In the afternoon, Zhou Mi led someone to push the car forward, two thousand yuan is not a small amount, it weighs dozens of pounds, so a small wooden car was pressed heavily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After seeing that everything was ready, Zhou Bian opened his mouth and instructed the young master to gather the villagers again, only to see that after the young master and the short and fat scholar gave a few words, the scholar took the warriors to the village, and after a while, he heard the sound of people, hundreds of people came over, it turned out that this was a big township.

Zhou Bian looked around, there were no less than dozens of young and middle-aged people among these hundreds of people, and he was satisfied, and nodded at the young master, only to see that the young master understood, walked forward in a few steps, and shouted, "Everyone be quiet, this is our king, and he personally recruited troops to come today." Respectfully, the King. ”

Saying that, Zhou Bian raised his leg and was about to step forward, but his sleeve was pulled by someone, and when he looked back, it was Fan Yu, "Didn't the king say that he wanted to keep a low profile, why is he showing up now?" ”

Zhou Bian smiled, "It will take time to be low-key, now this king's recruitment is righteous and bright, and it is natural to come forward, these are the people of Wangji, don't worry about people who will have bad intentions." ”

After saying that, he walked in front of everyone, and when he thought that he was only half waist tall for others, he was very unhappy, so he asked the guards to carry the big stone he found to his feet, and then he had the feeling of looking down on all beings. It is said that this villager has never seen the face of the Son of Heaven in his life, and the one in front is still hesitating to kowtow immediately, but the one behind shouts, saying that it is blocked and cannot be seen, and there is a commotion, so angry that the young master pulled out his sword and commanded the warriors to come forward and shout, which stabilized the scene. After all, they are still villagers, and they all kneel down and kowtow when they are frightened, and the black pressure falls to the ground.

After Zhou Bian shouted, there was chaos again, and after a while of calming down, Zhou Bian asked, "Do you know what this king is doing here in person?" ”

Then he had the audacity to say up, "Recruit soldiers." ”

Zhou Bian asked again, "The conditions offered by my royal family are not low, and it will be your honor to serve the royal family, why don't you sign up?" ”

This time, no one agreed loudly, some laughed, some disdainful, and some muttered in a low voice, "It's a nice word, how can you have money to give, it's not a lie." ”

"If you don't say it, this king knows that you don't believe in my royal family. Someone's coming. Zhou Bian waved his hand as he spoke, waited on the side, and immediately pushed the cart over, only to see a cart full of money, it seemed that even from afar he could smell a copper smell, and everyone's eyes were shining. It must be known that there are many merchants and countless rich people in Luoyang City, but the villagers in this countryside are either farming for the Duke of Zhou, or working for the big families, and they are still very poor, in fact, except for a very small number of homesteaders, these villagers are also considered to be the semi-slaves of the Duke of Zhou.

"See the money?" Saying that, Zhou Bian stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of money, and threw it down one by one, but unfortunately his hands were small, and he only grabbed five or six coins, and the effect was worse when he threw them one by one. However, it also achieved its goal and successfully attracted everyone.

"If you sign up for the army today, you can receive 20 yuan on the spot, as a special allowance from the royal family, and the salary will be calculated separately in the future. And only this recruitment will have a special allowance, and there will be no next recruitment. After saying this, the crowd broke out, and no one was unmoved by the cash here.

Zhou Bian said again, "But you have to think about it, being a soldier is not a child's play, there is discipline in the army, if you can't be controlled, it's better not to come as soon as possible." In addition, my royal family is also conditional, do you see that stone over there? Zhou Bian pointed with his hand, and it turned out to be the piece under his feet. Only those who can pick up this stone can become soldiers. Do you hear me clearly? ”

The villagers discussed one after another, but only a few people were moved, but none of them moved. After half a ring, a bachelor seemed to have figured it out and was about to come forward, but at this time, a person at the back of the crowd shouted, "Don't go, everyone, they are liars, they are poorer than us, they won't give money, they want us to sell our lives, don't think about coming back when we go, maybe we will lose our lives there." If we don't go, they won't do anything to us. ”

Zhou Bian frowned, sure enough, someone was instructed to stop him, and looked at Fan Yu beside him, who nodded slightly, Zhou Bian knew that the person he arranged had noticed, so he said to the young master and the scholar sent by the young master and the young master, "If someone slanders the royal family, what should he be guilty of?" ”

The young master replied without hesitation, "There is no forgiveness for killing." ”

Zhou Bian nodded, and signaled to Fan Yuyi, only to see the latter wave his hand, and among the warriors who were standing around the crowd casually, a few people rushed out, rushing into the villagers like lightning, and before the villagers could react, he dragged one person out and dragged him straight in front of everyone, this person was frightened, and kept begging for mercy.

