Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1045

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 walk 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.

"Collection of wool?"

"What does the government need wool for?"

"Could it be a code word, saying it's wool, but actually it's our sheep?"

"Hey, how can that be done! That is our lifeblood!"

……

The people instantly became confused. They believed the Beiyan officers and soldiers who said they would not harm them, but within a few days, they were about to snatch away their sheep. This was even more unacceptable than killing them directly.

"Look carefully and see what they are yelling about!"

The soldiers guarding the notice were a little angry and didn't want these people to misunderstand their wife, so they shouted for everyone to quiet down.

"What our wife wants is wool. This wool is of no use to you. You can go back, cut it off, clean it, and bring it to the Yamen in exchange for money. Our wife will not ask for your things in vain!"

The soldier had a loud voice, and he was wearing a wool sweater. Naturally, he knew that wool could be of great use, and he didn't want these people to misunderstand and delay the lady's business.

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 when the soldiers in the city had no food before, they went from house to house asking them to give up their food. Fortunately, they were used to frugality and the family survived with a little food. Otherwise, they would still be alive today. ?
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 the 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 was their turn. Beiyan not only refused to retaliate, but also gave 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 the sheep will die if they shear too many, so they just cut as many as they can afford to get by.

However, when the wool was delivered to the Yamen, there were actually officers and soldiers weighing it at the door and then paying according to the kilogram!

Several large baskets around him 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 being paid, 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! We will also need to collect goat milk after a while. We will put up notices, and those who have goods at home can send them to designated places for sale, and we will pay and deliver the goods, and 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 are soldiers beside them who are introducing: "These two are the wives of our General Lu and General Qin respectively. What they say is absolutely valid! From now on, you will all be our subjects of Beiyan. Our wife is willing to take you to make money together and spend your days together." Have 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 soldier. Jiang Jiuniang has never explained these things. He just stands in the crowd and repeats these words over and over again, making these people 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 that they can stay with them in time.

She accepted this young soldier who would paint big cakes 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 were squeezed by the local government. But now the people from Beiyan give them money as soon as they come and say they will bring them with them. They make money and try to have a good year next year.

Who wouldn’t be moved by this change?

The 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 those in distress. They didn’t know who was leading the way, so they knelt down in front of them, kowtowed and shouted loudly. Said: "Thank you madam, we are willing to be Beiyan people, please protect me madam!"

"I am willing to be a Beiyan person!"

"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, the Dongting officers and soldiers didn't even think of taking them with them when they evacuated. 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 Sister Tianjiu is not worried about the wool shortage at all. It turns out that she wants to come here to collect it.

More importantly, 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, solve the urgent need in the workshop, but also appease these people. The mood of the people shows that 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 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 Jiu Niang 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 am also very happy. We will continue to sell wool to you in the future." A lot of wool is needed. If you have the conditions, you can raise more sheep and you can make more money."

After finishing talking about the important things, she personally stepped forward to help an old woman not far away and said, "Everyone, get up quickly. There is still snow on the ground. Don't freeze your body."

Once this happened, he gained enough goodwill and made the people burst into tears of gratitude.
