"You have done a good job, in troubled times, you need to use heavy codes, Zhenbei Fort is our land, and if you don't obey discipline, you will be severely punished. It's nothing, but how are you doing? ”

"I'll talk about what I've done, and then I'll talk about what hasn't been done. First of all, my lord, you asked me to do the household registration, I have done a good job, the displaced people plus the original residents of the fort, a total of 1227 people, a total of 110 households, a total of 11 A, Er, my lord, because there are 110 households, than you said 1 in 10 A one more household, so I will also count the extra 10 households into that mile, you see if I can do this, if not, please show the adult. ”

"Just do as you say, fine, and then talk about your job."

"I have calculated the names, ages, and genders of these people, and there are 1,211 men, 1,016 women, and 770 adults. I have recorded all these in your book, as you have requested. It's done, and there's something that hasn't been done. ”

"You mean the house, right?"

"Exactly. Most of the houses in the fort that are still intact are occupied by the original inhabitants of the fort, and some of these aborigines have no more than one person in each household, but they occupy a large house, and they are told to divide the houses and live together with the whole people. Like Fu Zhankui, but they refused to obey, they said that it had nothing to do with them whether anyone else had a house to live in, their houses were ancestral property, and they couldn't be given to others no matter what. ”

"Yes. So is their house really an ancestral business? ”

"Naturally not, I asked them to bring the voucher, but they couldn't get it, so I think most of them occupy the ownerless house and insist on saying that they are their own."

"I see, there is no need to be reasonable against this kind of person. Desheng, where is Fu Zhankui now. ”

"My lord, tie him outside." Yang Desheng replied.

"Well, very well, let's kill him, hang the head for public display, and preach why he was killed."

"Yes," Yang Desheng responded, and was about to go out to kill people.

"Wait," Ma Tianjun hurriedly grabbed Yang Desheng and said to Liu Renyu: "My lord, I don't think it's appropriate to kill Fu Zhankui for these little things. I don't think he is evil, just teach him a little lesson, so that he knows the rules of adults, so why kill him? ”

"Tianjun, Zhenbei Fort is our territory. The people who come here are under our control, just imagine that today we have just started to manage, and we have encountered uncooperative Diao people, if we don't need to punish them heavily, others will follow suit, how can we manage so many people from different places. Kill one person, let those who want to disobey weigh it, weigh it, whether it is their neck is hard, or Liu's knife is hard. ”

"Yes, I see. Desheng, you go. ”

Yang Desheng snorted and walked away. Not long after, there was a miserable scream outside, and it had always been that Fu Zhankui had already driven to the west.

Fu Zhankui had already been killed, and Liu Renyu instructed again: "Tianjun, we must implement the matter of dividing the house today, and those who have not been assigned a good house for the time being, tell them that we will repair the house, tell them not to worry, if someone is dissatisfied, take the lead in killing it, and this Desheng will help you." ”

"In that case, I will definitely complete the task."

"Very well, go ahead."

Ma Tianjun and the others took the order again.

It was day and night, and all the people who had been busy all day returned separately.

After dinner, Liu Renyu held a meeting to ask them how their mission was progressing.

Ma Tianjun reported the progress of the work first.

"I have already recruited the displaced people, as well as the original residents of the fort, according to the number of Ding Koushu in each household, this time with Fu Zhankui's head as an example, the work is very smooth, no one makes trouble. There are still some people who have no place to live, and this is because there are no more houses in the fort. ”

"This is easy to do, tomorrow I will hold a plenary meeting to announce some things, I have also considered this for you, we must make full use of manpower and build a few houses."

"In this case, the Heavenly Monarch thanked the Lord on behalf of the people"

"Hmm."

After talking to Ma Tianjun, Liu Renyu asked Zhao again how the situation was.

The old man took people to look at the castle, and the walls of the castle were all useless, and they had to be rebuilt, and most of the houses and walls in the castle were still there, but most of the wood was rotten, and it was necessary to replace them. There are more than a dozen piers near the castle, and the old man checked it, but there are no soldiers guarding it, and they can be demolished, and the wood and stone can be used in our castle. ”

"I know, tomorrow you will be the commander-in-chief, and I will send people to help you dismantle the piers and repair the walled houses. Oh, by the way, I'm going to tear down the west and south walls and make the castle a little bigger to accommodate more people. When the time comes, you will also supervise their work. ”

"Hey, it's the first time that Xiao Lao'er has commanded so many people, even if it's a hundred, a thousand. Renyu, you just have to rest assured, leave it to E, and do it for you. ”

"Okay, everyone is tired today, let's rest first, and there will be a meeting early tomorrow morning."

The next day, the sound of gongs came and went, and the various leaders who Ma Tianjun had just appointed yesterday took the gongs and called people from house to house, saying that Liu Renyu, the head of the town guard of Zhenbeibao, was going to hold a mass mobilization meeting for Nalaoshizi, and asked everyone to gather in the open space outside Lord Liu's mansion when they picked up their ropes, and the adults had something to say.

*********************************************************************

"Damn, I don't know what's going on with you calling them up so early. Even if Lord Liu wants to support people, he has to make people sleep enough and have energy. Ma Qingshan, a homeless man who had been disturbed by Huangliang's sweet dream, muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, little ancestor, you make a little noise, if they hear it, you have a few heads cut off for them, don't break your mouth, just go to the meeting." Ma Qingshan's mother advised.

