I'm playing tricks in Daqin

"Don't worry, even if I die, the bet will be fulfilled."

"Who cares about the bet, I'm afraid you will die!"

"Why are you afraid of my death?"

Zhulan Yaer, who was flustered by Li Wei, didn't know how to answer, so she simply turned her head aside and ignored it. When she turned her head back, Li Wei had already led the guards downstairs.

"You guys also go downstairs, get ready, if Shang Di is in danger, rescue him immediately."

"What does the life and death of Qin people have to do with us?"

A guard was puzzled.

"Idiot, Shang Di is a very smart Qin native. If our Mende Department wants to grow, we need a wise man like him. Go!"

Zhulan Yaer urged.

"The heart of a single husband is becoming more and more arrogant, and he does not appreciate the power of the people..."

Wenwenfu, who was taking the lead in shouting slogans, suddenly saw Li Wei blocking the street, and was so frightened that he took a sharp breath of air and almost passed out.

The elder brother who took the lead suddenly stopped, and the scholars in the team were talking a lot, and everyone's eyes fell on Li Wei.

"The emperor..."

"You are all scholars. Today, I will also talk to you as a scholar."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Wen Wenfu wisely chose to shut up, the scene was too chaotic, if he disclosed Li Wei's identity, and put the emperor in danger, he would be the one to take the blame for treason.

Wen Wenfu, who was determined not to take the blame, answered immediately, "Since you are also a scholar, why stop me from waiting?"

"This time the Jin Guo Mission is aggressive, you are so timid, are you going to send a woman to beg for peace?"

The palace gate knocked, and Li Wei appeared too suddenly, causing Wenwenfu to be confused, and he didn't have time to say a lot. Today, Li Wei was sent to the front of his life, Wenwenfu must not let him off lightly.

"My Great Qin fought repeatedly, the soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties, and the people were unbearable. If Jin Guo insisted on invading our land, he would naturally resist desperately. But now that the two countries can coexist peacefully, why do they have to provoke war?"

Wenwenfu knew Li Wei's true identity, and he was restrained in speaking, but the others were not so polite. As soon as the words fell, an old man with long beard stood up immediately.

"Yu Tang sinned against himself, and his prosperity was against him. Jie Zhou sinned, and his death was sudden. Today's emperor is very happy with his achievements. He only pursues martial arts for a while, but does not care about the power of the people. We are all scholars, and we should take the rise and fall of the world as our own responsibility!"

"That's right, there are endless conquests, and the collapse of the country is just around the corner. How can you sit idly by? If you are really a scholar and have a sense of shame, join us and persuade the emperor to return from the wrong way, and return to the world. The common people are at peace!"

A few people sang together, and the people who listened nodded repeatedly. If the Jin people bully us, they must beat them, but now the Jin people are nesting at home and herding sheep. Isn’t it good for each to live his own life?Why do you have to make trouble?

Seeing the one-sided public opinion, Li Wei couldn't help but smile wryly. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was beating up the Xiongnu, an old enemy, and he was scolded endlessly. He didn't have the prestige of Han Wu, so naturally not many people supported him.

Wenwenfu naturally understood the principle of pursuing the victory, and with a wink, a man in armor stepped out of the crowd.

"Everyone, I am serving as a school lieutenant in the army. I am a person in command of the army. I know the hardships in the army. In the cold winter..."

Following the captain's narration, the smiles on the faces of the people watching the fun slowly disappeared.

The military has never been a place for pleasure, and it means suffering. During the war, the environment was even worse.

The school lieutenant, who was selected by the southern gentry, is also a dramatist. He narrates the miserable life in the army with eloquence, and even cries a few times when he is emotional.

Chang'an is the main source of troops for the Imperial Forest Army. Many men from Chang'an joined the army. It was the first time they heard about the great victories, the fun in the army, and the suffering in the army.

Thinking of my son climbing the ice and lying in the snow, thinking of my husband using vinegar steps as salt, thinking of my elder brother being killed by disease, the crowd gradually began to sob.

When the captain began to talk about the tragic battlefield, the military martyrs even thought of the man who died in battle, and cried out in pain.

