Chapter 227: Appeasement
Taiping City, Liu Xingwen looked at Qin Feng with a smile on his face with a complicated face, he has been under house arrest here for nearly two months, and now he is approaching the end of the year, and he is finally going to be free, and he was released with him, as well as the last thousand county soldiers. In two months, Liu Xingwen has gained a lot of weight, and he has raised a lot of white, but his soldiers are not so lucky, in order to be able to eat a full meal, they have to desperately cut down trees, cut down stones, and build houses in the ice and snow.
Compared with Liu Xingwen, who was neatly dressed and ruddy-faced, they were all ragged and unkempt, and the only thing that was gratifying was that they were much stronger than at the beginning. As long as they work hard, the bandits are still very trustworthy, and with a large amount of grain being transported up the mountain, there is no shortage of food in Taiping City now. Liu Xingwen alone brought in 500,000 catties of grain.
"General Liu, I'm not far away." Qin Feng smiled and arched his hand at Liu Xingwen, "Old Man Liu's spirit is extraordinary, Qin Feng admires it very much, if he is destined on a different day, he must go to the house to visit, if Old Man Liu is interested, I also welcome him as a guest in Taiping City." ”
Looking at the excited bandit leader opposite, Liu Xingwen couldn't cry or laugh, but now it is the best result, at least, he is still alive, and he has also brought back most of the county soldiers.
"Thank you General Qin for your hospitality during this time, Liu is unforgettable, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely be rewarded." He returned the salute.
"There's going to be a chance." Qin Feng laughed and said: "We have a happy cooperation with the Liu family in Shayang this time, and I believe that there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”
Liu Xingwen froze, took a deep breath, turned around, and walked along the avenue into the distance, behind him, more than a thousand county soldiers followed in turn, Old Man Liu was single, and the transaction did not play any tricks, Qin Feng was also generous once, these more than 1,000 county soldiers, but they all went back with weapons.
"Looks like it's good to be a bandit." Beside him, Shu Chang sighed: "It's so easy to get money and food, tie up a few meat tickets, and you will have a lot of income, but you can save worry." ”
Qin Feng shrugged, "This is a case, change places, change people, you try, keep the head and break the blood." ”
"This old lady Liu is amazing, such a big thing, he can cover it tightly, and quietly complete the transaction with us, it's amazing. By the way, now that Fengxian is also ours, what are you going to do? Who to send out to be the county commander? "Shu Chang is very happy, after fighting this battle, he not only got countless money and food, but also picked up a Feng County for nothing.
"Let's talk about this later, now let's go and meet the refugees who brought the food." Qin Feng said with a smile: "They were sold by Old Lady Liu, and when they arrived in this deep mountain and old forest, they couldn't help but feel a little unstable, and there were some riots two days ago, and they were suppressed." I asked them to elect some representatives and have a good talk with them. Once you have negotiated it, you can stay with peace of mind! ”
Shu Chang snorted: "Toast and don't eat and drink, dare to make trouble, don't look, the heavily armed county soldiers have been beaten into dogs by us, they can still make waves, according to me, starve them for a few days, keep them obedient." ”
"No, no, no!" Qin Feng shook his head: "This is the first batch of people to move in our Taiping City, we have to let them live in peace." ”
"Boss Qin, this is more than 10,000 young people, if you don't show some strength to let them see, you really want to make trouble, enough for us to drink a pot." Shu Chang said: "Don't think that Mrs. Liu really has any good intentions, look at these people he brought, not only are they young and strong, but most of them have family members outside, homesickness and missing relatives is inevitable, you have to be gentle, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
"Old lady Liu did give me a problem." Qin Feng said with a smile: "But it's also an opportunity, our Taiping City, what will be lacking in the future is people, if these people can live with peace of mind, when the family arrives, it will be tens of thousands of people." It's also a small town. ”
"Old man Liu is really a cunning old fox, he actually buried such a nail here." Shu Chang said fiercely: "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have let that Liu Xingwen turn into a tuberculosis ghost and go back, see if he can laugh or not." ”
Qin Feng chuckled, "There's no need, we still have to deal with them in the future, my Divine Doctor Shu, our pattern is not just in front of us, not just Feng County, my next step is to take Shayang County into my arms, and when the time comes, it is indispensable to cooperate with this old lady Liu!" Besides, although there are many young and strong people, there is a very important problem, that is, they are not from the same place, but from all parts of Shayang County, and it is difficult for them to be united, in my opinion, it is much easier than dealing with the 4,000 county soldiers. There's also a small group of guys with a bare rod here, so it's easier to deal with. Let's go, let me see. ”
In a large house that had just been built, a real fire was blazing, constantly dissipating the chill in the house, and more than a dozen men, the oldest of whom looked to be over fifty years old, and the youngest one was no more than in his early twenties, sitting or standing, with nervous expressions on their faces, they were the leaders of these young men who had been deceived into the mountains.
