Chapter 20 Returning with a full load

"Brother Chen Hu, tell me why the adults haven't come back yet." Li Yi, who was standing outside the village with a sad face, said anxiously, "This is already the third day."
"Li Yi, are you sure that I have wiped out all the bandits?" Chen Hu looked at Li Yi and asked.
"You can't be wrong. Mr. Qin Hao personally went into battle and beheaded Blind Liu, the bandit leader. The other bandits were also killed by his soldiers." Li Yi said with certainty.
He was present at that time and killed a bandit. How could he be wrong?
"Then wait a little longer. Maybe you have something to deal with on the mountain."
Chen Hu did not dare or did not want to imagine that Qin Hao and others had unexpected consequences on the mountain, so he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that they could come back safely.
The two of them just stood under the red cypress tree at the end of the village, looking towards the dense forest in the mountains.
"Brother Chen Hu, look what that is."
Suddenly Li Yi pointed toward the mountain in the distance. Chen Hu looked along and saw many figures walking down the mountain.
"It's my lord, they are back." Chen Hu's sharp eyes had already seen the armor of the leading Nord guard in front. After saying this, he felt relieved.
The two of them bypassed the team and came to Qin Hao's side, saying in unison: "My lord, Wan'an."
"Thank you for your hard work these days." Qin Hao told them about the past few days on the mountain while walking, and introduced Zhuge Xuan to the two of them.
Knowing that Zhuge Xuan was Qin Hao's cousin, the two of them treated him respectfully and did not dare to make excuses.
Zhuge Xuan was also generous. He explained the family's laws to them on the way into the village, and officially accepted them both.
"Two colleagues, please give me your advice in the future." When he reached the end of the village, Zhuge Xuan saluted.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. In honor of His Highness's great kindness, Lord Zhuge is in great numbers. He must ride on the front and back of the horse and perform his duties loyally." Chen Hu returned the courtesy.
"Okay, don't ask for help here."
Qin Hao interrupted them and looked at the hundreds of people following him. He didn't know how to settle down after bringing them down today, but there was no time to waste.
Then he said to Chen Hu: "Chen Hu and Li Yi, you two should go to the village quickly and let the villagers cook rice. Give them a good reward."
This time, Qin Hao brought down most of the food left on the mountain to support the remaining people.
Seeing the people placing their grain bags one by one in front of the village, and soon pushing up the hills, many people in the village came to take a look, and they were very happy.
Looking at so much food, they all figured out that even if they ate until they were full every day, they would still have to eat it for two or three years.
But Qin Hao did not relax and counted the food and grass that Li Guo presented last night.
In total, there are only more than 200,000 kilograms of grain, which can probably support more than 2,000 people for three months.
For the next recruitment of refugees and planting seeds, it can only be said that there is a slight surplus, but it is not yet completely assured. If you don’t have extra income during this period, you still need to live frugally.
"Your Highness, there are some people you should meet." Zhuge Xuan ran to Qin Hao to remind him.
"Who?" Qin Hao was a little confused. Could it be that some big shot was here.
Zhu Ge .
"Where is he now?" Qin Hao asked.
"I'm just waiting in front." Zhuge Xuan responded.
"Call them."
Qin Hao waved his hand. He was a little surprised that they could come, but to meet them in person, they were not qualified at the village chief level.
After receiving the order, Zhuge Xuan asked a dead man from Shuntian to recruit people, and reminded Qin Hao of his dress.
Qin Hao was also helpless. Until now, he did not have any formal clothes. He was either wearing casual clothes or wearing iron armor. It was extremely inconvenient to receive guests.
It's not a formal occasion now, just make do, but I also have the intention of developing the textile industry in my heart.
After a while, only four or five people were seen walking from the village. They were all strong and in their 30s. They were the village chiefs of the nearby villages.
Seeing Qin Hao, several people looked surprised and began to doubt Qin Hao's identity. However, seeing that the soldiers were respectful to him, they gave up their thoughts a little.
