[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Jia Daihua took a sharp look at Mr. Quan Ge, and found that he was acting like a normal person, so he couldn't help smiling: "Mr. Ge, do you know how old Dai Hua is?"

Quan Ge's old body was shocked, he fixed a glance at Jia Daihua, told him to do his own thing, and got into the carriage.Looking at the carriage going far away, Jia Daihua shook his head. He was not afraid that Mr. Quan Ge would make irresponsible remarks to the emperor when he returned to Beijing. Mr. Quan Ge looked like a smart man, and a smart man should know what kind of choice to make. .

Not long after, news came from Yulin, saying that after Quan Ge's trip to the border of Yulin, he was suddenly caught in the wind and cold to the point of unconsciousness.

This has nothing to do with Jia Daihua, what he is worried about now is the thousand orphan soldiers sent to the Northwest Army with Guizi. ?There are now no less than [-] orphans adopted in various villages, and they can use this name to send them to the Northwest Army to expand their strength.

And the good news came from Yizi. Their food convoy has passed Yulin and will arrive in Liangzhou in a few days.This time, a full [-] shi of grain was shipped over.When he went to three states, one state can be divided into [-] shi, which is enough for the people to survive the famine.As for how to sell it to the common people, Jia Daihua doesn't have to worry about it - before he knew it, several grocery stores named Xibei had opened in the city of Sanzhou, selling groceries and grain from the north and the south.

Guizi has quietly started doing business with the Xiqiang people now. Yizi not only brought food, but also a large amount of porcelain and tea this time. Presumably, he will be able to exchange a large amount of cattle and sheep from the Xiqiang people in the near future. Let the people in the Northwest make up for the bodies hollowed out by the spring famine.

Jia Daihua counted the days and found that the food transported by Yizi was about to arrive in Liangzhou, so he ordered someone to send a letter to Meng Bai, who was leading the team to dig the trench, ordering him to pay attention to welcome him, lest Sun Meng, who was bold and dark-hearted, look for Yizi. Trouble.

As he expected, Yizi's grain transport convoy had been detained by Sun Meng's deputy general as soon as it arrived at the Liangzhou military defense area. Chunhuang's letters were not released either.

Sun Meng's request for the word B is very simple, that is, to sell all [-] shi of grain directly to the Liangzhou army at the purchase price in the south of the Yangtze River.

Meng Bai was overjoyed when he received the rescue letter in letter B. Either Sun Meng didn’t remember to eat or fight, or he thought that other people’s money came from the strong wind. So much grain was sold at the purchase price, and the food and expenses along the way were all spent. Don't spend money?

At that time, Meng Bai went to the northwest camp to deliver a letter to Jia Daihua, and at the same time he took his own bodyguards to rush to the Liangzhou army, and saw Yi Yi who was spinning a mill outside the camp gate.Although the two had never met, B's attire revealed that he was not from the Northwest. Meng Bai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "But you are an old customer who supplies Xibei Grocery Store?"

As soon as Yi heard the words, he raised his head and asked tentatively, "Master Jun?"

"I'm Meng Bai, the commander of the Fourth Battalion in the Northwest Battalion. Come, follow me to see General Sun." He ignored the guards of the Liangzhou Army and walked inside with Yi Yi.Seeing Meng Bai dressed up as a general, the guards looked arrogant again, and they didn't dare to ask, so they let him into the camp.

This made Meng Bai shake his head: "For such guards, two sticks are discounted in the Northwest Army."

Yiyi smiled when he heard this: "My master governs the army so strictly that even the military camps in the whole country can't compare to it."

Hearing this, Meng Bai was like a confidant, and he vomited bitterness to Yiyi, which seemed to have a different opinion on Jia Daihua.But his tone clearly showed off, as if he was still enjoying being punished by Jia Daihua.

"Commander Meng?" A general of the Liangzhou Army on the opposite side glanced at Meng Bai, recognized his identity, and asked, "When did Commander Meng arrive at the Pa Camp of the Liangzhou Army? Let's greet you." It's unreasonable to come in and out without saying hello, right?

