Mu Jing decided that he would only stay in Mujia Village for one night, but he had done a lot of work this night, and he hurried up to work all night, going door to door to visit the elderly of these families.

It's not necessarily a scene, don't talk about sending warmth, at least talk to these family elders to let them have an impression of themselves.

Elders are elders after all.

Even if these elders are basically farmers and woodcutters who have never read a book, they represent the entire family.

Since he is the master of the family, he has to shoulder the future of the clan, no matter what his feelings for the Mu clan are, this is his responsibility, one day in the future, he is really defeated, and it will only be these clansmen who live and die with him.

This is the family, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, in fact, most of the rivalries were between wealthy families, and the family was always the most united group.

Yuan Shao did not have the influence of the Yuan family, and he could not sit firmly as the overlord of Hebei.

Cao Cao did not have the support of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and he could not become Cao Wei Jiangshan, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes and create the head of the Three Kingdoms.

No matter how big or small the family is, it always depends on it.

However, Mu Jing couldn't stay here for too long, the Central Plains was in full swing, and he couldn't stay out of it, so at noon the next day, he left Mujia Village and embarked on the road of patrolling the western part of Nanyang.

The western part of Nanyang can be regarded as the old base of the Minghou Mansion.

At the beginning, Mu Jing led his troops to break through the siege and fight his way out of the siege, he went south to the west of Nanyang, occupied several county towns in the west of Nanyang, established the political group of Minghou Mansion, and expanded outward in the name of Minghou Mansion.

In the past few years, there has been today's situation, unifying the southwest and watching the world.

But even if the political center of the Minghou Mansion is now placed in Yizhou, in the city of Jiangzhou in Ba County, Nanyang Nanxiang is still a place where the dragon rises, and it is as important as ever.

Even if he was forced to withdraw back then, there was no interruption in the management of Nanxiang City.

Although some people in Nanxiang also hate the Minghou Mansion, after all, they stood firmly behind the Minghou Mansion to support, during the war, the Minghou Lady did not retreat in the city, and they were all soldiers to defend Nanxiang.

Nanxiang was saved, I thought there was a good life, even if the Minghou Mansion moved to Hanzhong later, but the opening of the Dongshan Chi Road and the Han Water Chi Road made the two counties smooth, but they didn't feel anything.

But in just a few years, the Minghou Mansion did not hesitate to abandon Nanxiang and completely withdraw from Nanxiang, so that they were shrouded in turmoil, and their stable life was broken, some people were ruined because of this, and some people lost their power......

These grievances, they are all counted on the body of the Ming Marquis Mansion.

They supported the Minghou Mansion, but the Minghou Mansion abandoned them at a critical time, and the grievances in their hearts were like a child abandoned by their parents, unspeakable resentment.

Therefore, when Mujing entered Nanxiang with great fanfare, the scene seemed a little cold, and there were few people in the streets and alleys, and every household was closed and the shops were closed.

Like a silent protest.

This means that we don't welcome you anymore, you are too strong for us to resist, but we also have to show our anger.

"Lord, they're going too far!" Jiang Wan was a little angry, every time Mu Jing went to a place, as long as the flag was exposed, he would become the object of everyone's pursuit, there had never been such a desertion, the people of Nanxiang had gone a little too far.

"They're just showing their emotions, are they doing it wrong?"

Mu Jing was very calm, he sighed, and said: "It's not them who are wrong, it's us, what we do, to say something nice, it's for the overall situation, and if it's not good, it's abandonment!" ”

"They are all outcasts, you can make them have no resentment in their hearts!"

"Some things can't be too harsh!"

From the perspective of the Minghou Mansion, he did nothing wrong, but from the perspective of the people of Nanxiang, then he is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, and it is not unreasonable for the people of Nanxiang to hate him.

"Minghou, Minghou Mansion has been operating in Nanxiang for many years after all, and it can be seen that the people of Nanxiang still remember you!" Xu Shu looked more carefully: "They just have resentment in their hearts and are unwilling to forgive you, so they will close the doors of every house, but they can't help but peek inside the crack in the door!" ”

"If you want to get something, then you have to give up something, I asked myself if I did anything wrong, but in fact, I did hurt them, withdrew from the whole territory of Nanyang, gave them away, once the son of heaven and a courtier, a new monarch and a people, how much they suffered, even if I don't know, I have some guesses!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's just this kind of thing, I don't want to have a second time, in the end, I'm not strong enough, if it's strong enough, why give up!" ”

"How strong is strong?" Xu Shu asked rhetorically.

"One day, I said that the sky is the sky and the earth is the earth, then I am strong enough!" Mu Jing smiled and responded to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu fell into silence a little.

