Chapter 3890: Defaming his merit
Not only are the common people not stupid, on the contrary, most of the people in Guanzhong are knowledgeable. This land of emperors since ancient times contains dragon energy. There have been countless emperors, and the nobles and nobles are like crucian carp crossing the river. Whose family does not have a few rich relatives now or in their ancestors? ?
In terms of knowledge, no one in this era can match the common people in other regions.
Everyone knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is kind and loves the people like a son, but now that he is trapped in the Tai Chi Palace with no guarantee of survival, how can he care about ordinary people like them?
Although this so-called rescue team bears the name of "royal", it must be the fact that Fang Jun couldn't bear to see the people in Guanzhong dying of hunger and cold, so he used the name of the prince to provide assistance.
It is worthy of the praise given by the people of Guanzhong to "Buddha of all families". He is more kind and loving to the people than the real Buddha! Didn’t you see that Buddhist temples that are usually very popular have already closed their gates, and they refused to open the temples to accept the victims and provide help, no matter how much the people begged by the disaster? Those bald donkeys only know how to flatter the pilgrims. They crazily amassed money during the peaceful years, and then bought land. Everyone was so fat that they were so rich, and then they lent money to lease the land. The money snowballed, and more and more money was made. However, they were all greedy for wealth. Where can there be any Half of the so-called compassionate heart of monks?
Now that they saw Youtun Guards forming a "rescue team" to come to the disaster relief, the people in Guanzhong burst into tears of joy and rushed to tell each other. Many people ran away to retrieve the women and children who had just escaped, and were resettled on the spot by the "rescue team." The doctor accompanying the army began to bandage and treat the injured. Soon after, convoys carrying grain and baggage also arrived one after another. Simple camps were set up in the open space, piles of bonfires were raised, and bags of grain were unloaded.
In the middle of the night, this resettlement site was initially completed.
The victims gathered around the bonfire, eating hot rice porridge in mouthfuls. With tears rolling in their eyes, they became even more grateful to the "rescue team".
The school captain told the leader of the victims: "We will return to the camp right now. Tomorrow morning we will rush to various places in Guanzhong to rescue the victims and implement resettlement. I will leave some food for you here. In three days, we will We will send people to send more rice and grain, but the army is not in sufficient supply, so please save some.”
When several leaders heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed with "bang bang bang" and burst into tears of gratitude: "Please also tell Fang Erlang that we, the people of Guanzhong, will remember your great kindness and must build a shrine for Fang Erlang in every household..."
Someone nearby reminded in a low voice: "There is already a shrine for Fang Erlang at home..."
However, in the past, Fang Jun prayed for rain and provided disaster relief to benefit the people in Guanzhong. Many families built shrines and the incense continued during the New Year.
The leader was a little embarrassed and had to say: "Then change to a bigger one..."
The captain was also a little helpless and reminded repeatedly: "This is the 'Royal Rescue Team'. It was established only after my commander-in-chief asked the prince to establish it. You should be grateful to the prince."
They all know their own commander-in-chief. It is enough to have power and military power. As a minister, why do you need so many people to support you and such a high reputation?
It is simply the cause of disaster...
But the people didn't care. The leader shook his head and said: "Of course I want to be grateful to His Highness the Crown Prince... But His Highness the Crown Prince is aloof and arbitrary. Shouldn't Fang Erlang and you guys handle this specific matter? Anyway, we are together. Grateful.”
The common people were not very literate and had relatively simple personalities. It was not easy to change things they had decided on, and the captain had no choice but to let it go.
In fact, this is indeed the case. His Royal Highness is trapped in Tai Chi Palace, and he still doesn’t know what this so-called "Royal Rescue Team" is...
Leave some manpower behind to assist the victims in setting up tents and distributing supplies, otherwise the bad nature of people will cause these victims to fight over food and baggage. Then they leave, mount their horses, and continue to gallop southward towards the next place where the victims gather.
Several rescue teams "dressed in white and wearing yellow belts" set out from the Youtunwei Camp and rushed to various places in Guanzhong with food, medicine, tents, luggage and other supplies to treat the victims who were on the verge of despair. Such acts of kindness quickly swept through Guanzhong like a hurricane. The victims who received treatment were grateful, while the victims who had not yet received treatment were looking forward to it.
The people in Guanzhong who were affected by the flood finally looked forward to a glimmer of hope in despair. Their restless and desperate mood was relieved. The voices of some people who were provoking and bewitching gradually became quieter. They all knew that since it was Fang Jun who took action now, no matter what happened, Whoever dares to cross the line and try to deceive these victims will be ruthlessly attacked by Youtun Guards.
