Lingwu hadn't slept so deeply and so early for a long time, so he woke up in the middle of the night. He didn't alarm the three Xia Yu who were asleep outside the screen, and lay on the bed thinking about the problem. The most important thing for me now is to be a personal guard and a personal guard, and follow me to the north and south. Thanks to his own efforts, many of them have actually become samurai. These people usually don't show the dew, but if the two armies are in front of the formation, it will be amazing. In order to win the hearts of the samurai, most families used the method of sealing land and giving some slaves, and there were also marriages. It stands to reason that the samurai should give them a piece of land and a little slave, but they are also slaves after all, which makes Lingwu really difficult. Lingwu remembered that when he first taught them the sword technique, He Jian said that slaves were not allowed to practice the martial arts, and he hadn't changed his tricks to teach them. I simply didn't say anything about the land for them, and said that it would be done if I lent it to them, and I couldn't reward slaves, so I could still give them a woman? Originally, slaves were also allowed to marry and have children. The more Lingwu thought about it, the more he felt that it was a solution.

Early the next morning, Lingwu got up, practiced Zhenwu for a while, and asked He Jian to notify all the five hundred people of the personal guard to assemble. Everyone thought they were going out today, but Lingwu didn't mean that at all.

"Many of you of the more than 500 people have followed me from Fumian City, and your loyalty is rare. In addition, you also practice martial arts very hard, and now everyone is good at martial arts, especially the sword skills I taught are good. In the art of war, the reward and punishment are clear for the general. Today I will give you a great reward. ”

As soon as they heard about the reward, the guards' eyes lit up. In this world, it is good to be a slave who does not starve to death and die coldly, and what reward can there be. The reward is not without it, but there is a piece of meat or a bowl of rice that the master eats leftovers, as if the master had never done so.

"I will reward you heavily today, and I will come one by one. Whoever points to it will stand in front. ”

"He Jian"

"Here, Young Master" He Jian's voice was very loud, and his chest was very high.

"You brought my personal guards for me to be loyal, and you sacrificed your life to protect me outside Hongning City. A few years ago, I came to Jiachuan for military training, and I made a great contribution. I'm the first to reward you today, what do you want? ”

"What do you want?" He Jian thought about it for a long time, and he really didn't know what he should want. After picking his head for a long time, he finally said, "I want a big piece of meat and a big pot of wine." ”

When everyone heard this, they all suddenly felt enlightened, yes, this is good, I will ask me later to do this.

"It's not productive, so you want to order this? That's it? Don't want to order anything else? ”

"Report to the young master, He Jian wants this, nothing else."

"Alas! You don't know what's going on in your head? If you have land, you will have wine, meat, and food to eat. Well, you're my slaves. Of course, there will be no land, but I can lend you some land! ”

"Borrowing land? How to borrow? I have never heard of "He Jian is blinded, and He Jian is not the only one who is blinded."

"No, of course you haven't heard of borrowing land. You've always heard of borrowing something, borrowing it means it's still mine, but you can use it. Haven't heard of this? ”

"I've heard that I have a secondary outing, and I don't have pants to wear, so I borrow them from others. I returned it when I went back. He Jian's words drew a burst of laughter, although this was a common occurrence among slaves.

"By the way, it seems that you are not stupid. I'm going to lend me a hundred acres of land today, but you'll have to give me a portion of the grain that grows there. ”

"A hundred acres? So much? Just plant it for me? He Jian didn't believe it.

"What's that look on your face? Who am I? The dignified young master of the Hou Guo Protector, doesn't his words count. Today I have counted all the things I promised, and someone will come and set aside a hundred acres of land for him on the west side of the city. ”

Lingwu personally led everyone to the outside of the city, and looked at the hundred acres of land that the steward had carved out in an hour, He Jian was dumbfounded.

"So much land for me to plant?" He didn't believe it, and the people didn't dare to believe it.

"It's not a white race, you give me a portion of the grain. I don't want you to have more, but divide the grain into three heaps, one heap for me, and the other two heaps for you. ”

"My lord, the land is yours, and it should all belong to you?"

"It's all mine, won't you starve to death?"

"Oh, I see," He Jian muttered, in fact, he didn't know anything, like he was drunk, dizzy.

"No," He Jian said suddenly: "My lord, I went to farm, who will protect you?" Listening to what he said, everyone suddenly realized.

"Of course you are here to protect me, you don't have to farm, I'll find you a wife, and then give birth to a few babies, and someone will farm. But these are my slaves. ”

"Of course, it's all yours. What the? My lord, you said you want to give me a wife? He Jian's eyes widened: "My lord, are you kidding me?" ”

"What are you kidding, now you can choose one of all the female slaves in Jiachuan to be your wife, and her parents, brothers and sisters in her family can follow you to work in your field, and they are all under your control. Which do you choose? ”

He Jian stood there stunned for a long time, first, he couldn't react, and second, he really didn't know which female slave to choose.

"You don't know which one to choose, do you? Then I don't have time to wait for you, I'll just ask the person in charge to get you one. It must be a woman, and that can't be wrong. Lingwu couldn't wait, thinking that there were so many people down there.

"My lord, wait a minute, I really want a woman, but I don't dare to say it" He Jian was anxious.

"Don't you dare to say it, forget it, aren't you usually afraid of death? I'm short on time, don't be verbose, if you want to choose yourself, hurry up. ”

He Jian puffed up his chest, showed a look of death, and whispered, "Please give me Xia Yu." After speaking, he didn't dare to come out, and hung his head.

"What? Do you want summer rain? Say it again. Lingwu raised his voice, he didn't expect He Jian to fight the idea of the people around him.

He Jian knelt down with a plop, and said, "I just said that I didn't dare to say it, my lord, you have to say it." ”

"Alas! No way, you think I don't know, you've been eyeing the people around me for a long time. Who called me a dignified young master, what I said only counted. But Xia Yu is the one who has been with me for so many years, how can he farm for you? Xia Yu, would you like to farm for him? ”

Xia Yu didn't expect such a thing to happen at all, He Jian likes herself all these years, she knows it. The two are not less secretly together, although they haven't done anything, but they both understand it in their hearts. There are also people who secretly love each other, and if they are discovered by their masters, they often end up miserable. As soon as He Jian said it just now, she was scared, He Jian's true feelings made her excited, but he knew that as soon as the words came out, disasters were probably inevitable. Let's die together, this thought flashed in her mind: "My lord, I am willing to farm for him." ”

There was a dead silence, only the sound of heavy breathing.
