But General Luo is really not the one who has the final say in Shanhaiguan, since the Mo family army was stationed in Shanhaiguan, the people in the city have never been at peace. It's all in trouble, think about it, don't blame the people, the people in the city have a hard life, there are many displaced people in the city, these displaced people are not because they don't want to work, but because they want to farm, and there is land for them to plant, but those lands are too expensive, the end of farming is that the family does not eat or drink, and they have to owe a lot of debts, who dares to plant such land? There was no way, the common people did not dare to farm, so large fields began to be empty.

And those ordinary people who have no land to plant can only become homeless and beggars, living by begging everywhere. No one wants to be a beggar, but they are forced to do nothing. Life is so realistic, in order to live, no matter what you do, you are helpless.

On the one hand, General Luo appeased his soldiers, but on the other hand, he wanted to pacify the people in the city. But the people should not have been in charge of General Luo, and the officials in the city should be held accountable for these things. However, thinking of this, General Luo was helpless. Where are these officials the parents of the people, they are simply the parents of the people, and they just exploit the people layer by layer, and force the people to retreat. General Luo felt that if these people continued to make trouble, it would not only affect the mood of the soldiers, but also make the people of the whole city uneasy.

This is a big disadvantage for guarding Shanhaiguan! General Luo had no choice but to convene the officials in the city to discuss the matter together, hoping that the officials in the city could stop exploiting the people for the time being, at least let the number of displaced people in the city not increase. But as soon as those officials heard about this, they immediately stretched their faces. I don't want to say more to General Luo. Isn't being an official just for greed? Otherwise, what are you doing as an official, it will be difficult to be tired and tired, and you won't even be able to fill your stomach. That's not about having enough to do. And everyone also accused General Luo of meddling with rats, just defend the city well, why bother with the people. Usually, the generals who defend the city and the local officials in various places perform their own duties and do not involve each other. This is because the emperor did not want the military and government to get mixed up in order to divide power and rule. However, this also made the officials not pay attention to the general defending the city at all, and thought that there was only one point in their hearts. Anyway, you're not my immediate boss, what am I afraid of you for?

General Luo was very angry, look at those officials. The fat is flowing with oil, but the people in the city have difficulty even eating enough. Now the people in the city are all privately supporting the Mo family's army, and I heard that some people are still looking forward to the Mo family's army taking Shanhaiguan as soon as possible. Return the land to everyone. So that everyone has land to grow and food to eat? Although General Luo didn't know who was in the city to release these rumors, General Luo believed that the people who were hungry would definitely believe it, and maybe it was these people who opened the city gate in the end.

General Luo really felt that he was in vain as a general defending the city, and he couldn't solve the current situation at all. Moreover, I heard that in the five cities of Guishun, the common people have no worries about food and clothing. There are ordinary people who have fled. It has also been well settled, and I heard that the local tax revenue is only one-third of what it is now, so that as long as the people are not lazy, everyone can have enough to eat, and there is still a little leftover. But the biggest headache at the moment is that the parents and officials in the city are not aware of this problem at all, but blame themselves for defending the city. Should have sent troops to drive away the Mo family army stationed outside Shanhaiguan, General Luo smiled bitterly, these officials are really brainless, if it is easy to fight, why wait until now to let the Mo family army fight under the city?

General Luo reluctantly returned to the mansion, Mrs. Luo was more worried than General Luo, and now the people inside and outside the city are making trouble everywhere and asking to open the city gate. The soldiers defending the city have already captured several groups of people, but what? The common people were not afraid at all, and they still made trouble at the city gate. Mrs. Luo got the letter and was anxious to tell General Luo. General Luo went out early this morning, and when he heard that he was going to a meeting, Mrs. Luo was even more anxious. For such a big matter, if you don't inform the lord earlier, and let the lord think of a way, then the people will really open the city gate, or the people of the whole city will crowd to the city gate. Even if there are soldiers, will it be difficult to kill the whole city together?

Mrs. Luo has now lost hope to the Empress Dowager, and it is not good to say that if it were not for the Empress Dowager's kindness to her, Mrs. Luo would not have supported the Empress Dowager. A poisonous woman who doesn't even let go of her own son and grandson, and still commits adultery and gives birth to children, is really intolerable, how can such a woman be the emperor? Mrs. Luo, the loyal lady of her own master, believes it, and the only thing that Mrs. Luo is worried about is that in the end, Shanhaiguan is lost, and naturally what should the master do. If it falls into the hands of the Mo family, it must be certain death. Mrs. Luo is really worried about the future of her master, and the only thing she wants is for the family to be safe, but what? How easy is this peace!

As soon as General Luo returned home, Mrs. Luo hurriedly explained the matter to General Luo, and General Luo's surprise was no less than that of Mrs. Luo. The common people have gone to the city gates, how can this be good? General Luo kept walking in the main hall, and Mrs. Luo saw the old man walking around, and knew that this was the old man's hurry. But at this time, Mrs. Luo couldn't think of a way, she just hoped that there would be fewer people going to the city gate tomorrow to make trouble, and if it continued to increase, I really don't know what the consequences would be.

"Madam, why don't we open the city gates!"

"What?" Mrs. Luo looked surprised. However, Mrs. Luo agreed in her heart, the main reason was that Mrs. Luo saw so many people suffering, but the corrupt officials in the city were still indifferent, still eating and drinking well, and continued to fish and flesh the people. But this is not a long-term solution, and there are too many of them. They originally had hands and feet, and it was not that they were unwilling to work, but these corrupt officials made it impossible for the common people to live.

General Luo sat down with a sad face: "Madam, I'm going to write my resignation for my husband, I've been guarding Shanhaiguan for so many years, and it's time to retire." Instead of watching the common people suffer, it is better to take the Empress Dowager back. ”

Mrs. Luo hesitated: "Is this really the case?" It's just that I don't know if the Mo family army will treat the soldiers well, everyone will be born and die with you! As soon as we leave, we can't ignore the lives and deaths of these generals. ”

General Luo agreed: "Yes, since this is the case, I have to meet Master Wu." It's just that I didn't expect the army to arrive, but we were in chaos first, but this chaos was also sooner or later. From the increase in the number of displaced people in the city, no matter how many people make their livelihoods more and more difficult, we should expect such a day. ”

After receiving General Luo's letter, Lord Wu finally smiled. From the beginning of his own layout in the city, this letter finally came. Lord Wu immediately repaired the book to Mo Li, who was far away in the border city, and it was easy for Shanhaiguan to take it. Seeing that it has come to the end of the year, I hope that the people of Shanhaiguan can have a good year before the year. (To be continued......)
