In any case, these two villages must be subdued, let them report the real output, and do not covet their point, just to maximize the yield of their own planting space!

It's just that Zhao Hu quickly suppressed the thoughts in his heart, he only had sixty soldiers in his hands, and he didn't practice, it was possible to win if he went to Ganshu Village, but it was impossible to go to a mining village with five hundred people, so he had to train soldiers first.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu couldn't help but nodded, and looked at Wei Saburo who was kneeling again, this thing's eyes and speech are good, he is a talent.

How far is the fishing village from here? Zhao Hu asked.

"It's about ten miles down the river." Wei Saburo said.

"So if you live in a fishing village, is it convenient to come here to deal with the farmland?" Zhao Hu asked again.

"My lord, there is nothing convenient or inconvenient, we farmers walk, ten miles away, and when the farm is busy, we all temporarily live on the edge of the farmland." Wei Saburo cracked his mouth and laughed.

"Very well, then you go and take care of those people and follow my troops to the fishing village." Zhao Hu got up and said.

"Yes!" Wei Saburo shouted happily.

Zhao Hu's words made him, the leader in the shadows, a real leader, although he was in charge of dozens of old and young, but he was also the leader, right?

Zhao Hu's subordinates are all eye-catching. As soon as he saw Zhao Hu come out, he immediately began to assemble, pack his things, and after a while, he resumed his marching appearance again. And the dozens of old and young people were also led by Wei Saburo to the five young men, and began to pack their bags again, ready to follow the team.

It was already clear to them that they were going to settle in a fishing village ten miles away. Naturally, there is no opinion at all, and it is mixed in this year. The most feared thing is to break away from the masses, they were nervous when they were driven out of the village before, and Zhao Hu's reward didn't make them really settle down, but now Zhao Hu's order is delivered. They really set their minds down. What about fishing villages? It's also a village, and these people are still in charge of the farmland near the river, so they won't have any conflict of interest with the fishing village.

And Wei Saburo was even more excited, because it is conceivable that now the adult's territory has a fishing village, a tree village, a mining village, and there is one less field village, according to the custom, the lord will definitely unify all the farmland near the river, and then form a field village.

When the time comes, who else will be the leader of the village besides himself! So he's very motivated. Because of this, the head of the village who was ordered by the chief, even if he was not a samurai, was at the level of a clerk, and he could receive a sum of money every month, and his status was a mess in the village. Thinking about such a glorious future, how can Wei Saburo not be excited?

Because Zhao Hu's territory is on the other side of the river. And the wooden bridge that can cross the river is in the sphere of influence of Linhe Village, and Zhao Hu doesn't want to take care of the riverside hall. Naturally, he found a place where the river was relatively narrow and shallow, and asked his subordinates to cross the river and cut down a few trees to transport them, and built a simple wooden bridge, and then everyone crossed the bridge and went on the road like this.

To have to go to such trouble and cut down trees in other people's territory either requires prior consent and a fee, or you are an enemy. And Zhao Hu didn't want to take care of the Linhe Palace, and he was not an enemy, but an ally, so he naturally had to cross the river and cut down trees, because with the river as the boundary, all the land on the other side of the river to Donghai County belonged to Zhao Hu.

After crossing the river, the group walked down the river, during which Zhao Hu looked at dozens of his own people, but to Zhao Hu's disappointment, these people were all suitable for being farmers.

The ten-mile road was too simple for these people who were accustomed to walking all year round, and in a short time they had already seen a small village lying on a river bay, where seven or eight small wooden boats were moored, and more than a dozen bamboo rafts.

Looking at the river channel and seeing that the river surface had begun to expand, Zhao Hu couldn't help but look along the river, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and mutter: "Damn, this river without a name won't slowly get bigger and then reach the sea, right?" If that's the case, that's fun. ”

Seeing Zhao Hu's vote, the fishing village had already been on alert, a large number of fishermen with some sturdy figures, holding bamboo guns to block the entrance of the village, and several big men with samurai * knives stared at Zhao Hu and the others vigilantly.

Seeing that people were putting on a dry look, Zhao Hu's sixty soldiers, naturally, under the orders of their respective squads, escorted Zhao Hu with weapons one after another.

The peasants who were not protected by the soldiers were very accustomed to shrinking aside, they were all used to it, as long as they did not encounter perversions, as long as they did not send themselves to death, even if the peasants hid in the corner of the battlefield, no one would come to harm them, at most someone would come to loot their belongings and humiliate women, compared with the guys who killed people for no reason, such a thing is a normal phenomenon.

