Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth
Chapter 5 Winning Over the Hearts of the People
Under Shen Moshen's orders, a group of wealthy and powerful men in Qingcheng were taken to Caishikou and publicly executed by firing squad.
When the local landlords and gentry who had been terrorizing the village were shot, the onlookers in Qingcheng applauded and cheered.
Some residents even spontaneously brought firecrackers to celebrate!
Ding!
Congratulations, host, on completing the D-level side quest – [Eliminating Harm for the People].
Task reward: [500 servings of sulfanilamide powder].
what!
Sulfonamide powder? That's good!
Sulfonamides are relatively good bactericides.
When soldiers fight in muddy areas, their wounds are prone to infection.
Applying sulfanilamide powder to wounds or administering oral sulfanilamide medications can significantly reduce the chances of soldiers getting infected.
Penicillin, sulfonamides, and morphine were collectively known as the three most important drugs during World War II.
After experiencing the benefits of completing the task, Shen Moshen immediately opened the system's task interface.
Soon, Shen Moshen saw the available executable tasks on the task interface.
According to the system introduction, the system will refresh random tasks from time to time, and the rewards for tasks of different difficulties will be different.
In addition, system tasks are divided into active tasks and passive tasks.
Active tasks require the host to select and accept them through the system task interface to trigger the completion conditions; while passive tasks do not require the host to accept them, and the task will be completed automatically if the host's behavior meets the task requirements.
Under normal circumstances, the rewards for proactive tasks are often better than those for passive tasks.
Shen Moshen had just completed a passive-type D-level side quest.
Immediately, Shen Moshen saw a D-level mission in the active mission bar: [The Will of the People].
Task requirement: Increase the support of the people of Qingcheng.
Task Rewards: [Penicillin x300 boxes], [Morphine x300 doses].
Increase the support of the people of Qingcheng...............
This shouldn't be too difficult, right?
With that in mind, Shen Moshen immediately chose to accept it.
It's a pity. If I had accepted this mission when those unscrupulous tycoons were being executed, I probably would have completed it immediately.
But it doesn't matter, isn't it just about winning over the people?
In today's chaotic world, winning over the hearts and minds of the people can be both difficult and easy.
Shen Moshen had already thought it through when he accepted the mission—hadn't he just wiped out all the landlords and gentry in Qingcheng?
Then we should distribute the land of these landlords and gentry according to the number of people in each household so that the people of Qingcheng can have land to cultivate and food to eat.
This one measure alone is guaranteed to make the people of Qingcheng, who are constantly hungry, extremely grateful to Shen Moshen.
Of course, the land was only allocated to them for cultivation; it didn't mean the land was given away directly.
Furthermore, the grain tax that is due still needs to be paid.
After all, Shen Moshen will have many more places to spend money in the future.
In this chaotic world, you absolutely cannot develop your own power without money.
After raiding the wealthy and powerful families of Qingcheng, Shen Moshen essentially made his first fortune since transmigrating.
Just do it.
The next day, Shen Moshen gathered a large number of people in front of the government office of Qingcheng County.
"I, Shen Moshen, am a soldier. In the past two years, I have only focused on training troops and neglected civilian affairs. I have basically not been involved in other matters!"
“However, from today onwards—as long as I, Shen Moshen, am here, I guarantee that the people of Qingcheng will be able to live and work in peace and contentment.”
"As everyone has seen, those unscrupulous landlords and gentry in Qingcheng have been executed on the spot!"
"I know that everyone has suffered terribly from the exploitation and harm inflicted by these bastards over the years."
"From this day forward, Qingcheng will absolutely not tolerate any bastards who wreak havoc on the local area! If there is one, I will wipe them out; if there are two, I will wipe them out!"
"I assure you all—as long as you abide by the law, the lives of the people of Qingcheng will definitely get better and better!"
"I, Shen Moshen, always keep my word."
Shen Moshen, holding a megaphone, announced to the people present: "I will distribute the land to everyone to cultivate, with each family allocating land according to the number of people in their household."
"Three days later, the county government will establish a special land allocation committee to distribute land to everyone according to the standards..."
"Long live Commander Shen!"
"Long live Commander Shen!!!"
Upon hearing the news of the land distribution, the people present immediately erupted in excitement.
The shouts of "Long live Commander Shen!" grew louder and louder!
Ding!
Congratulations, host, on completing the D-level mission [The Will of the People].
Rewards: 300 boxes of penicillin and 300 doses of morphine.
Just as Shen Moshen had predicted, the task of "The Will of the People" was completed very easily.
Penicillin is definitely a rare commodity.
Moreover, the price is very expensive.
It is said that penicillin was known as "soft gold" during World War II.
Its value is even more unbelievable—in 1945, penicillin cost as much as $25 per gram.
Someone once calculated that if you had 100 kilograms of penicillin, you could have traded it for five aircraft carriers back then!
This was just the price in 1945; a few years earlier, the price of penicillin was even more shockingly high.
Even if you have the money, it's hard to buy.
Therefore, as soon as Shen Moshen saw that the reward for the "Popular Will" mission was penicillin, he immediately accepted the mission without hesitation.
In retrospect, the so-called Super Domination System that Shen Moshen has gotten his hands on is quite reliable and conscientious.
At least this system doesn't have so many twists and turns; you don't need to figure out how to accumulate points or anything like that. You'll get rewards just by completing the corresponding tasks.
This spot is pretty good.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Moshen selected a group of new people from the county government to replace them.
The next steps were then arranged in detail.
There was no other way; the former magistrate of Qingcheng County and the heads of various departments of the county government all went to Zuimanlou yesterday.
These people are no different from those landlords and gentry.
Therefore, when they were publicly executed yesterday, these people were also killed by Shen Moshen.
As for the newcomers, Shen Moshen had already laid it all out in advance—anyone who dared to outwardly comply but inwardly defy the people, should think carefully about what happened to their predecessors....................
