A day later, Fish Hill set.

The bandit village on Yushan was burned down by Liu Juntao's order, and the fire burned all night before it could be extinguished.

Since then, the "town of Bafang", which has been a disaster in the Yushan area for more than ten years, has been wiped out!

When Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing led everyone back to the village, the seized grain and goods were piled up, filling the threshing floor that was not too small.

Many villagers rushed forward with their eyes shining, and even some old people and children rushed to the countless money and food in front of them, and the scene was a little out of control in a blink of an eye.

"Stop them!"

Liu Juntao couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and immediately commanded all the young men to maintain order, and more than 100 young men hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, blocking the crowd that was on the verge of getting out of control outside the threshing floor.

Seeing this, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui hurriedly persuaded the villagers, which calmed down the villagers who were out of control.

Hu Dexing on the side was also a little displeased, and said in a low voice: "It's really open-eyed to see money!" Why didn't you see these villagers so motivated when the bandits attacked? ”

"People's hearts are profit-seeking!"

After speaking, Liu Juntao didn't wait for Hu Dexing to say anything, and directly called Tang Yu and got the list of casualties of the young and strong people in the village a few days ago.

After that, Liu Juntao took the list and found Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui, and said loudly in front of the villagers gathered around the threshing floor: "Guo Yuanwai, Master Zhang, this time we fought the bandits in Yushan bloodily, thanks to the young people in the village fighting to the death, Hu Xiaoqi and his brothers are also fighting bloodily!" Now that we have seized such a huge amount of money and food, I would like to pay the settling-in allowance for the casualties. What do you two think? ”

Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui nodded with a smile when they heard this, and both said: "It should be so!" ”

Hu Dexing on the side also nodded secretly, and secretly said in his heart that Liu Juntao would be a man.

So under the auspices of Liu Juntao, the eleven young men who died in the village each received a settling-in allowance of five taels of silver and thirty catties of grain, and each of the twenty-three injured young men received a settling-in allowance of three taels of silver and twenty catties of grain.

And the six guards who died under Hu Dexing were also the same as Yushan Jiqingzhuang, and each of them received a settlement fee of five taels of silver and thirty catties of grain.

As for the remaining Yushan Ji Qingzhuang, as well as Sun Xun, Meng Fanchen and other six guards, they were each rewarded with two taels of silver and ten catties of grain. Even the old and weak women and children left behind in the village had money and food, and each person was given one tael of silver and five catties of grain per head.

After all the money and food were distributed, there was a thunderous cheer around the threshing floor, and everyone cheered loudly. Although Liu Juntao only gave each person a few taels of silver and dozens of catties of grain, it was already a lot of wealth for the villagers of Yushanji and Hu Dexing's men.

You must know that in the orthodox years, the annual expenses of a normal peasant household were converted into silver, and the full amount was only about ten taels of silver.

This is only a few days of work, the income of each young and strong family plus the income of the elderly in the family, the silver alone is almost enough for the family's expenses for a year, not counting the dozens of catties of food! It's no wonder that the villagers of Yushanji are almost rushing up to rob those money and food, they are all poor and afraid!

And Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen are also elated, and they are only a few taels of silver when they are busy from beginning to end of the year, and the money and food they get today are enough to squander for a while!

Of course, although the Yushan bandits were exterminated, there were still some people who were happy and some were worried, and the villagers who were young and strong in their families were all holding the money and food in their hands and crying bitterly, and a few old people even fainted directly from crying, so frightened that the people around them carried these old people home, and Liu Juntao also hurriedly sent people to the neighboring village to invite Langzhong.

And Hu Dexing, Sun Xun, and Meng Fanchen also secretly wept when they remembered their six brothers who died in battle.

That night, at Liu Juntao's suggestion, the whole village lit a bonfire in the threshing floor and set up dozens of tables of wine and food to celebrate the extermination of the Yushan bandits.