Meng Bai didn't care and said: "I thought your guards would inform you, but he didn't even ask me when I came in. I thought the Liangzhou military camp was so afraid of trouble, so they had to be as hospitable as they wanted. Just right, I have something to do Please see General Sun, and please show me the way."

If you have the nerve to say this, the generals of the Liangzhou Army are embarrassed to listen, and with purple faces, they brought Meng Bai and Yiyi outside the tent of the Chinese Army: "Quickly report to the general, Commander Meng of the Northwest Camp is here to pay homage." Speaking to the soldiers guarding the tent, he deliberately stood in front of Meng Bai, as if he was afraid that he would force his way in.

When Sun Meng heard the news, he went out of his tent to greet him. He was also a little surprised to see Meng Bai and Yiyi together.After listening to Meng Bai's intention after entering the account, Sun Meng asked meaningfully, "Is this Xibei grocery store and Uncle Ning Yuan?"

Meng Bai got Jia Daihua's order, and he didn't hide it: "This is a few shops specially opened by our general to relieve the danger of the people in the northwest. Don't you also have shops in Liangzhou? If General Sun is not at ease, you can let people know." Go check it out. If there are any incidents of shoddy goods, price gouging, or hoarding in this Xibei grocery store, tell me directly, and I will cut down the shopkeeper for the general.”

Sun Meng's expression turned a little ugly.The batch of grain that Yiyi brought was too much, so much that he couldn't be tempted, so he made other calculations.Now Meng Bai stood up and confessed on behalf of Jia Daihua without avoiding suspicion, and if he did anything else, he would confront Jia Daihua.

But I still have the handle in Jia Daihua's hands.

"Commander Meng also knows that this year's spring famine in the three northwestern states is sad..." Sun Meng still wanted to fight for it.Meng Bai had already taken the words: "It's not that the spring famine is sad, and the Xibei Grocery Store will not ask someone to buy grain from the south of the Yangtze River at this time. It's also because the old customer didn't make it clear to General Sun. Our general said that [-] shi is to be released." Those sold in shops in Liangzhou can always solve the difficulties of the people in Liangzhou."

Sun Meng really wanted to say what the life and death of the people in Liangzhou had to do with him as a guard. With the lessons learned from Qiao Nan, he couldn't say it anyway.He apologized to Yiyi, saying that he was also thinking of the people of Liangzhou.

Yi has traveled all over the world for so many years, he can listen and speak in the face of the situation, and he also took out a hundred stones of grain to work for the army, in order to thank Sun Meng for keeping the grain for him.This grain was what Jia Daihua wanted from the grocery store, how could Sun Meng dare to take it?Meng Bai kept smiling and staring at Yiyi and Sun Meng as they came and went, and he refused to be a middleman and say something nice to let Sun Meng collect the food.

How hundreds of carts of food were pulled into the barracks and how they were pulled out made Sun Meng suffocate evil fire in his heart, so he submitted a memorial that night, participating in Jia Daihua's struggle with the people for profit, and allowing his subordinates to intimidate the friendly army.

As soon as the excerpt was published, there was a great commotion. Emperor Zhu approved the memorial and went to camp in the northwest.

After receiving Zhu’s approval, Jia Daihua ordered people to go to the store in Sanzhou in a calm manner, and collected the local grain prices, the price of grain in Xibei’s grocery store, and the shipping cost of these grains from Jiangnan to Northwest. How much, based on this cost, how much Xibei should sell the grain to not lose money, how did Sun Meng threaten to sell the grain at the price...

Among the sprawling evidence, the one that made the emperor most angry was a secret order obtained from Sun Meng.Jia Daihua said it very politely, that is, as early as when he and Bei Rong were not helping the enemy and allies, he discovered that Sun Meng might have fallen into someone else's trick.So before he returned to the northwest camp, he went to the Liangzhou camp to confront Sun Meng.

The result of the confrontation was that Sun Meng had indeed been tricked by others, but the person who used the tricks was so clever that he knew the sage's small seal rules.I feel that Sun Meng is not a loser, but Sun Meng feels that he has something in his hands, and he must get rid of himself so that the court will not find out that he has been tricked.That's why Sun Meng went up to participate in his own business.

