"Sir, will these people really surrender?"
The girl in charge of counting was concentrating on counting while looking back and forth with suspicion at the refugees who were walking this way under the arrangement of their people.
There is no such thing as saying that you want to rob people, and once the conditions are stated, everyone is willing to stay.
It's just like child's play.
Even if these people are really willing to stay, don't they consider their character, ability, etc.
Moreover, they are rebelling. These people don't know about it yet. Once they know about it, they will definitely not want to stay.
"You are still too young."
Seeing so many people entering his tent, Ji Changze touched his non-existent beard with great satisfaction.
Looking at his subordinates' puzzled looks, he patiently explained:
"It doesn't matter whether you are sincere or not, as long as they are my people now."
If these people have land, they might have to find a way to make a splash.
When these refugees were recruited by him, they were starving to death in minutes.
I want a house but no house, I want land but no land.
They themselves knew clearly that even if they made it all the way to the capital, they would either be stopped outside or sent somewhere to start a new life.
Moving to a new place is not just a talk. A large number of people will die just walking there, and you may not be able to adapt to a new place after leaving your hometown.
Ji Changze gave them a way to survive, and anyone who wanted to live would desperately grab it.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to catch it.
"He has become my person, no matter if he wants it or not, I won't let him go anyway."
Listening to Ji Changze's unreasonable declaration, the girl only worried about one thing:
"Will those who want to leave but cannot leave become a disaster?"
"how could be?"
Ji Changze looked at her in surprise: "When I conquer the world, all the people will be my people. How can they harm me?"
Girl: “…”
She choked hard.
I think you are quite confident.
Ji Changze ignored her rich inner activities.
He is still looking at his future people with great concern:
"Bring out our big pot, boil some ginger soup for them to drink, divide them according to their age, and give priority to the elderly and children."
The girl didn't ask why she didn't take care of the young and strong first because she could better help them.
She finally discovered it.
The mind of the young master I follow is different from that of the predecessors who have struggled on the road to success in the past generations.
Others are focused on recruiting young and capable men.
Ji Changze is different.
He accepted all the men and women, old and young, and even though others sacrificed the old man first, he actually took good care of the old man.
If the seniors of the past generations saw this, they would definitely say that their young master has a lot of brains.
But looking at the old people who were sitting down tremblingly, and began to eat the noodle soup, their faces gradually showed a look of relief, and they kept saying thank you to their people.
The girl had to admit it again.
It's good that the young master has a lot of brains.
***
"Brother, what do you do? Why do you want to recruit so many people? Can the elderly and children also use it? What exactly do we do? Can someone as old as me do the work?"
Ji Changze took a nap, and when he walked to the main square, he saw the "very backbone" little man leading his soldiers and asking questions.
Now that refugees like them have joined, they are our own people. The fat and strong soldier looked helpless, and it was obvious that he had been pestering him for a long time.
"It's useless for you to ask me these things. I only know that what the elderly and children do is not hard work, it's very light. If there are elderly people or people with physical disabilities and illnesses in your family, don't worry. Not only will our young master not let them do it, If they live, they will have doctors treat them."
"Is the treatment so good?"
The little man's eyes became brighter and brighter, curiosity written all over his face:
"What about those who don't have family to work with? What do they do?"
"It's normal whether you have family or not. Stop pestering me. I need to go to the toilet."
The little man: "I happen to want to go to the toilet too, how about we talk while walking?"
Brother Bing: "..."
Ji Changze coughed lightly.
Brother Bing turned around and saw him. The expression on his face immediately turned respectful, and he quickly lowered his head: "Young Master."
"You go to the toilet, I told him."
Brother Bing showed an expression of honor and relief on his face. He quickly took off the little man's hand on his arm, turned around and ran towards the school ground.
Ji Changze didn't remind him that that's not the direction of the toilet. He just looked straight at the little man: "You are smart and should know that I don't need to trick you."
If nothing else, if they really had any evil intentions, they wouldn't rush down the hillside.
As long as they push rocks down the hillside and shoot arrows, they can still wipe out all these people, even if they are as small as the refugees.
A flattering smile appeared on the little man's face:
"Young Master Mingjian, it's not that I'm suspicious of anything, I just want to know what kind of work I want to do in the future. I feel close to such a kind man like the Master after just one glance. How could I think that the Master is deceiving us?"
The expression on Ji Changze's face improved visibly with his flattery.
The little man was delighted.
Sure enough, it is always right to be nice and obedient.
It seems that he successfully coaxed this young man, and the next step is to inquire...
Ji Changze: "Yes, what you said is quite pleasant. If you say a few more words, I would like to hear it."
The little man: "..."
