"We still have to sign a contract, and all future prisoners of war will be sold to you at this price." Rick looks like a money obsesser.

Rick's character changed really quickly, he was still in extreme excitement just now, and in the blink of an eye, he put on a look of money, whether it was passion that tempted him greatly, or the glittering gold coins that attracted him a bow, maybe both.

In desperation, Jona had to sign a controversial "human trafficking agreement" with Rick, and Rick's supporters praised Rick for how wise he was, anticipating what would happen after the war, and not missing any opportunity to weaken the kingdom of Huca. Opponents say that he is a money addict, greedy and shameless, and actually committed such inhumane deeds.

Regardless of whether they are in favor or against, they have to admit the fact that this agreement has triggered a series of derivatives that greatly consume the limited gold coins of the Shukka Kingdom, and achieve the goal of financially weakening the Shukka Kingdom.

"Fathers, brothers, brothers and sisters of the Shuka Kingdom, we are the army of the Blue Moon Empire, we have come to your land, not to burn, kill and rob, we will not treat you like the army of your Shuka Kingdom in the territory of our Blue Moon Empire, please rest assured, because we are the army of the Haohao King, with iron discipline and a benevolent heart. Our arrival will give you a beautiful and free sky, a quiet and rich land, a beautiful homeland where you will live happily and without exploitation for generations to come. There is no power, no taxes, no corrupt officials and a heavenly life. ”

A Thousand Horsemen of the Blue Moon Empire took the speech that had been prepared a long time ago, and read it in a low voice.

Thousands of ordinary people of the Hukka Kingdom stood in a group with the old and the young, crowded, I don't know how many, around them stood full of blue moon troops with swords out of sheaths and bows wound, looking murderous, where is there the appearance of "the division of the king of Haohao" said by the commander of a thousand horsemen.

I don't know if it was the wonderful speech of the Thousand Cavalry Commander, or the bright future he depicted was heartwarming, but the fear of the people of the Hukka Kingdom when they forcibly arrived for the Blue Moon Army disappeared in an instant. In its place, a flame of hopeful light flickered in the eyes. Look at that, as long as the commander of the thousand horsemen tells where such a beautiful home is, he will definitely rush over like a swarm.

"This pen really has two strokes, and my rhetoric actually moved their hearts. Real knives and real guns can only completely destroy disobedience. But the pen can turn disobedience into obedience. I used to look down on readers. It's really undeserved. The Thousand Riders thought to himself, and continued his speech.

"We know that you have been living in dire straits. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are ten thousand times more greedy than the most greedy businessmen, and they will extort the last copper plate from you. Even if you hand in the last copper plate, these insatiable dog officials will not let you go, and they will still ask for your clothes, and they will keep extorting them until you don't have a single piece of clothing on you. Even if you don't have clothes, the dog officials will not be satisfied, because you still have a net worth. Your parents, brothers, wives, and children are like pigs in their eyes, and you can sell them and exchange them for glittering gold coins.

"Father, elder brothers and sisters, look at each other, how many of you are dressed? How many people are dressed in full clothes? Look at that uncle, at such an old age, there is only such a big piece of cloth, which is not clothing, it is to cover the most unsightly places.

The commander of the thousand horsemen spoke up, and improvised his mind, pointing to an old man who surrounded his lower body with a piece of cloth and complained, looking at his excited appearance, as if the old man was his grandfather.

Years of war have caused the people of the kingdom of Shukka to suffer unprecedented disasters, and the income from a year's hard work has not even a fig leaf. The accusation of the commander of the thousand horsemen happened to reach the hearts of the people, and for a while, the people were in a commotion and shouted loudly.

"Down with the dog officials, down with the corrupt officials!"

"Return my parents, my wife and children!"

……

These shouts were not surprising, but the surprise was that I did not know which naked woman with no clothes was pleading, and gave me a piece of cloth to cover my shame.

This sentence reminded the common people who did not even have a piece of cloth, and rushed to those who were clothed.

There was a cracking sound, everyone was happy, and everyone had a fig leaf. The bitter thing is that those who are wearing clothes themselves are naked, without even a piece of cloth, so they have to cover the critical parts with their hands.

Looking at the live farce in front of him, the commander of the thousand horsemen was very satisfied, and when the people were quiet for a while, he said: "Fathers, brothers and sisters, you usually hide at home because you have no clothes to cover your shame, and you dare not come out to meet people, have you ever thought that you are living such a poor life? ”

"No, no, no!" A roaring wave soared into the sky.

"Now, at last, you have come together and know that you are so poor, that you are just one of the many people who have suffered." "One more question for you, how many of you have eaten meat?" Raise your hand, please. ”

No one raised their hands, and the commander of the thousand horsemen shouted three times in a row, and an old man asked tremblingly: "Sir, does it count if you see others eating meat?" ”

"Sort of." A thousand riders on a long road.