Therefore, Jia Daihua came to the conclusion that Sun Meng was a narrow-minded person, and he should no longer serve as Liangzhou's general. Will you fall into other people's tricks again?

As for the person to succeed Sun Meng, Jia Daihua also thought of it for the emperor, and that was Meng Bai.In Jia Daihua's words, Meng Bai fought bravely, and his contribution in the first battle with Ruan Gai was as good as any of his state guards.

The emperor who received the passbook almost vomited blood.Jia Daihua's documents were presented by the Ministry of War as usual, and the evidence passed through the hands of countless people. The emperor's face was almost swollen from beatings, and he had to admit that the secret order was indeed the product of anti-indirect tactics.

The most embarrassing thing in the world is that when someone points at your nose and scolds you, you still have to say that what they scolded is right.What else?Could it be that the emperor admitted to his subordinates that he was the one who gave Sun Meng the secret order?

Even if Jia Daihua asked Meng Bai to be promoted to the Liangzhou guard, the emperor had to admit it with his nose--you can tell with your toes, Jia Daihua must not only have gone to a military camp in Liangzhou to confront him, but now he is ruined. Even Sun Meng's secret order is useless, and the other two secret orders must be in Jia Daihua's hands.

As long as Jia Daihua throws out one, the emperor can imagine his own fate—there are several emperors in the history books who counted on killing heroes.

Sun Meng, who had received a special appointment order to enter Beijing, faced Jia Daihua who sent Meng Bai to take office, with a wonderful expression on his face: "Uncle Ningyuan is superior in planning, and the general will admire him."

"Small tricks are nothing to worry about." Jia Daihua said with a flat face, "The mountains are high and the rivers are long, General Sun has a safe journey." So far, Liangzhou has come into Jia Daihua's hands.

Sun Meng was not Jia Daihua, the Liangzhou Army had a strength of [-] troops, and was short of more than [-] men.Orphans who have been well trained in Zhuangzi can just make up for it, and there is no need to disturb the court.And the twenty generals who came to Liangzhou Army as instructors also stayed to help Meng Bai, and took Sun Meng's confidants into the Northwest Army to teach them how to behave.

When the Pingzhou and Ningzhou armies heard about Sun Meng's end, they couldn't help but feel insecure, and hoped to borrow the twenty instructors in their battalion to further cultivate friendship with Jia Daihua.In order for the instructors to speak well of themselves, it is easier for the instructors to do things in the army, so that the generals of the Northwest Army can act more smoothly in the two battalions.

Gradually, what the instructors said was more effective than what the soldiers' superiors said, and sometimes soldiers even used the instructors' theories to refute their superiors.The violent Shangguan wanted to punish the soldiers, so the instructors came forward to prove how Jia Daihua dealt with such a situation encountered by the Northwest Army. Soldiers can also have their own opinions.

The general was not convinced, so he wanted to go to the master general with the instructor to ask for an explanation. In order to ease the relationship with Jia Daihua, the master would speak to the instructor again. shooting place.For many things, the generals of the headquarters have to ask the instructors first before reporting to their chief generals, and every time they give opinions, they will be praised by the chief generals.

People are tough.

However, in two years, the Northwest has been brought under great rule - Elder Quan Ge, who had asked to become an official when he returned to Beijing, asked for grace for his family's children in the official letter, and the emperor rewarded two officials to the Quan family.After some work, the two children of the Quan family became the prefects of Ningzhou and Liangzhou respectively.

The magistrate of Pingzhou, as soon as he took office, sent news to go to the northwest camp to recognize Jia Daihua as the master. He was a dead man trained when he was Ning Guogong, and he became a civil servant by accident.After Qiao Nan's incident happened, the court selected the prefect of Pingzhou, and he walked around a bit, accepting this vacancy that no one wanted to take up.

The magistrate of Pingzhou said that although the two children of the Quan family did not recognize the master, they both visited Jia Daihua in the northwest camp at the beginning of their tenure, and there was no lack of sincerity in their words.In the past two years, they have spared no effort to help Jia Daihua educate the people under his rule and promote the planting of three new crops.