"Listen, listen to the voice of the people! Now, don't you wake up?"

Literature just asked.

"Wake up to what?"

"The emperor has no relatives, but virtue is the auxiliary; the hearts of the people are impermanent, but the bosom of benefits."

Wenwenfu didn't say it clearly, but Li Wei understood the meaning of the threat. If he didn't treat the people well, he would be in danger of losing the throne.

"Do you think that by organizing some scholars, you can stir up the situation?"

"Hehe, His Majesty can dispose of it as he pleases."

Wenwenfu said proudly.

These scholars are nothing, but the family behind them, the emperor cannot be afraid. It is easy to imprison the scholars who have no combat effectiveness, but the southern half of the Great Qin Dynasty will fall into turmoil.

Seeing that the people on the street would lose control at any time, Zhulan Yaer hammered the fence angrily, and said angrily: "This Shangdi, is he a wise man or a fool, if he doesn't run away, he will be beaten to death!"

Looking over the people, Li Wei questioned, "Are you a lieutenant colonel?"

This time Li Wei used his internal strength to let the nearby people hear his words without using a metal horn.

"Yes!"

"Then let me ask you, how many days will it take for eight hundred soldiers to march three hundred miles, and how much food and grass will they need to carry?"

"This... the Sima of the own army is in charge, what does it have to do with me?"

Nodding his head, Li Wei continued to ask, "How many soldiers do you have under your command?"

"More than 500."

"Be specific."

"Five hundred... five hundred, 520 people."

"How many people are there in the army, how many people are there, how many people are there, and how many people are in the team?"

"How do I know that?"

"As a captain, don't you know?"

The onlookers looked at him and realized that something was wrong. It was okay for the soldiers under his command to be vague, but they didn't even know the number of officers under his command. It was incredible.

The captain also felt bad, and subconsciously looked at Wenwenfu.

"Ask you questions, watch what other people do, name soldiers you know, and let me hear."

"Gao Wenjun, Xiao Shujin..."

As soon as the captain hesitated and said eight names, the common people began to scold them.

The literacy rate is not high these days, and ordinary people don't have any serious names. Zhang Tiedan and Li Gousheng are the mainstream.

Pointing at the bewildered captain, Li Wei said in a loud voice: "Take a good look at his armor. The luster is as new, the skin is white and tender, and there is still a long sword in his waist. Have you seen this kind of captain?"

The people of Chang'an have seen big scenes. Every time there is a big victory, troops will enter the city to offer prisoners. People who have been on the battlefield are definitely not his virtue.

Knowing that they have been deceived, the people's attitudes changed immediately, no matter whether what the captain said was true or not, anyway, no one believed him anymore.

Even the scholars in the parade started to discuss that the captain had never been on the battlefield, so they were also deceived?Wenwenfu didn't expect that Li Wei would open a breakthrough here, and hurriedly shouted: "Poor Wuding Riverside, he is still a man in a boudoir's dream. He fought repeatedly and killed many people. Do you want to continue to die?"

In the Great War of the Century, the Qin State suffered too much loss, too many officers and soldiers were killed or injured. After a great war, peace was finally brought about. Now there is another war, and the people are talking again.

"You want to scare the people with death?"

"Hehe, fear is the most direct and effective way to control these untouchables."

Wenwenfu said with a look of disdain.

If it weren't for the fear of reincarnation as an animal, and the fear of going to hell to suffer, how could so many people accumulate virtue and do good deeds, burn incense and worship Buddha, and they haven't read literature in vain these years, at least they understand human nature clearly.

"A person like you, living in a deep house, good at women's hands, ignorant of the sufferings of the people, no matter how many books you read, you are just a pig with a human head on your head."

Wen Wenfu was not angry when Li Wei pointed at his nose and scolded him bitterly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is angry, is it because of fear?"

"You will scare me? Put your dog ears up and listen carefully. Listen carefully. What do the people really want?"

With a cold snort, Wenwenfu was too lazy to argue, made a "please" gesture, and started to watch the excitement with his shoulders crossed.

After coughing twice, Li Wei asked loudly, "Do you want to eat meat?"

