In addition to the displaced people, Zhuangzi also gathered nearly a thousand villagers from Loufan Town.

Originally, there were more than 400 households and a population of more than 2,000 in Loufan Town, but after a severe drought in recent years, there are now less than 300 households left, with a population of about 1,560.

Except for the dilapidated Wang family and a few middle households who also own farmland, the rest of the families are all tenants or the village households of the king of Ninghua, of which there are nearly 200 tenants of the Meng family, in addition, the villagers in the town have more or less worked for the Meng family as part-time or busy workers.

As for the long-term workers...... has been living in Zhuangshang, Bashanhu and others died when they attacked Zhuangzi, and the rest all voted for Bashanhu and Li Biaofeng.

On the day when Wang Jizong sent grain, Qin Chuan told the tenants that there was still grain in Mengjiazhuang, and there would be newly bought grain delivered in the next few days.

Qin Chuan asked Song Zhiting to take people to call all the tenants of the Meng family, mainly to gather people, show their faces, and say a few words to appease people's hearts, so that the tenants knew that he, Qin Chuan, was the new chief steward of the Meng family, and what he said was more effective than that of Master Meng.

The process of calling people was quite difficult, Song Zhiting went to the homes of some tenants of the Meng family and told them that today Mengjiazhuang would provide a bowl of yellow rice porridge and a bowl of broth to all the tenants of the village, thinking that they would flock to it, but no one moved, and those tenants all looked numb and looked at Song Zhiting like monsters.

When Song Zhiting came back to report, Qin Chuan was still a little puzzled, those tenants couldn't eat enough, and they were not interested in broth?

This is very unreasonable.

Later, after Song Zhiting woke up on the side, Qin Chuan suddenly realized that Meng Guiming's family had been manipulating the township all the year round, bullying men and women, and occupying thousands of acres of fertile land by various means.

The villagers of Lou Fan Town have always hated the Meng family, but they are forced to work for the Meng family because of their livelihood, and in their opinion, the Meng family is not even willing to give meat when they are busy with farming, how can they give meat soup at this time.

Even if Qin Chuan wanted to distribute all the thousands of stones of grain to the villagers, it is estimated that few people would believe it, unless it was forced into their hands.

In addition, there was a big battle with the officers and soldiers of Ninghua Qianhu last night, and the villagers in the town couldn't figure out where the people in Mengjiazhuang came from, so they were a little afraid, so they naturally didn't dare to come.

In desperation, Qin Chuan had no choice but to wave his hand, and more than thirty old bandits from Jiuji Mountain rushed into the town with knives in a murderous manner.

This trick worked very well, and under the persecution of the bright long knives and the fierce gods of those old bandits, nearly a thousand villagers, men and women, old and young, obediently came.

When they arrived outside the village, after smelling the strong smell of meat, those villagers were also like rogues, licking their saliva and stretching their necks to look inside.

When everyone arrived, Qin Chuan carried Meng Guiming to the upper floor and stood side by side with him behind the wall battlement, so that the people below could see Meng Guiming.

"Listen to it all."

Qin Chuan shouted, and the villagers and homeless people below who were more than a thousand eyes looked at him one after another.

"My name is Qin Chuan, I am a distant relative of Master Meng, from today on, I am the chief steward of this Mengjiazhuang, what I say is what Master Meng says, you can not listen to Master Meng, but you must listen to me."

"If I tell you to go east, you are not allowed to go west, and let you plant wheat, and you will not sow millet, do you hear clearly?"

Hearing his words, the villagers below looked at each other, they had never seen this person, nor had they seen the group of fierce and vicious men who looked like bandits, they didn't know where they came from, and they became the stewards of Mengjiazhuang in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, just casually popped up, and now he even let the villagers listen to him, and said that we are not allowed to go east to west, and we are not his family's long-term workers, let alone his family's maids, why listen to him?

"From now on, if anyone wants to do it against Lao Tzu...... It's best to ask him first if his neck is hard, or if Lao Tzu's knife is hard. ”

Seeing that the people below didn't respond, Qin Chuan shouted a few more words, and then took out a long knife and placed it on the wall.

For this group of poor people who are tormented by life and the gentry to the point of insensitivity, sensationalism is useless, and it is useless to talk about ideology and enlightenment, and people will think that you are lying to him.

What would you think of a boss who is harsh and exploitative of you in every way, and suddenly says that he wants to invite you to eat seafood and ask you for great health care?

Of course I believe you're a ghost.

