Gradually, the wealthy families in Jueping City began to "rebel". More and more people flocked to Baicaoxiang to buy perfume, and people gradually began to try cosmeceuticals and sunscreen. When people realized that this Dashun facial cream was better than the one made by the ancient Shu people, the shop next door no longer received business from the wealthy families. And how many ordinary people could afford the expensive facial cream? The young master was so worried that he almost set fire to Feng Yuheng's Baicaoxiang, but he was afraid of being caught and beaten to death. He was always entangled and almost died.
After all, people are not fools, and they can still distinguish what is good and what is bad. Rich families have money and only want good things, not silver. The so-called loyalty to Gu Shu is nothing more than the men's blood and the ulterior motives of some individuals. For women in the boudoir, Gu Shu and Da Shun are the same. They will be loyal to whichever one can make them live a better and more stable life. Of course, they also need to make their own business more prosperous and profitable.
Feng Yuheng was very proficient in this. Those wealthy families often came to buy things. After getting to know each other, she opened a back door for them. For example, they could take the "pass" she opened to go out of the city and go all the way to Lanzhou. They could bring Dashun's goods from Lanzhou to Jueping City to sell, or they could bring goods from Jueping City to Lanzhou. Moreover, with the pass she opened personally, Lanzhou would also provide certain support and help.
She quickly won the hearts of the rich families and brainwashed them, saying, "You have to know the current situation. How much benefit can you get by following Gu Shu? You have lived in Jueping City for so many years, and your business is nothing more than what it is now. But since I opened a way out for you to develop your business to Dashun, how much have you earned in these days? This is just a small part of Dashun in Lanzhou. Do you know how big Dashun is? Dashun is vast and rich in resources. Not to mention that it has everything you want, but everyone has to admit that the goods and resources are much richer than Gu Shu in the desert. Who would give up a good life and insist on living a hard life? ? Are there any of you who are engaged in the sand business? Don't you want to expand your business to Dashun? How many people in Dashun need to build houses? How can Gu Shu compare with them? In the final analysis, this war was first provoked by Gu Shu. As a vassal state, Gu Shu attacked Dashun even though it knew that its national strength and military power were not as good as Dashun. Have you ever thought about whether the king of Gu Shu cared about the lives of his people? We in Dashun can learn from Gu Shu's previous style and massacre the city, but we still leave you a glimmer of hope. You should think more about which master is better and which master you can follow to get more meat."
Her words were very attractive to the wealthy families in Jueping City. The reason why these people were able to get rich first was because they were more open-minded and thought further than ordinary people. They all knew that Feng Yuheng was right. The trade between them and Lanzhou in recent days had also made them taste the sweetness. Some people even saw that Shaping City was no longer the same as before under the governance of Dashun when they passed by. The people of Shaping also praised Dashun again and again.
As a result, people's minds became active, and before they knew it, the wealthy families in Jueping City had changed their initial obsession and began to support Dashun. This sentiment gradually expanded through their power, and those who were originally hostile to Dashun also changed under the leadership of the wealthy families.
Feng Yuheng's Baicaoxiang business was even better. People were no longer shy about going in and out of Baicaoxiang's main gate, and they were having a great time buying things. However, there were still some loyal supporters of Gu Shu in Jueping City who were determined not to bow to Dashun. They would sit in protest at the door of Baicaoxiang every day, and even occasionally shouted slogans, calling those who supported Dashun traitors.
However, what happened on this day made this last group of people lose all confidence in ancient Shu.
The cause was a middle-aged couple kneeling at the door of Baicaoxiang, crying and begging Feng Yuheng to cure their daughter. The two of them knelt at the door and kept following Huang Quan who came out to receive them and said, "We heard that Princess Ji'an of Dashun is a miracle doctor. Although it's hard to ask for this, we beg the princess to save our daughter for the sake of her life after all!"
Huang Quan was puzzled: "What disease did your daughter have? Isn't there a clinic in Jueping City? And it's a clinic run by the ancient Shu people. You should go to them for help. Your shop doesn't sell anything to us, why do you want our princess to treat her illness? Have you ever heard of a princess treating the people? Did your princess of ancient Shu do this?"
The couple was speechless. Yes, she was a princess, a royal family. Why did they ask a princess of a country to treat their daughter? A princess of ancient Shu? The royal family of ancient Shu would not even look at the common people, so how could they treat them?
At this time, someone who came to make trouble nearby said, "Didn't they say that your princess also treated the common people in Dashun? Why can't she treat our common people?"
