Chapter 14: Mountain People
"It's not a big deal, you go into the grotto later, find the villagers of Yi Village, and knock them unconscious as soon as you see them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Bonaparte didn't want to kill these villagers who were delivering to them here, these seven villagers were all villagers of Yi Village, they were his people, and if he killed seven people, that would be seven families without the main labor force in the family.
Although Bonaparte was not a good man, there was no impermeable wall in this world, and Bonaparte did not want to do anything without necessity, even if these knocked out villagers found out that the so-called robber was actually him, the new village chief, by that time Bonaparte had already been cut off, and these villagers were not at his disposal.
"Ah, sir, do you mean?" asked Geman, who hesitated for a moment when he heard that he was going to do it himself.
Bonaparte couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw Geman's appearance: "Ah, what, let you do it, if you don't do it, I'll do it with you later." ”
After saying that, Bonaparte threw the stick in his hand in front of German, and then without looking back, he walked to the other two villagers who were resting in place not far away, and chatted, the little Hillman took ten people, Alonso took the seven donkey cavalry, and now there were only two villagers left on the field, and Bonaparte was planning to learn more about these backbones of his men.
"It's very cold, everyone will just take a moment, the master will definitely not treat you badly in the future!" Bonaparte lit his torch, trying to make his expression look as pleasant as possible.
Seeing Bonaparte come to his side, the two villagers who had been sitting on the ground stood up and said respectfully, "Master." ”
"Sit down, sit down. Bonaparte pressed his hands weakly, and then casually did it beside the two: "It's also a joke, sir, as your village chief, I haven't recognized all the people in the village yet, and you two live in the east of the village?"
Hearing Bonaparte say this, the faces of the two villagers couldn't help but turn red, and they were slightly embarrassed, and then they said hesitantly: "Master, the younger two are villagers who live in the south of the village, because they hunt in the forest all year round and rarely walk around the village, so the master thinks it is normal for us to be born face to face." ”
"Hehehehehe. Bonaparte smiled dryly, in fact, he really didn't know these two villagers, not to mention that he didn't know the two of them almost all the villagers, although he inherited Bonaparte's memories, but many things in his subconscious were erased.
But Bonaparte's dry smile seemed to make the cheeks of the two villagers in front of him even more ashamed, as if there was something very shameful, which also made Bonaparte stop his own dry smile that eased the atmosphere, it seems that the two villagers misunderstood Bonaparte, thinking that Bonaparte was laughing at them.
Frowning, Bonaparte waved his hand at Geman in the distance, signaling him to hurry up to his side, the reason why Bonaparte kept Geman was very simple, first, Bonaparte himself did not understand government affairs, and he just needed such an auxiliary official who was proficient in government affairs, and secondly, Bonaparte was only an outsider after all, and it was a process that needed to be familiar in many things.
Seeing Bonaparte summoning him, Geman looked at the wooden stick in his hand, then gritted his teeth, stamped his foot and muttered, "Maybe I can become a nobleman too!"
After speaking, Geman put on a flattering smile, bowed his waist and trotted to Bonaparte's side: "Master, you command, Geman is here." ”
Bonaparte raised his eyebrows, and seeing the change in Geman, Bonaparte knew that this thing was finally dead set on himself: "Come, let me introduce you two, this is Geman, and I will be my auxiliary in the future." ”
"Geman, these two are the warriors of our village, they are the most experienced hunters in the forest, you should be more close. Bonaparte smiled and introduced each other, and there were some vain words, after all, everyone likes to be complimented.
"Master, with all due respect, this kind of hunter in the forest is actually those mountain people, they usually go up to the mountains to hunt, and then bring the prey to the village to sell, and when it is time to collect taxes, they go up the mountain to evade taxes, in fact, they are just a household registration name in the village, so as not to be caught as a homeless person and arrested to be a slave, they are moths!"
"It's you who will only oppress us civilians, and if it weren't for the fact that you forced us to pay taxes and caused us to lose our ancestral land, we would have been forced to go into the woods to hunt. Not to be outdone, an old hunter at the head retorted.
"Yes, you are the most hateful of thieves and rat-brained auxiliary officials! It is people like you who bewitch the people around the master, and this makes life in the village more and more difficult. Another villager also helped.
Geman had quarreled with two people by himself, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, and was about to say with a red face, but was stopped by Bonaparte, who instead looked at the old hunter who was the leader: "What's your name?"
"Back to the old man, the little one is called Ramos. The old hunter replied respectfully, seeing that Bonaparte seemed to be very serious.
"Why did you take part in this fight, since you were only a 'mountain man' in the village?" was very curious about Bonaparte, and he had to ask.
"Master, in fact, you don't know, in fact, our Daleng Village used to be a very large village, and the villagers of our village are also very united, so in the neighboring villages are also the only ones we are looking forward to, until the previous village chief came, skillfully grabbed, did not care to govern the village, but wantonly exploited, many villagers could not survive, this was forced to go up the mountain, this time the small down the mountain to sell prey, seeing that our village has been bullied like this, angry but also stood up to help. ”
"Are you saying that a lot of people in our village have gone to the mountains?"
"Yes, sir, there are still more than 200 families living in the forest in the south of the village, all of whom were from our village before. Ramos hesitated and revealed the truth.
"Hahaha! God help me!" Bonaparte laughed when he heard this, this is a few hundred more people, which is a great gift to himself, and these villagers are hunters who can be used with a little training.
"Ramos, when you get back to the village, you go and inform the villagers that they have all moved out of the woods, and tell them that I will not charge them a poll tax, but that all the villagers will be included in the 'military household', and if you enter the 'military household', you will not have to pay the poll tax, never!" Bonaparte commanded excitedly, shaking Ramos's shoulder.
The household system of the Ming Dynasty was criticized by many later generations, but at this time, the use of the household system of the Ming Dynasty was the most suitable, which made Bonaparte feel very excited.
"Sir, but then we will have a lot less source of taxes......" German quickly entered the role, and soon began to plan for Bonaparte.
"It's all right!" interrupted Bonaparte with a wave of his hand, who was now happy.
