After saying these words, the cold aura on Ximen Dongzi's body became more and more intense, and when Liu Renyu heard such a tragic incident, Rao was well-informed, and he couldn't help but shudder, and he was really shocked.

A few tears were hanging in Ximen Dongzi's eyes, and he plucked up the courage to say: "Master Jun, I haven't said these words to anyone, but I don't know why I want to tell you now, if you think that E, E, is a thing that is not as good as a beast, then let's go." ”

"No, no, it's not your fault, it's not your fault, your grandfather loves you, loves you deeply, loves greatly, and if he doesn't do it, you'll all die. If you want to blame it, blame this thief, this world. Are you willing to work with me so that everyone in the world can have enough to eat and not have to endure a tragedy like yours. ”

"Eh,......., willing," After speaking, Ximen Dongzi seemed to vent the sorrow that had been held for thousands of years, and cried loudly, and there was a lot of precipitation for a while.

Liu Renyu just sat there, looking at Ximen Dongzi and crying, but the thoughts in his heart were thousands.

The people of this land are the most industrious in the world, and they are the least demanding, they only demand to be fed, and the ruling class is satisfied without exploitation.

They face violence. Politics, always patient, if it is not really impossible to live, will not resist, such a good people should not be treated like this, I must not let the tragedy of cannibalism be staged frequently in northern China, this is a mission that a traveler should bear.

After thinking about his thoughts, Liu Renyu said to Ximen Dongzi: "Don't cry, follow me to work hard, and when you have a chance in the future, build a good grave for your grandfather, burn him more paper money, so that he can live a good life over there." ”

"Well, well, I know, I will definitely work hard."

"Very good, very good, I'll discuss one thing with you first, you see, your name is very bad, it's called Shiximen Dongzi, it's unsightly, what's your grandfather's surname?"

"Well, I don't know, I've always called him grandpa, but I don't know what his surname is." Thinking that he didn't even know his grandfather's surname, Ximen Dongzi sobbed again.

"In this case, I will be the master, you have the same surname as me, I am 23 years old this year, how old is you, I will be your brother-in-law, you call me big brother, your name is Liu Renjie, do you want it."

"I am willing, I am blessed to meet you, and I have cultivated it for several lifetimes. From now on, it will be Liu Renjie. Before Liu Renyu finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, and Peng Peng kowtowed a few times.

"I haven't read a book, but I've also heard that the eldest brother is like a father, Eximen...., ah no, Liu Renjie will listen to the eldest brother in the future." Liu Renjie said solemnly.

"Well, well, very good, very good, Renjie, you go and call those people who are with me."

"Yes, big brother."

Not long after, Ma Tianjun, Zhang Tieniu and He Ergou all entered the chamber.

Liu Renyu will accept Liu Renjie as a righteous brother and say to everyone, Liu Renjie and everyone salute each other, calling him uncle. Everyone smiled and accepted the salute, and then congratulated Liu Renyu on adding a brother-in-law.

After seeing the ceremony, Liu Renyu said to Ma Tianjun: "Tianjun, my righteous brother used to be a beggar, naturally he has never read, and now I will hand him over to you, you have to tell him to read, read, reason, and be an understanding person." ”

"Yes, my lord, the Emperor of Heaven should do his best."

"Renjie, don't hurry up and apprentice."

"The master is above, please accept the ....... of Ximen, ah no, Liu Renjie bows." After speaking, Peng Peng snapped a few times.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Ma Tianjun helped Liu Renjie with both hands, and the gift of apprenticeship was a great achievement.

In the next few days, everyone wandered around, Liu Renjie and Ma Tianjun studied, and Liu Renyu thought about the future development of Zhenbeibao.

On the 5th, the appointed time came, and Li Jiye and Yang Desheng should also come back, but Liu Renyu didn't know if this transaction could be done.

Just when he was anxious, He Ergou suddenly came to report: "My lord, they are back." ”

"Oh, go, come with me to meet them."

Outside the inn, Yang Desheng and Li Jiye were tying their horses, seeing Liu Renyu and others, they had a pleasantry, and when Liu Renjie called them uncle, they were stunned at first, and then they suddenly heard Liu Renyu say one or two. The two of them congratulated themselves for a while.

