Chapter 11: The Journey

"Boys, do a good job, I'll go to the fake Sima and apply for extra food for you later." A middle-aged captain said to several young men pushing grain and grass next to him.

"Thank you, Captain Wu," the young guys said politely.

"Wu Chang, is Liu Yuanjun really not going to kill us?" A young man boldly asked. After all, he still remembers the massacre three days ago. Several other guys also looked at the middle-aged Wu Elder with hopeful eyes.

"You silly boy," the middle-aged man said, patting him on the head.

"The lord wants to kill you, three days ago. Where will you be left to waste food?"

After listening to the words of the middle-aged Wu Chang, these young men also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they were all frightened a few days ago.

The middle-aged Wu Chang smiled and continued: "When you arrive in Xixiang, you may be a Tuntian slave for a year, after all, you were defeated and captured. And not the one who took refuge in it. "It only takes a day to go from a good guy to a bad guy, but it takes a long time to go from a bad guy to a good guy. The setting of Tuntian slaves is to get rid of the bad habits of these thieves. It's a bit like a labor camp in later generations. However, it is much simpler and cruder than a labor camp.

The mood of all the guys was a little low, after all, Tuntian Nu knew that it was not a good thing when he heard it.

"But what? Don't worry, if you get there, just talk less and do more, and behave positively, maybe you will be able to come out in a few months. When will it be? You can become a tuntian householder like me, and have your own public land."

"Gongtian?"

"Yes, Gongtian. It's equivalent to the public renting it to us. But what? What about taxes? It's heavier, and if you work hard to farm, it's still okay to be full."

The guys on the other side are quite satisfied with this. There are not many places where you can farm with peace of mind these days.

"If you want to live better, you have to be a soldier"

"Warrior?"

"It's that group of people," the middle-aged captain pointed to a group of soldiers who were patrolling and wearing uniform red robes.

"The warriors not only own public land, but also have corresponding private land." The middle-aged Wu Chang said with some envy.

"Private land?"

"Private land is the land allocated by the government to the military soldiers. After becoming a military pawn, the tax on both public and private land will be greatly reduced. Not only that, but after five years of military service, the private land will be completely owned by the military soldiers."

"That's great, so how can you become a warrior?" The group of lads eagerly asked questions. In ancient times, you can never imagine how much people loved the land and how crazy they were. Especially these people who have been adrift for a long time have a long desire to own their own land.

"First of all, you have to become a tuntian, but it's very simple. Because every year, Sima would take turns to train Tuntian pawns in groups. In wartime, a part of the gang will be drawn to form a town. If you want to become a soldier, you must have a decapitation in wartime, and generally if you have a decapitation, you will become a reserve soldier, and if the military department lacks a number, you will recruit a reserve soldier, and the more beheadings, the higher the priority. ”

After listening to this, these guys were also full of enthusiasm. No one doesn't want to live a good life. No homeless person can resist the temptation of land. In the turbulent north of China, after there is hope, there are really not many homeless people who want to be salted fish.

"Uncle, who are the ones in white robes?" One of the curious boys asked boldly.

"They are the sovereign's personal guards, the elite of the army, and everyone is carefully selected from among the soldiers. But don't think about it, it's too hard. The middle-aged Wu Chang said.

"What about those who have strange beasts embroidered on their backs? (The armor of the guard armor is the pinnacle of the two Jin Dynasty, Mingguang Kai, weighing dozens of catties.) No one is stupidly dressed in non-war times. In Chapter 9, Fei Xiang led a team to ambush the bald man. The main thing is that he is busy catching up, and secondly, he is very confident in his own strength, so he doesn't wear armor. The curious baby then asked (not everyone knows Kirin).

"Silly boy, that's a Kirin. They are guards".

"Armor? What kind of existence are they?" wondered the curious baby.

The middle-aged Wu Chang took a breath and continued, "Some people say that they are warriors who have been blessed by the One True God, and some people say that they are possessed by the devil who escaped from the heavenly court. Each of them has the strength to fight against ten. Like what is tearing a living person, clicking on a tiger and leopard is even more common"

"How is that possible?".

"In fact, many of us have seen it with our own eyes, and you must not mess with them, they are the most unprovoked people in the whole of Saigo."

After the middle-aged Wu Chang spoke, the scene was much colder, and these guys didn't know whether they were shocked or shocked or frightened.

For a long time, a young man said quietly: "The husband should be like this, if I am a guard, I am willing to be a demon." ”

……

The whole team, there are many similar teams. The blood gift of three days ago was Wei, and now it's time to be gracious. Let these young beggars understand that Saigo is the first step of mercy, and we must first give them hope to live and live better.

In addition, there are many women of working age, except for some who have husbands, and the husbands are arranged in the convoy, and the rest will be allowed to be married to unmarried meritorious soldiers. This is probably the best arrangement for them.

Of course, there are also some old and weak. However, Liu Ye only took the children away, and as for the rest, Liu Ye only gave them a small amount of food, and let them destroy themselves. Of course, it was released two days after Liu Ye's convoy left. Liu Ye is not a benevolent hall, Liu Ye, who has spent three years in the troubled times, has a very dark heart.

Knowing people and making good use of them is a necessary factor for every great monarch. In addition to understanding people's talents, we must also understand people's character, and making good use of them is to put the right people in the right position, rather than putting talented people in the place where they are talented. Today, it is the imperial power and the gate valve who rule the world together. Gate valves have reached their peak. It has even surpassed the imperial power. Liu Yeruo wants to show his ambition. Then contact with these Maison valves is essential. In the future, Liu Ye's subordinates will definitely be filled with these people. Then maintaining the balance of power has become an indispensable learning project for Liu Ye. As for some traversers, it is simply unrealistic to rely on the cold door to hang the door valve, and as for the "imperial examination system", the big killer of the traversers, it is even more useless. Nowadays, almost all books and other intellectual resources are in the hands of the Maison. Believe it or not, after a imperial examination, ninety percent of them are children of the family, and it is not advisable to offend almost all the families for no reason. The current Hanmen Shu clan is too weak compared to a hundred years later, and a thousand years later.

Of course, the Shu clan and the Shi clan are not the same. Just like the tattered young man in front of him who was biting on salted jerky.

Liu Ye admired the young man in front of him very much. Without soaking it in water, it directly crushed the salted jerky that was as hard as a stone. To be honest, Liu Ye was really afraid that he would choke to death.

Liu Ye couldn't help but say: "Brother Qian, slow down, there are still here, no one will rob you." ”

Qian Jin swallowed the meat in his mouth, took a big sip of water and said: "Let Liu Yuanjun laugh, thank you Liu Yuanjun for rescuing me this time, otherwise I will have to be a thief?" disgrace to the ancestors".

Liu Ye continued: "I don't know what Brother Qian's plans are."

Qian Jin said in a low voice: "The family has been wiped out, and the clan has been destroyed." The Qian family has declined, and to be honest, I don't know what to do. ”

"Brother Qian will not give up, please go back to Xixiang with a certain person. Although Xixiang is small, there is a gentleman at the table," Liu Ye invited.

"Meet the Lord today." Qian Jin immediately bowed.