"Again, let me say a few more words... Young Master, you are really a rescuer, uh... saving me is like fire or water, and what's more, you are the greatest good person in the world, a great good person."
Although he read some books, it didn't last long before his family suffered a disaster. It took him a long time to stumble out these few sentences.
Ji Changze looked back at the young man who was silently following him.
"Remember everything?"
The young man quickly took out a pen and paper from the bag he was carrying and began to write quickly and skillfully:
"On a cool day, x month xx, x year, the young master passed by Fengyang Mountain and saw some refugees dying. He felt compassion and led everyone to rescue them and take them in."
"Refugee..." he wrote, looking up at the little man: "What's your name?"
The little man whose mind was full of "passing by" and "a little bit" was suddenly asked, and he didn't react for a while. He was confused for a few seconds before he answered carefully:
"My name is He Ergou."
The young man was silent for a few seconds.
Then he pretended that he had not heard the word Ergou and continued to write furiously:
"He, a refugee, immediately thanked the young master and said that the young master is a good person in this world. He is like a god coming to the world to save people in need. The gratitude in his heart cannot be expressed in words. He bursts into tears and even speaks incoherently."
He Ergou: “…”
He watched helplessly as Ji Changze waved his hands with a satisfied look on his face: "Oh, yes, this is the effect. It's not bad. I spent many days training you in vain."
The young man nodded, then waved the charcoal pen in his hand:
"The young master sighed with a face, feeling ashamed that he was not worthy of such a high evaluation. This kind of character is truly a model for the world."
Seeing that he finished writing and quickly closed it and took it back, He Ergou swallowed.
"what are you writing?"
The young man looked dignified: "Can't you see? I'm writing a diary."
He Ergou: "... Diary???"
"Um."
After the young man replied with one word indifferently, he looked forward, as if he had entered a state of deep thought and would no longer pay attention to others.
However, Ji Changze, the protagonist in his diary, explained very kindly:
"It's like this. There is a high probability that what we are doing will be judged by future generations. In order to prevent future generations from not knowing the inside story and misunderstanding our actions, I specially asked him to write a diary for the convenience of future generations. "
He Ergou: “…”
Isn't this really a fake manual?
Ji Changze was very confident and waved to him: "Come on, come on, come on, patrol with me, and I'll tell you."
During the inspection, He Ergou cautiously expressed his doubts, perhaps because he saw that Ji Changze was quite kind.
Ji Changze was not angry as expected, and patted his thin shoulder:
"Don't think so. This is just a slight beautification at best. Everyone does it. I'm just learning from the successful experiences of my ancestors."
"Look at the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, he boasted that his mother dreamed that a white dragon entered her stomach the night before giving birth to him. Listen to his bragging. When he first got into trouble, the neighbors all exposed it, saying that his mother The night before I gave birth to him, I played leaf cards all night and didn’t sleep at all.”
He Ergou followed Ji Changze who was moving very quickly.
This is quite difficult.
After all, not everyone can walk as slowly as Ji Changze and still look so graceful.
"The founding emperor of the previous dynasty said that he got lost in a peach blossom forest, and there was an old immortal inside. The old immortal pointed at him and said, why did the real dragon emperor come in? He also invited him to drink a glass of wine. Waiting until the wine When he wakes up, he gets into trouble.
This exaggeration is even more exaggerated. Whose old god lives in a peach blossom forest? If he was really a real dragon emperor, how could he die on the bed? His death was so disgraceful, it really brought disgrace to the real dragon emperor's face. "
Ji Changze looked at He Ergou who was carefully slowing down and following him:
"Do you know what the True Dragon Emperor was called before he changed his name?"
He Ergou shook his head in confusion.
Ji Changze: "Jiang Daniu."
"Is it similar to your name? Nowadays, others only know that he is called Jiang Wu, the mighty emperor. Who knows that he has been called Jiang Daniu for twenty-four years?"
He Ergou stared in confusion as he listened, as if he understood something, but also as if he understood nothing.
But I also knew that Ji Changze must be telling him something by telling him so much.
So he thought hard for half a minute before carefully asking:
"Do you want to tell me not to listen to rumors, because no one knows whether these rumors are true or false?"
"No."
Ji Changze said: "I want to say that throughout the ages, no matter what you do, publicity is very important."
"Looking at you, you are quite talkative and thick-skinned. From now on, I will leave the work of the Publicity and Development Department to you.
You are not allowed to refuse. If you refuse, you will get nothing to eat. That’s it. "
Ji Changze was in a good mood after leaving his job of fooling people, humming a song and leaving with his hands behind his back.
Only He Ergou was left stunned for a while, and then his blood began to boil.
Publicity and Development Department... Although I don’t know what this does.
But is this also an errand? !
He originally just saw that everyone was really settled and wanted to try to find a job.