After saying the kind words, Liu Renyu welcomed Yang Desheng and Li Jiye into the house, and asked, "How are things going?" ”

Li Jiye and Yang Desheng looked at each other and smiled, and said with some pride: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." After speaking, the two of them worked together to lift the two large boxes in front of Liu Renyu's eyes.

Liu Renyu suddenly felt something in his heart, grabbed a few steps ahead and walked to the box, opened it and looked, I wiped it, white silver, this volume, and there are two boxes, I'm afraid it is not a thousand taels.

"How did you do it, did you sell horses or Ferraris?" Liu Renyu asked in surprise.

"What? What is Ferrari? ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, the famous horses of the Roman Empire in the past are very valuable." Liu Renyu said that he missed his mouth for a while, and hurriedly remedied.

"Oh, that's it, tell me how we sell horses." Li Jiye is eloquent, so he speaks from him.

"In fact, it's very simple to say, we sell horses, ordinary people can't afford to buy it, only landlords and big businessmen can buy it. On the day of selling horses, Xu is luck was lucky, and met a few rich sons, all of whom were brave and ruthless, and the cubs sold Ye Tian's heart, in order to compare, they changed the law to raise the price, originally a horse, the amount was only going to be sold for 100 taels, and they were carried to 300 taels. They thought that since they were selling for such a high price, they might as well sell their own horses and buy cheap horses elsewhere. So, we sold 8 horses for 2,400 taels, and we bought another horse, each of which was only 80 taels. Li Jiye said with a smile.

"You're so calculating." He Ergou said admiringly.

"Not only do you know how to fight, but you also have the skills to do business." Zhang Tieniu admired.

Only Liu Renyu said inappropriately: "Profiteer." ”

Li Jiye and Yang Desheng knew that Liu Renyu was praising them in disguise, so they smiled indifferently.

With more than 2,000 taels of start-up capital, the foundation of Zhenbeibao can start planning, and the great cause in Liu Renyu's heart will also start to start.

"Hedong Shanxi has always been full of mines, and naturally it is also rich in miners, you take a Lang Zhong to recruit some miners, let Lang Zhong take a look, and find those who do not have tuberculosis and other dark diseases. We don't have enough money now, so let's recruit 36 people, and if we have family members, we will also recruit family members, and in terms of salary, each person can do at most one or two per month, but not more. How, can it be done? ”

"Jiye received the order, but I don't know where the miners will go after they are recruited, whether they will come here again, or will they go directly to Zhenbei Fort?"

"Just go directly to Zhenbei Fort, I'll wait for you there."

"Yes, let's go."

"Oh, by the way, you should bring less silver taels, so as not to bring too much and be robbed on the road."

"yes, I see." After speaking, Li Jiye walked away.

After Liu Renyu finished explaining the task to Li Jiye, he said to Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, and He Ergou: "The three of you go to various states and counties separately to find homeless homeless people, remember that we have to recruit those who drag their families and have more than two men in the family, or a big family with more than two daughters in the family, and those who are alone and only two of them, don't do it, remember, when you go to recruit people, you are not allowed to be overflowing with compassion, and you do not recruit people according to my requirements, if I see that you recruit some old and weak people who have no family, I will not rest with you, remember? ”

"Yes, sir, I wrote it down." Zhang Tieniu said.

"Oh, by the way, second brother, how many people should you recruit?" Yang Desheng suddenly remembered that Liu Renyu didn't say how many people to recruit, so he asked.

"Post 400, when the time comes, I will give you some silver, every time you go to a place, I will buy some grain, recruit displaced people, and give them food if they want to come, but they can't be too full. Do you remember? ”

"Remember." Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, and He Ergou said in unison.

"Well, well, after we have recruited people, we will camp in the north outside the city, and in a few days we will go north to Zhenbei Fort."

"Yes," the three commanded.

The people who received the task were gone, and Liu Renyu went to Zhao Datie's place and asked him if he had stopped picking up, and Zhao Datie had already packed up and was just waiting to set off.

Liu Renyu first paid three months' salary of 3 taels of silver, and asked Zhao Datie to buy it, and then said that he still had some things to do, and he would notify him in a few days.

