Volume 1 Chapter 69 Recruiting Manpower (2)
"Folks, please listen to me."
Seeing that hundreds of people had gathered, Liu Ximing found a dirt slope to stand on, took a tin megaphone and roared loudly, these villagers had never seen this kind of thing that could make them speak louder, and suddenly there was a small commotion in the crowd.
Liu Ximing smiled in his heart, and continued to make a sad tone and said: "Heaven is not merciful, last night thieves raged in the township, and all the fathers and elders present either lost their families or their houses were burned. Liu is incompetent, although he led his family to fight to the death, but he was weak, so he could only scare him back, and failed to protect everyone, Liu is here to make amends to everyone. ”
Xu Wei mixed in the crowd, covered his mouth and answered: "Where is Liu Gongzi, you are not from the township, you can stay out of the matter last night, and it is already a righteous act to lead people to rescue, if you don't bring people to rescue, I'm afraid that we will be killed and injured more." ”
Zhang Yuanlong also clamored below: "That's right, I have received the great favor of Liu Gongzi, but I don't know how to repay it, how can I blame you again." ”
Everyone immediately whispered, everyone suddenly, yes, people have no relatives with you, not to mention running over in the middle of the night to repel the thieves, everyone saw it during the day, and one by one teenagers shuttled through the fire and kept saving people in the ruins, which was really a great act of benevolence and righteousness.
"Thank you Liu Gongzi for your life"
"Thanks to you, I didn't die in the fire, Liu Gongzi is really a good person."
More than a dozen villagers immediately shouted, driving most of them to start chattering about the good coming of Liu Ximing and others.
Liu Ximing was secretly happy when he saw this, it seemed that this method of incitement had a good effect, and he stood on the dirt slope and waited for everyone to discuss it before he continued: "I don't dare to take the grace of life, it's just a gesture." Now the township has become a white land, the township clan Zhang family has also been killed, presumably everyone has to go out to find a livelihood, but now the soldiers are in danger, there are thieves and robbers everywhere, if you go out, I am afraid that many villagers will be murdered. ”
"Then you have to beg for a living, otherwise it's not a dead end."
"As a fellow township party, Liu can't bear to suffer from the pain of displacement and travel, and plans to provide a good place for everyone. So that everyone can know that Liu also has hundreds of acres of fertile land in Zhangjiawan Village, plus he killed and retired the thieves last night, and today he has been rewarded by Zhang Licheng and Zhang Governor's Mansion of this government, and everyone in my family is allowed not to pay taxes for three years. ”
"Wow" everyone at the bottom of the pot all of a sudden, there is such a good thing, Zhengyuan Township suffered such a sudden disaster, except for those who have relatives to vote for, everyone else is panicked, I don't know what to do next.
Now the Liu family provides everyone with an opportunity to continue to stay in the township, not to mention that the Liu family is still kind to everyone, and the cadres and others have some ideas in their hearts.
Immediately, someone asked with hope: "Liu Gongzi, I don't know who you want in your family?" ”
Liu Ximing smiled and nodded at him, this question was a good question, and said to everyone: "As long as it is a good family, anyone can join, and if there are elders who can make iron, tools and other skills, they are even more welcome." Farmers can rent my family's land, blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen can sell their bodies to my family, or they can work for my family to earn wages, all according to everyone's preferences, Liu hereby promises, definitely better than the Zhang family to treat everyone. ”
"Count me, count me"
"I can strike iron"
Most people are ecstatic, for them who have nothing, Liu Xi's life is not much of a life-saving straw at this time, where is not to catch it, one by two squeezed forward, and the scene almost got out of control.
Good guy, Liu Ximing saw that this scene was okay, and hurriedly picked up the megaphone and shouted: "Wait a minute, everyone wait a minute, if you want to join my family, stand one by one, and after we confirm, you can go back to the village with us." You haven't eaten much today, so we'll start eating when we get back later. ”
Everyone in the Long Xiang team hurriedly walked into the crowd to maintain order, and lined everyone up in several rows, while Xu Wei and Zhang Yuanlong checked and looked in a row, and identified several township bastards and lazy people mixed in the crowd one by one according to their memories.
"You, you, and a few of you, all stand up, you better go and seek refuge in other homes."
Liu Ximing listened to Xu Wei's identification, and he was not polite, and directly slipped these people out.
