Ten days later, Tang Tingbai had already come to Lingling County in Jiangnan Prefecture!

This is right next to the front line.

Since Gyeyang-gun and Ganghwa-gun in Gangnam Province were defeated by the Ryukyus, the 50,000-strong Ryukyus army spared no effort to attack Lingling County.

But under the control of Jiangnan prefect Hua Sheng and Jiangnan general soldier Kong Rong in person, they held on for a full ten days.

And in the past ten days, along the way, Tang Tingbai has also seen a lot of things that impressed him.

The prefectures of Kyoto look pretty good, and at least the people are not rich in clothing and food, but at least they are well fed.

But when Tang Tingbai arrived in Shannan Mansion, it became different.

Most of the clothes on the people of Shannan Mansion are patches, and even some poor people's homes share a pair of pants with a family, and whoever goes out wears it!

This gave Tang Tingbai a deep shock.

Because he has reduced Dayan's taxes to a minimum, and even many places have begun to be exempt from taxes.

But even so, the people are still living so hard.

Even, Tang Tingbai even went to a farmer's house.

Ate a meal at a farmer's house.

That meal was a bun with wild vegetables.

Wild vegetables are chopped and filled, and the skin of the buns is bran.

There may be people who don't know what bran is.

The bran is for the animals to eat, and it is difficult to swallow.

Even if you eat it, it's hard to get rid of it.

That meal, Tang Tingbai can remember for a lifetime.

Even if he was a soldier king in his previous life, survival in the wild was commonplace, what had he never eaten?

But bran is really the first time.

Moreover, Tang Tingbai only took a bite and couldn't eat it anymore.

And what Tang Tingbai couldn't eat, it was the daily ration of the people.

Tang Tingbai ordered the household department to mobilize one billion catties of grain and transport it to Shannan Mansion and sell it to the people at a price lower than the market price.

Originally, Tang Tingbai planned to give it away for free, but everyone dissuaded him, not wanting the people to develop the character of getting something for nothing.

But even so, the people still thanked Tang Tingbai and shouted long live.

At this moment, Tang Tingbai was wearing a green shirt and walking on the streets of Lingling County with his hands behind his back, and only Jia Luo was by his side.

"Childe, Lingling County is mixed, let's be careful, in case you encounter any danger again, it may be difficult to protect you with the strength of your subordinates." Garo looked around warily.

Tang Tingbai smiled, and scratched Jia Luo's cute little nose dotingly: "Silly girl, look at the people around, who looks like a bad person?" It's just a bunch of simple people. ”

Saying that, Tang Tingbai stopped an old man who was in a hurry with a smile on his face: "Old man, do you always look at me like a bad person?" ”

What?

The old man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Tingbai vigilantly: "Your baby is sick, right?" Can a bad guy write the word bad guy on his face? Besides, I'm illiterate, silly doll! ”

After speaking, the old man looked at Tang Tingbai as if he was looking at Shabi, and hurriedly walked around Tang Tingbai and continued to walk forward.

Tang listened to Bai and smiled, but he was not angry.

He sniffled, and suddenly smelled a smell that was familiar from his previous life.

He hurried towards a grocery store not far away.

Yes, it's offal.

"Childe, you are a golden body, even if you want to eat it, you have to eat beef, and if you eat offal, it will be good to say." Garo reminded again.

Tang Tingbai laughed again, and directly took Jia Luo's little hand and walked into the grocery store.

Tang Tingbai found a seat by the window and sat down.

The business of the small shop is quite hot.

Tang Tingbai ordered two bowls of beef offal soup, six baked cakes and a plate of red oil beef offal.

Sure enough, even in parallel worlds, food can't be stopped.

Soon, the dishes were ready, and Tang Tingbai began to feast.

But at this moment, two middle-aged servants walked in from the grocery store, holding a wooden box in their arms.

"Fellow villagers and elders of Lingling County, I am the head catcher of the Yamen of Lingling County."

"The prefect has ordered that the entire Gangnam Province should be used to fight against the Ryukyus vassal states that were killed that day, so I hope that everyone will have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution."

"If anyone wants to join the army, the chief soldier has set up a recruitment point at the gate of the city, you can go and sign up."

Hearing this, the diners in the small shop took out the silver from their bosoms.

"The prefect is not thin on us, now that he has encountered difficulties, we must not be stingy, I will donate ten taels of silver, although it is not much, but it can be regarded as a meager effort."

