Chapter II City Gate Hanging Gold

Kim Fu-eun's sister was carried back, and her clothes were as dirty as rags.~~~~~~The hair was covered with wine stains, and even some bits of vomit. She seemed to be snatched out of the wine tank and exuded a strong smell of alcohol.

Two bare thighs hung outside the stretcher. If the breasts covered with tooth marks were not still hanging together, everyone would have thought she was dead.

The drunkards don’t care about her nobility. In their eyes, this beautiful princess is no different from those singers. If there is a difference, it is because of her identity that she suffered even more humiliation than those singers.

Through the purge of the high-level officials, the Jin family dynasty had collapsed in the Great Royal City. No one cared about the Jin Fuen who was hiding in the palace. The monarch who could not protect his subjects would be ruthlessly abandoned. Even the harem servants began to look at the Jin Fuen family, and honor and dignity were no longer the fate of the Jin family.

Kim Ki-eun lives slutty and tenaciously. If he had to find a reason for immortality, it was that he still wanted to live. The most beloved little sister committed suicide on the day she woke up. No one stopped the humiliation she suffered was also a humiliation of the entire Kim family. Faced with her sister's toughness, Kim Ki-eun had the idea of ​​ending her life several times. But every time she was at the critical moment of life and death, she could not take action.

Live with humiliation and humility. With guilt for ancestors and apologies for fathers and brothers, sometimes living may be the greatest torment.

Yun Xiao didn't care about Jin Fu'en's life and death. For him, this person who betrayed his father, brother and clan and his ancestors had no meaning. Raising this pig-like creature, he helped him open the gate of the Great King City.

Those who betray others will eventually be betrayed by others. If this is true, let this poor guy taste the warmth and coldness of the world.

The swelling of universities has frozen the entire Dawang City, and the snow outside the city can be overwhelmed. Everyone in the city is home to winter, except for a path shoveled out by the firewood sellers. The Dawang City is almost isolated from the world.

Grabbing a handful of snow and kneading it into a snow ball, Yun Xiao took a breath and threw it out with all his strength. The snow ball passed through a distance of twenty or thirty meters in a parabola and fell to the ground. This result made Yun Xiao blush. Even the worst among the guards could easily throw a distance of fifty or sixty steps.

"Has the snow shoveling order been put down?" Yun Xiao let out a breath and turned around and said to Dai Yu.

"It's down, but the people are only concerned about cleaning the snow in front of their houses. Moreover, the snow that has been swept out is piled on the streets. Although the streets of Dawang City are wide, they cannot be left. You don't let the people kill indiscriminately, and the language is not clear, it is really difficult for the general to convey."

"Didn't your subordinates say there is any reward?" Yun Xiao wondered. Each person was 10 kilograms of rice for a day. The price was not low. How much food can you get after working hard in the field for a year? A girl's betrothal gift is only 300 kilograms of rice.

"I said it, but the people don't believe us. No one thinks we will pay them."

"Okay! I'll sweep away the snow in front of the door. I can't treat the people like the nobles. If we want to stay here, we must win people's hearts. Killing the nobles can shock people's hearts, but we cannot win them.

You don’t know. These hundreds of thousands of people are very important to us. Sometimes a county in the Han Dynasty only has more than 100,000 people. There is no shortage of food or land here. However, there is a shortage of people. If hundreds of thousands of people immigrate from the Han Dynasty, think about how big this move, the court will definitely block it completely.

Therefore, immigration can only take its time. The main reason is that we must rule the existing people here. With them, we will be supplemented by soldiers and generals recruited by the Han Dynasty. This is how we can ensure that we are armed in our hands. These indigenous people can only pay taxes obediently and become the laborers of the Yun family.

Remember to stand firmly and not use violence. First, let them believe what we said and the promises we made.

Someone erected a thick wooden stake at the north gate and posted a notice. Those who carried the wooden stake from the north gate to the south gate were rewarded with 200 kilograms of rice.”

"Marty, this wooden stake is so heavy." Dai Yu didn't understand why Yun Xiao did this.

"Don't you know the allusion of gold hanging in the pre-Qin city gate? I've asked you to read more books long ago. Forget it, let's get one hundred pounds. I believe that anyone with some physical strength can handle it."

The allusion of hanging gold at the city gate was a way that Shang Yang came up with to reform and improve the credibility of the government. Today Yun Xiao decided to follow his example. Anyway, the worst loss was just 200 kilograms of rice. The more it was in the treasury, and it would be fine to eat it for two years. This 200 kilograms of rice was considered poverty alleviation.

"No" Dai Yu walked out with suspicion, caught a man and asked what the city gate was hanging gold. But the group of people under him were all thicker and thicker than him, so it was quite difficult to find an educated person. Until the wooden stake reached the north gate, Dai Yu didn't find out what the city gate was hanging gold.

