After the review meeting, everyone began to be busy with their own work, originally an important decision at the meeting was to equip the spearmen with short knives, but later Lu Shi got the advice of several veterans of the battle formation, the spearmen are easy to practice, the sword soldiers are difficult to achieve, so that the spearmen wear multiple positions, that the combat effectiveness of the spearmen is a kind of attrition, so Lu Shi from the advice, and after discussing with Geng Kui, the star of the sky, decided to recruit a group of men, form a sword and shield soldiers, and temporarily led the training by Geng Kui, who was born in the military and knew a little about sword and shield.

The establishment of the sword and shield troops, which increased the workload of Zhao Blacksmith, there is no way, the big battle is about to be delayed, the soldiers have begun to organize the training of short-cut street fighting, and these equipment are urgently needed. But fortunately, the treatment of the craftsman camp is good, the respect of everyone is high, and everyone's enthusiasm is also high, and they all start to work hard without black and white.

At this meeting, it was also analyzed that Zhang Yuan's gang should not come to encircle and suppress so quickly after receiving this blow, which gave everyone a rare time to adjust.

After this meeting, Lu Shi once again sent a messenger to the landlord Haoqiang's house in his sphere of influence, and once again discussed the measures to reduce rent and interest to pay protection fees, and the Zhao family set an example, this time the effect was surprisingly good, no landlord Haoqiang opposed, at least there was no opposition on the surface, so he also collected a lot of materials and grain, enriched the warehouse of the cottage, with these food materials, the base area can be more generous to those idle people's wages, carry out the construction of the base area, and also increase the income of the people. The disguised implementation of the old policy of cash-for-work made the third uncle and others laugh from ear to ear.

At the same time, Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing also sent a lot of teams to escort part of the income to the pole cottages in various spheres of influence, first, don't really block the way of each pole to live, so that they can have a living income without looting, so that they will not meet the army and soldiers, and it will not work to eat alone.

Second, try to teach them the construction methods of their old camp, hoping that they can also slowly take the road of building their own like the old camp in Huluyu.

Each pole also knows that attacking those rich forts with their own strength is simply self-defeating, and the looting of those small landlord villages is thankless, there is no oil and water, and they are happy to get the help and guidance of the Black Tiger Village, after all, everyone is still a good citizen who has lost their land and homeland, who does not want to rely on their own hands to work to survive, and is willing to work hard? Which one is not the flesh and blood raised by the father's biological parents? For a time, there was a rare peaceful scene in this rich county, the pole was stable, and the tenants were at ease, but the life of the officials was not easy, but who else cared about them?

Such a move by the army made the county magistrate of Fuxian cry and laugh.

Originally, the world was peaceful in his county, so it should be too late for him to be happy, but in fact, he was even more depressed.

I have been studying hard for ten years and looking forward to getting ahead, and I finally won the promotion, but I am still a candidate, and I have been hanging an idle product at home. He summoned a lot of money up and down to finally get the real shortage of the rich county order, and the happy appointment was in line with the great skills on the road to getting rich, and was first washed clean by the predecessor who was promoted in the name of recruiting bandits, and was looted again by the mutinous border army, and then looted again by the army of bandits, and now he can't even get an overnight meal when he arrives, and the rich merchants in the city come to catch the wind one by one to prepare for the robbery of the thief and the predecessor and cry poor, and the wind receiving instrument for himself is not enough to reissue the book office and the master of the master, let alone make up for his own expenses.

Although the situation of the local thieves was reported according to the truth, and the upper hand was also given an unprecedented reduction, but it was only a reduction and reduction, and it was still required.

The top exempted himself from the taxes of the county, but he could not exempt the below, so he sent officials to collect miscellaneous donations everywhere to make up for the shortfall, and there was a surplus that was not to think about it this year, so I had to wait for next year.

But in this way, it is also a thousand difficulties, first of all, the rich squires in this city don't think about it, they have a shallow foundation when they first come here, and they can't move their filial piety for the time being, so let's knock on the bones and marrow of those small people.

But after these battles, the civilians around the county have fled to the Black Tiger Village, and there are still some in the distance, but the waves sent out have not ended.

The small group of officials sent to the countryside to urge, but they must have been attacked by poles that they don't know where they came from, and everyone was in danger. The gains outweigh the losses from the large shares. This time I was really helpless, I discussed with my master for a long time, found a landlord with no background, and set up a name to send dozens of officials to help me go there to blackmail.

got the hand of the county respect, these officials and officials helped idle, and went to the house with knives and guns, looking for the landlord's bad luck, and also left a little melon and two dates to live by the way.

The landlord generously agreed, and also bought some wine, meat, vegetables and vegetables to entertain, and everyone presented a small red envelope, and the children of that family also set off fireworks happily when the adults were entertained with good wine and meat. When asked, the landlord said happily; "When the children see how lively they are, they are happy, so everyone should have fun and be happy, come, drink, and eat."

Everyone was happy to eat.

