Chapter 284: Natural disaster? Man-made disaster?
Weiwei spread his hand and waved lightly, and a burst of warmth suddenly rose up in the wooden house, completely driving away the cold.
"Everyone, I heard about your situation from Iyeas. I wonder if you know the current situation outside?"
He randomly found a wooden bench and patted it before sitting down. Shen Fu didn't pay attention to the surprised expressions of these villagers and showed a gentle look. Seeing these people reminded him of the farmers in his hometown. Apart from their appearance and language, they seemed to be no different.
"Well, it was a bit strange at first, because the taxes collected every year are getting higher and higher, and the troops sent to eliminate dangerous species are doing less and less. Every time they come to eat and drink, they kill one or two at will and leave. If not, we wouldn’t let young people like Tazmi go out to look for hope.”
The village chief and the rest of the people looked at each other and sighed. The situation in the village had reached a very serious point. People were starving to death. People were being killed by dangerous species while hunting. Food and various supplies were in urgent need. No, in such cold weather, it is very unlikely that some elderly people and children can survive.
"Village Chief! How can those people be called soldiers? They are completely a group of gangsters and bandits. If you hadn't stopped me, I, Iyeas, would have wanted to teach them a lesson."
Speaking of the so-called "Imperial Guards", Iyeas was very angry. It was obvious that he had encountered such a situation more than once or twice.
"Is there such a thing? Where do they come from?"
Shen Fu frowned slightly. Although he had heard Yiyeas mention something before, he originally thought that corruption should be far away from such a remote village.
"Master Shen, there is a small town about twenty kilometers away from here."
Shayou reached out and patted Iyeas on the shoulder, asking him to calm down first, and then explained:
"Originally, the nearby villages spontaneously built a place to trade goods, but a few years ago a noble came over and claimed that the empire had handed over this town to him for management, and those responsible for clearing out dangerous species near the village and protecting this place The security guards in the area also obey his orders...but now it's worse than ever."
The rest of the villagers also smiled bitterly. They have lived in this place for generations and have survived all kinds of natural disasters. But the current situation is a man-made disaster. It is also expected that Tazmi and the other three can succeed. Hopefully they can come back and fix these issues.
Shen Fu pondered for a while. This situation did not appear in the animation, but it is conceivable that a certain little noble spent some money to take care of it and came to enjoy the blessings.
"The fact is not just for you. Sha You, you who have been to the imperial capital should also know that the corruption problem in this country is very serious. This is the case in the imperial capital. The situation should be similar across the country. When we came to this country, we originally came with the hope of The plan to establish trade ties and mutually benefit the two peoples, but now it seems that such an idea is almost impossible to realize."
He turned his head, looked at the faces of these sallow villagers one by one, and then said:
"But after seeing you, we are not willing to leave here. The problems at the top of the country should not be borne by the people, so we decided to provide funding to you."
This is also what I decided after previous exchanges with Sun Zheng. When talking to these simple villagers, you don’t need to say too complicated things, nor do you need to explain the purpose of doing so. You just need to take practical actions to reflect the Huaxia Kingdom’s love for the people. If they pay attention to it and show some divine methods, they will naturally compete with the already decadent empire and gradually sway to their side.
All in all, this is a gradual process, starting here and gradually expanding their influence.
"Really? This...I really appreciate you so much."
As they expected, the village chief and the villagers didn't think too much, and their expressions were a little excited. They had no choice but to grasp this life-saving straw.
"Let our scholars talk to you about the specific methods. We also want to know more about the situation in nearby villages. Since there is no way to establish trade relations with your country, it is the same to trade directly with you. All we need is Some of the specialties here are things that can be easily obtained.”
After Shen Fu said this, he stood up from his seat. The main purpose of his coming here was to show his face, express his attitude, and make these people feel at ease. Now it seems that they no longer have much loyalty to this decadent empire. , anyone who has been bullied by the so-called "Imperial Guard" will become like this.
However, there is also a small trouble there, and it must be solved. How to solve it is the key. He turned to face Yang Zhijun and Sun Zhengyong and said:
"Zhijun, Commissar Sun, I'll leave this to you. I'll go back and bring some supplies later. In addition, the little noble can also make good use of it. It would be best if we could conquer this area in one fell swoop."
It is easy to defeat a small noble in this area, but how to maximize the benefits is the most important. If the other party presses step by step and cuts off the last hope of these villagers, then they should be able to completely conquer and defeat them. Stand firm.
"Don't worry, leave it to us, I will report the progress to you every day."
Yang Zhijun saluted with a military salute. He understood that his burden was actually not light. This was to solidify the foundation of public opinion and prepare for the war. If not done well, the rescue would turn into aggression, and he would appear very passive.
Shen Fu nodded and looked at the villagers one last time.
"I have told them that the first batch of supplies will be shipped later. Sayu, Iyeas, and Tazmi, you cannot relax your training. You may have a chance to get ahead in the future. So everyone, I Leave first."
Holding Beatrice's hand with a gentle expression, he gave the three people some final encouragement before disappearing in front of everyone, once again arousing exclamation.
"This is a god. Only gods can do such a thing. Tazmi, thanks to you this time."
"Yes, we met such a big shot. Our village can be saved."
"Haha, we actually didn't do anything. Don't be stunned. Uncle Yang and the others are still standing."
Tazmi rubbed his head in embarrassment. Although he actually only stayed in the imperial capital for less than half an hour this time, he was so happy to see these familiar faces and felt a little excited in his heart. He was even more grateful to Shen Fu and them. .
