Chapter 102 0099 [No wonder people can be county magistrate]

"The village chief is back!"

After a long distance, they heard a burst of surprise cheers from the wall of the village.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of the village opened slowly.

The smoky black burn marks on the gate of the village are still exuding a faint smell of tar.

Han Zhen rode his horse into the stronghold, followed by the soldiers behind him escorting the prisoners of war.

When the soldiers on the wall saw the piles of copper coins and silk cloth on more than 20 ox carts, they cheered again.

Yu Jun exclaimed again and again: "Hiss! With so much money, one hundred thousand guan?"

Hearing this, a veteran sneered and said, "A fart of [-] guan, the sky is only [-] to [-] guan."

"How do you know?"

Yu Jun said in surprise.

The old soldier had a look on his face and boasted: "I have fought with the village chief several times, and I have seen many more than this one. One ox cart can hold more than 1000 rams. These 20 or so ox carts are worth [-] to [-] rams."

"It turned out to be like this, gaining knowledge."

Hearing Yu Jun's compliment, the veteran was even more proud, and continued to show off: "The village chief is the most generous person, and he never plays tricks with us. Just wait and see, it's time to give out rewards at night."

As soon as he heard that the reward money was going to be distributed in the evening, Yu Jun suddenly regained his spirits and asked, "How much reward can I get for beheading four levels?"

"Remember, beheading is the first level reward for four pens, and you can get sixteen pens."

"Sixteen strokes, how much land?"

Yu Jun gasped.

"Look at your worthless appearance."

The veteran sneered.

These recruits really have never seen the world.

……

More than 500 prisoners of war, plus the [-] captured last night, even exceeded the total number of villagers in Xiaowang Village.

Originally in Han Zhen's plan, it was expected that the population of Xiaowang Village would exceed [-] within a year.

This has been achieved in less than a month.

Sure enough, war is the fastest way to obtain resources.

The nomads in the north have tasted the sweetness of war very early. They are short of money, food and women, what should they do?
Go south and grab it!

Even though the Liao Kingdom has been in peace for a long time and is deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, the army still maintains a nomadic atmosphere.

Take Dacaogu as an example. The imperial court only provided a small amount of military rations, and soldiers had to bring their own knives and arrows, horses and dry rations.

It is equivalent to a business stock system. Every soldier is a shareholder, and if he wants to make money, he must fight the enemy bravely.

If you win, you will be popular, drink hot, and have women, but if you lose, you will lose your fortune.

In this case, the Liao army's combat power is naturally tyrannical.

……

Nearly 3000 prisoners of war squatted densely in the barracks.

From last night until now, these people have not had a drop of water, they are hungry and thirsty, and at the same time they are extremely disturbed, not knowing what fate awaits them.

Surrounded by Nie Dong and others, Han Zhen stepped into the barracks.

These prisoners of war need to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise, if it is delayed for a long time, something may happen.

Han Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, and after looking around, he slowly said, "You guys are rebels, and I have killed officials before."

Wow?
The prisoners of war raised their heads one after another, all of them looked surprised.

They didn't expect Han Zhen's opening remarks, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be true.

They were rebels, but this Han Er was not clean. He rushed into the county government office in broad daylight and killed Master Xu in public.

For a while, there was a sense of intimacy.

Seeing that the distance was successfully shortened, Han Zhen struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "They are all hard-working people. If they really can't survive, who would want to be a traitor, right?"

These words resonated with the prisoners of war, like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples in circles.

Among the crowd, a prisoner of war couldn't help saying loudly: "Han Erlang's words are reasonable, if he couldn't survive, who would be a traitor?"

"That's right, I didn't intend to rebel, but I was forced to die by those corrupt officials."

"Originally, it was agreed that each person would have six pennies per person, and I would sell some fields, and I could survive by gritting my teeth. But after a few days, it was said that the per capita income would be doubled, and I would not be able to live on left and right. It would be better to do the opposite."

"..."

Han Zhen didn't stop him, and let the prisoners of war vent their grievances.

Nie Dong stood aside with a strange look on his face. He recognized the first prisoner who spoke just now, and he was clearly one of his soldiers.

I don't know when, disguised as a prisoner of war, and became a babysitter!
It's just that this guy's performance is really bad. These prisoners of war have been hungry for a day and a night, and they have been exposed to the scorching sun.

Fortunately, these prisoners of war were so stupid that no one noticed.

Glancing at Han Zhen's back, Nie Dong couldn't help sighing in his heart.

No wonder he can be the county magistrate, but he is just a deserter.

Really good means.