"There's no problem, the prefect is conscientious and conscientious for our Jiangnan Mansion, it has always been the prefect who has paid for our group of ordinary people, and now it's our turn to pay for him, don't be stingy, it's all about doing business, it's not bad for this money, let's donate one or two more silver, and the soldiers on the front line can eat several more meals of meat, and they will have more strength to kill the enemy."

"Yes, yes, I donate fifty taels, although this is a month's income for our grocery store, it is worth it!"

“……”

The surrounding diners were talking, and their eyes were full of excitement.

I didn't feel any distress from donating the money.

Jia Luo was a little curious: "Childe, even if the people of Jiangnan Mansion are rich, they can't be so indifferent to money, right? ”

Tang Tingbai smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't understand either.

After the two officials left, Tang Tingbai smiled and beckoned the shopkeeper over.

"Xiao Er, just now the officials came to collect donations, why didn't these diners hesitate, when did the merchants of Jiangnan Mansion become so rich?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled: "Hehe, this son, you must be a foreigner, right?" Don't you know, our prefect loves the people like a son, and has done a lot of good things for the people of Jiangnan Mansion, so we will generally obey the orders of the prefect, and at the same time, these businessmen's donations are not in vain, and when the end of the year, the government will exempt them from a lot of taxes, which is equivalent to the amount of silver they donate. ”

I see.

Tang Tingbai nodded, but he didn't expect this Hua Sheng to have some business acumen.

Soon, Tang Tingbai and Jia Luo finished eating and went straight to the Lingling County Guard's Mansion!

And at this moment, the gate of the Lingling County Guard Mansion is full of people.

The officials of Jiangnan Mansion had long heard that the emperor had entered the city.

The Jinyi Guard and the people of the Temple Army have arrived, but there is no trace of the emperor for a long time.

Hua Sheng stood at the gate and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It is estimated that the emperor has a private visit, let's wait here." ”

Kong Rong, the chief soldier of Jiangnan, was a little worried: "Lord Hua, do you say that the emperor already knows about the bad things of General Ben?" ”

Hua Sheng shook her head and stopped talking.

Although he and Kong Rong are both from West Lake, Hua Sheng is a reader, and he is a reader with a bottom line.

He looked down on Kong Rong from the bottom of his heart.

Although Kong Rong made outstanding achievements in the war and also made great contributions to Dayan, he did more evil things.

And at this moment, the Jinyi guards standing at the door did not speak.

This time, Jinyiwei led the team by Shen Quan, the great Taibao of Jinyiwei.

followed by the eighth master, the twelfth master and the thirteenth master of Jinyiwei.

That is, Qiu Ba, Li Xin and Bian Que.

These four people were personally named by Tang Tingbai.

Shen Quan naturally doesn't need to say much, being thoughtful is a material for doing great things.

Qiu Ba's words were that Qiu Ba designed to murder the black robe a few days ago, and Tang Tingbai was impressed by this eighth master of the brocade guard.

As for Li Xin and Bian Que, there is no need to say more.

Both are produced by kings.

One is strong in martial arts, and the other is a master of using drugs, so he must take it.

"Big brother, where did you say the emperor went?" Qiu Ba touched his goatee with some curiosity.

"How do I know, but it is estimated that the emperor should go to investigate the Jiangnan prefect Hua Sheng and the Jiangnan chief soldier Kong Rong." Shen Da said lightly.

This......

Qiu Ba didn't speak, he knew that there was no need to investigate at all.

Jin Yiwei had already mastered the specific information of the two of them.

At this moment, two people walked not far away.

One man and one woman.

It's rare to be handsome, and the woman is beautiful.

The Jinyi Guard and the Temple Army knelt down on one knee in unison: "My subordinates meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!" ”

Emperor?

Jiangnan officials Qi Qiqi's face changed.

Hua Sheng and Kong Rong hurriedly knelt on their knees.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of officials in Jiangnan knelt on their knees together, and their voices were neat: "The ministers meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!" ”

Tang Tingbai walked to everyone's side, he was wearing a green shirt, and he looked amiable.

But the officials in Jiangnan didn't dare to be careless, because they knew in their hearts that Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, was like a murderer.

"Let's all be flat." Tang Tingbai was full of smiles, and he walked towards Kong Rong, the chief soldier of Jiangnan: "Master Kong, I want to know, how is the battle situation in Jiangnan Mansion now?" ”
