Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

"If this is really the case, we poor people would rather not have those five taels of silver, but we would also like to leave this bitter cold place with a few good men and rebuild our homes elsewhere."

Lin Chong looked at the old man with a hopeful expression on his face, and felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Although before leaving, Zhao Ji had already given them instructions.

During this trip to the Northeast, it would be great if we could really bring back some men from the bitter cold land.

When the time comes, these brothers can lead the men who are willing to follow and build a fortress near Tokyo City.

In this way, it can be used as a temporary residence, and it can also be used to do big things when necessary.

But right now, there are too many bitter and cold people living here.

At this moment, Lin Chong was thinking and looking up.

But at this moment, they saw the people surrounding their rough mud house.

There must be at least three to four thousand young people, old people, women, children and young girls.

Not only that, there are people coming towards us in a steady stream from a distance.

But at the beginning, Mr. Zhao clearly told him that the more young men the better.

If they were brothers, they also brought back the old, weak, women and children.

Does this mean it's a disservice?

The more Lin Chong thought about it, the more entangled he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't make up his mind.

So he turned around and discussed a few words with Wu Song softly.

And when Wu Song learned about his worries from Lin Chong.

On the face, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

But not long after, Wu Song came to the old man's side:

"This old man, can I ask, how many of you want to leave here with us?"

"Such a number is very important to us."

"After all, since you have chosen to leave with us today, we brothers must be responsible for the livelihood of you people."

"This old man, how about this?"

"You guys should count the number of people here first."

"How many people like you are over fifty years old?"

"How many young and strong men are there?"

"How many women, children and children are there?"

"What is the total number added together?"

"After you have compiled all of this, tell us what you think?"

"In this way, we brothers can work out the resettlement method."

"So that all our disaster-stricken people can survive this cold winter, what do you think, father-in-law?"

After listening to Wu Song's words, the old man immediately nodded frequently.

Then he turned around and walked towards the bitter people.

Wu Song watched the old man's figure gradually disappearing into the crowd.

In my heart, I felt a lot more at ease.

Then he greeted Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong and returned to the house to have breakfast.

After a few of them had a hurried breakfast, the old man's statistics came out.

Its final personnel data is:

There are more than [-] young and middle-aged people.

There are more than [-] elderly people.

The remaining women, children, and young children totaled more than 2000 people.

After Wu Song and others heard this data, their scalps immediately felt numb.

Because the data in front of them is very different from what Mr. Zhao told them.

Those young adults were arranged in the village.

It can be used not only to defend against foreign enemies, but also to build itself.

But there are so many old, weak, women and children left, so what’s the point?

It will only increase the money and food consumption in the village.

If Mr. Zhao really wants to do something in the future.

Those old, weak, women and children are really of no use.

When Wu Song told this in a low voice to Lu Zhishen who was standing beside him.

In Lu Zhishen's heart, he felt very rare.

"But what if we suddenly reject the request of those bitter people now?"

"It seems a little unkind again."

"Moreover, it seems unrealistic for those young adults to suddenly leave their parents, wives and children."

When Mrs. Lin slowly spoke these inner words.

It also attracted repeated approval from Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and others.

In the end, Lin Chong came up with a relatively safe method:

"Brothers, please don't get entangled for now."

"How about we do this?"

"First bring all the people that the old man counted."

"Then we go to Tokyo City together."

"When we are still several miles away from Tokyo City, I will rush into the city to find Mr. Zhao and explain to him the situation here."

"Let's see how he decides."

"If he agrees to stay, then we, the people, will take over all these miserable people and make unified arrangements."

"If Mr. Zhao really cannot accept it."

"Then we can arrange these people on the spot near the capital, and give each family five taels of silver so that they can live their own lives, but it will be easy and tight."

"I don't know what the brothers mean, so what do you mean?"

Wu Song and Lu Zhishen couldn't help but nod their heads after listening to Lin Chong's words.

I also think that Coach Lin’s idea and approach are extremely appropriate.

Even so, things here have been settled.

When the poor people learned that the good men and good people standing in front of the mud houses had agreed to their request to follow them.

In my heart, I couldn't be more happy.

There are people who pay homage to them.

There are those who laugh and cry.

There are also those who cannot afford to kneel down for a long time.

Mrs. Lin, looking at the scenes in front of her, couldn't help but sigh with sadness:

"What mistake did these poor people make?"

"What's the crime?"

"It's just that I just want to live."

"That Mr. Zhao has really done a great good deed for all the people in the world."

"If in the future, Mr. Zhao can finally come to court."

"That is really a great thing for the entire Song Dynasty."

Lin Chong patted his wife's shoulder gently and whispered:

"Madam, please don't say this nonsense."

"Even if I think a lot in my heart, there are some things I can't say directly."

After Mrs. Lin nodded obediently, she stopped talking.

After nearly three hours of statistics and questioning.

The old man also gathered all the people who were walking together.

Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others looked at the miserable people with extremely longing eyes.

I couldn't help but feel that the burden on me was very heavy.

In the end, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others decided after discussing with the old man.

Give the poor people three days to clean up their house and bring their valuables.

At noon three days later, we will set off from here together.
