Chapter 47 Buying Refugees
"Hehe, strange things happen every year, especially this year. There are many people who spend money to buy people, and it is the first time I have seen those who spent money to buy 2,000 rioters. Do you want to rebel? The fat man sat at the dinner table and shaved his teeth with a toothpick, squinted at Qin Wang, pretended to be serious, and threatened Qin Wangdao.
Qin Forget stood at the door not far away, and didn't even let the door in. He doesn't seem to be treated with more respect because his "murderous reputation" spreads far and wide.
After the last riot, he no longer has even the slightest reverence for this so-called yamen and the county commander Huang Fatzi. So he was even more rude, clasped his hands behind his back, looked up at the murals in the hall, and didn't even glance at the fat man.
"One thousand taels."
Yellow Fat Man: "Snort! Di sneered, noncommittal.
"Fifteen hundred taels."
The fat man was slightly moved, but he still held his breath.
"Two thousand taels, this is the bottom line."
The fat man still didn't say a word.
"Lord Huang is really bold, I don't know what you plan to do with these two thousand people? Kill, you don't seem to have the guts. Release, aren't you afraid that they will come and kill you again? There is such a big civil upheaval in Chicheng, I'm afraid Lord Huang's life will not be easy, right? Now instead of thinking about the aftermath and properly arranging these two thousand people, he bargained with me. Lord Huang, are you idle enough? To be honest, I arranged for these two thousand people to solve such a big trouble for you, you should thank me, you should give me money. Lord County Commander, once something goes wrong with these two thousand people and is known by the imperial court, how many heads do you have? Silver is a good thing, but it only needs to be a life flower. Qin Wang finally glanced at the fat man like a bedbug, turned around and left.
"Right, take it for me! Qin Forget, you are too arrogant, this is the county government! I'm a prefectural order! Huang Ling was annoyed and angry by Qin Wang's snatching of the white words, and immediately asked people to take down Qin Wang.
"I see who dares!" Qin Wang's eyes stared sharply at a few officials who wanted to come forward, "Thousands of refugees can't help me, how many of them want to try?" β
Seeing Qin Wang's eyes, several officials trembled in their hearts, thinking of Qin Wang's title of "Refugee Butcher" and the rumors of eating human flesh raw, they all looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.
"Useless waste!" When Huang Ling saw the appearance of his subordinates, he was so angry that he scolded, "Qin Forget, you have to rebel." He tried to suppress Qin Forget with the hat of rebellion.
Qin Forget smiled evilly, "Lord County Commander, it was not Qin Forget who rebelled, it was those chaotic people outside. Do you think there will be dozens of refugees outside the county government now, waiting for the internal government inside the county government to be killed at the sound of an order? Lord Huang, the anger of the Son of Heaven ambushes millions of corpses, and the anger of the husband is vegetarian in the world, you won't understand this truth, right? β
Huang Ling is not a stupid person, and his threat to Qin Forget is naturally clear. Thinking about the insult he had once made to this Qin Wang, it seemed that Qin Wang did have a reason to kill him, and then push it on to those refugees. Besides, Qin Wang's plan not only did not do him any harm, but solved a big trouble for him, and he could also make a profit.
In fact, he was moved when he was 1,500 taels, and now his life is as cheap as a dog, and a beautiful yellow flower girl is only this price, and the price given by Qin Forget is very fair, he just can't pull his face.
After thinking about it again, the expression on Huang Ling's face changed several times, and finally suppressed his anger, waved at the official to make them retreat, and then gave the second housekeeper a look.
The second housekeeper Huang An has followed him for more than 20 years, so he naturally understands what he means.
"Hey, Brother Qin, there's something to say, there's something to say!" Huang An hurriedly walked to Qin Wang's side and played a round with a smile.
"How can the lord of my family and the lord of a county exchange the people of the land for the things of Adu? My lord will release them soon, but where are they goingγγγγγγ We can't take care of it, don't you think? Brother Qin. Huang An smiled and patted Qin Wang's shoulder, the two looked like old friends who had known each other for many years.
Qin Forget didn't speak, just stared at Huang Fat Man with a forced gaze, this matter didn't matter what Huang An's housekeeper said, he needed Huang Ling to nod. He also wanted to see how Huang Ling gave in to him.
The yellow fat man also stared at him hatefully, gritting his teeth and slowly nodding his head.
