Chapter 221

Ideal is beautiful, reality is skinny.

Under the banner of clearing the party and recovering the mountains and rivers, the Du family army held explosives in one hand and steamed buns in the other, and they were invincible wherever they went.

They first used dynamite to shock a wave, and the frightened souls of the other party were scattered, and then they threw white-faced steamed buns into the city, saying that they could have used dynamite to attack the city, but they are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and they are afraid of hurting innocent people, so you still Surrender.

Surrender and not kill, everyone in the city has steamed buns to eat, come on, open the city gate to welcome the army, and live a good life together with food and clothing.

The two hands were used at the same time, and the effect was quite astonishing. The defending army was very afraid of the powerful explosives. The people in the city were full of joy and secretly opened the city gates to welcome the arrival of the Du family army.

He won a city almost without a single soldier, and it went smoothly, beyond everyone's expectations.

The army of the Du family was strictly disciplined and did not disturb the people, but only took over the local garrison. The officials of Xiliang then took over city affairs.

The first thing the officials did was to open the granary and distribute it to the people, to take back a large piece of land and distribute it to the people one by one.

This policy was warmly supported by the people and quickly stabilized the hearts of the people.

As for the local nobles and wealthy businessmen, they were allowed to hand over half of their family property to leave, and if they stayed, they had to abide by the rules of Xiliang.

In general, these rules are quite friendly to the common people, and the rich and powerful of the aristocratic family hate them.

But, is there any way, people hold weapons in their hands, and people's fists are big.

Officials operate slowly and can always digest it.

Every time they arrived at a city, the Du family's army acted like this. They attacked the city in front, and the officials waited to receive them in the back.

They did not encounter any resistance. Although those dignitaries wanted to resist, they were hard to resist the boiling public opinion.

The people united and tried their best to open the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city were also born in poverty, and the soldiers at the bottom did not have a good life.

Who doesn't know the oil of the Xiliang fat, the good things sold on the street all come from Xiliang.

Listening to the businessmen of Xiliang talk about Xiliang, everyone can eat and wear warmly, and children can read for free. These three points alone are enough to make people crazy.

What's more, this year, the government gave each resident a piece of cotton cloth, two catties of cotton, worth several taels of silver. This story has already spread all over the country, making the world cry with envy.

I have never heard of such a good thing, and the people of Xiliang are too happy. This is simply the life of the gods.

In contrast, the people under the Jin Dynasty's mansion lived in dire straits and looked particularly miserable.

In order to raise food and grass, the Jin palace desperately raided the people, increased taxes, and even recruited strong men.

There is no hope, only patience.

But when they heard about Xiliang, while they were envious, they also planted a seed of hope.

Just ask Du Jiajun of Xiliang to rescue them! Come on, my dears.

They were so excited that they couldn't wait to fall into each other's arms.

Whoever dares to stop them from running towards Xiliang is their enemy, waiting to be torn to shreds by them.

Therefore, in this case, the battle cannot be fought.

The Du family's army continued to descend to the Nine Cities like a rainbow, shocking the court, and the palace of the King of Jin.

The advisor looked around blankly, "This situation is not right. No matter how hard the Du family's army can fight, we won't be defeated so quickly."

He imagined that there were winners and losers, and he looked down on Du Jiajun because they had more soldiers.

But, in just a few days, they were retreating steadily, which was completely beyond their expectations.

King Jin was irritated, "Where is the problem?"

He was puzzled. Could it be that Du Shaoxuan has some secret weapon?

Yes, the Du family's army has gunpowder, but it won't be lost so quickly.

No, you have to find out why.

Everyone looked at each other and they didn't know.

A general raised his hand weakly, "I seem to know something."

Everyone looked over with different expressions. What could a simple-minded general know?

"What is it? Say it now."

Others complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The general is a little depressed, can this be blamed on him? "I just thought about it too. The problem should...be with the county owner of Qingping."

King Jin's face was extremely bad, but somehow, it wasn't surprising at all.

Mu Wanqing... is a variable, a variable that he cannot control.

If only there was no Mu Wanqing in this world.

The advisor looked bewildered, "How do you say this? The county magistrate of Qingping doesn't know how to fight."

"She can make money, is good at governance, and is good at managing her reputation." Even if it was an enemy, the military admiral Mu Wanqing admired her somewhat.

He had come into close contact with Mu Wanqing, and he never forgot her style.

She was the smartest and most capable woman he had ever seen, and she was not allowed to be a man.

He reminisced about the past, but the others couldn't be in a hurry, "Don't be vague, speak clearly."

The general regained his senses and sighed softly, "Although we are thousands of miles away, the glass mirrors, cotton coats, quilts, sweaters, and hats made by the county magistrate of Qingping are all in use. She built a caravan, not only The products are sold all over the country, making a lot of money, and the army has sufficient supplies, so there is no worries."

Everyone knows this, the King of Jin strictly prohibited Mu Family Business from entering his territory from the very beginning.

But he couldn't stand the local noble family and his relatives and competent generals to cooperate with the Mu Family Firm.

