"What's your name?" Shang Wu rode forward and asked the surrendered officer.
"Ma, Ma Heng, Xiliang people." The other party replied.
"Okay, Ma Heng, tell me, are there any traitors in your team?" Sangmu asked such a question.
"General, there is no one who is a traitor in the villain's team, we are all soldiers of the Northern Army, and it is really helpless to surrender." Ma Heng was helpless to argue.
"Okay, I trust you, but there's still some procedures to go. How many people do you have? Shang Wu dismounted and asked, Xiaodouzi, Kuroko hurriedly stepped forward, if his commander was captured, then the problem would be very big.
"More than 300 people, all of us are Han soldiers." Zhang Heng said. In fact, what he wanted to say was that they were all real soldiers, and asked Shangwu not to kill them or insult them.
"yes, I see. Your team has been reorganized. You will be my eleventh company, and you will be the company commander. I've wronged you for the time being. Kuroko will educate your subordinates so that you understand why you are fighting. Shang Wu patted the other party on the shoulder and said.
"General." Ma Heng didn't know what to say, maybe the soldiers of this era were stupid. There are good people in the officers and soldiers, and there are many traitors and criminals, but we can't beat everyone to death just because of a small number of people. Shang Wu didn't want to kill too many people, because it was pointless, probably because of his time, the human factor was relatively large.
"General, I'm ashamed." The third elder saw Shang Wu coming. Immediately knelt down and bowed, it seemed that they regretted it very much, and so did the people of Sanjia Village in the back.
"Old man, please get up quickly, we don't want to see such a thing happen, we will give you some explanations. It's just that you have to agree to our conditions, after all, you have seen it. In today's troubled times, it is impossible to live a peaceful life. Shang Wu persuaded.
"That's what the general said, yes." The three elders and the people of Sanjia Village regretted it very much, because the martial Red Turban Army was a thief army, but the official army came, although the infantry did not do evil, they just took some rations, but those cavalry were very rampant. Not only did they steal the grain, but they also captured some women and killed two people, which made the people of Sanjia Village feel very angry, because the thieves were very polite when they came, why were the officials and soldiers so fierce when they came.
"Alright. I won't say much about these things. We have already worked out some specific methods. Someone will arrange it. Shang Wu said with a smile. When Shangwu came, he specially called Ergou over and brought a group of people, Ergou didn't understand that the chief was fighting, why did they let them come here, they were still busy. The situation in Lijiazhuang is far from being resolved.
"Go. Put up our notice, and call a few people, show up to explain, let them understand how we are doing. Zhang Li, go and clean up with your people, other people's plague has spread to me. Be strict with me. Shang Wu said.
"Yes, sir." Zhang Li immediately rolled off the horse, indeed rolled down, because he had never ridden a horse, and his legs were soft. Can you not roll down.
Kuroko is educating those officers and soldiers who have just entered, which is the first step in the martial arts, after all, such a step is an important link in narrowing the distance between the two sides.
"Hey, let me tell you, we are all heroes in Liangshan, we are all heroes, we are men, among my team, there are officials and soldiers who were born, who is, yes, the second baby, if you come out, he is. Spearmen of the officer army. "Kuroko has a very flexible brain, and he grabbed a typical official and military model and said, Erwazi introduced his experience in detail, and saw that there were people from the same background as himself, which made many people feel at ease.
Then Kuroko began to teach singing, starting with the heroes of Liangshan, talking about the government's injustice, talking about the prospect of chaos in the world, in such a situation, the government could not count on it, they could only unite themselves. Seek to be born. This greatly affected the officers and soldiers, because it was the first time they had heard of such a thing.
There is also the spirit of contract at the back, which makes them understand that the government they worked hard has lost such a spirit, which also shows that they are not much wrong, and the fault lies with the government, not themselves. This
Kuroko said nonsense, Shang Wu went to Ergou to take a look, and as soon as the notice came out, the villagers of Sanjia Village began to discuss. And Ergou began to explain constantly, and called out some people in Lijiazhuang from time to time, because the two villages are not far away, and some of the villages are still related, which naturally pulls into the relationship between them, as well as persuasion.