Seeing this, the corners of Qin Wang's mouth raised slightly, "I'll have someone send the silver when I turn around, and I'll release him tomorrow!" β
"Boy, aren't you afraid that I will clean you up? Last time you were rude at my birthday banquet, I don't think it's difficult for you in Chu Chu's face, I really can't imagine how you would have such courage to dare to do something against me? Thinking about Qin Wang's actions, he was indeed a little curious about how Qin Wu could have such boldness.
"Your Lord Huang is not small. With so many refugees, you dare not produce a grain of food or a copper plate, I am really curious, you didn't expect that the refugees would rebel if they were forced to be in a hurry? After saying this sneeringly, Qin Forget didn't say hello to Huang Ling or strode towards the gate.
"The shaft is too deceitful!" The roar of the yellow fat man soon came from behind him, and Qin Wang's heart was relieved to hear it.
In the next few days, Qin Wang, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, turned into a hard-working little bee again.
Huang Ling was also very trustworthy after receiving the money, and the 2,000 bandits in the prison were handed over to Qin Wang intermittently. And Qin Wang and the others were short of manpower, so they could only bring out those chaotic people with about 200 people at a time. This is also the result of Yang Xuan personally bringing people from Qinjia Village to help. Although these people participated in the rebellion a few days ago, most of them were still good people, and they only embarked on the road of rebellion when they were forced to be anxious and sincerely instigated by people with good intentions.
Even so, Qin Wang still didn't dare to take it lightly, every time 200 people were released, Qin Wang would let these bathe and change clothes, wash them clean, and try to prevent the plague from happening. Then there will be three days of rice porridge to serve, which will nourish their emaciated bodies.
If you think that Qin Forget's move was entirely benevolent, then you are wrong. Three days later, while the rioters were still waiting to eat, they were doomed to disappointment. In the next two days, Qin Forget would not provide a grain of rice, and even if more than a dozen people starved to death, he did not relent.
If someone makes trouble, it's better to just pick them up and kill them. Anyway, these people are all domestic slaves who Qin forgot to register, and it is nothing to kill a few in this troubled world, and under the combination of grace and power, these people obediently followed Yang Xuan to Qinjia Village.
Although this move is cruel, it is also a helpless thing. Most of the rebels are good people, but there are not a few of them who have killed people and seen blood. And Qin Forget couldn't pick this kind of person one by one. This kind of person must not be brought to Qinjia Village, otherwise there will be a big mess. Therefore, he first let the rebels eat and eat for a few days, first, to nourish their bodies, so that they would not starve to death in the days when they were about to be released from prison, and secondly, to give them some sweetness and save them from making trouble.
The deepest meaning is that when the rioters go hungry after three days of eating, the feeling is very different from starving all the time. That feeling only intensified and drove them more crazy. At this time, those who are fierce and unruly will naturally jump out and become the first bird. And those ordinary honest people will also understand who gave them food, and in order to have something to eat, they will naturally be honest. This effectively distinguishes between the rioters.
It's like boiling an eagle, it's cruel, but it works.
Qin Wangmu sent another group of more than 200 people on the road, and breathed a long sigh of relief. After a few days of subjugation and the shock of nearly a hundred heads, all the refugees finally came to their senses. These two hundred people are the last group of young and strong people in the rebellion, and they are all a group of people who have no home and no mouth, and it is difficult to control. Such people would account for about one-third of the rioters, almost 700 people. It is the most unstable factor in this group of refugees, who are homeless, unburdened, and in the prime of life, who can do anything for a bite to eat.
Qin Forget also gave priority to arranging for this group of people to return to Qinjia Village, they would be sent directly to the monkey nest to develop the land, in that extremely closed place, as long as a team of village soldiers guarded the Monkey Back Ridge, they would not be able to turn the sky. Send these people away, and the remaining old and weak women and children and the chaotic people with their families will be much easier to control, and Qin Forget is also much more down-to-earth.
"Boss, then I'll go first, you take care of your body." Yang Xuan walked up to Qin Yu and said goodbye.
"Lao Yang is not in a hurry, they are walking slowly, and they don't care about this moment." Qin forgot to keep Yang Xuan, "Although these people are from chaotic people, they are also poor people, tell the people in the family not to bully them." β
Hearing Qin Wang's instructions, Yang Xuan couldn't help but nod, "Don't worry, I'll save my money." These people are the owners who are not easy to tame, and they are also the house slaves of the owners, so they naturally will not be bullied casually. β
Speaking of taming, Qin Wang's brows furrowed, treating his father and fellow villagers like animals, Qin Wang's heart was very uncomfortable, every time it was a mental torment for him, but he was really helpless.
