"Village Guard?"

Qin Zhen was a little surprised, looking at Xu Xiang, who was weak, he groaned.

"The conditions of the village guard are difficult, and they are not suitable for you......"

"Don't you often say that women can hold up half the sky? If a man can kill the enemy, so can I! Xu Xiang's eyes were full of determination.

Qin Zhen was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

"Tomorrow, you will report to Chen Shu."

"I'll go now." Xu Xiang seemed to be afraid that Qin Zhen would regret it, so he dropped this sentence and left without looking back.

At this time, Li Han's shout came from outside the door: "Zhen'er, Brother Liu is back!" ”

Liu Quan?

When I went out, I saw Liu Quan standing at the entrance of the village and greeting the old village chief from a distance.

Seeing Qin Zhen coming, Liu Quan immediately ran up and punched Qin Zhen in the chest.

"Town, alright! Silently killed more than 100 pirates! I'm going to come back to help, but I didn't expect you to be so awesome! ”

Qin Zhen clutched his chest and smiled, "Why are you back?" ”

"I'll come back to see our big heroes in Coastal County!" Liu Quan hooked Qin Zhen's shoulders and admired him: "Don't you know, the entire county has spread all over the county!" Now you go out and ask casually, who is not the same brother in our small fishing village? I heard that the county magistrate has been dispatched, and he wants to come to comfort you, the big hero, in person! ”

The voice did not fall.

In the distance, on the long path, a carriage came out.

He was followed by many officers and soldiers, as well as a large number of ordinary people who came to visit him.

The county ordered Zhang to get off the carriage and shout as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Where are the heroes who fought against the pirates?"

Chen Zhutou gave Qin Zhen a look, and the two hurriedly greeted him.

"Xiaguan (grass people) meet your lord!"

"Lao Chen!" Zhang Yan grabbed Chen Zhu's head, and his face was indescribably pleasant: "You really gave me a big surprise!" ”

Chen Zhutou said: "Serve the adults, serve the court, and the officials are only dead!" ”

No matter what he thought in his heart, at least the scene was very beautiful, which made Zhang Cong very satisfied.

"My lord, this is the Qin Zhen I mentioned to you." Master Huang Jue said in a deep voice.

Zhang Yan had already noticed Qin Zhen.

Don't look at Qin Zhen is only sixteen years old, there is a kind of profundity that has gone through vicissitudes between his eyebrows, especially in those seemingly flattering black eyes, there is a coldness and silence that seems to be nothing.

It was a kind of restraint that had seen blood.

This son is not ordinary!

"It turned out to be a well-known bear fighting hero in our county!" Zhang Yan smiled kindly, thinking that this young man was young, not only able to fight with brown bears, but also dare to resist Haikou, his heart became more and more curious about Qin Zhen.

"This battle can expel the pirates, and the people of your small fishing village have contributed a lot!"

"The adults are benevolent, and the people dare to rise up and fight! If there is a merit, it should also be the work of an adult! Qin Zhen replied.

Seeing Qin Zhen so upright, Zhang Yan became more and more happy.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"The grass people have nothing to do, they just hope that the adults can sympathize with the people who died in this war." Qin Zhen's answer was neither humble nor arrogant.

At this time, Zhang Cong noticed that the white paper in the small fishing village was floating, as if he was worshipping the souls of the dead.

"My lord, the loss of this war in the small fishing village is huge, why don't you exempt the people from paying taxes and conscription for three months and let the people recuperate?" Huang Jue reminded in a timely manner.

Three months, it's better to be inevitable.

Qin Zhen knew that the master was deliberately throwing bricks and attracting jade.

Sure enough, Zhang Wei glared: "How can three months be enough?" In this way, the small fishing village will be exempt from tax for three years from today! No conscription during this period! ”

Three years of tax money is a lot of money, and in a coastal county with a withered population, it is also a lot of money.

In particular, the absence of conscription means that you will not be arrested.

