The current Dragon City can be said to be an empty city. All the people in it are gone because the last city lord was killed and no one came here to control it. Who would be in trouble with his own life
In this world, nine out of ten city lords are greedy, and one is a fool. City lords like Nalan Meng are really stupid, but this stupid one has benevolence, morality, and is respected by the people. Adoration, for Nalanmeng, it is understandable to be a little silly, it is enough for her to be happy.
Nalan Meng thinks so, but it does not mean that others think so. Others serve as officials in order to line their own pockets and make a lot of money, instead of thinking about the people.
Precisely because of this, Nalanmeng agreed with Li Huguo's suggestion and opened the city to distribute grain when entering the city. The two had some small disputes over the grain distribution. It was not a dispute, it was just from different perspectives.
Because these grains were brought from Tianlang City, the quantity was limited. Nalan Meng suggested feeding them once every three days, but Li Hugo insisted on feeding them once every seven days. After all, he also had 10,000 Tianlang Guards, so it was impossible to give them all to the people here. .
Be relaxed and moderate, rather than blindly being a bad person.
With the comfort of food, the people's attitude towards the new city lord has become much better, especially when the new city lord is a woman, a beauty, and a kind and considerate female city lord. Many people have begun to defect.
Li Huguo put a bucket of grain into an uncle's cloth bag. As he put it in, he said, "Uncle, do you know how the previous city lord died?"
"He was killed by the thief Wang Laowu, but the thief was a good man with strong martial arts skills. He prayed for the people and distributed all the money collected to everyone." The uncle said.
Li Huguo frowned: "Since it is distributed to everyone, why is it still so poor here?"
"Don't reveal your wealth. This is an iron rule. The bandits outside Longcheng knew that the people in Longcheng had money, so they came here to collect the money. Because there is no city owner in Longcheng, they can come in and out at will, and there is no one." If you dare to oppose them, you will be beaten or scolded if you are not careful. Of course, it is relatively mild. I saw with my own eyes that a family in difficulty was disemboweled by the thief who refused to take out the money. Now... ... Everyone is complaining about Wang Laowu." The uncle shook his head and said.
Li Huguo smiled and said: "Since you have done good things, why complain?"
"It's very simple. Although the original city lord was a bastard, he still had a lot of soldiers under his command. Although there were only 500 people, they were better than nothing. So when the city lord was alive, although he levied brutal taxes on everyone, it still counted as a waste of time. For example, everyone He pays taxes once a month and does not kill anyone. After all, as a city lord, he cannot kill his own people, right? So although everyone is in pain, at least they have a place to live. Although they starve every day, they will not starve to death. However, once the city lord dies, , now Dragon City has become a mess." As he spoke, the uncle squeezed out two tears, "My beautiful daughter was captured by those bandits, and now I don't know whether she is dead or alive... You explain… "
The uncle started talking, and other people around him also started talking.
Opposite Li Huguo, an aunt carrying a basket said, "That's right, Wang Laowu is a bastard, he's a tortoise! He'll be a disservice. You see, people are starving to death every day. Many people just eat and drink in order to survive." Sell your own house in exchange for some food, but if you run out of food, you can only live as a refugee outside the city... Some people have begun to eat dirt. I saw with my own eyes a half-year-old child with a stuffed mouth. It’s full of mud, oh my, I’m so pitiful...”
Another young man also said: "Wang Laowu is a scumbag! Everyone is living so hard now because of him!"
"Yep!"
"Wang Laowu must die a happy death!"
Many people also exclaimed, just like the passionate students who paraded in the streets during the Republic of China, each of them waved their fists and were filled with righteous indignation.
Of course this is different. The students of that era were protesting against the invaders, while the people here simply wanted to survive.
"It seems that there is no need for Master Li to come out, the murderer has already come out." Nalan Meng said with a smile.
Li Yuguo sighed: "This matter is complicated. A brainless person doesn't know how to keep a low profile. This is good, but it is not a help..."
"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and there is nothing we can do about it." Li Yuguo handed the bucket to a maid, "Xiao Lu, you come and distribute the food, two buckets per person, I will go out of the city."
"Yes, uncle." The maid said.
When Nalan Meng saw that Li Huguo was leaving, he quickly said: "Come back soon."
Li Huguo looked back and said with a smile, "I know, what's something delicious to eat tonight?"
"Make your favorite crispy pork belly!" Nalanmeng wiped the flour on his hands, "I have to go back and prepare first. The recipe you gave me is also very complicated. Just make this crispy pork belly. Although it says it’s delicious, it needs to be marinated for an hour, then oiled, and grilled... Tsk tsk... You know how to trouble people!"
As he said that, Nalan Meng glanced at Li Yuguo with gentle eyes, just like a wife going to the kitchen in an ordinary family, not at all what a city lord should look like.
Seeing that Nalan Meng and Li Huguo are getting along well, the people around them also see it. Just like a family, if the relationship between parents and husband is harmonious, children will definitely be very happy when they grow up, and the same is true in this Dragon City. If the city lord and his wife get along well with each other, it is inevitable that they will not only be pleasing to the eye, but also like them very much.
But after Li Yuguo took a few steps, he was suddenly stopped by Nalan Meng: "Wait a moment."
Li Yuguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's going on? You're so cute..."
"Give me the Concubine's Intention Sword." Nalan Meng said.
Li Yuguo was stunned: "You..."
"What others have learned, I have also learned. When I have nothing to do in the future, I will practice this art of love between husband and concubine. Don't say you don't want to!"
"How dare you!" Li Yuguo said with a smile, handing the Concubine's Intention Sword to Nalan Meng with both hands.
In fact, it was Nalan Meng who felt sorry for Li Yuguo. She knew that if Li Yuguo had trouble with the Yun sisters in the future, then this skill would not be able to be used. Moreover, she also wanted to use this to dilute the pain in Li Yuguo's heart. Although Li Yuguo didn't say it, but as a pillow People on the outside, how can you not know about Nalan Meng? She understood that Li Yuguo just didn't want to worry her, but she saw through it, but she pretended not to see through it and was a stupid woman.
Li Yuguo carried two swords on his back, one Lang Qing Dao and one Bishui Han Dao. He came to the city gate and whistled. Amidst the exclamations of many children, the Yalang King slowly flew over, but unexpectedly when he was about to When he got on his mount and left, a man suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop.
"General Li, I am guilty! Please grant me death!"
As soon as these words came out, all the people around the city gate also looked over and looked at the kneeling man.