After a while, waiting for the prisoners to vent enough, Han Zhen pressed his hands and shouted: "Quiet!"

Soon, the chattering noise in the crowd gradually subsided.

Han Zhen said in a loud voice: "I'm also a hard-working person, and I didn't intend to make it difficult for you. From now on, you will stay in Xiaowang Village to work. With me, Han Zhen, there will always be a bite to eat, and you will not be hungry. The government's exorbitant taxes will not be collected from you, and I will bear it together."

Take care of meals, but no wages for the time being.

These people are all traitors. They are already alive and have a bite to eat. They are already grateful.

As for wages, they will be released gradually in the future.

Tuo'er, who was among the prisoners of war, immediately shouted: "Han Erlang is righteous!"

"Han Erlang is righteous!"

Nearly [-] prisoners of war shouted in unison.

Just now, Han Zhen's heart-to-heart words, together with Tuo'er's cooperation, successfully made these prisoners of war regard him as one of their own.

A smile flashed in Han Zhen's eyes, and he said loudly: "Tonight, I wronged you to spend the night in the barracks, and I will build a residence for you tomorrow. Everyone sit down first, and I will serve you dinner later."

These prisoners of war had been hungry all day, and when they heard that there would be food to eat, they immediately sat on the ground obediently, looking forward to it.

There were nearly [-] people, and the cooks and a few helpers in the army could not handle it. Han Zhen ordered people to Xiaowang Village to call some villagers to help.

Smelling the fragrance of rice porridge, the prisoners of war suddenly became restless.

Seeing this, Han Zhen roared: "Don't worry, everyone has it, come in batches."

There are too many people, and there are not enough bowls. Even if you chop bamboo tubes to make bowls temporarily, you can only make up more than 300 bowls, and you can only eat them in batches.

It is wishful thinking to expect discipline from these people.

Han Zhen successfully frightened them with his horse, and then ordered the soldiers to divide the prisoners into eight groups.

One bowl per person, and change to another batch immediately after eating.

Dinner is wild vegetable porridge, which is not particularly thick, but thicker than what they usually eat at home.

The prisoners who received the porridge gathered together in twos and threes, and started to eat in a hurry.

A prisoner of war finished eating rice porridge, smashed his mouth, and said, "This Han Erlang is talking about his credibility. He said he would give us a bite of food, and he really gave it."

"I'm not full, it would be great if I could have another bowl."

"You fucking want to be full, just dream."

"That's right, Han Erlang is being righteous. This wild vegetable porridge is thicker than what I eat at home."

It is a luxury for today's poor people to eat enough.

Even in a good year, with wild vegetables and fruits on weekdays, you can only eat half full.

If the year is not good, if you encounter drought and flood, you can have a bite of food to eat, and you will not starve to death, it is God's blessing.

After working for nearly two hours, it was not until the second quarter of Xuzheng that all the prisoners of war finally finished eating.

After eating a bowl of porridge with wild vegetables, I have some stock in my stomach, so it is finally not as uncomfortable as before.

After eating, the prisoners of war who had been up for a whole day felt sleepy one by one, and simply lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

The soldiers also stayed up all day and night, but they were not sleepy at all at the moment, but extremely excited.

Just because of the bounty!

Han Zhen stood outside the warehouse, holding a list of military merits in his hands, and two village clerks were carrying a large scale.

The military exploits have been counted this morning, and the ear-cutting is credited for meritorious service. In addition to mutual monitoring, it cannot be faked.

Every time a person was read, the two clerks began to weigh money with large scales.

Yu Jun stood in the crowd, looking forward to it.

I don't know how long I waited, and finally heard Han Zhen read: "Yu Jun, beheaded four levels, and rewarded with sixteen pieces of money!"

"Whoa!"

After the two scribes weighed it, they poured the copper coins into a basket.

"Thank you, village chief."

Yu Jun's hands were shaking as he dragged the basket.

Sixteen!

It's only been a few days since I joined the army. If I was farming, how long would it take to save so much money?
An hour later, the reward money was distributed.

Most of them are like Nie Dong, beheaded plus Xiandeng plus position rewards, there are fifty or sixty guan.

There are as few as ten or so.

Seeing the soldiers gnawing and dragging hundreds of catties of copper coins, Han Zhen couldn't help frowning slightly.

Copper coins are really inconvenient. Twenty pennies weigh more than 100 catties, and a big basket is full. It is not easy to store, and it is also laborious to move.

He had some vague ideas in his mind, but for the time being, he couldn't find the truth.

After receiving the bounty, the soldiers were elated and whispered to each other and began to figure out how to spend it.

