The villagers of Xiaodong Village came to take refuge?

Han Zhen, who had just woken up from his sleep, thought he hadn't woken up when he heard the news.

It is understandable that the villagers took refuge in the ......

Could it be that Song Huizong has made some kind of commotion again?

With doubts, Han Zhen rode all the way to the cottage.

Climb the wall and look down.

Ooh!

It's really a villager of Xiaodong Village.

When the villagers below saw Han Zhen, they immediately burst into cheers.

"Look, it's really Han Er!"

"We're coming to you!"

"Han Er, it's me!"

“……”

Han Zhen turned his head and asked, "Have you investigated?" ”

Nie Dong on the side replied: "The lowly party has already sent someone to investigate, there is no ambush in the rear, except for the spear in the hand of the leader, no one else has a sword and arrow, it is really just more than a hundred villagers." ”

Hearing this, Han Zhen nodded and said, "In this case, open the gate of the village and let them in." ”

Creak!

As the two heavy gates opened, the villagers immediately rushed in.

Entering the village, the villagers gathered in front of the gate of the village in a chaotic manner, looking around curiously while talking about it.

"Is it really a wasteland?"

"Is five buckets of rice wheat wheat?"

"Han Er, do you remember me, I'm your second uncle."

The gossip is noisy, and the noise is a headache.

Han Zhen had a cold face and shouted: "Silence! ”

Today's Han Zhen has a bit of an unangry and arrogant momentum, plus the soldiers around him look at him coldly.

For a while, the villagers of Xiaowang Village gradually quieted down and looked at him with apprehensive expressions.

Glancing around, Han Zhen casually pointed to a person and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

The villager who was pointed at was Zhang Qiao.

Facing Han Zhen's gaze, Zhang Qiao was frightened for a while, only feeling as if he was being targeted by a fierce tiger, and his back was cold.

Swallowing his saliva, he replied truthfully: "Today, a tax collector came to the village, saying that the official family should collect six yuan per person, and if they can't pay it all, they will be subject to military law." We really had no way to live, so we escaped from the village at night. ”

Hearing this, a hint of discoloration flashed in Han Zhen's eyes.

The natural disaster has not yet come, but the man-made disaster has come first.

Six yuan per person, is Song Huizong crazy?

Or does he have absolute confidence in the Zhao'an Law?

I can think with my toes that there will be frequent uprisings in the Northern Song Dynasty in the future.

Han Zhen asked again: "Why do you know that I am here?" ”

Zhang Qiao didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Yu Jun.

Seeing this, Yu Jun had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I went up the mountain to hunt a few days ago, and I happened to meet a fugitive going down the mountain, and I learned from the fugitive household that I was in Xiaowang Village. ”

"What about the other villagers?"

"They don't want to leave, they plan to sell the land and pay taxes."

Yu Jun said and begged: "Han Er, I won't hide it from you, just now Lu Da stopped him and didn't let him go, and he was killed by me." Now that I am a fugitive, and I have human life on my hands, I really have nowhere to go, I just ask you to take me in and enjoy food! ”

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "It's a bit bold, are you willing to join the army?" ”

"This ......"

Yu Jun was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "As long as I can keep my family alive, I am willing to join the army." ”

To tell the truth, his family has a large population, and his father was bitten off by a tiger and his leg is disabled.

The mother-in-law is a sick child again, unable to do heavy work, and there are three children waiting to be fed below.

Relying on him to manage a few acres of dry land, I am afraid that it will be difficult to mix food and clothing.

Han Zhen said: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, after joining the army, I will earn 500 wen a month, three dry meals a day, and one meat meal every three days." If there is military merit, there will be another reward. ”

Yu Jun was immediately overjoyed, he didn't expect that after joining the army, the treatment would be so good.

Hearing this, a young man hurriedly spoke: "I also want to join the army." ”

Glancing at him up and down, Han Zhen shook his head: "You farm honestly!" ”

In the past, they were all in the same village, and they knew each other's roots.

What kind of character this person is, he knows very well in his heart.

Now Han Zhen is not worried about the source of troops, and there are still a hundred reserves on the side of Songshan Ridge.

