Dong Ce turned around and raised his chin to Zhou Zhong and Wang Yu: "Recognize the few who took the lead!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Several people responded, and they all opened their bows and arrows, and there were several screams in the crowd, and the first few people to scold fell to the ground. Some were shot to death, some missed the point, and lay there screaming loudly.

Zhou Bo couldn't bear it, but he also knew that he couldn't speak at this time, so he had to sigh and turn his head away from looking.

The crowd suddenly exploded, and the people shouted in panic.

"Shut up Lao Tzu!" Suddenly, a loud roar made them all tremble in their hearts, and they couldn't help but stop their mouths, and they all looked at the ruthless young general.

"What the official said, it naturally counts, and when he said that he wanted to feed you, he wanted to feed you, and the grain would naturally not be distributed! But ......" Dong Ce smiled coldly, and a hideous look flashed on his face: "The rules are set by Lao Tzu!" You have to remember that Lao Tzu will give it to you, and you can take it! I won't give it to you, you can't take it yourself! Got it? ”

Dong Ce pointed to the corpses: "This is the example!" ”

"That's it!" He shook his horsewhip, pointed at the homeless people, and said, "Now everyone, retreat twenty paces away from the east bank of the river, form a queue, and go forward in turn, and ascend to the ......."

He paused, and wanted to say that he could come over for dinner after registering, thinking? One? Root? Read? The novel xstxt thought about it and changed his words: "Go forward in turn, accept the selection, register the selected ones, and then you can come over for dinner!" Thick porridge and big white steamed bread cakes, full! ”

Anyway, I don't care about them, just hit the horse and turn back.

Seeing that Li Gui was still kneeling on the ground, Dong Ce scolded: "Why don't you hurry up and get up?" Prepare thick porridge, steamed bread, and some fish, ready to let these homeless people eat! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Gui hurriedly kowtowed, his heart was already full of joy.

If you ignore it, or even listen to it, it will make people desperate.

He quickly got up and went back to arrange.

After a short time, he commanded a few people to carry several large cauldrons, filled them with firewood, and soon boiled hot water, put a lot of rice in it, and added some minced fish pieces to it.

The aroma is full of escape.

And those who are homeless have half-belief in their hearts, but there are also those who believe, of course, more people have the idea that they can't do anything if they don't believe it. After all, he retreated according to Dong Ce's orders, lined up in a chaotic manner, and waited for the selection. Naturally, they were afraid, but they also knew that if they left here, it would probably be a dead word. It's better to be honest, besides, wasn't the reason why the big man killed people just now because we made a fuss?

When they saw that the cauldron had risen, most of the doubts in their hearts were gone, and hope surged in their hearts.

Perhaps, you can really eat here? No more wandering around starving, not knowing where you died?

And when the hot porridge in the cauldron boiled and the fragrance wafted over, almost everyone swallowed.

Bai Zhongqi and the white scribe moved the table and sat at the head of the bridge again, but this time it was the west end of the bridge.

As for how to choose, Dong Ce was a little undecided.

Shi Jin's proposition is that as long as the body is strong, it is best to be a single man or a young couple, and never have children. A young couple is the best for the ruler and is the one that will benefit the most. Two men and women in the prime of life can work, and they are not burdened by the elderly and children, who are not productive, so they only need food for two people, and saving more food means being able to deprive them of more food. And with the absence of the elderly and children, there is a lot less trouble.

Shi Jin can't say this truth, but that's basically what it means.

This opinion was supported by Wang Tong, Wang Yu and others.

But Zhou Bo strongly objected.

"We only recruit middle-aged men and women, so how can those old people and children live? There are no wealthy counties and towns nearby, where do they go to beg for food? Zhou Bo was so angry that his face was flushed, and he was already a little speechless: "My lord, if my subordinates say something disrespectful, if this is the case, they shouldn't be brought here, let them go to the city to beg for food, it's always a way to live!" ”

After speaking, he knew that he had said it, knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, my subordinates have lost their words." Please punish you. It's just that these people, please raise your hand......"

"Get up! It's just a matter of expressing one's own opinions, and there's nothing wrong with that. Dong Ce sighed and asked him to get up.

His gaze swept over everyone's faces.

Shi Jin, Wang Yu, and Wang Tong were obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Bo's words, but they were embarrassed to refute them in public.

Zhou Zhong looked left and right, full of embarrassment, he originally supported Shi Jin more, but seeing his brother like this, it was hard to say.

Wang Hun is irrelevant, no one supports him, for him, Dong Ce will do whatever he wants, what do you want to do?

