Chapter 1246 Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang
"Your Excellency is finally here, and the people of Feiying County can be saved!"
Seeing Zhou Quantong's arrival, the magistrate of Feiying County seemed very excited.
"Is the food shortage in this city so severe?"
Seeing the Feiying County Magistrate being so excited, Zhou Quantong couldn't help but have a look of confusion on his face.
Although spring planting was delayed due to the war, it doesn't mean that we won't be able to survive this spring, right?
Even if the spring planting is not delayed, you still have to wait until the autumn harvest to get a harvest, which is such a long time!
"Your Majesty, you don't know something! In the past few days, some people have been spreading rumors and causing trouble in the city, saying that the court will not care about us and that the food will be given to the army.
The officials arrested batch after batch of those who spread rumors!
But not only did it not stop the rumors, it actually made them worse!"
The magistrate of Feiying County said as if he was complaining endlessly.
"That's nonsense! They are all my subjects, the Wei Dynasty. How can we ignore them?"
Being called out by the magistrate of Feiying County, one after another, Zhou Quantong said in an awe-inspiring manner.
In my heart, I couldn't help but feel happy: when I stayed in the royal city, I was just a seventh-grade official, and anyone could overpower me.
When he got outside, even the county magistrate had to call him "sir", what a cool word!
"Xiaguan told the people the same thing, but the people didn't believe him at all!
In these years of war and chaos, with various forces doing whatever they want, the people's trust in the court has dropped to a freezing point.
If you want to gain the trust of the people, you have to take out the food and distribute it to the people!
Only then will the common people trust the court and believe that the court will take care of them!"
The magistrate of Feiying County looked at the grain behind Zhou Quantong and said eagerly.
Why does he, the magistrate of Feiying County, have such a low profile?
Isn’t it just those grains?
"This...without the Grand Master's order, this food cannot be distributed for the time being!"
Zhou Quantong said with some embarrassment.
"When this food arrives, isn't it just for distribution to the people? If we wait any longer, there may be a civil uprising in the city!
By then, you and I will never be able to get rid of each other!"
Seeing that Zhou Quantong was not prepared to distribute food immediately, the magistrate of Feiying County immediately spread his hands and said.
"this……"
When he heard that there might be a civil uprising, Zhou Quantong immediately panicked!
When he took this job, he originally just wanted to show off his qualifications!
After all, this is the territory of the Wei Dynasty, and Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, is in charge, so what surprises can happen?
"Distribute food in advance to avoid a civil uprising!
Even if the Grand Master knew about this, he would only think that you know how to adapt and are a capable person!
If anything happens in the future, will I still be able to think of you?"
Seeing that Zhou Quantong was still hesitating, Magistrate Feiying had no choice but to deceive him from another angle.
He doesn’t have any bad intentions!
As he said, there were rumors circulating in the city, and he just wanted to break the rumors with food!
In the past few days, he has arrested many people who spread rumors, and the county jail can hardly hold them!
"Yes! With Master Ether's character, if he knew that I saved all the people from fire and water, he probably wouldn't blame me!"
Zhou Quantong nodded and said to himself.
Obviously, he has been persuaded!
"Not only will no one blame you! The people of Feiying County will also build a shrine for you so that you can be remembered forever!"
Seeing that Zhou Quantong had been persuaded by him, Magistrate Feiying continued to lie.
"Done!"
"Ahem... I don't want to build a shrine for any reason. I just don't want to starve the people or even trigger a civil uprising!"
After hearing that the Zaosheng Temple would be famous forever, Zhou Quantong gritted his teeth and agreed. Then he felt that he seemed a little too explicit, so he coughed twice and explained.
"Natural! Natural!"
Magistrate Feiying said with a smile.
…
In this way, the two of them together planned to start distributing food at eight locations in the county government at the same time.
As soon as the news spread, the entire Feiying County was in a state of excitement!
Finally there is food!
Gao Yingxiang, who also received the news, immediately couldn't sit still!
That day, thirty-six battalions were established, and he was the leader of one of them. He also gave himself a resounding nickname - King Chuang!
According to the agreement, each person will either go to the city of Hanzhong County to incite rebellion or annex the bandits to form a team.
Most of them chose to annex the bandits in Hanzhong County, or go to some small towns or even villages to incite rebellion, which was relatively easy.
Gao Yingxiang is the more ambitious one among them. In his opinion, if he wants to do something, he should do something big, and he will starve the bold to death and starve the timid to death.
So, he chose a big city like Flying Eagle City.
Everything was going smoothly until today when the food arrived in Flying Eagle City.
Originally, Gao Yingxiang was planning to lead a large fire at night to burn all the food!
But what he didn't expect was that these officials didn't play by the rules.
As soon as the food arrives, it is ready to be distributed to the people!
If the people have food in their hands, how can they listen to his deception and rebel?
"King Chuang! We have no choice now, let's start a rebellion! Kill those officials, coerce the people and steal all the food!"
Li Zicheng suggested from the side.
As a member of the 36th Battalion who had just joined, he had not yet obtained the position of leader, but followed Gao Yingxiang as usual in history.
"It's too hasty to start an incident now! With just a few of us, I'm afraid we are no match for the county soldiers!"
Gao Yingxiang was a little hesitant.
Although he looked down upon the county soldiers in Feiying County, there were really many of them.
"As long as we can open up the county government's weapons arsenal, everyone in the city will be armed.
By then, are you still afraid that you won't be able to defeat the county soldiers?
What's more, it's not like we don't have allies!"
Li Zicheng took out a map of Feiying City, pointed to the location of the county government weapons depot, and finally said something meaningful.
"Allies? Since when did we have this thing? Why didn't I know?"
Hearing what Li Zicheng said, Gao Yingxiang looked confused.
"There is a stranger in the city named Mo Qianqiu, who says he is willing to cooperate with us!
After this is accomplished, it will be enough to become the leader of one of our thirty-six battalions!"
Li Zicheng introduced.
"How can you agree to this casually? The leaders of the thirty-sixth battalion already have people!"
Hearing this, Gao Yingxiang's face kept changing and became a little gloomy.
"Of course, my subordinate did not agree to this, but told him that he would report it to King Chuang first, and it would be up to you, King Chuang, to make the decision!
By the way, he also said: If he can become one of the leaders of the thirty-sixth battalion, he will only follow King Chuang's lead!"
Li Zicheng lowered his head and said with a meek look.
"That's it... That's not impossible to consider. After all, the leaders of the thirty-sixth battalion are just preliminary, and some of them may die at some point!
By the way, what is the power of this stranger?"
Chapter completed!