Those three crops are also very competitive. Even in a place like the Northwest, the yield cannot compare with the yield in Jia Daihua's memory. Compared with the crops of this era, the yield is amazing enough.In addition to the poor taste, there is no problem with a full stomach. The people in Northwest China are all grateful for Jia Daihua's virtue.

Both the military power and the people's government are in his own hands, and Jia Daihua's base area can be regarded as well built.What is even more gratifying is that Xiqiang has been held in the hands of the gui character in the past two years. Since doing business with the Xiqiang people, the gui character has followed Jia Daihua's confession and is only willing to exchange silk, satin and porcelain from the south of the Yangtze River for Xi Qiang. The wool of the Qiang people also includes cattle and sheep.

Almost as soon as they saw the silk and porcelain sent by the gui character, the nobles of Xiqiang were fascinated by such exquisite things, and they wanted as much as they had, and the price was determined by the gui character.I heard that the purchase price of wool given by Guizi is not much less than that of cattle and sheep. The Xiqiang people felt that they had taken advantage of it, and began to raise sheep on a large scale.

Grasslands have a limited amount of livestock. If you raise more sheep, you will not be able to raise more cattle and horses. In order to exchange more things, the Xiqiang people can only gradually give up raising horses-who can exchange things they don’t care about Still willing to work hard on horseback to grab it?

Soon, the Xiqiang people discovered that the Nanman who did business with them had brought another thing called wool. The clothes made of wool were close to the body and kept warm, which was more suitable for the bitter cold place of Xiqiang than silk and satin.

Nothing to say, let's change it with wool.Not only that, the women in Xiqiang all picked up sweater needles and knit sweaters non-stop every day—Nanman was willing to pay a lot of money for sweaters, and the income from knitting one was enough to raise a sheep.

As a result, the women, who accounted for half of the labor force in Xiqiang, were trapped in tents like this, and the men in Xiqiang had to take on more work of grazing.

When the three new crops in the northwest were planted in large quantities, the kui characters were brought to Xiqiang to promote them.The price is really not cheap.In the words of gui, these new things have just been successfully planted in the northwest, and even the emperor has not paid tribute. They took the risk of deceiving the emperor, quietly bought the planters, and bought them for the nobles of Xiqiang to try out.

Even the emperors of the Central Plains could not eat the food, and they could enjoy it first. The Xiqiang nobles felt that Guizi was really a friend worth making.In the first year, there were a few greedy Xiqiang nobles who wanted Baierlang empty-handed.

Unexpectedly, those who deliver the goods in Guizi are not good people. They even had a few fights with the nobles of Xiqiang who dared to rob their goods. silver.

Since then, Guizi has been able to travel smoothly on the land of Xiqiang, and no one dares to take things without giving money—they gave an ultimatum to the royal family of Xiqiang. It will give up the business in Xiqiang.

The Xiqiang royal family has already used exquisite things, so why would they want to reuse gold bowls and silver cups?That thing is quite expensive, but it is monotonous, and the colorful porcelain is still beautiful.Silk and satin are also smooth, and woolen yarn increases everyone's income, which can be exchanged for more silk and satin and porcelain.

There are also those three kinds of crops - Guizi is sold to Xiqiang not only for food, but also for cooking methods - which also made some people sincerely love it. After all, they always eat beef and mutton, which is also annoying.Therefore, Xiqiang has been very quiet for the past two years, which made Feng Tang very surprised that the weather has always been smooth, why they didn't come to the side.

If the Western Qiang did not invade the frontier, Feng Tang could not increase the number of troops under his command little by little through constant friction with the Beirong like Jia Daihua did. After two years, the strength of the Northwest Camp has increased to 5000 The number of people has increased by a full ten percent.

Even if Feng Tang is in an alliance with Jia Daihua for the time being, he will not be ignorant of things in the northwest.Jia Daihua's current control over the Northwest made Feng Tang a little uneasy.

Equally disturbed was the emperor.

When it was time to escort the tax money to the capital, the emperor received Jia Daihua's memorial. He dared to tell the emperor that the weather in the northwest was dry this year, and the crops were almost wiped out.The people in the three northwestern states do not expect the court to provide disaster relief, but only hope that they will not be allowed to pay this year's tax money.