After all, although other people were also hungry and thin, but from his perspective, those tall, middle-aged men must have an easier time finding jobs than a skinny kid like him.
He didn't want to be left without a job, so he wanted to strike first.
Unexpectedly, I found it.
He Ergou was very happy.
At this moment, he still didn't know how Ji Changze had arranged for him to work with his mouth.
After accepting 7,000 refugees, Ji Changze was busy for more than a month before arranging all the people.
Those who couldn't go to the battlefield were assigned to farming, and those who couldn't do heavy work were assigned to do light work.
Children are divided into age categories: kindergarten for those under seven years old, and classes for those over seven years old.
Female soldiers are also being recruited. Although there are many people talking about it, there are really many people who have signed up.
After all, the reason why refugees are refugees is because their homes and fields are gone.
These female soldiers who signed up also lost their families.
Some are still young, have no worries, and have not been brainwashed for too long, some have children and want to get good treatment for their children, and some have great personalities.
Jiang Xinyan, who was still recovering from his illness, was very envious after hearing what Chunzhu said about the female soldiers practicing in armor.
She had never heard that women could serve as soldiers. It seemed that everyone had always assumed that only men could hold weapons.
"Chunzhu, I want to go too."
Jiang Xinyan is full of yearning.
But her body's foundation was damaged when she was forced to kneel in the palace, so she could only take good care of it.
Fortunately, he was young and the doctor Ji Changze found was really capable. He said that he would get better in just a few months.
Chunzhu didn't expect that the princess, who had always been very timid, actually wanted to become a female soldier. You know, when she knew that the prince-in-law was planning to cause trouble, the princess was so frightened that she had nightmares for several nights.
"Princess, you are weak. Female soldiers have to train. You can't bear it."
Jiang Xinyan was extra persistent this time.
"Nagaze said that I will take good care of my body, and I will be healthy by then. Now I am not a princess. Others can do it, so can I."
In the past few months, she had done countless firsts in her life.
Leaving the capital for the first time.
Going shopping for the first time.
Stepping on the snow for the first time.
For the first time, a doctor gave her good medical treatment.
For the first time... I knew that my husband was planning to rebel.
It stands to reason that she is a princess and her husband is plotting to overthrow her father's dynasty. She should have mixed emotions in her heart.
But maybe it's because her father has no fatherly love for her at all, maybe it's because she saw too many refugees, victims and poor people along the way, maybe it's because she knows a lot of news and sees clearly that even without her husband, this kingdom is falling. .
She actually accepted the news naturally.
But I also had nightmares for several nights.
Sometimes when she was a child, the fifth sister asked her to pick up a ball, but she couldn't find where the ball was. The fifth sister got angry and pushed her head into the water tank.
Sometimes it is the last time I see my mother. She is only in her early thirties, but her hair has already grown white strands.
She smiled gently at her, with tears in her eyes, but her smile was particularly brisk:
"It doesn't matter if you leave, go far away, and never come back."
Sometimes it was the scene where she fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment after not having a drop of water for two days. Nagasawa came in and picked her up. The palace attendant next to her was persuading:
"Princess is just kneeling down for a few days. Why should the Nine Consorts offend His Majesty? Now it's good, even you are implicated."
She was confused at the time and only heard Nagasawa say: "Husband and wife are one, and we should share weal and woe."
Now, Jiang Xinyan also took off the light bracelet on his wrist and said to Chunzhu who looked puzzled:
"Husband and wife are one body, sharing weal and woe, and I also want to share some of it."
She is still timid and still has nightmares, but Nagasawa is moving forward.
Ever since Jiang Xinyan was born, just like his mother, he was always the one left behind without a choice.
This time someone was willing to pull her forward, and she wanted to follow.
As soon as Jiang Xinyan recovered from her illness, she proposed to become a female soldier.
Ji Changze thought for a few seconds and finally agreed.
It’s good to be a female soldier. Although you will get a little tan, getting more exposure to the sun can also replenish calcium, which is good for your health.
Jiang Xinyan was only sixteen years old at this time. In modern times, at most he was in the first year of high school, he would have been in early military training.
Now there is chaos everywhere.
It's not that there are relatively powerful rebels. Ji Changze mingled among them and found out that the rebels on the left next door were called Qiyue Army, and the rebels on the right were called Qiyang Army.
Probably because he felt that Qi Yue was a very powerful competitor, and the sun was stronger than the moon, he chose such a name in order to overwhelm the opponent in terms of power.
Ji Changze found it quite lively.
He immediately followed the crowd and called Qixing Army.
Inexplicably, the other rebels seemed to call them Qi xx. Although they didn't know what it meant, they always felt that they looked very majestic.