In addition, there will continue to be runaways and villagers coming to take refuge in the future, and you can choose slowly.

The reason why he was selected in the army was because he was originally a hunter, knew bows and arrows, had a strong temperament, and had the courage to kill, and he only needed some training to be a qualified soldier.

"It's late at night, you can just spend the night near the cottage. Tomorrow I will go to the village to register, and each household will be divided into two acres of barren land and five buckets of rice grain. ”

As soon as the words fell, the villagers of Xiaowang Village suddenly showed surprise.

He really divided the barren land and returned the rice grain.

Han Zhen instructed Nie Dong again: "Keep an eye on it tonight, if there is any change, don't be soft." ”

"Order!"

Nie Dong responded.

All the way back to the house, after tossing around, Han Zhen was no longer sleepy, and went straight to the study.

The imperial court's expropriation of Ding's money disrupted his plans.

His original intention was to survive for another two months, and when the natural disaster came, there would be smoke and frequent uprisings in the north.

At that point, you can take it in stride.

However, plans have not kept up with the changes.

Who would have thought that at this juncture, Song Huizong would dare to collect Ding body money nationwide.

It's so brave!

Turning out the paper and grinding some ink, Han Zhen picked up the pen and began to write and draw on the paper.

Linzi County - Qiancheng County - Boxing County.

These three counties are very close to each other, and they all converge in the upper right corner of Qingzhou, with high mountains and dense forests, backed by the Bohai Sea.

Occupy these three counties, just cut off the Jishui waterway and the official road of the three counties, and half of Qingzhou will fall into the hands, and you can go south to attack the county seat, and you can retreat to become a boundary of your own and live a free life.

Even if you plan for the worst, you can go to sea along the water.

The topography of Qingzhou is high in the northwest and low in the southeast.

It can be divided into two parts obliquely, the upper half is the three counties of Linzi, the mountains are high and dense, and the terrain is rugged.

Due to its remote location and harsh environment, the population is sparse, such as Linzi County, with only more than 3,000 households and a total of less than 20,000 people.

The lower half is a flat river, which is a large area of rich plains, and the county seat Yidu and Shouguang and Linqu are located here.

80% of Qingzhou's population and land are in the lower half.

In Yidu County alone, there are more than 80,000 households in the counties and towns under its jurisdiction, totaling more than 400,000 people.

In Han Zhen's plan, he first occupied the three counties of Linzi, accumulated strength, and then slowly plotted it.

Although he has a small number of men now, and there are only about a hundred soldiers, once he really raises the anti-flag and sweeps it, his power will soon expand rapidly.

This is the same as a snowball, a small snowball thrown from the top of a mountain will become a behemoth in the blink of an eye.

The difficulty is not in rolling the snowball, but in how to refine and compress it to make it denser.

Otherwise, no matter how big the snowball is, it will scatter when touched.

This was the case with many peasant uprisings, which began with only a few hundred people, but were soon able to gather hundreds of thousands, only to be broken up in an instant by the regular army.

And if you want to condense your power, in addition to a leader with brains and prestige, you also need a group of management talents.

Managerial talents are exactly what Han Zhen is currently lacking.

However, he has always felt that there are not many talents, but there is just a lack of Bole and a stage.

Pei County is the best example.

Without Liu Bang, Xiao He might just be a scribe until he died, Cao Shen would be a prison boy all his life, and Fan Hao would just be a dog slaughterer in the countryside.

Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have.

Can't it be the whole of Daqin, just these three talents happen to be all in Pei County, and they all happen to be good with Liu Bang?

It doesn't make sense.

Therefore, he deliberately exercised the people around him and gave them opportunities.

At present, there is only one monkey who is more prominent.

In a short period of time, the lime kiln was managed in an orderly manner, and dozens of workers were even more obedient.

Writing and writing, Han Zhen suddenly paused.

I saw that on the paper, in the logo of Linzi County, three words of Changzhi County were written.

This person, to kill or not to kill?

He hesitated.

Although this person in Changzhi County is a little cautious, so far, the cooperation between the two sides is quite pleasant.

But, after all, it is an official of the imperial court......