Huang Quan snorted coldly: "Can the person who said this have some shame? The people of Dashun are our own people of Dashun. Let alone the princess, even if they ask the emperor for help, the emperor will not ignore it. But listen to me carefully, they are our own people of Dashun! Don't you deny that you are the people of Dashun? Aren't you still clamoring that you are the people of ancient Shu? Don't you come here every day to sit and make trouble, and yell at us to get out? Why do you want our princess to save you, the people of ancient Shu? No! I won't save you even if I can!" Huang Quan got angry and flicked his sleeves and went back to the store.
Wangchuan stayed, looked at the couple and said, "Although it's not nice to hear, it's true. You slapped someone, and now you want them to help you. Where in the world are there such fools?" She said, and then looked at the kneeling man and said, "If I remember correctly, you were among the people who came to make trouble yesterday, right? Why did you change your position today? Go back! Find an ancient Shu clinic to treat your daughter. Our princess can't control the affairs of the ancient Shu people."
The couple was dumbfounded, kneeling there not knowing what to do. If the clinic of Gu Shu could cure it, why would they come to Baicaoxiang to beg the Princess Ji'an! The woman was angry, she stood up and yelled at her husband: "I told you not to follow them to make trouble, but you insisted on coming! So what if you are from Gu Shu? What kind of life have we lived these years? Did Gu Shu give you money or a house? The court is not good to the people, but the taxes are increased year after year. The profit at the end of the year is not enough to pay the taxes. Tell me, what is the point of being a Gu Shu? My daughter just went out to buy a piece of floral cloth, and she was kidnapped by the general's men. The good girl was thrown into the red tent to serve as a military prostitute. If the Gu Shu army had not been driven away by Dashun, our daughter would have died in the red tent. Tell me, what's the point of being loyal to Gu Shu?"
The woman got angry and simply exposed all the dirty deeds done by the ancient Shu army to these troublemakers - "Do you know? There are more than one decent girls caught in the red tent. There are at least twenty girls in Jueping City! Some of these girls ran away, and some died in the red tent. You -" She suddenly pointed at one of the people sitting on the small bench and said, "Do you really think that your daughter was taken as a concubine by the general? Not at all! My daughter said that your daughter was also sent to the red tent, and it was the kind of red tent that served ordinary soldiers. She couldn't even see the general! Three days, she was tortured to death by the soldiers just three days after being caught. Do you know all this? You still have the nerve to follow these people to make trouble? And you still have the nerve to shout that you support ancient Shu?"
Her words confused everyone, especially the one who was being scolded. He was completely dumbfounded. He clearly remembered that an ancient Shu soldier came to report that his daughter was chosen by the general and married as a concubine. When the army withdrew this time, the general took his daughter to Yueping City! How...
"Is what you said true?" Someone felt the seriousness of the matter and asked, "Were there really so many girls who were taken away and sent to the Red Tent?"
The woman nodded: "Every word is true! And I tell you, all the girls who ran away are sick. Everyone in the family knows what happened, but who has the nerve to spread this kind of thing and this kind of illness everywhere? Who has the nerve to ask a doctor for treatment? I have been hesitating for many days at home, and today I really can't bear to see my daughter suffer, so I came to ask Princess Ji'an for help. But you guys are making such a fuss, and you keep saying you want to drive Dashun out, but people don't even treat my daughter!" As she spoke, she started to sob again, and while crying, she cursed her husband, and even cursed all those who excluded Dashun.
The crowd was talking, and someone remembered something: "Since the general's army entered Jueping City, we heard that many women have gone missing. They are all girls from ordinary families, and they are quite pretty."
"Then the family didn't go looking for him?"
"What can we do if we look for it? We can't get into the military camp, and we can't find it outside."
"Yes, I have also heard that their daughter was chosen to serve the general as a concubine, and it seems that the family also received a sum of money."
"What a bullshit!" The man whose daughter was captured as a concubine finally came to his senses and stamped his feet. "It's just five taels of silver, and the child's mother even had a fight with me because of this. If it's really like what this elder sister said, I... How can I be worthy of my dead daughter!"
As the man cried bitterly, the last group of "loyal" people in ancient Shu began to change their minds amid such scolding. Some people were planning to go and see those girls. If they were real, they would no longer recognize themselves as ancient Shu people. They couldn't afford to lose face! However, some people with ulterior motives mixed in with them. Their purpose was to instigate the masses to make trouble and create difficulties for Dashun to take over ancient Shu. At this moment, when these people with ulterior motives saw that the people were attracted by the girls' affairs, they didn't want to stay any longer, so they carried their small stools and prepared to evacuate.
At this time, a clear female voice was heard from the Baicaoxiang shop. With just one sentence, those who were preparing to evacuate were startled - "Want to leave after causing trouble? Who indulged you in those bad habits?"
