Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1303 The time is ripe, let’s get started
The rising sun shines on the earth.

In these early winter days, there is a rare warm sunshine.

But the north wind is a bit cold, and just this coolness makes some people feel biting to the bone.

In just a short while, things became more and more troublesome.

As if someone was pushing it deliberately, residents in the town came to watch.

And the statement that "the imperial court came for the money of the Jin Mansion" is also accepted by others.

The onlookers were convinced of this.

As a result, the garrison quickly became a target of public criticism.

A person's mood is unstable, like a plague infecting those around him.

Everyone in the crowd became restless.

Someone finally couldn't help it and cursed angrily:

"How can the imperial court act like this? Is there any royal law left?"

"The imperial court is the king's law. Is your question really ridiculous?"

Some people were so excited that their faces became ferocious:
"Even if that member of the Jin family was rich and unkind and behaved improperly, he would not have suffered such a disaster!"

"It seems that the so-called measures for businessmen to become officials are all fake. They are just a pretense to coax businessmen into willingly paying money!"

"The merchants who have no money to offer are all recorded in the imperial accounts! Now that the floods have receded and a large amount of money is needed for reconstruction, it is natural to take action against these merchants!"

Others were filled with anger and spoke with distorted facial features:
"The face of the imperial court is really ugly! In the past, excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes made us unable to hold our heads up, but now they are still trying their best to squeeze money from the rich!"

"Speaking of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there has been little harvest in Jiangbei this year. The imperial court has not yet issued a tax reduction policy. This is forcing everyone to die!"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the mood became more and more exciting.

Everyone is deliberately led to gradually develop hostile emotions.

"Is the imperial court crazy about money? Are you going to let people live?"

“Today it’s the Jin family, tomorrow it’ll be us!”

"Has the court ever cared about the life and death of the people? Why do we have to suffer such consequences?"

"why?"

"Why do we have to endure this unfair treatment!"

"..."

The people watching were all talking about anything.

But unknowingly, the topic was brought to Liu Yao again:

"What court! Who is the person in Jiangbei now? Even if you don't tell everyone, everyone knows! I'm afraid it was him who caused the whole thing."

"What you said makes sense. He was the one who asked the merchants to provide money to buy officials. Now he must be the one who orders the garrison to deal with the merchants!"

"The thief's intentions are clearly revealed, Jiangbei is going to be doomed..."

"After dealing with Jin Mansion, is he going to deal with others?"

"This person's scheming is too terrifying!"

"This person's money was accumulated by working hard and working hard. He just took it away. Aren't he afraid of retribution?"

"What kind of retribution? How can a person in his position care about the suffering of the people and the life and death of the people? After dealing with the businessmen, I'm afraid they will attack us!"

"..."

The public's anger was completely ignited.

The situation is out of control!

Some people pushed and pushed the soldiers desperately:

"How could you do this?!"

"How can you not care about our life or death?!"

"Is this the attitude of the court?"

"What have we done wrong to do this to us?"

"We must give us an explanation!"

"Yes! Give me an explanation! Otherwise today will never be over!" Most of the people, because of their short-sightedness, do not have too deep thoughts.

They are simple and ignorant.

They are the easiest to be fooled.

So no matter how a dynasty rises or falls, they are still those at the bottom who are struggling and suffering hardships.

Originally, there was no room for them to comment on the affairs of the imperial court.

But they were still easily aroused to anger, and they became crazy and indiscriminate in order to seize the benefits that could keep them alive.

They think they are defending their own interests, but in fact they are pawns driven to fool them.

But they were completely unaware of their situation.

Faced with this situation, the person in charge of the secret guard couldn't help but sigh:

"Master, these people are too stupid. Why do they believe everything others say? This has become a knife for someone with a heart."

Bai Mingwei looked very indifferent: "If you had ten taels of silver and someone else only took one, would you have a big reaction?"

The head of the secret guard shook his head: "My lord, I don't know how to do that."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "That's right. These people don't have ten taels of silver in their hands, only one penny. This money is the only way they can survive."

"When someone makes them feel that not only can they not keep their money, but others want more from them, can they not get confused?"

After a pause, Bai Mingwei continued:

“Rich people are like giant trees with intricate roots. Their roots are firmly rooted in the soil. No matter how violent the storm, they cannot touch their roots.”

"But the powerless people are like the weak grass. A stronger wind or a heavier rain can kill them."

"So the rich live confidently because they have the capital; but ordinary people live in fear, walking on thin ice, worrying about their livelihood at any time and working hard all their lives."

"In peaceful years, trees and grass live in peace and harmony; in turbulent years, the relationship between the poor and the rich is more complicated, with both hostility and dependence on each other."

Having said this, Bai Ming smiled slightly: "There are trees on the earth, but they cannot live without grass. The world is so complicated, but it is also endlessly lovable."

The person in charge of the secret guard couldn't help but fell silent when he heard this.

The look he looked at Bai Mingwei became particularly complicated.

Bai Mingwei asked him: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"

The person in charge lowered his head and said from the bottom of his heart: "The girl's ambition is beyond our reach."

What he praised was his mind, and what he praised was his layout.

But what convinced him was his attitude of treating rich and poor equally, understanding the struggles and pain of ordinary people, and not hating the rich.

It was this attitude that made him feel equal and respected.

It made him feel at ease in his heart as he had no place to go.

Of course Bai Mingwei understood the implication.

She smiled softly: "The ancients said, 'If you are poor, you can save yourself; if you are wealthy, you can help the world.' If ordinary people can protect themselves, they are already very powerful."

"Since I was born, I have never had to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Children of a family like us, who can take care of both, should do more."

If people in this world, after seeing clearly the ugly side of life, still live tenaciously and love this world.

Then, it must be a peaceful and prosperous age that she has never seen before.

I really hope I can witness that day with my own eyes.

At this moment, a secret guard approached.

Bai Ming asked quietly: "Have they all been arrested?"

The secret guard responded respectfully: "Master, those who are fueling the flames and adding fuel to the fire among the people have been brought under control."

Bai Mingwei nodded slightly: "Interrogate carefully and find out the masterminds behind them. Many of them have interests affected by the defeat of the Jin Mansion, but what I want to know most are the forces besides them."

The secret guard took the order and left: "Yes, Master!"

It turns out that while the troops were stationed in the open office to deal with the affairs of the Jin Mansion, Bai Mingwei and the secret guards were keeping an eye on the goings-on in the dark.

Those who provoked the anger of the people and caused the situation to get out of control have been controlled one by one.

Hearing the indignant accusations and looking at the chaotic crowd.

The corners of Bai Mingwei's lips raised high: "Tell me Seventh Brother that the time is ripe and let him start!"
