Chapter 131: Becoming Famous
Won't you be lazy and run away? You must know that this kind of work is not city building, it is all labor that does not require payment! Usually call the farmers to work at home, and if you don't pay close attention, these fools will be lazy and even run away!
Why do you want to give money and food to build a city? It's just that they are afraid that they will be lazy and make the infrastructure bad and rework, and even if they behead the lazy fools, it will be a waste of money and time, so the default rule is that all other jobs belong to labor, but the work of building a city is paid.
In fact, where did they think it was so simple, although Zhao Hu promised to release these captives after the castle was built and other facilities were repaired. But it didn't let them not only not run away when they lacked control, but also worked hard.
And the reason is that in addition to the deterrent power of the Shenlong soldiers with the awesome record of 500 people defeating 10,000 people, the more important thing is that Zhao Hu, who is not short of food, directly gives the captives three meals to enjoy the treatment of the Zhao family.
Well. Of course, there are very simple three meals, thin porridge for breakfast, dried soup with kelp radish and dry rice in the middle and evening, and there is no big fish and meat for the soldiers. But this full three-meal treatment was enough to make all the captives drool and not leave.
And what is the reason for them to work hard? It's very simple, don't look at the only soldier who is lazily staying on the side. But he will decide who is hungry and who is not hard. Lazy or something, after the roll call, I don't have to eat the lunch at noon, if I make trouble. It's even more starving for a day.
In the face of such a punishment, there is absolutely no one in this world who will be lazy and make trouble.
And the dragon warriors who hold this right can be regarded as a welfare, not to mention bullying men and women, turning a blind eye is enough to make the captives under his jurisdiction slap him to the death, if such a soldier is willing to save one and a half of the dried fish he eats, there will definitely be a good-looking strong woman crawling over and waiting for a night at night. Therefore, holding such a position is definitely not a meritorious service. But it's also a post that the soldiers take turns to come.
Afterwards, after Zhao Hu ordered the release of the captives, these soldiers guarding the captives were all married!
You can't get information with your own eyes, and you can't use your mouth and ears to get information. Because most of the young men and women in the township have become captives and are all pressed to work, where will they, the outsiders, have the opportunity to go forward to find out information?
They had no choice but to sneak into the countryside, which could have found out a little news, but most of them were rumors, and ninety-nine percent of them were biased towards the Zhao family.
After all, the people who stayed in the territory were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they didn't know what was going on the battlefield. They still arrived at the reception of the Zhao family, only to know that the huge coalition army had actually been destroyed! Second? Zhao Hu took pity on these old and weak people who had lost their youth, the weak and the sick, and gave relief food very generously.
Of course, it was not for nothing, let these old, weak, sick and disabled people receive cloth, needlework, scissors, dyes and the like from the logistics documents, and specially make flags and samurai uniforms for the Shenlong Army. After handing over the things, not only can you eat relief food, but you can also have a few pennies in payment.
Similarly, a little effort is to weave bamboo armor, and a set can also be exchanged for a few pennies. Although Zhao Hu is not happy with the weakness of these bamboo armors, it is always good to be prepared, maybe one day he will be forced to mobilize, and when the bamboo armor is distributed, he will immediately be a fully equipped peasant army.
Therefore, after enjoying so many benefits, when his relatives are still captives, it is impossible to let these old, weak, sick and disabled people speak ill of the Zhao family.
The spies who did not give up naturally shifted their targets to the surviving families, and those who were kept Zhixing, but were forced to become vassals of the Zhao family, were too lazy to take care of them, and directly looked for those families who were stripped of half of Zhixing and were also forced to surrender to the Zhao family.
As a result, they were still disappointed, because whether it was the family that maintained Zhixing or the family that was deprived of half of Zhixing, they were all summoned to Da Zhao Hu's side, and they were on the side to listen to orders at any time.
The spies were a little stunned by this, although they couldn't see the side of these surviving families, but the attendant families of these surviving families showed their mentality to them.
That is, these guys are actually happy one by one, thinking that their lord was summoned by the main hall to wait, which is definitely the meaning of the Zhao family's value of their lord! It is also the meaning that the Zhao family really began to rule Tianlan Township!
This incredible understanding directly stunned the spies, but soon they reacted, feeling that these turtles were very aggrieved before, not to mention participating in the military and political affairs of the nominal lord Ling family, that is, the actual boss, and the military and political affairs of the five major forces in Tianlan Township did not need them to participate in before.