As for the seized money and grain, it was at Liu Juntao's suggestion that all of them be transported to Guo's house for storage after being counted, after all, only Guo's family has such a big place in the village. Of course, Liu Juntao also left a heart, and specially asked Yan Hu to take a few trustworthy young men to stay at Guo's house, worried that someone in the village would not think about it and would go to Guo's house to steal.

Near midnight, hundreds of people in the village had already drunk three rounds, and many of them had already drunk to the bottom of the table.

Looking at the warm scene, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui were very emotional, just a few days ago, everyone was still deeply feeling the threat of death, but at this time, they were able to drink and talk with the villagers, all thanks to Liu Juntao and everyone to destroy the Yushan bandits, otherwise Yushanji would have become a deserted village and a wild ridge!

"Come on! Brother Juntao, brother, I toast you! ”

Hu Dexing walked over with a red face, shouting loudly to fight with Liu Juntao, Liu Juntao also did not refuse, and took the sea bowl and made a big bowl with Hu Dexing, which attracted the surrounding villagers to applaud in unison.

At this time, the wine everyone drank was undistilled turbid wine, and the degree was very low, which was nothing to Liu Juntao.

At this time, Guo Yongzhong took advantage of Hu Dexing's entangled drinking by Zhang Xiaojun next to him, pulled Liu Juntao to sit down, and said, "Juntao, there is something I want to tell you." ”

"Guo Yuanwai, please speak."

"That's right, although you haven't been here for a long time, you have a lot of luck with my Yushan set. You see, my Yushanji rescued you, and you took my Yushanji to destroy the Yushan bandits, and saved the whole village, young and old, you and my Yushanji This is the fate of the previous life! ”

As he was talking, Zhang Baigui also sat down, glanced at Guo Yongzhong, took it and said, "Guo Lao, don't say something useless!" Jun Tao, I discussed it with Guo Lao, first, I want to ask Jun Tao what your next plan is, whether you want to stay in our Yushan Collection, or if you want to find another place. Second, I want to discuss with you how to arrange the rest of the seizures. ”

In addition to the money and grain returned to Guo Yongzhong, there are about 1,000 taels of silver, and about 120 stones (12,000 catties) of grain, which is a huge fortune, and Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui naturally cannot bypass Liu Juntao and dispose of it themselves.

Liu Juntao laughed when he heard this, poured himself a bowl of wine, looked up and drank it all, and said to the two: "Guo Yuanwai and Master Zhang, we can be regarded as a fateful friendship, so I will say it directly." ”

Liu Juntao sorted out his thoughts and said to the two: "My Yushanji and I have experienced life and death, so we are naturally ready to stay." As for the money and food, I plan it like this: I am going to take out fifty taels and give it to Nahu Xiaoqi, and one hundred and fifty taels to the hundred households in Nahuakou Town. As for the remaining 800 taels of silver and 120 stone of grain, I am going to save them for the preparation of our Yushan Guard!" ”

Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui were first overjoyed when they heard Liu Juntao's words, and then they were taken aback when they suddenly heard Liu Juntao say that they were going to set up a guard team for Yushanji, and said secretly: "Could it be that the extermination of the Yushan bandits made Liu Juntao addicted to leading the army to fight?" ”

Zhang Baigui frowned and said, "Jun Tao, we are all very happy that you can stay, and we will be villagers from now on." However, what kind of Fish Hill Guards do you want to build? What does that mean? ”

Guo Yongzhong also said: "Jun Tao, now that the Yushan bandits have been wiped out, is it necessary for us to build any escort team in Yushanji?" The most important thing is for everyone to live with peace of mind! ”

Liu Juntao couldn't help laughing and said: "Guo Yuanwai is right, now the bandits have been destroyed by us, but I remember Hu Xiaoqi said that our Yushan Ji is full of heroes and strong, and even our Yanzhou Mansion is full of heroes!" If we don't protect ourselves, it will be too late for us to be bullied one day! ”

Zhang Baigui asked: "Jun Tao, this reason is a bit far-fetched, right?" Which of those heroes is not wealthy? Will you take a fancy to our Yushanji village? ”

