"Huh?" The young man frowned. He waved his hand and was already on guard. If he really wanted to win both talents, then he would have to kill.
"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, I won't kill you, how can I get money if I kill you, not only will I not kill you, I will also give you work and fields, so that you won't starve to death !” The captain at the city gate said to Liu Mang and the others with a smile.
"Give us a field?" The young man was even more confused? The captain of the city gate knew at a glance that he was uneasy and kind, so he would give them the land so easily
"My lord, let's kill it." The man with the scar on the side said to the young man.
"No!" The young man shook his head, he tried his best not to do anything if he could, because this was considered "one of his own" anyway, and killing one of his own would make the enemy laugh.
"Then, my lord, let's reveal our identities." The man with the scar suggested again.
"Be safe and don't be impatient." The reason why the young man didn't want to do anything was because he was afraid that his identity would be exposed. Once his identity was exposed, he would never want to go back to Shouchun. He has to go back too, he still hasn't figured out how to face them in Shouchun. What's more, the young man looked at the people around him, and the words of the city gate captain, a few key words, made the young man think deeply, Tiandi? head? money? The young man seemed to have thought of something but wasn't sure yet.
"General, let me arrange my wife, and then go with the general." The young man said to the city gate captain over there.
"Go, go!" The captain of the city gate was still saving face, because he saw the wife mentioned by the young man over there. Although I can't see clearly the face is covered by the cloth. But you can also see the skin tone clearly. Black and yellow, this looks like only country women, and it is not in the eyes of his city gate captain at all. The ancients always regarded white as beauty, and they didn't have a healthy bronze color, because only women from rich families lived in a simple way, and as long as such women were not born with dark skin, they were Angelica.
The women of common people's families who show their faces will naturally be tanned by the sun for their livelihood, and they lose interest when they see this dark and oily complexion.
"Husband, I'll go with you!" said the woman with gauze covering her face.
"You stay here! I'll come back as soon as I go! What else can I do with the two of them protecting me!" The young man arranged for the woman and left with the city gate captain. "General, where are we going?" The young man couldn't help asking, because they were heading out of the city. After staying on the road for a while, people joined the team one after another.
"Of course I went to a good place!" The captain of the city gate was about to get the money, and the young man and the others were so cooperative, so he was naturally happy, and his attitude was a little better.
Soon a large camp appeared in front of the young man.
"Huh?" The camp was very large, but instead of soldiers, it was a group of ragged civilians. What is here again.
"Okay! It's here!" The captain of the city gate came down from the horse. Guo Yi took away the horses of the young man and others, and rode on the best horses. In a good mood, this bad horse was also let the captain of the city gate ride first.
"Hey, isn't this Captain Hao? What kind of wind brought Captain Hao here?" The captain of the city gate was surnamed Hao. Celebrity, originally a land rogue, likes to hang out in the city, causing trouble, and was often put in prison, but because he was familiar with some people in the Guo family, he was released after a short time. Later, because of Xinye The city has changed from Jingzhou to Yangzhou, so the original city gate guards were sent back by Jingzhou Liu Biao. Naturally, people in Xinye needed to be guarded again, so the prefect recruited troops locally. Hao Liu wanted to do this. He joined the Xinye garrison as a military payer, and it was originally not the Guo family's turn to make decisions in Xinye.
The Guo family was originally just a small gentry in Xinye City, whose family property was only a thousand dollars. The only high official in the family was Guo Yi, the county captain of a county under Xinye City. However, because Xinye belonged to Yangzhou, many gentry in Jingzhou moved away. After all Where is Liu Mang's original reputation? In Wancheng, he killed all the nobles.
So even though Yangzhou and Jingzhou were in an alliance at that time, most of the gentry withdrew from Xinye and went to Jingzhou.
This Guo family is just a small gentry. Originally, there was an official position in Xinye. If he left Xinye, no one would give him an official position in Jingzhou, so he had to stay in Xinye. Waiting for the arrangement of the new master.
It can be regarded as good luck that the Guo family's ancestral grave smoked, and most of the gentry left Xinye, which created a big power vacuum for Xinye.
Liu Qi, the prefect of Xinye, asked to send officials like Yangzhou Shouchun, but Xu Shu, the military commander in Yangzhou, did not have enough officials in Yangzhou. How could he send troops to fill Xinye? The grade has changed, from a small county county captain to the current school lieutenant in Xinye City, the Guo family's value has also doubled, and this Hao Liu is because of his relationship with the Guo family.
Only then did he change from a local ruffian to a city gate captain. His identity changed, but the nature of this local ruffian did not change.
"Where is the wind, it is natural to send money to you, Lao Xu!" For such an official who is younger than Hao Liu, Hao Liu is still respectful, because everyone is looking for money, right
"How much is it this time?" Lao Xu was also very happy to see Hao Liu, and he was naturally comfortable when someone gave him money.
"There are thirty-two men in total. As usual, you get 20%!" Hao Liu said as he got off his horse and pointed to the thirty-two men behind him.
"Twenty percent? Hehe, Captain Hao, this is not going to happen!" The old Xu shook his head.
"Isn't it always 20% in the past?" Hao Liu frowned and said, two floors are not too low, one person has three acres of land, thirty-two people is ninety-six acres of land, these two results are almost twenty acres of land , is already quite a lot. This is 20 acres of fertile land, which is worth a lot of money.
"The past can be compared with the present!" The old Xu said with his mouth curled. Before that, 20% or even 10% of old Xu would do it. That's because Xinye and Jingzhou are too close. When Jingzhou and Yangzhou are at war with each other, how can anyone want the land in Xinye? Everything is fine.
