Chapter 260: Gathering People's Hearts

Since he accidentally ran into Li Ze, Yeluqi did not go to Texas, and assigned Tiele to continue to advance in the direction of Texas with these tens of thousands of refugees, while he, with hundreds of elite cavalry, insisted on becoming Li Ze's escort.

Li Ze saw in his eyes longing and sincerity. And this kind of look was something he had never seen in Yeluch's eyes before. As soon as my mind turned, I understood.

In the past, he and Yeluqi were just an exchange of interests, he found a way for his tribe to live, he took Yingzhou for himself, and became his subordinate, and the rest was not to be said. But today is clearly very different. probably his thousands of cloaks really convinced this Khitan man.

What I didn't get with all the effort was inadvertently obtained. This made Li Ze feel very intentional about planting flowers and not living, and unintentionally planting willows and willows.

It is said that when he took off his cloak and gave it to the unclothed old man, it was just a subconscious move because the situation in front of him was too shocking, and he really didn't mean to invite people's hearts. It was only when he saw that the old man had taken the cloak but gave it to the children backwards, so he ordered the whole army to take off the cloak and give it to them.

Li Ze suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart.

Li Ze's vision of things is completely different from that of people of this era. For example, almost all people think that these old people are a burden, but Li Ze does not think so. The longer people live, the more they will naturally see and experience. For example, in the stuffed mare's milk bar, these old people will have more experience, the cheese they make will be sweeter, and the skin they mix will be softer, so they are not burdens, but inheritors of experience.

And children, of course, are the future.

People are not burdens in Li Ze's eyes, although sometimes they do, but more often, people are the creators of wealth. Now Li Ze is still worried that there are too few people under his rule. Too many places are deserted, and there are people who can develop these wildernesses, make these places produce wealth, and let them have more harvest.

There are many people, so it will be more reassuring for him to exploit them.

It's like picking up wool, you keep staring at a sheep, and it won't be long before you have to get the sheep bald. But if you have a hundred sheep, and if you get a little bit of it every day, you will get more than if you get it from one sheep, and the sheep don't feel much of it.

As for Yeluqi's tribes, they are all Khitans, so Li Ze is not worried at all. In his previous life, there were still 56 ethnic groups in Greater China! Besides, the Tang Dynasty is the most inclusive dynasty among all the dynasties in Chinese history that Li Ze knows, which has a lot to do with the fact that the Li dynasty itself has both Hu blood, so in the Tang Dynasty, it is not unusual for a large number of Hu people to be officials in the court, and many Hu generals with names and surnames are foreigners.

A strong dynasty has no worries about what these people have in mind. Because he himself has a strong centripetal force and attraction, and only when a dynasty declines and a nation weakens, will there be such worries and strong xenophobia.

Even if it is the end of the Tang Dynasty now, the civilization of the Tang Dynasty still has a strong attraction for these surrounding foreign races, and it is the lifelong dream of these people to enter the Tang Dynasty.

As long as you are strong enough, they will be your most loyal helper.

If you are weak, you are a member of your own clan, and they will want to bite you! Then these people also come to fight back, and there is nothing to say.

"Boxing County is very large, there were originally four townships, of course, there are no people now, after you go, settle down well, this year will allocate some materials to you to get through the most difficult time, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future." Li Ze whipped his horse, and Yeluch followed him closely.

"Yes!"

"Taking advantage of this winter, there are still some preparations to be done." Li Ze continued: "I have asked Yang Kai to arrange some craftsmen, and some experienced farmers to go to your place to be masters, treat these people well, and after learning these things, your life will be much better in the future." After all, you can't live by herding alone. If you want to live well, you need to diversify your business, raise sheep and hair, make mare's milk wine, make cheese, mix leather armor, and even cultivate land. ”

"What Childe said, his subordinates all remember it." Jerichy said respectfully.

"By the way, are there many literate people in your tribe?" Li Ze asked suddenly.

Then Jerichie was embarrassed.

"Yes, very little."

"Is there a healer?"

"Our priest."

Li Ze snorted. There are few literate people, which is expected, a group of people who are desperate to fill their stomachs, so which energy does they have to read and read? As for the priest, he is a guy who pretends to be a ghost, and may know a little bit of inexplicable little remedies, but if you really expect him to save people, it is a joke.

"When I go back, I will send Mr. over to teach those dolls in your tribe to read and write, and when they grow up and learn, maybe they can become officials!" Li Ze smiled: "After you go back, you have to choose some smart ones well." I don't have many people like that. ”

"Thank you, Childe." Jerichie was overjoyed, and this gave his tribe's children a bright future.