The Kuaiji guards loudly announced Yun Xiao's order to the people watching the fun. As long as anyone can carry this wooden stake that weighs more than 100 kilograms to the south gate, he can get a bounty of 200 kilograms of rice.

Dai Yu thought that Yun Xiao was doing this to help the poor. He was just over 100 kilograms. Although the journey was a bit long, it was not a problem for some strong people. In his mind, the people were bleeding from their heads to fight for this broken wooden stake. He even made some preparations to stop the riot.

But everything in front of him shocked him. The people under the city wall looked at Dai Yu like a fool. Their waiting and watching atmosphere was so strong that no one dared to come forward to fight. It seemed that Dai Yu's promise was like a gorgeous soap bubble, which would be shattered with just one poke. No one wanted to be the one who pokes the soap bubble. God knows what these Han people want to do. If they kill themselves in anger, it would be really unlucky.

There were so many generals killed in the square outside the palace gate. Those people usually talked about the same as the Great King City. But they were killed by these Han people as if they were killing chickens and dogs. If the Han people turned against each other, they would not be like stepping on an ant to death.

Dai Yu fell into confusion and came to a whole day. There were many people waiting and watching under the city, but no one came up to carry the wooden stake.

"How is it? Has anyone gone to carry that wooden stake?"

Yun Xiao paced in the conference hall with his hands behind his back, and saw Dai Yu walk in and ask softly.

"Go back to the Marquis. These people from the Great King City are all foolish. No one has come up to carry the wood all day today." Dai Yu said a little depressed. It was obviously a matter of taking advantage of others, and anyone could see that. But no one did it, which made Dai Yu puzzled.

"That's right. The people of Dawang City do not trust us. If you want others to believe in you, the process is long-term. But if you think of a way, you can shorten the time. If you send an order, you will double the bounty tomorrow. Who can carry this wooden stake and reward 400 kilograms of rice?"

"Marty!" Dai Yu thought Yun Xiao was simply crazy, and such a clear advantage even doubled the bounty.

"Yes, it means double the bounty. If no one comes to bear it tomorrow, then double it. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. I don't believe that the people in the Great King City can be unmoved by interests."

Dai Yu looked like he came to the clinic to check if the Marquis had a fever. Because he really couldn't explain Yun Xiao's absurd behavior. He just carved a rotten piece of wood for four hundred kilograms of rice. Dai Yu wanted to find someone to carry it himself, and the strength was very expensive. I'm afraid that it would take a few days to turn it over, so the rice would have to be pulled from a ox cart.

"Don't be skeptical, do as I said. If someone dares to come and carry the wooden stakes, then send the rice to him on the spot. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Dai Yu said mechanically, this was a completely subconscious reaction. In fact, he didn't understand at all. Usually, Yun Xiao would say "Go down." But Dai Yu waited for a long time but didn't wait for this sentence.

When he looked up, it turned out that Yun Xiao was looking at him with bright eyes.

"Do you really understand?" Yun Xiao asked in Dai Yu's eyes.

Dai Yu nodded and shook his head again. The expression on his face was even more exciting.

"Understand you mean you understand, and if you don't understand, you don't understand. When you go back and find someone to tell you the allusions of Shang Yang's reforms, you have long told you to read more. But you just don't listen. You are unparalleled in this swordsmanship. But you are only a few streets away from this knowledge. A general not only needs to be able to govern the army, but also needs to read more.

Sometimes knowledge is combat power, just like I invented an iron-tied crossbow, a recurved bow and a gunpowder that is unfavorable. These are the fundamental reason why we win battles and kill fewer people. You should also learn more. In the future, you will be alone. How can you achieve it simply by relying on courage?"

Dai Yu was a little ashamed and hurriedly bowed: "When I go back, I must study more and ask about the allusions of Shang Yang's reforms."

"Okay, go and have a rest. I'm exhausted after a day of work. I remember to bring the rice to the north gate tomorrow. You can see the real thing, which is more exciting."

"No" Dai Yu bowed down after showing his respects.

Early the next morning, Dai Yu ordered people to carry 400 kilograms of rice to the city tower. Last night, he inquired about a bunch of people. Finally, he found out the reforms of Shang Yang and the allusion of hanging gold at the city gate in the clinic. Shang Yang's method surprised Dai Yu. It turned out that the Marquis wanted to use other people's wisdom. No wonder the Marquis asked him to study more. It turned out that many good methods were recorded by the ancients. But people today didn't know it.

"The Marquis is telling you that the bounty will be doubled today. Who can carry this wooden stake and reward 400 kilograms of rice?"
