Someone said: "The past is not necessary to mention. What is the overlord of the world? The era of the Eastern Emperor has passed today. Since the five countries attacked Qi, when has Qi been stronger? I heard that the King of Qi and the Queen of the Prime Minister were competing for each other every night, and there were many beauties accompanying each other. How could we care about our lives or death?"

No matter at any time, complaining about the country and rulers is the easiest to find resonance.

So after the complaint began, someone immediately responded: "That's right, I was originally a farmer outside the city, but since the Gaotang returned to Qi a few years ago, the King of Qi sent people to move all the families within a radius of hundreds of miles into the city, and from the farming property to the industrial property, all the land was occupied by the Tian nobles of the Qi State."

Someone said, "And the State of Zhao is one in ten taxes, but the State of Qi is one in eight taxes. In terms of taxes, it is much heavier than the State of Zhao. Moreover, in terms of the wealth of cultivated land, it is far less than that of Qi. The King of Qi collects taxes so heavily, but the profits of military and armor are far less than that of Zhao. In wars, it is even more...hey!" The words were full of dissatisfaction and ridicule.

After a few ridicule of Qi Guo, everyone seemed to have a lot better, so the topic began to change again.

"If you say this, it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a Zhao country's citizen."

"That's natural, and you don't think about it. Zhao State has always been expanding to the outside world over the past few years. Have you ever been beaten? It's naturally great to be a citizen of Zhao State."

"You are talking nonsense. Don't forget that there was a Battle in Handan last year."

"Hey, the Battle of Handan? You are afraid you don't know that in the Battle of Handan, King Zhao exchanged food with titles with the ministers and officials in order not to starve to death in the city. Do you ask you, if Gao Tang was also surrounded by Handan for several months, would King Qi follow the example of King Zhao?"

“…Of course, this won’t happen.”

"How could this King of Qi pay attention to our Guizhou leaders' lives or death?"

"I'm afraid we will be killed by then to donate grain for the defenders to eat."

So there was another condemnation against the ruling class of Qi State.

"…In this way, it would be better to be a Zhao person."

"That's natural. We, the leader of Guizhou, just need to live a peaceful life. No matter what King Zhao and Qi, he is all the kings. Don't rebel, rebellion will be dead."

"That's right, you haven't seen those who were killed in the market a few days ago. No one of them was secretly aroused the rebellion. Now they are all dead and dead. Besides, Zhao is the most powerful country in the world, and isn't it better than Qi?"

"That's right. If we become a member of Zhao, we will probably have fewer soldiers in the future."

When it comes to the benefits of Zhao State, the atmosphere suddenly becomes a little warmer again.

"Don't forget, Zhao State has the same military merit system as Qin State. If we join the Zhao army and behead and make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, we can be assigned to the land."

"Land? There is so much land in State Zhao?" Some people expressed doubts.

"Hey, this is what you don't know. Zhao State now seized Hedong from Qin State, destroyed Lin Hu and Hetao, and now defeated Qi State and got Gaotang. There is a lot of land! My eldest brother went shopping in Hedong County before New Year. When he came back, he told me that there was still a lot of land there that was no one to cultivate, many of which were upper fields, and the most time was Zhongtian!"

"Hey, no one is farmed in Uetian or Nakatian?" Many Qi people who were listening were shocked and asked quickly: "Why is this? Are those lands that are all the royal family of Zhao and ministers?"

"No, no, it's really because Zhao State has a sparse population, and there is still a lot of surplus after the land is allocated to those who have made meritorious contributions."

This finally ignited the passion of the people of Qi.

"The King of Qi ordered us to join the army, but we always only paid wages but not land. The State of Zhao actually made meritorious service and could we have land?"

The speaker swears: "That's natural. We have been neighbors for decades. What did you do? If you don't believe it, you will find out by yourself when you ask the Zhao officials in the city!"

As a result, the enthusiasm of the people of Zhongqian country became even higher.

"The State of Zhao is so good. I want to be a member of Zhao!"

"That's right. My two sons are all adults. Let them go and ask tomorrow to see if they can join Zhao's army!"

...

Similar dialogues are staged in many places in Gaotang City.

Before we knew it, the people's hearts in Gaotang City began to undergo a great change.

It is obviously not accidental that so many places suddenly appear at the same time to discuss the same thing.

The initiators and guides of these conversations are often locals in Gaotang City, but at the same time, they actually have an unknown secret identity, that is, the informant of the supervisor.

It is precisely through these informants that the supervisory guards can understand the situation in Gaotang City in just a few days.

Guide public opinion and people's hearts are actually the second task assigned by the supervisory guard.

Given the generous rewards in the first task, the informants were also very concerned about the implementation of the second task.

With the efforts of these local informants, the people's hearts and opinions in Gaotang City are quietly changing.
