Chapter 332
Chapter 332
For a time, the entire Kingdom of Flowers fell into a wave of public opinion.
Kota Khan is a crop merchant in the Kingdom of Flowers. Because of his ruthless vision, he started from scratch in a small rural area in the northern part of the Kingdom of Flowers. In the end, his family became huge and he was also a famous businessman in Abelai.
Today is another day to pay taxes to the government. As an agricultural tycoon, Kota Khan can use simple and easy-to-carry military rations processed as taxes in lieu of Bailey - and there will even be rewards from Bailey.
Especially in the past 15 years, Kota Khan has handed over 60.00% of his agricultural products to the state. It can be said that if it were not for Kota Khan, Feng Ma in the cabinet would not be able to manage logistics and government affairs, let alone the frontline war. I started a protracted war with Alex that lasted for more than ten or twenty years.
"It's Lord Kota Khan!" A young man with a yellow face and skinny face looked nervous. After seeing Kota Khan, he hurried up and told him everything he knew.
"What's wrong, Yassen, how did you become like this after not seeing me for a year?" Kota Khan also noticed that the atmosphere in the capital was a bit strange, "Did something happen in the capital?"
Yassen is an orphan from Arabia who works for people in the capital to survive. Since Kota Khan subsidizes these poor orphan children with food and even shelter every year, they respect Kota Khan very much and even directly address him as "sir."
"Sir, I have nothing to do, but something big has happened to the country!" Yasen's expression was solemn and his tone was trembling, "That Lord Wingo, who has a lot of troops, actually collaborated with the enemy and treason! The national power of the Kingdom of Flowers was brought down by him!"
"What? Who is spreading such rumors!" Kota Khan's first awareness after hearing this was that it was ridiculous!Very ridiculous!
"How could someone slander an important minister of a great country?" Kotahan thought of the panic-looking passers-by he had just seen. He didn't believe it at all. "This kind of thing is without fear and is simply ridiculous!"
"But it was the official government that released this news!" Yasen also couldn't believe it. "And a lot of text and pictures were published. I stole a dozen of them. Look!"
Yassen held up the yellowed paper page. Although the paper was yellowed, the ink on it was still wet, which meant that it had just been printed!
"how come?"
Kota Khan quickly flipped through the information, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"My food was actually thrown into the sea?" Kota Khan saw the news that he was most interested in. "Tens of thousands of soldiers starved to death in a long naval battle?"
"Lord Kota Khan, is this true?" Yassen looked worried. "That's General Wingo, who has an army of [-] people. Why would such a high-ranking man deceive us?"
"Outside the number! Outside the number!"
Suddenly, the streets of Abelai became noisy again, and they saw children who didn't know where they were running and scattered some newspapers.
"Extra! Extra! The national government was ousted by the enemy Alex, and the king was framed. Our country's hero, General Wingo, did meritorious service in resisting Alex, but he was slandered by the evil villain as a collaborator and treason!"
"Extra! Extra! Everyone, take action to surround the king's palace!"
"It's true, General Wingo was framed!" Yassen let out a long sigh, "Our government was actually ignored? That Alex can actually do this?"
Kota Khan calmed down, thinking about who was lying.
Kota Khan picked up the newspaper that the child had dropped just now, and found that it had old and dry handwriting on it. It looked as if it had been printed long ago - and the content on it was also very boring and monotonous. Detailed evidence to assist.
But do you still need help?
The king has long ignored this country, and Wingo has indeed been resisting foreign enemies on the battlefield, so there is no need for the people to defend who is right and who is wrong. They will only choose the side they trust and take sides.
"Let's go to the king's palace and have a look!" Yassen said to Kota Khan, "Let the government give us justice!"
"Things are not that simple..." Kota Khan pondered, and then said to Yassen, "You leave first, stay neutral, don't get close to the king's palace, and stay away with people you know."
"Why?" Yasen was a little reluctant.
"I believe more in the government's rhetoric!" Kota Khan is a wise man, and as a big entrepreneur, he also has contacts with senior state officials. He can judge that the reason behind this time explosion is definitely not that simple, "If it is true Even the government has been hollowed out, so isn’t it self-destructive to slander an important minister of a country in such an upright way?”
Yasen was speechless. He was not a stupid person. He didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Two completely different public opinions emerged in Abelai and spread outward at an alarming speed.
Due to the war, many places in the Kingdom of Flowers went bankrupt, so some thieves and bandits emerged. The existence of these bandits was a huge obstacle to domestic trade in the Kingdom of Flowers.
Only large landowners and entrepreneurs like Kota Khan can hire escorts to protect their products. If it were replaced by some small traders and light industries, then most of their results would be that they would be robbed completely, and then they would also Forced to take the road of stealing,
These thieves would also disguise themselves as ordinary citizens, and then enter the capital city of Abor to inquire about the news - after all, this is the center where all political leaders' orders are disseminated. If there is news that the bandits are to be encircled and suppressed, then they can also be the first to do so. Time to get the message and respond.
At this moment, the king's residence was completely surrounded. As the crowd gathered, more and more people were talking to each other, and there were even some people waving flags standing on high places to give speeches.
Because of the emergence of two kinds of remarks, there is actually a very obvious polarization here.
Some people waved the banner of "purging the government of darkness" and then promoted Wingo's innocence. As more and more people began to elaborate on Wingo's achievements in the wars over the years.
On the other side are people who firmly follow the government, but most of these people are officials or entrepreneurs with ties to the government.
In other words, there are actually far more people who support Wengo than those who support the government of the Kingdom of Flowers, and there are still many people who are moving towards Wengo's downfall.
The people's support is against them.
It can also be seen from this that the government of the Kingdom of Flowers has disappointed many people with its policy of inaction over the years.
Fortunately, there are still some officials and entrepreneurs who can control these people, otherwise there may not have been a large-scale rebel army outside the capital that began to resist the rule of the Government of the Kingdom of Flowers.
