Chapter 488 Shanghe Village (2)
"Are you really willing to share the seeds?" Wang Qiang asked. If such food were in his hands...
But now Ji Xiaomu wants to give it to the villagers to grow it. They only need to pay public grain and can keep the rest of the grain for themselves.
What a great kindness this is! It takes a very broad mind to have such an awareness.
Ji Xiaomu glanced at Wang Qiang and asked, "Can I trust you?"
Wang Qiang was slightly stunned, and replied sternly, "I, Wang Qiang, will never betray you."
Ji Xiaowu nodded and said slowly, "You know the old emperor has passed away. I just said that if the princes want to take the throne, there will be a lot of blood and gore. Only the winner can become the emperor."
"Now the princes all have their own territories and are gathering their troops. We don't know when they will start fighting. My idea is to turn this city into an independent city before they start fighting. It will be independent and not be affected by the princes."
After hearing what Ji Xiaomu said, Wang Qiang was completely confused. He was just an ordinary foreman living in a small town. He was a commoner who used to build houses with his men to make a living. His mind could not accept such a huge amount of information all at once.
Ji Xiaomu did not urge him, but just waited for Wang Qiang to slowly accept the information and come back to his senses.
After a moment, Wang Qiang came back to his senses and looked at Ji Xiaowu with admiration and conviction. "How can ordinary people like us resist the attack of the army?"
Wang Qiang raised the doubts in his mind. He believed what Ji Xiaomu said, but he was also a rational person. How could he ensure that the egg would not break when he hit it against a stone?
"Fang Chen, come here." Ji Xiaowu nodded. She was not surprised by Wang Qiang's question. Instead, she felt that Wang Qiang was more trustworthy.
"What's wrong?" Fang Chen and others stood aside after Wang Qiang arrived and did not participate in the conversation between Wang Qiang and Ji Xiaomu. Suddenly, they heard Ji Xiaomu calling him and immediately walked over.
"This is my husband, he..." Ji Xiaomu introduced him to Wang Qiang.
Before Ji Xiaomu finished speaking, Wang Qiang knelt in front of Fang Chen.
"...He is a mighty general." As soon as Ji Xiaomu finished speaking, Wang Qiang's actions were faster than her words.
"Benefactor." Wang Qiang choked up when he saw Fang Chen.
Ji Xiao was slightly startled. What did she hear? She looked at Fang Chen. Fang Chen had no expression on his face, but Ji Xiao saw confusion in his eyes.
This guy doesn't know what's going on.
The two looked at each other, and Fang Chen gestured to Ji Xiaomu to ask.
"Do you know he is a mighty general?" asked Ji Xiaomu.
"I don't know if the general still remembers... Once when he was leading troops to suppress bandits, he rescued a disheveled man. The man's right hand was almost chopped off by the bandits. It was the general who rescued the man in time and saved his hand from being chopped off." After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he pulled down his sleeves, revealing the flush scar on his wrist.
"You are... Xiao Qiang?" Fang Chen had a vague impression in his mind.
A few years ago, bandits were rampant, so he asked Yang Hua and others to lead troops to suppress the bandits. During a raid on a bandit's den, he happened to see a bandit about to chop off a man's hand, so he rescued him. Under the man's leadership, they wiped out all the nearby bandit dens.
"It's me." Wang Qiang said with a smile. "I didn't expect that I would see the general again in my lifetime."