"Nie Dong!"

"The end is here."

Hearing Han Zhen's call, Nie Dong hurriedly responded with cupped fists.

Han Zhen pondered and said: "I plan to expand the army. Tomorrow, I will select [-] young men from those prisoners of war to fill the army."

Military expansion?

Nie Dong hesitated, "Is this... a bit more urgent?"

Han Zhen explained: "There is no way, these farmers are not all coerced, and a small part of them have blood on their hands and have died. Letting them work is always a hidden danger."

For example, the group of young men who attacked the county government last night were obviously different from other uprising peasants.

After these people have experienced the thrill of burning, killing and looting, their hearts are already wild.

Now that he is afraid of Han Zhen, he may be honest for a while, and after a long time, maybe something will happen.

Therefore, the best way is to charge into the army.

At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of military expansion, some veterans with outstanding military achievements will be promoted to team leaders and capital leaders.

After all, things like promotion can't always be a slogan, and the soldiers have to feel it substantively.

Nie Dong pondered for a moment, and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said: "The county magistrate is very thoughtful, it's because a certain family didn't think carefully."

Ok?
Han Zhen raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, why did he start flattering?
But he didn't care, and told him: "You work harder, and keep an eye on it tonight. If these prisoners of war make trouble, don't be lenient."

Nie Dong assured: "The county magistrate is relieved, it's from a certain province."

After explaining the matter, Han Zhen rode his horse back to Xiaowang Village.

In the front yard, Father Yang and the others were still awake, sitting in the yard holding a fan to cool off.

"Erro is back?"

"Well, are you still used to living with uncle and aunt?"

"Haha, I'm not used to it. Thanks to Erlang, we also lived in a house with blue bricks and red tiles."

Smiling and exchanging pleasantries with them, Han Zhen walked through the vertical flower gate and came to the second courtyard.

In the hall, oil lamps emitted a dim light.

Han Zhang and An Niang are sitting around the table doing homework.

The homework was assigned by Han Zhen before, and it was just some simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. According to their progress, they would do one every day.

Han Zhenben thought that among them, An Niang should learn the fastest.After all, An Niang herself has a quicker mind and has done business before, so she has some foundation in arithmetic.

In the end, it was Jiang Siniang who learned the fastest.

In just a few days, a pair of abacus has already been played in style.

Even the scribes in charge of teaching often praised Han Zhen in front of him.

Si Niang is not as lively as Fang Sansan, but a little dull, she has no sense of presence on weekdays, every time Han Zhen sees her, he is either doing something dull or staring at the sky in a daze.

In the future, she can be trained well, maybe she can be a female accountant.

In contrast, Han and Zhang's progress was slower, and they are still reciting Jiujiu songs.

Hearing footsteps, Fang Sansan turned his head to look.

Seeing that it was Han Zhen, she immediately put down the brush and said pleasantly, "Ah, Ah Lang is back!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Han Zhang and An Niang hurriedly looked up.

Seeing that Han Zhen was safe and sound, a smile appeared in the eyes of the two of them.

After nodding with them with a smile, Han Zhen asked, "How is your homework going?"

"..."

Fang Sansan's smile faltered, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Han Zhen sneered, stepped into the main hall, and took a look at the table.

Well, I did a lot of questions, but unfortunately I didn't get one question right.

Looking at Jiang Siniang's homework again, she has finished all of them, and they are all correct.

Fang Sansan had a bitter face, and blamed himself: "Ah Lang, I'm too stupid, I can't learn it no matter what."

Han Zhen couldn't be too harsh on her appearance, the two little maids were originally brought here to help.

Han Zhen said calmly: "On weekdays, ask Si Niang for advice. Don't just care about the naughty children, and don't want you to be admitted to the Jinshi. It's always good to know some words. At least when doing business, you won't make mistakes in your calculations?"

"I saved it."

Fang Sansan nodded solemnly.

Han Zhen said with satisfaction: "It's good that you know."

Seeing that his eyes were bloodshot, An Niang said concernedly: "Erlang don't want to be exhausted, wash up and rest."

Hearing this, Han Zhang on the side pursed his lips, feeling a little sour in his heart.

In the past, she should have said these things to her uncle.

Now it was snatched away by others.

Sensing Han Zhang's abnormality, Han Zhen asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"Maybe I'm a little tired."

Han Zhang said softly.

Han Zhen didn't think too much, and warned: "Don't be too late, it's not good for your eyes."

　Fuck, I thought about Xiaomi for a while after coding in the afternoon, but I opened my eyes, and it was 7:[-].
