Chapter 853 The cold winter is coming, and the world is suffering
All the villagers at the scene knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted in unison.
Jing Qianying wanted to stop the people from kowtowing, but was stopped by Li Zhang first.
Under Jing Qianying's puzzled gaze, Li Zhang reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is what Brother Qin meant. Giving favors to the people is only one aspect. The more important point is to establish prestige and let the people clearly realize that, They have a princess, and the princess is coming home."
"If you keep showing kindness, the people will only think that you are a good person, but they will not regard you as a royal official."
Hearing this, Jing Qianying suddenly realized that she was not good at political matters. Since this was Qin Feng's intention, she only needed to implement it.
Jing Qianying just sat on the horse and looked at the people kneeling in worship.
Feeling the majesty radiated by Jing Qianying, the people present felt even more awed.
Li Zhang and Jing Qianying did not stop at Black Stone Village for long. They put down their food and continued deep into the wilderness with a large group of people.
During the entire process, the team did not come within five hundred steps of Black Stone Village.
Looking at the convoy going away, the villagers of Black Stone Village woke up from a dream.
"Village...Village Chief, am I dreaming?!"
A muscular man in his thirties, looking at the huge group of people, first wiped the sweat from his palms, and then pinched his thigh hard.
After the excruciating pain, the middle-aged man was overjoyed because it was all true.
Not to mention that the strong man was in disbelief, even the old village chief had encountered this situation for the first time in his life.
The old village chief swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief: "For a village like ours, any army borrowing a road is worse than a natural disaster."
"Back then, during the border war, the troops coming from the direction of the royal capital captured strong men along the way. Many young laborers died on the battlefield."
"You all saw just now that this army deliberately stayed far away from the village. This is the legendary Qiu Wujiao!"
Qiu has no fault...
Even a child knows this sentence, but when this kind of thing actually happens to him, it is a bit unbelievable, because to ordinary people, there is no army in this world that fulfills its duties.
No matter how elite and disciplined the army is, it will still cause some harm to the people to a greater or lesser extent.
But Qin Feng's soldiers really did this!
The villagers looked at each other, and heated discussions broke out for a while.
"This...is this the army of Marquis Qin?!"
"No wonder the soldiers and horses under the command of the Marquis of Qin are invincible in every attack and victorious in every battle. This is how a well-disciplined army should be."
"Strict discipline is only one aspect. It's not like you didn't see how ferocious the deputy general was just now. I would say, strict discipline is only second. The most important reason why this army can make no mistakes is that the chief general can suppress live."
"That's right! What a hero is the Marquis of Qin?!"
"Not only the Marquis of Qin, but also the prince just now is by no means an ordinary person."
At this moment, a child asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, village chief, I am hungry. Can I eat this food?"
Only then did the village chief come back to his senses. He took a deep breath, turned to look at the hungry villagers, raised his hands, and said excitedly: "These grains are given to us by the Marquis and Princess of Qin for us to survive the winter. In this case, of course, If you can eat it, everyone should share the food, everyone has a share."
As soon as these words came out, the small village once again burst into warm cheers.
"Long live the Marquis of Qin."
"Long live the princess."
People can have so many political stances, and their standard for judging good and evil is the simplest: whoever treats them well is a good person, and whoever does the opposite is a bad person.
The convoy that had gone far continued towards the next village.
Li Zhang, who was at the head of the team, sighed softly: "Although Sangzhou and our northern border are bordered, life is more difficult."
"After all, when winter comes, the weather is freezing. Whether you can survive the winter depends on whether you can accumulate food in the spring and autumn. After this war, the people of Sangzhou have almost all their winter food reserves drained by the military."
"It makes this winter even more difficult."
Although Jing Qianying has never lived a hard life, she empathizes with the people's difficult lives.
Her eyes suddenly became determined: "The moment I return to the royal family, I will start to restore people's livelihood!"
Speaking of this, her tone softened again: "I don't know what's going on with Feng'er."
When Qin Feng was mentioned, Li Zhang laughed, his eyes full of pride: "Your Highness, don't worry, people like Brother Qin are always at home wherever they go."
"In Brother Qin's words, he is the only one who bullies others, how can others bully him?"
"According to the time, the Marquis of Qin should have made almost all arrangements. It won't be long before someone will be sent to take His Highness to the royal capital."
Of course Jing Qianying knew that Li Zhang's words were to comfort herself.
However, she still has full confidence in Qin Feng.
If even Qin Feng can't clear the obstacles, then probably no one in the world can send her back to the royal family.
While talking, another village gradually came into view.
Far away, the large group of people stopped. As before, Li Zhang and Jing Qianying personally brought food and went to express condolences and comfort.
…
Winter has entered Beidi, and there are no birds singing and flowers blooming in Daliang. Although it has not snowed yet in the north, it is already quite difficult. Although the Central Plains area has not yet put on heavy winter clothes, it has put on layers of autumn clothes.
The wealthy people still have extra autumn clothes to wear, but the poor people don't even have a decent autumn clothes, so they can only wear summer clothes and stuff straw into their clothes when they are really too cold.
Who would be willing to use such "ingenuity" if they were not forced to do anything?
All people in the world are the same.
The people of Liang State, even if they are good, are not much better than the people of Beidi.
Moreover, the people of the Central Plains, who should have been the most relaxed, have had the worst life this winter. The north is close to the royal capital, and the land is fertile. They really can't survive, and the court has to take care of them.
Winter in the south is almost useless.
People in the north are freezing to death, but people in the south are still wearing summer clothes and feeling carefree.
In addition, the God Party suppressed the wrong treasure, which not only offended the Qin family, but also lost the trust of Emperor Liang. It was already too busy to take care of itself. Naturally, the local people also became the stepmothers of "Uncle does not care, Uncle does not love".
While there is still some time left before the severe winter, people in the Central Plains flock to the streets and wilderness to collect firewood or find ways to get food to prepare for the coming severe winter.
At this moment, a motorcade entered the imperialist territory along the official road.
