Chapter 688: Starving People
Hearing the words sound so dangerous, Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help but worry about her father's safety.
No wonder her father wanted to go. This black market was in Darong Country, and the strong men of Darong Country would definitely go there. Then her father could kill people there to avenge himself without bearing any consequences.
However, anyone who could frame the War King must be quite powerful.
"My father... he just advanced to the ninth realm..."
Tan Tao said, "Little girl, what are you worried about? In the Zhongyuan Continent, there are only a few warriors who have reached the ninth level. If your father goes in, others will avoid him. I will even cling to him. Don't worry! Your father is not going there to fight. He said he is going to refine weapons. There must be a weapon master in there..."
Jiang Lianzhu forced a smile. Indeed, there was no point in worrying.
Her father should know his limits.
"good."
After chatting about family matters for a while, Jiang Lianzhu and his wife stood up to say goodbye.
After returning, Jiang Lianzhu found her father, the War King, again.
He was given some good things, such as medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, hemostatic drugs, etc., which can sometimes save lives. As for weapons, the War King has his own weapons that he has used for many years and has already got a feel for them. New weapons may not be as easy to use as his own, but he was still given a laser gun.
Taught him how to use it.
I didn't tell the War King the origin of the thing. I just asked him to keep it secret and that it's best not to take it out and let outsiders see it under normal circumstances.
Use it when saving lives.
Although King Rao Zhan was knowledgeable and experienced, he had never seen a laser gun and was greatly surprised.
It’s so powerful!
It works so well!
"My dear, when you killed the dragon snake monster last time, did you use this kind of technological weapon?"
Jiang Lianzhu nodded. "This weapon needs to be recharged. If Dad uses up all the energy inside, it will no longer be powerful. It must be brought back to me and recharged before it can be used again. However, this energy is plenty, enough to fire hundreds or thousands of times..."
The War King said no more, his daughter has a big secret, this weapon is too powerful.
A single shot is so powerful, and it can be fired hundreds of times in succession, killing one person at a time. With such a small weapon, it can kill hundreds! Even thousands of people!
The key point is that he tried it and found that it did not require any internal force, and ordinary people could use it, and killing people was effortless.
It can also launch sneak attacks! It can also track automatically!
It's totally unimaginable.
When a warrior fights, he has to exert a lot of energy and it is impossible for him to kill so many people at the same time.
If this were used on the battlefield...
That was just so cool!
Kill indiscriminately!
The War King studied the laser gun for a long time and returned it to Jiang Lianzhu reluctantly.
"My daughter, this is such a good thing, you should keep it with you. Dad can't use it. It's more useful if you keep it, and you can even charge it yourself..."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled slightly, "Dad, I still have some on me! Normally, if Dabao, Erbao, and Nanbao encounter any danger, I will give them these weapons. After the danger is over, I will collect them back. Everyone will have one, so there will be enough. Take them, just in case you need them when you go out!"
The War King then accepted it with confidence.
If his daughter doesn't say anything, he won't ask.
Anyway, he got the good stuff and it was a good thing for him.
He felt more at ease when going out because his daughter was much stronger than he had imagined.
…
Soon, the time passed as scheduled. Tan Tao set off first, and Zhan Wang set off later. To outsiders, it seemed that the two were not going to the same place.
So as to avoid exposing your whereabouts.
When Tan Tao went to study abroad, the people of Da'an were used to it. Once he left home, no one knew where he went or when he would be back, as the mountains were high and the waters were far away.
The War King also traveled light, and when someone passed through the city gate, the Gray Guards deliberately said that he was going back to his fiefdom to meditate and consolidate his realm, and everyone heard it.
In this way, they went their separate ways on the road until two or three days later, when they had gotten rid of all the spies and informants, and then the two groups joined together.
…
Besides, Erbao finally moved out of the palace and moved back to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Living alone, I feel like the sky is high enough for birds to fly and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.
The little fat boy also used his connections to get into Tianya Academy and went to and from school with Erbao. The boy followed Erbao back to the Prince Xiang's Mansion, and he felt relieved.
Finally got rid of the risk of being a eunuch!
Although he didn't like studying, he felt that his studies could still be saved compared to being a eunuch.
At the beginning of spring, the spring rain fell continuously, which was a good time for sowing. The people all felt that the new emperor was lucky to ascend the throne, and the new year started with good weather and good rain.
Last year, Jiang Lianzhu sent someone to collect a large amount of grain with silver.
Layer by layer, people were personally assigned to implement the plan, distributing food to the extremely poor and hungry people during the lean period, to ensure that the number of people who starve to death is minimized.
Because every year, when there was a shortage of food, people would starve to death or sell their children. She came from the countryside and had seen a lot of this and heard the elders talk about it.
Now that we have the ability to provide the people with some protection and a sense of security, this is the foundation for national peace and prosperity.
After the grain was used, there was a fear that it would be embezzled by corrupt officials. This happened in the past when a disaster occurred in Daliangzhou and the people fled famine, and the grain distributed by the court was embezzled by the government. Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu rode golden eagles across the country to select areas for inspection. Once discovered, they would be severely punished, lose their official positions and titles, and be imprisoned. In serious cases, the entire family would be confiscated and nine generations of the clan would be implicated.
Therefore, basically no one dares to be greedy.
Who knows when a regent will appear from the sky!
The Regent has a giant golden eagle that can travel thousands of miles a day. In a single day, it can fly from one end of Da'an Kingdom to the other...
Don't be too convenient!
It is completely different from before. They thought that the emperor was far away and they could embezzle money and enrich themselves. Now that a big flying bird appeared in the sky, they were frightened.
Don't dare to have bad intentions.
In this way, the people will truly benefit, and the court atmosphere of Da'an Kingdom will be positive.
The support for the young emperor has increased even more throughout the Da'an Kingdom.
***
Moon City.
It is a small border town bordering Aquarius. The people here are praising the new emperor's good policies on the streets.
Today is the time to distribute spring grain.
There is a small town under Yuecheng called Wufu Town. It has an auspicious name, but it is actually very poor and people starve to death every year. Therefore, it receives special care from above and is given a larger share of spring grain than other towns.
The line of people waiting to receive food was very long, stretching from the street to the end of the alley.
The chief clerk who distributed the grain stood on the stage and said loudly, "Today is the last time to collect the spring grain. Every household will get a share. Don't worry. After collecting the spring grain this time, eat it sparingly. You can eat it until the spring grain is planted. Everyone, please be at ease!"
That confidence is particularly strong.
It all comes down to the sense of security coming from the court.
There will be no starving people this year. Without starving people, public security and other things will be much better, and he will have less worries.
