Chapter 431: Cash-for-Work
……
Xu Fei returned to the village
Gather everyone, and then say to them: "I have accepted the surrender of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian!" ”
When he heard this first sentence, the remnants of the yellow scarf in front of him instantly boiled.
"Silence!"
erupted with a strong momentum in his body, and a loud roar resounded in everyone's ears like thunder.
Everyone present instantly fell silent again.
"Xuzhou Mu has promised me to forgive us the identity of the Yellow Turban Army, and we will still be the people of Xuzhou from now on."
If you say that the quarrel just now, it was because I was afraid that Xu Fei, the general, would sell them.
But after hearing this, everyone showed a smile of surprise.
"At the same time, Xuzhou Mu also promised to send a little military rations!"
"I'll distribute this ration to you, and then you can go back to your hometown!"
Hearing this, Ma Wu took the lead in standing up and said to Xu Fei: "General, I still want to follow you!" ”
"Yes, I want to follow the general too!" Another man stood up and said.
Then more people stood up and said that they would follow Xu Fei.
In their hearts, even if they get the military rations and return to their hometowns, what can they do? It's not that you don't have enough food and clothing.
It's better to follow Xu Fei, a general, all the time, at least you can eat a mouthful of military food in the future.
Even though Xu Fei tried every means to persuade them, they still stubbornly wanted to stay.
"If you want to stay, then I will tell you in advance, you will definitely not be able to eat the military rations for long. After the winter, I will lead you to reclaim the wasteland and grow food for self-sufficiency! ”
Most of the people said that they wanted to continue to follow Xu Fei, and only a small number of people could not leave their homeland and wanted to get food to return to their hometown.
When Zang Ba escorted a dozen carts to the village.
Xu Fei gave them a part of the military rations, and then let them leave on their own.
As for the others, when they saw the grain entering the village, their faces were full of smiles.
"General Xu, I don't know when you plan to send troops to suppress the rebellion?"
Zang Ba, who entered the village with the military rations, opened his mouth and asked Xu Fei.
"Sending troops? When did I say I was going to send troops? ”
Hearing Xu Fei's answer, Zang Ba said with a surprised face: "Didn't you promise Tao Envoy Jun to pacify all the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou within three months?" ”
"Haha!"
Xu Fei chuckled twice, and then replied to him: "To pacify the Yellow Turban Army, you don't necessarily need to send troops!" ”
Zang Ba was even more puzzled about this, how to quell the rebellion without sending troops?
Xu Fei returned to his small courtyard, followed by Zang Ba.
At this time, Ma Wu was waiting for him in the courtyard.
"General, why did you call me here?"
"Hmm!"
Xu Fei nodded and instructed him, "I have a task for you to complete." ”
"General, please order!"
"I want you to spread a message."
"Let's just say that I, Xu Fei, accepted the surrender of Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou, asking for money and money, and asking for grain, and gathering other remnants of the Yellow Turban here!"
"Anyone who comes to me can get rid of the identity of the Yellow Turban Army, have food, shelter and land, and become the people of Xuzhou again!"
Hearing this news, Ma Wu was also quite shocked: "General, is what you said true?" ”
"Of course it's true, let's spread the word!"
"Yes!"
Ma Wu left in a hurry.
On the side, Zang Ba said suspiciously: "General Xu, are you planning to attract all the Yellow Turban Army like this, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop?" ”
"Annihilation? Why annihilate? ”
"If not, what will happen to the remnants of the Yellow Turban you have gathered?"
"With so many people, the military rations that Jun sent you are not enough to feed them!"
Xu Fei patted Zang Ba's shoulder with his hand.
"You don't have to worry about it, I have my own plan!"
With food, Xu Fei has to solve the problem.
He announced in front of everyone that since you choose to stay, listen to him.
If you want to eat, you can, but you have to work.
Let's start with the simplest way to build a house.
Whether it's built with wood, piled with stones, or built with earth and then poured with water......
Anyway, you only have to work to build a house.
More work, more, less work!
As for those who are old, weak, sick and disabled, physically injured and unable to work, Xu Fei can only provide thin soup every day to ensure that they will not starve to death.
In this way, the scale of the originally abandoned small village has become larger and larger.
But as the news of Ma Wu spread.
There are also more and more remnants of yellow turbans coming here
It just so happened that Xu Fei had built so many empty houses, which were enough for them to live in.
Like the previous ones, the later ones had to work to eat.
Just a month down.
The size of this small village is almost as large as a small city, and there are 100,000 remnants of yellow turbans!
Fortunately, the military rations promised by Tao Qian were sent in a steady stream, otherwise Xu Fei would really not be able to feed them.
This is also due to the fact that the remnants of the Yellow Turban gathered here, so that there were fewer and fewer rebellions in other parts of Xuzhou, so Tao Qian sent the follow-up military rations to Xu Fei.
But as there were more and more people, even if Tao Qian really gave Xu Fei all the military rations, it would not be enough for him to support him for long.
In addition to the remnants of the yellow scarves in some places, they didn't come to Xu Fei here at all.
This is also what Xu Fei is looking forward to!
Those who do not come to him for their labor in exchange for food are the real 'Yellow Turban Army'!
Every day, I know that I robbed homes and houses, scourged the people, and looted money and food!
For this reason, Xu Fei asked Ma Wu to investigate these remnants of information, and then prepare to lead the troops to the expedition when they were all wiped out, and then obtain supplies.
However, before sending troops, he wanted to meet Xuzhou Mu Taoqian.
Since handing over the counterinsurgency to Xu Fei, Tao Qian has lived in Xuzhou Mufu in Tan County.
Tan County is not far from Xu Fei's village
Hurry up, don't take half a day to arrive.
In front of the pastoral mansion, Xu Fei stood in front of the door, waiting for Tao Qian's summons after the report was completed.
After a long time
A handsome young scribe walked out of the palace
Seeing Xu Fei waiting at the door, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Presumably this is General Xu Fei Xu!" ”
Xu Fei arched his hand and said: "It's just below, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
"Xuzhou don't drive, Mi Zhu, the word Zizhong!"
famous, Xu Fei couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The Mi family, that is a famous wealthy family in Xuzhou, in Donghai County, it is the Mi family who has the final say!
The Mi family has been in business for generations, with businesses all over the world and rich assets.
Especially in Mi Zhu's generation, the business is getting bigger and bigger, not only second to none in Xuzhou, but also in the entire Han Dynasty.
"It turned out to be Mi engaged, disrespectful!"
Mi Zhu replied with a smile: "It should be that I am disrespectful!" ”
"I have long heard that General Xu is both wise and brave, and he also took the initiative to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Xuzhou."
"Without sending a single soldier, nearly half of the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Xuzhou were gathered in one place!"
"Cash-for-work! I'm right! ……”
Just when Mi Zhu wanted to continue talking with Xu Fei.
The people in the mansion have come out to summon Xu Fei and let Xu Fei enter!
"Mi engaged, summoned by the king, I'll go in first!"
After saying goodbye, Xu Fei entered the mansion and met Tao Qian under the leadership of his subordinates.
Mi Zhu was behind him, looking at his back meaningfully.
