A county official's property can actually support a battalion for three months, so how many gold and silver treasures will be carried by those guys who have been dismissed by Liu Xing in groups going south now!

Wang Mingde was born as a scholar, and his talent in Yuefu is now the best in the world. However, Wang Mingde is not a person who reads dead books and dead books, otherwise he would not have been so appreciated and trusted by Liu Xing, let alone famous among the government and the opposition.

It is not a dead book, and people who read dead books will understand empathy and think about things from multiple angles, which is what Liu Xing often said, hoping that all the civil and military officials of the Northern Song Dynasty would have "both live and flexible, but also stick to the bottom line".

Wang Mingde is a person who knows the bottom line of Liu Xing and the Northern Dynasty very well, when he saw that those officials who were going south and the officials were carrying so much gold and silver, and then thought about Zhao Ding's words that Zhao Ding now complained that he couldn't save money as long as he exchanged letters with him, and the money was used by Liu Xing to fight in the Quartet.

Wang Mingde, whose eyes were rolling and the water was flooding, found Wu Jue and said, "Do you want to make my army no longer need to take money and food from the household department in a few months, and carry forward Taifu's strategy of 'feeding war with war' again?" ”

Wu Jue heard what he said and didn't know what he meant, and said in amazement: "Didn't we rob the military rations and treasury grain of the Kang Wang's army in Huaixi and Huaidong, how else should I go to 'feed the war with war'?" You can't do anything to those ordinary people, but the Taifu will really cut off my head. ”

Halfway through the sentence, Wu Jue paused slightly, and then said: "I am not short of food now, I want to restore the withered city, and I need money now, a large amount of money." But even if all the rich households in Lianghuai are arrested and run away. The money I can get is not enough for me to restore the cities of the two Huai. ”

Siege the city. Wu Jue is an expert. There is a way that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to rule the world. Wu Jue, who was born in the army, became the governor of the army. I feel more and more that if I want to govern a country well, the most important thing is that as Liu Xing said, you must have money first.

He was able to sweep and easily capture all of them with a large army, but after the capture, Wu Jue found that the soldiers under him were too lacking in heart!

Almost every time you pass a city, at least half of its facilities are in ruins. Now if you want to restore and govern, you need to throw a lot of money at it.

But what? When he turned around, he wanted to ask Zhao Ding for money, but Zhao Ding directly cried and cried out that he was not falling, so that Lai said that he only gave military expenses and did not give him the "reconstruction and recovery funds" of Lianghuai and Hubei......

Wang Mingde, who knew these inside stories, listened to his helpless words, and said with a strange smile: "According to the new law of my Great Song Dynasty, the property of all those who defect to the enemy will be confiscated. Do you remember the table? Vast sums of cash, gold, silver and jewels are now walking on the ground of you and me. ”

After his face turned cold and Wang Mingde's voice became extremely cold, he continued: "And the owners of those treasures are all people who have defected to the enemy, if they leave their money to rebuild Lianghuai, what do they think of the platform? Is this also a different interpretation of Taifu's 'fighting to feed war'? ”

The group of dismissed officials who went south were a group of garbage who were abandoned by Liu Xing and had too poor real talent and learning. For such a group of garbage, Liu Xing disdained to order Wu Jue to kill them, which Wu Jue had actually felt when he asked Liu Xing's superiors.

However, these Confucian scholars who went south were all from the Northern Dynasty in the past, and although King Kang and King Xin were brothers and sisters, they had no two heavens and no two masters of the country, and now the position of the brothers determined that the two courts in the north and south, which they actually or nominally dominated, were hostile.

Then if the people of the Northern Dynasty want to flee to the Southern Dynasty, that is the treason and defection to the enemy as defined in the new law. Since that group of Confucian scholars was a traitor to the enemy. According to the provisions of the new law, all their assets should be confiscated.

When Wang Mingde robbed and killed the daughter of the **** county official, especially when the two large boxes of treasures were found in the end. Wu Jue learned about the group of people that Liu Xing disdained. With so much gold and silver treasure, his eyes also radiated a strange light.

People have a greedy side, some people are greedy for selfish desires, and some people become extremely greedy for the sake of public welfare.

Wu Jue is the second type of person, he is now a person with fine clothes and food, and the greed for ink that does not need him to think about the Fa is enough to live an enviable good life. His greedy nature, because there is no market for selfish desires, is naturally transferred to the market of public interest.

For the sake of public interest, Wu Jue wanted to quickly restore the cities where Lianghuai and Hubei were smashed by his subordinates, and wanted to let Lianghuai and the people of Hubei quickly live a stable, harmonious and prosperous life, and his greedy nature decided to make him give such an order.

As soon as his order came out, the land of Lianghuai suddenly changed from a brief silence after the smoke of war dissipated into another chaotic scene.

Originally, the military regulations of the Northern Song Dynasty were extremely strict, and Wu Jue gave this order, starting from Wang Mingde, and directly put sheep on the main roads and trails for those soldiers.

What are you going to do? Nominally, it is a person who blocks the road and sets up cards and checks the people who come and go. In fact, it was to block the Confucian students who went south and were dismissed by Liu Xing.

Military rules and military discipline, once those checkpoints on the road find the Confucian students going south, and make sure that they have money and treasures on them, then all military discipline and military regulations are invalid.

From top to bottom, from Wu Jie to the grassroots level of Shicao, they all said the same thing to those soldiers: "There is no forgiveness for traitors, and it is not your law to kill them."

The commander said that it is not illegal to kill people, so how can the soldiers at the grassroots level think too much? So in the past two months, Lianghuai has become a hell on earth for all the Confucian students who went south to join King Kang.

As long as almost all the Confucian scholars who went south entered the boundary of the two Huai lands, they were plundered of their money and their wives and daughters, and their bodies were abandoned in the wilderness by the soldiers under the command of Wu Jue......

In the end, the Confucian scholars who were able to get lucky enough to pass through the hell on earth in Lianghuai and arrived in the Southern Dynasty almost no one still had a penny on them, and many scholars found the reception offices set up by the Southern Dynasty in various places along the river like rags.

Those Confucian scholars didn't know the inside story, and when they arrived in the Southern Dynasty, in the propaganda of those officials in the Southern Dynasty, the matter of the two Huai hells was counted on Liu Xing's head. The officials of the Southern Dynasty all said that Liu Xing ordered the troops to plunder, so that the group of scholars came to the Southern Dynasty in such a decadent manner.

As a result, another characteristic of Confucianism quickly attacked. That trait is called "people are also clouds", or it can be said that "hearsay can be taken seriously". Almost all the scholars who arrived in the Southern Dynasty regarded the Lianghuai Hell as Liu Xing's means of retaliating against them, so they hated Liu Xing completely.

With hatred, when King Kang Zhao Gou used a large amount of money and grain, a large area of land and houses to settle those who went south. As soon as King Kang ascended to the heights, those who went south naturally responded excitedly, sparing no effort to condemn and slander Liu Xinglai. (To be continued.) )
