Chapter 317: Belonging
The suspicion was lifted, but Lu Yunzhou was still unmoved, and said in a deep voice: "You should understand that this is a military camp, and whether it is a soldier or a logistician in the army, it may face a battle at any time, which means that if you choose to stay, even if you are only responsible for some hard work, you may still die in any sudden attack at any time...... Aren't you afraid of death?"
Meng Fu and the others nodded secretly, yes, these villagers may not have thought through before making a decision, but when they face the choice of life and death, how many people can still firm their original intentions?
In everyone's eyes, Gou Huai replied with emotion: "The villain does not hide from Qi Gongzi, in fact, the villain has been used to seeing death since he was a child, and in our country, almost every year, countless poor people starve to death, die of exhaustion, or are oppressed to death by officials. To tell the truth, who in this world is really not afraid of death, but the villain believes that at least Qi Gongzi will not take the initiative to harm our lives, so even if one day in the future, we all die in a certain battle, that is also our life, and we will never regret the choice we made today!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was moved, even Lu Yunzhou, who had been expressionless, was also slightly moved, and nodded lightly.
The soldiers of this era are not afraid of life and death in the face of the battlefield, and that is only because they are forced, and retreating without a fight is also death!
That's why Gou Huai's words are so valuable!
Meng Fu, Xiao Yuetan and Cheng Song nodded again and again, looked at Lu Yunzhou, waiting for his decision, the three of them already felt that Gou Huai was available, but in the end, it still depended on Lu Yunzhou's opinion.
Of course, in the eyes of these three people, it is enough to leave Gou Huai alone, and the other villagers will naturally find a way to resettle, and it is impossible to bring so many oil bottles on the way!
Lu Yunzhou nodded with satisfaction, but did not immediately agree, his eyes moved, and he asked again: "Do you know how many people like you who can't live in the country?"
Gou Huai was slightly stunned, a look of pain flashed in his eyes for a short time, and then he said categorically: "The villain doesn't know the exact number, but the villain knows that such people are everywhere in the country!"
"Good!"
Lu Yunzhou stood up suddenly, walked in front of Gou Huai, looked at him seriously, and said, "I can keep you, provided that you do something for me!"
Gou Huai trembled excitedly, and kowtowed again and again: "Qi Gongzi, please instruct, the villain can have the honor to do things for Qi Gongzi, and he will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up!"
Lu Yunzhou said: "I can take in your old people, women and children first, but you have to choose ten middle-aged men among the villagers who defected, I will give you ten horses and six days' rations, you immediately go to the villages in various parts of the country, and inform the local people that if they can't live in the country anymore, they can come to my barracks, no matter how many people come, I will support you!"
As soon as these words came out, the three people in the big tent suddenly had a look of extreme surprise, and a look of embarrassment flashed on Meng Fu's face, and he looked at Lu Yunzhou without saying anything.
If it weren't for Meng Fu knowing that Lu Yunzhou had always been resourceful, he was afraid that he would have been unable to hold back at this moment, and he would have spoken out to dissuade him!
Lu Yunzhou wanted to take in the old and weak in this village, which had already made Meng Fu very puzzled, but he didn't expect Lu Yunzhou to go further, and those who came would not refuse to take in more displaced people!
Although they were accompanied by a fleet and had plenty of food, it was only enough for the consumption of the mission, even if Ah Dafu sent an extra grain boat when they were in Adu, it would be absolutely not enough for the displaced people of the entire country!
Besides, even if there is really enough food, it is not such a waste, food is the most important and irreplaceable strategic material in troubled times, how can it be used for charity?
What's more, they went on an important mission to take in such a large number of displaced people, and they were not afraid of slowing down their trips?
Xiao Yuetan was also very surprised, he knew more about Lu Yunzhou, knowing that this kid was a thief, it was impossible to be targeted, and it was impossible to make a loss-making deal, seeing Lu Yunzhou make such a firm promise, he couldn't help but bow his head and think.
Cheng Song's face was a little strange, and his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and he felt incredible about it!
No matter what kind of fierce psychological struggle the other people in the big tent were doing at the moment, when they heard Lu Yunzhou's words, there was a strong feeling of being moved by the death of a confidant in their eyes, and they agreed loudly without hesitation.
War horses are one of the most important strategic materials in this era, a war horse is the worst enough to exchange for an acre of fertile land, for a family to worry about food and clothing, Lu Yunzhou gave ten war horses this time, handed over to Gou Huai, it can be said that it is a big deal, which also represents Lu Yunzhou's trust and expectation of Gou Huai, Gou Huai can naturally feel how heavy the trust is.
Lu Yunzhou didn't seem to see Meng Fu's anxious gaze, and continued: "We have at least six days left in our journey to defend the country, and after six days, I will wait for you at the junction of Wei and Wei, and if you come, I will take you with me." But if someone runs away with a horse, then his family, I won't take it in anymore!"
It was rumored that Qi Bin had arranged everything and sent away Gou Huai, who was grateful to Dade, Meng Wei took a deep breath and walked to Lu Yunzhou's side.
Before Meng Wei could speak, he saw Lu Yunzhou squinting his eyes, stretching comfortably, clasping his hands in front of his chest, and whispering as if unintentionally: "Brother Meng, thank you for choosing to trust me and not interrupting my arrangements!"
As soon as Lu Yunzhou's words came out, Xiao Yuetan and Cheng Song immediately put down their thinking thoughts, and looked at Lu Yunzhou with blazing eyes, waiting for Lu Yunzhou's explanation.
Meng Fu closed his eyes, shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyu, why are you doing this?"
Lu Yunzhou's eyes flashed, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the tent in front of him, and came to the sky above this vast land, watching the people below wailing, the nobles feasting, and the soldiers being depressed...... The field of vision continued to pull upward, and the joys and sorrows of the scenes passed quickly, passing over the mountains, rivers, cities, and countryside...... Passing through Weiguo, Wei, Korea...... Finally, he came to the most potential land of this era - the sky above the Guanzhong Plain of Qin State.
Lu Yunzhou looked at the eight hundred miles of fertile soil below that was surrounded by continuous mountain ranges, looked at the people working on this fertile land, and whispered: "Because...... This doesn't belong to me!"
Lu Yunzhou suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
This era does not belong to me, this world does not belong to me, Qi country does not belong to me, Qi family does not belong to me, Qin country does not belong to me...... None of this belonged to me in the first place......
None of this belonged to me before I came.
But now, here I am.
Everything will change because of me!8)
