Chapter 272
Anyi, the sky is just dawning, and the sun has not yet come out. β²β΄ topβ²β΄ dotβ²β΄smallβ²β΄ said,www.
The soldiers at the head of the city had just changed shifts, and the soldiers yawned and looked outside, but there was no one. However, it was already dawn, and the time to open the city gate must not be delayed, otherwise the defendant will be in trouble with the county lieutenant.
"Open the gates!"
The leader of the team picked his nose and shouted.
Some soldiers turned the winch and lowered the drawbridge, and more than a dozen soldiers went down to the city and opened the city gate together.
"Head, when will the salary be paid?"
A small man came to the front of the team leader and said with a bitter face: "I haven't paid money for half a year, and there are seven people in the family, and my mother and five younger brothers and sisters will live on it, and if I don't pay money, I can't live this day." β
"I don't know!"
The team frowned first, and then seemed to think of something, so they sighed, patted the soldier and said: "Lao Tzu also has seven or eight people to raise in his family, and his life is not better than your boy, so wait a minute!" β
The little man looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Head, I heard that the people of Liangzhou are very rich now, and the people can not only eat and dress warmly, but also the government is not allowed to let the people starve to death, this is really strange, is it true, head?" β
"If you are rich, you can only see the hell if the poor place in Liangzhou can get rich!"
The team leader scolded, and lowered his voice again: "But I heard that it is true that the grain in Liangzhou is high every year, and it is also true that the people don't have to go hungry anymore, it seems that the warlord Luo Zheng, who occupies Liangzhou, has given a death order, and the people are not allowed to flee with their families, let alone starve to death." Otherwise, the county order will be boarded, and the county guard will eat noodles. What the fuck is this. β
"Really?"
The little man's eyes immediately lit up, "The government will be so kind?" β
The captain shook his head. "This Lao Tzu is not clear, anyway, it is true that Liangzhou people can eat their stomachs now, in the past two years, there have been Liangzhou people spreading rumors everywhere, saying that Liangzhou is so good, as long as they go to Liangzhou, they will divide the fields and cultivate, and the government also provides rations and farming tools and livestock, I heard that there are many people who fled in Guanzhong, and they were coaxed to Liangzhou. Lao Tzu heard the foot merchant say. All this is true, the displaced people who went to Liangzhou were allocated a lot of land, and the government not only asked the displaced people to provide rations, farming tools and livestock, etc., but also helped the displaced people build houses, and all taxes were exempted in the first few years. β
The little man said in disbelief: "I heard that the warlord Luo Zheng in Liangzhou has killed countless people, he is simply a peerless murderer, and he has exterminated many Qianghu tribes and Huns in Hutuze, will it be so good?" β
"You know a!"
The team leader scolded, and looked around cautiously. He said in a low voice: "That's the real man, don't listen to people's nonsense." Lao Tzu has heard that all the people killed by Luo Zheng are foreigners and those landlords and squires who are from high families, and not only have they never harmed the Han people. And it's pretty good for the people. What are those Qianghu people and Xiongnu? His mother is a group of unfamiliar wolf cubs, who rob our Han people and look at the Huns in Xihe. Those brutes often come to Hedong to rob us Han people. Luo Zheng: This is for the people, do you know? The more damn Hulu kills, the better, and it's better to kill them all. I heard that now those Hu people's children can cry when they hear Luo Zheng's name, this is the real man. Look at our county guard again, he has no way to deal with the Huns. Alas, it's a pity that Luo Zheng is not in Hedong, otherwise those Huns would not have the courage to run to Hedong to plunder, maybe there would be no one left who would have been killed a long time ago. β
The little man looked at him with admiration, nodded again and again, and said, "What the boss said makes sense." β
The team rate was greatly used, and he simply told everything he knew, "Lao Tzu also heard that Luo Zheng is also very good for his soldiers, and the salary has been distributed to five hundred, even if the salary is not paid, it will be exchanged for the same amount of food." A soldier like you, with five hundred dollars a month, can also receive six thousand dollars a year. Even if the grain is distributed, it is calculated according to the previous price, two dollars and a pound of grain, three thousand catties of grain a year, even if you raise more than a dozen pigs, you can't eat it all. β
The little man's eyes widened at the boss, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's really fake, are the Liangzhou soldiers really so cool?" β
The team said: "Of course, if you are promoted to an official and a half-position, the salary will be more, and now the grain is expensive, Anyi can't buy a pound of grain even if it costs twenty dollars, and his mother's three thousand catties of grain, even if you can't eat it, even if you sell it for money, there are a lot!" β
The little man drooled with envy, and even his eyes were red.