Wei Saburo naturally saw the opportunity, and immediately rushed out and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen of the fishing village, this is our new lord, Lord Zhao Hu, don't hurry up and come to visit!" ”

Perhaps the people of the fishing village have already figured out Zhao Hu's name and flag. Or maybe they found that there were several times more strong men holding weapons on Zhao Hu's side than them, so they took the opportunity to go down the steps, and those fishermen erected bamboo spears. And a few strong men with swords ran over in small steps.

The people on Zhao Hu's side were all shrewd, and the team had already put away their weapons by themselves without giving an order, and each of them came out with their heads held high and posing mightily. Zhao Hu's six direct subordinates were even more eager to prepare to set up curtains and other work, but when they saw that Zhao Hu was motionless, they had no choice but to surround Zhao Hu in a guard posture.

"Villain Yang Ming greets the lord!" The strong man, a few meters away, knelt to Zhao Hu on the ground, and the few strong men who followed him also knelt down without saying a word.

As for how to recognize Zhao Hulai? Come on, those guys with weapons are all clothes without badges, only Zhao Hu's clothes have the Ling family badge on them. I don't know who the lord is.

Zhao Hu asked the other party to get up very calmly and summoned the other party to him. While asking about the number of young and old people in the village, and finally let Wei Saburo and others live temporarily.

Regarding the previous questions, Yang Ming is all official words, that is, what Wei Saburo said, there are more than 120 people in the village, including more than 30 fishermen. There were no old people, just a few toddlers. As for fishing boats. It's clear at a glance where they all stop at the bend. As for the yield? Of course, it's vague, anyway, I patted my chest and promised to pay a thousand catties of raw fish a year.

And the matter of settling Wei Saburo and them, naturally agreed, Yang Ming is not a fool, he is a farmer, and he has no conflict of interest with his own fisherman, and the lord didn't say that it would be arranged for the time being, so it was naturally easy to arrange.

Zhao Hu raised his eyebrows, except for a few young children in this fishing village, all of them are young men and women of the same age, which is very unreasonable for a village. But Zhao Hu didn't say anything, it's amazing that these guys escaped from other places because of something. Anyway, they just pay tribute to themselves, and they don't need to care about anything else.

And the so-called tribute here is divided into direct village tribute and independent village tribute.

The tribute of the directly subordinate village is naturally to dedicate a few catties of the best rice in the village, or a golden carp, or a few catties of beautiful and delicious fruits. It's just a gift of something good.

And the tribute of the independent village is actually just a one-time payment of a year's tax.

In other words, as long as the fishing village guarantees the annual tribute of 1,000 catties of raw fish, Zhao Hu can no longer order the fishing village to pay people to do things, if you want them to do things, but they must be paid.

Like Wei Saburo and other farmers later formed directly under the village, it is according to the harvest to Zhao Hu six * four points, after the division, you have to send troops when the lord has an order, as for the number of troops, it depends on the lord's intentions. In the same way, when the peasants are slack, as long as the lord gives them food, as long as they are full, as long as they give, then these peasants have to work obediently for the lord, such as building roads, canals, castles, and so on.

Of course, Zhao Hu can also make the fishing village the same as the village directly under him, but the premise is that all the people in the fishing village must be subdued.

Therefore, now the fishing village recognizes Zhao Hu as the lord and pays tribute, but as long as Yang Ming is willing, the fishing village can fully declare independence, and then defect to Linhe Village, so that Zhao Hu and Linhe Hall have no problem going to war. Of course, if Zhao Hu wins at that time, then there will definitely be few living people in the fishing village.

Zhao Hu didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, anyway, as time went by, he would naturally know what the total harvest of the fishing village was, and he didn't want them to increase the amount of tribute, but he just wanted that after having accurate data, the small river in his own planting space could be transformed into the same aquatic product.

And Zhao Hu, a shrewd commodity, was introduced to the fishing village by Yang Ming, and naturally ordered his subordinates to pass on the order to the whole village: "Regardless of men, women, old and young, each person has two copper coins and one liter of rice, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for the lord." ”

As soon as this order came out, no matter what Yang Ming thought, he had to be very excited to thank him, and the other people in the fishing village naturally immediately lined up to receive the reward. Zhao Hu doesn't care about this reward, two pennies per person, and the reward for two villages is not consistent, one liter of rice per person, and it is also more than one stone. Now, although I don't have a few copper plates, I still have 60 stone of rice, which can definitely support the autumn harvest. Once the autumn harvest is over, hehe, then you can use it generously!
