Yue Zixuan clearly remembered that three years ago, when his father was dying, the two words he muttered in his mouth were to go home! Taken away by the Tartars for 20 years, doing the most tiring work every day, eating the worst food, watching his companions die, that tenacious man held on and stayed up, just to be able to see his hometown again!

Yue Zixuan's eyes were also blurred, he stared at Zhang Ke tightly, this young man may be their last hope!

"My lord, please be honest, can we still go home, this is still not our home!"

Zhang Ke didn't rush to answer, his gaze swept over everyone present, and all the men, women, and children also looked at him, and the invisible burden on his shoulders was heavier than anything else.

Zhang Ke finally faced Yue Zixuan calmly and sighed: "To be honest, I'm not very sure, the key is still up to you!" ”

Hearing Zhang Ke's words, many people present lowered their heads, but Yue Zixuan suddenly laughed, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, it's honest, if you take care of everything and talk big about people, I will kill you now and become the king of the mountain!" ”

Zhang Ke raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "No matter how bad my method is, it is better than being the king of the mountain!" Sandwiched between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, and perhaps Jiannu, do you think you have the ability to dance on the tip of a knife? If you really fall into the grass, I am afraid that more than seventy percent of people will not survive this winter, and they will freeze and starve to death! ”

Cruelly, Yue Zixuan finally lowered his head, his face struggled in pain, and he suddenly knelt on one knee.

"Please show us a way to live, as long as the villagers and brothers can have a way to live, Yue Zixuan is willing to dispose of it, and there will be no complaints!"

The man did not bow his head in the face of the Tartar's pursuit, but at this time he knelt on the ground and pleaded, and everyone knelt silently on the ground with tears in their eyes.

Zhang Ke walked in front of Yue Zixuan and suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Speaking of which, Zhang is just half a scholar and half a businessman, and he is not an official official of the Ming Dynasty. I don't have the ability to give everyone a way to live, so I can only fight with the big guys and break together! Since the time we left the city, we have been grasshoppers on a rope, I wonder if everyone is willing to believe me? ”

"Yes!" Listening to Zhang Ke's sincere words, Yue Zixuan almost blurted out, but he finally held back and said, "If there is a good way, we will listen!" ”

Zhang Ke nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll tell you what I think." You returned to Daming this time, to be honest, the imperial court is not ready to settle you, even if you want to prepare, the current imperial court is powerless. All the food and wages were used to deal with the Jiannu. In order to settle you, the officials of Daqing Fort had to requisition the houses and fields of the common people. If you don't have a home for the New Year, I'm afraid everyone will be angry! The people in the city are disgusted with you, please be more considerate of you! ”

When Yue Zixuan heard this, he suddenly looked helpless, and couldn't help but say: "Da Ming is not gold and silver without feet, why can't even 1,800 people settle down, is this still the Heavenly Empire?" ”

"Hahaha, it's good that Daming is rich, but the money is where it shouldn't be." Zhang Ke smiled bitterly: "Even if the court remembers it, I'm afraid that everyone will starve to death." For now, we can only save ourselves. ”

Ma Rufeng hurriedly asked, "Please speak clearly!" ”

"Well, I told you about the situation in the city, if you still follow the previous method and forcibly requisition houses and land from the people, the people in the city will inevitably make more trouble. In addition, even if you get a house and land temporarily, you may not be able to live well. ”

Yue Zixuan said: "I understand this, the thousands of households that greeted us at the beginning sued us, saying that the land was lent to us by him, and the big guys will be his tenants in the future." I think he clearly meant to treat us like slaves! ”

"As the saying goes, if you can't afford to hide, what I mean is that everyone leaves Daqing Fort temporarily, finds a free place to settle down temporarily, and there is no strife, and naturally the people will slowly accept you."

Yue Zixuan thought that Zhang Ke would have some good ideas, but when he heard this, he immediately frowned: "My lord, in the cold winter of Layue, where do you let us go to settle down, we have no food, no drink, no place to live, aren't we still freezing to death?" ”

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Do you know, the Duntai villages and towns around Daqing Fort have been shrinking recently, and in order to facilitate defense, everyone has been moved back to Daqing Fort, so many villages have been emptied." I just asked, eighteen miles away from Daqing Fort, there is a Hewan village by the Xihe River, where there were originally more than 200 households, and then most of the population fled, and finally there were less than 200 people left, who had just moved back to Daqing Fort. They were gone, and the houses were left behind, and they were not burned. If everyone can move to Hewan Village first, it can be regarded as a temporary place to live. ”

This......

Yue Zixuan and Ma Rufeng looked at each other and said a few words to a few old people in the crowd. Yue Zixuan looked at Zhang Ke with a little hesitation and asked, "My lord, if you throw us into a deserted village, even if we have a house, but there is no food, maybe the Tartars and bandits will come to loot, how can we survive!" Do you want us to fend for ourselves? ”

Ma Rufeng also said: "I know that the officials don't have good intentions, don't look at how nice they say, they just want to deceive us and send us to death." ”

"Hahahaha, I'll go with you, even if it's going to die, let's die together!"

Yue Zixuan was so shocked that he asked in surprise, "My lord, are you really going with us?" ”

"Didn't I just say, we are grasshoppers on a rope, don't abandon, don't give up, live and die together!"

After Zhang Ke finished speaking, everyone was silent for five seconds, and Ma Rufeng suddenly knelt on the ground, his head hitting the snow.

