Chapter 20: The Flame of the Great Cause
As the supreme governor of Black Bear Castle, Du Xuan naturally had to have a comprehensive understanding of his own territory, especially his own people.
Although the people of Black Bear Fort today are all displaced people brought by Du Fengfeng, these displaced people are all dragging their families with their mouths, and they are obviously all good people, and only because they have no way to live, they will drag their families out to break through.
Sou!
A small sandbag flew in front of Du Xuan from nowhere, if Du Xuan was an ordinary person, he was afraid that he would have been hit by the sandbag. Du Xuan's body was slightly on one side, and he easily took the sandbag in his hand.
A boy of about five or six years old stood by in a daze, the child was obviously frightened, because he saw his sandbag fly towards the most powerful man in Black Bear Castle, the third son of the Du family.
"Whose child's child is not good at discipline, and he almost collided with Du Gongzi!" Du Feng shouted very dissatisfied.
Soon a young woman dressed in tatters rushed out of a room, walked over and walked the boy who threw the sandbag just now to Du Xuan and knelt down: "Third son, don't be surprised, my family is unintentional, I will discipline him well when I go back." ”
"This sister-in-law, get up, it doesn't matter if children play. Don't be so afraid, I'm not a robber who kills people without blinking. Du Xuan hurriedly helped the boy and the young woman up, and then glared back at Du Feng.
Du Feng hurriedly drooped his head, looking at his nose and nose, and looking at his heart and heart.
"Thank you, Sangongzi, thank you, Sangongzi. The young woman thanked her again and again.
"This sister-in-law, where did you come from? In the past few years, Daqi has been considered to have been in good weather, how can you not live and become a homeless person?" Du Xuan asked casually.
"Alas, if life can go on, who wants to be an outcast? We are Xining Weilantian Fort people, although there have been no natural disasters in recent years, but there are human disasters. The barbarians invaded the border, and all the guards in the fort drove to the border. In the past, when the brute beasts came out to cause trouble, the guards in the fort would be responsible for driving them away and killing them. As soon as the guards left, and the brutes came out, we, the common people, could not deal with it at all, and the fertile fields were destroyed and the houses were destroyed. Naturally, this day will not go on. The young woman sighed and shook her head.
"Shouldn't it? Even if the guards are requisitioned, there should still be a militia in the fort?" Du Xuan asked puzzled, Du Xuan was still very familiar with the system of Daqi.
"The militias, the militias are all those nobles and powerful people. They wish that all the common people were ruined, and they could occupy all those heavens and earths. As soon as we left, our land became a wasteland, and the nobles and nobles gained large tracts of land without much effort. All the houses in our village were broken, and most of them were sold into the families of nobles and powerful as servants. The young woman said.
"What about you?" asked Du Xuan.
"Those nobles and heroes only need to work, and we have old people and small tractors, and they don't want to support idlers. The young woman said.
"I'm different from those heroes, the kind of people who abandon their families and children, I don't want any of them, just good people. Live your life in the fort. I, Du Xuan, have been in Black Bear Fort for a day, and I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. Life is a bit harder now, and when the land of Fort Black Bear has a harvest, life will get better and better in the future. Du Xuan said.
"Thank you, Third Young Master. We are doing well now, and we have a full meal every day, and we have the meat of the beasts to eat. This is all the benevolence and righteousness of the third young master, and we will do our best to do things for the third young master in the future!" the young woman said.
"You don't have to work hard, as long as everyone does their best, everyone must understand that this Black Bear Fort is not only my Du family's, but also everyone's. Du Xuan said loudly.
At this time, there were already many residents of Black Bear Fort surrounded by them. Hearing Du Xuan's words, and then thinking of the time when he lived in Black Bear Castle, he naturally understood that what Du Xuan said was true, and Du Xuan was different from other nobles. They originally thought that they would have to live a hard life when they came to the remote and remote country of Black Bear Castle, but they didn't expect that this place would be a paradise for the homeless. Not to mention anything else, the full meal and brute meat of the three meals a day are real. Here, they see the hope of living and working in peace.
"Thank you for the benevolence and righteousness of the third prince, we will definitely do our best to contribute to the Black Bear Fort in the future!"
"Yes, if the barbarians dare to come to the Black Bear Castle, all of us will fight with the barbarians!"
"Serve the third son!"
......
The crowd gathered more and more, and the crowd was excited, and all of a sudden it turned into a national convention of the Black Bear Castle.
Du Xuan naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, stood everywhere, and pressed down with both hands first. The noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and the birds were silent, waiting for Du Xuan to speak.
When Du Xuan first arrived at Black Bear Fort, there were only a few dilapidated thatched huts in Black Bear Fort, and there were no residents, but now, I saw a hopeful Black Bear Fort slowly rising. Tens of thousands of acres of wasteland have been planted with Chiyang rice, and in two months, we will be able to eat the grain we have grown with our own hands. When I brought you here, I asked Du Feng to promise you that after you come here, you will be able to eat a full meal, and the brute beast will have enough meat. But now is not enough, I hope that you can live a better life, be able to wear beautiful clothes, and be able to live in a clean house. In the future, the children of Black Bear Fort will be able to get ahead! Commoners also have a path to the nobility......"
The more Du Xuan spoke, the more excited he became, and unconsciously attached Haoran's righteousness to his voice, turning a speech into an edification. The people of Black Bear Fort looked at Du Xuan's eyes, from gratitude at the beginning to worship at the back. If the barbarians attack at this time, as long as Du Xuan gives an order, the people of Black Bear Castle, even the little kid who was still playing with sandbags just now, will take up arms and fight the barbarians.
And the more than 100 officers and soldiers of Black Bear Fort were already completely loyal to Du Xuan at this time. Ordinary soldiers, when the casualties reach a certain percentage, a rout will occur. But even if the die-hard soldier fights to the last man, as long as the leader does not give the order to retreat, no one will break and flee.
Du Xuan himself didn't realize that he had planted the seeds for his great cause by giving a speech at random.
After Du Xuan's speech, the most direct consequence was that the construction speed of Black Bear Fort suddenly increased, almost double that of normal days. The area of reclaimed wasteland suddenly increased from 10,000 to 20,000 mu.
In addition, several homeless people from Black Bear Fort offered to go back and bring relatives to settle in Black Bear Fort . The sergeants of Fort Black Bear also offered to bring their families to Fort Black Bear. More people wrote letters for people to take them out, asking relatives and friends to come to Black Bear Castle. In this way, the population of Fort Black Bear is increasing every day.
