Chapter 293 Winning the Hearts of the People (Part 2)
When asking this question, Yun Luoxiao looked at Jiang Zhiluo deeply, and his voice trembled a little.
He couldn't believe it, it felt like a dream.
It feels a little unreal.
At this point, Jiang Zhiluo no longer needed to hide her identity.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Yun Luoxiao and said, "Brother Crown Prince, I am Qingluo!"
Yun Luoxiao's eyes suddenly turned red.
Yes, she is the only one in the world who calls him that.
Even the tone of voice is the same.
No wonder he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity about her when she first went to the academy.
It turned out to be her.
Good thing she's still alive!
So this is what she looks like when she grows up, still so smart and capable.
I didn't expect that she had also been in Beizhou.
Qiao Mengmeng kept coughing. Jiang Zhiluo took out a silver needle and pricked her a few times, and she fell asleep.
"It will be better if she gets some sleep."
Yun Luoxiao looked at Mengmeng distressedly and asked, "Are you really okay?"
Looking at the marks on her neck, endless murderous intent surged in his heart.
He will not let any of the Lu family or the emperor go.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Don't worry, it's okay. As for the scar on her neck, I'll apply some medicine to it and it won't leave any scars."
Yun Luoxiao actually had a lot of things he wanted to ask and say, but when the moment really came, he didn't know what to ask or say.
Just thinking, as long as she is alive.
It’s good to be alive.
Jiang Zhiluo listened to the sounds of fighting at the city gate and said, "Go and do your work first. We can talk about anything else after you're done."
"good."
Yun Luoxiao did not waste time. Now was the critical moment of the siege and he needed to take command.
I can only leave Qiao Mengmeng to her care for now.
…
Yun Luoxiao is naturally very capable, not to mention the counselors and generals under him. Especially Han Bingce, although he is young, he is a fierce general, and he really doesn't care about his life when fighting.
The city gate was breached that day.
Yun Luoxiao and his men occupied Jiangcheng at lightning speed.
A few days later, they occupied the entire Jiangzhou.
Yun Luoxiao was strict in his military discipline. He would not allow his soldiers to harm the civilians in the city as long as they surrendered.
It is also not allowed to use even a single needle or thread of the people.
Perhaps Yun Luoxiao has gained a good reputation among the people because of his success.
So after they entered the city, the people in the city were not afraid. They went out to buy vegetables and do what they usually did, and it did not affect them.
When the soldiers walked on the streets, they would always be considerate of the people, fearing that they would bump into the people in the city.
Half a month later, the entire Jiangzhou returned to order.
Everyone should do what they should do.
When the people in Jiangcheng went to the streets to buy vegetables with their baskets, they couldn't help but discuss it.
"Our Crown Prince is still the best."
"Of course not. He is the son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was the virtuous Crown Prince before, and now he is the virtuous Crown Grandson."
"After the Crown Prince occupied Jiangzhou, he immediately reduced our taxes. We no longer have to be exploited and forced to pay so much."
"Yes, and there's a notice posted. Although we can't read, I heard from the scholar that it says that if anyone in power abuses their power to bully others, they will be dealt with according to the new law. It says that they will support the common people."
"Not only that, they also raided several families that bullied others by taking advantage of their power. That Ding family killed many people before, and now they've all been killed. It's really a relief."
"That's right. Those people relied on their connections to disregard human life. Now they have been dealt with by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's right. Our Crown Prince is so kind. He even encourages us to reclaim wasteland. Once we register the reclaimed wasteland with the government, it becomes our own land. There's no tax on the grain we grow in the first two years, but even from the third year onwards, the tax rate is very low."
"We can grow enough food this way."
"That's right. Those who don't have land don't have to work hard outside to find work. They can reclaim wasteland and plant crops."
The people don’t care who is in power. They will support whoever can feed them and give them a stable and peaceful life.
Before, the emperor loved pleasure, the court was corrupt, officials protected each other, and constantly oppressed and exploited the people.
Everyone is angry but dares not speak out.
Taxes kept going up, and everyone was complaining.
But no matter how much they hate those in power, they dare not resist.
If you resist, you will be beaten to death.
If you ask even one more question, the yamen runners will start to intimidate and bully you.
They could only endure the grievances, tighten their belts, drink some wild vegetable rice soup every day, and be lucky to be able to survive.
There was a lot of anger accumulated in everyone's hearts.
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of Jiangzhou, their taxes have been greatly reduced.
As long as everyone works harder, we can not only have enough to eat, but also save more food.
The yamen runners and officials who had bullied others before were all dealt with by the crown prince.
They all went to watch when those people were beheaded.
It’s really satisfying to watch.
They also specifically took rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves to throw away.
Finally I can vent my anger.
So there is no need to ask, the one that everyone loves the most is the Crown Prince.
They supported the crown prince to become the emperor.
This is the most simple thought in the hearts of the people.
When Jiang Zhiluo took Qiao Mengmeng out shopping, she accidentally heard such a sound.
Qiao Mengmeng whispered, "Aunt, they are saying good things about Dad."
Ever since the Crown Prince regained his status, Qiao Mengmeng has been very sensible and no longer calls him "mother" or "father".
Someone wanted to correct the name, but the crown prince stopped them. Even if he ascended the throne, Mengmeng would still be his daughter.
He will give Mengmeng the title of princess.
No one had any objection to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's decision.
As for Jiang Zhiluo's identity, no one knows.
Yun Luoxiao did not disclose Jiang Zhiluo's identity to the public, which was also Jiang Zhiluo's intention.
Yun Luoxiao thought about it and was worried that it would bring danger to Jiang Zhiluo, so he did not disclose her identity as a daughter of the Wei family for the time being.
Of course, Jiang Zhiluo told Qiao Mengmeng in private.
So now Qiao Mengmeng calls her "Auntie" all the time.
Maybe because it was Jiang Zhiluo who saved her that day, she is now very dependent on Jiang Zhiluo.
After a few days of good recuperation, Qiao Mengmeng regained her spirits.
Seeing how sensible she was, Jiang Zhiluo felt sorry for her.
I was also afraid that she might have psychological trauma, so I took her out for a walk.
Come out and have some fun.
Although it is winter now, Jiangzhou is close to the south and is not very cold.
However, the two of them still went out wearing thick clothes.
Walking on the street, smelling the aroma of the snack stalls, Jiang Zhiluo asked: "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Qiao Mengmeng wanted to nod, but then she seemed to think of something and shook her head, saying, "Auntie, I had breakfast this morning. I'm not hungry and don't want to eat."
Although she was still young, she remembered that she once accidentally overheard a conversation between her father and the counselor uncle.
It seems that her father is a little short of money now, so she has to be sensible and not spend the money.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Qiao Mengmeng with a look in her eyes. A child's eyes can never lie.
I clearly wanted to eat, but I held back.
Really so sensible.
Jiang Zhiluo stepped forward and asked, "How much is this fried candy cake?"
"Young lady, these are six coins each."
Jiang Zhiluo took out twelve coins and said, "Buy two."