After eating and drinking, the officials counted the income and said goodbye to each other, which made the leading officials wonder very much, why did the gentry of the Ming Dynasty change their temperament? In this way, if it is left in the past, it will not move out of the family of several generations of officials and gentry, and all kinds of friendships and the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty are a dime, where is it still so cooperative?

But when the landlord not only did not frown but also enthusiastically sent these officials and tigers and wolves out of the village, before everyone came back to their senses in the enthusiasm, they heard the village door slam behind them and close tightly, as if there was a flood and beasts were about to come.

The official just shook his head and smiled, for himself like this, people should indeed be like this, and everyone does not doubt him, to be honest, which landlord is strong and strong, including Xiaomin, welcomes people like himself? If it weren't for the fact that he was still wearing this skin, he would have been beaten to death many times, but with this skin on behalf of the government, the small people and the landlord Haoqiang only dared to be angry with themselves and did not dare to speak. This is also human nature.

This well-fed and well-fed official errand rode on a donkey, shaved the flesh in the tooth flower, greeted those helpers, escorted the materials that were forced to pull, and was still happy that he could complete the assignment at the top and that he had a very good income, but he saw the dust not far away, the iron hooves rumbled, and he was stunned, and he saw a cavalry like a flame swept away, and he couldn't help but say, a burst of knives and horses kicked, and in a blink of an eye, the wind turned like a remnant cloud and cut off everyone's heads, and a few clever turned around and ran, Went straight to the landlord's village, hoping to open the door for protection, but saw that there was no half a figure on the village, even if you shouted through your throat and didn't make a sound, you could only watch the bright saber cut off your head.

When there was no one left, the gate of the fort was opened, and the landlord smiled and ordered someone to bring back the grain, grass and silver money extorted by the government to his own house. "My king ordered that this time I won't take half a cent from your family, you have paid protection fees, no matter which one comes to you to fight the autumn breeze, we will take care of it. I won't take half a cent from your family this time, and it will be the same next time. As long as you reduce the rent and interest according to the agreement, you can treat your tenants and villagers well. "Knock your feet on the horse and shout;" Brothers, let's go, shout. ”

And all the horsemen who followed shouted together; "The Black Tiger Army is doing something, and the idlers are out of the way." Gone from the dust. Leaving a bunch of tears in the eyes of the landlord and his tenants.

What the landlord felt was that this thief's trustworthiness was a thousand times better than that of officials and soldiers.

The tenant was moved by the fact that the king of Chuang really thought about us small people everywhere, if it was really as the king of Chuang stipulated, the owner reduced the land rent to fifty percent, then although there may still be a big drought next year, but how much can give his family half a year of full food, if you add some wild vegetables or something, your family will live.

When the landlord turned back, he saw that his tenant's eyes were no longer dead or full of hatred and fear, but with gratitude and respect.

The landlord suddenly felt so comfortable and happy to walk in such a gaze, and couldn't help slowing down his pace a lot, and said secretly in his heart; "After a while, I will call my wife out and walk around the village, and feel the joy and comfort brought to me by this different gaze, should I lower the rent by another percent? Anyway, I can't eat it for me, and it hasn't changed my life, but it's a grateful buy for these hardships. "Think about the stubborn Zhao Jiabao just for this extra few stones of grain every year, why bother, it's really not worth it for them.

"When I go back, I have to send someone to send a letter to my in-laws on the other side of the mountain, from the Black Tiger Army, one is peaceful, and the other is to live with peace of mind and happiness like me, that's the idea."

The county magistrate of Fuxian County is waiting for the good news of the officials in the lobby like ants on a hot pot, calculating the time and daylight, the errand should also return with a full load, isn't it drunk and delayed? If so, see how I spend on you.

was wandering, but never thought that a person like Zhuang Ding was led in by the messenger outside the yamen, and when Zhuang Ding saw the county honor, he knelt down and cried without waiting to speak.

The county respected that something bad was going on, and asked with a trembling heart; "Who are you? What are you crying when you see this county? ”

The Zhuang Ding did not dare to raise his head, and cried; "Qiyu County Zun Lord, I am the head of the Li Yuanwai family in the east of the city, the first half of the time you sent the official master to my staff outside the house to raise some donations, my lord good wine and meat to entertain it, such as according to the county lord Zun Lord's instructions, loaded and delivered to the Xu official lord to ship, but never thought that the old man was surrounded and slashed by a group of thieves in the distance of my village, and when my lord ordered the township Yongzhuang Ding to rush to the rescue, those thieves had killed all the officials and helpers, and took the materials and fled. It's a pity that my family has so many family assets and things, helpless, my family members and grandfathers only ordered the villain to come to report, by the way, report the loss of my family to the big master, please send troops to exterminate the thieves and return the place to stability, and return the loss of my family-. He took out a letter and opened it to read, "My family's loss is—"

The county lord roared; "Shut up, get out of here." A big foot kicked the dealer out of the lobby, and then shouted hoarsely with a bloody face; "Black Tiger Star, Black Tiger Village, you are blocking my financial path, and I am inseparable from you."
