One Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty: Receive Nansheng, Kill Anxi (32)

1620: Harvest Nansheng and Kill Anxi (Thirty-two) (Page 1/1)

Yan Lin could see clearly, and his guess was correct.

It's just that he didn't know that Jiang Pengji had found a way to increase the fertility of the land the year before last, and that Dou Xi, who was born in a farming family, was at the helm of improving agricultural fertility. The increase in production last year was not high, but it stopped the downward trend. Depending on the situation, production should recover somewhat this year.

As long as the cultivation can be continued, not only will the people in the rear have enough food, but the pressure on the frontline soldiers will be much less.

Even so, the fiscal expenditure was still in deficit, and Jiang Pengji had been subsidizing it from her private treasury to barely maintain the balance.

In order not to collapse in the later stage, it is necessary to fight local tyrants and search for property.

not only that……

Jiang Pengji also imitated her predecessors in the previous dynasty and did something even more outrageous.

She sent Lieutenant Mojin to search for the burials of other people's ancestral graves.

Of course, these things are done secretly.

Lieutenant Mojin also pretended to be an ordinary tomb robber and committed the crime, trying not to touch the funerary objects in the coffin.

Jiang Pengji has a very good reputation among the common people. She pretended to be innocent in front of the common people. She said that those robbery caves were left by the barbarians from the four tribes of the Southern Man, while she said that they were committed by wandering bandits. .

"She really dares to do it..."

Yang Tao was speechless, he had done such shameless things as stealing people's ancestral graves, and the key was to wash his reputation, this operation is too terrible.

The people in this session are too easy to be fooled. They always feel that manipulating public opinion is like playing games.

A prince who ordered to search for the dead and seize the living could turn into a white lotus flower.

This world is getting more and more magical.

"Speaking of..." Yan Lin said, "I think Wei Zixiao is more terrifying."

"Why?" Yang Tao didn't understand, "Wei Zixiao is the only gentleman I've ever seen who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Shaoyang, what's so scary?"

As bright and clean as frost, as a gentleman like jade, Yang Tao can't wait to put all the words he knows on Yan Linwei Ci.

Yan Lin sighed.

I can't bear to tell my best friend the truth.

Yang Tao didn't know at all that Wei Ci had single-handedly manipulated the people's remarks that turned black and white and secretly instigated common people to hate the rich and the nobles. Because Jiang Pengji never disturbed the people in wars, basically she built wherever she fought, and her reputation among the people has always been very good. On the contrary, most of the Nansheng gentry did nothing, and the common people had long complained about them. Part of the reason for the disaster of the southern barbarians is also due to the gentry taking power...

One side is Jiang Pengji, who brought them stability and protection, and the other side is the Nansheng nobles who oppressed and exploited them.

The latter has a negative and strong image in the eyes of the common people, but now he comes out crying and complains that his ancestral grave was stolen by Jiang Pengji, a shameless bastard... Let me ask, who will the common people trust more? No need to investigate and know to choose Jiang Pengji.

Just as the navy that Wei Ci secretly let out said—Gong Lanting has fought in the world for more than ten years. He has experienced countless battles. He has not even disturbed the people once for many years. The immoral thing of digging people's ancestral graves?

Impossible!

Seemingly reasonable rhetoric, people with poor logic will be fooled, let alone ninety-nine percent of the people who are illiterate.

"In short, you stay away from the right..." Yan Lin swallowed the words that blurted out, and changed his words, "Men and women stay away."

One kills, the other delivers a knife and is also in charge of cleaning up the crime scene, a couple group who planted and framed the victim.

hehe--

Can't afford to provoke.

Jiang Pengji is not only strong in force, but also in public opinion.

This loss, those unlucky Nansheng nobles will eat it if they don't eat it, they have no choice.

It took Yang Tao half a month to win half of the state, and the other battles were also very gratifying, with frequent success reports.

Because of this, Jiang Pengji ate several extra bowls of rice.

The battle is going so smoothly, in addition to its own strength, it is more of the passive resistance of the enemy.

When everyone heard that An Jing had raided the young and strong in the two states on the border of Nansheng, some people couldn't understand.

"An Duoxi is planning to break the jar?"

"Tsk, if it's really broken, why would they fight? Wouldn't it be easier to lead troops to surrender? It's probably because of some kind of conspiracy. I'm planning to wait for work." Some people see it confusedly, while others see it clearly. They have their own way. Thought, "Nansheng has been in war for the past ten years. The young and old are out of reach, and the people are also extremely poor. Instead of dispersing troops to defend the states, it is better to concentrate their troops to defend the richest and most easily defended land. Our army is During the expedition, it was difficult to supply supplies, but An Jing didn't have this concern..."

Jiang Pengji traveled thousands of miles to beat other people's houses, and had to bring her own dry food when she went out.

An Jing was sitting at the door of the house to defend himself, and when he was hungry, he turned to the kitchen to have a bite of pancakes.

It is self-evident who has more logistical advantages.

Everyone suspected that An Min's move was to fight a war of attrition with Jiang Pengji, and whoever couldn't hold on first would get the hell out.

What ordinary people can think of, Jiang Pengji naturally knows.

but--

She felt that things were not that simple.

Jiang Pengji and An Jing didn't know much about each other, but they also knew that this person did not give up easily, how could he retreat without a fight?

"...Unless there are other plans..."

Jiang Pengji stroked her hands a few times, her slender fingertips glowed transparent red.

It was already the middle of winter, and the winter in Nansheng was colder than that in Dongqing.

Dongqing's coldness is physical damage, no matter how cold it is, it is cold on the skin, Nansheng's coldness is magic damage, wet and cold penetrates into the bone.

This was Jiang Pengji's first winter in Nansheng.

She was a little uncomfortable, not to mention other soldiers and ordinary soldiers with weaker physiques.

The first winter snow came so suddenly that Jiang Pengji had to stop fighting.

With the help of this winter snow, Jiang Pengji also understood An Min's real intention.

"I've seen shameless ones, but I've never seen anything more shameless than An Jing..."

An Jing scavenged the young and old and the food, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled lack winter clothing and food. If they are ignored, how many people will die this winter. Jiang Pengji had to suspect that An Min wanted to use this method to speed up the consumption of Jiang Pengji's food.

An Jing can bear the infamy and disregard the life and death of the common people, but Jiang Pengji, who is quite well-known among the people, cannot.

Due to various reasons, Jiang Pengji had to temporarily stop her pace of going south to fight, waiting for the spring to fight again.

Of course, due to doubts about An Xing's character, there is no guarantee that this guy will not sneak up on him secretly, so he should be on guard.

"Fortunately, I was prepared."

Winter is not perfect without hot pot, and hot pot without chili is soulless.

Peppers in this era grew in wild places, and a small amount of peppers flowed into the Central Plains and were used as spices. Yan Lin was also from a noble family, and he had also played with spices before, so he knew the goods, so he didn't understand what Jiang Pengji meant by sending more than 20 cylinders of dried chilies.

Yan Lin speculated, "Although burning this thing has the effect of expelling the cold, but the smell is extremely strong and pungent, and the soldiers are afraid that they will not be used to it."

Yang Tao opened the secret report sent by Jiang Pengji with a strange expression.

"Liu Lanting said... this thing is boiled in water for drinking..."

Not only that, she also distributed a set of Wen Ding to each general.

Is this to encourage them to cook chili and eat hot pot in winter?
