"Lord Chen, you don't need to say any more, we will all listen to your lord's orders in this matter!"

When the people heard Chen Chong's impassioned and touching words, they couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts. Crying again, they chanted.

At the beginning of man, nature is good.

Even if there are countless people who do evil in the world, the people who are simple and kind in their hearts still occupy the vast majority.

At this moment, Chen Chong said that Li Zhong, the prefect of Wanzhou, was divided into eight ways to kill and wanted to wash his Yingchuan City with blood, and the people were all indignant and furious.

"Lord Chen, Lord Wang, you say, let's do it." A Confucian squire shouted, "We are willing to believe Lord Wang, as long as Lord Wang speaks, we can do whatever we want." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, I beg you to do justice. We are willing to serve you as the lord of Yingchuan, and wipe out those rebellious ministers and thieves to protect my Yingchuan City from violation. ”

There was a young and strong junior who was ready to fight, and shouted in a neutral tone: "Lord Wang, under Li Yong, I am willing to devote myself to Congrong, fight on the battlefield, protect the family and industry, and implore the adults to succeed." ”

Wang Mang glanced at it and saw that the people's hearts were mobilized, and he was secretly happy.

In the era of cold weapons, the people's will is the most, and the blood is brave.

As long as the people's will reaches the peak, and then plan well, make good use of it, and develop with peace of mind, there will be infinite potential.

When the war is fought together in the future, the people will be invincible and invincible.

He stood up slowly, bowed to the many people below, and said in a deep voice: "Fathers and fellow villagers, Li Zhonghu, the prefect of Wanzhou, has been plotting for many years, and the soldiers are full of food. At this moment, the army is definitely going to expand the territory and plot the entire Han River in the future.

We have no natural danger in Yingchuan, no sufficient food to help us, and no reinforcements to help. This kind of rolling trend is definitely not something that we can overcome by fighting hard now.

Presumably everyone knows that Li Zhong is cruel and ruthless. Once he breaks through Yingchuan City, it will definitely make Yingchuan City bleed, and it will be difficult for tens of thousands of people to survive in the end.

Therefore, my opinion is that I hope that some young people can stand up and join us Yingchuan City soldiers and join us on the battlefield. In order to resist Li Zhong's army for a moment, protect the old father, the old mother, and the young. Child, child. The female and other villagers left first and went to Yuzhou to save the fire, which was the right way.

My uncle Wang Xianzhi is the general of Huwei, sitting in half of Yuzhou. With him to deter the heroes, after you arrive in Yuzhou, you will definitely be able to settle down, and there is no doubt.

Of course, this is my opinion, not the final decision. I invite you to come here today to discuss this matter. If you are willing to go, you can go back and prepare first. If you don't want to leave Yingchuan, I will definitely not persecute it. Now is the time when we should give up something in exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth for future generations.

A few days ago, I had already repaired the book and sent it to Yuzhou, and asked my uncle's soldiers to build a large construction project and reclaim the wasteland. I think that some simple houses have been built at this moment, and I can live in them for a while. Here, I can assure you all. As long as everyone arrives in Yuzhou, everyone can get a few acres of fertile land and a house, and no one can take it away.

After receiving the fertile land and houses, they can cultivate and repair the houses and raise their children with peace of mind. In the future, we will be able to prosper again, and we will be able to survive this era of war and chaos..."

"What? When you arrive in Yuzhou, you can get fertile land and houses? ”

Thousands of people were shocked again, and they looked incredulous.

To them, if this is true, it is no less than an earth-shattering act of good, and they can be called saints.

In the middle of the crowd, there was a middle-aged businessman who was not benevolent to the rich.

This person didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he came this time just to listen to the news, so he could make some arrangements as soon as possible.

Now when he heard Wang Mang's words, he couldn't help but be moved, came out of the crowd, stood at the front, and asked in a deep voice: "Lord Wang Mang, it's not that the grass people don't believe in adults. It's just that no one has ever done it since ancient times, such as sending fields, houses, and money. I have no money, and I have no power, I don't know why you have to arrange it like this, my lord? The grass people also asked the adults to make it clear. ”

Chen Chong, who was standing next to Wang Mang, saw this person standing up and questioning, his face sank, his eyes showed murderous intent, and he introduced to Wang Mang: "Young Master Wang, this person's name is Hu Wan. He was quite wealthy, and he was a wealthy merchant in Yingchuan City, operating cloth and tea business. is a small-bellied chicken intestine, and sometimes does something to harm the people. ”

Wang Mang nodded and smiled at the middle-aged businessman: "Your name is Hu Wan, right?" Hehe, you asked this question well, and it also asked the key.

Why should I spend so much money to help the people? My reason is simple, because I'm stupid. Do you know how many taels of silver I have scattered along the way when I came here from Qingzhou? More than 30,000. I don't know them, they have nothing to do with them. Even they took my money, and I don't know where it is now.

But where did my money come from, did it fall from the sky? No, they all came from the people. As the saying goes, take from the people, use it for the people, and this is the way of the saints.

My wife, Wang Shijingyan, often told me that she had received a lot of help from the people in the past, and hoped that I could do something for the people. Therefore, my move can also be regarded as a wish for my wife, and thank the people who helped my wife in the first place.

Hu Wan, I have heard of you in your life. Your family is rich and wealthy, and you are one of the richest businessmen in Yingchuan. Yet, though you have a great deal of money, you have not done a good deed for the benefit of the people. Of course, it's your business whether you do good deeds or not, and I don't care.

But it's not just that you don't do good, you do a lot of evil. Many of your dealings are to the detriment of the people. There are even a few house slaves, and they are even more arrogant.