And what can the turtles do at home? Practicing martial arts and sleeping women to give birth to children and farming, there is no feeling of samurai participating in the military and politics of the world at all, obviously Zhao Hu actually recruited them all to his side, let them listen to the military and political affairs of the Zhao family, and if there is a task, they are directly assigned to them, do you say they are happy or not!
After perceiving this, all the spies sighed, there is no help, the entire Tianlan Township, etc., is actually inclined to just ravage Tianlan Township, and it is the Zhao family that has only risen for half a year! I really don't know how the Zhao family did it!
It's just that Tianlan Township is so stable, can't these spies just go back empty-handed? I came here by myself to prepare to stir up trouble and let Tianlan Township continue to be turbulent!
The helpless spies naturally will not give up and continue to work hard to disturb Tianlan Township. After discovering that the people and vassals were strangely inclined to the Zhao family, they naturally targeted the Zhao family's own samurai.
After all, in their opinion, the warriors of the Zhao family are all ronins and idlers recruited from Lingjia Town, and their loyalty is definitely not very deep! As long as you show off your own family and leave behind high-ranking officials to seduce you, you will definitely be able to hook up with several men!
It's just that these spies dressed up as all kinds of characters to seduce Zhao Hu's subordinates didn't know that at this moment, the loyalty of Zhao Hu's retainers was greatly improved, and everyone's morale was flourishing.
Other families or don't care about the property, beauty, horses, swords, armor and other items, and will definitely be very generous to reward these things to the subordinates who have established meritorious deeds, but when they encounter a land that can be passed on to their children and grandchildren, they are stingy to the point that they don't know what kind of extent, the territory is small, they can't wait to be rewarded with one stone, and the big one is eager to be rewarded with ten stones and ten stones, that is, the guy at the level of the lord of the country is willing to be rewarded with a hundred stones and a hundred stones.
This is not surprising, because land is the foundation of everything, and the samurai have been fighting for so long, isn't it the land that they are fighting for? You must know that it is easy to give away this land, but it is extremely difficult to collect it, unless it is exterminated by the enemy!
However, in this samurai world, the ancient family naturally has powerful warriors, and it is difficult for a powerful samurai to be destroyed. Also, in these years, the family is really willing to do anything in order to preserve their land, and it is absolutely customary to surrender when they notice that the limelight is wrong.
And under the rule that you can't refuse to surrender, surrender before the war can't deprive Zhixing, and surrender after the war can't deprive half of Zhixing, few families will be directly turned into wanderers! Oh, and that's talking about the family, not the samurai, and the difference between the two is huge.
For example, if the family is deprived of half of his knowledge and deeds, it is naturally impossible for him to directly hand over half of his direct collar. Instead, he first deprived the Zhixing samurai who were not important or capable in his family and handed them over, and only when the number was not enough did he cut off his own Zhixing.
So that's how a lot of ronins are generated. If you really want to talk about it, it's not in accordance with the rules either. But the vast majority of such Zhixing warriors are not allowed to put up flags, and they have no independent qualifications to serve the lord, and it is also a matter of course to dedicate their own Zhixing to ensure the strength of the master's family!
And it's still like a worldly reward! Therefore, these hard-pressed Zhixing warriors, when their own lord was deprived of Zhixing, could only endure the pain, and dedicate Zhixing to relieve the worries of the Lord's family with a righteous and awe-inspiring look on their faces. Then under the commendation of the main family, ranging from dozens of dollars to several dollars, he became a ronin sadly.
And what about Zhao Hu? His goal is to unify this world, kill all the Black Flame warriors in this world, and even more so to kill the Black Flame Taoist Temple at the root of Black Flame, he needs a lot of awesome manpower and a very loud good reputation to help, and he also knows that as long as he completes the task by himself, he will definitely leave this world, so the land or something is useless for him, after all, the resources brought by the land, there is no scarcity at all with the existence of a golden finger!
So Zhao Hu is very, very generous, according to secular rules, he only rewards one stone for knowing and doing, and he rewards two stones! The reward is ten stones, and twenty stones are given! One hundred stones of Zhixing. A direct prize of 200 stones!
Damn, this is absolutely generous and has nothing else in the world! For samurai, what money, beautiful horses, treasure swords, and armor are floating clouds! The only thing that can be equal to the root of life* is the land. Only knowledge and action! Using numbers to show it, including Wang Yong's goods, the loyalty of Zhao Hu's retainers at this moment is directly off the charts!
Therefore, those spies who intended to hook up with Zhao Hu's retainers were unlucky, and one after another the samurai who were hooked up were directly captured and sent to Zhao Hu on the spot, and Zhao Hu was not used to killing and wasting, and directly turned to the pariahs and gave the samurai to capture and give away people as slaves!
