"Your days in there are not short, so you must know the situation very well."

Xiao Jing squinted and approached Zhu Da and asked, "How many people are there in the Imperial Village?" How many serfs were among them, and how many were the stewards and minions? ”

Zhu Da lowered his head and said: "If you go back to the prince, the hard people who work in this village must have the appearance of one thousand two or three, as for the steward, supervisor and guard...... The villain hasn't seen them all, but it is estimated that there are almost 400 people, right? ”

Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, and then said, "Who are the guards, do you know?" ”

Zhu Da responded: "The little ones have a lot to do with them, and they are almost all clear. There are a dozen or twenty people in charge of guarding the rivers and lakes who know how to fight and kick their fists, and sometimes there are people who come to check the local area...... Most of the rest are ruffians and hooligans, who work as thugs to earn food, and there are people among them who the villain has known since he was in the township. ”

At this time, he seemed to think of something, sighed and said, "The villain said that the number is a man's. If you count women, there may be so many small two hundred people, except for those who are responsible for cooking and sprinkling...... Hey, not to live? Don't underestimate this Zhuangzi, it's a sparrow, although it's small, it has all kinds of organs, there are all kinds of places to eat, drink and have fun, and the people above it can live a nourishing life......"

As he spoke, a bit of longing appeared on his face; However, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and the envy on his face disappeared without a trace.

"I saw a lot of dead people on the road, and there were corpse pits." Xiao Jing didn't care about his gaffe, and asked to himself, "Are there often people in Zhuangzi who are killed?" ”

Zhu Da nodded, and said with palpitations: "Isn't it." None of them treat villains very seriously, let alone those who are slaves. If you are a little slower in your work, you will not be able to run with a whip, and if you are in a bad mood, you will be locked up and starved for three days...... This is quite reasonable, some guards even beat people for no reason, just to have fun!

If anyone has a different heart...... Even if you just complain a few words behind your back, the overseer will kill the person directly, let alone the person who wants to escape. Alas, the executions seen by the villain alone have been dozens of times before and after. cough, who made the most important thing after the drought in Hedong is Qingzhuang! Even if one piece dies, within half a month, someone will bring in a group of people to fill it, and there is no worry about running out of labor at all.

What if you accidentally get sick? Hey, as long as you can stand up, you have to get to work! When you can't move, it's over, there are no idlers in the imperial village, and someone will soon throw the patient out and leave him to fend for himself. The corpse pit that Gongzi saw on the road should be one of the places where they put the corpse, if it weren't for the fear of polluting the water source by getting too close, those beasts wouldn't be so kind to transport the corpse so far and dig a pit for you......"

Hearing his words, Xiao Jing was sad and a little angry.

The so-called mourning its misfortune and anger should be like this.

The size of the Huangzhuang determined that it had to have a large number of laborers, and the owner could not send a corresponding amount of manpower to guard it, because the cost could not be afforded, and secondly, there was no place to find so many people: it was impossible to move the garrison from another place, right?

Therefore, the ratio of guards to serfs is 1:3 or even 1:4 is not unusual at all, and there are many opportunities for those inside to escape.

However, no one thought to rebel with their companions?

Even if the overseers are on guard day and night, as long as everyone works hard one after another, they will be able to organize everyone one day.

It is not the official army that guards the Huangzhuang, and there is no combat effectiveness at all. Even if the guards had some blades, didn't the serfs also have all kinds of farming tools for cultivating the land?

In the era of cold weapons, such a disadvantage can be completely compensated by the number of people, otherwise how did the peasant uprisings in the past dynasties come about?

As long as the serfs fight hard, it is really hard to say who will kill the deer: three or four people fight one, can you say that there is no chance of victory here?

I've asked everything I should have asked. Xiao Jing asked people to look at Zhu Da, and he took people aside to discuss it.

Soon after, he returned to Juda's presence.

"I need you half a favor, I don't know what you think?"

Zhu Da hurriedly said: "If the son has orders, the villain should obey them, and he can't afford to help or anything." ”

Xiao Jing no longer beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Okay." Then please ask Brother Zhu to be aggrieved for the time being, and go back to Zhuangzi first. Also, please help me bring this brother in. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xia Hu.

Yes?

Zhu Da, who was able to stand just now, weakened his knees and knelt in front of Xiao Jing again.

"Childe spare your life, Childe spare your life!" He cried in a low voice: "Didn't Shicai say that the villain may not even be able to save his life if he goes back like this...... Besides, the villain is just a small boss, how can he have the ability to bring people in, so don't laugh at the child......"

No matter how poignant he said, Xiao Jing was completely unmoved.

Can he change from a serf to a lower-class steward, is it really just because he can read and settle accounts?

It may be an exaggeration to say that he has personally harmed people, but if he has not acted for the tiger, how can he enter the small circle of managers?

This is just an opportunity to atone for your sins!

Pulling up Zhu Da, who was still kowtowing, Xiao Jing whispered a few place names and a few short words in his ear.

Zhu Da was immediately struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.

How did he know the time and route of the carriage in and out of Zhuangzi?

Xiao Jing smiled: What else do you have to say now?

The main roads nearby have long been targeted by the Xia family's people. For a period of time, Xiao Jing has summarized the time and route of the carriage in and out, and found the law from it.

It's autumn, and there's a lot to be shipped out of the farm; Since there is a carriage, you can make a fuss about it.

If it weren't for the fear that his own people would rush into it and cause danger, Xiao Jing would have sent someone to do it a long time ago!

Now with Zhu Da, he can play a cover and let the people who blend in take care of him...... It's really sleepy, someone sends a pillow!

Seeing that Zhu Da was still in shock, Xiao Jing said, "This is not difficult to do...... You just have to say that you got lost in the woods, and after a long detour, you finally found your way again, and you came across a carriage that came to pull goods, wouldn't it be good? ”

After a slight pause, he patted Zhu Da's shoulder again, and said warmly: "I know that things are risky, but I have to ask Brother Zhu...... Xiao promised you that as long as you can do this, I will promise you a fortune, and I will use my strength to help you find your relatives...... How is it? ”

Zhu Da stood in place and gritted his teeth, his face was blue and red, and his heart was infinitely entangled.

After a long time, he finally slapped his thigh and said imposingly: "Son, the villain will follow you!" ”