The team leader continued: "This is not all, I heard that as long as the Xiliang soldiers are killed in battle, or crippled, the government will give a large amount of money and food at a time to ensure that the old and young in the family will not starve to death, which is like us, if we accidentally die one day, a bunch of old and young people in the family will wait to eat." But then again, when you come out to be a soldier, you can always get food for the old and young in the family, and you won't starve to death without food. Look at those people, they are so hungry that they even eat grass, and you kid will be content! β
The little man sighed and said, "If it's a Liangzhou soldier, how much should it be!" β
The team leader sneered: "You dream! β
The little man rolled his eyes and said, "Head, I heard that Luo Zheng has broken Chang'an and is attacking Hongnong?" β
The team leader said 'um' and waved his hand, "These big things are not for us little people to ask, you kid don't make trouble for Lao Tzu, honestly look at the city gate, otherwise be careful that Lao Tzu will let you eat noodles." β
The little man agreed, but his eyes were bare and swirling.
As he spoke, the sun had risen.
In the sound of rolling carriages and horses, the carriages of large families have been leaving the city one after another.
Under the city gate, there were also people or gentry lined up in a long line, and they were entering the city one by one.
Of course, the people in the advanced city are always high-crowned squires and nobles with extraordinary bearing.
As for the grass-headed people, they were all at the back of the line, and they could not enter until the gentry entered the city. If there is a squire coming from behind, there is no need to queue up, it will be directly inserted in the front, and the city gate guards will not provoke these rich people without opening their eyes, and the people naturally dare not speak out, and continue to wait in line in the back patiently.
The team went to pee, and when they came back, they found that the people outside the city gate had lined up a mile away.
"Where are so many people?"
The team leader glared and asked suspiciously.
The little man hurriedly said: "There are hundreds of people just now, I don't know what they are doing." β
The team thought for a while and said, "Go, let the people below stop and ask clearly, damn it, for no reason, how could there be so many more people at once, don't be mixed in by those bandits and robbers." β
"Whoa!"
The little man agreed, and hurriedly ran down.
Conveyed the instructions of the team to the several soldiers guarding outside the city gate, and ran back quickly.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
A city gate guard stretched out Zhang Heng, who had walked to the city gate, and asked arrogantly.
Zhang Heng hurriedly smiled and said: "Back to the military master, the villain is a hunter in the mountains, this is not a difficult life, so I cut some firewood and come to the city to sell a few dollars to get a mouthful of food, please make it convenient for the military master, and the villain will come out after selling the firewood." β
"Orion in the mountains?"
The city gate guard glanced at the team of hundreds of people behind him, his face sank, and he scolded: "Damn, there are so many hunters in the mountains? Why haven't I heard of it, good people don't do it, they have to go to the mountains to be thieves, Lu Yin, take it out for Lao Tzu to see, if there is no Lu Yin, get out of the way, otherwise they will all be arrested and put in prison! β
"Master Jun!"
Zhang Heng hurriedly said: "The villain is really a hunter in the mountains!" β
"Less nonsense!"
The gate guard waved his hand impatiently, as if to chase away flies, "Stand aside, don't get in the way!" β
"Huh?"
Zhang Heng's eyes were condensed, and he glanced at several Xiliang soldiers around him, and immediately shouted, "Kill!" β
He took out a machete from the bundle of firewood, and slashed the two city gate guards in front of him with one knife, and before the people at the city gate and the other city gate guards could react, they immediately turned around and pounced on the other city gate guards.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
The hundreds of Xiliang soldiers who were carrying the firewood immediately drew the sabers hidden in the firewood and pounced on them with a loud roar.
The more than 30 Xiliang soldiers who stood at the front were divided into more than 20 people, and they rushed into the city gate cave as soon as possible, killing people when they saw them, and the cable that was pulling the suspension bridge was cut off at the first time.
