"If you rob us, it's like robbing Heishuiguan. You should know the consequences, right?" The woman continued, "Why don't we meet each other by fate? A man is born in the world, and the first thing to do is to protect him." Jiaweiguo, if you join the army with us, we can talk to General Yang and give you a chance to make contributions."
Fifty bandits looked at each other, and then forty-nine looked at Dumb.
The woman laughed again: "Joining the army is naturally very dangerous, so you can also choose to join our Ling family firm as a guard, and you will be a righteous man."
Everyone in Tiedaomen looked at her.
The woman smiled and continued: "If you think this is too hard, you might as well follow us to Hedong Road. We have a lot of wasteland there. You are all strong and strong men. Cultivate dozens of acres of fertile land. , raising a family, marrying a wife and having children is not difficult. What do you think?"
The fifty bandits were all stupid.
No one spoke for a long time.
The woman sighed and said, "Hey, I know, it's too dangerous to join the army, it's too hard to be a guard, and you have to be tied up as a farmer. Sure enough, it's better to be a bandit. Find some soft bullies, and the money will come quickly." , you can do whatever you want.”
The forty-nine bandits nodded, and Sanhu's face was indeed dark, and he took a step back.
"But for your own good, I still hope that you will accept my proposal," the woman said with a smile, "If you don't accept my proposal, I'm afraid you will all die like this today. Everyone is asking for money, and life is precious, so lost , It’s such a pity. I’ll give you some time to think it through.”
Duhu was a little at a loss. Although he was not very smart, he also knew that the situation was not right. Not to mention those people from the Iron Sword Sect were staring at him, the most important thing was that he found that he could not move. He slashes the knife when he is talking, and someone talks nonsense to you when he is robbing, but there is a wall blocking him in front of him, and he can't move any more.
"I am willing to join the army." Sanhu shouted.
"Third, what are you doing?" Erhu hurriedly asked beside him.
"This girl is right. We men are not going to defend our home and country, but come to do this kind of thing. It's really contemptible. It's just that the girl and I are not bandits from the beginning, but we just can't survive. I just came here to beg for a meal, but if there is a way out, I will not fall to this point." Sanhu threw away the knife and said loudly.
Dahu was dumbfounded, but nodded unconsciously and said: "We just want to find something to eat. I, I will go to open up wasteland." Although it is said that being bandits is not hard or tiring and has no restrictions, they are not the kind of thugs. After all, they are still good citizens, as long as they have a safe place.
As soon as the two opened their mouths, the others started chattering and threw their weapons on the ground. In this way, there were ten people who were willing to join the army and forty people who opened up wasteland. Some originally wanted to be guards, but were rejected. Those iron knife gates stared, and went back to open up wasteland again.
After the matter was settled, Han Bian came over to take the laborers away first. It happened that a carriage broke down and the porter was missing.
Ling Qingyu got into the carriage honestly, seeing that Yan San was still looking at him with a face of disapproval, and unconsciously said: "Don't be angry, I really don't think they are that kind of bad people, if they are really bad people, I will definitely not block you , I must hide behind you." The clothes are so tattered, it looks like they haven't eaten for a long time, although they are holding knives, they are covered with rust, and those people don't really have the ruthlessness to kill.
Yan San saw her lying on the bed in the car, put a thin quilt on her, and said: "You just need to know, if something happens to you, don't mention me, Yan Qiying, two shadows, nine shadows, ten shadows, thirteen, they will all be together." If you can't live, you can do it." Although it is true as she said, although this group of people has kung fu, they are not the kind of people who are treacherous and evil, otherwise they would not say a word and kill people directly. Moreover, he used internal force to stop them just now. That big tiger's attack was also because he had no killing intent, otherwise it would be impossible for him to fail to chop it down with his skill.
"Understood, I will pay attention next time." Ling Qingyu shrank into the quilt and said. In fact, facing the big knife, although it is rusty, it is also a knife, and it is somewhat stressful, but she dared to do it because she knew that if something went wrong, this man would definitely stand in front of her, no Fearing life and death to protect her.
But, am I being too arrogant? Ling Qingyu began to reflect on himself, well, don't be so bold in the future, after all, Dazhou is different from those places outside the episode, there are mountains as high as mountains! Hidden dragon and crouching tiger, I am a soft-footed shrimp, if something happens, I still have to rely on Yan San and the others. If I meet someone like Da Neng, wouldn't it be that Qing's life was killed in vain
"What are you thinking about?" Looking at her expression, she knew that her head was wandering somewhere, Yan San made a cup of hot water for her, and said.
"I'm thinking that silver is the king, and keeping a low profile is the best." Ling Yu got up to take the water, and said very seriously.
Out of the Taihang Mountains, there are plains all the way, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness between the land.
