Xu Yuanzuo looked at the five squads that went around the mountain road, and was not excited or worried.

In the era of cold weapons, as long as the number of people is not too different, the arms will not be too restrained, those who have more training will inevitably win less training, and those who have gone through the battle formation will inevitably win the eggs of new recruits.

Back then, the Japanese invaders fought the guards, and Qi Jiguang fought the Japanese invaders, all of which were like this.

It is estimated that the biggest worry in Gan Chengze's heart is that there are too few gangsters and he runs too fast to show his strength.

Xu Yuanzuo stood up, refused his subordinates' suggestion to ask him to get on the mule, and forced the leaders of several surrounding convoys to come down and walk. Xu Yuanzuo saw that these people were leaning towards him intentionally or unintentionally, so he naturally seized the opportunity and said: "I didn't expect that there were still villains in the Jiangnan realm. ”

Someone came out and answered: "Xu Xianggong doesn't know. These mountains are often ruined and haunted, or to find some mountain treasures, or to hunt some game......"

Xu Yuanzuoqi said: "Hmm, is that because we are too careful? ”

"Not necessarily." The man continued: "If you encounter a lone person and a weak person, these broken houses will naturally be robbed. Some of the cowardly ones just beat people up and robbed them of their possessions. If you run into those outlaws hiding in the mountains, you will have to take the lives of bad people. ”

Xu Yuanzuo sighed, shook his head and said: "I really can't imagine that the richest and most prosperous places in the world are like this, so if you go elsewhere, won't it be difficult to move an inch." ”

The man laughed, "Cats have cat paths, and rats have rat paths." If you go this way often, you will have to deal with it, and you will not be killed. ”

Xu Yuanzuo suddenly thought of Xu He. That's not to walk around the south of the Yangtze River, but to go all the way through the state to Xi'an. I heard that the south and north of the Ming River are like two worlds, and I really don't know what the north is like.

"Su Song has not had any major disasters in these years, where can he not find a livelihood? It is a shame for these people to sit down and sin like this. Duan Xingxue frowned.

Xu Yuanzuo pursed his lips. Said: "The key is that there is no one to guarantee the broken settlement, where do ordinary merchants dare to use them to work?" If you want to work as a tenant farmer, it will be even more difficult. ”

Duan Xingxue's understanding of society is really not as good as Xu Yuanzuo's, thinking that no one will use these people, but there is no way to raise the bar. He paused, then frowned again: "Brother Jing Lian's knowledge is amazing. Isn't there a good way to do it? ”

Xu Yuanzuo thought for a while and said, "All I can think of is probably only to stop it with severe punishment and benevolence and government." He also explained: "The government has strengthened the crackdown on thieves, and if nine out of ten thieves are arrested, no one will dare to do such a thing." If we give benevolent government to those who have broken down and give them farmland and jobs, they will not have bad intentions. ”

Duan Xingxue thought for a while. Said: "Severe punishment is certainly so. However, it is a little difficult to give these people farmland and work. Couldn't they ask the government to give them a guarantee? But how can the government guarantee that they will not have bad intentions? ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "It is natural for the government to give a guarantee. The government has strict punishment laws behind them, but they are not allowed to cross the thunder pool by half a step. Now the family of the four people, believing in relatives but not the imperial court, is a strange thing. ”

The imperial court has always called itself the parents of the people, but these "parents" cannot be trusted by the "children" and are regarded as tigers and wolves by the "children". Isn't that ridiculous?

Duan Xingxue knew that this was the gap between ideals and reality, and it would be taboo to continue to talk about it. One's lips are sealed.

Xu Yuanzuo raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said again after a while: "It seems that it is over there." ”

If the mountain on Susong's side is placed in the north, I am afraid it can only be regarded as a small hill. The trail is neither steep nor covered by tall trees. Those who pick medicine, pick vegetables, and herd sheep have long stepped on familiar roads, and Gan Chengze and his men and horses are all elites piled up with silver. Those half-starved gangsters just can't run.

After a while, Gan Chengze bet more than a dozen "gangsters" with yellow muscles and thin muscles to come over. Just by looking at their clothes, it is really difficult to associate them with the fierce bandits.

"Brother Zuo, everyone has been caught, and none of us have been injured." Gan Chengze stepped forward and said.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at the gangsters who were tied up in a row by hemp rope. Didn't speak.

"Xianggong, wronged! We are all good citizens! The gangsters who were forced to kneel on the ground saw Xu Yuanzuo, who was wearing a shirt and scarf, and they all cried out.

Gan Chengze saw Xu Yuanzuo's suspicious face, and beckoned back: "Brother Zuo, the physical evidence is here." ”

The team members behind him brought a bundle of wooden sticks and nail rakes and put them at Xu Yuanzuo's feet.

Xu Yuanzuo glanced at it: "Aren't these all farm tools?" ”

"Mutual Knowledge! We are all good people who have cultivated the wilderness in the mountains. The men shouted again.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at Gan Chengze, but Duan Xingxue said: "It is said that it is reclamation, it can be seen that there is land reclamation?" ”

Gan Chengze glanced coldly at the kneeling people and said, "Instead of seeing a vegetable field, I saw rolling stones and sassal trees. ”

Xu Yuanzuo sighed and said, "Although I know that they are duplicitous, they have no remorse. But looking at them like this, I really can't bear to hand them over to the Inspection Division. ”

Duan Xingxue secretly said in his heart: I know that you are a woman's kindness!

"If they are released, they are afraid that someone's life will be in their hands in the future." Duan Xingxue said coldly.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't look at Duan Xingxue, and only said to these people: "Why do you want to do this evil thing of cutting the path and robbing the road?" ”

Seeing that the gangsters couldn't deny it, an older one of them took two steps forward and said, "Xianggong, I really can't survive to do such a dirty thing." However, we have never injured anyone, otherwise how could the prefecture and county not have wanted papers? ”

- How many people have disappeared in these years, and the river and lake have sunk, who knows?

Xu Yuanzuo shook his head slightly, and said with compassion on his face: "Then if I give you a job, hire you to work, and keep you fed and clothed, are you willing to work hard?" ”

The person who took the lead hurriedly kowtowed, burst into tears, and said with a crying voice: "If this is the case, the little ones will give the prime minister an immortal tablet, and wish the prime minister a long life of a hundred years, a long life of a hundred years!" ”

Duan Xingxue hurriedly said: "Brother Jinglian, this can't be helped." If they don't go to the heart of the tiger and wolf, won't you ......?"

"It doesn't matter." Xu Yuanzuo said: "My family has some small industries outside the Jinshan Acropolis, and the production is not much, and it is almost deserted. After they go, I don't take any rent from them, as long as I can support myself. If this is the case, they will have evil thoughts again, and I am afraid that God will also accept them. ”

Duan Xingxue still looked anxious.

But those villains were silent in unison, and they couldn't believe that there was such a good thing.

"I hope they can receive Brother Lian's kindness." Duan Xingxue heard Xu Yuanzuo say this, that is the meaning of doing good deeds, of course, it is not easy to persuade again.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at the dozen or so people kneeling on the ground: "What do you say?" Would you like to go? If you wish to go, I will ask your family to take you there, divide your farming tools, demarcate the boundaries, and cultivate them separately. If you don't want to go, I can't just let you go, I have to send you to the Inspection Division. ”

One is Elysium, the other is a sea of swords, mountains and fires, how else can you choose?

"I am willing to go to Jinshanwei to work, and I will remember the great kindness of Xianggong in this life and this life." Everyone thanked Xu Yuanzuo on the ground.
