[MTL] I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Chapter 8

8. In Chapter 8,

everyone's mind is very complicated. Ming Yu gave them the last hope. Three or five years are not long. There is hope, which is given by the person in front of them, at least at this moment they are all grateful.

Ji You saw this scene from afar, and there was a gleam of interest in his eyes. Hey! Interesting, he has followed Duan Wang these days, and he has also learned more or less that this Duan Wang does not seem to be as stupid and disorderly as the rumors.

He rubbed his chin and thought, although he didn't know the rumors about Duan Wang outside would be so different. He has only thought of one sentence so far, he is wise and foolish, and with just a few words of his, he can easily resolve the grievances of the people under him, and even conquer people's hearts.

He narrowed his eyes to hide the look in his eyes. Everyone was fooled by Duan Wang. It seems that he should have informed General Xie of these things as soon as possible.

After solving the problem of anger in the team, it was almost time to reach Liangcheng, and after leaving a few dozen miles, I saw a crowd of people in front of Wuyangyang. The people who were sent out to inquire about the news quickly returned, saying that the prefect of Liangzhou, Mr. Liu, and the Liangzhou garrison, General Wei, came to meet King Duan.

Before Ming Yu refused their special trip to escort them, now Ming Yu and his party are about to arrive, they should come to meet them anyway. Otherwise, if King Duan came to confiscate the land, local officials such as them, regardless of their inquiries, could be convicted of contempt of imperial power if they were caught and participated in the previous book. This is a serious crime, and it is possible to loot the family and destroy the family. Therefore, officials from all over Liangzhou, large and small, came to greet him.

Ming Yu nodded, and put up a battle to greet him. He couldn't lose his courtesy here. No matter what, the lord's posture should still be maintained. Even if the order goes on, the team is rectified, the flags are raised, and the majesty of the prince is displayed, the spirit of the entire team has become different.

When the two sides met, it was inevitable to have some polite greetings. Ming Yu was at ease, with a smile on his face, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze. Of course, this also makes people who have heard the rumors puzzled. His Royal Highness Duan Wang is so handsome, why is he slandered like that? Therefore, seeing is believing, and hearing is false. This is a living example.

Ming Yu changed horses and was surrounded by Liu Zhifu and General Wei. He was new here and didn't know anything. He had this opportunity to get closer to them and to inquire about the situation in Liangcheng.

"His Royal Highness does not know that there are frequent wars in the borderlands, most of the fields have long been deserted, and the people's life is difficult. Many people have no food to eat, and a little surplus food is not enough for the barbarians to come and loot." Master Liu said. said.

This is the truth. Since he took office, it has been like this. The disasters in the borderlands are serious, and the accumulation is difficult to return. Although he tried his best to change people's livelihood, he was powerless, and he had spent a lot of effort to maintain the current situation.

He told the truth at this time, and also hoped that King Duan would know the suffering of the people. In the future, this Liangcheng and the surrounding area of ​​several hundred kilometers will be the domain of King Duan, and the population output of this land will also be counted as King Duan. If His Royal Highness King Duan could be considerate of the people, the people would still be able to live, but if they met a lord who only cared about himself, regardless of the life and death of the people and exploited the people, the people would be miserable, and they would have to peel off their skin even if they didn't die. If so, there is no way out.

Ming Yu nodded, the barbarians looting and attacking the autumn wind was indeed a headache, and the tragic situation they saw when they came was still as clear as yesterday. He turned his head to look at General Wei, "What can the General do for the invasion of small groups of foreign pirates? For example, to prevent them from invading, killing, looting, etc.?"

Upon hearing this, both of them sighed involuntarily. Sure enough, it is a royal family who is not familiar with the world. Such a naive question, I am afraid that no one present can ask it, right? At least when I understand everything here, I know that this is not something that can be prevented simply. If not, it will not be able to solve this problem after several generations.

Although General Wei sighed in his heart, he still replied respectfully: "Your Highness, the troubles of barbarians have existed since the founding of Dayan. Throughout the dynasties, there have been many people who have the ability to stand on the edge, but barbarians invaded. The problem has never been resolved, it is not that the ministers wait for nothing