East Road is mostly mountainous, and the plains are concentrated between these two mountains. Seeing that there are many wastelands on both sides, Ling Qingyu asked Han Bian who was sitting in her car drinking tea: "Brother Han, I see that there are many wastelands on both sides. Why?"
"There was a disaster a few years ago, and many people went to other places. Now there are many wars, and they dare not come back. The fields here are desolate, but it is better than Shaanxi Road." After drinking tea, Han Bian said.
"So." Nodding, Ling Qingyu turned to look at the scenery outside again.
"Master Han bought most of the land here from Guanzhuang, but the imperial court actually has a reclamation order. If the wasteland is reclaimed, it can become permanent land. Have you ever thought about recruiting people to reclaim the wasteland?" Han Bian asked. After seeing her flicker bandit, this idea became more and more certain. The seeds brought back by Ling Qingyu this time are very suitable for the land conditions here. Shaanxi Road is sparsely populated and barren, and East Road has many mountains and less rain. And rice fields, there will be problems in terms of yield. A family of five has to plant 15 mu of land to make ends meet. And if according to what the master said, the yield per mu of that kind of potatoes and sweet potatoes can reach thousands or even two thousand catties, then...
"Well, I've thought about this too. Brother Han, look at this. We export grain, farm tools, and seeds. One-third of the reclaimed wasteland belongs to them and two-thirds to us. In this way, we can recruit people. Can you find it?" Ling Qingyu asked, coming back this time, not only brought back a large amount of armaments, but also a lot of farm tools, those farm tools made of fine steel are not available in Dazhou, but they are very suitable for land reclamation.
"Of course." Han Bian nodded. In the early days of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was a great talent, but unfortunately he died early. His son was raised by a harem woman, and the subsequent generations only knew how to be content with the status quo. Both agriculture and commerce have given strong support to develop, and the population has also increased sharply. However, over the years, land mergers have been severe, and famines have continued, and more and more farmers have been lost. Although the court has insightful people repeatedly They advocate the reclamation of wasteland, but those poor people have no surplus, no surplus food, how can they afford to go far away from home to reclaim wasteland! The head of the family said that providing rations, seeds and farm tools solved their fundamental problem. I am afraid that once they start recruiting, there will be too many people.
"This is a big project, Brother Han, do you have enough manpower?"
"Well, there is a shortage of manpower. I may need to borrow a few people from Brother Cai to use them. Although I already have some tasks under me, I can't move them for the time being."
Hey, Ling Yu sighed inwardly. Unfortunately, Zhu Weili couldn't come back. She went to find out the news. Although it has been so many years since the matter of the King of Chu, the reward order for the three of them has not been revoked. It is estimated that these three people must have been He made a mint for the king of Chu, so he is still being chased. She set off for Huai'an, and Ding Dong drove the Fengshen back to Quanzhou. After staying in Quanzhou for a while, he would travel to Korea and Japan. Ling Yu asked him to import sulfur from Japan and send it to Lingjia Village to start researching gunpowder.
Han Bian looked at her pensive look, and unconsciously exchanged glances with Yan San. She lived a quiet life these days, and such a person who likes novelty actually stayed in the carriage honestly, passing through the city just followed It is really unimaginable that the large army eats without breaking the rules at all.
"Brother Han, how about you marrying Su Ce's younger sister?" Ling Qingyu's sudden words made Han Bian almost spit out the tea.
"Cough cough cough, what is Su Ce's younger sister?" Han Bian came to his senses and said, "Ah, you said Miss Su, the head of the family is joking. The Su family is a scholarly family and a pillar of cleanliness. How could they marry their daughter to me?" Such people."
"Why don't you go and get a champion too." Ling Qingyu moved closer to him and said with a smile.
"Well, although there is no problem for Mr. Han to be the champion, but you really want Mr. Han to go back to study?" Han Bian said with a smile.
"That's right." Ling Qingyu shrank back again, so who will do such a mess
"The head of the family, Han Zhizhi is not in the official career." Looking at the vast and desolate wilderness outside, Han Bian said slowly.
"Is Taiyuan in front?" Ling Qingyu asked looking at the city gate that appeared in the distance.
"Yes, the head of the house wants to go in for a stroll?" Han Bian looked out the window, and when it was almost time for dinner, he was about to get out of the car and order to stop for dinner, and asked back.
"No, go around."
Han Bian nodded with a smile, got out of the car and left. The grain team was too large, and the most important thing was that there was a lot of military equipment in it. Although there were customs clearance documents, it was better to avoid trouble as much as possible.
"Let's go back and play after the things are delivered." Yan San cleared away Han Xin's teacup and said.
"Don't worry, I want to see the mountains here first. Spring will begin soon, and the seeds I brought should be planted." Ling Qingyu leaned on the cushion and brought back a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn from America. For the seeds, some were kept in Lingjia Village and Hangzhou, and the others were brought over. If the situation is good, it will be effective this year.