"Mother, don't be scared, the head is hanging on the head of the city, I heard that it is a crowd to make a rebellion, with bad intentions, the forehead is just a few broken words, then Lord Liu can still kill the forehead. If he wants to kill people in this way, then he must kill all the people, and everyone is dead, who will go to farm the land for him and help him. Ma Qingshan was not convinced.

"Son, don't speak ill of Lord Liu, according to my mother, Lord Liu is at least better than Master Zhang of Zhangjiabao. Alas, God has been angry in the past few years, and the sun shines when the fields ask for water, and it rains when the fields ask for the sun. After tossing back and forth like this for two years, the little old foundation that your father saved was wasted. It's hateful that the old man Xiaodou borrowed grain, and the big bucket collected grain, so how could they afford it, and the most hateful thing was that even the rations for our lives had to be collected, so they came out to escape the famine. Over the years, I have eaten a few bites of rice with rice at Lord Liu's place, Lord Liu is not bad, Hugh wants to talk about Lord Liu. Aunt Ma seems to have a good impression of Liu Renyu, and Ma Qingshan is not allowed to talk about Liu Renyu.

"Yes, big brother, my mother is right. When Mr. Liu summoned us, he said that he would divide the fields and give us the seeds, and only charge us 20% of the annual rent, but such an owner would go there to find it. Ma Qingshan's second brother Ma Wenshan saw that his eldest brother was a little ignorant, so he said the promise made by Liu Renyu.

"Who's to say it isn't. Big brother, we've been fleeing the famine outside for two or three years, have you ever seen a court official like Lord Liu? Not to mention the two meals a day where we can see rice, even the house has been allocated to us, and there will be fields to plant in the future. "This person who said good things about Liu Renyu was Ma Qingshan's third brother Ma Yongjun.

"It's a dilapidated house, and the ceiling is still empty. It's not uncommon. Besides, which official will suffer in this year, you see, when the time comes, the amount will definitely be 5 percent of the rent, the landlord is old, and the officials of the court are not all the same, so I don't believe him, Lord Liu can be an exception. Ma Qingshan was counted down by the whole family, and suddenly he had a bullish temper, and insisted that Liu Renyu was not a good bird.

"You stunned boy, for my mother not to break my mouth with you, I only told you to remember, when it is time for the meeting, you are not allowed to disobey Lord Liu's orders, otherwise your mother will not be able to spare you, can you write it down?" Aunt Ma doesn't care what her eldest son's thoughts are, she just needs her son to listen to Liu Renyu's words.

"Yes, I wrote it down." Although Ma Qingshan has a bad temper and a rather irritable personality, he is very filial to his mother.

While the crowd was talking to themselves for a while, the captain knocked on the door of their house and shouted, "What are you Ma family doing? The other families have all gotten up and gone to the general mansion, what are you still inking? If you don't hurry up, you will directly tell Master Ma that you don't listen to orders, and don't blame you for ignoring the friendship of the neighbors when the time comes. ”

Everyone in the Ma family was really shocked when they heard this, Aunt Ma hurriedly grabbed a few steps, opened the door, and confessed: "I left the house yesterday, I was tired, I slept a little dead, I got up late, you have a lot, forgive your sins." ”

The chief of the first was a little embarrassed when he saw that Aunt Ma said Xiang in person, he said: "Aunt Ma doesn't have to be like this, although we didn't know each other before, but in the future, we will all be neighbors, and we will take care of each other." It's just that Lord Liu called a meeting today, if we go late, I don't know what will happen, even if it's not for you, you have to think about it, Ma Tianren said, if something happens to the family, the whole family will sit together. ”

"The old body knows, and the old body will tell those unlucky boys to go." When Aunt Ma heard this, she was shocked again, and hurriedly called her sons, and together with Captain A, they rushed to the square in the wind and rain.

When I arrived at the square, I saw that the yellow earth was sprinkled with lime, and the names of the 11 chiefs were written on them, and the names of each of them corresponded to an area, and the 10 families under the jurisdiction of each of them gathered in the place with the name of the chief.

What these people are facing, on a temporary wooden platform about 2 meters high, stand Liu Renyu, Yang Desheng, Ma Tianjun, He Ergou, Zhang Tieniu, Zhao Datie, Liu Renjie and others.

The speaker of this meeting is naturally Liu Renyu, and before he speaks officially, he still needs to solve a little problem, the people under the stage are too noisy, and he wants to make these people quiet.

In fact, speaking of which, it is no wonder that the Chinese, whether ancient or later, do not like to join in the fun, now that so many people are gathered together, and they don't know what is going on, they are short of parents, pouring out complaints, in short, they seem to have forgotten that Liu Renyu is the one who just ordered to kill Fu Zhankui at this time.

Therefore, Liu Renyu saw that the people refused to calm down on their own, so he had to use a killer weapon, he was lucky and said loudly: "Everyone, stop speaking now, otherwise whoever speaks will make his whole family hungry for a day." ”

As soon as Liu Renyu's words came out, the entire venue suddenly heard a needle. After all, the homeless people in the late Ming Dynasty were most afraid of not having enough to eat, so this sentence was very lethal.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Liu Renyu continued: "Very good, everyone is quiet, you all have to remember this rule, when you have a meeting, you are not allowed to speak, even if there is a big matter, you must be quiet and not noisy." ”
