Chapter 1046: The Desire of the People

The life of the people of Tongcheng is better than that of Huizhou City, after all, they have not been injured by the soldiers who attacked the city, but it is also a border city, and the people are just as hard, not as good as the people in the prosperous city.

Jiang Jiuniang walked around briefly, and then went back and asked her son to write a notice on behalf of the soldiers, so that the soldiers could post it in the most eye-catching place in the city to ensure that the people in the city could see it.

"Wool harvesting?"

"What does the government want wool for?"

"Could it be a code word, saying that it is wool, but in fact it is our sheep?"

"Eh, that's how! That's our lifeline! ”

……

The people were in chaos in an instant, before the officers and soldiers of Beiyan said that they would not harm them, they still believed it, and it was only a few days before they were going to snatch their sheep, which was more unacceptable than killing them directly.

"Look closely, what are you yelling about!"

The soldiers guarding the notice were a little angry, not wanting these people to misunderstand their wife, so they shouted to everyone to be quiet.

"What our lady wants is wool, this wool is useless in your hands, you go back and cut it and clean it up, and send it to the yamen to exchange money, our wife will not ask for your things in vain!"

The soldier had a loud voice, and he was wearing a woolen sweater, so he naturally knew that wool could be of great use, and he didn't want these people to misunderstand, so as to delay the affairs of his wife.

Sure enough, after he explained, everyone was stunned and couldn't believe that this was true.

The government will always make them hand over things unconditionally, and never give money, because those people feel that they should pay for the government.

Just like the soldiers in the city had no food before, they also went door-to-door to let them give up their food, but fortunately, they were used to saving money and used to it, and the family survived with a little food, otherwise they could still live until now?

But now the invading Beiyan people said that they would use money to buy their wool, they didn't believe it, after all, their parents and officials in the Eastern Court couldn't do it so well, let alone the Beiyan people?

I heard that when Dongting captured Beiyan Huizhou City before, he burned and plundered in the city, and directly drove the people in the city away, but now it is their turn, Beiyan not only did not retaliate, but also gave them money!

However, the Beiyan people just wanted wool, and they didn't lose anything, so they didn't have any opinions and went back to shearing sheep.

Everyone is selfish, knowing that the weather is still cold, and if they cut too much, the sheep will die, so they all cut some within the tolerance range to perfunctory.

However, when the wool was sent to the yamen, there were really officers and soldiers weighing at the door, and then paying according to the number of catties!

Several large baskets around him were filled with copper coins, and two beautiful women dressed in rich clothes next to them were allocating money and keeping accounts, in an orderly manner.

Everyone was not calm in an instant, and if they knew that they were really giving money, they would cut more!

But now it's too late, so I can only hurry to line up to get the money, and get the money in hand first!

Jiang Jiuniang said while allocating money: "We have always collected wool, everyone does what they can, at least to ensure that the sheep in the family can live well, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses!" After a while, we still need to collect goat milk, and when the time comes, we will post notices, and those who have goods at home can be sent to the designated place for sale, and we will not harm anyone with one hand and one hand delivery! ”

When Jiang Jiuniang said this, she deliberately made her voice very gentle, and told everyone clearly, how could she be a weak woman?

There was also a soldier next to him introducing: "These two are the wives of our General Lu and General Qin respectively, and what they said is absolutely valid!" In the future, you are all our people of Beiyan, and our wife is willing to take you to make money together and live a good life! As long as you work with peace of mind, you will definitely have a fat year next year! ”

This soldier is a clever man, Jiang Jiuniang has never explained this, he just stood in the crowd and repeated these words over and over again, so that these people trust Jiang Jiuniang, and by the way, they have a beautiful vision for the future.

Jiang Jiuniang is very optimistic about such talents, there is a lack of capable people around them, so they naturally have to pay more attention on weekdays, so they can stay by their side in time to send them.

This young soldier who can draw flatbread for the people, she took it!

Sure enough, when the soldier said this, everyone was instantly moved.

It is said that the people take food as the sky, and in the past, within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Court, they could not eat enough and warm every day, and they had to be squeezed by the local government, but now the people of Beiyan will give them money as soon as they come, and they will also say that they will take them to make money and strive for a fat year next year.

Who wouldn't be tempted by this!

The people changed the money but were still reluctant to leave, looking at Jiang Jiuniang and Peng Yuan as if they were looking at the living Bodhisattvas who were saving the suffering, and they didn't know who took the lead, so they knelt down for them directly, kowtowed, and shouted loudly: "Thank you, madam, we are willing to be Beiyan people, ask Mrs. for protection!" ”

"Willing to be a Beiyan person!"

"Willing to be a Beiyan person!"

……

The slogans of the crowd shouted loudly, and many people wept excitedly, they didn't care who was the emperor or what country they would be, as long as they could have food to eat and a good life, they were naturally willing to follow.

What's more, when the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Court evacuated, they didn't think of taking them with them, they were abandoned, so it is not treason now.

Peng Yuan was shocked by such a battle, and was speechless for a long time, and admired Jiang Jiuniang in her heart.

It's no wonder that Sister Tianjiu is not worried about the wool being out of stock at all, it turns out that she wants to come here to collect it.

What's more, the officers and soldiers of Beiyan have just entered the city, and their foundation is unstable, maybe the people will riot, but Sister Jiu Niang's trick can kill two birds with one stone, which can not only receive wool, solve the urgent needs in the workshop, but also appease the emotions of these people, and see that they see the money and have hope for the future.

As we all know, when King Jing was guarding the border and Huizhou City was seized, he led the people to retreat together, and never gave up any of the people.

Compared with the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Court who will only endlessly ask for and abandon them, it is simply a heaven and an earth, and everyone knows how to choose.

The scene was very shocking, a street outside the yamen was full of kneeling, Jiang Jiuniang did not rush to let them get up, but said: "You don't have to be so polite, you are willing to sell wool to me, I am also very happy, we still need a lot of wool in the future, everyone can raise more sheep if you have the conditions, and you can also make more money." ”

After saying the important things, she personally stepped forward to help an old woman not far away, and said, "Everyone get up quickly, there is still snow on the ground, don't freeze your body." ”

In this way, it has earned enough goodwill and made the people grateful.
