Chapter 717: Talking about deeds but disregarding intentions
At this moment, Li Bowen finally understood. Where was the discussion with him? This is a notice to him!
At the same time, I am probably trying to use him to inform other officials in the capital.
The king in front of me, despite his smiling and easy-going appearance, is actually stronger than anyone else in his heart!
Li Bowen of Samsung Intelligence, although not a genius, is undoubtedly a smart man. Now that Zhou Xu has clearly stated the plan, it is impossible for him not to think about the things involved. clear.
At this time, Li Bowen secretly took a deep breath, then made a decision.
“The villain thinks that the king’s move is very good. However, if the king wants to replace the coins for the people, he must cast them in advance. This requires a certain amount of silver first. The villain is willing to spend all his wealth to help the king. A helping hand!"
"Bowen is so righteous!"
When Zhou Xu heard this, his face was filled with joy and he greatly appreciated it.
“At the same time, please rest assured Bowen, I will never mistreat my loyal ministers who serve me wholeheartedly!”
As Zhou Xu spoke, he drew another pie for Li Bowen.
Li Bowen looked excited when he heard this.
"It is said that there is a shortage of food in the city now, and many people are hungry. The little girl is kind-hearted and takes her servants to the streets to give porridge every day. However, one person's power is limited after all. The villain is now in the house. I still have some food in stock, and I am willing to donate part of it to support the king in relieving the victims!"
Li Bowen is donating both money and food at this time. This ideological realization surprised Zhou Xu! .
But he can somewhat understand Li Bowen's thoughts.
To put it bluntly, things have already reached this point anyway, so it is better to do things to the extreme so as to leave a good impression on him. After he has completely settled the war, as a loyal minister who was the first to submit and help him, how can he Get a good spot.
At the same time, he also mentioned that his daughter was also giving soup to the victims. I don’t know if she wanted to use this to improve her image.
Of course, if you see through this kind of thing but don’t say it out loud, this person is not perfect in terms of his performance but not his heart, so he still deserves to be praised.
“It is really a blessing for the people of Zhou Dynasty to have Bowen to help me!”
“It is really a blessing to the people of Zhou Dynasty to have a wise king like the king.”
After having already said that he would spend all his wealth and donate food, Li Bowen was no longer stressed now. His whole state became more relaxed. He even spoke more eloquently and slapped the horse with his backhand. fart.
Zhou Xu laughed twice and said nothing.
You can’t just donate money and food, and then flatter you after donating, and then you just scold them, right?
Besides, who doesn’t like to hear such pleasant words?
After this trip, the two of them could be said to have a very happy conversation. When Li Bowen left, Zhou Xu even sent him off personally to show his respect.
After sending Li Bowen away, Xie Liancheng scratched the back of his head.
"Hongxu, why do I sound a little confused about this matter? Why did Li Bowen donate money and food?"
Although Xie Liancheng and Li Bowen are not familiar with each other, they are It is clear that this guy is definitely not this kind of person.
Zhou Xu laughed after hearing this.
"If you don't understand, don't think about it. Your brain is not suitable for thinking about this kind of thing. Get ready. Let's go to Yan Sheng's palace!"
With the elf knights headed by Silk accompanying him and the unparalleled general Jie Liancheng, his safety is basically not a problem. The group of people just rode horses and drove all the way to Yan Sheng's palace.
On the way, Zhou Xu was also observing the capital.
Four of the seven cities under Yan Sheng's command have now fallen into his hands, which also gave Zhou Xu a clear contrast.
As of now, the internal development and planning of these four cities can be said to be different.
But in general, it is quite decent. Among them, Xianyang City, as the capital, is undoubtedly the most developed. At least for now, its subsequent development does not need to be completely demolished and redone. It can be built on the original basis. , slowly adjust and upgrade.
Leaving aside the topic of follow-up development, the famine that should be happening in the city is still happening.
This year their spring plowing and autumn harvest were not good. This is an indisputable fact. Food is limited. The dignitaries in the city are either powerful or rich. They always have the means to fill their own granaries. Full.
After the famine broke out, the people could not buy food, but they hoarded food that they could not finish. They closed the door of their house and guarded it with servants and even private soldiers, even inside the city. The garrison troops will be dispatched for them at any time. How much impact can the famine outside have on them?
As for the common people...
As far as this era is concerned, no matter where they are, their situation will not change much.
Of course, the situation has gotten much better in the past few days.
After Liancheng and the others captured Xianyang City, they occupied the granary of the Xianyang City garrison and increased the scale of the porridge distribution.
At the same time, a patrol team was dispatched to patrol the city to maintain law and order while promoting their reputation as a great Zhou. At this time, they had already won a lot of people's hearts.
During this period, the immigration plan was naturally promoted in Xianyang City.
However, immigrants here can not only choose to immigrate to Huangsha City, but also choose to immigrate to Black Rock City.
The biggest shortage of people at present is definitely Huangsha City, which needs to carry out large-scale construction and turn it into an industrial factory area. However, if Blackstone City wants to develop in the future, it will undoubtedly also need an injection of manpower.
At this time, some people may be wondering, since Black Rock City also needs manpower, why should the original population of Black Rock City be allowed to immigrate to Huangsha City?
But in fact, this is the core purpose of Zhou Xu’s operation!
That is to break up the original population of each city and reorganize it!
When these populations are all in their original places, they are more familiar with the environment and have higher cohesion, but it is relatively more troublesome to manage and more prone to accidents.
And if they are scattered into different cities for reorganization, this problem can be effectively solved.
No matter through the ages, it is the consensus of everyone to keep a low profile and be careful when going out, and not to cause trouble.
This is what Zhou Xu wants to take advantage of to strengthen his control over the new population.
Observing the situation in Xianyang City along the way, the group headed by Zhou Xu soon arrived at the palace.
At first glance, it seems that it is really well-built. There is also a high wall built around the palace. In terms of height, Zhou Xu's visual inspection shows that it is not too high compared to the walls of Xianyang City.
At this moment, this area has also been taken over by their soldiers.
As soon as they saw them coming, the gate of the palace opened quickly, and the journey could be said to be smooth.