Fan Yu stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you, why do you slander my royal family and encourage the villagers to doubt the credibility of my royal family?" My royal family is obviously sincere in recruiting soldiers, and they will definitely treat those who serve the royal family well, why do you say it so ugly? ”

Unexpectedly, before the man could reply, several old men in the villagers spoke first, "My lords, this person is not from us, we don't know him, but he is a liar to the royal family." "After all, the villagers are still simple.

Seeing this, Fan Yu replied, "This old man, please see if there are other people like this around you?" ”

The villagers looked to the side, and after a while, the old man replied, "My lord, it's gone, it's just this person, I don't know when he got in, and he was the one who said earlier that the royal family couldn't believe it." ”

After thanking the old man, Fan Yu turned angrily at the man who threw him on the ground and shouted, "Say, who sent you, and why do you want to accuse me of the royal family?" What is the intention? ”

The man was actually also timid, trembling all over, and said, "The big man spares his life, the little one says, the little one says," but only halfway through the words, a person suddenly flashed out, stabbed the man with a sword, and stabbed the man to the heart, and in an instant he died and could not die again. Everyone looked at it, it turned out to be the tax official of the Duke of Zhou, this scholar pulled out his sword, and scolded himself in his mouth, "Call you this kid, dare to insult my Great Zhou royal family, it's really a good death." As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at Zhou Bian and said, "The king, the little one really can't look past it, so I can't help but make a move, the king forgive me, the king forgive me." ”

"Well said, well said." Zhou Bian said with a smile, a clear-eyed person can know what's going on at a glance, but at this time it's not the time to turn his face and ask for guilt, just go on his face.

The villagers were enthusiastic at once, and some shouted, "It turns out that this man is a liar, and we still believe him." "The common people always believe in the officials, and at this time, when they saw that it was the tax collector of the Duke of Zhou who killed the man, they naturally stood on the opposite side of the liar. Zhou Bian saw that the beginning was good, so he jumped off the big stone and turned to get out of the way.

As he spoke, several people rushed forward, including the single man from before, who saluted Zhou Bian from afar, "The little Li Si, the fourth in the family, has not yet married, and his parents are raised, and the little one is willing to serve the king." After the salute, he walked to the big stone, rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, and made a violent effort, but his face turned red, but the stone flashed and did not get up, and the people behind him immediately laughed. That Li Si was also a man, glared at the back, stopped laughing, and shouted, "I'm not ready, come back this time." Zhou Bian smiled, "Everyone has three chances, don't worry." ”

I saw Li Si squatting down again, this time he stabilized his strength, only to see the big stone slowly leaving the ground, Li Si slowly stood up straight, and forced the big stone to move up, still reluctant to give up, he actually turned around and shook at the person who was laughing just now, and then put the stone down. The crowd immediately applauded, that Li Si was a salute speaker, and he bowed his hand to the applauding crowd, and then walked in front of Zhou Mi, Zhou Mi smiled and congratulated, turned around and took out twenty coins, and handed it to Li Si. Li Si was overjoyed when he got the money, he raised it and shook it at the villagers, and suddenly there was a shout and remembered, presumably at this time, the villagers must have no suspicion at all. Li Si took the money and turned around and walked into the crowd, and returned empty-handed for a while, presumably handing it over to his family, this man was also well-behaved, and he consciously stood behind Zhou Mi, and the royal clerk registered it.

Dozens more people came to sign up, but only a handful were able to pick up the big rock. After the man who was tempted by the whole township finished trying, an hour had passed, and Zhou Bian looked at the more than a dozen people standing behind Zhou Mi, although the number was not much, but all of them looked like strong men, and they couldn't help but be very satisfied. ”

Looking back, seeing that it was Fan Yu who said, Zhou Bian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hugh is talking nonsense, the young master can actually think of the same idea, but his identity is different, he can't come up with the money, and he doesn't dare to order the arrest of people, and this king is different, morally speaking, he can suppress anyone, so he can do this extraordinary thing, and others won't say much." You have to be disrespectful to the young students. ”

Fan Yu couldn't help sticking out his tongue and said, "So-and-so is just talking about his own old man, and besides, the king is already more powerful than a certain father." Several guards next to him couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, and Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, almost forgetting that this was a father and son.

Seeing that things were going very well, and the young master was going to the next village, after a few words, Zhou Bian wanted to take the guards back to Luoyang, but he was just about to leave, but he saw a person hurriedly coming from the south, and when he got closer, he saw that it was one of Zhou Bian's guards left in Luoyang, and the person who came looked panicked, seeing this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel nervous, could it be that something happened in Luoyang?

The guard ran to the front and back and knelt down straight to Zhou Bian, seeing that there were many people not far away, Zhou Bian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, and took the guard aside before letting him speak, only to hear the guard open his mouth and say, "The king is not good, Zhang Hu and they were arrested by Zhou Gong's troops, and Zibu was also arrested, and in Luoyang City, as long as there were nomadic idlers under Zhang Hu and them, they were all arrested, and there were hundreds of people." ”

It's really just solved the matter in front of you, and there are new problems coming, and the royal family is trying to develop, but it's really difficult!
