Chapter 12: The Human Heart (II)
The common people, no matter where they are, are the easiest people to satisfy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Especially the poorer the place, the simpler these people's requirements or thoughts.
Just like this small border city without a name, the people in them are full of thoughts about how to survive this winter more peacefully.
Fortunately, since the Qin army came, the city lord who was in charge of collecting taxes in the past no longer knew where he had gone.
Although there was a more noble Heavenly Master living in this City Lord's Mansion, the Heavenly Master didn't care about their taxes. On weekdays, you can't even see a human figure.
Without the heavy rent of grain, they will not have to worry about food this winter.
Unfortunately, the Qin army was heavily cutting down on the mountain, so that they had many fewer opportunities to enter the mountain. Without animal skins and enough woodwood, it is inevitable that they will be exposed to the cold.
And at this time, it was the Qin army that entered the city.
When the Qin army entered the city, everyone was afraid. Hiding at home, not even daring to wait and see.
On the other hand, Qin Jun didn't seem to want to have any contact with this group of people, so he just put his clothes and some meat on the street and left.
There was no shouting, and there was no viciousness. I left something behind and left without even saying hello.
Looking at the clothes and meat in front of their homes, many people were moved. As soon as the Qin army left with the front foot, they had already gone out with the back foot.
"You don't want to die!"
However, just as everyone wanted to take their clothes home, an old voice roared out.
The owner of the voice, everyone knows, is a respected farmer here, who has helped everyone on weekdays and is kind to people.
His roar made everyone stunned. Looking at the thick clothes in his hand and the tempting meat, he couldn't take it or put it down.
"Don't you see what they look like? It's completely different from us, maybe there's something hidden in this meat, what if something happens to you? ”
Saying this, many women were so frightened that they let go of the things in their hands. The flesh on the clothes rolled to the ground and stuck a lot of dust.
Seeing that many people put down the things in their hands, the old man sighed and said: "Let's be cold this winter, there is enough food, it's a big deal that everyone squeezes it, and no one can die." ”
"But, I see those people, in groups, want to kill us, do they need to poison us?"
Maybe it was a child's words, or maybe it was a little hungry and fainting looking at the meat on the ground, a teenager about thirteen or fourteen years old couldn't help but refute.
As soon as these words came out, many people also showed expressions of approval on their faces, and they all looked at the old man, wanting to wait for him to make an excuse.
However, the old man blushed and didn't know how to refute.
"That's it! All right! Let's all go back, I can't starve to death anyway, what's wrong with patience? At this time, a man in the prime of life walked out and shouted at everyone.
Maybe it was to take care of the old man's face, and everyone went back obediently.
However, by the next morning, the meat and clothing on the street were gone.
No one asked, no one even went out, everyone just tacitly agreed.
A few days later, futons appeared on the streets again. And the process was similar as before, at night, I heard the door of the neighbor's house open and close.
Qin Jun's movements, the Avatar Heavenly Master in the City Lord's Mansion, it is impossible not to know.
It's just that, in his opinion, the hillbillies in a few border towns are not worth his eyes at all.
What's more, although he was a high-level person, he didn't know about the unhappiness between the Qin people and the Heavenly Master Palace.
His reflection still stays on the friendly cooperation between the Heavenly Master Hall and the Qin people. Even, he heard that the Qin people gave the Great Heavenly Master a sword made by a dwarf.
Okay, isn't this relationship iron-clad?
In that case, what do you care? If he makes the Qin people unhappy, he is not without enemies in the Heavenly Master Palace.
As the days passed, the Qin army's help to the people in the border city was like flowing water, endless.
The people of the border city also went from being sneaky at the beginning to being bright and bright later. There were even many children, wearing the clothes given by the Qin people, circling around the soldiers of the Qin army.
And the soldiers of the Qin army are no longer as ruthless as they are in the barracks. Whenever you meet someone, you will always greet them with a smile and greet them in that half-baked language.
Winter turns to spring, the weather gradually warms up, but between the border city people and the Qin people, it seems to have entered summer, becoming more hot.
"Is this the city you built in one winter?" In the lower city, looking at the dozens of miles long city, many people in the border city said without stammering.
"yes." One of the lieutenants replied with a smile.
"It's huge!" Many people said submergedly.
"Let's go, I'll take you to my house to sit down." The Lieutenant smiled and pointed to the city gate in the distance.
"Good, good ......"
A group of border city people, as if they had lost their souls, nodded subtly.
Then, as soon as they entered the city, they were dazzled by the rows of houses.
"It would be nice if I could live in a house like this!" A voice rang out in their hearts almost at the same time.
Time passed quickly, and at sunset, the lieutenant had to leave with all the people in the border city.
Although the lower city is a city, it is now more than a military camp.
Bringing people in is allowed by the peak, but it must not be too much and attract criticism.
The people who returned to the border city suddenly became hot figures for everyone. The border city, which had no activity in the first place, was lively for a while.
The crowd gathered around the campfire and listened to the men tell the story of the city.
For example, the long and inconvenient city walls, the houses that are more powerful than the city lord's mansion, and the bronze and wood people who can move, countless things, in the ears of these border city people, are simply incredible.
The generosity of the Qin people, the wealth of the Qin people, and the strength of the Qin people are all sharpening the hearts of the people in this city.
Now, almost all the people in the border city are eager to go to the lower city. Go to heaven next to the place where the demon was born.
The life of the border city people is getting better day by day because of the Qin people, but Ying Zheng doesn't care about what these border city people do.
Under the huge strength of the Qin army, it was only a matter of time before these people from the border city who were not familiar with the world returned to their hearts.
And Yingzheng, what he really cares about is the army of the upcoming Adley Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, the first batch of Yardrians in charge of escorting grain is almost here. In a month at most, you will arrive in that city. Behind Ying Zheng, Chen Ping said with a straight face.
Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Chen Ping, who had a calm face but was like a volcano ready to go, and couldn't help asking, "How sure is Aiqing?" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as they enter the lower city, the minister can guarantee that when they return to the country, it will be the time when my Great Qin is famous all over the world!"
"Really? In this case, I have Lao Aiqing. ”
"Whoa!"
Chen Ping arched his hand and saluted Yingzheng again.
More than half a month later, in the distance of the border city, an army finally appeared with flags waving.
And under this banner in the sky, in addition to those carts of grain and grass, there are also a large number of elites wearing iron armor.
