My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

"Mr. Ning, there's a letter from the general."

Ning Changrong took the letter from the soldier and walked to a deserted place to open it.

It began, "The fish has been hooked."

It contains details of recent events.

After reading it, Ning Changrong sat back in his seat and answered with a pen.

"According to plan."

This is the strategy that Ning Changrong discussed with Chang Yuan before leaving. The gunpowder has appeared, and it will surely spread to all parties soon. The court will definitely be unable to sit still and will try every means to find out. The way they want to find out is very simple. It would be too big of a goal to send someone directly, and the two spies who had already been sent would definitely be reactivated.

Sure enough, as he expected, not long after he left, the two traitors were conveniently reconnected by the court, and they were given a task to find out what gunpowder was, and it was best to get the formula.

But the imperial court didn’t know that the two traitors had joined them. Liu Yongguang and Yan Guang had already settled down in Brother Zhang’s village where they worked in the same team. After the imperial court found them, they pretended to be He agreed, and then found Chang Yuan secretly while working, and explained the matter.

Chang Yuan immediately sent a letter to Ning Changrong after learning about it. The formula of gunpowder must not be given, and two ordinary spies can get the formula of gunpowder casually. No matter how stupid the court is, they can't believe it!

According to Ning Changrong's original plan, Liu Yongguang and Yan Guang were asked to delay for ten days and a half months and gave them some half-truths and half-false information, such as the scarcity of gunpowder, and the tight defense of the gunpowder storage. Close, the two of them couldn't get the formula.

In the end, he also gave the address of a suspected gunpowder storage point, which was Taoyuan Village.

The former is false while the latter is indeed true.

Taoyuan Village is so tightly guarded that anyone who cares about it will be able to know where it is, but even if they tell them the location, they can't do anything about it. It has long been guarded and airtight, unless they send a large number of troops. Only by attacking can it be possible to attack, otherwise don't even think about going up with just a few people?It is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

In order to prevent those people from jumping over the wall in a hurry, I compiled a message that gunpowder is relatively scarce and difficult to make.

After the imperial court learned that gunpowder was scarce, although they could not get the formula for the time being, they were not in such a hurry, but they paid more attention to Liu Yongguang and the two. After all, they also gave a detailed address of the gunpowder production place. , and information about the scarcity of gunpowder is difficult to produce, but in general it is still somewhat useful.

Even the superiors of Liu Yongguang and the two took the initiative to give them ten taels of silver. You must know that they had only been given one tael of silver before.The rest of the expenses were all paid by the two of them.

And before coming here, he promised the two of them that he would give the family a settling fee. Yan Guang didn't have any family members here and didn't pay it. But Liu Yongguang has family members, and his sister is still there, but his sister was arrested After receiving it, Liu Yongguang personally asked his sister, but the other party didn't know about the settlement fee at all.

After hearing this, Liu Yongguang was even more thankful that they abandoned the dark and turned to the bright.

After Liu Yongguang's sister was sent to pick her up, she immediately settled in the village next to where Liu Yongguang lived.

It's not that we can't arrange with him, it's just to prevent someone from the court from finding something wrong when they come to Liu Yongguang.

After all, in the imperial court, Liu Yongguang's sister's family is dead. Although they have never seen Liu Yongguang's sister's family, it is better to separate them just in case.

And to the outside world, he also called this family his god-sister.

Liu Yongguang didn't feel wronged either. In this war-torn era, it would be great if the family could live in peace.

……

After Ning Changrong came to Jinzhou, he worked tirelessly with Bai Yunliang to start governance.

The people of Jinzhou were very hostile to them, but it took Ning Changrong a long time to get these people to let go of their hatred. The reason why these people hated them was simply because of the wars and disasters they had brought to them.

Ning Changrong knew that these people did not believe them. From the mouths of the refugees who fled to Taixi County earlier, they knew that Chang Yuan had long been a vicious ghost in the propaganda of the Hundred Courts.

There were even rumors that Chang Yuan would eat three dolls for a meal, and only the ones that had just reached the full moon.

When Ning Changrong and Bai Yunliang arrived, they discussed it and formulated specific policies. They didn't rush to clarify what they were like. As long as these people have eyes, they will see for themselves.

Ning Changrong organized the soldiers into several groups and patrolled the city day and night to maintain law and order.

When encountering local hooligans who fish in troubled waters and rob houses, they are directly dragged to prison.

Other than that, there was no harassment of the people in these cities.

Even sent soldiers to act in a play.

Let a soldier pretend to drink, get drunk and want to eat free food in a restaurant, and then just happened to be bumped into by Ning Changrong who was on patrol, and he was dealt with directly on the spot by military law.Since then, the people in the city have spread the news more and more, and everyone's trust in them has gradually increased.

At the very least, the imperial court would not deal with a free-eating soldier, and would even take the soldiers to eat and drink together, and even take it in their pockets.

No matter what the common people think, at least those merchants have a better and better impression of Chang Yuan and his group.

Although they still have to pay commercial tax, which is even higher than before, but in addition to commercial tax, they no longer have to pay some miscellaneous taxes.

And if there is any trouble, you can directly call the patrolling soldiers to help them solve the problem. As long as they stand firm, those soldiers will definitely support them.

There are no land scoundrels who dare to extort. Although the business tax is high, the overall money to be paid is less, and it is even safer.

The merchants in the city have greatly increased their favorability for this group of people in just one month.

……

"Sure enough, your method is more effective." Bai Yunliang and Ning Changrong walked on the street to inspect, and all the stalls were opened one after another. Everyone seemed to be looking at these rebels in the city who really didn't know how to deal with it. What did they do, and they were under pressure to make a living, so they had to open the door tentatively.

At the beginning, Bai Yunliang wanted to catch a few culprits and behead them, just like Chang Yuan killed Hu Dadao and his gang before, making decisions for the people and standing with the people.

But in fact, the rich and powerful people in the city had almost run away at that time, so how could there be any culprits for them to catch?And even if those little fish and shrimp were killed, it wouldn't be of much use. After all, these people were still willing to stay, but they weren't forced to live, so there wouldn't be too much hatred for those people.

That's why Ning Changrong came up with the play.

Of course, he rehearsed not only that one, but also more scenes, but they were all similar, and not all of them were scenes in which he discovered the soldiers who violated the rules, but also the scenes where the soldiers' superiors found out and the soldiers' colleagues reported.

The same goal by different routes is to let these people see that they are a disciplined team.

And those soldiers who acted as bad guys also got a subsidy. Although they were beaten in public, they didn't actually kill them, and they still had something on their buttocks.After being beaten, there is still money to get, and everyone enjoys it.