You, a guard, speak for the people with the prefect's heart, what do you want to do?Combined with the spies' reports, the emperor knew that although there was a severe drought in the Northwest this year, the new crops that Jia Daihua had planted in the past two years were still yielding.He is submitting the memorial now, or through the Ministry of War, because he just wants to buy fame and people's hearts!

Now in the court, the first assistant and the second assistant support any decision made by the emperor, and the newly-promoted Shange old man said that he is the answerer of the first assistant.Occasionally, the two pavilion elders, Zhang and Liu, made some strange noises, but they gradually seldom raised any disagreements.

No one listens when you say it, and it is annoying to always mention it.The two elders, who were old officials, smiled wryly at each other when they heard the emperor asked them to discuss how to reply to Jia Daihua's memorial.

"Tax money must go to Beijing." The emperor set the tone from the very beginning, and he couldn't collect taxes from one place. Does that place still belong to him, the emperor?Could it be that the shore of the land is the land of the king, Jia Daihua wants to challenge him, the emperor.

The elders Zhang and Liu didn't even look at each other this time, they each smiled wryly in their hearts and bowed their heads in silence.But the chief assistant thought of a question: "What the sage said is wise. It's just that the three northwest states are in drought, and it's difficult to collect taxes and money. This is going to Beijing..."

"The three prefectures have surplus over the years. Besides, don't those three prefectures have some new crops, which can be used for tax credits." The emperor said firmly.

Cifu had no choice but to say: "Transporting grain to Beijing is risky and consumes a lot, and the cost on the road is far greater than transporting silver."

That's right, it wasn't because of this, the emperor directly gave Jia Daihua a verdict, why bother to convene the cabinet for discussion.

"Has all the grain and grass in the Northwest this year have been transported?" The emperor's mind turned quickly, or he had already thought of it before calling the cabinet meeting. Now he said he was discussing with the cabinet, but he wanted to cause conflicts in the future. Push it on someone's head in the cabinet.

The chief assistant shook his head: "Because the northwestern defenders have their own farmland, the court made up the difference. This year's flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the grain output is only [-]% of the normal level, and it is not easy to recruit, so there is still a need to raise money."

The emperor smiled and said, "This is the best of both worlds. Na Jia Daihua raised military rations directly from the northwest, and the silver taels needed were offset by the tax money of the three states. The grain from the south of the Yangtze River was kept locally, or dispatched elsewhere for disaster relief."

Why don't you go to heaven.

The three states couldn't even collect taxes, and asked Jia Daihua to use the tax money to buy grain, what would he buy with it?There is more than one camp in the northwest for the Northwest defenders. Is the food and grass for an army of more than [-] troops a small amount?

Not to mention that there is no silver, even if there is silver, you, the emperor, don't know how much the output per mu in the Northwest is?Buying all the output of the Northwest is not enough for all the Northwest defenders.

The food has been bought by the defenders, what do the common people eat?No matter how popular Jia Daihua is in the Northwest, the people in the Northwest will still stab his villain if there is such a thing as taking food from the mouths of the people.

Zhang Ge couldn't listen anymore: "Saint, the land in the northwest is barren. Whenever there is a famine, you will point to the court for relief. Even if there is still some surplus food, you have to prepare for the spring famine. The northwest defenders want to get it from the people. I’m afraid it’s insufficient financing to buy grain.”

Elder Liu Ge also said: "The weather in central Beijing is better, and winter has already entered the Northwest. There is a severe drought in the Northwest, as well as in Beirong and Xiqiang. Maybe they will go south this year to invade the frontier. Let the Northwest defenders do their own thing at this time." Buy food, if you can’t buy it, it will lead to a catastrophe.”

You can take care of yourself. Two years ago, the Northwest Army only cut off food for ten days, and you were called a fool by the people of the world. Now you dare to cut off the food of the entire Northwest Defense Army, and you will be cut off for another year. ?

Believe it or not, the world is pouring over you?

Even the first assistant and the second assistant also advised the emperor to think twice.The emperor stood up angrily from behind the dragon case: "Don't you know that there is a severe drought in the Northwest this year? But there is not only one Northwest in this world. The floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the earthquake in Sichuan also need relief from the court. If the tax money from the Northwest is not collected, what can I get?" To help?"

