Chapter 108: Honor in troubled times 76

When Xiao Yuan was holding a funeral for the old lady, the vanguard troops sent by Nanyi had already arrived at Yuechuan Prefecture.

These people pretended to be small vendors and other things and easily entered the Otsukawa Prefecture City.

They were scattered in the palace and began to make all kinds of rumors.

And, he also quietly brainwashed the people he had come into contact with.

For example, Wang San played a peddler who was selling goods from the streets and the goods he brought were cheaper and of good quality, so naturally many people bought them from him.

In addition, Wang San also brought some salt and sold it to the people in the city in private.

Some people were buying salt from Wang San, and Wang San pretended to be surprised and said, "Why are you so short of salt? No, I got this salt from Nanyi. I heard that the third master of Nanyi Mansion knew that Yuechuan was short of salt, but he transported several trucks of salt over there. He said that seeing the people of Yuechuan Mansion had a difficult life, these salts were sold at a low price, all of which were considered to be accumulating virtue. Why... the salt price here is still so high?"

He said this, and his companions said to those people: "Let me tell you, these wealthy officials and businessmen in Yuechuan Mansion are not a thing. As soon as the affordable salt transported from Nanyi enters Yuechuan, they ask them to rob them. You said that if they rob them, they can sell them to the people at a fair price, but they got them into their own private warehouses and took a little bit of takeout, and the price was still high. The salt from Yuechuan Mansion was lifted up. We came from Pingyang. The salt in Pingyang Mansion is much lower, and the government is also sending food. You... tsk, how do you live?"

Some people said to the people: "When will the government stop rebelling? Let me tell you, the sister of my second aunt's cousin's cousin's cousin's neighbor is a girl in the prefect's house. She overheard the prefect and the wealthy businessmen telling that the price will increase in the future. Not only salt, but also grain. No matter where the grain transported from, they will stop and send it to their private warehouses, and then sell it to you at a high price. They don't want you to live."

Some people told the people how good life was in the Southern Yi.

"Oh, you don't know that the salt in Nanyi is cheap. A copper plate is so big, enough for us to eat for half a month. The woman in our family just looks cheap and can add salt when cooking. It's really salty. Also, the roads built on Nanyi are so good, flat and smooth, and very clean. Mr. Xiao said that such a road must be built throughout Nanyi. Not only the city, but also all counties and towns below must have it. Even every village must have at least one main road. The taxes in our place are low. The government will pay for work. Look at my face, have you seen it? I was much thinner than you earlier. Since Mr. Xiao was in power, I have eaten full every day. I have been so fat after only a few months of raising it. My wife still despises me and urges me to lose weight."

"You don't know that our Nanyi is so fat now. Many of the wives in many families are as fat as a ball. They are yelling to lose weight and lose weight. But they eat so well. There is no way. I'm hungry for a day today. I'll eat it again tomorrow when I see something delicious."

The people of the Otsukawa Prefecture who are talking about this are envious and jealous.

Many people began to think privately, why is Mr. Xiao not in Yuechuan Mansion? If he was in Yuechuan Mansion, how good would the people in Yuechuan be? They also want to eat fat as a ball, they also want to have the woman who is just yelling to lose weight, and they also want to walk on the flat and smooth road.

After Xiao Yuan and other naval troops were scattered, it took not long before the people of Yuechuan Prefecture became more and more volatile.

This is just the power of the navy, and it is not considered a paparazzi yet.

Those paparazzi are even more seamless.

In a few days, there were two or three things about the magistrate's back house, what happened to the concubine of a wealthy business, which official went to the brothel, which official spent a lot of money in the brothel, and who fought with whom. Anyway, they asked them to find out and then spread it through the navy.

This made the people even more hateful.

They were almost starving to death, but those officials were still seeking fun.

Think about how hard the officials in the Southern Yi worked, how they ruled the people, and how honest the customs of the Southern Yi were, they hated those officials even more.

Then, there were also the navy chanting poems in front of them, such as the smell of flesh and flesh of the rich and the frozen bones on the road. These poems made the people both sad, sad and indignant.

The navy soldiers were provoking trouble everywhere, and the sparks were spread out one by one. After a month, they became a big fire in the terrible world.

At this time, the large army had quietly arrived near the Otsukawa Prefecture.

The large army contacted the navy troops on the Otsukawa Prefecture.

That night, the officials of the Yuechuan Prefecture and the wealthy businessmen were still eating as usual, and they slept hard with their arms around the concubine.

Secretly, the navy began to move.

They have developed many people from the Okigawa area here to join them.

They took these people to the granary of the city, and quietly took the soldiers guarding the gate to the end. They opened the granary and quickly started to transport the grain. After transporting the grain, they began to ignite the fire. In addition to the granary, the prefect's yamen and the backyards of several wealthy merchants also ignited the fire.

After the fire was a little, they began to shout with people: "It's amazing, it's a fire, it's a fire, come and put out the fire, the bad thing is going on, the granary is in trouble, isn't this a life-threatening person? Everyone hurry up, the backyard of the Zhang family is also on fire, everyone hurry up and grab some food in the chaos, otherwise they won't be able to survive."

When everyone saw that the granary was on fire, they were so anxious.

If the granary does not catch fire, everyone still has some hope. If they really can't get through, the government should also give some porridge.

But if all the food in the granary is burned, then you really don’t live.

When they reached this point, they were all red-eyed. They all took up weapons to grab wealthy families, granaries, salt, etc.

The people from Nanyi took advantage of the chaos to quietly open the city gate.

The large army of Nanyi entered Yuechuan Prefecture without any effort, and the prefect was woken up by someone. Dong Da had already brought troops in to surround the entire yamen.

As soon as the prefect woke up, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, and the knife was placed around his neck.

Dong Da and Li Chenshu quickly took control of the Yuechuan Mansion and sent someone to report to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan asked Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling to prepare for the troops and attack Pingyang with the people from Dong Da. Before the New Year, he completely took over the Yuechuan Prefecture and Pingyang Prefecture. He immediately owned the five prefectures, which occupied almost most of the territory south of the Yangtze River. In addition to a few chieftains in the southwest, it can be said that Xiao Yuan owned almost half of the land in the south of the Great Qi.
