Chapter 254: Grief is all over the wilderness, and the people are in trouble

The things in this world are a few joys and a few sorrows, Hengying welcomed back Zhong Yi, and the old pavilion master welcomed back his son.

But in Bai Zhiguo, as soon as Ji Fansheng came out of the lively farewell banquet, he saw another miserable scene.

After the war, the common people are still displaced, they help the old and the young, and it is difficult to pass through the school on the country road

Their clothes were all in tatters, not even Ayara, and even ordinary cloth could not completely cover their bodies; And the exposed skin was so yellow, it didn't look like the roundness of the nobles at all.

Who would have thought that just after leaving the royal city of Bai Zhi Kingdom, he saw the sad appearance of these people.

Recalling the mountains of food at the palace banquet just now, as well as the fine wine brewed from grain, one jar after another was placed under the porch, waiting for the dignitaries to take it at will.

This stark contrast made Ji Fansheng's heart ache, and let them govern by themselves, but I am afraid that the common people will still have to live this kind of hard life.

According to the original plan, the army was reinforced by boat, and although those people arrived a few days late, they had already reached the near sea.

Emperor Xuande went to join them, and then he went home first.

As for whether Bai Zhiguo would become a vassal state of the Hongyin Dynasty, or directly become a province, he was thinking about going back to discuss with the courtiers before making further plans.

Although Hengying has been more than once before traveling, extraordinary times must be used, do not stick to the old rules.

But Ji Fansheng didn't listen to it, all he was worried about was cracking the secret of the healing tower, should he go directly to the mysterious continent, should he go to Ruoshui?

However, the world is changing, and the lighthouse has disappeared out of thin air, and what is in front of him is still the problem of practical governance, rather than riding the wind and waves and exploring the new continent as it is rumored.

He felt that fate was really unfair, why did he have to bear these heavy things, and he had to let himself see these people's suffering.

If they could have walked away, if those nobles had not been arrogant enough to ignore the lives of the people outside the city, maybe everything would have been different.

But after witnessing all this, Ji Fansheng made a bold decision.

He decided not to go back to Haojing for the time being, and as for the reinforcements who were waiting for them in the coastal waters, he informed them to come ashore.

Soon, at the port, Ji Fansheng looked at the army waving flags, full of confidence and ambition.

Bai Zhiguo, let me give you a better lord.

After Ji Fansheng made that important decision, it was as if he was a different person, putting away the so-called gentleness and elegance.

Bai Zhiguo is now in chaos, and what he needs is not a benevolent monarch, not a good master, but a strong leader.

When he re-led the troops back, those nobles were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the Hongyin Dynasty, which had always advocated etiquette and morality, would also become like this.

Isn't it a good monarch to discuss politics?

Isn't it a good hoe to help the weak?

Isn't it a good Borneo co-master?

What does this do? Hujing Kingdom just wants a lighthouse, but the Hongyin Dynasty wants to annex Bai Zhi Kingdom.

By the time the nobles came to their senses, it was too late.

When they were guillotined one by one, they learned that previous experience is not important, and luck may be the most relied on in troubled times.

After quickly quelling the rebellion of the nobles in various places, those who were nimble began to find people to surrender and give gifts to Emperor Xuande, indicating that they were wholeheartedly attached without any strings attached.

However, Emperor Xuande was unwilling to adopt the previous governance model, and he issued a proclamation to let the old nobles from all over the country come to the royal city to surrender within a time limit, and issued a ban on alcohol throughout the territory of Baizhi Kingdom.

In order to bring the people back to the land, in the ownerless wasteland, to appease the homeless.

Those members of the Hualang Society who followed the expedition had fought for the first time, but they still had extremely rich experience in governance in China.

They offered their opinions and suggestions, and carried out drastic reforms in Bai Zhiguo.

After these displaced people were settled, the provisional government demanded a tax of ten acres, and the people gradually became comfortable and willing to cultivate their fields instead of wandering.

But this fierce public appropriation and division of the property of the great nobles also aroused some strong opposition from Rao, who feared that the wealth accumulated over generations would be expropriated in this way.

Immediately after, one murder after another began to be staged.

Those local nobles spread rumors about the tyranny of Emperor Xuande everywhere, and he came to Baizhi Kingdom to be a demon lord.

Another legend of Bai Zhiguo that has been passed down for hundreds of years has been intimidating the people here.

Legend has it that in addition to the wise emperors, there is also the most evil and ferocious demon lords in the world, and once they ascend to the throne, they will cause hellish suffering to the people.

Everyone cannot escape the clutches of the Demon Lord, and the current monarch is sent to save everyone from the Demon Lord, and the nobles are also good assistants to the lord of the country.

If the Demon Lord comes to the world, then everyone will not be able to live.

Their Emperor Xuande is the legendary Demon King, if they don't destroy him, everyone in the Baizhi Kingdom will die.

Under the advocacy of such evil remarks, the hatred for Emperor Xuande became deeper and deeper.

At first, the nobles bought assassins for assassination, but they were discovered in time by Emperor Xuande's close guards.

But gradually, the masses who did not know the truth were also blinded, and began to ambush in the place where Emperor Xuande traveled.

Someone attacked his carriage, and when he came out, others surrounded him and attacked Emperor Xuande with axes or sickles.

When faced with specially trained assassins, both Emperor Xuande and his attendants could not hesitate to kill them.

But in the face of these real people, Emperor Xuande hesitated, these people were obviously ordinary peasants, and some were even women and children.

What was it about them that changed their minds?

Emperor Xuande couldn't sleep at night, and he thought of a brilliant way.

If the Three Holy Sects can move so many people in Haojing, then they can still do it here.

In the means of governance in this world, if violence cannot solve the problem, then religion must do.

He thought of Wangshu, and thought that she should be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility here.

Emperor Xuande immediately sent a letter and asked Wangshu to bring people to Bai Zhiguo to preach.

Before that, he had done one more thing, something that would have cemented his name as a tyrant in later generations.

He wanted to give her a Bai Zhiguo who had no power to resist before Wangshu came.

As long as there are no mobs and no weapons of resistance, then after the mission, there will only be obedient people here, and there will only be a new Baizhi province that will always submit and praise to the Hongyin Dynasty.

That's right, it's the new Angelica Province, so decided.
