"What?"

"And where are we staying?"

"Our ancestors have been here for generations......"

The crowd was in a mess, Xu Wenshan signaled many times, and the people below quieted down.

"Fengshi Village itself does not produce grain, you are here to make a living, you are all helping the Salt Gang to do things, you are all doing chores, and you serve those Salt Gang thugs like masters, in exchange for a little food. Now that the Salt Gang is gone, there is not so much work for you to do, where do you go if you don't go to Luhegou? Do you drink the northwest wind? ”

When the villagers below thought about it, this was indeed the truth. Xu Wenshan continued: "When you arrive at Luhegou, there is a lot of work for you to do, how much you can do, how much money you make, whoever gets rich and who is poor, you can rely on your own hands, not on others." There is a place to live, and I will ask the engineer battalion to build a temporary walled city, and you can live there for the time being, and when you earn enough money to build a house, you will move out. ”

When the villagers heard this, they felt that this arrangement was not inappropriate, but they were still a little reluctant to leave their homeland like this.

Xu Wenshan said: "Now there is an opportunity to make money, each of you go to the engineer camp to get equipment, including anyone in Fengshi Village, every ten people form a team, go out of the village to capture the robbers wandering outside the village, and each robber brought back will be rewarded with 1,000 Wen." ”

Hearing this, the villagers began to talk again, catching robbers or something, it was still too difficult a challenge for them. What's more, if it is said to be 1,000 Wen, ten people will divide it into 100 Wen each.

Xu Wenshan continued: "Don't underestimate these 1,000 Wen, if you catch 10 robbers in one day, won't you be able to earn 10 yuan?" How can there be such an easy way to make money in the world? How many robbers outside the village are one or two hundred? As long as you catch it, you can earn it.

"Each team of ten will have two experienced soldiers, you don't have to worry about not being able to defeat the bandits, if you encounter a large number of bandits, you can run away."

When the villagers settled the account, they all became excited, and it seemed that they were immediately like copying a guy. Xu Wenshan was also worried that these villagers would not dare to go because they were afraid of robbers, and now it seems that he has set a precedent for armed slave hunting?

……

"How many did you catch yesterday?"

"Yesterday? Didn't you just start catching it today? ”

"You're stupid, catch more early, earn more!"

"The black light last night still dared to go out of the village to catch robbers?"

"Ahem, what robbers, they are all unpopular goods, as soon as we go, we will already be scared of farts and pee......"

In Fengshi Village the next day, "catching robbers" became the main topic of conversation in the village, and the words of greeting each other changed from "Have you eaten?" "Turned into" How many were caught? ”

People call these squads that go out to catch robbers "thieves". The power of money is enormous, and the last bit of fear of the villagers for the robbers around them has also disappeared with the vigorous launch of the "thief hunting group".

This simple mountain village has not experienced the "baptism of civilization" such as the "triangular trade", and there is no psychological burden on these heinous robbers, so it is natural that all the methods that can be used are used.

Someone invented a rope loop to tie a long pole, and when a robber put a set on the other party's neck, he couldn't run away, which was called "thief pole".

Many years later, the young man who has made a good "thief pole" is still admirable, and has even been turned into a song to sing, what "the man who sets the thief is mighty and majestic, and you have set the thief and the heart of the girl".

Ordinary small bandits are unable to defeat the "thief hunting group", if they meet a more capable runner, the "thief hunting group" will hang far behind, until the robbers have no strength to catch again. Because the thieves have enough dry food, they can afford to spend it completely.

It is said that there was a group of thieves who followed a group of robbers for a long distance, and finally found a robber village.

Someone took this as an inspiration and invited several thieves to go up the mountain to find the robber village. For a time, Fengshi Village launched a counterattack on the robber villages, and the mountains were terrified of these villagers with golden light in their eyes, and many villages were wiped out.

Riders were also found, who were so hungry that they were pulled off their horses by the villagers with a band. Their horses were not easy to distribute, so they went to Xu Wenshan, and Xu Wenshan found that the horses were more valuable than people, so he bought these horses at a price of 1,500 yuan, and said that if there were still horses, they would sell them to him. So he hoarded some horses and was having a headache about where to keep them.

Of course, there are not so good things happening: a group of thieves found the traces of the robbers, followed up to take a look, and the leader shouted: "Wei Laosi! ”

That Wei Laosi brought a burden by himself, and met several thieves on the way, and thought that he was an accomplice of the robbers, hiding from people in the forest, and finally got lost, and had nothing to eat, lying on the ground and starving.

Those who knew Wei Laosi planned to send him back, but the other people disagreed, saying that this was also a robber and wanted to be arrested.

The person who knew Wei Laosi said: "He is Wei Laosi, he is not a robber, don't you remember?" ”

The person who refuted it also made sense: "But according to the standard given by the young master of the Xu family, he has no organization, and second, he has no identification, and there is no way to prove that he is from the village, so he will be treated as a robber." ”

"But rules are dead, people are alive."

"It's not always brought back, if you take it back as a robber, you can exchange it for money!"

So everyone quickly reached an agreement and arrested Wei Laosi as a robber.

Other thieves also found many villagers who had escaped from the village outside the village, and many of them were arrested as robbers. After two or three days like this, the robbers outside the village were quickly caught, and Xu Wenshan estimated that if he didn't stop, he was afraid that these thieves would catch each other, and a new generation of killing good and risky people would be born, so he stopped this policy.

As for Wei Laosi, who was arrested, Xu Wenshan sent it back to Mrs. Wei's family. Wei Laosi couldn't raise his head since he lost his face this time, and after two days, he left home, and no one knew where he went.

Xu Wenshan planned in detail the salt mine in Fengshi Village and proposed to completely restructure. The main thing is to change the salt frying method to the salt drying method, so that the entire drying field was completely renovated, and the local ditch was well rested with the sapphire barracks.

The new Fengshi Village Salt Mine did not follow the practices of the White Dragon Gang, but used the regulations set by Xu Wenshan.

Xu Wenshan initially copied the modern enterprise system, but later found that it was difficult for the enterprise to run without the relevant supporting laws to protect it, so he made some rules and regulations according to local conditions, first to ensure that the salt mine was completely under his control, and then slowly explored how to operate in the future.

After the things in Fengshi Village settled down, Xu Wenshan decided to go back to Luhegou, he went for half a month, and the people in Luhegou were still short of salt to eat, and if he didn't go back, he might not know what would happen.