But now that the Yangzhou army has won the position of the overlord of the Yangtze River in a battle in the Yangtze River, how can Jingzhou fight the river before it is too late to protect itself, so these two achievements cannot be justified.
"Captain Hao. You know, we are risking beheading!" the old Xu continued.
"Okay, okay, tell me how much you want!" Hao Liu was very dissatisfied, the risk of beheading? If you were afraid, why did you go there earlier? If you want to kill him, you should be killed by a thousand knives, and this time is not bad.
"This number!" Old Xu smiled and stretched out five fingers.
"Wucheng, hehe, Lao Xu. Go and grab it!" Hao Liu laughed out of anger, Wucheng. If Lao Xu took 50% of it, Hao Liu went to drink the northwest wind.
"Then we have nothing to do!" Old Xu said to Hao Liu.
"Old Xu, we have done so many times, 50%, this is impossible! I don't believe that you, Old Xu, will not do business! How about 25%!"
"Forty-and-a-half percent!" Old Xu also lowered the overweight by one. Hao Liu was right, why not do business if there is business, and he, Old Xu, has no conflict with money.
"Thirty percent!" Hao Liu gritted his teeth and added.
"Forty percent!" Old Xu also lowered his request.
"Old Xu, thirty-five percent, if it's more, then this business doesn't matter." Hao Liu calmed down and said, if it was higher than thirty-five percent, he really wouldn't be able to make much money, instead of taking the risk of beheading , It’s better not to do it, but cutting people’s money is like killing parents, Hao Liu’s eyes have already shown a slight dissatisfaction, you old Xu cut off my money, he Hao Liu naturally has a way to curb the old Xu.
"Okay, okay, okay, in the face of Captain Hao, it's 35%!" Old Xu is not a muddleheaded person, he knows what it means to be a person who has more than enough success and more than failure. Hao Liu is such a character, you If you want to rely on him to do things, it is basically impossible, but if he wants to ruin your affairs, he can think of ways to ruin it.
So Lao Xu didn't want to offend Hao Liu too much. He also had to make money.
"Thirty-two people! Old Xu, you have a good look! Come and come to this general!" Hao Liu shouted to the people under his command.
The young man looked at the ragged civilians all around him with dull eyes, and walked towards Lao Xu under the push of Hao Liu's soldiers.
In front of Lao Xu is a desk, on which there are some book papers and a pen full of ink.
"What's your name, where are you from!" Old Xu opened a blank book and asked the first citizen who came.
"Little man, Gousheng, people from Yuzhou!" Old Xu asked and answered, and Lao Xu wrote the word Gousheng on the book paper, and people from Yuzhou looked at Gousheng and wrote He said, the black mole on the lower part of the lip and the eyes are big and lifeless, this is what Gou Sheng looks like now.
Old Xu has long been used to the name Gousheng. In troubled times, human life is humble, and people often don’t have enough to eat or die in wars. Therefore, in order to keep their offspring alive, the common people made some ugly names. Names such as Goudan, Gousheng, etc. are just to think about the name, which is cheap, so that God will not hang the curtain to take him to heaven (that is, to die).
The young man wanted to ask something, but no one answered him, and the people around the young man were all blank-eyed.
Soon it was in front of the young man.
"What's your name?" Old Xu asked.
"I, I!" The young man hesitated for a while, and after such a delay, Old Xu couldn't help raising his head, "I'm asking you something, what's your name!"
"My name is right! My surname is Han, and my name is Yang." The young man said to the old Xu.
"Han Yang?" Old Xu couldn't help but look twice more. Generally speaking, the people have a lot of low names, especially these refugees, there are a lot of leftovers, and a normal person suddenly appeared, and Old Xu was a little uncomfortable got used to. However, Lao Xu still wrote Han Yang, a native of Xuzhou.
"The next one!"
"My surname is Guan and my name is Hai! I am also from Xuzhou"
"My name is Zhou Cang! I'm with them!" Soon most of the people were registered, and under the command of Lao Xu, these individuals were put into the camp. There are many people in the camp. Counting carefully, there are thousands of people.
"There's another batch!" Looking at the young man and others entering. The people who had been in the camp long ago shook their heads involuntarily when they saw the young man and the others. They didn't know whether it was regret, gloating, or sympathy.
"Hey, I said uncle, what is going on here? Why are there so many people in this big camp?" The young man seized the opportunity to ask a question while Lao Xu was still registering. asked the people who had been in the camp for a long time.
"Big brother, don't call me uncle. I'm not a few years older than you! I'm only twenty seven this year," said the young man who was caught.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The young man was a little embarrassed. He really can't be considered an uncle at this age, but this looks a little anxious, but the young man can't take care of it anymore. "What's going on here, that old Xu? And these common people!"...
"Don't you know that you came here? That Mr. Xu gave you good land.!" The "uncle" explained.
"Dividing fertile land?"
"Aren't you from other places? As long as you enter the boundary of Yangzhou, you can use your head to declare to the Yangzhou government to obtain good land! One person is three acres of land." The uncle continued, and the young man knew what a head is.
"En!" The young man nodded, he remembered such a thing. In order to attract more people into Yangzhou. Because of the wanton squandering of his cheap father-in-law Yuan Shu, Yangzhou has long since changed from a wealthy place to a ten-room empty place. Therefore, in order to fill the vacancy of the people, he issued various policies to welcome the refugees into Yangzhou. One of the heads can be exchanged for three acres of land, and 30% of the tax can be paid. The tax policy is better than that of all states in the world. Over the years, Yangzhou has regained its popularity.
"Three acres of land per person, and you only need to pay 30% of the tax!" The man called the uncle was full of longing. But he shook his head again, "What a pity, what a pity!"
"Huh?" Looking at this uncle?*
