Sheng Fu

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, some famous people from the north and south are already on their way to the imperial capital, admiring the snow scenery along the way. Occasionally, some kind-hearted people will open porridge to the poor along the way.

Since Yu Wenjun visited Qiushui County once, he attracted many wealthy children to follow suit. They brought enough food, oil, meat, gold, silver and money to visit poor families.

Even if it was not sincere, but just wanted to gain a good reputation, it still solved the urgent need for many people who lived in hardship, and some gentry and local tyrants even took the initiative to help the poor folks.

In the world of great controversy, the previous golden rules have long lost their original restraint.

Leaving aside the aristocratic families with local influence, especially the merchants with rich family backgrounds, what they fear most is that the common people hate the rich. Once a person reaches a desperate situation, his instinct will be aroused.

It is true that in troubled times, the momentum of internal affairs is obviously to appease the hearts of the people, so that the common people can contribute their meager efforts to the great affairs of the family and the country, such as building city defense fortifications, such as handing in public grain to the granary.

As long as the population is prosperous, there will always be room for action in matters of internal affairs, but if there are no people, everything will be as deserted as this winter. In many things, they joined forces to embarrass local merchants and the like.

Some people are usually silent and unknown, but when there is a storm, they will always become a blockbuster in a short period of time and become the leader in the hearts of many people. In a world of great controversy, everyone must deal well with the common people, otherwise, if they are careless, It's an inevitable end.

However, the story about Yu Wenjun still hasn't stopped. In the top restaurants in the north and south, there will be one or two highly respected storytellers, who will publicize Yu Wenjun's deeds.

I don't know how many people brought clothes and food into Qiushui County during this new year.

Even if some people in Qiushui County are fairly well-off, they have received a lot of gifts, such as some silver, some grain, oil and meat, but most of the people who go to Qiushui County are young sons with a little family background, in order to get a Fame, even this reputation is not necessary at all, but they will go anyway.

Because it was the head of the Eight Gus who went to Qiushui County, anyone with some knowledge was keenly aware that a large Hengchang Academy was about to appear in Qiushui County.

Now the northern and southern aristocratic families still hate Yu Wenjun and Gu Yong deeply.

But in the world of great struggle, Yu Wenjun has dragon masters under his command, there are generals like Zhang Benchu, and there are descendants of the empress guarding Beihai.

Not long ago, he made great achievements in killing five Protoss Promise experts. Perhaps, in one or two years, there will be a fork in the road of the times.

People don't know what the fork in the road of that era will be like, but they know very well that it is most beneficial to buy people's hearts when they are suffering the most.

This is the case with sending charcoal in the snow, some are sincere and some are false, but Mr. Yu Wen thinks that as long as it is useful, at least the common people can really get a lot of benefits.

Even if it is difficult to solve the problem from the root cause with the current trend of following the trend, a candle can still illuminate a corner.

There is no profit, and everyone looks stupid in the mediocre days.

At the slightest movement, the fish in the depths of the water will swarm out.

The imperial capital, the streets and alleys, have returned to the bustle of previous years, with the laughter of children, the shouting of booths, and many dignitaries entering and leaving restaurants and brothels.

It seems that everything is the same as before.

In Bai Xiaowei's mansion, a young man came.

On the tea table, there was a pot of red, Bai Xiaowei took the main seat, and Fucheng sat opposite Bai Xiaowei.

The young His Royal Highness the Northern King faced the real power of the Deputy Prime Minister without the slightest fear, his expression was indifferent, and he was kind.

Bai Xiaowei poured a cup of tea for the Northern King, and said softly, "I know all about it. In the Helian family's mansion, you beat those stubborn old bones in the north hard and soft."

"This achievement will not be recorded for you, but His Majesty will remember it in his heart."

"After this incident, you are a well-deserved King of the North."

Fu Cheng lowered his head slightly, if Xie Yiming was sitting here, there was no need to bow his head to Bai Xiaowei.