In the face of interests, even if he is the King of Jin, he has to bow his head.

Blocking people's way of making money, such as killing their parents, so many people unite to put pressure on him, he can't offend everyone.

Therefore, things from Xiliang keep coming in, and a lot of money is earned.

The general's expression was extremely complicated, "The most important thing is that she conveyed a message to the outside world through these, Xiliang is very rich, the people are prosperous, well-fed and clothed, and there are many benefits. It can be said to be a paradise-like existence, which evokes The world's yearning for Xiliang."

"What people want." This is the real reason for their fiasco.

A sentence of people's aspirations changes everyone's face, as long as anyone who has read the book for a few years knows the weight of this sentence.

King Jin stroked his chest, feeling extremely annoyed, Mu Wanqing, and Mu Wanqing again, is this the first time that he has been bad?

His subordinates exploded the pot, "What a good Qingping county magistrate, he has already laid out his plans quietly, keeping us all in the dark."

"I always thought that she got into the eyes of money, disregarding the honor of the county owner to fish for yellow and white things. It was too cheap. It seems that I am too closed."

"The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the best, attacking the city is the bottom, fighting with the heart is the best, and fighting with the army is the bottom. Who said she can't fight?" Note (1)

She is fighting a public opinion war, a heart attack, and it has already started, and the subtlety of the layout is shocking.

The funny thing is that they didn't know anything about it, and they unknowingly gave her a hand.

Such scheming is terrifying.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing, making people breathless.

The soldier who had been silent took a deep breath and broke the silence, "You think too much about her, but she's just a woman, it's just a coincidence."

Everyone looked at each other, coincidence? how can that be?

King Jin nodded without hesitation, "Yes, it's just a coincidence. Since the problem has been found, let's find a way to solve it."

The strategist looked at him and reached a consensus, "It's very simple. Find a way to smear her reputation and call Xiliang a human hell."

The general was a little skeptical, "Can this work?"

The head of Qingping County is not an ordinary person.

King Jin snorted coldly, "It's just a group of foolish people, they believe whatever we say, don't hesitate, just deal with it."

"Yes."

Everyone went to work, only the military advisor stayed.

King Jin lost his firmness just now, looking confused and uneasy, "Master, is the destiny really on my side?"

If he is the son of destiny, why not give Mu Wanqing to him?

With Mu Wanqing to help him, why would he worry about not succeeding?

The strategist also felt the power of Mu Wanqing. She was thousands of miles away, but she still made people feel her lethality.

Killing and not being able to kill is really a headache.

But at such a time, we must go on firmly, "Of course, there is no doubt."

The strategist thought very well, as long as she poured dirty water on Mu Wanqing and smeared her reputation, no one would believe her words.

He let people spread a lot of slander Mu Wanqing, what a black-hearted dog official, tried his best to exploit the people of Xiliang, and all the money he made went into his pocket.

Do the people of Xiliang eat tungsten and wear warm clothes? Do you actually believe this? fake.

The real state is that people in Xiliang starved to death, and countless beggars froze to death on the streets in winter.

What cotton coat, sweater, waterwheel cement, do you really think she invented it? fake.

She controlled a group of capable craftsmen, forcing them to develop new products day and night, waiting for the results to be theirs, she is a liar who deceives the world.

She made her fortune by looting other people's things.

As for step up? It was by conquering every man that she became what she is today, and she is a feisty woman.

Mu Wanqing's black story is flying all over the sky, and the people will inevitably have doubts after hearing it.

But soon, Mu Wanqing made a big move.

She wrote an open letter to thank King Jin for ceding Fufeng City to her. She found an undeveloped salt lake in Fufeng City, which can guarantee the supply of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiliang for several years. sincerely thank you.

She asked seriously, why didn't Fufeng City find Salt Lake in the hands of King Jin? It seems that your luck is not good. If the destiny does not return, you will not be the emperor. Whoever follows you will be unlucky.

This letter, don't know how to get it, it has spread everywhere, and it has become a household gossip.

The King of Jin was about to go crazy, and the porcelain in the room changed batch after batch.

This is just the beginning.

A few days later, Mu Wanqing published another open letter, and she was deeply honored to hear that the King Jin's mansion was dedicated to smearing her reputation. This was the greatest compliment to her.

To express their gratitude, gave them a generous gift and made public the evidence of their collusion with Beichu and Xiwu.

She also asked three times in the letter, in order to seek to usurp the throne, collude with foreign enemies, and send countless compatriots to death, does your conscience hurt?

Now treat the people like ants and trample on them at will. If you succeed, can you expect you to treat the people kindly?

A person who introduces foreign enemies and doesn't care about the fragmentation of the country, is it worth the soldiers to defend them?

In the end, she said, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the monarch dies. This is the integrity that a dynasty should have, and the integrity that a king should have.

And you, don't deserve it!

As soon as this letter came out, the world was shaken, and the people of Jin Wangfu were completely lost.

But this is not Mu Wanqing's trump card, the most fatal blow is about to hit.