Mr. Zhang Ge could only hehe in his heart, only the rich land helped the poor, and he had never heard of using the same disaster-stricken poor land to help the rich.

The Hubu Shangshu, who was pulled to the side to listen again, had another thought in his mind: At this time, forcing Jia Daihua to use Northwest tax money to buy food and grass for the Northwest defenders seems to be taking advantage of the court, but what if it becomes a rule? ?

He still remembers the fact that Jia Daihua participated in the Northwest Army and demoted more than 20 generals.Hasn't it become a rule by now that the promotion of generals of the Northwest Army, as long as there is a document, the Ministry of War must approve it?

Should I say this or not?Hubu Shangshu peeked at the enraged emperor, and found that he was pressing his brows again. Knowing that it was a sign of the emperor's headache, he quietly swallowed back the words he wanted to remind:

Some time ago, there was a censor who also sang against the emperor in this situation. As a result, the emperor had a headache and didn't want to hear him slander. He ignored the practice of not killing the official, and directly killed the person on the grounds of damaging the dragon's body. up.

The head on the neck is cut off and never grows back. The yearly tax money in the northwest is not much, and the emperor himself doesn't care.Hubu Shangshu resolutely persuaded himself in his heart for the sake of the dragon body.

No one refuted the emperor's words anymore, and the Northwest garrison used the tax money of the three Northwest states to raise military rations on the spot and issued an explicit order.When the decree reached the northwest, Jia Daihua and Meng Bai could still stand still, but Xu Jin and the generals in Ningzhou couldn't sit still.

Chilling, really chilling.The emperor didn't know how hard his border guards had to eat, or didn't he know that if there were no three crops promoted by Jia Daihua in the Northwest this year, the common people would be empty?

What should I do if I can't sit still, I will arrange a time to camp in the northwest to seek advice from Jia Daihua.Jia Daihua's performance was even more chilling than theirs: "I think my father and Tai/zu fought together, and Tai/zu rewarded the Duke of the country. But when I became a saint, I was demoted to a first-class general."

"Uncle Ning Yuan on me was sealed by the sage who thought that I would not survive. Before my injury was fully healed, he forced me to guard the border in the northwest. As a subject, I am only the holy man. Listen, but the sage ordered Qiao Nan to cut off the food and grass of our Northwest Army."

"In order to feed the soldiers, I had to ask my servants to collect three kinds of crops in the south. Fortunately, they can be grown in the northwest, and the yield is not bad. Not only the defenders, but also the common people have more food."

"But it's just to let the people have enough to eat. There was a severe drought in the Northwest this year, and the court should provide relief. But now the sage ordered us to raise food on the spot, not to mention the money, but to use the tax money of the three states. .”

"Do the math yourself, will the three states have tax money to collect this year?!" Having said this, Jia Daihua really slapped the table.The emperor is completely shameless, so just let the world see his face.

The faces of Xu Jin and the general of Ningzhou turned green and pale. Jia Daihua did not say why the emperor thought he would not survive. They knew very well that if they had rescued him in time, Jia Daihua would not have suffered such serious injuries.

Saint, can you really be called holy if you act like this?The two of them had such a thought in their hearts together.

"We all know what Uncle Ning Yuan said, but now we have to find a way to feed the army."

"I can't think about it." Jia Daihua said bluntly.

Xu Jin and the general of Ningzhou looked at each other in blank dismay. They both knew that a lot of crops had been produced in the northwest in the past two years, and Jia Daihua didn't stop sending people to transfer grain to the northwest.Now in his hands, he dare not say anything else. It is still no problem to guarantee the food and grass of the Northwest Army for half a year.

So they actually wanted Jia Daihua to think of a way for the defenders of their two states. Jia Daihua also understood what they meant, and now he directly refused.

Jia Daihua was sneering in his heart, you are not my subjects, why should the emperor ask me to find a solution when he was wronged by you?Whoever wronged you find someone to cry.

Xu Jin smiled wryly: "Uncle Ning Yuan, the cause of this matter is also because..."