The key point is that we are all rebels. You all call us "Qixi" and we don't. It looks like we are some kind of pheasant army.
So most of the remaining rebels also became Kaixx.
The rebel leader who called Qiyue Army was still confused at first.
He had no other meaning in the name. It was just that the village where he lived was called Qiyue Village.
Inexplicably, it went from being an exclusive trademark to being a common trademark.
Ji Changze didn't care about this.
He just blends in.
Among all the heroes, his army has the best reputation.
Qixing Army is particularly particular.
They did not attack the common people or rob them of their things. They even once passed by a village and found that the cows in the village had escaped. They politely helped drive them back and bought the chickens of the whole village before leaving.
This alone makes the people who are troubled by the rebels feel favorably.
Other Qixi came, the better ones only robbed, the bad ones even raped women, so now everyone is very skillful in hiding women and food in hidden places as soon as they hear the sound of a large number of footsteps.
As for finding the government
It would be better for the government not to come.
They are more powerful than those Qixi, and they are still wearing official cover, using the official banner. If you dare not to pay, it is illegal.
Compared with them, the Qixing Army, which did not take advantage of the common people but still spent money to buy things, stood out.
The other rebel teams were also jealous.
But there is no way, Qixing will make money.
When other armies rebelled, they would fight and fight. After conquering the area, they would loot it for a while, and then continue fighting.
Qixing was particularly different. They rebelled with a plan and premeditated selection of a city, then laid siege to the city, and attacked the bandits around the city every day (the world was in chaos, and there were more bandits).
While doing this, I didn't forget to water and fertilize the fields outside the city, and wait until all the bandits were cleared before making an announcement.
When they open the city gates, they don't harm any of the people.
If you don't open the city gate, you will have to force your way in, and everyone will suffer losses.
In that posture, it was as if he had protected the city he was interested in as his own.
The people inside were surrounded for many days, watching the vicious bandits being killed every day, and the fields outside the city were particularly well maintained.
People who had fields outside the city wanted to invest.
You said that if their home is gone, their land is gone, and it seems impossible to survive, then they will still resist when the rebels attack.
This house is good and the land is good, so why risk your life
Once the Qixing Army operates, most of the cities will be unable to withstand it.
Compared with the government, the people are more willing to believe that the Qixing Army has regarded them as their own people. If they don't open the city gate, even if the people riot and open it themselves, it is better for them to open it obediently.
After opening the city gate, Qixing Army began their magical operation.
Sell goods.
Yes, because everything is in chaos now, and there are robbers and thieves who are hiding ten steps away from home. The caravans are afraid to leave, and many supplies are naturally broken.
The army needs to fight everywhere.
Since he had to travel around anyway, Ji Changze would buy a bunch of cheap local goods every time he went to a new place, and then go to areas that were in urgent need of these goods and sell them at high prices.
After all, so many of them are marching forward in full force. When robbers come, it's not robbery, it's called delivering equipment.
Then, Ji Changze made a lot of money.
After this operation happened several times, other armies also wanted to imitate him, and he immediately changed the mode.
In which city does he sell which goods are the most expensive, which channel is the safest, and in which city the goods are the cheapest.
After making a lot of money from those armies, he made a lot of money again.
After everyone did this, business began to circulate again, and the prices of real estate and shops that Ji Changze had previously invested in various cities naturally rose.
At this time, other Qixi and businessmen realized that they were sending money to Ji Changze and that they still needed a stable local supply channel, so they began to buy shops and real estate everywhere.
As a result, Ji Changze made a lot of money again.
After such a series of operations, Qixing Army successfully became the most generous existence among a group of Qixing.
Everyone knows that Qixing Army is very rich.
They may not be very good at fighting, but they are willing to pay for the wives, children, and children of the soldiers. Even if someone is sacrificed, their relatives can still receive compensation.
There is even news recently that they are willing to give rice noodles to everyone who joins the army.
This is a huge temptation for some people who are almost unable to survive and are in urgent need of help.
Qixing Army has a large number of newcomers.
They successfully became the largest army in Qixi.
The other Qixings were greedy and felt very sad. They muttered that if the Qixing Army recruited so many people, no matter how much money they had, they would probably spend it all.
Once the army is poor, let's see how they can feed these people.
But it's sour, and those who should copy Qixing Army's methods should still be copied.
Recruit people and provide food.
If you have enough food, come quickly.
Qixing Army recruits a lot of people, right
They also recruit.
Even if we don’t exceed, we must not fall behind.
So Ji Changze, who stocked up on a large amount of food, rice and noodles.
Another big profit.
He counted the money and spread his hands helplessly:
"It's really strange. We are obviously in competition, but why do they spend so much time thinking about how to send me money every day?"
"There are indeed many good people in the world."
