After crossing, I became the vicious concubine of the tyrant

Chapter 384 The Difference Between Inside and Outside the City

Ever since the city lord agreed on the construction of the river, the streets of Jiangzhou City became more and more lively, with horses and ox carts coming and going from time to time, not to mention the current disaster year, even in the past it was rarely so lively.

"What are you doing? The ban on the city gate has just been relaxed, so it's restored?"

Standing on the side of the street and watching a bullock cart passing by her door, the aunt finally couldn't help it, and asked the neighbor next to her in surprise, but she obviously didn't expect the other party's answer, curiosity is curiosity, there are some things It's not something they can interfere with.

"Ha, you don't know that. The imperial envoy came and said that some water diversion project is going to be built. You don't have to worry about drought in the future."

"Oh, I thought it was something. It turns out that this is the case. Jiangzhou has been in drought for so many years, and there are not many people who starved to death. The grain in the field is not harvested. What is it that takes so much effort? Going to build the Laoshizi water diversion project is a waste of money and people."

The aunt who asked the question before heard the explanation and became more and more disdainful. In her opinion, the so-called construction project was deliberately entertained by the imperial court, and the water from other places was brought to them, thinking that modifying the way of heaven would make it unacceptable. , there will be a catastrophe in the future.

The old man who answered her looked at the aunt with a strange face, as if looking at the crazy eyes, which is obviously a good thing, but it would be bad if it fell into this person's mouth. The old man also rolled his eyes and said nothing speculatively. Too much, so he also turned his back and moved two steps to the side.

No longer answering the aunt, the aunt also thinks that the old man has a bad head. How do ordinary people know how much public food an official will eat in it? In a drought year, the drought is still a drought.

The two ran in opposite directions, and no one noticed that the two teenagers in the crowd looked at each other, and only the two of them could understand the complexity.

"At first, I just thought that Wu Guang's methods were ruthless, but I didn't expect that he could be so successful in brainwashing. Even if the imperial court personally stepped in, the people in the city would not buy it."

Gu Qingyi's face was serious. They had heard what they said just now. To be honest, walking on the street these few days, this aunt's opinion was the majority. No one believed that the imperial court would do such a thing, even from the bottom of their hearts. Think it's a waste of time and money.

"The people in the city are not like those farmers in the countryside who depend on the sky for their food. Naturally, they don't feel deeply. Let's go outside the city in the afternoon to have a look. Anyway, it is not something that can be achieved overnight if the people in Jiangzhou have solidified ideas. Take it easy."

"Maybe on the day when the river channel was opened, everyone saw the success of our water diversion project, and maybe they changed their minds."

Gu Qingcheng said comfortingly that in a place like this where the folk customs are not civilized, people and the government have a natural distrust, and it can't be bought off with just a few words and one thing, and she has indeed received some kindness from the city lord. affirmative answer.

It's just that it is not a simple matter to hypnotize all the people in Jiangzhou City. Speaking of it, Gu Qingcheng has not given up on finding the secrets of Jiangzhou. To achieve such a huge collective hypnosis, she will not be able to do so without a medium. believable.

"That's the only way to go. Has the city lord agreed when the construction will start? Recently, there has been too much movement in transporting things. I am always worried that something will happen. My eyelids are twitching."

Gu Qingcheng sighed, although he heard his father talk about a lot of grassroots political affairs before, but he didn't really feel that his knowledge was shallow until he saw these scenes with his own eyes.

"But what's uncomfortable, I'll take my sister's pulse."

As soon as Gu Qingcheng heard Gu Qingyi say that her eyelids were twitching, she also felt a little uncomfortable, and immediately forgot what she said earlier, nervously grabbed Gu Qingyi's wrist, and couldn't help but sound her pulse carefully, making Gu Qingyi dumbfounded, but she didn't push it away she.

"My sister has been thinking too much recently, and her heart is depressed and worried. It is inevitable that she will be a little bit upset. Go back and have a good rest and stop working hard. I will write a prescription for food supplements to supplement you, sister! I Talking to you, are you listening?"

It's not a big problem, Gu Qingcheng's hanging heart finally fell down, Gu Qingyi looked at her younger sister's deliberate ugliness face covered with gray and gray, her big black and white eyes were so sincere that it couldn't be ignored, she kept saying Non-stop, like an old hen protecting her cubs, she probably laughed at her own metaphor, and Gu Qingyi couldn't hold back her laughter.

This time it directly ignited Gu Qingcheng. She crossed her waist and stared at Gu Qingyi angrily. She was very dissatisfied with the other party's perfunctory and distracted attitude. This is completely unbearable.

"Hahahaha, my Qingcheng'er is so cute, okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, my sister knows, she must be obedient, okay, let's leave quickly, don't we still have to go outside the city to see, wait After a while, the time is running out, and it’s too late to go back.”

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng's complexion was getting worse and worse, Gu Qingyi stopped laughing, and said in a half-comforting and half-submissive manner, Gu Qingcheng gave her sister an angry look, knowing that her attitude was perfunctory, but she didn't like it anymore Say more, that's all, anyway, I just need to supervise more.

The situation outside the city was exactly as Gu Qingcheng had expected before. No matter how powerful Wu Guang was, he still couldn't brainwash the people in all the surrounding villages, so the voices outside the city seemed more objective.

Although everyone was not very optimistic about this water diversion project when they were chatting, the bright hope in their eyes could not be ignored. Perhaps it was because they were afraid that the disappointment would be greater if they expected too much, so they only talked about it. It's not surprising to hold on.

Trying to convince myself that if it succeeds in the future, I will be happy there, and if it fails, I will not be so disappointed except for a while.

"Uncle, it seems that your complexion has improved a lot recently, but you have taken the medicine I gave you seriously."

Gu Qingcheng finally stopped at the corner not far from the porridge tent. The grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other for warmth. Gu Qingcheng asked softly, and the little boy in the old man's arms carefully raised his head from the crook of his arms. , a pair of beast-like eyes looked at Gu Qingcheng vigilantly.

"Eat it, at first I would ask Congee Peng to help me make the medicine, but later on I am a kid, although I am young, but I am a very good director, I found a broken earthen pot to make medicine for me, thanks to the young master, Otherwise, the old man will really confess here..."