The old man raised his hand at once.

The Thousand Horsemen asked, "Has anyone seen anyone else eating meat?" ”

The commander of the thousand horsemen asked three times in a row, but no one raised his hand.

This time, only the old man saw that others had eaten meat, unique, the old man suddenly felt extremely honored, his face was full of excited red light, suddenly seemed to be twenty years younger, and said excitedly: "My luck is very good, very good, great." ”

The commander of the thousand horsemen asked, "Uncle, when and where did you see others eating meat?" ”

The excitement on the old man's face disappeared all of a sudden, and he said with a sad face: "It was ten years ago, our county magistrate. Because our family was poor and could not afford to pay taxes, the county magistrate ordered the officials to detain my son in the yamen and ordered me to collect money to pay taxes. I really couldn't afford to pay the taxes, so I rushed to the county government and asked the county magistrate to forgive us, just in time for the county lord to have lunch, and the table was full of meat, I don't know how many mouthfuls of saliva I swallowed, and I almost forgot about business. ”

The commander of the thousand horsemen asked, "Uncle, where is your son?" ”

"Woo, my son was killed by the county magistrate, because I really couldn't pay the tax, and the county magistrate took out his anger on my son and beat my hard-working son to death." When the old man said that later, he had already cried into tears.

This is a living teaching material that is very difficult to encounter, and the shrewd Thousand Cavalry Commander will not miss this kind of opportunity, and immediately sensationalizes: "Father, elder brothers and sisters, have you all heard? The mountains and rivers here are poor, and you will not be able to turn over if you live for another ten lifetimes, and you will not be able to get rid of the tragic fate of not even having a fig leaf. Now, I'll send you a bag of rations, and hurry up and find your new, beautiful home! ”

As if acting, as soon as the words of the thousand cavalry commanders fell, the army dodged a way, and bags of grain were piled up. Not to mention eating meat, there are many people who have never even eaten a few meals of white rice in their lives, and when they see so much food at first glance, they are all excited, and they want to rush over to grab it.

The commander of the thousand cavalry hurriedly ordered the army to line up into a wall to separate the common people from the grain.

"Father, elder brothers and sisters, don't be anxious, everyone has a bag." The commander of the thousand horsemen shouted: "Queue, queue." ”

The common people lined up according to the words, and the Blue Moon Army maintained order and distributed food. One bag per person, that is, twenty catties. The people who received the food went happily, of course, the words of gratitude were to be said, the number of the Blue Moon Army was to be asked, and the Blue Moon soldiers told them that they were the defenders of Xiangcheng, and their commander was Lord Xia Hua. For a while, Xia Hua's name quickly rose to the status of a god in the minds of the common people, and even the god was not as high as his status.

As soon as the food was finished, the Blue Moon Army immediately asked the people to leave their homes. Although the poor mountains and bad waters are not satisfactory, the people are still reluctant to leave their homes where they have lived for generations. The Blue Moon Army immediately said that after you received the food, you agreed to leave home, otherwise, return the food.

No one was willing to spit out the food in hand, not to mention that the speech of the thousand horsemen aroused new hope, and after some ideological struggle, the old and the young were helped to find the "beautiful homeland" that did not exist.

That night, whether it was a small mountain village or a town, the fire was lit and the smoke was billowing out, and the poor homes of the poor N generations were reduced to ruins.

Looking at the raging fire, the Qianqi Commander patted the shoulder of a middle-aged man beside him who looked like Sven and said, "Mr. Ou, your plan is really good. In other places, these poor people were cleaned up, either by sword light or sword shadow, and the corpses were piled up, but here we are ordinary people happily leaving their homes. ”

Mr. Ou's Qingyao face was not happy at all, but he said lightly: "Don't be too happy, the adults will definitely ask for guilt." ”

"Guilty?" The commander of the thousand horsemen looked like he didn't believe it.

"So much food, but gold coins, can you not ask for sin?" Mr. Ou said lightly.

"That's right!" The long mouth of the thousand riders formed a large circle, and his face was shocked.

"Don't be in a hurry. Adults are sensible people, and when the time comes, if you ask, you can just say that I came up with the idea. Mr. Ou's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.

"That's not good, the idea is yours, I agreed, it's better for me to bear this matter." The thousand riders have shown their true colors as men.

"No wonder the defenders of Xiangcheng can have such achievements, a thousand cavalry commanders have such courage." Mr. Ou was amazed, and continued: "I will deal with this matter better than you." ”

"Really?" The Thousand Riders asked hesitantly.

Mr. Ou nodded vigorously. (To be continued......)
