Chapter 173 Chapter 173
"I know you hate the barbarians, but this matter is of great importance, and it's not something you should care about. Let's all go back!" After Jin Meng finished speaking, he pulled the reins and was about to leave.

The gray old man: "General, please slow down!"

Following these words, the gray old man knelt down and said, "General, please listen to the public opinion."

"General, please listen to the public opinion!" The other common people knelt down again and shouted loudly.

Jin Meng's eyes sank, "Okay, I'll listen to it today."

Turning over and dismounting, Jin Meng handed over the reins to Jin He.

Then he strode forward a few steps, "You guys get up and talk?"

But this time, no one got up.

The gray old man kowtowed and said: "General, you led the grassroots and others to defeat the barbarians before, and the grassroots and others were all convinced by you. But today, the grass and the people cannot accept what you did."

The white old man was furious: "That barbarian has no hatred with us, how can you build a city in their place?"

"General, you must not build a city for the barbarians!" The common people shouted.

Hearing these words, the gray old man kowtowed again: "General, you must not make us feel cold!"

"Who is the old man?" Jin Meng asked.

The gray old man: "The grassroots are not talented, and they used to be the accountant of the Yingke Building."

Jin Meng: "Since you are an accountant, you should be able to read and write?"

The gray old man: "Caomin once studied in a private school for several years."

"Just now someone shouted that the city was built for the Manzi. You should tell them that this is wrong." Jin Meng's eyes flashed and he said loudly, "The city was not built for the Manzi. It is my Great Zhou's city."

The gray old man raised his head, "General, although you say it is my Great Zhou's city, but the city is built a hundred miles away from the west gate, next to Manzi, how is it different from Manzi's city?"

"It's not built next to someone, it's built for someone." Jin Meng glanced at the common people with his piercing eyes, "The city built outside the west gate is deployed by our army. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back."

The common people came here in anger, but now they are dumbfounded after hearing this.

It's not what they thought.

Their eyes couldn't help but look at the old man who spoke just now.

The gray old man was also dumbfounded, he had prepared a whole bunch of words of admonition.

But now...

He frowned tightly together, and said again: "Major General, what is the deployment?"

When Jin Meng heard this, his whole body burst into a rage, and he said sharply: "Do you want to spy on the secrets of the army?"

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!" Hearing this, the gray old man immediately denied it in shock, "Caomin absolutely has no such intentions."

Jin Meng looked at the others again.

The people who were seen moved back anxiously.

They can't afford the crime of spying on military secrets.

As for the construction of the city a hundred miles away from the west city gate is a matter of deployment in the army, no one doubts it.

First, they were all convinced of the general's fighting ability.

Secondly, there is no need for the general to lie to ordinary people like them.

Therefore, the general's move to build the city must be deployed in the army.

Seeing that no one spoke, Jin Meng turned his gaze back to the gray old man, "Nianer is the first offender, so I won't be held accountable."

The grey-white old man kowtowed tremblingly, "Grassman, thank you General for your kindness."

"But there are other things?" Jin Meng didn't look at the gray old man, but glanced at other people.

Frightened by the majesty of the general just now, no one spoke for a while.

Jin Meng looked at the gray old man again, "Do you have anything to say?"

The gray old man... took a deep breath, "Go back to the general, Cao Min has it."

"Dao!" Jin Meng rubbed his fingers with his hands behind his back.

The gray old man already regretted being elected by everyone.

However, thinking of making a living at home is difficult.

He still opened his mouth and said: "General, although the construction of the city is related to the deployment of the army. However, the grassroots and others hate the barbarians deeply, and they don't want to build this city in person. Please, General, look into it clearly?"

"Building the city is not a compulsory order. If you don't want to, you can choose not to accept the recruitment." Jin Meng assured: "Although the construction of the city is a huge project, I have ordered the soldiers to go, so you don't have to worry about transferring you."

As soon as the call was made, the people were all excited.

Under the rule of the imperial power, the common people are too clear about the word "drawing".

When Zhou Zu built the mausoleum, he mobilized tens of thousands of people.

