Chapter 67 A Means of Winning the Hearts of the People
3,000 people entered the valley under the escort of hundreds of soldiers without any danger, and for a time people shouted and horses neighed, adults shouted, children laughed, cars and horses sparkled, and the valley, which was already full of vitality, became more lively.
Hao Jian looked at the bustling head, and his heart was very excited. With these 3,000 people, Lord Ben will soon be able to increase his army in a big way, and then he will be able to give the Tartars a good drink.
In order to let these people return to their hearts as soon as possible, and the people's hearts reached more than 50, Hao Jian personally led people to settle these people.
Although these people are about the third master and Guan Hu and other people in Guanjiatun to vouch, but the so-called seeing is believing, hearing is false, and along the way, they are always uneasy in their hearts, and they have everything to say.
And the soldiers of the fortress who looked serious and meticulous were also a little scared at first, but along the way, they saw that these soldiers did not commit any crimes, and helped them with carts, cattle drives, and all kinds of help, and the fear in the hearts of the people gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a kind of trust.
In addition, Hao Jian had already prepared all the reception and resettlement matters, and these people saw that this young adult was so friendly and enthusiastic, and they had a new house to live in as soon as they came, and there were steaming meals to eat, and most of the original nervousness in their hearts disappeared all of a sudden, and many people quickly recovered the bold and lively character of the people of Northern Xinjiang, and laughter and laughter could be seen everywhere.
"Folks, welcome to our Shuanglong Valley. Whether it is the first or the last, here in my Hao Jian, everyone is a family, regardless of each other. In order for everyone to live and work in peace and contentment, I guarantee that everyone can have enough to eat, everyone has a house to live in, every descendant has the ability to learn, and every man has a daughter-in-law to marry. I do what I say. “
Hao Jian stood on a makeshift high platform, waited for the crowd to calm down, and then shouted to the crowd with the cowhide loudspeaker.
"We believe Lord Hao's words, and we won't leave when we come."
"I also believe in Lord Hao, Lord Hao is a man who speaks."
"Lord Hao is a good person, we all believe in you!"
The people below responded excitedly one by one.
Hao Jian pressed down with both hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet. Suddenly, a voice sounded very abruptly: "Lord Hao, I want a daughter-in-law, can you give it to me?" ”
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, all looking at the guy in the crowd who was making a sound.
Hao Jian couldn't help laughing, followed the eyes of the crowd, and found that it was a burly man like a hill, with a height of more than one meter nine according to modern standards, nearly two meters, the arms were as thick as ordinary people's thighs, the muscles on the top were one by one, and the upper body was even thicker, wearing a tattered vest, with his chest exposed, a tuft of black hair on his chest, and his hair was pulled up in a ball at the back of his head, pinned with a branch, full of wild atmosphere.
The man's face was flushed by the laughter of everyone, and his majestic chest was rising and falling violently, but a pair of eyes the size of copper bells kept looking at Hao Jian, as if waiting for his answer.
Hao Jian couldn't help but smile and asked, "This brother, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Shanzhuzi, my lord, you can tell me the truth, can I marry a daughter-in-law?" As soon as the man spoke, his voice was as loud as a thunderclap sounded on the ground, and the voices of the others were suppressed at once.
Even Hao Jian couldn't help but want to cover his ears, this guy is too aggressive.
"Okay, Shanzhuzi, let me ask you, what are you capable of?" Hao Jian asked loudly.
"I can eat, I have a lot of strength, isn't this a skill?" The mountain pillar was stunned for a moment, and the urn sounded angrily.
"You kid can eat it, it's also a skill, the adult is asking about the ability, not to raise pigs, why are you talking about this?" Someone in the crowd burst into laughter.
The mountain pillar was a little embarrassed, his face turned even redder, he scratched the back of his head, and suddenly raised his head and said loudly to Hao Jian: "My lord, I can fight the wild wolves in the mountains with my bare hands, is this a skill?" ”
When Hao Jian heard this, he was happy, this man is really a fierce man, and he actually has this ability. Since ancient times, people who can fight wild wolves are really fierce people.
If this man is placed in the army, he will definitely be a fierce general.
Hao Jian had already developed a heart of love for talent at this time, and said loudly: "Shanzhuzi, of course you are a skill, and it is a great ability." It's just that if you use this ability in the wrong place, it's nothing, and it's difficult to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
"My lord, where do I have to use it in the right place?" Shan Zhuzi's heart to marry a daughter-in-law was really urgent, and he immediately asked.
"Battlefield! If you are definitely a fierce general on the battlefield. Would you like to be a soldier with me? Come with me to kill the Tartars, and then use the military exploits earned from killing the Tartars to marry you a daughter-in-law? Hao Jian said loudly.
"I am willing, I want to kill the Tartar with you, as long as I can marry a daughter-in-law, you can tell me to do anything." The chest of the mountain pillar thumped loudly, and the loud voice echoed in the valley.
"Okay, I'll take you as a soldier. Bai Mu, from today onwards, he will be a soldier of the pro-guards, and I will hand it over to you. Mountain pillar, he will be your direct commander in the future, and you need to listen to him for all orders, understand? Hao Jian pointed at Bai Mu and said in a deep voice towards the mountain pillar.
"I know, my lord, I must kill more Tartars and marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible." Shanzhuzi never left his daughter-in-law, and Hao Jian couldn't cry or laugh a little.
After the episode of the mountain pillar, the crowd's eyes looking at Hao Jian became even hotter.
"Folks, everyone has seen that in my place, only you have a pair of diligent hands, whether it is to follow me in the army to kill Tartars, or to farm and work in the valley, as long as you are diligent, I will definitely be able to make everyone live a good life. I hereby declare that in two years, each family of five will have 100 acres of land of their own, and that everyone will not have to pay any taxes in the valley for three years, and that all the food and materials produced will be their own. ”
Hao Jian wasted no time in announcing his first measure to buy people's hearts, and it was also the most popular measure for the common people since ancient times.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, there was a tsunami-like cheer below, and the waves of sound continued to echo in the valley.
"Long live Lord Hao, long live, long live!"
"Lord Hao, what a good person, a good person has a safe life and a long life!"
……
The crowd became a sea of joy, and many people jumped up and down and hugged each other excitedly.
The people in the frontier are too bitter, although they have been harassed by the Tartars for so many years, and the officials and soldiers have nothing to do with the Tartars, but when it comes to collecting taxes every year, those tax collectors are still showing off their might to collect taxes, and they will not be soft at all.
I didn't expect to come here, not only do I have a house to live in, I have food to eat, but I don't have to pay taxes for three years, everything is my own, where to find such a great good thing.
If you don't support this kind of adult, who can you support?
Liu Ji stood not far behind Hao Jian with a smile, watching this young guy subdue the hearts of so many people with an empty promise, and couldn't help but nod and laugh with his beard, he had the means and courage.
These people don't know that the so-called cultivated land in this valley is still a grassy wasteland, and even if it is reclaimed, it will not produce much in three years, and of course this lord is so generous.
But he would only think about these words in his heart, and would never say them to anyone.
As for the promise of 100 acres of land, it will be within two years, and who can say what will happen in two years?