In the past, these people were idle in the township, stealing chickens and dogs, and they were rejected by Liu Ximing at this time, where would they be willing, one by two shouted loudly: "Why don't you accept us, don't you look down on us, if you don't give an explanation today, where will we go." ”
"The Liu family wants to bully people, everyone can see clearly."
Liu Ximing smiled coldly, beckoned his hand to call the five members of the Longxiang team, and said to these bastards in a deep voice: "Do you think I don't know the situation in the township? In the past, you waited for a few people to be lazy and idle in the countryside, but now you still think that my family can't make a living? ”
Then he smiled viciously: "I really think that my family is a soft persimmon, have you forgotten the dozens of thieves who died last night?" Team Longxiang, step forward! ”
"Whoa"
Although there were only six people present at this time, after last night's battle, everyone was infected with some evil energy.
"Hmph, damn it, just go, you don't have a place to stay here."
These bastards were taken aback by this momentum, and saw that they couldn't do anything, so they had to stiffen their mouths and run away in dismay, and the other villagers were also a little frightened when they remembered the dozens of corpses they saw this morning.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ximing nodded with satisfaction, it is not enough to convince people's hearts by giving grace alone, and it is right to give grace and power.
"Don't worry folks, what kind of goods those people were just now, I think everyone knows better than me, I repeat, as long as it is a good family, it must be better off in my place than in the Zhang family."
Xu Wei and the others turned around a few times to clean up all the black sheep in the crowd, Liu Ximing followed and continued to appease the villagers, seeing that the verification was almost over, and it was not easy to register in the countryside at the moment, so he beckoned everyone to pack up their things and go to Zhangjiawan Village first.
Three or four hundred people walked on the road to Zhangjiawan Village, but this scene is rare in the countryside, along the way there are scattered farmers in the fields to see the excitement, Liu Ximing walked in the forefront of the heart is even more high-spirited.
When he arrived at the Liu family's house, Liu Ximing found that there was also a piece of black standing outside his house, and he thought that before he left, he asked Liu Chen and Aunt Wu to collect the surviving villagers in Zhangjiawan Village, and it was estimated that these should be these people.
Seeing that there were too many people to squeeze in, he hurriedly shouted outside the house: "Mother, we are back, where are you?" ”
The group of people who were originally around looked back at it together, and Liu Ximing was stunned.
This group of people was also shocked when they turned their heads, looking at the hundreds of people behind Liu Ximing and smacking their tongues, this Liu Jiaerlang's ability is too big, and they showed awe-inspiring eyes one by one to make way for Liu Ximing.
A few of them hurriedly put up and almost said: "Erlang, you are back, I said that your family is the most benevolent and righteous in the village, and you can take care of your uncle more in the future." ”
Liu Chen and the others walked out along the road where the crowd was separated with a happy face, and when they saw that Liu Ximing had brought so many people back, Liu Chen pulled Liu Ximing and asked in a low voice: "Son, why did you bring so many people back, how can our family be settled?" ”
Liu Ximing also picked his head when he heard his mother say this, just now he only thought of accepting more people over, but he forgot that there is not such a big place at home.
"Why don't you let them build a shed in the courtyard first? Now there are a lot of people, so let's work hard to build more houses in a few months. ”
Liu Ximing couldn't think of any good way after thinking about it, so he had to say such a temporary solution.
Liu Chen had no choice but to ask, but now that he saw that he had a proposal, he had no choice but to agree, and said to Liu Xi with a helpless face: "I have recruited all the people in this village for you, you have to quickly get a charter out, there is still porridge boiling in the yard, I will go and see it first." After saying that, he ran away.
Liu Ximing smiled bitterly, but she couldn't blame Liu Chen, after all, she hadn't taken care of a big family, and she was very panicked when she was in a hurry.
Liu Ximing hurriedly took out the megaphone and yelled at the people in Zhangjiawan Village: "The old and young masters have all come here, now everyone has suffered a disaster, my family is kind-hearted, and I am willing to give everyone a bite to eat, Zhang Yucheng's fields have been bought by me, and I am willing to follow my family in the future, as long as I Liu Ximing still has a bite to eat, I will not let everyone starve." ”
"Okay, those who are willing to work at my house will come to the yard with me, and those who don't want can come in and drink a bowl of porridge before leaving, which is also the whole of our township folks for so many years."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ximing took the people from Zhengyuan Township to the courtyard.