Even this city of Su'an, when it was built at that time, was built by recruiting people from the surrounding area on a household basis.

Five years ago, after the war between the old general Jin and the barbarians, he lost too many soldiers.

It is even more important to transfer middle-aged people from households to serve as sergeants.

However, the common people know that the general is not that kind of person.

Now on the gate of the city, there is still a conscription notice posted!

"General, the grassroots are not afraid of you calling us." The gray old man said in shame: "It's because our family is poor. If we don't accept the recruitment, there will be no food in the family. If we accept the recruitment, we will become enemies with the blood of the barbarians. It's worse than starving to death."

The other people nodded one after another.

Before they came, they thought that the general was trying to change the way and force them to build a city for the barbarians.

But when the word "tune" came out just now, the common people knew that they were wrong.

If the general is really forcing them, why bother to use such a method, just transfer them directly.

But even if they knew, their current predicament still couldn't be solved.

At this time, one person shouted: "General, Caomin heard that you and Fan Xiuniang are buying clothes. Caomin's craftsmanship is better than Fan Xiuniang's. Please, General, buy clothes made by Caomin?"

When Fan Xiuniang heard this, her face turned pale.

She didn't even dare to look at the general, she bowed her head deeply.

At this time, Jin Meng also understood what everyone was thinking, "You didn't really come here because of the construction of the city, but to take this opportunity and want me to help you find a living?"

When all the people heard this, they were ashamed.

The gray old man: "General Mingcha, Caomin, etc. are mostly artisans in the city. Since the First World War, the wealthy households in the city have left and the shops have been closed. Those of us have nothing to do, and the Caomin and others are all ordinary people in the city. There is no land. The grass people's family can no longer afford to buy grain at this time."

"General, the grass people's family can't afford to buy food."

"General, my mother-in-law is sick, and the family has no money to see a doctor."

"General, the rice porridge in my house is already clear."

The sound of "General" came into Jin Meng's ears, and he frowned when he heard it.

With a straight face, he raised his hand and waved!
The people immediately stopped making a sound, and all looked over expectantly.

Jin Meng: "I know what happened to you, you go back first, and I will give you an answer after discussing it with my wife."

"Thank you, General!"

The people knelt down and thanked him happily.

Jin Meng suddenly saw a carriage approaching from a distance.

Almost instantly, he recognized that this was the carriage of the family.

The carriage wobbled and soon came close.

The people also found out at this time.

And they also recognized that this was the carriage of the general's wife.

So the people didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly made way for them.

Hou Xiao drove the carriage and didn't stop until it was in front of Jin Meng.

"Slave send hello to the general." Hou Xiao got out of the car and saluted respectfully.

Jin Meng nodded, and glanced at the closed car door.

Then he looked away, and fell on the people again, "Go ahead!"

However, the people were reluctant to leave.

The gray old man: "General, you just said to discuss with the general's wife, and the grassroots can wait for the result here."

After saying this, the gray old man knelt down towards the carriage, "The grass people pay their respects to the general's wife."

The other commoners hurriedly knelt down to the carriage, "Caomin pays homage to the general's wife."

With a creak, the carriage door was opened.

The round-faced Qiao'er walked out the door, she gave Jin Meng a blessing first, "I have seen the general."

After seeing the ceremony, Koji looked at the opened car door.

Fu Jinzhi came out from the car door, she smiled and called, "Husband?"

Jin Meng stepped forward quickly, he stretched out his hand, and helped his wife out of the carriage.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, my lord." After standing still, Fu Jinzhi looked at the kneeling common people, "Everyone please stand up!"

The people didn't get up, but they all raised their heads.

Then they discovered that the general's wife, who had been heard to be more beautiful in the past, was not something that could be simply described as beautiful.

The gorgeous golden dress did not distract the common people's attention at all.

As early as the first time, their eyes were attracted by that beautiful face that seemed not to be real.

"Cough!" Seeing this, Jin Meng coughed heavily.

The eyes of the people subconsciously looked over.

Immediately excited.

Their bearded general could marry such a beautiful wife.

Earned, their generals earned!