Jia Daihua looked at him with cold eyes: "General Xu is blaming me? That's right, who told me to be troublesome, because I don't want the people to starve to death, so I have to write this paper for the people of the three states. Now it seems that General Xu might as well do it again." With the last discount, it was announced that the sage Pingzhou tax bank can be escorted to Beijing, and the sage will presumably draw rations for the Pingzhou army alone."

No wonder!

Xu Jin knew very well that Pingzhou didn't confiscate even one-tenth of the tax money this year. Don't say that the emperor won't take it back when the decree has been issued.Even if there is no clear decree, the emperor will blame him for deceiving the emperor if the tax money is insufficient.

With such a king at the booth, Xu Jin couldn't find any other way to express it except for a wry smile.

The general of Ningzhou had a clear mind, and after returning with Xu Jin in vain, he quietly ran back to the northwest camp, and showed Jia Daihua his determination to follow Jia Daihua's lead in the future, saying that even if his Ningzhou army was hungry If he dies, he will also advance and retreat with the Northwest Army: "Uncle Ning Yuan will have an order in the future, even if he asks me to dig my own ancestral grave, I will not say anything." This guy finally summed it up like this.

Jia Daihua was very willing to deal with smart people, and Ningzhou Lord General was so kind, so he pointed him to a bright way, that is, he could go to the local Xibei grocery store to see if there was any grain for sale.

No money, easy to say, you can owe it.As for the conditions written on the IOU, that was a matter between him and the owner of the grocery store, and Jia Daihua would not be involved.The cheerful Ningzhou guard left, and Jia Daihua's next move began.

This year is indeed as the emperor said, natural disasters continue everywhere.Whenever there is a natural disaster, some people will often think about the unknown emperor or the treacherous state-owned ministers. If the people can't afford to eat, they will definitely want to change. This is a good opportunity for him to make a move.

What's more, the emperor talked about disaster relief, but the tax money collected from all over the country was not vague at all. Even the additional tax item for strengthening the northwest defense line that everyone knew was a fig leaf refused to stop.

If you don't take the opportunity to make a fuss, you will be sorry for Jia Daihua's preparations in the past few years!

Rebellions have always been preceded by public opinion. Both Jia Daihua and Mr. Shi have figured out the way to mobilize public opinion. This time the action can be called smooth and smooth: Jia Daihua secretly provided money in the northwest, and hundreds of rural elections The old man who left the village went to Beijing to "beg for food" all the way, begging the emperor to show compassion for the people in the northwest and give them a way out.

In Jiangnan and other places, a non-governmental organization called "Datongjiao" has been quietly spread for a long time.This organization does not teach people to believe in God, and it does not teach people to cultivate the afterlife. It only focuses on having enough food in this world, so that everyone in the world will have ample food and clothing and great harmony in the world.

The Christian name is simple and clear, and the doctrine is also very simple, that is, relatives help relatives, neighbors help neighbors, and the poor should help the poor.In the words of the leader of the organization, the emperor does not care about the life and death of the common people. They cannot just watch their brothers and sisters go hungry. I'll give it back to you in ten mouthfuls.

A bite of food, in time, can really save a person's life.The organizers of the Datong Church were the first to take out food to accommodate those homeless orphans.At the beginning, the common people did not believe that pies could really fall from the sky, but when they ate the life-saving food, they realized whether the pies were real or made of meat.

Yes, Chinese people have the idea of ​​taking advantage of petty gains, but it doesn't mean that they all lose their shame for petty gains.Even if only half of the people return that morsel of food, spreading the word to hundreds of people will make Datong Sect more and more believers.

With the deepening of everyone's letter, Datong teacher also took out several easy-to-plant crops to teach them to grow.These kinds of crops don’t choose the land and have high yields. You can plant a few in the field, which makes everyone feel that their lives are better and their religious beliefs are more pious.

Gradually, the Datong Sect was not satisfied with just helping each other within itself, and began to sell to people with some wealth. They had their own teachings and brainwashing things, and they were very convincing. It seemed that people who did not join the Datong Sect, It's just inhumane and without a trace of sympathy.