As Qin Feng said, these people, come from different places, their minds are also different, most of the people who made trouble a few days ago have family members still in Shayang County, when they find that they can't leave freely, they can't help but panic, and the trouble will rise, but the people here are not good men and women, three times five divided by two, they suppressed these troublemakers, and now there are hundreds of people tied up in the forest, although so far, there are no dead people, but this ice and snow, tied outside, But it won't last long.
And more, they are characters who have nothing to worry about, one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry, these people don't care where they live, as long as they can eat enough, it doesn't matter, outside Shayang City, they are still hungry. The only bad thing is that I heard that there are some bandits entrenched in this mountain, which can't help but make them feel a little hairy, they feel that they are all good people, and being bandits is naturally not their choice.
In front of them, Wang Hou was sitting, talking to them with a smile on his face, slowly dispelling the tension of these people.
The door was pushed open, Qin Feng and Shu Chang appeared in front of everyone, everyone in the room stood up and looked at the young man in front of them in awe, although he had not been here for a long time, but these people in the room also knew that this young man who didn't look very old was the head of everyone here.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is what I am talking about with General Qin, and General Qin will give you a satisfactory answer to the questions you are concerned about." Wang Hou smiled and solemnly introduced Qin Feng to these representatives.
"Sit, sit!" Qin Feng walked up to everyone with a smile, sat down cross-legged, and stretched out his hand to greet everyone. "It's a little hard in the mountains, I don't know if everyone is still used to it?"
Listening to Qin Feng's question, everyone had different faces, and was silent for a long time, and a young man with a strong figure and a dark face said: "The big boss, you are used to it, in fact, it is better to live here than in Shayang County, there is food, a house to live in, and hot soup, that is, it is ......."
"I'm not a big man." Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand, "This friend, we are not bandits, my surname is Qin, well, you can get used to it, if there is anything unsatisfactory, say it boldly." ”
The swarthy man was stunned for a moment, and then said: ".......No, no, General Qin, it's actually very good here, but some people say that you are bandits, we, we have been good people for generations, I, I don't want to be a bandit." ”
Qin Feng laughed, "Do you think we look like bandits? ”
The swarthy man was stunned again, "Actually, I don't think it's very like, your rules and discipline are very big, and talking counts, I was the first to send grain up the mountain, and when I came, let us work here, and I eat enough every day, General Qin, you don't know, I'm big, I have a lot of strength, and I work hard, but I also eat a lot, every time I take charge, I send me one more steamed bun, I'm still quite satisfied, that is, I just don't want to be a bandit." ”
Qin Feng nodded, "Well, I don't want to be bandits, but we're not bandits either, Old Lady Liu from Shayang County knows, right?" ”
"I know, when we were in Shayang County, we often went to the porridge shed to drink porridge, but the porridge was so scarce that we barely starved to death, but that was also a good person."
"That's right, these grains were sent to us by Mrs. Liu, we are friends with Mrs. Liu, do you think Mrs. Liu will be connected with bandits?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
The crowd in the room shook their heads. Mrs. Liu's reputation for many years of hard work in Shayang County is not covered.
"I understand, you are officers and soldiers, and you are preparing to counterattack the Qi country and regain our lost territory." The swarthy man suddenly realized.
Qin Feng coughed dryly, this man himself found a reason for them, which was not bad. "That is, we want to build a city here, Tuntian here, train soldiers, and once the time is ripe, we will cooperate with the imperial court soldiers and horses to kill and return to our hometown." He said nonsense.
"I see, then I'm relieved." The swarthy man suddenly realized, "Then I'll go back and talk to our people, so that everyone can rest assured that they are working here, there is food here, and if they really want to leave, they will not starve to death." ”
Qin Feng nodded again and again, and said in his heart, this big guy is really cute. "What's your name?"
"My name is Dazhu, and everyone calls me Dazhu." The swarthy man laughed.
"Okay, Dazhu, you can also tell your companions when you go back, working here, not only can you have enough to eat, but also have wages to pay, we are now working out a charter, and when everything is straightened out, as long as you work, you will have money, work more, get more."
Dazhu was even more excited when he heard it, and he smiled and stepped aside.
"General Qin." Another old man with a sad face stood up and bent deeply towards Qin Feng. "I, I have something to say." (To be continued.) )
