Full of devastation, this is Liu Ximing's first feeling when he returns to Zhangjiawan Village, last night he only felt that there were fires everywhere, and when he looks at it at dawn now, it is simply miserable.

"Erwa, Xi Ming, you are back, what did the county lord reward you?"

When the people in the village saw Liu Ximing and a few others coming back, they stopped what they were doing and looked at them, and many of them still showed fear in their eyes.

Everyone has heard that last night the second child of the Liu family took a dozen people from their family to kill all the way from the head of the village to the end of the village, which Wang Fu and a few other villagers who were hiding in the grass outside the village saw with their own eyes.

Wang Fu was whispering to the people around him at this time: "I'll just say it, the Liu family is blessed by the gods, and this baby is the stars in the sky, do you know what I saw when I was working in their house these days?" According to his family Xixian, the main hall of their family is dedicated to Emperor Ziwei, and there is no way to do it, who dares to offer such a great immortal. ”

"If you want me to see, those dozen or so little dolls were sent by the gods to guard him, you didn't see the power of these people last night, don't look at the people who have not yet become Ding, these dozen people rushed into the thieves like tigers entering the flock, Xi Ming shouted what a thorn, a group of people stabbed the thieves in front of them into a gourd string, tsk, Li Biao's kid is even more powerful, a doll that usually looks so honest, last night the head of several thieves was cut off with a knife in his hand. Now that the Zhang family is dead, the village will have to rely on the Liu family in the future. ”

"Hiss"

The villagers gasped when they heard it, although Wang Fu exaggerated the performance of Liu Ximing and others last night, but he couldn't stand the fact that the people in the yamen came over today, and dragged more than a dozen corpses away, this is what everyone has seen, so no one doesn't believe it, and they don't have a little friendship after seeing Liu Ximing at this time.

Liu Ximing saw that the people in the village were covered in ashes and rummaged around in the ruins looking for something that could be used, and there were a few dead people who were crying there, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he had to nod his head in response while speeding up his pace and walking home.

"My son, you are back, let my mother see if you are injured?"

Liu Ximing and a few others just returned home, and were immediately surrounded by Liu Chen and others, last night she and Aunt Wu took a group of small people on the hillside and waited for half a night, but fortunately, Liu Ximing later showed the masons where they were hiding, and also brought the news of Liu Ximing and the safety of Liu Chen and others to Liu Chen and others, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Who knew that later I heard that they were going to the township to save Zhou Liangcai, which scared Liu Chen and the others enough, and now when they came back, a group of old and weak all rushed up to look east and west.

Liu Ximing couldn't stop Liu Chen, so he had to let his mother look up and down to reassure her, and seeing that Yu Yongkai and others had also come back from Zhengyuan Township, he hurriedly pulled them over and talked about the situation in the township.

Before, Liu Ximing thought of taking the opportunity to recruit more people, but now most of the people in the township have received the life-saving grace of the Liu family because of the robbers and robbers, and they have nothing now, they are simply perfect candidates, so before leaving, Liu Ximing specially told Yu Yongkai and others to quietly build a good relationship with these villagers.

Now Zhangjiawan Village is basically Liu Ximing's final say, of course he has to ask Yu Yongkai about the specific situation, he took out the land deed he got in the county government and said to everyone:

"Let's take a look, this is the deed of 320 acres of land in the village, Zhang Yucheng's family was killed, I bought his family's land back from the county, and now we have the final say in this village."

"Hooray"

Liu Xixian and a few other small ones immediately cheered.

"Really?"

Liu Chen and the others also asked with a happy face, and then thought of the county officials, Liu Chen's face changed: "It's just that in the future, how can this levy tax be good?" ”

"Hahaha, mother, don't worry, I have asked the government to promise that within three years from now on, all members of my family will not pay taxes or accept forced labor."

Liu Chen's face was ecstatic all of a sudden, holding Liu Ximing's hands and not knowing what to say, and the others also had incredible expressions, this is a treatment that only people have, although it is only three years, but it is also very remarkable.

"You don't have to be too different, there will be more such things in the future, mother, now that our family has money and land, I see that there are many homeless people in the township, and I want to recruit more people, do you think it's okay?"

Liu Ximing waited for everyone to calm down, and said slowly to Liu Chen.

"Now that our family has a big business, it's time to recruit more people, otherwise we won't even have the strength to fight back if we are worried about it."