Zhai Qingtong lowered his head there and pondered.

Li Gui was busy working on the side, Su Dacheng hurried to help him, and the two of them didn't hear it and didn't get involved in this.

In his heart, Dong Ce is more inclined to Shi Jin, after all, he wants strong laborers who can work, be soldiers, and create value, rather than the elderly and children who are burdens. These two groups are equivalent to consuming a part of their own food to feed them.

It's just that just driving these old people and children away is not a matter after all, and his heart has never been cold to that extent.

After pondering for a moment, Dong Ce said: "I have decided on this matter, and you all should stop fighting." ”

"Yes!" Everyone obeyed the order.

"Shi Jin, you go to the east end of the bridge to choose! Remember, be strong and have a burly skeleton. These homeless people have been hungry for so long, many of them are in shape, and some of them have hurt their vitality, and they will not be able to slow down even if they are raised in the future, and they may become sick ghosts. ”

"Yes!" When Shi Jin received the order, he had to pull out his feet.

Wang Tong suddenly said: "My lord, my subordinates have an idea. ”

"You say."

"The subordinates think that the favor must be returned to the adult!" Wang Daodao: "I have to let all the outcasts know that you are the one who is in charge here, and the one who can decide whether they stay in the Rock Castle or whether they can survive." I have to make them grateful to your old man, because his subordinates think that after Shi Jin, there must be a pass, and your old man will personally sit in charge, and go through the people selected by Shi Jin again to decide who can stay, even if it is a formality. ”

He turned to Shi Jin again and said with a smile: "Brother Shi, I didn't mean you. ”

Shi Jin waved his hand: "It's okay, I think this proposal is very good." ”

Everyone also agreed.

Dong Ce secretly praised Wang Tong for being delicate and good at life, nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

He suddenly gave him a high-five: "If you don't remind me, I forgot." In this way, Yelu Lihe, after you enter the stone and before me, as the second pass, sift these homeless people again. Remember, if there are elderly people over 40 years old and children under 10 years old, they are not allowed! Got it? ”

But he asked Yelu Lihe to be this wicked man, but Yelu Lihe didn't care, Dong Ce did whatever he ordered, and responded with a big grin.

Zhai Qingtong suddenly interjected: "Are all the selected people letting them take a bath in the river?" These people are scattered in many places, and I am afraid that they have epidemics on their bodies, and if they are brought in, will it not be a great disaster? Anyway, the water is not too cold, wash the lice on the body, and wash the hair too. ”

Everyone looked at her with strange eyes, and looked at her with a furious heart, thinking that they had said something wrong, and quickly explained: "If you are afraid that they will not be able to hold on, you can eat and wash again." But if this is the case, they have to wash the dishes and chopsticks they have used with boiling water. ”

Dong Ce sighed and glanced at everyone: "Look, look, how can no one think of such an important point?" After the catastrophe, there will be a great plague, if our rock fort is infected with the plague and dies, see who still has a place to live! ”

He smiled at Zhai Qingtong's encouragement: "What you said is very good, it should be like this in the future, if you have anything to say, you can say it." ”

"For rivers like the Gan River, which are formed by the melting of snow in the mountains, the coolest time is in early spring, and now it is late summer and early autumn, and the weather is getting colder, but the river is not as fast as the weather is getting colder, because the river is warmer than outside." Dong Ce said: "Don't worry about this. ”

Shi Jin said: "But if that's the case, you have to change them into new clothes, if they are still wearing those dirty clothes, the lice will not be able to catch them all, and they will soon be born on their own." ”

"That's right." Dong Ce pondered for a moment and said, "Aren't there a hundred sets of fat jackets in the library?" And don't we make a lot of clothes? ”

Li Gui and Su Dacheng had been listening to the movement here, and when they saw that they were not noisy, they also rubbed back, and when they heard this, Li Gui immediately said: "My lord, according to what was discussed before, it is to wait for the autumn plowing to be completed, and the soldiers will be given combat uniforms when they are recruited. ”

"Hurry up with power." Dong Ce waved his hand: "All the allocations will be made, and it will be a big deal to do it later." ”

In this way, it is considered to be the end of the discussion.

Shi Jin walked to the east of the bridge about ten paces away from the bridgehead, and stood there without a long time, and the homeless people couldn't help but be quiet when they looked at his tall and burly figure, and his body was covered in black and heavy iron armor. Yelu Lihe stood ten steps away from Shi Jin's right hand, with a look of ill will. Dong Ce was standing at the east bridge, and when Bai Zhongqi saw this, he quickly moved his stool for him and asked him to sit down.
