The life of the people in Tongcheng is better than that in Huizhou City. After all, they have not been harmed by the soldiers who invaded the city. However, it is also a border city and the people have the same hardship, which is not as good as the people in the prosperous city.
Jiang Jiuniang took a brief stroll around and felt confident. Then she went back and asked her son to write a notice for the soldiers to post in the most conspicuous place in the city to ensure that it would be seen by the people in the city.
"Collect wool?"
"What does the government need wool for?"
"Isn't it a code word, saying it is wool, but it is actually Do you want our sheep?”
“Hey, how can that be done! That’s our lifeblood!”
…
The common people instantly became confused. They believed Beiyan officers and soldiers who said they would not harm them. In just a few days, they were about to snatch away their sheep. This was even more unacceptable than killing them directly.
“Look carefully, what are they all yelling about!”
The soldiers guarding the notice were a little angry and did not want these people to misunderstand their wife, so they shouted to let everyone know calm down.
"What our wife wants is wool. This wool is of no use to you. You can go back, cut it off, clean it up, and bring it to the Yamen in exchange for money. Our wife will not ask for your things in vain!"< br />
The soldier had a loud voice, and he was wearing a woolen sweater. Naturally, he knew that wool could be of great use, and he didn't want these people to misunderstand and delay his wife's affairs.
Sure enough, after he explained, everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it was true.
The government would always ask them to hand over things unconditionally and never give them money, because those people felt that they should pay for the government as a matter of course.
Just like the soldiers in the city who had no food before, they went door to door to ask them to give up their food. Fortunately, they were used to frugal and frugal, and the family survived with a little food. , otherwise you can still live till now?
But now the Beiyan people who invaded said that they wanted to buy their wool with money. They didn't believe it. After all, their own parents in Dongting couldn't do such a good job, let alone Beiyan. people?
I heard that when Dongting captured Beiyan Huizhou City, they burned, killed and plundered the city, driving away all the people in the city. Now it is their turn. Beiyan not only did not retaliate, but also returned to them. money!
However, the Beiyan people just wanted wool, and they didn’t lose anything, so they didn’t have any objections and went back to shearing the sheep.
Everyone has selfish motives. They know that the weather is still cold and if too many sheep are sheared, they will die, so they are all within the tolerance range.Cut some inside to make things easier.
However, when taking the wool to the Yamen, there were actually officers and soldiers weighing it at the door and then paying according to the kilogram!
Several large baskets were filled with copper coins, and two beautiful women in rich clothes were allocating money and keeping accounts in an orderly manner.
Everyone lost their composure instantly. If they had known that they were really paying, they would have cut more!
But it’s too late now, so I can only rush to queue up to get the money, and get the money first!
Jiang Jiuniang said while allocating money: "We have always collected wool. Everyone should do what they can, and at least ensure that the sheep at home can live well, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss! After a while, we will We still need to collect goat milk. When the time comes, we will put up notices. Those who have the goods at home can send it to the designated place for sale. We will pay and deliver the goods. We will not harm anyone!"
When Jiang Jiuniang said this, she deliberately made her voice very gentle and told everyone clearly, how could she, a weak woman, lie to others?
There were soldiers introducing: "These two are the wives of our General Lu and General Qin respectively. What they said is absolutely valid! From now on, you will all be our subjects of Beiyan. Our wife is willing to I will take you with me to make money and live a good life! As long as you work with peace of mind, you will definitely have a good year next year!"
This soldier is a smart man. Jiang Jiu Niang has never explained this, he just stood there These words were repeated over and over again in the crowd, allowing these people to trust Jiang Jiuniang and have a beautiful vision for the future.
Jiang Jiuniang is very optimistic about such talents. There is a lack of capable people around them, so they naturally need to pay more attention to them on weekdays, so as to keep them around in time.
She accepted this young soldier who would make a big deal for the common people!
Sure enough, when the soldier said this, everyone was instantly excited.
It is said that food is the most important thing for the people. In the past, under the jurisdiction of Dongting, they did not have enough to eat or keep warm every day, and they were squeezed by the local government. But now the people from Beiyan come. He gave them money and said he would help them make money so that they could have a good year next year.
Who wouldn’t be moved by this change!
The common people exchanged money but were still reluctant to leave. They looked at Jiang Jiuniang and Peng Yuan as if they were living bodhisattvas who were rescuing people in distress. They didn’t know who was leading the way, so they knelt down to them. After getting off the ground, he kowtowed and shouted loudly: "Thank you madam, we are willing to be Beiyan people, please protect me!"
"We are willing to be Beiyan people!"
"I am willing to be a Beiyan person!"
……
The crowd shouted slogans loudly, and many people cried excitedly. They didn't care who became the emperor or what country they were from. As long as they could have food to eat and live a good life, they were naturally willing to follow him.
What's more, when the Dongting officers and soldiers evacuated, they didn't even think of taking them with them. They were abandoned, so it's not considered treason now.
Peng Yuan was so shocked by such a battle that she was speechless for a long time. She admired Jiang Jiuniang in her heart.
No wonder these Tianjiu ladies are not worried at all about the shortage of wool. It turns out they want to come here to collect it.
What’s more important is that Beiyan officers and soldiers have just entered the city and the foundation is unstable. The people may riot, but Sister Jiu’s move kills two birds with one stone. She can not only receive wool, but also solve the problem of the workshop. It not only solves the urgent needs of the people, but also calms the emotions of these people. When they see money, they have hope for the future.
As we all know, when King Jing was guarding the border and Huizhou City was captured, he led the people to retreat together and never gave up on any of the people.
Compared to the Dongting officers and soldiers who only wanted endless demands and abandoned them, it was like heaven and earth. Everyone knew how to choose.
The scene was very shocking, and the street outside the Yamen was full of people kneeling. Jiang Jiuniang did not rush to let them get up, but said: "Don't be so polite, you are willing to sell the wool to me, I will I'm also very happy. We will need a lot of wool in the future. If you have the conditions, you can raise more sheep and you can make more money."
After finishing the important things, she personally He stepped forward to help an old woman not far away and said, "Everyone, get up quickly. There is still snow on the ground, so don't freeze your body."
It was so good that the people burst into tears of gratitude.
