Even with good physical fitness, Jiang Hao felt a little uncomfortable in his back after sleeping on a hardwood bed for a night.

After doing a few stretches to make myself a lot more comfortable.

Jiang Hao opened the wooden door and walked out.

As soon as he went out, Jiang Hao saw a 1.7-meter-high young man with a rather strong figure standing in a small courtyard that was simply enclosed outside.

The house where Jiang Hao slept last night was a log cabin less than twenty square meters.

And the owner of the wooden house is the young man in front of him.

He is the son of an old farmer, and Jiang Hao slept in his room last night.

As for him, he was naturally crowded with the old farmer last night.

As for the old farmer's wife, she was starved to death a few years ago because of the famine.

There are only him and his son in their family now.

Chapter 77;

"Master Dao, are you awake?" Seeing Jiang Hao coming out of the room, Wang Li, who was weaving baskets, quickly got up and said respectfully.

He is just an ordinary farmer, who eats in the soil, and lives in poverty.

In fact, he is only this year, but because of the weather and bad weather, he looks the same as 28.

This is a true portrayal of most people in this era.

And the reason why Wang Li is so respectful.

It's because his father said that Jiang Hao has an extraordinary appearance, so he must be a great Taoist leader, and he must respect such a person.

"Well, where is your father?" Jiang Hao nodded and asked.

"Father...he went to borrow rice from someone." Wang Li said nervously when he heard Jiang Hao's question.

Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what old man Wang was doing.

Immediately, I felt warm in my heart, obviously I was having a hard time, but I still went to someone to borrow rice because of him. In this world, there is always no shortage of innocent, lovely and kind people.

Their innocence and kindness will not disappear because of their own suffering.

On the contrary, it will become a positive motivation for them to yearn for life.

Such a person is really cute.

"Your name is Wang Li, right?"

"Yes... yes, Daoist."

Wang Li doesn't seem to talk to people often, so when communicating with Jiang Hao, he seemed a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, come on, Wang Li, chat with me for a while."

"Ah, Taoist priest." Wang Li looked at the half-woven basket in his hand.

"It's okay, you can weave once and talk to me at the same time."

"Oh." Wang Limu nodded dumbly.

"Wang Li, do you have a dream?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Dream? Daoist, what is a dream? If I dream, I will."

"Dream means what you wish for."

"Wish, if it's a wish, then my wish is to be able to eat well and have thick clothes to wear, so that in winter, I don't have to be so cold that I can't sleep, or even die from the cold."

"Last winter, more than a dozen people in our village froze to death."

"Any other wishes?" Jiang Hao continued to ask.

A very simple wish.

But the common people in the past dynasties, their wishes are not the same, from ancient times to the present, it has never changed.

Food and clothing have always been what ordinary people want.

It is not difficult to realize their wishes, but there are always people who feel that the people at the bottom should not be able to enjoy food and clothing.

"If... If possible, I still want to marry a wife, hehe." At this point, Wang Li smirked.

Obviously thought of something happy.

But after a while, the smile on his face disappeared.

"what happened?"

"I just think about these things, I can only think about them, but I can't really get them, so I can't laugh." Wang Li lowered his head.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps on the muddy ground came from the gate of the small courtyard.

The figure of old man Wang soon appeared at the gate of the small courtyard.

When he saw Jiang Hao and Wang Li in the small courtyard, Old Man Wang froze for a moment.

Then he said, "Master Taoist, you are awake."

After finishing speaking, old man Wang still had a touch of shame on his face.

Because he went out to borrow rice, but he didn't borrow any rice.

He wasn't angry either, after all, life was hard for everyone these days.

This year's harvest is not good, and this year, many people will probably go hungry again.

"I was disturbed last night."

"Don't bother, don't bother, it's just... I just thought that the Taoist priest will leave today, so that the Taoist priest can eat something with us before leaving. Unfortunately, the old man went out to borrow rice, but he didn't borrow any rice."

"People in the village have a hard time." Old man Wang said helplessly.

When he spoke, his tone was full of sadness.

For ordinary people in this era, it is really difficult to survive.

The current situation is chaotic, maybe there will be a man-made disaster at any time.

Once God rewards food for food and the harvest is small, the family will starve to death.

Every year.

"It's okay, old man Wang, how many people are there in your Wangjiacun?" Jiang Hao didn't care that old man Wang didn't borrow rice.

As the old man Wang said, everyone's life is difficult, and it is normal to not be able to borrow rice.

But he accepted the other party's wishes.

Old man Wang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Jiang Hao to ask him this suddenly.

"There are about a hundred people in the village." Old man Wang said uncertainly.

On weekdays, he was running around for his life. He was really not sure how many people there were in the village.

"I don't know if your village has a village chief."

"To tell you the truth, the chief of Wangjia Village is the little old man." Old man Wang said.

He became a villager in Wangjiacun not because of his ability, but because he is currently the highest seniority in Wangjiacun.

So after the death of the previous generation of villages, he became the head of the small village of Wangjia Village.

"So, I have something to trouble you, old man."

"Master, please tell me."

"Call everyone in Wangjiacun, I have something to say."

In such a chaotic era, no matter how strong his personal force is, Jiang Hao can only guarantee his own safety.

And if you want to start a career, you must have no one in your hand.

Therefore, Jiang Hao plans to recruit a group of people first, cultivate his private army, and form his own forces.

As for the source of soldiers, farmers with a relatively simple personality like Wang Li, who can't eat enough, even wear a piece of clothing to keep them warm, are the best.

Because they can endure hardships, as long as you can let them have enough food, warm clothes, and money, then they will listen to you.

"This... Daoist, this may be difficult. Although the little old man is the village head, he has no prestige in the village. It may be difficult to gather people together." Old man Wang was a little embarrassed Could it be.

"It doesn't matter, I have a way. In this way, when you go, you will say that as long as one person from each household comes, you can get ten copper coins."

Jiang Hao stretched his right hand into his sleeve.

When the hand is taken out again.

There are already a lot of copper coins in hand.

The number is at least hundreds of pieces.

This is no small sum.

You must know that the current price of grain in the city is only one qian (about 150 catties) of grain (ten qian is equal to one tael of silver, which is equal to one thousand copper coins).

This scene directly dumbfounded the Wang family and his son.

Seeing the appearance of Wang's father and son, Jiang Hao smiled.

Walking up to old man Wang; "Old man, if you have the money, can you call someone here?"

"This... Taoist priest, with this money, people can definitely call it, but this money."

"It's okay, you also know that I am a Taoist priest, but you know that my Taoist sect has a supernatural power called turning stone into gold." Jiang Hao laughed.

As soon as he heard the words, the old man Wang was shocked and wanted to kneel down.

Turning a stone into gold is something only gods can do.

But Jiang Hao had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he grabbed him directly.

"In my place, I don't want to kneel down and worship this kind of thing."

"A little money, I have as much as I want, old man, you and Wang Li, take the money and tell them that as long as they come with you, they can get ten copper coins. Give them three copper coins and tell them that they need to come here to get the rest."

While speaking, Jiang Hao put a large handful of copper coins in Old Man Wang's hand.
