Chapter 186: Buying Food
Mu Yangqing finally understood what Fu Yanqing meant by what he said.
If Yancheng really fights with the imperial court to the end, then the imperial court will not only not get Yancheng, but will even lose a lot. If it was the former imperial court, then naturally it didn't matter.
But the current court has already been stormy, and to put it mildly, the current court has already existed in name only. Even the so-called saints today are just those who have great power and want to make people submit to them through the royal family.
What's more, is it true that if they are obedient, they are really leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade? If so, why do so many people refuse?
Mu Yangqing didn't say that he hadn't inquired about what happened to the people after they surrendered to the imperial court, but after inquiring, he knew that if they were really obedient, they wouldn't get any benefits. Not only that, but it is even possible to subvert their own lives for the citizens of the city, who were originally living a good life.
If this is the reason why Mu Yangqing refused the imperial court in the first place, the imperial court just wants to hold these cities firmly in its own hands.
After all, the imperial court existed in name only, and there was no army that could be used, so naturally it had to find a way to get other cities into its own hands.
But Mu Yangqing and the others did not cooperate very much, and there was a situation where they would be rejected by Mu Yangqing.
"But if one day the imperial court becomes stronger, what will happen to Yancheng, who has refused to be recruited by the imperial court?" Mu Yangqing asked.
"If the imperial court is really strong, I don't mind taking Yancheng to submission, but I also need them to be really strong. It's not just talking, after all, it's useless to talk about it, is it? ”
The words have already been said for this part, what else is not clear about Mu Yangqing? In fact, this is a clear statement, and they don't believe that the imperial court will become strong at all.
But also, Dayue has a history of more than 100 years now. According to the national strength, it should be strong, but the first two monarchs are greedy for pleasure.
By the time it came to this monarch, there really wasn't much left for him. So no matter how hard this monarch is, if he doesn't have anything in his hands, isn't it in vain?
So even if more than ten years have passed, Da Yue has just gradually recovered, and it turned out to be such a thing again.
I'm already exhausted today, and I'm just struggling to support myself!
"What's more, as the lord of the city, the most important thing is for our citizens to live their lives well, without worrying about not having food, without worrying about not having clothes to wear, and not worrying about not having a place to live. This is what we, the city lords, should do, as for who will be in charge of the world in the future, what does it have to do with me? ”
Only then did Mu Yangqing understand why Fu Yanqing was able to get to this point as a woman. To tell the truth, even he didn't have other thoughts in his heart, but now it seems that he is not as good as this.
People have never had such thoughts in their hearts, and if they have any ideas, it is to hope that the lives of the citizens under their rule can be better.
Just for this point, I can't compare to others. First of all, it is this ideological consciousness, and others are much higher than themselves.
"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, thank you City Lord Fu for answering your doubts." Mu Yangqing arched his hand.
Fu Yanqing returned the salute, "It's easy to say." ”
Mu Yangqing got the answer he wanted to know from Fu Yanqing, and since he wouldn't continue to stay.
As soon as Mu Yangqing left, Han Yan immediately asked: "Miss, this Mu City master and slave feel very strange, could it be that he has any other ideas!" ”
Fu Yanqing glanced at Han Yan, and sincerely felt that Han Yan might have guessed wrong. What could he think? And most importantly, he doesn't get anything from himself, does he?
"Really? So what else does he think? Fu Yanqing deliberately teased Han Yan.
Han Yan just felt so in her heart, if she really asked her if she knew what Mu Yangqing had in mind when she did this, then this was deliberately embarrassing her.
"This slave doesn't know very well."
Fu Yanqing: "He is the city lord, so he naturally thinks a lot." But it's not for us! "I think I had such a plan at the beginning, but I don't know why, but now it seems that this idea has been dispelled.
Of course, it would be best if Mu Yangqing could dispel this idea by himself. After all, he is also the city lord of Juncheng, although Fu Yanqing is not afraid in his heart, if he really has a bad relationship with Mu Yangqing, it will not do him any good to Yancheng.
"By the way, I heard that there has always been a lot of food in Juncheng, I think this time it is better for us to buy some food in Juncheng, what do you think?"
Han Yan looked at Fu Yanqing in surprise, as if she didn't quite understand how her young lady suddenly jumped from discussing Mu Yangqing, the city lord, to the grain in Juncheng.
But what her young lady said was right, no one would dislike the abundance of food. If there is such an opportunity, it must not be missed.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
"Bring some armor!" Fu Yanqing admonished.
After all, this is not Yancheng, and the issue of safety still needs to be paid attention to.
Even if Mu Yangqing had already told his subordinates in person, there was no need to stare at Fu Yanqing and the others anymore. But those people in the City Lord's Mansion were obviously still not at ease with Fu Yanqing, so it was conceivable that the people who were staring at them would still not be at ease.
But when they saw that Fu Yanqing and the others were not planning anything else, but were buying food, they gradually stopped paying attention to Fu Yanqing and the others.
Although he had already known that there was a lot of grain in Juncheng before, Fu Yanqing never thought that he would be able to buy hundreds of thousands of catties of grain in Juncheng.
Fortunately, she has a system, otherwise she really has no place to put so much food.
Originally, Aunt Shen still had some doubts about Fu Yanqing saying that she was the city lord of Yancheng, but now, she really didn't have any doubts at all.
After all, she was able to bring so much armor, and she was able to take out so many copper coins to buy so much food, if she wasn't the city lord, how could she take out this?
So, for going to Yancheng, Aunt Shen was looking forward to it even more, and she couldn't wait to go to Yancheng immediately.
However, judging from the current situation, Fu Yanqing clearly has no plans to leave. Aunt Shen naturally didn't want to urge Fu Yanqing, so she had to ask Hanyan in a roundabout way, who made Hanyan, a maid, be treated more by Fu Yanqing's daughter than herself? Therefore, inquiring about Fu Yanqing's meaning through cold smoke may be a little more effective than asking Fu Yanqing before.