Qin Chuan never thought of talking to the ordinary people in feudal society about his thoughts at all, no matter what he did, he would only choose the most effective way.

Seeing that his face was fierce, and he suddenly showed his knife again, the people below suddenly became commotion, panicked one by one, and wanted to turn around and run.

They kind of understood that this new steward who came out of nowhere was an unreasonable thief leader.

This Mengjiazhuang has become a den of thieves, and Lou Fuzhen may soon become the territory of thieves.

"All stand up, whoever dares to move, Lao Tzu will split him."

Seeing the commotion of the crowd, the thirty or so fierce bandits on the periphery immediately showed their knives.

Although there were many villagers, most of them were farmers who could only dig the ground, and there were many old and weak women and children.

"Don't worry, big guy, our knife is used to protect Lou Fu's peace and security, to protect the big guy's life, anyone who doesn't listen to my orders is to destroy Lou Fu's peace and threaten the life of the big guy, for this kind of person, Lao Tzu will never be soft."

"As for those rogues who do all kinds of evil, those Jiannu who burn and loot, Lao Tzu is here to kill one by one, two to kill a pair, and Lao Tzu will slaughter him with thousands of troops and horses!"

"Including those big families and officers and soldiers in the fish and meat township, who dare to harm Lou Fu Town, Lao Tzu is the first to chop him, if you don't believe it, just look at the pile of corpses, it was an officer and soldier who came to Mengjiazhuang yesterday to kill Liang and take the merit, and was chopped up by Lao Tzu more than 100 times, see who the dares to come to Lou Fu to spread wild."

Hearing his vicious words, the people below looked at a pile of corpses not far away, and saw that some of the corpses were still wearing bloodstained armor, which was the armor only owned by officers and soldiers, and it was obvious that the pile of corpses was really that of officers and soldiers.

Yesterday at noon, the villagers saw a group of officers and soldiers coming from the north, so they hurriedly ran, and heard a shout of killing in the direction of Mengjiazhuang in the distance, and after dark, there were faint shouts of killing from the north, and the villagers could not figure out what was happening, and they spent the night in fear.

Some people say that the people of Mengjiazhuang have fought with the officers and soldiers, and dozens of fierce and abnormal nursing homes have killed hundreds of officers and soldiers, and hundreds of corpses have been piled up in Mengjiazhuang.

The villagers naturally don't believe it, although the Meng family covers the sky with one hand in Lou Fu, but compared with the imperial court, it is like a dog's tail grass and a towering tree, how can it be against the imperial court.

But now, the corpses of officers and soldiers are piled up there, and it is difficult for them to believe it or not.

This group of people is really bold, even the officers and soldiers dare to kill, and when the imperial army arrives, they must not be wiped out?

And Master Meng ...... Some sharp-eyed people saw that Master Meng on the gatehouse had a very bad face, as if he was afraid of the person next to him.

Soon, the news that "Master Meng was held hostage by thieves" quietly spread among the crowd.

Qin Chuan didn't bother to pay attention to what they thought, and continued in a slightly soothing tone: "Don't worry, I am a reasonable person, as long as you are obedient, you will never have a good life." ”

"From today on, the rent of the Meng family has been reduced from five cents to four cents, if there is no food at home, the Meng family will lend it to you first, without receiving a profit, and those who have no ploughing cattle and no farm tools can rest assured, I will go and get a batch back in a few days to ensure that everyone has enough farm tools for spring sowing next year."

"After a few years, people who do a good job and those who are obedient can buy land from the Meng family, and I will make a package ticket here, and the land price for you will be at least thirty percent less than the price on the market."

"You go back and tell the tenants and farmers of other families that if they are willing to work for the Meng family, I will open the door and welcome them, whether it is to borrow grain or eat meat, but there is a premise, that is, they must listen to me."

As the words fell, the crowd below burst into an uproar, and the villagers all began to talk in disbelief and excitement.

There is no interest on borrowing grain, which is unheard of and unseen, who does not charge two or three cents of interest for borrowing grain outdoors?

As for the reduction of the rent from five cents to four cents, it means that if there is one stone of grain per mu of land, the tenant can keep six buckets, which is one bucket more than before.

You can't underestimate this bucket of food, when life can't go on, this bucket of grain may be life-saving food.

I don't know if what the man said counts.

If it counts, the big guy's good days are coming.

"Okay, all of them will line up for me, one by one into the village to receive yellow rice porridge and broth, come in turns, don't mess around, who dares to mistreat Lao Tzu chop him first."
