Chapter 116: Buying People's Hearts

There are not many family members in the Zhang family, an old wife of Zhang Hanhu, sick and crooked, trembling with a concubine of Zhang Hanhu, and a small child, a boy.

The three of them came to Lu Peng, knelt down and thanked Lu Peng for not killing, and the old wife promised that her concubine son would never seek revenge on Lu Peng, and with Lu Peng's heart, she was afraid that Lu Peng would regret it.

Lu Peng shook his hand indifferently: "Revenge is a matter of strength, wait until your son is older, see if he can get close to my side." Then he ordered his subordinates to take a heavy burden, which was full of real money, and threw it to the kid: "Take it, save some so that your family will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”

As a result, the child actually kowtowed to Lu Peng and said: "My lord, my father must have this retribution for being a thief, this is fate, of course I don't resent you, as for the jewelry you gave, I don't want it, I ask you to leave our family to settle with you." ”

Lu Peng glanced at this kid with interest, this kid was only eleven or twelve years old, but when he said such a thing, it seemed that he was still a precocious person.

At this time, Zhang Hanhu's wife hurriedly blocked the child's mouth, told him to forgive again and again, and grabbed the package on the ground and pulled the concubine and the child to leave, and now her heart is to leave here as far away as possible.

As a result, the child broke free from the eldest mother's hand and said to the eldest mother: "Auntie, you and my mother are both women, and I am still a child. ”

This is a fact, now the world is in chaos, the homeless people are everywhere, two women with a child, and jewelry, will be cooked and eaten by the rogues in the blink of an eye.

It seems that this kid is really very assertive, and he is very good.

was said like this, Zhang Hanhu's old wife was also at a loss, going down the mountain is death, and staying here, once this official repents, it will also be a death.

At this time, the child knelt down for Lu Peng again: "My aunt was born in a poor family, my mother was robbed by my damn father, and my mother and son were bullied by that horn, so not only do I not hate you, but I also thank you for avenging the three of our mothers, so I ask you to take them in." ”

Lu Peng squinted his eyes and waited for the kid to finish speaking, and then said with a smile: "I agree to your request, I will take your family to my base area, when you get to the base area, you will go to my school to study, be one of my registered disciples, if you have achieved something in the future, I will promote you to be my staff and cronies." As for whether you and I will resolve or continue the enmity in the future, then each depends on his own heart. Then he waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to take the three Jeans out.

Seeing the three people gone, Lu Peng, who was originally smiling and careless, suddenly darkened his face and said to Zhang Yan: "After you escort the people to the base area, tell Wu Tao that you must always keep an eye on this little guy and never slack off." ”

Zhang Yan was puzzled, she was still generous just now, why did she lose her face in a blink of an eye, this change is also a little faster.

Lu Peng squinted his eyes, pinched his bare chin and said: "At a young age, in order to survive, I have moved such a scheming, and my speech and demeanor are even more calm. ”

Xi Zhen said suspiciously: "Since this son is so dangerous, why don't you get rid of it as soon as possible?" ”

Lu Peng shook his head and explained to everyone with deep meaning: "First, Zhang Hanhu and his son have been running the cottage for more than ten years, and it is false to say that they are unpopular, if I kill his family now, even if the three of them have an accident recently, the hearts of these tens of thousands of people will be resentful of me, then I can't completely take over these people, therefore, these three people can't be killed." ”

Zhang Yan and Xi Zhen suddenly realized that what everyone lacks now is the population of the people, if the more than 10,000 people do not wait with themselves, it will become a burden, if they stay and treat the three of them well, they can accept the hearts of more than 10,000 people, at this time, several people have to admire Lu Peng's scheming.

"Second, I will take in the son of the enemy, not only to leave a good reputation of generosity and tolerance, which will be beneficial for me to recruit talents in the future, but also to put a tiger behind me, which will make me always vigilant and always work hard." Then he looked at his subordinates with a stunned face, and said very seriously: "Being chased by a tiger, the speed of running will definitely be faster than usual." ”

Is this some kind of logic.

The transfer of more than 10,000 people is not a small family move, even if there is a little pot and pot pot is not, the so-called broken family is difficult to give up, everyone heard that they want to move to the Savage Valley, and each person can be divided into five acres of flat land, 15 acres of mountainous land, and as long as 50 catties of grain are paid per acre, there is no other tax, this news of course makes people happy, the most important thing, or those who are young and strong, they got the news that they entered the Savage Valley, not only the old and weak have a fixed ration, but the young and strong in addition to serving three years of military service, The workers also get extra food for their wages, which is a good thing for a pie in the sky, so everyone rejoices, and everyone begins to busily organize their simple belongings.

However, the more destitute people are, the more reluctant they are to throw away even a needle and thread, so when Lu Peng saw the things that the people were carrying, he was about to run away.

Bamboo mats, curtains, tattered clothes are still second, tables, chairs, benches, pots and pots are even more outrageous, among which someone has to take away the stone carved horse trough, where is this moving? This is simply moving the entire cottage away, if you take these things with you, just a hundred miles away, don't go on a monkey year.

So Lu Peng immediately ordered that only clothes and farm tools should be brought with him, and all other bulky things should be discarded.

All the people resolutely resisted such a barbaric order, and you don't see that these people almost stood by when the fortress was about to be breached, but when it came to their own property, their resistance was quite high.

There was no way, in order to coerce these people into his base in the Savage Valley, and to be a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing, he had to promise these people in person that he would force all the abandoned family property to be purchased by himself at a discount, but there was a huge problem here, the people did not say that it was a stupid furniture, and even the house pit was considered a property, and they were noisily bargaining with Lu Peng's soldiers.

This is people's greed, if Lu Peng directly took these people as prisoners and sent them back to the Savage Valley directly, it is estimated that none of these people would dare to resist, and once mercy appeared, these people began to become greedy.

If you relocate at this rate, it seems that you won't be able to return to the base of the Savage Valley next year, and there is really no way to force it, so Lu Peng also gave up the fake mask of loving the people and directly demolished it.

Ordered 4,000 soldiers to drive all the people to the square, only allowed them to bring a small amount of clothes and belongings, and then Lu Peng ordered to set fire, countless torches were thrown in the original dilapidated slums, the fire immediately rose to the sky, burning like day, watching their homes burned down, hundreds of people cried and called their mothers to beat their chests, but in the face of Lu Peng's soldiers' bright guns, they were helpless at this time.

When the people were beating their chests and crying, basins of fragrant rice were carried over by the soldiers and put on the square, and Lu Peng stood on the high platform and shouted to everyone: "Now I give you two a choice, either cry vigorously or eat vigorously." ”

As a result, the aroma of rice overcame their cherishing of those dilapidated houses, and people flocked to those rice bowls, and they had not smelled such fragrant rice for a long time, and they had not been able to let go of eating like this for a long time, so all the people were in the light of the raging fire of their homes, frantically grabbing the rice, grabbing it with their hands, wrapping it in their clothes, anyway, they tried everything they could, hoping that they could get more food, and during this period, they directly supported a few deaths.

When everyone was full of food and drink, they knelt all over the ground in this square, and sang loudly to praise Lu Peng's benevolence.

This is the people of this era, one bite of food, you can completely conquer them, make them forget the murderer who destroyed the family, and let them only remember your benefits.

The next day, the handling was completed, leaving Zhang Yan with a group of brothers to organize the people of the cottage to withdraw to his base in the Savage Valley, and Lu Peng took 3,000 men and horses to kill directly to the Zhao family.