They bowed in unison and said, "Greetings, sir."
"You're welcome."
Qin Hao waved his hand and said, "No need to be formal.
This place is shabby and there is no place to entertain you. "
Several people were also honest people, so they sat on the ground with Qin Hao.
They came here not just for a casual look, but with a purpose.
"I wonder what you are doing here today?" After being polite, Qin Hao went straight to the topic.
"Sir, a few commoners heard that there were soldiers here to exterminate them, so they came here with admiration." One of them said.
"Oh, after all the experience, how about it?" Qin Hao called the soldiers to line up, let a few people take a look, then smiled and asked.
"The man of tiger and wolf"
"Elite Teacher"
Several people replied that they had all taken a closer look just now. Their military appearance was neat, their swords were sharp, and they were well aware of the outcome of the bandit.
I just don't know what the young general in front of me is planning, so I came here to find out the news.
"Now that you have seen such a military appearance, you must know that my intentions are not small." Qin Hao said it bluntly.
After hearing this, several people felt surprised, happy, sad and sighing.
What you like: This general is outspoken and easy to deal with; the generals have a graceful appearance and are well equipped, so they can maintain peace.
The sad thing: I am afraid that he will be greedy and tax too much, and in the end he will be even more miserable than when the bandit was there.
Looking at the colorful expressions of several people, Qin Hao also sighed in his heart. In these troubled times, the one with the best weapons is the king, and the weak only have the position of being dominated and have no choice.
Then Zhuge Xuan and a few others were asked to talk about the future plans of each village.
"Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you." Zhuge Xuan saluted and began to talk to several people.
“First, our Highness must bring the people of all nearby villages under his rule and confirm his dominance.
Second, His Highness will send troops to protect each village and community from bandits. Of course, all the people under his rule must also pay taxes and obey the conscription in return.
Of course, you can rest assured that the agricultural tax will not be too heavy. If the labor is paid, the people who are recruited will not be allowed to work in vain without pay.
As for this third point?”
Speaking of this, Zhuge Xuan paused and looked at the village chiefs meaningfully.
"My lord, please continue."
They were already impressed by the two conditions mentioned by Zhuge Xuan, and they basically knew that what Qin Hao and the others wanted to do was to establish a government here to manage the people.
Those who can leave their homeland and work hard here are not pedantic people, and they have made plans in their hearts in the past few days. As long as the conditions are not harsh, they will all agree.
"Look at the mountain people that His Highness has brought down from the mountain. The third point is that the people of several villages will live with these mountain people, and His Highness will arrange the designated land for relocation."
"Is this third point inappropriate?" One of them frowned immediately after hearing this. They also saw that Qin Hao wanted to break up and reorganize the people in their village.
Although there were not many people in his village, he had tasted the power after all, and it was hard to make a choice for a while.
"This third point must be implemented." Seeing some people questioning it, Qin Hao didn't talk to them, stood up and decided, and walked away.
"My lord, my lord." The man thought that his just reply had angered Qin Hao, and he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
He hurriedly got up and chased after him, but was stopped by Zhuge Xuan, who said: "Don't be impatient for a moment. Sir, you still have something to do. I hope you will bear with me."
"I wonder what you think of my arrangement?" Zhuge Xuan looked at them with a smile, but he knew in his heart that they could not refuse, and then released the bait.
"Of course we won't be relocating selectively at the moment. We'll talk about it later. As for the cost of relocating, we should bear it, and the selection of the village chief will be left to you temporarily."
This condition is absolutely beneficial to them, and there is no reason to disagree. And they don't have the ability to refuse, there is only one way to choose.
As expected, everyone was not stupid. After hearing such conditions, several people nodded in agreement.
"In this case, I will send you a few letters to other nearby villages. The conditions are the same.
If you are literate, just sign. If you are not literate, just ask a few people to tell the story for you and just press your thumbprint. "
"I will obey your orders."
