Ten days later, Wei Di. watermark ad test watermark ad test
It's winter now, and although it hasn't snowed yet, the weather is already extremely cold.
Wei Wangjiu is now asking about Wei Bao's situation, even though he has already returned to Weidi.
But to others, he is dead.
It's not good to go out by yourself.
"How are the people outside?"
Wei Wangjiu asked with a serious expression.
In the past, the people of Weidi were oppressed by the Xiang family.
Insufficient supplies for the winter.
Wei Bao shook his head with an ugly face,
"The residence is not bad, but now after the war, there are many more houses without owners."
"Farmers have been doing their best to support the people before winter, but there are too many people who lack food, and it is not enough after all."
"This winter, I'm afraid many people will starve to death."
Wei Wangjiu's expression suddenly darkened, he frowned and asked,
"Is there any movement from King Zhao?"
When he gave Zhao Lang money back then, Zhao Lang promised him that he would try his best to take care of the people in Wei.
Wei Bao shook his head and replied,
"King Zhao is not having a good time recently. After being kicked out of Yunmengze by the farmer, he has been in Handi, and he heard that he had a conflict with Han Wangxin."
"It should be overwhelmed by now."
Wei Wangjiu didn't have anything to say, he just sighed lightly and said,
"Let's give all our remaining money to the farmers. They have contributed a lot this time. After all, they are our people. How can we make them special."
The farmer made a lot of efforts this time, and the money spent may be more than what he gave to King Zhao.
Wei Bao hesitated for a moment at this time, and said,
"Brother, if this is the case, I'm afraid that after this winter, the common people will only know about the farm, and not that I'm waiting."
People are very realistic.
Whoever gives them peace and prosperity, they follow.
Wei Wangjiu naturally understood this truth, smiled wryly, and said,
"As long as the people can be saved, what does it matter who gets the fame?"
"Besides, our royal family really didn't do a good job."
"People can follow whomever they want."
Another point, Wei Wangjiu didn't need to say it clearly.
If he uses the channels of the Wei royal family to help the people.
I am afraid that it is still a question whether these money can reach the hands of the people.
On the contrary, the farmhouse is an excellent channel.
Those nobles did not dare to do anything to the farmers.
There were also people who attacked the farm before, and directly sent people to snatch the farm's Quyuan plow and seeds.
But after being killed by the peasant saintess several Zhuangzi in succession, no one dared to do anything.
Now in Weidi, the reputation of the peasant family has almost caught up with the royal family.
After this winter, I am afraid it will be surpassed.
"Also, tell those nobles who want to follow the Xiang family to attack Guanzhong, they can leave if they want to, and they must pay us a tax!"
Xiang's order has already affected Weidi.
Many aristocrats with ambitions wanted to follow the Xiang family and fight for the chance to be crowned king.
Wei Wangjiu didn't stop him either, it would be better for these wandering nobles to leave.
Instead, they can help the people better.
At this moment, a young man walked in, saluted very politely,
"The king's news from outside."
After speaking, he presented a piece of cloth and withdrew.
Wei Wangjiu opened the cloth and began to watch, but Wei Bao looked at the back of the leaving boy and said,
"Brother, are these servants reliable?"
Wei Wangjiu's current identity cannot be exposed.
Wei Wangjiu nodded indifferently, and replied,
"That's Xiaosi. We met on the way. Our family members were all disaster-stricken. He is innocent and can read and write. He is a good seedling."
"And he's not alone."
"You don't have to worry about that,"
Speaking of which, Wei Wangjiu handed the cloth in his hand to Wei Bao, saying,
"Let's take a look at the news. Recently, many Mo family members gathered in Weidi, and they made a big announcement. In three days, the Mo family's latest secret technique, Qi will be displayed."
"I heard that even the great son of the Mo family will come."
After reading the information, Wei Bao said with slightly bright eyes,
"Brother, this is good news and an opportunity!"
"Mohism is good at attacking cities, but it is also good at defending!"
"If we can make good friends with the Mohists, we will definitely be able to protect the people of Wei."
Wei Bao has no other ambitions now.
The people who can guard the land of Wei are enough.
Wei Wangjiu nodded and said with a smile,
"That's a good idea."
"Okay, you go and send the money to the farmer's house first, and then contact the people of the Mo family."
"By the way, it's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for us if the Mo family gathers here if we pay more attention these days."
He was thinking a little further.
There is an example of this farmhouse here.
I am afraid that everyone will not give up on the Mohism, after all those siege mechanisms are something that many people dream of.
Thinking of this, Wei Wangjiu added another sentence,
"Increase the entry fee for these two days!"
He is also short of money now.
Just when Wei Bao was about to go out, Xiao Si who had just left came in hurriedly and told,
"Your Majesty, there is a man from the Zhao family outside who claims to be your old friend and wants to see King Wei."
When talking, Xiaosi's face was a little weird, but fortunately he lowered his head, but no one noticed.
"Zhao's man? Old man?"
Wei Wangjiu frowned slightly, he already knew who it was.
After all, the Zhao family knew that his old friend who was not dead was Zhao Lang.
What was strange to him was, what was the other party doing here at this juncture?
Moreover, Zhao Lang took his money but didn't help the people, so it was a breach of his promise!
Although he has difficulties, this is not an excuse to break his promise.
Among the royal family, credibility is still very important.
After hesitating for a while, Wei Wangjiu still said,
"Let him in."
Except for Zhao Lang's breaking his promise, he still appreciates the other party.
Coincidentally, he also asked the other party.
Soon, Xiao Si walked in with a few people.
Looking at the people in front of him, Wei Wangjiu said with a complicated expression,
"King Zhao is here, but what's the matter?"
He still remembered Zhao Lang's beautiful appearance not long ago.
Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, now I dare not even go out with a big fanfare.
Things change too fast.
Zhao Lang didn't seem to be affected in any way, and said with a smile,
"King Wei, this king is here for the Mohists."
Wei Wangjiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and replied,
"It seems that King Zhao has not given up on the fight with the Xiang family, but this king wants to ask King Zhao why he broke his promise! King Zhao promised to help the people of Wei, but he didn't take any action at all!"
"Even if you are busy with your affairs, you should show it a little bit!"
Zhao Lang had expected that the other party would ask this question, and was about to explain.
Xiao Si hurried in again, and said with a serious face,
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiang is here!"