Originally, I also wanted to confiscate your money and distribute it to the people. But it was not easy for me to remember that you were a good starter, so I never spoke to you or tried to persuade you.

Now take this opportunity to tell you something. That is, you can't go to Yuzhou, and my Yingchuan soldiers won't protect your family's safety, unless you are willing to take out some family wealth as military expenses. If you leave Yingchuan now and go to other cities, I will not stop you, and it is up to you to decide. ”

"You..."

Hu Wan's face changed, and he was shocked.

Leaving Yingchuan at this moment, and without the protection of soldiers, there is basically only a dead end.

It can even be said that as soon as you leave the city gate, you may be robbed of all the people who are hungry and dazed.

He deeply knows that when a person is on the verge of death, he can do any kind of crazy action.

After weighing it repeatedly, Hu Wan felt that it was better to break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, and there was no need to really ruin the family, so he knelt down and said: "Lord Wang, I am willing to take out half of the family's money and grain to support the Yingchuan soldiers to resist the enemy." I also hope that Lord Wang can protect my family and arrive in Yuzhou to settle down. ”

"Good!"

Wang Mang was overjoyed, nodded and said: "Knowing mistakes can be changed, and kindness is great." Hu Wan, I will not use any of the money you donated privately, but will use all of it to help the people in the city, use it as a road fare, and register the accounts one by one. When you arrive in Yuzhou, I will hand over the accounts to you and the rest of the people for inspection. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Hu Wan got up and walked outside, saying as he walked: "Lord Wang, I'll go and arrange for money and food to be sent to the army." ”

With this person's beginning, some other wealthy businessmen who were thieves also stood up one after another, saying that they would take out some of their money to use as military expenses.

Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?

They now knew that Li Zhong's Eighth Route Army was coming, and it was useless to defect to the surrounding cities. Only by completely leaving the boundary of Yuzhou can we do it.

However, if you want to leave Yuzhou unscathed now, it is really difficult to say that it is as difficult as the sky. At least ninety percent of the family's property will be lost, and even life may not be guaranteed.

As for taking refuge in Li Zhong, they didn't even think about this problem.

If Li Zhong breaks through Yuzhou, what else does he need rich businessmen to do? Wouldn't it be over if you plundered them all?

Wang Mang had a good reputation in his early days and won the trust of many people. Therefore, these wealthy businessmen also felt that it was the safest to go to Yuzhou and take refuge in the territory of Wang Mang's uncle, General Huwei Wang Xianzhi.

The rest of the poor people had nothing to do, so they had to have young and strong young people in their homes, and those who had iron tools took out iron tools and built weapons.

All of a sudden, thousands of people mobilized and spread the news, mobilizing the enthusiasm of tens of thousands of people in the entire Yingchuan City.

After all the people dispersed, Wang Mang said to Chen Chong: "Lord Chen Chong, can you arrange the battle tomorrow?" ”

Chen Chong replied: "Lord Qiqi, I arranged for more than 2,300 people to be stationed in Qiyang Mountain outside the city. At this moment, the city is basically empty, and only a few hundred soldiers are left to maintain order. ”

"More than 2,300 people?"

Wang Mang sighed and said, "It seems that this battle must be quite difficult. Lord Chen Chong, those soldiers who participated in the war, you must register their respective parents and relatives. If they die in battle, they must be given priority in compassionate care.

In the early hours of the morning, he could order these soldiers to escort the people of the city away. Then we led the remaining soldiers and the young strong men who were replenished to go to the battle and act as the rear guard.

In this matter, we must stop Li Zhong from killing and keep the people safe. As long as we successfully complete this matter and then publicize it, we will definitely be able to win the response of the suffering people in the world and increase our foundation. ”

Chen Chong smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wang, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult. Not to mention that it is a long way to Yuzhou, there are many robbers and robbers on the road. Disturb. Just talking about stopping Li Zhong's army, this matter is also extremely difficult. ”

"How could I not know about this?" Wang Mang replied: "As long as we have fought one or two battles and blocked Li Zhong's army for a few days, we can evacuate when the people are far away."

Think about it, what would happen if we abandoned the city and left with only our soldiers? Shall all the people of the world say that we have no righteousness?

Back then, Uncle Liu Huang blessed the people to cross the river and flee together, avoiding Prime Minister Cao Cheng's pursuit, why can't I follow suit? If Uncle Liu hadn't done that at that time, how could he have won the reputation of benevolence and righteousness that the world admires? Without a reputation, even if he has the help of Zhuge Kongming through the ages, how can he establish a foundation? The reason why I want to protect the people to go to Yuzhou now is to be Uncle Liu Huang's second. ”

"Uncle Liuhuang? Prime Minister Cao? Zhuge Kongming through the ages? ”

Chen Chong was stunned for a moment, his eyes were stunned, he couldn't figure out who these people were, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Wang, who are the Uncle Liu Huang you are talking about?" The lower officials are shallow in their studies, and I really don't know which celebrities they are. However, Lord Wang, this idea of yours is indeed wonderful, and with a reputation, it is easy to act in the future. ”

"Uh..."

Wang Mang was speechless and a little embarrassed.

Uncle Liu Huang, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and Zhuge Kongming were figures at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they have not yet been born. It could only appear more than two hundred years later, but he didn't know how to explain it.

After laughing dryly, Wang Mang replied: "These people are all ancient books. You don't have to worry about the characters in the record. Now that the people's hearts have almost been mobilized, you can go and prepare and deal with the money and food sent by the young men who have joined the army and the rich businessmen. After waiting for a while, the people were completely evacuated, and we went to the front line to call Li Zhong, drag him by the hands and feet, and see what mysteries he had. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, the lower officials will go and supervise it!" Chen Chong replied.