"Healers will also send some of them, and you can also pick some smart and clever children to learn from. How can a tribe of tens of thousands of people do without a healer? ”

"Childe's care for the Siwandan Ministry, his subordinates have nothing to repay, and they can only be persistent and stubborn for Childe in the future." Jerich's eyes were red.

"Don't be too impressed." Li Ze laughed, "I'm so good to you because I want to get more from you!" Hahaha! ”

In the laughter, Li Ze spurred his horse and accelerated forward, but the emotion in Yeluqi's heart was not weakened in the slightest as Li Ze's words that caused the scenery to be ruined, because this is the right reason!

There is no such thing as good for no reason in this world.

But the problem is that over the years, he has only seen asking for it, but no one has given him the reward he deserves, so even if Li Ze seems to be just making a fair deal, it makes him feel nostalgic.

Li Zegongzi is really a good person and a master.

Such a master is worthy of his Jeluqi's hard work.

After most of the day, they finally arrived at Yingzhou City, and when they saw the tall city wall, Li Ze also breathed a long sigh of relief, saying that it was indeed a painful thing to trek long distances in such ice and snow.

The city gate was open, and some people stood in the snow outside the city, and to Li Ze's surprise, he didn't see Liu Chenglin.

He was greeted by the new Yingzhou Thorn Shi Huang De, Chang Shi Bao Hui, and Liu Changfeng.

Huang De is a county magistrate in the former Yizhou, and he can be regarded as Cao Xin's hardcore cronies, while Bao Hui's experience is a little tortuous. This person was originally from Wuyi, and his brother Bao Zhi was the county governor of Wuyi at that time, but he was driven out in the process of resisting Li Ze. Bao Hui and Bao Zhi are half-brothers, the two brothers are not right, and Bao Hui's life is more miserable. Later, this Bao Hui was rebelled by Hu Twelve, who is now Li Rui.

As Bao Zhi followed Li Che to his death in the city of Yingzhou, Bao Hui found his brother's family after returning to Yizhou, just when everyone thought that Bao Hui would inevitably report revenge, this person made a shocking move, and even vowed to support his sister-in-law and nephew and niece in the future.

He said so, and he did.

As a result, this Bao Hui's reputation in Yizhou City skyrocketed. In the end, he even alarmed Cao Xin and recruited him as an official under his command.

After that, Bao Hui became a member of Yixing Society.

In the end, because of his outstanding performance and previous contributions, this guy, who was almost a gangster two years ago, rose straight up and was directly appointed as the governor of Yingzhou.

He became a role model for many gangsters in Yizhou.

Therefore, the organizational structure of Yingzhou is extremely peculiar. Assassin Shi is Cao Xin's person, Chang Shi is a person from Yixing Society, and this guy has another special identity, that is, he is also responsible for part of the task of intelligence collection in Yixing Society. And don't drive Liu Chenglin, he is the original general of Cangzhou, of course, he is Li Ze's brother-in-law. And the soldiers and horses of Yingzhou are composed of elites from Shenzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and other places.

"I've seen Childe!" Huang De, Bao Hui, Liu Changfeng and a large number of civil and military officials clasped their fists and bowed down.

"No need to be polite." Li Ze waved his hand: "What about Cheng Lin, where did he go on this snowy day?" ”

Huang Dedao: "Back to Gongzi, Liu Beijia led a group of soldiers and horses out of the city to suppress bandits." ”

"Bandits?" Li Ze was very surprised, hadn't he heard that there were bandits in Yingzhou before? When Shi Yi was stationed in Yingzhou, what bandits could survive under him?

"It's said to be a bandit, but it's not a bandit!" Huang De said with a smile: "It's a bit complicated to say, it's cold outside, so please ask the son to go into the city, and then report it carefully!" ”

"It's good!" Li Ze nodded.

Of course, it was impossible for three thousand cavalry to enter the city. At that moment, they set up camp outside the city, and their own chief Shi Bao Hui arranged a supply of materials and food supplies for them, and Chai He had already prepared thoroughly.

The only one who can follow Li Ze into the city is Min Rou's 100 Chengde wolf ride.

After settling down, Li Ze finally knew what kind of people the bandits in Huang De's mouth were.

These so-called bandits are all wealthy gentry entrenched in the countryside in Yingzhou.

"According to Wubao, he defended himself, and refused to come to Yingzhou to meet the new assassin?" Li Ze drank the freshly brewed hot tea brought by Li Mi, and sneered: "They are very confident. Are there many such people? ”

"Many, but after Liu Beijia took office, he has already connected three of them." Huang De said with a smile: "The heads of these people are still hanging on those dock forts that we have conquered!" ”

"The next ones are stronger, and I'm afraid they also have support from the outside, right?" Li Zedao.

"Childe God counts, it's true!" Huang De nodded.
