Chapter 151 Seeing the Suffering of the People

People who knelt all night and had no resentment woke up and realized that the things they risked their lives to get back were turned into food and cloth by Junci's big hand, and they wanted to rescue the people around them. Their faces were full of colors. indignant.

"The general's words are military orders." Wu Zheng had a panoramic view of their reactions, "Yesterday, you were the ones who were impulsive and reckless. If the general hadn't sent me to help you, would you still be alive to enjoy the money? And the general has already left it for you. Some, don’t be greedy.”

Wu Zheng's words made them restrain their emotions, but they still didn't want to, and they still had to follow Wu Zheng to take out the money.

In the attic, Zhao Chun saw this scene and couldn't help but ask, "Why did the general want to disperse all this money?"

This is not a small amount of money, even if Zhao Chun did not participate, it would be a pity that he would not get any benefits.

Junci said that people's money cannot be embezzled, but the money was obviously stolen from bandits, and it was regarded as a spoil of war.

"Winds of fortune are easy to come by, but people's hearts will be unstable." Junci said slowly.

Zhao Chun followed her gaze and looked at the other soldiers, all of them looked gloating, and suddenly realized.

As a group of them, if a few people get the sweetness and suddenly become rich, then they encounter bandits later on, I am afraid that everyone will scramble for such an opportunity to make a fortune.

"The general will be educated." Zhao Chun respected him in awe.

He also thought that Jun Ci was to teach these people a lesson in privately chasing bandits, or to gain a good name for the Central Guard Army.

It turns out that what Jun Ci has always cared about is to unite people's hearts.

"You have to remember that as a general, the military spirit is the most important thing. An unstable military spirit is the root of breaking the army." Jun Ci deliberately pointed Zhao Chun.

This time she brought both Zhao Chun and Wu Zheng, both of whom have their own strengths and are malleable talents.

"Keep it in mind at the end." Zhao Chun replied solemnly.

Although Zhao Chun is a bit cunning, sometimes not upright enough, and knows how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, Junci values ​​his tact very much, so he can't help but say a few more words: "Don't worry, they will be aggrieved when they go, and they will be happy when they return."

These words made Zhao Chun a little confused, how could he be happy after going there?

He also trusts Jun Ci's words very much. He doesn't know when, Jun Ci's words have reached the point of no doubt for him.

Zhao Chun stayed here until sunset, when these people came back, and they were all smiling. He was very curious, and went to Wu Zheng who had rubbed each other's medicinal baths several times and asked, "Why are they so happy? Mingming at noon Still not angry."

Wu Zheng turned his head and looked at them and ran towards other soldiers who were familiar with him, and began to brag, laughing like fools, and couldn't help feeling disgusted: "Most of the villages selected by the general can't be uncovered, and when it comes to poor people who want to sell their sons and daughters. place.

We transported food and cloth, saying that we passed by here and robbed ill-gotten wealth from the bandits, and these people knelt down and kowtowed, only treating us as living Bodhisattvas..."

Wu Zheng was also filled with emotions. He was born in a noble family and had never seen refugees. Even if Zhou Rong killed two thousand bureaucrats in the capital, he was not affected. .

It's just a little food, a piece of cloth that is only enough to make a suit of clothes, they are very grateful, and even want to give them vegetables, eggs, and fruits that are treasured at home, making them like reborn parents, which is very embarrassing.

No one has ever experienced such gratitude and praise. I don't know where to throw the depression in my heart. I'm afraid few people still remember their reluctance at noon.

Zhao Chun was slightly dazed after hearing this.

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Zheng poked him with his elbow, very puzzled by his reaction.

"When you left, I asked the general..." Zhao Chun told Wu Zheng what he had said about his resignation with the king.

Wu Zheng was also silent, and after a while he sighed in a complicated mood: "The general has seen the suffering of the people."

This made Zhao Chun feel a little embarrassed. After all, he was also born in poverty, but he was not so poor that he longed to be given alms by others, and cried bitterly when he gave others a little, so he didn't think of this level.

It was even more impossible for Wu Zheng, and today he was able to see a big scene.

Suddenly, he felt ashamed of his past profligate behaviors of ignoring ordinary people.

When they came back, Wu Zheng would naturally go to Xun Junci to report the letter. After the report was over, he said, "General, the place we went to was really poor and destitute. There was even a village that... exchanged children for food."

Zhao Chun, who came with him, gasped.

After seeing Jun Ci's reaction, Wu Zheng continued, "Does the chief officer here not care?"

"Maybe I care, but I'm powerless; maybe I don't care, I'm wise and safe." Junci was flipping through some pictures, which were drawn by Wu Blacksmith about the crossbows made by crossbowmen. Junci asked him to think about whether he could do it more than once. After firing a few arrows, she was thinking about it herself, and she raised her head, her phoenix eyes were deep, "What's more, officials and gangsters colluded to fish and meat the common people."

These words penetrated deeply into the hearts of Wu Zheng and Zhao Chun.

They joined the military camp early, even though they were ignorant and wasting their time, but they had never experienced such darkness.

Especially Wu Zheng, he was once also under the influence of the dudes of the capital, and he was fierce and fierce, relying on his status to disregard the poor and lowly, but he never took any action to plunder and oppress them in the past.

Wu Zheng turned around to go out, seeing his angry look, Zhao Chun subconsciously stopped him.

Junci's voice sounded immediately: "Where are you going?"

"Go and check, if it's true, I..."

"The county magistrate here is the son of the prefect of Hengnong County, and the prefect of Hengnong County belongs to the Zhou family." Junci interrupted Wu Zheng, "So what if you find out? Can you kill the county magistrate, can you kill the prefect? Even if you can really kill them, can you leave no trace? If not, can your Wu family afford Zhou's counterattack?"

Every word and every word of Junci made Wu Zheng clenched his fists tightly, but his footsteps were welded to the ground. His eyes were red: "Should we also turn a blind eye?"

"We can only do this today." Junci was very calm and indifferent, "If you want to keep the building from falling, you must first remove the moths from the beams."

This is the cruel reality. He has seen the darkness of the world, he has seen the weak and dying, and he has a heart to help justice, but he has so little manpower that he cannot use it.

"If you want to bring more clarity to this world, you must have more powerful abilities." Jun Ci continued to study the blueprints, "I hope you will see injustice in the future, and there will be fewer and fewer people who cannot make up for it."

Wu Zheng clenched his fists and said loudly, "I will!"

　good night, see you tomorrow.
