Chapter 122: A Reshuffle of Jiangcheng

"Hmm! I'll handle this!" Jiang Jinshi nodded and said to the captains: "Go and notify every household, call them to gather here at the Jiangcheng gate. Don't force those who don't come, just notify them, don't trespass into private homes."

The captains nodded and each took their men to knock on doors in the streets and alleys to notify them.

Li Xinyue said slowly: "As long as changes are made slowly, the common people will eventually accept it."

Jiang Jinshi nodded. He knew that some people would choose to leave Jiangcheng, and there might even be quite a few such people, but as long as they were willing to stay, he believed that they would definitely feel fortunate for this choice in the future.

Nie Fengyun took people to knock on doors one by one, but did not get any response, and could even perceive that the doors were closed even tighter.

"Is anyone home? I'm here to notify you to go to the city gate. Our big boss has something to say!"

A family of four in the house hugged each other tightly, and when they heard the three words "big boss," they were so scared that they trembled.

It really was bandits entering the city! Would they be killed?

Nie Fengyun knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no movement, so he could only helplessly go to the next house.

Relatively speaking, Luo Feng was a bit smarter, neither saying bandits nor mentioning any big boss.

"Fellow villager! Don't be afraid, we are good people. Jiangcheng has changed its city lord now, everyone go to the city gate and see."

When Luo Feng said he was a good person, his face didn't even turn red, but there was still no movement in the house.

Such scenes happened everywhere in Jiangcheng. No one would believe a group of bandits, let alone take the initiative to go to the city gate.

Who knew what was waiting for them at the city gate!

Of course, no matter where, there were warriors who dared to be the first to eat crabs. First of all, from last night until now, except for some fighting sounds at the beginning, there were none later.

Secondly, their neighbors or others were not seen being wantonly killed, and even the people who came to knock on the door were very polite and did not trespass into private homes.

And the bandits near Jiangcheng, except for Yangguangzhai, there were no others, so the identity of the other party was not difficult to guess.

Combined with the previous rumors that joining Yangguangzhai could lead to eating well and drinking well, such remarks had not been circulating for a day or two. Anyway, they didn't have anything for others to covet, maybe they could take this opportunity to join Yangguangzhai?

Some people were afraid, worried about what Yangguangzhai would do to them, and naturally some people felt excited, thinking that this might be an opportunity, even if such people were only a very small part.

"Will anyone really come?" Yan Wu stood behind Jiang Jinshi, not holding much hope for this matter.

"They will! After all, rather than dragging it out like this, it's better to come and see what I actually want to do." Jiang Jinshi stood on the city wall, the sunlight clearly shining on his well-defined face.

Gradually, the bandits of Yangguangzhai all returned, with no one following behind them, and everyone just stared at each other.

Just as Luo Feng was about to say that everyone should go again, a very small group of people walked out of the small alley, and most of them were old people.

Then, some common people walked out from various places, but their eyes were filled with fear when they looked at the people of Yangguangzhai.

Jiang Jinshi waited for a while longer, looking at the less than one hundred common people under the city wall, he said: "Let me introduce myself first. I am the big boss of Yangguangzhai. Before becoming a bandit, I was a native of Da Jiang Cun."

Da Jiang Cun was not far from Jiangcheng, so everyone naturally knew it, but they were a bit surprised that the other party was actually a local.

Jiang Jinshi said this naturally to narrow the distance between each other. I am not some heinous thug; like you, I was once a common person.

"I want to say! The Jiangcheng County Magistrate is incompetent, and these officials don't treat us as human beings, so I couldn't bear it anymore. I stood up to speak for you and be the master for you!

I know you won't believe me, but it doesn't matter!

You can choose for yourselves. Those who want to leave Jiangcheng can sell their family property and leave! I guarantee that my Yangguangzhai people will never stop you and will never take the opportunity to rob you of your wealth.

If you choose to stay, then believe me, life in Jiangcheng will definitely flourish, and everyone will definitely be able to eat their fill.

Next, you have two days to consider. Two days later, those still in the city, I will assume you have chosen to stay. Since you stay, you must follow my rules, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone."

Jiang Jinshi only said this much, leaving more for the common people to choose for themselves.

He was not a qualified speaker; he couldn't say words that would excite and make people believe in him. He would only use actions to prove that what he said was not false.

The common people under the city wall looked at each other. That was it?

Looking at the meaning of the surrounding bandits, no one intended to make things difficult for them, which made them unable to see through why this bandit stronghold raided the city.

Soon, this news spread secretly throughout Jiangcheng, and the fact that these people returned safely made everyone's courage gradually begin to grow.

People began to walk on the streets, even if they were in a hurry, it was better than the silence of the morning.

The current difficulty facing the common people of Jiangcheng was that if they were asked to choose to believe in Yangguangzhai and stay, to be honest, it was impossible for them to believe.

But if they wanted to sell their family property and go to other cities, they had to have family property to sell!

People with silver could live very comfortably no matter where they went, but for most of the common people in Jiangcheng, leaving here and trying to settle down in other cities would be difficult!!

Just say one simple thing, where did those refugees at the city gate come from?

They might have come here because of war or other reasons, but when they were in their hometowns, their lives might not have been worse than those of the common people in Jiangcheng.

Once they chose to leave Jiangcheng, most people would be no different from refugees.

Just when everyone was still struggling, one person was already happily running in the city, telling his relatives and friends not to leave, the big boss of Yangguangzhai was a good person!

This person was the old man with the donkey cart who often helped Jiang Jinshi pull goods. Just now, he was one of the people who came out. He thought his old eyes were dim and he had misread, but he didn't expect that there were quite a few people he had seen in the crowd!

Besides Jiang Jinshi and Li Xinyue, he had seen Luo Feng when he pulled food to the cave, and he had also seen that strong woman. These people were all "good children."

Not only him, but also the noodle stall owner, who was far away, did not affect his recognition of Jiang Jinshi.

When his noodle stall was smashed, the other party took the initiative to stand up and help clean up, and also comforted him. Although it was just a small thing, he would choose to believe in the other party. Anyway, if he went to other cities, he would only live worse.

Most of the common people actually had no choice. The ones who really had a choice were those merchants. After all, they still had some silver in their hands. At worst, they could go to other cities and re-open a shop.

Shopkeeper Chen was one of them. After receiving the news, he didn't hesitate at all, closed his cloth shop, ordered the servant to pack up the goods, and prepared to leave Jiangcheng.

Are you kidding!

These bandits liked to slaughter merchants like them. In his view, Yangguangzhai would only be more vicious than the team leader's behavior. Staying behind was just waiting for the silver on his body to be squeezed dry.

"Master, the restaurant owner on the West Street said he invites you to discuss it together!"

When the servant passed this word, Shopkeeper Chen instinctively wanted to refuse. He was busy running away!

But after thinking about it, discussing it was fine. Ask them which city they were preparing to go to, and then everyone could take care of each other.

On the way to the West Street restaurant, Shopkeeper Chen suddenly saw Jiang Jinshi followed by a group of people walking toward the County Magistrate's mansion. The servant beside him hurriedly leaned over and said, "That is the big boss of Yangguangzhai."

The anxious look on Shopkeeper Chen's face disappeared, replaced by ecstasy. He hurriedly said to the servant, "Go back quickly and unload the cloth from the carriage."

"Ah? Master, we are not leaving?"

"Hahaha! You can leave if you want, I'm not leaving!" ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
