A shout of anger did not calm the anger in the hearts of the people.

They have a feeling of being exploited.

And just when they were still shouting like this, Qin Tian led people out.

"Why the noise?" Qin Tian's voice was not loud, but after he opened his mouth like this, the entire front of the military camp fell silent.

Qin Tian, the marquis of the Tang Dynasty, still has this majesty, at least many people are very convinced of him.

"Master Hou, I heard that the relief food from the imperial court has come down, hasn't it?"

One man stood up and asked, he was the elected leader of the group.

Qin Tian nodded: "Yes, the relief grain from the imperial court has indeed been transported. ”

"Master Hou, I heard that the relief food from the imperial court is going to be distributed to us free of charge, right?"

Everyone looked at Qin Tian, and what they had to do with it was this question the most.

"But in all the places where the locusts plague, those who have no plan for life are among the court's relief."

Hearing this, the front of the entire military camp suddenly became in an uproar again, they didn't expect that these were all true, and those relief grains should indeed be given to them for free.

However, the hustle and bustle soon stopped again, and it was still that person, and he continued to ask: "Since the disaster relief food should be given to us for free, why doesn't Hou Ye give it to us, but ask us to exchange it for locusts?" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Qin Tian again, Qin Tian looked at them and asked, "This question, Ben Hou can answer you, but before answering you, Ben Hou needs to ask you a few questions, what will you do if the disaster relief food is given to you?" ”

"Naturally, I used this food to survive."

"How long do you live? A month, or two months? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the relief food of the imperial court was only about a month or two.

They also didn't understand what Qin Tian meant by this.

"Your crops are almost already eaten by the locusts, so what if you are given a month or two of relief food? If you don't get rid of the locusts, how will you spend the next six months? ”

Everyone hadn't thought about this problem, but when Qin Tian said it, they had to think about it.

"Now Ben Hou is here to answer your question, why does Ben Hou want you to exchange locusts for disaster relief food, because Ben Hou wants everyone to unite and destroy locusts, locusts are exterminated, even if your crops are gone in the first half of the year, but in the second half of the year, you can also plant crops and vegetables, these crops and vegetables can make your second half of the year not starving, of course, some people may say, locusts will not be long after the locusts jump, a month or two later, they will die, you are right, locusts will also die, When late autumn comes, the locusts will not survive, but at that time, will you still be able to grow crops, and will you have that time to wait for the locusts to die? ”

Qin Tian's words were deafening, and the people in front of the barracks were speechless, and they all suddenly felt a little touched, but that feeling could not be described in words.

"The imperial court does have disaster relief grain, but this batch of disaster relief grain is not much, my Datang is not rich now, and we still have to accumulate enough food as grain and grass to fight with the Turks, to blood the shame of my Datang, and the locusts will not be destroyed, do you have to rely on the court like this all the time to live?"

"Everyone wants to get something for nothing, but what I want to say is that what you get through your hard work is worthy of your heart, and Ben Hou wants to lead you to destroy the locust plague."

Qin Tian glanced at everyone and said, "Okay, Ben Hou's words have been finished, what do you mean, continue to exterminate locusts, or just want to survive with the relief food of the imperial court?" ”

It was quiet in front of the barracks, and everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, the people stood up.

"Master Hou, aren't they just locusts, we followed you and killed them."

"That's right, we have also achieved a lot during this time, there are no locusts within five miles outside Dangyang City, tomorrow, we will go farther away, and we must exterminate all the locusts."

"That is, exterminate the locusts and return my homeland......"

"Exterminate the locusts, return my homeland ......"

The people shouted loudly, they were awakened by Qin Tian's words, and they understood that if the locust plague was not eliminated for a day, their days would become more and more difficult.

Who doesn't want to have a better life?

One by one, the people retreated, and they went farther away to catch locusts, which was their own homeland, and they wanted to restore it with their own hands.

Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

Now the people are more energetic than ever, and he believes that within ten days, the locust plague will be destroyed.

And after the locust plague is extinguished, he can almost raise troops and attack Jingzhou City.

------------------

Qin Tian waited in the barracks, and two days later, Luo Huang escorted Zhang An over.

"Master Hou, this lame man is hiding in an abandoned mansion, if it weren't for a soldier who found out that there was something strange in the abandoned mansion, we really couldn't find him."

Speaking of this, Luo Huang said again: "This is also not the police dog brought, otherwise he would have been caught in a day." ”

Luo Huang said, Qin Tian glanced at Zhang An, this lame man, when he was arrested, he was unusually calm.

It seems that in this world, there is nothing that can make waves for him.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Qin Tian's mouth: "You are a smart person, but if Ben Hou wants to kill you, it is just a matter of one sentence, and you have no effect on Ben Hou." ”

If it was very cold, Zhang An's expression moved slightly, but he quickly recovered.

"However, Ben Hou has a question, if you are willing to answer, Ben Hou can spare your life and let you go back."

Zhang An didn't speak, and Qin Tian didn't wait for him to speak, so he asked directly: "When the rebels in Yangcheng all have good blades in their hands, they don't want to be the configuration that the tribe should have, even if the Chu King of your family has a big business, just afraid of getting so many weapons, it is by no means an easy thing, after all, it costs a lot of money, I want to know, how did your Chu King do this." ”

Since ancient times, weapons have been a very expensive thing, and when all the weapons owned by the 10,000 rebels in Yangcheng are built, it is impossible to do without tens of thousands of dollars.

But in many cases, weapons are not something that can be solved with money, you have to have iron.

During this time, Qin Tian had already thought about this problem, and his absolute greatest possibility was that iron ore was discovered in the fiefdom of the King of Chu, and with iron ore, it was possible to build a large number of weapons.

Now, though, he needs to be confirmed.

Zhang An glanced up at Qin Tian, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You think I'll be fooled?" ”

"Is there iron ore in the fief of the king of Chu?"

Zhang An's expression moved slightly, Qin Tian already had a score in his heart after seeing it, but then, Zhang An smiled again: "Don't want to know this from my mouth." ”

"I'm sorry, you're going to die."
