Even some of the bold ones whispered timidly: "My lord, that's my family's cow...... The work of three acres of land is all done by this livestock, and we have a family of six! ”

Dong Ce's brows furrowed slightly.

He knew that many of the cattle belonged to these people, and that even many of the seizures of the horse thieves were theirs, but that did not mean that he would redistribute them. After all, these are ownerless things now, anyone can claim them, and anyone can say that they are their own, and no matter how Dong Ce distributes them, there will be people who are not satisfied. Dong Ce also didn't believe that these people would be honest to that extent.

Inevitably, it will cause some trouble again.

Moreover, Dong Ce is now in the period of rapid expansion of his power, the enemy is current, and the Houjin Tartar is extremely fierce, and he is seizing all the time to continuously expand the power in his hands. And any resources in front of him will not be let go of him, let alone those that have fallen into his hands.

Dong Ce has never been a soft-hearted person.

The grain exchanged for a sheep can feed two soldiers and a family of five, and if Dong Ce chooses, he will definitely choose the former.

In terms of mood, the heroic posture has begun to appear!

But he also knows that for him, it is a sheep and a cow, but for a family, it may be the hope of their whole family and the hope of survival! Without this livestock, I'm afraid that *one* book* reading* novel xstxt will be the whole family will starve to death.

How to choose, but it is a bit difficult.

Seeing that Dong Ce's expression was a little uncertain, Yelu Lihe had already taken two steps forward with a wrought copper mace, and let out a low roar from his mouth: "Presumptuous!" Are you all impatient? ”

When the people saw him so fierce, if the huge cooked copper wedge like an iron latch fell down, they were afraid that the whole person would become a pulp? Suddenly, there was silence, and no one dared to speak anymore.

"This guy looks rough, but he has some eyesight." Dong Ce praised it in his heart, but scolded in a deep voice: "Shut up, give Lao Tzu back!" ”

Yelu Lihe hurriedly answered and retreated behind Dong Ce.

Dong Ce's eyes swept over these people-there were about one hundred and twenty people~ all of them were young and middle-aged men and women~ good laborers~ without the drag of the old and weak, women and children.

That's a good workforce plus a lot of soldiers!

His heart suddenly moved: "Maybe...... It's a great choice! ”

He took two steps forward, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You were burned down by horse thieves and killed your relatives?" Ran out of food savings? ”

All the people looked at each other in a panic, and nodded their heads one after another, Dong Ce's words hit their sore spots, I don't know who was the first to cry, many people cried, and later, it had become a howling cry. The people fell to their knees and wailed, and they were so sad that it was dark.

The cry shook the sky, but Dong Ce didn't stop it, just looked at it lightly.

After a while, he glanced at Yelu Lihe, who understood, nodded slightly, stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Shut up!" What is the mourning of howling? Listen to the old man's lecture! ”

Everyone was very afraid of this fierce-looking man, and their cries suddenly lowered a lot.

After Yelu Lihe finished playing the wicked, Dong Ce went up and said loudly: "Even if I let you go home, what can I do?" The family has burned down, the food is gone, and the parents are gone, is it possible to guard that piece of white land and freeze to starve to death? It's just that you won't be able to survive this winter! ”

When everyone heard this, they thought about it carefully, and they couldn't help but feel even more sad and full of despair.

Dong Ce sighed, and his face couldn't bear it: "This official can't bear such a tragic situation, so don't worry!" You will stay here, and the official will provide you with food and drink first, and you will not be allowed to starve to death after all! ”

The crowd is completely stupid!

"Don't die? Don't have to go hungry anymore? ”

"Lord Dong wants to take care of our eating and drinking?"

……

This great sense of happiness, which went from being full of despair to being full of hope, blinded them instantly, and it took a while for them to react. Those who could move knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Dong Ce, and those who couldn't move also loudly expressed their gratitude to Dong Ce.

"The Great Old Man Marquis Wandai!"

"We must enshrine your tablet at home, kowtow every day and pray for blessings, don't dare or forget!"

Looking at the people who knelt on the ground and were moved, Dong Ce smiled warmly, and his eyebrows and eyes were like immortals.

―――――――――― dividing line――――――――

Shilipu East was busy at this time.

Many people traveled back and forth between the wall of the east gate and the woods by the river, and whenever they returned, they carried a few logs on their shoulders or by hand.

And under the city wall, there have been several shacks, all of which are very shoddy and simple, almost all of them are a few wooden sticks, and weeds are put on top to block the sun.

This shack area was built on the right side of the East Gate gate, and the shack area is still expanding.