"Not before, but now that we have these seizures, it's different! We have seized more than 1,000 taels of silver and more than 100 stones of grain, although it is not much in the eyes of those heroes, but once the news that the bandits in Yushan were exterminated by us and Hu Xiaoqi spread, all kinds of news will fly all over the sky! Five days later, it will be rumored that our Yushan Collection has seized tens of thousands of silver and thousands of stones, and after half a month, it will be rumored that we have seized Jinshan and Yinhai! At that time, how can the big and small heroes around our Yushan set not be blushing? ”

Hearing this, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui were a little moved, but Guo Yongzhong was still a little reluctant, after all, training young and strong under the nose of the government is very taboo in itself!

So, Guo Yongzhong said with some concern: "Jun Tao, according to what you said, there is some truth, but is it a little inappropriate for us to gather people to practice without the permission of the government?" We're not a vigilante group! ”

"So I gave Hu Xiaoqi and the hundred households in Huakou Town a lot of money!"

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "We are not gathering people to practice, but an escort team to protect the territory and the people!" I think that the hundred households in Slip Town will definitely support us after receiving the silver! ”

Looking at Liu Juntao who was talking, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui suddenly had an illusion, as if they didn't know Liu Juntao anymore.

"But is that really possible?" Guo Yongzhong is still a little worried.

"Absolutely!"

Liu Juntao said with great certainty: "Guo Yuanwai and Master Zhang, although rest assured, this matter is on me." Hu Xiaoqi's side will be said by me, and I will also solve it by the hundred households in Huakou Town! ”

Early the next morning, Liu Juntao found Hu Dexing, Zhang Xiaojun, and Yan Hu and talked about the preparation for the establishment of the Yushan Collective Guard, and the three of them actively supported it when they heard it. Several people also mentioned Liu Juntao that they had formulated a charter for the escort team, although it was only a preliminary draft, but it could be regarded as a key step for Liu Juntao.

On the same day, several people under the leadership of Liu Juntao summoned the young people in the village and announced the establishment of the Yushan Guard.

In front of everyone, Liu Juntao read aloud the regulations of the escort team agreed upon by everyone:

"1. All the young and strong people who join the escort team will receive a salary of one tael of silver and five catties of rations per month! The cultivated land at home is cultivated by Guo Yuanwai looking for someone to cultivate on his behalf, and the harvest is eighty-two open, and the person who cultivates on behalf of him gets twenty percent! ”

"2. Whenever the convoy goes through the war, the dead shall be given a settlement fee of ten taels, and the village shall provide ten catties of food for the old and young in their families every month; Depending on the severity of the situation, the injured are given three to eight taels of silver, and the disabled are supported by the village, and the old and young in the family get eight catties of food every month! ”

"Third, the Yushan Collective Guard Team aims to protect the territory and the people, and protect the hometown, and all actions are based on this program!"

"Fourth, the ...... of the Yushan Guard"

"V. All ......"

When Liu Juntao finished reading aloud, he asked loudly, "Did everyone hear clearly?" Now tell me, who wants to participate? ”

For a while, more than 100 young men on the threshing floor rushed to shout, and almost all of them wanted to join the Yushan Guard. You must know that after joining the escort team, not only is the cultivated land at home helped by someone to plant, but also you can receive a tael of silver every month, which is much better than farming.

In less than an hour, Liu Juntao recruited 126 young people from Yushan Village, and almost collected most of the young people in Yushan Village.

In this regard, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui also have a lot of complaints, believing that once there is a conflict in the future, and once the escort team is defeated, the young and strong people in the village will be swept away, and Yushanji will face the catastrophe of extinction.

However, Liu Juntao's words completely dispelled the worries of the two.

"If there is no escort team, once a powerful force attacks, we don't have any self-defense ability, and it will be a catastrophe. Instead of sitting still, let's fight hard, maybe we can soar into the sky! ”
