Heavenly Dao Formula

The outskirts of the west gate of Jinxia City are another scene.

　　 The temporary camps previously established for refugees can naturally also be used to house prisoners.

　　 But instead of washing their bodies, what they need more is a meal to relieve the cold accumulated along the way.

　　 The Secretariat is not stingy in this respect-the porridge uses the seasonal grain stored in the grain depot. After cooking, you can plug in chopsticks to keep it from falling. The porridge is mixed with salt and minced fish. It is delicious and full, and it is richer than the food in the Privy Council.

　　 How did the captives have encountered such treatment, and each of them hugged the bowl and gobbled it up.

　　 Even if this is the last meal of my life, I have to eat before I go on the road.

　　 "Master Hong, the table in the camp has been set up and can start at any time." Ding Pan reported to his boss. Since Hong Siqi abandoned the secret to the Ming, formally gave up his official title of prefect, and joined the Bureau of Civil Affairs as the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was also given a secretarial position as a domestic servant.

　　 Although this position is not of high grade, it is also named in the bureau. In popular words, it is "the imperial court official". Ding Pan is overjoyed to be able to do this as his domestic servant. For him now, the most important thing is that Jinxia defeats the imperial court and completely replaces it. At the very least, he must maintain independence. Only in this way can he be firmly established as an official and become a master in one fell swoop.

　　Of course, Ding Pan also knows that the propaganda of the Bureau has always emphasized that officials should serve the people, so he can think about it at best, but this does not prevent him from working hard towards this goal. For example, Ding Pan was particularly concerned about the treatment of prisoners-let these people go, they still have the possibility of returning to the enemy army, so if you want to weaken the power of the Privy Council, it is best to leave them all behind.

　　 is also Hong Siqi's heart.

　　In other words, those who have served in the Qi Kingdom court and the Privy Council will all have the same expectation-only when the original regime falls can their status be stabilized.

　　 Hong Siqi vaguely realized that it was Xia Fan's recognition of this that he would also hand over the task of guiding the prisoners to him.

　　 "Let's go over."

　　 The so-called stage is a stage with a square of ten feet. When Hong Siqi boarded, the prisoners below were being escorted into the arena one after another. It can be seen that after a full meal, the complexion of everyone is much better than when they disembarked, and there is also a hint of expression in their eyes. However, when they were brought into this place by the guards of Jinxia City, they showed obvious anxiety and even some resistance.

　　 Hong Siqi pondered it for a while, and suddenly realized that the stage was rather rudimentary due to the lack of time to set up. At first glance, it seemed a bit like a guillotine.

"Look at what table you built!" He naturally wouldn't admit that this was his own omission, and he drew Ding Pan to reprimand him, "Doesn't you feel shabby? Hurry up and buy some colored silk and decorate the surroundings. Both sides Put a few more flower pots, don’t save money here!"

　　 Seeing the latter nodded hurriedly, Hong Siqi cleared his throat and said loudly to the prisoner, "Everyone, listen to what this official says—"

　　 Under the effect of the amplifying note, his voice instantly spread throughout the western suburbs camp, and it also made the more than 5,000 people below instantly much quieter.

　　 "This is not a place of execution. You don't need to worry about decapitation. On the contrary, during the time in Jinxia City, you can enjoy the same food every day until you get rid of your status as prisoners."

　　 As soon as they heard that they had a full meal every day, the restlessness of the crowd was immediately curbed. No matter what the situation in the future, they can at least relax their minds in the short term.

　　 After the fear has temporarily dissipated, it is replaced by doubt and speculation.

　　 "His Royal Highness is so kind?"

　　 "Those porridge has meat in it..."

　　 "What does it mean to get rid of captive status?"

　　 "I guess it is to fill us up."

Hong Siqi pretended not to hear this discussion, and continued to speak loudly, "Since I have eaten enough, it is time to talk about business. But it must be boring to hear the official nagging here alone, and it may not be very good. I understand Jinxia’s policies, so I’d better let you listen to Dr. Cha tell a few stories first."

　　 After finishing talking, he actually walked towards the stage.

　　 The next ones on stage were a tea doctor and two piano girls.

　　 The captives encountered this situation for the first time, and they stayed in place one by one. Regardless of the reaction of the audience, Dr. Cha told the story on the spot after playing a small tune.

There are only a handful of entertainment projects in this era, especially for the low-level soldiers. What's more, the other party is not talking about the lingering between the son and the eldest, but the new generation of vernacular novels written by the Propaganda Department at the request of Xia Fan. , The easy-to-understand beginning soon immersed everyone in it.

The story of 　　 tells the past of three representative characters.

　　 One is a soldier who was forced into the army.

　　 "He" originally had a happy family, but because of the outbreak of the war, he was forced into the army by the Yamen. What he ate was pie gruel, and he was paid the lowest grade. Even so, he would be exploited by his superiors from time to time, and would always be in front of the generals in battle. The fellows from all walks of life have died in battle. Although he was lucky enough to survive to the end, when he was sent home, he found that his family had declined, his wife was prematurely aging, and his property was sold, leaving him only a piece of deserted land.

　　 One is a brothel woman who has the courage to travel from Gyeonggi to Jinxia alone in the face of change. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 This part is basically adapted from Yu Shuangxue's experience, but in the story, her experience is more tortuous. In the end, under the care of the policy, she succeeded in her career, got married smoothly, and lived a happy life in the new city.

　　 The third is the deeds of Huo Ying, an official of Baisha County.

From an ordinary talent to a reserve official of Jinxia City, to a heroic sacrifice in order to protect the mines—this matter is remembered by all Shenzhou residents. While his widows and descendants have received generous compensation, they have also been respected by the neighbors and by the Bureau of Affairs. Taking care of it is in stark contrast with the soldiers who were not cared about in the first story.

　　 There are many stories like this in the propaganda department. However, Hong Siqi finally chose these three stories as the focus of his preaching after repeated reference and comparison.

He was a prefect, and he also worked as a conscript. He knew about the living conditions of the soldiers at the bottom. In his opinion, the first story was already euphemistic. In fact, when the main labor force of a family was expropriated, he would have a long way to go. It's more terrifying than Wife Ion Dispersion, and how long it can last depends on how much savings you have on weekdays. This is also the most worrying point of the soldiers, that is, they managed to escape the life-and-death contest on the battlefield, and returned to their hometown alive, only to find that their former home was nothing but a human being. The farmland was occupied and his wife was forcibly taken, but he had nothing to do with it. Redress grievances.

　　 As Hong Siqi expected, the first story resonated greatly among the captives. Dr. Cha said that when the protagonist returned to his hometown and found that his family had undergone drastic changes, there was even a low cry of crying. With the sad tune of the piano girl, the atmosphere was a little solidified, so he had to come forward to interrupt the narration on stage. , So as not to cause riots.
