Chapter 661 Momo's Birthday Event
Chapter 661 Momo's Birthday Event
The most important thing is that Si He and Yue Fuli will not stay in one place for too long, and it does not throw money every time it appears.
The probability of scattering money is half and half, and most of the time he would scatter a bag of copper coins to some poor people outside the city, instead of silver. After all, even if Si He had extra money, he would not squander it like this.
A money bag was hung by its mouth, and each bag contained several thousand copper coins, neither more nor less, so that it could scatter the coins in crowded places outside the city or in some villages it passed by.
Because Mo Mo's "treasure snake" is famous, whenever it goes out, it will attract people around it, who will bow to it from afar or kowtow to it directly.
Even without spending money, many people's attitudes towards it have begun to change. After all, it is indeed a very spiritual and rare large-sized snake.
Of course, people will be even more excited when they see a big money bag hanging from its mouth.
Wuwu also followed with a small bag of copper coins in his mouth, and walked past with Momo.
When the two guys bit open the purse, thousands of copper coins fell to the ground. In the eyes of the poor people, it was a lot of money. But because there were soldiers accompanying them, they did not dare to be too presumptuous. When the soldiers retreated, they rushed forward to pick up the copper coins on the ground.
This situation only stopped when autumn turned to winter and the two big guys went back to hibernate in the Xihe River.
Some people even moved their families to the vicinity of Xihe River, although they didn't know where it actually hibernated.
In this autumn and winter, Yue Fuli led the Yue army and captured some more territories in the south.
Now, they have occupied half of the Great Yan Kingdom. It was not until the beginning of spring that they temporarily stopped the conquest and consolidated the territory in their hands.
Because the expansion was too rapid and the situation was somewhat turbulent, we had to stop temporarily.
Si He followed Yue Fuli and traveled among the states, integrating the resources of the forces in his hands while guarding against the covetous eyes of neighboring countries.
For various reasons, neighboring countries did not launch an attack on the Great Yan Kingdom before, but now with Yue Fuli's rapid expansion of power, some of the places he occupied have also damaged their interests.
Previously, those state cities that bordered neighboring countries had some interests involved because they were secretly supported by neighboring countries. Now that Yue Fuli had captured these state cities and blocked these interests, the situation naturally became turbulent.
Therefore, in the following year, there was no further expansion of territory, and the focus was on stability, and the company also needed to recuperate.
There were some minor disturbances during this year, but they did not cause too much turmoil. Compared with the chaos in other places, Yue Fuli's territory seemed much more peaceful.
It was not until the beginning of the next spring that Si He and Yue Fuli went to Xihe again to pick up Mo Mo and Wu Wu as they did in previous years.
In the spring when flowers are blooming, an exciting news spreads.
One month later, on the seventh day, it is the birthday of 'Treasure Snake' Mo Mo. On that day, ten longevity pills will be given to seriously ill people who are destined to receive the gift, regardless of their status.
The location is Taiping Ridge outside Guang'an City in Zhongzhou.
Seriously ill people can enter Taipingling on the same day with their household registration certificate from Zhongzhou. Each seriously ill person can only bring two relatives with them to avoid too many people causing congestion and chaos.
Taipingling, once a battlefield, has vast and relatively flat terrain. The Yue army is stationed around it and can maintain order.
This is only limited to the people in Zhongzhou, but from the seventh day of the next month, it will be the turn of Qingzhou, Liangzhou and other places. It will be held once a month in a state capital, so that seriously ill people in every state under Yue Fuli's jurisdiction will have the opportunity to participate.
In the next five months, tents will be set up to distribute porridge on the seventh, eighth and ninth days of each month, and those in need can go out to receive some food so that people will not go hungry.
Once the news spread, it spread quickly to the surrounding cities as if it had wings. Even within a short period of time, several neighboring states heard about it, and then a large number of people flocked here.
Although this time it is restricted to the people of Zhongzhou and the household registration inspection will be stricter, some people with means and connections will still have a chance to get away with it.
People who held such thoughts, or simply wanted to see the excitement, all rushed to Zhongzhou.
This idea was also something Si He thought of on the spur of the moment and decided after discussing it with Yue Fuli.
Although the longevity pill has certain hazards, the current treatment effect is very good, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Of course, the most important thing is not to do good deeds out of mercy, but to make the situation in the jurisdiction more stable and cohesive.
Although this is indeed a bit unscrupulous, it is nothing compared to what other forces have done.
Therefore, the seventh day is also called the blessing day.
Since the longevity pill was very famous and Ruyuan Tower had stopped selling it, the ones circulating on the black market were basically sold privately by some generals of the Yue Family Army. Some generals had received several longevity pills for their contributions, so they sold one on the black market in exchange for a huge sum of money to improve their lives.
The longevity elixir was famous and priceless, and even ordinary people had heard of it, so even some bedridden people were hurriedly carried to Guang'an City by their families.
Therefore, before the beginning of the month, a lot of people gathered near Guang'an City. Nearly half of them were from poor families, so they had to sleep in the open air and settle in the mountains outside the city.
However, many aristocratic families in Zhongzhou participated in this charity activity to help the poor people, setting up tents outside the city to distribute porridge for ten days in advance.
The reason why the noble families were so active, besides wanting to make friends with the Yue family, was most importantly that anyone who participated in the ten-day porridge distribution event would have a chance to win a longevity pill.
The rules are somewhat similar to the previous sales of Ruyuan Building, but also slightly different.
Whenever ten noble families participated in distributing porridge, they would be able to draw a longevity pill based on their luck. If there were twenty families, they would be able to draw two pills, and so on.
Although the probability is ten to one and the possibility of winning the longevity pill is not very high, it is still many times higher than that of ordinary people.
You know, the number of people coming to Zhongzhou this time is very terrifying, at least tens of thousands of people.
And these tens of thousands of people can only get ten longevity pills, which is a very low probability that makes people feel depressed.
Moreover, although the ten to one probability of these aristocratic families is slightly lower than that of the previous Ruyuan Tower, Ruyuan Tower has long stopped selling longevity pills and they are difficult to buy on the black market, so they naturally will not miss this event.
Moreover, providing porridge in the tent also brought them good reputation. The money they spent on buying medicine in Ruyuan Building was no less than this.
If you calculate carefully, this is actually a pretty good deal. If you don't win, just consider it a good deed.