Liu Chen thought that if his family encountered these thieves last night, if there were no teenagers in the family, he was afraid that he would be like other villagers, and he should recruit more people.

Liu Ximing smiled, it seemed that everyone had palpitations after what happened last night, so he said to Liu Chen and Aunt Wu: "Mother, Aunt Wu, you two know the situation in our village best, and now you want to recruit people to recruit those who are reliable, and I will invite you two to go to the village to say that tonight my family will give porridge to everyone in the village, and I will talk about the recruitment in detail when I return from the township." ”

He then said to Yongkai: "What do you gain from letting you and others make friends with the people in the township today? ”

Yu Yongkai was still in a state of excitement, and immediately replied: "Second brother, I got your orders today, and I and a few others took advantage of the efforts to treat the wounded to find out some of the situation. Zhengyuan Township is the ancestral home of the Zhang family, in addition to the children and tenants in the township, there are many craftsmen recruited by his family. Now that the Zhang family has been burned to the ground, these people are all gone, according to today's situation, most people are grateful to my family, if it is not difficult to solicit. It's just that you need to move quickly, lest these people will have a hard time making ends meet for a while and join others. ”

As soon as Liu Ximing heard this reasoning, Teng stood up suddenly, pulled up Yu Yongkai, Li Biao and others and walked out, and said: "This is right, Zhang Jingliang of the Longxiang team will stay at home, and the rest of the people will go to the township with me to find someone." ”

The six people ran to the township without stopping, and when they were halfway there, Liu Ximing remembered a thing, everyone in the township was just a one-sided friend, but they didn't know much about the character of the past.

By the way, he has ready-made helpers, Xu Wei and Zhang Yuanlong are both from the countryside, Zhang Yuanlong is still a small sect of the Zhang family, and he must be much more familiar than himself and others.

Liu Ximing thought for a while and said to Mu Jingnan and Zhang Jingliang: "You two quickly go and invite Xu Wei and Zhang Yuanlong to the township, just say that I have something to ask them for help." ”

After the group rushed to Zhengyuan Township in a hurry, Liu Ximing was relieved to find that the people in the township were still rummaging in the ruins, but he also knew that what Yu Yongkai said was right, if these people couldn't find their next home, they would be scattered everywhere for a day at most.

After a while, Xu Wei and Zhang Yuanlong also arrived, and he was not polite to the two of them, and said directly: "Xu Wei and Yuanlong, you two also know that Zhang Taishou has been exempted from my family's three-year forced labor, and today I bought all the fields in Zhangjiawan Village, and now I want to recruit villagers to think that they are powerful, but the good people in this township really can't tell the difference, so I have to ask you two to come to help." ”

Xu Wei and Zhang Yuanlong heard that Liu Ximing bought all the land in the village, both of them were shocked, their classmates were too skilled, Xu Wei thought about it and said a little shyly: "Help is right, it's just ......"

Liu Ximing saw that he was a little squirming, and couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Xu has something to entrust?" We are both classmates and comrades-in-arms, so why do we have to be so twisted? ”

Xu Wei stabilized his mind and said: "Now that the Zhang family has been killed, although there are still a few clansmen who are officials outside, but the land in the township is only afraid that it cannot be owned, my family has been a tenant of the Zhang family for several generations, and I don't know what the future situation is. ”

"Hahaha, I still had a big deal at that time, I need to know that there are often people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are not many people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, when you two were willing to go back with me to save Mr. last night, I regarded you as siblings, and now my brother is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch, and you will go home with me later."

Liu Ximing laughed heartily and gave Xu Wei a guarantee.

When Zhang Yuanlong heard him say this, he also looked at Liu Ximing with an expectant look and said, "That, Brother Ximing, I don't know if my family can do it?" ”

Of course, Liu Ximing can't ask for it, he is now in the development period, and the more reliable manpower the better, and said to Zhang Yuanlong at the moment: "Before in the school, I knew that Yuanlong was righteous, and now you are willing to entrust your family to me like Xu Wei, which is really my great luck." ”

Xu Wei and Zhang Yuanlong were happy in their hearts this time, and Liu Ximing saw that the time was not early, so he immediately whispered a few words to Xu Wei and Zhang Yuanlong, and then ordered everyone to divide into several ways to gather everyone in the township to the township.

After he and Xie Chengzhou left today, the Long Xiang team was busy in the countryside for most of the day, most people recognized them, and they received the life-saving grace of the Liu family, so most people were willing to come with them to hear what was going on.
