Wu Nian, Liu Zhixing, and Zhang Haiping returned to Jiang County, leaving the county magistrate to deal with the aftermath.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, there are fewer people on the streets. However, Jiang County is the commercial center of Yingqing Prefecture and is very prosperous.
No matter how few people there are on the street, they are still quite impressive.
There are bulletin boards set up by the government throughout the city.
"Dong dong dong!!!!" Teams of government officials beat gongs and drums and left the government office. They came to the bulletin board and posted notices.
Wu Nian's prestige is high. This announcement also attracted the attention of the people. Soon, a large number of people gathered in front of the bulletin board to watch.
But most people are illiterate and read in a fog.
"Mr. Li, please help us see what is written here." An old man said politely to Li Ding, who was wearing a long gown next to him.
Li Ding was not a scholar, he was just a bookkeeper. He has no knowledge, but there is no problem in being able to read and write. Of course he understood the announcement and was shocked.
It wasn't until the old man urged him again and again that Li Ding lost his mind and said, "The announcement says that a severe drought this year is probably inevitable."
"Water is limited. Today, Lijia Village and Bianshan Village outside the city have suffered numerous deaths and injuries just because of the competition for water."
"In order to prevent something like this from happening again, the general sent officials to control water sources and prioritize the preservation of energy-saving fields."
"The general told us not to worry, he won't starve anyone to death."
"In addition, after a severe drought, there will be a locust plague. The general asked us people not to slaughter chickens and ducks because of the drought and lack of food."
"And if people are really hungry, they can also eat locusts. As long as they are roasted, don't eat too much. This stuff can also aphrodisiac. But eating too much will cause diarrhea."
As soon as Li Ding finished speaking, the place fell silent. All the people were stunned.
Some of them are city dwellers and some are outsiders. People in the city have no fields, but people outside the city have fields. But whether you are a city dweller or an outsider.
After listening to Li Ding's words, his first thoughts were all whimsical.
These fields are all treasures. Farmers hope that their fields will have a bumper harvest this year and a good life next year.
How could they give up their fields? Watching others occupy the water source, what if there is water for irrigation?
After a severe drought, there will be locusts. Some old people know this. Young people don't understand, but they will know if they ask.
This is indeed the law of heaven and earth.
There is nothing to question.
It is true that chickens and ducks can eat locusts. But the locusts are flying in countless numbers. Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture have a population of one to two million.
Even if every household raises chickens and ducks, it seems that it is still a drop in the bucket for locusts.
As for people eating locusts, that is really a fantasy. Is that thing edible?
question.
Even with Wu Nian's unparalleled prestige, he was immediately questioned by the people. But soon, the people became suspicious.
Again, Wu Nian's prestige is enough.
leader.
That’s why it’s called a leader. He has great prestige, he doesn't make jokes on weekdays, and he is unambiguous when dealing with important matters. Prestige accumulated over time.
Let the people believe in Wu Nian.
Looking back at the year when the Mongols first invaded, all 32 counties in the five prefectures of Liaodong fell. Who can believe that Wu Nian can recover the two mansions by himself?
Who can believe that there were three hundred elite soldiers in the year of Wu?
Now each school captain is on one side, with more than 100,000 elite soldiers?
The prestige Wu Nian accumulated in his daily life was like a piece of steel that had been tempered over time. Tough and powerful.
"If things are allowed to continue to develop. I, Yingqing Mansion, Guangchuan Mansion, no. I am afraid that the entire Liaodong will lose everything."
"But according to the general's method, we can preserve part of the acres and produce a certain amount of food. In addition, the general purchased a lot of food from overseas some time ago. The general will definitely not starve us to death."
"That's right. And it's hard to say what officials are like in other places. But the officials of General Fu Han are very honest. They won't do any fraud. They will definitely protect the land they can. I trust the general."
"It is the law of heaven and earth that chickens and ducks eat locusts. In this case, why don't we raise more? If the locusts eat up everything, we will become refugees. If we stay in one place, we can only wait to die. ah."
"Yes. And this locust. I believe whatever the general says. It can also aphrodisiac!!! When I have time, I will go outside the city to catch some locusts to eat, and I will be invulnerable."
Whether in modern times or in ancient times, male compatriots are obsessed with aphrodisiacs. Many men who looked at the bulletin board had their eyes shining.
As long as it can aphrodisiac, no matter how unpalatable it is, they dare to try it.
In this weather, locusts have already appeared outside the city, and there are quite a lot of them.
In addition to issuing notices in the city, Wu Nian also sent government officials to go to rural and mountain villages to do propaganda. Cast a wide net to unite the military and civilians.
We will overcome the difficulties together.
Wu Nian did not only distribute news but did not receive news. He received the information bit by bit to see if there was a big rebound.
In case the plan is not implemented, you will collapse.
The result is a happy one.
Ten days later.
In the hall of General Fuhan's mansion. Wu Nian sat drinking tea with Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping. Wu Nian laughed loudly and said, "People believe me."
"The general's prestige is unparalleled, which is rare in ancient times." Liu Zhixing cupped his fists and saluted Wu Nian, and said sincerely without any falsehood.
real.
The only one who could do such a thing was Wu Nian. What Wu Nian said is more effective than the Buddha and the gods in the temple.
The people believe in Wu Nian.
And such Wu Nian, such a world-famous Wu Nian. He was born to be a king, waiting for Wu Nian to conquer the five prefectures and thirty-two counties of Liaodong.
Even if he doesn't claim the throne, the people will probably push Wu Nian to take the throne.
This means that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.
Zhang Haiping also nodded beside him and looked at Wu Nian with extremely respectful eyes.
"It's rare in the past. Let's forget it. I don't want to be famous, I just want to be real." Wu Nian smiled and waved to Liu Zhixing, then stood up with his hands on the armrests of the Taishi chair, and said to Liu Zhixing: "Zhixing. Send the order." Immediately send people to control the water source and implement the plan according to the plan. First, protect the fertile farmland that can be maintained. Whoever dares to do bad things will be severely punished."
At the end of the sentence, Wu Nian became murderous.
Be polite before fighting.
He first put the matter out in the open and set the rules. If anyone dares to break the rules again, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"yes."
Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping looked solemn, stood up and cupped their hands together. Then, the two of them walked down quickly. Wu Nian smiled and picked up the tea cup and drank a few sips of tea.
"I come from the wind and go from the fire. It's not that easy to knock me down."
“If you take big steps, there is always a way out.”
Goguryeo and Chu began to restrict grain exports, and the Mongolian and Yuan people contacted Fusang pirates to cut off Wu Nian's maritime trade.
Wu Nian can only strive for self-improvement, and it is better to seek help from others than from yourself.