……
In Yanshou Square, when Yu Wenshiji heard the news about the "rescue team", he was discussing logistics with Dugu Lan and Linghu Defen. A fire outside the Jinguang Gate burned all the grain gathered by the Guanlong Gate clan. In order to maintain the army, daily consumption, each family had to contribute the grain they had hoarded. Everyone knows that at this time, we cannot hide our personal interests, and we must work together to overcome difficulties. However, each family has different sizes and distinct strengths and weaknesses. When it comes to the specific share that needs to be borne, we must discuss it carefully and try to avoid the troubles caused by this.
It is human nature to "worry not about scarcity but about inequality". Originally, the Guanlong clan was in a state of turmoil and disunity, and it was only because of the current crisis that they managed to get together. Once the internal turmoil among each other resumes, it will really be over, and they will lose. No doubt...
After hearing the news about the "rescue team", Linghu Defen disagreed: "It has always been Fang Jun's habit to be unconventional. The symbolic meaning of such behavior is far greater than the substantive meaning. It is just an invitation to buy people's hearts and coerce public opinion, thinking that this can mobilize the entire Guanzhong Station. Over there in the East Palace? It’s so naive.”
In the past few years, he devoted himself to writing books and rarely participated in court battles. He believed that his realm was very different from before, and he was considered the leader among the great scholars in the world. But no matter how high you are, you can't just laugh at the humiliation you suffered back then. Not only was Wu Meiniang scratching your face with peach blossoms, but you were also forced by Fang Jun to hit a pillar in the Tai Chi Palace to pretend to be unconscious. He has long been the laughing stock of the world, and there is no barrier in his heart. may be eliminated.
He recognized Fang Jun's talent and ability, but he couldn't stand Fang Jun's unconventional approach. He always had to find new ways to do things and deviate from conventions, which made him, a traditional scholar, unable to understand and even more disgusted with him.
Especially the "Royal Rescue Team", which is just about sensationalizing and winning people's hearts. At this critical moment, it should do its best to help the East Palace win. How can it be distracted from caring about the lives of those people and slaves?
Next to him, a young man with red face and white teeth was sending a battle report in for Yu Wenshi and his review. It was Changsun Wuji's seventh son, Sun Jing, who had just been arranged by Changsun Wuji to temporarily serve as a recorder and join the army. Hearing this, he said with hatred. : "Why not do it? How about sending troops to attack Nao Shizi's rescue team? Although the Youtun Guards are elite, they are running around in the pass. It's not difficult to kill them all in an ambush. Let's see what he can do to win people's hearts! ”
Yu Wenshiji and Linghu Defen looked at each other in confusion.
You have to tell your father this. If your father really dares to do this, do you believe that the people in Guanzhong will dig up the ancestral graves of your eldest grandson's family tonight?
The clans run rampant in the village and prey on the common people. Many fellow villagers are slaves of the clans, and their life and death depend on the clans' breath. However, this does not mean that the clans can really ignore the life and death of the people. As the saying goes, "Water can carry a boat and capsize it." A family whose reputation has been completely ruined is not far away from decline.
To take a step back, if the people die, who will you be the leader of the family?
Regardless of whether they are common people or slaves, they can be exploited at will, and their souls and flesh can nourish the foundation of the clan, but they will rebel against anyone who dares to make it difficult for them to survive!
Now that Linghu Defen's realm has improved, he is becoming more and more good as a teacher, so he patiently explained: "Qilang, you are still young, have insufficient experience, and have a shallow understanding of worldly affairs. It is understandable that you do not understand Fang Jun's ambition, but In the future, you should work hard, think more about things, and understand the deeper meaning. ”
Changsun Jing secretly rolled his eyes. He was most annoyed by this kind of incessant teaching. Why can't you speak openly if you have something to say? Do you have to use such broad-minded remarks to show your realm?
But on his face, he looked respectful and eager to learn. He bowed and said, "Please ask Duke Pengcheng to help me clear up my doubts."
Linghu Defen then stroked his beard, taught people tirelessly, and talked eloquently: "Although we all know that Fang Jun's move was just for show. Maybe he only took out a few buckets of rice, but the people don't know the details. Now. There are countless people affected by floods in Guanzhong, many of whom have long been homeless and without food. , if you catch the cold again, you will be on the verge of despair... At this time, someone stepped forward and said, "I am here to save everyone." What a desperate situation and what a surprise. Who dares to cause trouble to the rescue team here? He is the enemy of the entire Guanzhong victims!" (End of Chapter)