No one answered among the surrounding people, but many swallowed their saliva very honestly.

"Who doesn't want to eat meat? There's no money."

As soon as the voice fell, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Do you want to eat beef?"

"Don't make trouble, it's against the law to eat beef."

The strong man shook his head hastily.

"Just say, do you want three renminbi a catty of mutton, five renminbi a catty of beef, do you want it?"

Chapter 568 In the North

"So cheap? No fool would want it."

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Wei shouted loudly: "Every day, you can eat beef and mutton as you like, and you can't finish the cheese. There are cattle in the fields, and you go out to ride horses. Days, do you want to live?"

This time, the onlookers were stunned. In this era when there is no guarantee of food and clothing, it is an ideal to be able to eat enough, and a dream to be able to eat meat. The life Li Wei painted is something they dare not even imagine.

Wearing leather clothes and riding a big horse are only available to rich and powerful families, how can I have them?Pointing to the north, Li Wei continued to shout: "There are vast grasslands in the north, and there are cattle and sheep everywhere. Whatever you want is in the north! Do you want it?"

"miss you!"

The strong man took the lead in shouting, and the surrounding people all shouted.

"The gold man refuses to give it, what should I do?"

"Hit! Hit until they give it!"

Chen Yuzhou was also a smart person, and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Good days are in the north! North!"

The guards behind him echoed, and soon, the common people also shouted.

Wen Wenfu, who saw this scene with his own eyes, was completely stunned. He couldn't imagine why the situation under his control had changed so drastically.

"As I said before, a scholar like you, who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish grains, doesn't know what the people want. They are afraid of death, but they are even more afraid of poverty."

Even if he is not a historian, Li Wei from later generations also knows that the reason why some countries expanded wildly in history is that the dividends of war are too great.

No good, the people hate war, but once the war dividends are distributed to the people, the people will become more fanatical about war than soldiers and politicians.

The people in this land have had a strong sense of family since ancient times. If they could exchange their lives for a better life for the whole family, most of them would choose to die.

"Your Majesty, so what if the people in Chang'an support it? So what if all the people in the north support it? In the south, no one will support it!"

The southern gentry group only wanted to gain wealth and power, and did not want to start a civil war directly. This operation in Chang'an was just a show of muscle.

If Li Wei is intimidated and willing to negotiate, everyone can talk slowly. If Li Wei is stubborn, they will do anything for the survival of the family.

"If someone supports you, you are my staunch supporter."

"Even if His Majesty punishes the Nine Clans of the Caomin, the Caomin will not support His Majesty's foreign war!"

The Wen family is also a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise Wen Wenfu would never have been able to cultivate a great Confucianist, and he was also a direct victim of increased taxes. Moreover, the financial resources of his disciples' families were damaged, and Wen Wenfu's disciples' offerings to him every year were also decreasing.

Cutting off one's fortune is like killing one's parents, Wen Wenfu would not support Li Wei at all.

"come here."

"What do you want to do?"

Wenwen Fu asked with a look of wariness.

Li Wei's rogue, he has learned a long time ago, such a thing as lying to himself and giving a slap in the face, Wei rogue can definitely do it.

"Here's something nice for you."

"Hehe, Your Majesty underestimates me too much. Although I am a commoner, I have a backbone, and I will not bend my waist for five buckets of rice!"

No matter how high the official position is, his family is still in the south of the Yangtze River. If he becomes a traitor to the southern gentry group, the family will definitely suffer. Wen Wenfu naturally dare not compromise.

Li Wei could only take the initiative to come over because he really couldn't come after reading the literature.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I am so old..."

"Your generation of Confucianists know everything, you usually play openly, don't you?"

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

After waving his hand, Li Wei didn't bother to argue with Wenwenfu, so he stuck to his ear and whispered a word.

This sentence was like a curse, which made Wenwenfu stunned, while Li Wei returned to the teahouse with a confident face.

When walking back to the private room, Zhulan Yaer was grinding her teeth, looking as if she was going to eat Li Wei raw.

"You bastard, you are good at mobilizing the enthusiasm of the people, do you think I, Da Jin, will be afraid?"