The king of the south is real, but the king of the north is more or less fake at present.

"Nowadays, the fortunes of the country are fluctuating, and everything depends on the strategizing of the adults. I just contribute a little bit of strength to do things for the human race, and I am willing to do things for the human race." Fucheng responded slowly.

Bai Xiaowei rested his chin on one hand with great interest, his eyes were a little tentative, and he said with a smile: "Mandarin is not bad, at least it sounds pleasant to the ear, although I have never seen your demeanor when you participated in the Banquet of the Eight Gus, but in my eyes In my impression, you were once a high-spirited young man, and your sword was also very sharp."

"If you didn't have Yu Wenjun's odd number, maybe you would become the leader of the Eight Gus."

"Now, there is a trace of twilight on my body."

Bai Xiaowei is a politician as well as a swordsman. When he was a politician, he never forgot that he was a swordsman.

Fucheng responded calmly: "Ba Gu's Banquet, it is said that it happened many years ago, my lord is really good at joking."

"I deal with some old guys all day long. If I don't have a trace of old spirit in my body, then my realm is very high."

Bai Xiaowei thought about it, and changed the subject: "The families who bow to you include the Yunhan Yang family, the Ji family, and the Han family. In the future, you will use work as a substitute for relief. You can make these three families get some benefits. .”

Fu Cheng's heart sank, he thought that the Prime Minister would go straight to the point after a series of beatings, but he never thought that it would be so direct.

Really a maverick politician.

Fu Cheng immediately said: "The Gongsun family will not deal with me. In the past, because of Jing Hanqing's incident, the Gongsun family was ransacked once, but the centipede is dead but not stiff. They still have a lot of prestige in the north."

"In my opinion, we might as well give the Gongsun family some benefits."

"Even so, they may not remember my favor."

Bai Xiaowei raised his head slightly, and said with a subtle smile: "It's not bad, it can show your openness, it can also silence some people who oppose you, and it can also confuse the public. At least outsiders think that you are sincerely for the north. good."

Fu Cheng slightly accentuated his tone, and said, "I was really for the north."

Maybe he shouldn't emphasize his tone, the person in front of him is Bai Xiaowei, after many years, he will replace Pu Weiqing as the number one sword of the human race.

But this is Fucheng's attitude, with a clear conscience, naturally there is an awe-inspiring momentum.

Bai Xiaowei didn't care about this either. After all, he was the king of the North, maybe after a while, he would really be able to sit on an equal footing with him.

In Bai Xiaowei's heart, Fucheng's future achievements will surpass Xie Yiming sooner or later.

But that is a matter of the future after all. Right now, this young man needs to bow his head and behave in front of the Deputy Prime Minister.

Bai Xiaowei said: "You also brought the roster?"

Fucheng took out a list from his cuffs. Half of the northern aristocratic families on it opposed Fucheng, and half of them surrendered to Fucheng. Those who surrendered to Fucheng would naturally get more benefits. Those who opposed Fucheng, Naturally, it will be slightly less affordable.

Just looking at it roughly, Fucheng leveled a bowl of water.

Bai Xiaowei took the list, looked it over slightly and said: "I can't give them benefits according to your will, but I will also help you level the bowl of water according to the wish of this list."

Fu Cheng got up, bowed his hands to Bai Xiaowei, bowed deeply and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness."

Bai Xiaowei smiled knowingly and said: "The emperor is very beautiful and full of the taste of the New Year. Since you have come from a long way, you should go back to the post station to rest. On the night of the [-]th, don't let us down."

Fu Cheng bowed deeply again, and retreated slowly.

Such young people can enter Bai Xiaowei's eyes and gain more trust from Bai Xiaowei.

It's just that Bai Xiaowei feels a little regretful, he is like this at such a young age, and his future cultivation may encounter a bottleneck that is difficult to break through in this life.