Dong Ce, who had no homeless young men and women, took over, but there was no spare house for them to live in, so they had to settle outside Shilipu. Although I don't know how long I will live here, the hard-working and hard-working nature of the Chinese people still let them cut wood and cut grass, and built this small world of their own.

In the center of the shack area, the firewood is burning vigorously, the flames are rising, and a large iron pot on top of it is bubbling, and bursts of tempting aroma emanate from it. Zhou Zhongzheng commanded a few people to add firewood to the fire, and several large pockets next to him were opened, and inside were yellow, orange and orange corn.

When they saw the food, their hearts immediately settled down.

They also know that this decisive but kind-hearted and compassionate Lord Dong is really true to his word, saying that he will never break his word to feed everyone.

From the time they were taken captive to the present, they had to have a day and a night when the water and rice had not entered, and they were so hungry that their eyes were blue, but they finally maintained order, did not rob, and lined up in a neat line, waiting for Zhou Bo to distribute it.

Uncle Zhou stirred it in the pot with a big spoon and said, "It's done!" Come! ”

The man at the front of the queue hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out the large coarse porcelain bowl in his hand, Zhou Zhong added a large bowl full of yellow, orange and orange rice to his bowl, and shouted loudly: "Next!" ”

"Thank you, Master." The man first thanked Zhou Bo, then knelt down on the city wall, kowtowed respectfully three times, and shouted with a crying voice: "Master Dong Hou Wandai!" ”

And so it was with everyone who received the meal after that.

Dong Ce stood on the city wall and let out a long breath.

Shi Jin Wang Yu is checking the loot seizure, this is a meticulous job, and it seems that it will not be finished for the time being. The bodies have all been sorted, and the corpses of those horse thieves have been dug directly into a big pit and buried together. The corpses of the Shilipu military households who died in the battle were to be claimed by their respective families, and now about 100 people are gathered at the city gate, guarding the corpses of their men and crying to the sky.

When Dong Ce heard this, he couldn't help but feel compassion in his heart.

It's just that he can't do more, in general, these military families died to defend against horse thieves, but to sacrifice their lives for the country, and they must be compensated by the imperial court for their families, rewarded for their military exploits, arranged sacrifices, and eaten blood for hundreds of generations, which is really not something that he can interfere with as a general. To put it mildly, Dong Ce didn't have that much money, and he didn't want to pay so much money to support them.

To put it more coldly, when they died here, for Dong Ce, their use value had already disappeared.

The cattle had been taken by Wang Hun to Anxiangdun, and the people who had been plundered were already under the city, and they were more or less settled. Finally, everything was arranged, and Dong Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and he was finally able to rest.

It was the first time he had commanded and personally won a slightly larger battle, and he had never thought that there were so many things behind a war, and after the battle. There's so much more to be done. Dong Ce deeply felt the shortage of manpower at hand, and a limited number of people had something to do, so that he had to do everything himself.

Glancing at the families of the war dead who were crying and grabbing the ground, he finally sighed, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Perhaps, the biggest difference between myself and those corrupt officials and officers who drank the blood of soldiers in this era is that their conscience has not been completely extinguished!

"Yelu Lihe, he ordered to go down and take out some silver from this seizure, and the military households killed in the battle were divided into five pieces of silver, three hundred great pieces of silver, and six buckets of grain and three hews of grain. The wounded are halved. ”

"Yes!" Yelu replied, a flash of disapproval flashed in his eyes, and he finally went to the herald with a big face.

The sound of boots chiseled, and the fine cowhide high boots creaked on the dilapidated streets, and Dong Ce left only Yeluli and a guard by his side, and walked towards his mansion.

He still hadn't removed his armor, but he had taken off his hood, revealing a handsome angular face. This time is different from the past, in the past, when they saw Dong Ce, the people of Shilipu just respectfully called Dong Erlang, and now, when they saw him coming, they all let him kneel on the side of the road, buried their heads deeply, and no one dared to look up.

When Dong Ce was far away, he dared to get up, and he also walked close to the side of the street, just talking, but he whispered timidly, and he didn't dare to raise his voice.

The door of the Dong Mansion was closed, Su Dacheng was wearing red satin copper nails and copper leaf armor, his hand was pressed on the long iron knife at his waist, and he seemed to be standing at the door with a door god, majestically scanning the passers-by around him. It is impossible for people to be immersed in pain, and it seems that he has recovered a lot, and his spirit is much better.

The crack in the door opened slightly, and several pairs of eyes gurgled and turned, looking out vigorously.

The eldest girl and the second girl squeezed through the crack of the door and looked out, the two huge fat bodies were blocked tightly, the red sleeves were the identity of the hostess after all, it was not good to be so rude, and they were about to jump up in a hurry there, just a strong inquiry: "What's wrong?" Are you here? ”
