The old village chief can trust the dog's head, the child has been clever since he was a child, and in order to be literate, he went to the clan school in the next village every day to steal school.

In fact, there were many children in the village who were curious about what the school was like, so they secretly ran to the next village to learn more.

But so many children have been there, but they haven't been able to recognize a few, and most of them give up halfway.

If the child does not have the supervision of the master, he cannot sit in the school, and he has to lie on the window to steal the school, and after a long time, he will lose his patience, and he will be willing to go down to the river to touch the fish when he has this time.

Including his old son, when he was a child, he also went to the next village with the dog head to learn secretly, but he was reluctant to go after a few days.

Only this dog's head, the little man persevered.

I know more words than the officials in the town.

If it weren't for the poverty of his family, he might already be a personal reader.

"Well, you'll be back every month?"

"Of course I want to come back, others send silver back, I don't worry."

If he can come back once a month to report his safety, the old village chief is satisfied.

During the time when Tie Dan went back to deliver the silver, Cheng Feng asked the dog head and them about the surrounding situation.

The price of grain here is inflated, and the expensive one is the same price as tea.

Good tea, one tael of silver can buy three taels to four taels.

And the milled rice has reached an outrageous price of three to four taels of silver.

You must know that even in the rich land of early Yangzhou, the most expensive bamboo rice is not so expensive.

People in the countryside have good land at home, so they will not go hungry, even if they eat sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, they can eat enough.

But in the early days of the famine, a large number of townspeople went to the countryside to harvest rice, and sweet potatoes were not spared.

At the beginning, the people in the village were very excited when they saw the silver of the white flowers, not only taking out all the annual harvest for silver, but also taking out the stock at home.

But not long after, famine broke out, and no one in the government took care of it, let alone allocated disaster relief money.

The silver in his hand has long been unable to buy the food at that time, and the silver is not yet hot, and he has to take it out to buy food, and it is a big loss.

As a result, more and more people are begging on the streets, or leaving their hometowns and becoming homeless, or becoming bandits like them.

Qin Lu saw the iron egg running from a distance, got into the carriage and said to the dog: "Beat us to meet someone as fierce as you." ”

The dog head knew that the master must have come prepared, otherwise he would not have taken out the contract casually.

"The black bear in the village next door to us, he was also forced to come out to rob, but he will leave some coils for the robbed, not really cold-hearted."

In Qin Lu's previous investigation, among the people who thought that he had a conscience, this black bear was also counted as one.

"I'm going to meet him." After speaking, Qin Lu lowered the carriage curtain.

The follow-up details, how to convince the black bear to become a guard, Qin Lu did not interfere.

The driver of the carriage had changed back to Cheng Feng and the middle-aged coachman, and fifteen strong men trotted behind the carriage.

The black bear didn't believe in such a good thing, but he and the dog head knew each other, and they were relieved.

The black bear joined the group with twenty young men from the same village, twenty-one in all, and trotted after the carriage.

The black bear has been a thief for some days, and he knows a lot of people who are mixed in the road, and he is also forced to do this out of life, and he saw that the master wanted to recruit many guards, so he recommended a few people.

Basically, it was Qin Lu's favorites last time, Qin Lu agreed, and asked the black bear to persuade them, if it was done, then as a reward, the people who the black bear persuaded would become the black bear's subordinates.

The black bear worked extremely hard, and there were already more than eighty people under his command.
