Chapter 705: Buying People's Hearts

It's raining on the boundaries of Zhongxing Province these days!

If it is a year of peace, the people will definitely beat gongs and drums to celebrate.

Because when it rains, the crops will be moistened, and the harvest will meet expectations. This way you won't go hungry, and it's a good year.

Unfortunately, this year has been a turbulent year.

The refugee situation has long affected the sowing and farming in the vicinity of Chung Hing Province.

After all, the seeds that were sown into the fields were dug up and eaten by the refugees without paying attention.

Later, there was the Battle of Yuan Xia, in order to recover the four counties of Hexi in one fell swoop, the Xia Kingdom secretly prepared for a long time.

Although the power of the country cannot be called, it has also cost half of the country's strength.

In the end, the Xia country has few people and is narrow, and the country is not as strong as Dayuan.

In the face of the enemy of Dayuan, how can you not show the ruthlessness of a lion fighting a rabbit.

But the final result was to disappoint everyone in Xia Kingdom. Sizhou County not only confiscated the recovery, but also caught up with Liangzhou.

Now, the entire Hexi belongs to Dayuan.

Later, they confronted each other on the banks of the Yellow River for so long, and the army was stationed for a day, and the money and food consumed were astronomical. The imperial court only levied taxes, regardless of the life or death of the people. Many people have been forced to flee their homes, exacerbating the plight of the refugees.

In the end, the inner city of Zhongxing Mansion was destroyed due to a shocking change, and the royal family forgot about it.

In fact, the Xia Kingdom is equivalent to destroying the country.

Therefore, in the face of Dayuan's attack, several military divisions of the Xia State could not form a unified external front. As a result, the Yuan Kingdom easily took over the Zhongxing Mansion and became the de facto master of the Xia Kingdom.

Li Chengye walked in the depressed outer city, and nine out of ten shops were closed. The only one left was a coffin seller.

Recently, the most prosperous business in Zhongxing Mansion is the coffin shop.

There are so many ruined rich and noble families in the inner city, and they are not short of money. Unlike ordinary poor people, they can't even afford a straw mat. If you die, you will be thrown directly into a mass grave, and if you are lucky, you will rot naturally. If you are unlucky, you may be eaten as food by hungry people or wild dogs.

At this time, Ge Yunfei, the envoy of the Great Yuan in Xia, rushed to meet him.

He made the right choice!

Although there are risks in the Xia country, the rewards are also gratifying.

At present, he is in charge of Zhongxing Mansion, and the entire capital of Xia Kingdom is under his control.

Although above him, there is also a mansion Yin of the Xia Kingdom.

But it was a fig leaf, so that the Xia people who took refuge in the past knew Dayuan's tolerance. In fact, the real power is still in the hands of his deputy.

"Lord Wang, the treasures of the imperial city have been counted. When do you see it? Ge Yunfei asked: "There is also the loss of the inner city, and the general inventory has also been calculated." There were eight destroyed dukes' mansions, namely the Zhao Palace, the Yongwang Mansion, and the Zhou Palace······ There are six mansions of first-class officials of the imperial court, 27 mansions of officials above the middle level, and 163 mansions of ordinary mansions······".

Although Xia is a small country, as the capital of a country, there is always some wealth. Moreover, in the past two hundred years, the Xia Kingdom has been accumulated from generation to generation by several lords, and the amount of property is also considerable.

Although Dayuan didn't rob ordinary people, he didn't say that he didn't want things from rich and noble people.

After all, it costs money to fight a war! Always relying on the treasury to subsidize, where is more than plundering the capital of a country.

This is also a tradition in the Dayuan army.

Before attacking the Huihe Kingdom and the Eastern Qarakhanid Kingdom, they plundered their capitals. The armies that fought were also rewarded with additional rewards.

It's like taking a commission!

In addition to the fixed salary paid by the imperial court, there are also some more subsidies for them. The more you loot, the more you make up.

This also made Dayuan's army the most fond of the battle to destroy the country.

The march was so rapid that it was with the psychology of winning Zhongxing Mansion to make a fortune.

Li Chengye is also more concerned about this!

After listening to Ge Yunfei's report, he said loudly: "Let's recheck all the belongings, and in a few days, this king will report to the capital together." ”。

Ge Yunfei immediately responded, saying that he would definitely handle this matter. Li Chengye asked again: "How is the construction of the soup kitchen?" These days, but there are still people starving to death? ”。

The soup kitchen is one of the 'good governance' vigorously established by the Yuan army after it was stationed in Zhongxing Mansion.

This is Dayuan's long-standing means of buying people's hearts. Not afraid of spending, not afraid of trouble, as long as you can gain the hearts of the people, you will build more and do more.

Of course, Da Yuan is not a fool!

The materials used to build the soup kitchens were dismantled from the houses in the inner and outer cities. The manpower was selected from the captives and made them wear the clothes of the Yuan people, and the refugees only thought that it was the Yuan people who worked for them.

As for the rice for cooking porridge, it's even simpler. The entire Zhongxing Mansion belongs to Dayuan, and the grain stored by those rich and noble families is naturally also Dayuan's. And in order to maintain a good reputation, Dayuan didn't do it himself. Only instigated the captives to mix among the refugees and go to the houses of the rich and noble.

I don't know if it's fair, but it's certain to buy and sell.

Fortunately, many people are dead, and it is convenient to buy. And the people who robbed the inner city before were not all refugees. Many of them are hooligans and ruffians in Zhongxing Mansion, and these people are the best at fishing in troubled waters, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. The Yuan army only needs to pack a few to blow up a lot of stolen goods.

And punishing these people can also gain the favor of ordinary people and buy people's hearts.

The Yuan army has only entered the city for a few days, and the security of Zhongxing Mansion has become better than ever. The refugees stopped making trouble, and the nobles stopped bullying people. The Yuan army was afraid that the refugees would be idle, so they asked them to help with the work.

Each performs its own duties, and the faction is peaceful and peaceful.

"Two hundred soup kitchens have been built, and all the refugees within a radius of ten miles have come. Since yesterday, no one has starved to death except for those who have starved their bodies and bones and really can't be saved. Ge Yunfei responded.

"Hmmm! Don't be afraid to consume food, we will collect as much as the refugees come. Gansu Province and Tianshan Province are short of people, so you let the people below do a good job of immigration propaganda. Li Chengye walked to the outer city wall, saw that people were rushing to the capital one after another in the distance, and then said: "The means of immigration cannot be too hard. They will go, and if they don't go, we won't force them to go. ”。

Immigration work has always been the focus of Dayuan!

At present, Li Chengye took advantage of the fact that Ma Lu's side had not yet issued a plan to deal with the Xia State, and at the same time, the Yuan army happened to be in the Xia State to cover the sky with one hand, so he pushed the people under him to carry out immigration work.

After all, it is bypassing the Dayuan Immigration Division, and there is a suspicion of overstepping its authority.

Therefore, the movement should not be too big!

In addition, the time is tight, and Dayuan's energy is mainly focused on the north to prevent the Mongol counterattack. For immigrants, you can only hold one by one. It is impossible to spend all your energy on immigrants, resulting in a reversal of priorities.

Ge Yunfei once again said that he would definitely do a good job, so he left quickly.