"This Agricultural Bank. Okay, that's great. Now I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I deposit this land in this agricultural bank, and I can get one stone of grain for one acre of land a year. Isn't that a loss, you say? An old man from Lijiazhuang said.
"I said, it's not a loss, I'm still working in the factory in the village. My old woman also worked. This Red Turban Army, well, the tax is very light. Under eighteen, there will be no conscription, no taxation, you think about it. I still have two and a half children in my house. One sixteen, one thirteen, according to the past, this is to pay the poll tax. But now, no. This tax is 5 percent, that is, how much I earn in a year, I call it 5 percent, and I am alone. You say how to calculate, anyway, I don't know, this bank has a basis. The old man said with a smile.
"Oh, this, this way, the tax is a lot less. Especially this military service, conscription, this, how did the Red Turban Army do such a thing? "Some people still see the crux of the problem.
"Hehe, it's easy. The head of the Red Turban Army, no, should be called the Chief. The old man said.
"The chief told us. They are currently fighting wars on the one hand, borrowing on the other, and this new government, yes, new government, I remember. The new government asks us ordinary people to borrow money and grain. This requires us to get rich first. The old man said.
"My old man is doing well now. I work part-time, a month, one and a half stone of grain, my old woman, can also get half a stone of grain, if you get it right, you can still save food. The old man said excitedly.
"Ahh This, two people in a month is two stone grain. In addition, the two and a half children in the family do not pay taxes, which is also quite an income. His family, I know. Just five acres of land, not enough to eat in a year. Now, the two of them can eat. "The people of Sanjia Village began to discuss such a thing, whether it was good or not, they could understand it by calculating the accounts themselves.
The first is their tax, which is actually a tax, because Shangwu directly canceled their tax. There is no more conscription. Moreover, if the land is deposited in the Agricultural Bank, you will directly get interest. Although the interest is not much, it can ensure that they are fed. That's a good thing. This is a benefit to the common people. At the same time, there is this workmanship, they don't know what this workmanship is about, but after handing over the land, they can also lease it. The old man said it all. In their village, there is an expert in farming, who has planted more than 150 acres of land at once, and if possible, he will ask for more land, and the seeds of this kind of land, ploughing cattle, can be borrowed, and the Agricultural Bank will lend these all these. I really don't know how much food to produce at this moment.
And those who do not have land, go to work in factories, and if you calculate, they will not earn less than when they were farming. Such a thing is simply too advantageous.
The peasants are all small accounts. The same is true for those women. They feel that it is a good thing to have such a government.
Immediately, someone handed over his land. Even though there are still crops on it, they don't care, because they know that the government will compensate them.
Xiaodouzi is responsible for investigating and collecting evidence, and through the testimony provided by the villagers, it can basically be concluded that the traitors are all those cavalrymen, because they are very bold and have no scruples. Therefore, it is also very hateful to commit crimes, and it is such a group of people who are punished by martial arts. As for the infantry who surrendered, they really had nothing else to explain their criminal status except to take the rations from the people's homes, and it seemed that they were still soldiers with a bottom line, which made Shangwu feel a little good for them.
Shang Wu came to Kuroko again at this time.
"That, Chief Kuroko. We just want to know, what is going on with that demon law? yes, it's amazing. We've never seen anything like this, everyone says that the Yellow Turban Thief knows how to demons, you Red Turban Army, do you have the help of the gods? One soldier said boldly. It seems that Chief Kuroko is already familiar with them. Because they no longer call themselves adults, generals. Instead, use the prefect. This is a distinctly well-communicated trait.
"This. I, I can't say this, it's up to our chief. Actually, I think that our chief, a man of God, used lightning to solve a few leaders when he first came. Anyway, that's what I think. Kuroko said. This stopped all the officers and soldiers.
"It seems that everyone is very active, let me explain it to you." Shang Wu walked over with a smile and said.
"The chief wants to speak to us, and everyone applauds." Kuroko was the first to clap his hands. Others clapped their hands.
"Hello everyone, I know you're worried about that sorcery right now, and since you're so interested in sorcery, I'll tell you about it." Shang Wu said.
Hearing this, many people listened excitedly to Shangwu's explanation, because they had never seen such a misbehaving chief.
