I, the King is a killer

Leng Feng walked into the hall.

Flop down on one knee.

Then he said in a loud voice, "minister, see your majesty!"

His majesty nodded and said, "people say you know more about the northern expedition. Tell me what it is?"

Leng Feng first turned his head and looked at Hai Borui, then smiled bitterly.

Then he took a deep breath and said to his majesty, "Your Majesty, do you speak slowly or briefly?"

His majesty sighed: "then he slowly talked about me and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. There is plenty of time."

Leng Feng nodded.

Then he slowly told the story of the northern expedition.

The matter ahead is similar to what your majesty knows now.

The Northern Expedition army took the Northern Wei Dynasty by surprise.

We got off to a successful start.

It is of great significance to pull out several cities, especially the Xiongguan pass in Northern Xinjiang, which was occupied by the state of Qin.

For a moment, the original defense of the state of Qin has become today's offensive!

Your Majesty was excited when he heard this.

This is the best news I have heard in decades at the border.

His Majesty was even more excited to hear that all regions worked together to transport grain and soldiers and build a powerful pass stronger than ever before.

Even called directly good!

Of course, these are all the news he knows.

Then it comes to information he doesn't know.

It is also not mentioned in the war report.

That is the plunder of the Qin army!

Your majesty frowned as he listened.

The eyebrows of civil and military officials also frowned.

Although the state of Qin is not a state of Wenzong.

However, they do not like the fact that the people are still disturbed in the process of such aggression.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Leng Feng smiled bitterly and said, "the veteran general said that the art of war is to feed the war with war, and war is plunder. We always have to grab something. If not, the damage of the war to the state of Qin is too great. According to the current ability of the state of Qin, it is not enough to support the war, and even spend all his Majesty's old background. Therefore, we must rob, but robbing is not a bad thing. "

Li Guofu frowned, came out and said, "it's not a bad thing to rob? What do you mean? Even if you are a hero now, you are a villain in the world! "

Leng Feng shook his head slowly, and then said, "Lord Li's words are bad. Robbery is not to kill people, but even give them a chance to live."

"What does that mean?"

Li Guofu frowned and said, "you were not a cunning and eloquent person. How did you become like this now?"

Leng Feng sighed and said, "Lord Li, what kind of living state should the people on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty be?"

Li Guofu thought for a moment and said, "after all, what kind of state can it be?"

Leng Feng shook his head and said, "no, Lord Li, you are wrong. The people on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty are very different from those on the border of the state of Qin."

"Oh?"

Li Guofu sneered: "how to make a difference?"

Leng Feng said, "Lord Li, although the people on the border of the state of Qin expressly prohibit trading with the Northern Wei Dynasty, the smugglers are very huge and their income is very good, so the people on the border don't show so much hardship. Local officials often turn a blind eye, which also reduces a lot of trouble for the imperial court. As for the smuggled things, they are actually small-scale, and even many things appear in the capital market. The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not have such good luck. They had a poor attitude towards the border and were strict in control, but they didn't give anything. As we all know, the land in Northern Xinjiang was extremely barren. The people had to dig and eat in earth pits and were in a precarious situation. How many years did they need to save to save some savings, which they had to use for many things, Let the children study, learn skills, or marry, all out of these savings, and then... We take these savings... "

These words made the ministers shake their heads.

This is so cruel.

How cruel!

Where is this robbing other people's money? This is killing them!

Everyone present scoffed at Leng Feng.

Including your majesty.

Leng Feng smiled bitterly and said, "in fact, robbing them is really good for them. In their hearts, they are still people of the Northern Wei state, not people without jurisdiction at the border. In fact, they are the latter! So when we rob them, on the one hand, they will complain about us, on the other hand, they will also complain about the Northern Wei Dynasty. Why not come to save them? This hatred is even worse than our outsiders. "

"What kind of bandit theory are you?"

Li Guofu was angry.

But Leng Feng said tit for tat: "Lord Li, whether it's a robber's idea or not, is what the lower official said right or wrong?"

Li Guofu bit his teeth and said, "indeed, compared with you, they may complain more about the neglect of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Leng Feng nodded and said, "but at this time, the army of the state of Qin just robbed their things, but instead of raping, looting, fire prevention and killing, they built bridges and paved roads, and then let the caravan of the state of Qin come in to exchange with them. They don't use or can only sell things at very low prices, such as fur, some minerals, and even some beautiful stones, They all sold at a high price. With this money, they can immediately buy food, cloth, even cattle and horses. What do they think of the Qin Parliament? "

"This..."

Li Guofu was stunned.

Puzzled: "build bridges and pave roads? Trade? "

"Lord Li, not only that, but the most important thing is communication."

"Communication?"

"There are full-time caravans that pick up letters from one village at a fixed time. These letters can be sent to other villages through the caravan. As long as the name of the recipient and the general location can be written on the letter, those messengers can generally be found, even get a reply and send them back... Lord Li, you should never have seen some people in their 70s and 80s, Half a foot into the grave, the old man who looks down on life and death, listen to the appearance of tears when others read the letter? It's shocking! All the servants can't help crying together secretly. "

"Messenger? Send a letter to the villagers? "

Li Guofu frowned violently.

When I first heard about it, I didn't feel anything.

But if you put yourself in your shoes

Some people who are separated from other countries may not see each other for a lifetime, and they are afraid that they may not see each other again until they die.

Even a message should be extremely important to them.

He seems to have heard about it there.

Letters.

It looks like an ordinary piece of paper, but it involves two terrible functions.

The first is to let the people feel family affection.

This is very powerful!

On the other hand, if you use a country's culture in your letters, whether it's words or the people who deliver letters, the people will naturally be close to the people of that country.

This is a rather dark and noble means.

You can't tell what's wrong with it, but you can also see its strong layout.

Li Guofu was silent at this time.

He understood.

This kind of snatching is actually part of the whole process. The purpose is to buy people's hearts and turn the people there into the people of the state of Qin!

It must have been a success.

This means a lot!

Li Guofu nodded and said, "but even so, his reputation is always bad."

Leng Feng said with a bitter smile, "in the war between countries, reputation should always be on the winner's side, shouldn't it?"

"It's not unreasonable to say so, but the state of Qin needs to cherish its reputation."

Li Guofu said strongly.

Leng Feng said, "as long as it really became the northern Xinjiang road of the state of Qin, those people did not come under our coercion, but they took the initiative to break away from the Northern Wei Dynasty and pursue a better life and even freedom."