And they don't force anyone, just persuasion, explaining, and pulling people to go with them to deliver some food to those who can't open the pot, so that the sympathy of the people who are persuaded is overwhelming, and they feel that their lives are easier from the bottom of their hearts, which produces huge sense of superiority.

You are superior, and you have accepted other people’s thanks, so it’s just not justified if you don’t take anything away?Waiting for some food to be produced, and if the family is harassed by some hooligans and ruffians, someone will help out. Some wealthy people have really discovered the benefits of Datong teaching.

Small investment returns big ah.In this era when officials have two mouths and officials are the parents of the common people, common people are not willing to alert the government if they have any problems.In the past, they were harassed by local gangsters and ruffians, so they could only spend money to avoid disasters.After joining the Datong Sect, they are not afraid of the harassment from those people. Most of the people feel that the food is worth it, and they are very willing to give out the food next time.

At this time, the elders of the Northwest Village, who were begging for food only on their two legs, finally saw the city wall of the capital. They stopped taking a step forward and knelt directly under the city wall together.

Think about it, a group of 70-year-olds dressed in outlandish clothes, with patches all over their bodies, and hungry faces, kneeling under the city wall collectively, what a shocking scene it is.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were stunned. Are these people the victims of the disaster? They are a bit older. Aren’t those fleeing everywhere with their families behind them? mean?

While reporting to the top, the soldiers sent out people to inquire about the situation with these beggar-like old people, and found that communication was still very difficult-the old people all spoke the Northwest dialect, and the soldiers could only guess that they were from the Northwest. Begging all the way from the northwest.

Northwest, how far away is that? It is really not easy for these people to reach the capital alive.It was rare for the soldiers to have a heart of compassion, so they asked the old people to get up first and sit under the city wall to rest for a while without even checking the guides carefully.

After finally getting them to understand what I meant, the soldiers got a lot of bangs as thanks, and couldn’t help being a little embarrassed, and didn’t pay much attention to the old people who sneaked into the city from time to time—it’s just that they were so hungry that they wanted to Go to town earlier to beg for a meal?Who doesn't have an old man, just turn a blind eye and close one eye.

When Shuntian Mansion finally issued an order not to let these people enter the city, two-thirds of the elderly who couldn't starve had already gone to the city to beg for food.The soldiers guarding the city gate were reprimanded, but they felt that what they did was not wrong—there were so many dignitaries in Beijing, and if they leaked something, it would be enough for these hundreds of old people to have a full meal. They all came over, making people starve to death at the foot of the imperial city.

So the remaining one-third of the old man wanted to find his companion, but the soldiers didn't stop him: he didn't know what the person who entered the city looked like, so he wouldn't let the old man's companion look for him. That two-thirds of the people were driven out of the city?

No one expected that these old refugees who seemed to be down in the wind knew that they might not understand the accent of the people in Beijing. , what you want to do, how you hold the determination to die, etc. are clearly written.

Before anyone asks for food, one of them will take out a piece of paper, hand it to someone to read, and then carefully stretch out his dirty hand.When I was on the edge of the city, there were not many literate people, no one could understand what was written on the paper, and the old people didn't get much food.

They had to walk to the inner city step by step, and when they handed out the paper, they wisely chose those who wore Confucian clothes.Scholars are naturally literate, and after reading it, they couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation: the court wanted to cut off the food of the Northwest Army, not only to cut off the food of the Northwest Army, but also to starve the people in the Northwest to death.

Aren't the people in the northwest the emperor's people? !

Looking at the old people with dark skin, chapped lips, and ragged clothes, the scholar was very angry. Apart from taking out the only money he had on his body to buy food for the old people, he also followed them to the inner city.

There were always many idlers on the street, and soon they found that some scholars were getting mixed up with beggars, so they wanted to go forward to ask what happened, and then followed the team to the inner city.Damn, what's wrong with the world, the ones who force the elderly in their sixties and seventies to leave their homes to ask for grace, or the ones that Uncle Ning Yuan won't let go even after he wrote a letter?

In the eyes of idlers who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Uncle Ning Yuan is like a god of war. He survived with an arrow stuck in his chest for a month.