"Adult, it's the villain who is ignorant, it's the villain who is dirty, I beg the adult's forgiveness!"

"Hurry up!" Zhang Ke pulled him up and said with a smile: "From now on, we are all our own brothers, don't always kneel and kneel, I have to say it first, Zhang Ke has no ability to turn stones into gold, and he can't enter and exit seven times in the Ten Thousand Horse Army." There are two problems in front of everyone, one is to be beaten and the other is to starve, and it depends on everyone's wisdom to solve them! ”

Gollum! Gollum!

When it comes to starvation, the stomach screams come and go, and the day before yesterday, they had already eaten up what they brought, and the big guy was already hungry and couldn't stand it.

Zhang Ke hurriedly said to Qiao Fu: "You hurry back to the city, take out all the fat sheep, and kill them outside the city, so that everyone can have a good meal." ”

"Brother Ke, how many heads do you want?"

"Bring them all, and by the way, go to the market to see if you have anything to eat."

Qiao Fu agreed, turned around and ran.

Zhang Ke smiled at Yue Zixuan and said, "Let everyone bear with it a little, and there will be mutton to eat immediately." ”

"Lamb? My lord, I'm afraid that the court is reluctant to give us mutton to eat, and you paid for it out of your own pocket? ”

Zhang Ke did not deny it, he wanted these people to understand from the beginning that you are eating Zhang Ke's food, and you want to give it instead of the imperial court's food!

"I just came back from Quang Ninh, the sheep was changed from the fried flower department, if you want to say that the ability to make money, it is not too bad, as long as everyone is of one heart and one mind, I promise not to make everyone hungry!"

"Thank you, sir!" Yue Zixuan couldn't help laughing and said, "The villain has been herding sheep for the bad An'er Gaitaiji of the Flower Fried Department since he was seven years old. I've been working for five years in a row, and I've never tasted mutton. Once, when I was herding sheep, I drove them into the valley, and then I pushed a stone down from above, and I stoned a sheep to death. I didn't dare to make a fire, so I cut the fur with a stone, and ate the raw meat with a big gulp, and ate it all over my body, and not only the meat, but I also bit the neck of the sheep and drank the blood! ”

Yue Zixuan glanced at Zhang Ke and said with a smile: "My lord, do you think it's too bloody?" ”

"Hahaha, is it delicious?" Zhang Ke asked nonchalantly.

"It's delicious, why isn't it delicious!" Yue Zixuan was stunned and said with a smile: "At that time, I was thinking, this is the meat of fried flowers, this is the meat of those bullshit Taiji, sooner or later, one day, I will also eat their meat, drink their blood, and crush their bones to ashes!" ”

Zhang Ke smiled: "Do you hate Tartars so much? ”

Yue Zixuan shook his head: "My lord, what kind of life have we lived over the years, even pigs and dogs can't compare!" The Tartars let us plow the land, herd the herds, and give them cattle and horses for fun, and the women were robbed, and the young and strong were given slaves. Over the years, Mongolian nobles have believed in secrets and religions, and every time they pay tribute, they must use human skins and human bones to make tools, and I have seen hundreds of Han captives killed at one time. A wall made out of their skulls! ”

Speaking of this, Yue Zixuan's fists clenched and jumped, "My lord, if it weren't for the Tartars being so brutal, everyone wouldn't have risked their lives to escape." When we escaped from the fried flower department, there were nearly 2,000 people, and we ran for more than 200 miles, and more than 1,000 people died! There are a lot of wolves behind us, and as long as the dead people are divided by these beasts, not even a corpse can be left! ”

Zhang Ke's eyes also burned with rage, and hatred was like a crazy growth of weeds!

"Rest assured, sooner or later, one day I will lead you to sweep across the grasslands, wipe out all the hateful Tartars, let them kneel at their feet, and let us fall!"

"Really, sir?" Yue Zixuan's eyes widened.

"Of course it's true, but ...... We're going to eat first! Zhang Ke got up from the ground.

The city gate creaked open, and Huzi led a group of teenagers to run out with the sheep. He was followed by Qiao Tieshan, as well as Blacksmith Liu and his sons, all of whom carried the iron pot of the stove on their backs, and Qiao Fu drove the carriage with five or six bags of rice on it. At the back of the crowd, Shen, Xiaoxue, and Aunt Qiao also came, carrying a bamboo basket in the crook of their arms.

The people in the city still couldn't believe the people outside the city, waiting for the Shen family and them to come out, the city gate was immediately closed, clanged, the bolt was closed again, and they secretly stared down from the city.

Zhang Ke ran in front of the old lady and hurriedly said: "Mother, why are you here, it's not safe outside the city!" ”

"I will be where my son is, and I will believe you as a mother!" Xiao Xue, who was next to Shen's side, nodded vigorously, with a small look of unconditional trust, which made Zhang Ke's heart warm.

Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "Nephew, don't think we're useless, there are so many people outside the city, let's help cook and cook!" ”

"How dare I!"

Zhang Ke smiled and led everyone over to meet Yue Zixuan and them.

Qiao Tieshan followed behind Zhang Ke and said in a low voice: "Ke'er, just now Master Sun asked me to bring you a message, and he appointed you as the head of Hewan Village. Within a day, these people must be taken away. Otherwise, you will be treated as bandits! ”
