Chapter 202 Main text
Chapter 202 Text Centralizing Power
"Then thank you Commander Wang for your generous donation for the people of Yishui County."
Li Jinshu followed Wang Duo's advice and took over the twenty carts of corn.
Although these twenty carts of rice grains are only a drop in the bucket for the huge Yishui County, time is tight and it is not easy for Lei Lei to raise these in one day.
And when everyone present heard that what they were least optimistic about, Governor Wang, was really the food they had been waiting for, and that he was willing to donate all the food to Yishui County, they immediately became excited.
But anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance, how could Wang Duo be so kind?
It’s not all because of Li Jinshu!
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Seeing that Li Jinshu seemed to have something to say, Tianyu shouted to everyone.
But they had already lost all their attention to the rice grains in front of them. They all looked at the rice grains eagerly and smacked their lips. Everyone had different opinions. Where could they stay quiet?
If it weren't for the presence of the royal guards and soldiers guarding the city, they might have been robbed by these hungry people long ago.
It has been more than ten days since the city was closed. The rich households in the city may still have some food left, but the ordinary people may have already run out of money and food in their homes.
Especially for those who are already in poverty, it is not easy for them to survive until today.
Li Jinshu stepped forward slowly, gave a salute to everyone, and said with a smile: "If you can trust me, I can guarantee that it will never be more than these twenty carts of corn, but the premise is that you can actively work hard in the following days.
Cooperate with the government."
After hearing this, everyone calmed down a little and listened carefully to Li Jinshu's speech.
After all, their lives are firmly in her hands. As long as they don't want to die, who can't look at her face?
Li Jinshu relied on Desolate City and had sufficient financial resources. Now, the Yishui County Prince and Yishui County Governor have also become her backers, giving them the greatest rights in the city.
With these, there will naturally be endless people willing to work for her.
In this way, Li Jinshu became a powerful figure in the city who combined financial resources, power, and manpower, and his influence should not be underestimated.
Even Li Chengzhi has to sell her three points of thin noodles now and dare not act rashly.
"Presumably everyone has no intention of rebellion. It's just that they were instigated by these Hu Guo's tricks and became confused. I believe that General Li will truthfully report back to His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness is a man who understands righteousness well.
It would be easy to blame you."
Putting aside whether they were willing to obey or not, Li Jinshu had not forgotten the riot that had just occurred.
So many people gathered to make trouble, and if we didn't find a reason for them to excuse themselves, it would be very bad if Li Chengzhi found out that she was helping these citizens, beat her up, and framed her as the person behind the scenes.
Therefore, Li Jinshu first calmed down everyone's emotions, and then asked Li Chengzhi with a crooked look: "You think so, General Li?"
Yes, how could they forget this!
Now that they have hope of survival, how can they still think about leaving the city?
Rather than leaving the city, it would be better to stay in the city and be protected by Li Jinshu!
But they just had a conflict with the soldiers guarding the city. I wonder if they will report it to the higher levels. If the superiors are blamed, what will they do?
"General, General Li! We, we were deceived by others, and it was all because of them that we were fooled!"
