If you rob us, it will be equivalent to robbing Black Water Pass. You should know the consequences, right? The woman continued: It's better than this. We are all destined to meet each other. A man who stands in this world must first protect the people. Jiaweiguo, if you follow us and join the army, we can talk to General Yang and give you a chance to make contributions.

The fifty bandits looked at each other, and then the forty-nine looked at Dahu.

The woman smiled again and said: It is naturally very dangerous to surrender to the army, so you can also choose to join our Ling Family Trading Company as a guard. It is also a righteous man.

Everyone at Iron Sword Gate looked at her.

The woman smiled and continued: If you think this is too hard, why not follow us to Hedong Road. We have a lot of wasteland there. You are all strong and strong men. You can cultivate dozens of acres of fertile land. , it is not difficult to support a family, marry a wife and have children. What do you think?

Fifty bandits were stunned.

No one spoke for a long while.

The woman sighed and said: Hey, I understand. It's too dangerous to join the army, it's too hard to be a guard, and you have to be restrained to be a farmer. It's better to be a bandit. Find some soft bullies, and the money will come quickly. , you can still do whatever you want.

The forty-nine bandits nodded. Sanhu's face was indeed dark and he took a step back.

But for your own good, I still hope you will accept my proposal, the woman said with a smile: If you don't accept my proposal, I'm afraid you will all lose your life today. Everyone is seeking money, life is precious, and it is so difficult to lose it. , it’s really such a pity. I’ll give you some time to think it over.”

Dahu was a little at a loss. Although he didn't have a bright head, he also knew that something was wrong now. Not to mention the people from the Iron Sword Sect around him who were eyeing him. The most important thing was that he found that he couldn't move. He tried to take advantage of the woman several times. When he was talking, he cut the knife over. Who talked nonsense with you during the robbery, but it was like there was a wall in front of him blocking him, and he couldn't move any more.

I am willing to join the army. Sanhu shouted.

Lao San, what are you doing? Erhu asked hurriedly beside him.

This girl is right. It is indeed disgraceful for us men to do this kind of thing instead of defending our country. But girls, we are not bandits from the beginning, but we just can't live anymore. We just came here to beg for food, but if there was a way out, we wouldn't be in this situation. Sanhu threw away the knife and said loudly.

Dahu was stunned, but he nodded and said: We just want to find a place to eat. I, I will open up wasteland. Although it is said that being a bandit is not hard, tiring, and has no constraints, they are not that kind of ruthless bandits. After all, he is still a good citizen, and he just needs a stable place.

As soon as these two people opened their mouths, the others started talking and threw their weapons on the ground. In this way, there were ten people willing to join the army and forty people to open up wasteland. Some of them wanted to be guards, but were rejected. Those from the Iron Sword Gate stared at them and went back to clearing up wasteland.

After the matter was settled, Han Zong came over to take the laborers away first. It happened that the carriage broke down and the porter was missing.

Ling Qingyu got on the carriage honestly now, and seeing Yan San still looking at him with disapproval, he unconsciously said: Don't be angry, I really think they are not that kind of bad people, if they are really bad people, I will not stand in your way. , I must hide behind you. The clothes were so shabby, and it looked like they hadn't eaten for a long time. Although they were holding knives, they were stained with rust, and those people didn't really have the ruthlessness to kill people.

Yan San saw her lying on the bed in the car, put a thin quilt on her, and said: You just need to know that if something happens to you, don't talk about me, Yan Qiying, Two Shadows, Nine Shadows, Ten Shadows, Thirteen, they are all You can't live without doing anything. Although it is indeed like what she said, although this group of people have skills, they are not the kind of treacherous and evil people. Otherwise, they would not say anything and just kill people directly. Moreover, he just used his internal power to stop it. The big tiger's offensive was also because he had no intention of killing, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be unable to cut him down with his power.

I know, I'll pay attention next time. Ling Qingyu shrank into the quilt and said. In fact, facing the big knife, although it was rusty, it was still a knife, and it was still a bit stressful. But she dared to do that because she knew that if something went wrong, this man would definitely stand in front of her. No Protect her with fear of life and death.

But, am I too proud of my favor? Ling Qingyu began to reflect on himself, well, it’s better not to be so bold in the future. After all, Dazhou is different from those places in the extra story. Every mountain is higher than the other! Hiding dragons and crouching tigers, I am just a weakling. If something happens, I don't have to rely on Yan San and the others. If I meet a powerful person, wouldn't I have killed Qing's life in vain?

What are you thinking about? Looking at her expression, he knew that her head was wandering around somewhere, so Yan San made a cup of hot water for her and asked.

I'm thinking that cash is king and keeping a low profile is the best. Ling Yu got up and took the water, saying seriously.

After leaving the Taihang Mountains, there are plains all the way, and the land is completely white.