He can see Mu Jing's pride and ambition, and he can also see this boundless ambition, but he can't help but admire a little, it's not a bad thing for people to be ambitious, the key is the starting point.

The starting point of pastoral scenery is not necessarily just selfishness.

Although in a short period of time, Xu Shu didn't think that he could see through Mu Jing's character and character, but what he did was always exposed under his nose, this is a prince with all the people in his heart.

He found that his heart was shaking.

In the prosperous era, the learned literary and martial arts were sold to the emperor's family.

However, in the troubled times, ten years of hard study in the cold window is nothing more than choosing a master and following, showing what he has learned on a stage, walking with the master, assisting him, and looking forward to the future together.

He was forced to follow Mujing.

But he found that Mu Jing might be one of the candidates for the Lord of the Troubled Times, so he had the heart to waver.

……

"Xiaguan Hou Yue, meet the lord!" Nanxiang County ordered Hou Yue and Hou Dingfang to stand on the main street, and saluted Mu Jing without humility or arrogance.

Before entering a county seat, unless he was in plain clothes, he would be notified in advance, and the county magistrate would lead the county officials to go out of the city to greet him.

But Nango didn't.

Nanxiang County Order, welcome in the city.

"No need to be polite!"

Mu Jing took the initiative to dismount, stepped forward with a smile, and expressed his closeness: "You've worked hard all these years!" ”

But Hou Yue didn't appreciate it, and said stiffly: "Lord, the courtyard in the post station is ready, and you can enter it at any time!" ”

Mu Jing smiled, but he was not affected by his attitude, and said, "Then there is Lao Dingfang's arrangement!" ”

"My lord, please!" Hou Yue arched his hand, made an inviting gesture, and pointed the way forward.

"Let's go!"

Mu Jing said lightly, and then walked forward.

Nanxiang Post Station, which is also the key point of the post road, is better built than Wancheng, there are many guests in and out, and a few quiet courtyards are arranged to Mu Jing, and Mu Jing lives with peace of mind.

After entering the post station, the Nanxiang County Commander bowed and left.

"Lord, this Nanxiang County Order is too domineering!" Jiang Wan really couldn't look at it.

"He's not a bulge!"

Mu Jing changed into a loose robe, knelt on the top seat, held a cup of tea, and tasted tea carefully, tea can calm down: "There were many people who left with us back then, but there were not many who were willing to stay, he took the initiative to stay, as a Nanxiang person, he naturally stood on the position of Nanxiang, and he was expressing his dissatisfaction with me!" ”

"Even so, he seems a little too much!"

"Where did he go too far?" Mu Jing asked rhetorically.

Jiang Wan heard this, thought about it, and seemed to be unable to say anything.

"No one stipulates that to welcome my pasture, you must be greeted by ten miles, he greeted him in the city, and he did enough courtesy, what can we say!" Mu Jing smiled: "Don't underestimate this person, many officials in Nanxiang are unwilling to stay, only he is willing to stay in the mess of the supporter, in the past few years, we have single-handedly built Nanxiang County, and it can be preserved as stable as Mount Tai, he has made great contributions!" ”

"A talent indeed!"

Xu Shu also spoke: "From his appearance to his departure, every action and every word he made was perfect, but it was enough to show his resentment towards Minghou, ordinary people can't do this!" ”

"Since some things have been done, we have to bear them, whether it is the people of Nanxiang or the officials, they may not be willing to welcome us, what we have to do is to win back their support for us!"

Mu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose, in fact, he was also very depressed.

Never been left out in the cold.

Even if he was like a lost dog who fled back to Nanyang, the people of Nanyang still welcomed him, but this snub made him a little cold.

But the sins you do yourself need to bear after all.

Can't blame anyone.

Mu Jing glanced at Xu Shu, and wanted to test Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, if you stand in my position, how should you deal with this situation!" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he thought about it, and replied half-loudly: "I don't know!" ”

"Don't know?" Mu Jing squinted: "You don't look like such a person with no self-confidence!" ”

"There is a sense of guilt, it can be classified as a hegemon, and it is impossible to let go of dignity, if you want to win back support, you have to break the current people's resentment against the Minghou Mansion, you can't let go of your body, you can't do it!"

Xu Shu said.

"It's contradictory!" There was a slight bitterness at the corner of Mu Jing's mouth.

It's not that he can't let go of his son, but he can't let go of the face of the Minghou Mansion, the dignified Minghou Mansion, in charge of the southwest, how majestic, losing his prestige, it is equivalent to losing the awe-inspiring mood, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"But there are some things that I think we have to do after all, which are nothing more than drops of water to wear!" Xu Shu continued: "It doesn't matter what Minghou says, the key is what he has done, so that the people of Nanxiang can feel the care of Minghou Mansion again, this layer of ice still has a chance to break!" ”