For the development of small fishing villages, there are advantages and disadvantages.

"The grass people represent the fathers and villagers of the small fishing village, thank you, my lord!"

When the old village chief who was waiting on the side heard that he had been exempted from paying taxes for three years, the old folds on his face bloomed, and he couldn't wait to dance with his hands.

The taxes of big merchants are extremely strict, and the burden on the people at the bottom is extremely heavy!

is also like Liu Juan's previous poll tax.

Taxes are exempted, and the people of the village don't know how much easier! Deserted land can also be re-cultivated.

"The grass people have the courage to ask for a favor from the adults." Qin Zhen's posture was extremely low: "In this battle, under the command of Lord Chen, the villagers fought bravely to kill the enemy, although they won by luck, but many people died tragically under the sword of the Haikou because they were unarmed...... The grass people want to beg the adults, can you even some of the captured knives to defend us? ”

Haikou could make a comeback at any time, and Qin Zhen couldn't rely on a repeater every time.

He had to get a bunch of swords and arm the villagers.

"This ......" Zhang Yan was a little embarrassed.

First, it is because the big merchants have extremely strict control over iron tools, and ordinary people are strictly prohibited from using iron tools.

The second reason is that these knives are seized materials, and it is very likely that they will be counted and confiscated in the future.

If it is evenly given to Qin Zhen, it is not easy to make a difference if someone from above asks.

"My lord, the lower official has an idea." Huang Jue spoke again: "Haikou has repeatedly violated the border, maybe one day they will land again, the county is short of troops, it is difficult to resist, why not select the villagers among the people to form a righteous army?" ”

It is true that the people ban iron weapons, but if it is a township brave raised by the county government, it is reasonable to carry iron tools.

Qin Zhen was slightly surprised, he originally wanted to use this reason, but he never thought that this Huang Jue was actually the same as he thought!

"It's a good idea!" Zhang's eyes lit up.

After all, he is also afraid of the comeback of the pirates, and God knows when these evil Taiwanese who have suffered a thousand knives will land again?

Raising the village warriors can not only train combat power to fight against the pirates; At the same time, Xiang Yong is not counted among the soldiers, and he can't be counted as recruiting soldiers privately.

It's just that......

Raising Xiangyong requires training and silver, which stumped Zhang Cong.

"Adults don't have to worry about money, grass people can be responsible." Qin Zhen seemed to see through Zhang Cong's heart, and said very intimately: "Presumably the adults have also seen that our village sells fish for a living, relying on the sea to eat the sea, and the villagers can be self-sufficient." ”

Zhang was despised and happy, and he only remembered that he also had a share of the fish and meat business in the small fishing village.

In this way, this Xiangyong is indeed only one name away.

"In that case, then the official will allow you to form a village warrior."

Zhang Cong is not worried that Xiang Yongwei will not be able to get rid of it, after all, Xiang Yong is different from the bandits, Xiang Yong is mostly ordinary people with families and businesses, and they want to eat. Moreover, in the fish business of the small fishing village, he Zhang despised the lion's share, and Qin Zhen only made a profit, how many people can he afford?

On the contrary, let Qin Zhen form a township Yong, not only to defend against the Japanese invaders.

Your small fishing village has a village bravery, and there is naturally no need for the government to contribute to dealing with mountain bandits.

At the same time, the fish and meat business is bigger, and the more he earns.

Three birds with one stone, why not?

At this time, Zhang Yan didn't know that what Qin Zhen wanted was this name!

"The grass people have the courage to ask the adults to give ink and set up a plaque of the anti-Japanese model village to highlight the merits and benevolence of the adults, and at the same time, it can also allow the people of coastal counties to actively participate and fight the enemy together!"

Zhang is a man of letters.

Literati, naturally love names.

Qin Zhen's words almost reached Zhang Zhen's heart.

In the future, the imperial court will send people down, and all they can see will be in the name of benevolence and righteousness of his contempt?