Hedong Road is mostly mountainous, and the plains are concentrated between these two mountains. Seeing a lot of deserted land on both sides, Ling Qingyu asked Han Zong who was sitting in her car drinking tea: Brother Han, I see a lot of deserted land on both sides. I don't know. Why?

There were disasters a few years ago, and many people fled to other places. Now there are many wars, and they dare not come back. The fields here are a lot barren, but it is still better than Shaanxi Road. After a sip of tea, Han Zong said.

That's it. Nodding, Ling Qingyu turned to look at the scenery outside.

Master, most of the land that Han purchased here comes from official villages, but the imperial court actually has a reclamation order. If the wasteland is reclaimed, it can become Yongye Field. Have you ever thought about recruiting people to come and reclaim the wasteland? Han Ye asked. After seeing her fooling the bandits, this idea became more and more certain. The seeds Ling Qingyu brought back this time are very suitable for the land conditions here. Shaanxi Road is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren. Hedong Road has many mountains and little rain. If it is to grow wheat, Both rice fields and rice fields have problems in terms of yield. A family of five has to cultivate fifteen acres of land to make a living. And if according to what the leader said, the yield per mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes can reach over one thousand catties or even two thousand catties, then...

Well, I've thought about this too. Brother Han, look at this. We export grain, farm tools, and seeds. One-third of the reclaimed wasteland belongs to them and two-thirds belongs to us. In this way, we recruit manpower. Can you find it? Ling Qingyu asked. When he came back this time, he not only brought back a large amount of armaments, but also many farm tools. Those farm tools made of fine steel are not available in Dazhou, but they are very suitable for land reclamation.

Of course I can. Han Zong nodded. In the early days of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was a man of great talent and strategy, but unfortunately he died early. His son was raised by the women in the harem. The following generations only knew how to be content with the status quo. The Zhou Dynasty benefited from some of the systems initially established by Zhou Shizong. Agriculture and commerce were given strong support to develop, and the population also increased sharply. However, over the years, land annexation has become severe, and famines have continued, and more and more farmers have been lost. Although the court has insightful people, it has repeatedly They advocate the reclamation of wasteland, but those poor people have no surplus property and no food to eat, so how can they afford to open up wasteland far away from their hometowns! The boss said that providing rations, seeds and farming tools would solve their fundamental problem. I am afraid that once recruitment starts, there will be too many people.

This is a big project. Brother Han, do you have enough manpower?

Well, we are a little short of manpower. We may need to borrow a few people from Brother Cai to use them. Although I already have some people in charge, I can't move them now.

Alas, Ling Yu sighed inwardly. It was a pity that Zhu Weili could not come back. She went to find out the news. Although so many years have passed since the King of Chu incident, the reward order for the three of them has not been revoked. It is estimated that these three people must have been He built a mint for the King of Chu, so he is still being pursued. She set off for Huai'an, and Ding Dong drove the Fengshen back to Quanzhou. After staying in Quanzhou for a while, he would visit Korea and Japan. Ling Yu asked him to import sulfur from Japan and send it to Lingjia Village to start researching gunpowder.

Han Zong looked at her thoughtful expression and looked at Yan San unconsciously. She had been too quiet these days. She liked novelty people so much, but she actually stayed in the carriage honestly and just followed her when passing through the city. It is really unimaginable that a large group of troops eat without violating the rules at all.

Brother Han, how about you marry Su Ce's sister? Ling Qingyu's sudden words made Han Xie almost spit out the tea.

Ahem, what about Su Ce's sister? Han Zhi came to his senses and said, Ah, you are talking about Miss Su, the head of the family is joking. The Su family is a scholarly family and the mainstay of the elite, how could they marry their daughter to me? Such people.

How about you go and get the first prize? Ling Qingyu came closer to him and said with a smile.

Well, although there is no problem for Han to get the top score in the examination, as the head of the family, do you really want Han to go back to study? Han Xue said with a smile.

Yes. Ling Qingyu shrank back again, who would do such a mess?

Head of the family, Han has no ambition to pursue an official career. Han Xing said slowly as he looked at the vast and desolate wilderness outside.

Is Taiyuan just ahead? Ling Qingyu asked, looking at the city appearing in the distance.

Yes, the master wants to go in for a walk? Han Ye looked out the window, and when it was almost time to eat, he was about to get out of the car and tell him to stop and start eating, and looked back and asked.

No, just go around.

Han Xuan nodded with a smile and got out of the car. The food team was too large, and the most important thing was that it also contained a lot of armaments. Although he had customs clearance documents, it was better to cause as little trouble as possible.

Let's go back and play when the things are delivered. Yan San put away Han Xin's tea cup and said.

Don't worry, I want to visit the mountains here first. Spring will start soon, so I need to plant all the seeds I brought. Ling Qingyu leaned on the cushion and brought back a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn from America. Some of the seeds were left in Lingjiacun and Hangzhou, and the rest were brought here. If conditions are good, they will be effective this year.