Zhao hit the iron and responded. Zhao Cuizhi saw Liu Renyu, thinking that the red head rope promised last time had not been fulfilled, so he clamored for it, Zhao hit the iron and scolded repeatedly, Liu Renyu only smiled and didn't care, he gave one or two silver to Zhao Cuizhi very simply, and let Zhao Cuizhi, the little lady, buy it by herself.

Since Zhao Cuizhi was born, He Zeng had received so many silver taels at one time, and her eyes were instantly filled with little stars.

Looking at Zhao Cuizhi's intoxicated appearance, Liu Renyu secretly sighed: "Well, it feels good to be a local tyrant. ”

After a few days of hard work, Yang Desheng and others did quite smoothly in recruiting homeless people, and homeless people were everywhere, so when recruiting people, these people also increased the conditions, the men should be handsome, and the women should be pleasing to the eye.

Liu Renyu has no opinion on the nonsensical behavior of these people, anyway, the task is handed over to them, as long as they don't recruit aliens.

In this way, the affairs in Jingbian Fort City are finished. Liu Renyu took the old generals of Duntai to Sun Kuisheng to report to him, and then led a group of people to wait under the guidance of the guide, and drove to Zhenbei Fort.

Zhenbei Fort is 30 miles away from Jingbian Fort City, walking, one day can arrive, in order to rush to Zhenbei Fort early, before dawn, Liu Renyu urged everyone to set off.

After walking for 6 hours, in the afternoon, everyone drove to Zhenbei Fort.

Finally came to his own territory, Liu Renyu was not excited, but when he saw the appearance of Zhenbei Fort City, he could no longer be excited.

So what did Liu Renyu see?

He saw the collapsed city, Zhenbei Fort City didn't even have a gate, the market was full of garbage and human and animal feces, most of the buildings on both sides of the street were low and dilapidated, and the people who lived here were like zombies in Resident Evil, all slowly and leisurely out of which corner, looking at Liu Renyu and the others with a blank look.

Liu Renyu walked while watching, the guide won Liu Renyu's reward silver, and seemed to be quite interested, he may know that Liu Renyu was a little surprised by the scene of Zhenbei Fort, so he explained to himself: "Zhenbei Fort City is still repaired in the Jiajing period to guard against the northern captives, in Longqing, Wanli years There are still soldiers guarding, to the time of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the imperial court can not pay the silver, taxes are pressed frequently, plus the Mongols from time to time to plunder south, the defenders here are scattered, and the people have fled eight or nine times out of ten, Now those who remain here are people who really don't want to go far, and they have heard that this place is poor, and even the Mongols know about it. Every year the Mongols go south, and other places suffer, but here the Mongols do not come. So, Lord Liu, you are here in Tuntian, not to mention anything else, at least the Mongols will not come to you for trouble. ”

After the guide finished speaking, he felt that there was no good place to go in Zhenbei Fort City, so he naturally had no interest in staying, so he confessed his guilt to Liu Renyu, and then turned his horse and rushed to Jingbian Fort City. 30 miles of road, no rest on the road, urge the horsepower, that is, half a day's work can return to Jingbian Fort City.

Liu Renyu took everyone to an open space in the center of Zhenbeibao, told everyone to rest on the spot first, and then he began to assign tasks, "Everyone followed me Liu to Zhenbeibao, according to the agreement, I will always give everyone a bite to eat, so that everyone can live in this famine year." Now you must first find a place to live on your own, and take a look at the room in the fort, and if it is empty, borrow it first, and if not, build a temporary shack to live in temporarily. Everyone walked for a day, and the road was quite tiring, so let's take a good rest. At dusk, I bring food to everyone, and when everyone hears the sound of gongs, they come out to eat with dishes and chopsticks. ”

After listening to Liu Renyu's instructions, everyone took the family as a unit to find a place to settle on their own. Liu Renyu and others found the mansion of the former military attaché and settled down hastily, Liu Renyu first arranged the work of guarding the duty, and then asked Li Chengfeng to select strong women among the homeless people, set up the stove, and boil gruel. According to Liu Renyu's requirements, this gruel must be boiled into jelly, and chopsticks can not be poured on it.

At dusk, after everyone had eaten, everyone rested except for those who patrolled at night. Liu Renyu planned to let everyone rest their spirits so that they could start assigning tasks on the second day to rebuild Zhenbei Fort.
