefect's house, and she overheard the prefect and those rich businessmen saying that the price will increase in the future, not only salt, but also grain, no matter where the grain is transported, they will stop it and send it to their private treasury, and then sell it to you at a high price, they don't want you to live." β
Others told the people how good Nanyi's life was.
"Oh, don't you know, Nanyi's salt is cheap, a copper plate has a lot of big piles, enough for us to eat for half a month and a month, our mother-in-law, just look at the cheap salt, when cooking, you can put salt hard, it's really salty to me, and ah, the road built by Nanyi is good, smooth and smooth, and very clean, Xiao Sanye said, such a road should be repaired throughout Nanyi, not only in the prefecture city, but also in the counties and townships below, and even every village must have at least one big road, our taxes there are also low, and the government will give money to let the people work, you look at my face, have you seen it, I was much thinner than you earlier, Since Xiao Sanye came to power, ouch, I eat enough every day, and I have only been raising it for a few months to be so fat, and my mother-in-law still dislikes me and urges me to lose weight. β
"Don't you know, we Nanyi have a lot of fat people now, and many people's mothers-in-law are as fat as a ball, one by one shouting to lose weight, to lose weight, but the food is too good, no way, I am hungry for a day today, and Ming'er can eat it vigorously when she sees delicious food. β
The people of Yuechuan Mansion are envious, jealous and hateful.
Many people began to wonder in private, why Xiao Sanye was not in Yuechuan Mansion, if he was in Yuechuan Mansion, how good the people of Yuechuan would be, they also wanted to eat fat balls, and they also wanted to have the mother-in-law who was shouting to lose weight, and they also wanted to walk on a smooth and smooth road.
Xiao Yuan's sailors were scattered, and it didn't take long for the hearts of the people in Yuechuan Mansion to fluctuate more and more.
This is just the power of the water army, not counting the paparazzi.
Those paparazzi are even more seamless.
In a few days, what happened to the prefect's back house, what happened to the aunt of a rich merchant and whom, what official went to the Qinglou, which official spent a lot of money in the Qinglou, and who was fighting with whom to get rich, anyway, let them inquire about it, and then spread it through the navy.
This caused the people to grit their teeth with hatred.
They were dying of hunger, but those in power were still having fun.
Think about how hard the officials of Nanyi are, how they are masters of the people, how upright Nanyi's atmosphere is, and they hate those who are officials.
Then, there were also poems recited by the navy in front of them, such as the stinky meat of Zhumen dogs, and the frozen bones on the road, which made the people sad, sad and angry.
The sailors stirred up trouble everywhere, and one by one the sparks were scattered, and after a month, it became a wilderness fire.
At this time, the large army had quietly arrived near Yuechuan Mansion.
The large army made contact with the naval army on the side of the Yuechuan Prefecture.
That night, the officials and wealthy merchants of Yuechuan Mansion were still as usual, eating to their heart's content, and sleeping with their concubines in their arms.
Secretly, the sailors began to move.
They have developed a lot of people from Yuechuan here to join them.
They took these people to the granary of Fucheng, quietly gave the soldiers who were guarding the door to the results, and opened the granary and quickly began to transport the grain out, and after transporting the grain, they began to ignite the fire, in addition to the granary, as well as the prefect's yamen and the backyard of several rich merchants were also lit.
As soon as the fire nodded, they began to shout with people: "It's terrible, it's on fire, it's on fire, it's on fire, it's a bad thing, the granary is on fire, isn't it going to kill people, everyone hurry up, the backyard of the Zhang family is also on fire, everyone hurry up and grab some food while it's in chaos, otherwise don't want to live." β
When everyone saw that the granaries were on fire, they were really anxious.
If the granary is not on fire, everyone still has some hope, but it really can't go on, and the government should also give some porridge or something.
But if all the grain in the granary is burned, then there really won't be any life.
At this point, everyone is really red-eyed, and they all take up arms to rob the rich, the granary, the salt and so on.
The people of Nanyi took advantage of the chaos to quietly open the city gate.
Nanyi's large army entered the city of Yuechuan without much effort, and the prefect was woken up by someone, and Dong Da had already led his troops in to surround the entire Yamen.
As soon as the prefect woke up, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, and the knife was on his neck.
Dong Da and Li Chenshu quickly took control of Yuechuan Mansion, and then sent someone to report to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan asked Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling to prepare troops and horses, and Dong Da's people on both sides of Pingyang, in the years ago, completely took Yuechuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion into possession, he immediately owned the land of Wufu, these five mansions almost occupy most of the territory south of Jiangnan, except for a few Tusi in the southwest, it can be said that Xiao Yuan owns almost half of the land in the south of Daqi.
He personally led his troops to expand outward, in addition to these five prefectures, he also occupied some territories in the southwest, and persuaded a few Tusi to surrender, and it was like a sharp knife, pointing directly at the entire south of the Yangtze River.
