The beggar emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

"Don't move!"

"Who moves and kills who."

"If you want food but don't want life, squat well."

After the motorcade went on the trail for a few miles, there was an open space. Xiao Xinru was gathering more than five hundred men together, ready to explain something.

Who would have thought that at this moment, more than two hundred young men with sharp blades sprang out of the surrounding area, and it was obvious that Qin Tie stayed in ambush all night.

"The goddamn little gangsters in Heishanzhai have gone down the mountain, run!"

Hundreds of great Hans suddenly panicked and wanted to escape, but looked at the dazzling spear heads around, they had to squat down with their heads.

In the end, four or five hundred big men were actually held by two hundred young men with spears, and the cart turned around and returned to Montenegro.

By the time Mr. Wu received the news, gathered all the families, and more than 100 inspectors arrived, the convoy had already passed the town.

The last time Wufengzhai attacked Heishanzhai, dozens of people died in the end, everyone had heard about it, and it was getting dark again, so they were reluctant to chase it.

Elder Wu caught a big guy who had escaped by chance and came to ask, and learned that Young Master Xiao had not been captured by the bandits, but had been released, so he had to take someone back.

In fact, the big man deliberately let him go when he passed the town.

After returning to the town, Mr. Wu felt very annoyed in his heart. The whole Heishi Town had already been regarded as a forbidden by his Wu family.

Even the strong men from the Black Tiger didn't dare to robbery under his nose in such an open flame, it was really hateful.

At that time, Young Master Xiao didn't mention someone to protect him, so he didn't say, who would have thought that this ten miles would be exploited.

...

A whole thousand stones of grain were carried to the cottage, and all the teenagers cheered.

Four hundred shi of rice, three hundred shi of wheat, and three hundred shi of miscellaneous grains, open to eat, more than 200 people, dozens of horses, can eat for four to five months.

Hundreds of big men almost fainted from exhaustion, and Qin Yu didn't treat them badly. Each one gave a catty of rice as reward.

In the following days, the teenagers were full of energy, and the trees were chopped down and transported to the cottage.

The iron shop also officially opened. The weapons captured in the two wars were almost 1,500 kilograms of wrought iron. It is estimated that they could create hundreds of guns.

The two brothers couldn't make out the flint firing structure for the time being, so they had to make a matchlock first.

The matchlock gun is much simpler, the two brothers are completely aside, the only thing that makes Qin Yu dissatisfied is that the drill barrel is too slow.

As for Miss Guo, staying on the mountain was a waste of food, so the food was put away as soon as he bought it.

At the gate of the village.

More than a dozen teenagers returned home fortunately.

"Chief, the people in the nearby villages are unwilling to work for us, and some hunters also warned us not to go to their villages in the future, otherwise they would be rude to us."

"Have you clearly explained the treatment to them?"

Qin Yu frowned. The young men were too slow to work, and he wanted to build a stone wall.

So I thought about recruiting some nearby villagers to work, so that it can speed up the speed and leave a good impression, so that he can recruit troops later.

"By the way, my brothers are all talking about it, but they just don't believe it, saying that we are not at ease."

"What a fucking headache!"

Qin Yu touched his chin with a look of helplessness. Wearing the hat of a bandit and bandit, it is not easy to really do anything.

If you want to buy food, you have to cheat first, and come back from the robbery, and recruit some people to work, but no one is willing to come.

He had already inquired clearly about the situation in the villages from the six women, and sent the teenagers to investigate, and he could only use a tragic and poor word to describe it.

Almost every day they eat wild vegetables and coarse grains. Most of them are left alone and owe debts to the landlords of the town.

"In this way, you will go back tomorrow, carry the grain, and tell those villagers who are willing to come to work, you can send the grain first, half a catty for adult men, two or two for strong women, and two meals, morning gruel, white flour buns and vegetables at noon Tang, I don’t believe in evil anymore!"

Qin Yu gritted his teeth and said.

The next day, the three captains each took ten people, carrying rice to the nearest three villages.

The nearest village of Liujia Village is just by the creek six or seven miles to the left of Heishan Village. There are more than 50 households with more than 200 people, and there are only tens of acres of paddy fields and a hundred ten fields.

The paddy fields are owned by the town’s landlord. They grow rice and require 60% rent. The dry fields are owned by their own, but they can only grow wheat. The low yield is scary. The season is good enough to pay taxes, and the season is bad and you get a loss.

But this kind of dry land, even if the villagers want to join the landlord and gentry's family, they are too lazy to ask for it, and it is not cost-effective to grow it by themselves. It really becomes a burden.

Because even if you don't plant it, tax and silver are indispensable. If it weren't for villagers who often hunt for subsidies, I'm afraid it would have gone bankrupt.

"Big Tiger, it's not good, the little gangsters on Black Mountain are here again..."

"Straight girl thief!"

When the teenagers had just crossed the river, the village was yelling constantly. Hundreds of young and strong men and women, wearing various outfits, came to the entrance of the village. They were a big man with a big iron fork in their hands.

"Brother Tiger, shall we really do it later?"

"If they don't enter the village, we won't do anything. If we dare to come in, we will fight out, and we will be careful when we start."

"Look, they are still carrying things? What the hell?"

A group of villagers pointed and pointed.

The teenagers saw the villagers staring at him and did not go in, but stopped at the door.

Qin Tie ordered people to open the bag according to Qin Yu's instructions, revealing the white rice inside. Holding a bamboo tube in his hand, he scooped up the rice, poured it in, and yelled at it.

"I have heard clearly. Those who are willing to go to work tomorrow. The man will send half a catty of rice now, and the woman will send two or two meters. When we arrive tomorrow morning, we will have a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns and vegetable soup at noon..."

"Brother Tiger, are you saying what these guys are saying is true?"

"Hey, kid, really send rice now?"

"Is there really buns with buns at noon?"

The villagers looked at each other. When they heard that there were buns with white flour to eat, almost all of them swallowed subconsciously.

"Of course it is true. If you don't believe it, you can come out and sign up, I will send it to you now!"

"it is good!"

A man was about to go out subconsciously, but was quickly pulled by a few people on the side.

"Sledgehammer, you are looking for death, they are bandits, can they give us food?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it's not doing something with a moth. In the end, it will blackmail our food and not go out."

The villagers chatted endlessly, but no one went out.

Seeing noon at noon, no one came to sign up. The teenagers simply set up the pot and started cooking.

A pot of big rice, steaming, made the stomachs of the villagers groan.

If it wasn't for everyone to have wives, children, and children, and fear that the teenagers would retaliate, they would be afraid of the shiny spearheads in their hands, or they would have rushed to kill them long ago and grab the rice and rice.

"I forgot to bring the bowls and chopsticks today. Whoever borrows a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks, I will return half a bowl of rice to him later." Qin Tie came to the door and smiled at the people inside with his waist knife.

"Ergou, get ten sets of bowls and chopsticks."

The man named Dahu took a look at Qin Tie and said to the thin young man beside him.

Ergou rushed out immediately, brought ten sets of bowls and chopsticks, and handed them out.

The teenagers took the bowls and chopsticks, and immediately started to eat. Each of them ate two large bowls with round belly, and then they returned all the bowls that were not finished.

"Oh, little brother, why don't you want that rice crust?"

"Auntie, haven't you seen it? It's all gone."

"What's the matter with the paste? Can't you eat it after paste? Prodigal, don't bring it to the aunt..."

When the aunts saw Qin Tie, they wanted to throw the big washbasin into the river to feed the fish, and suddenly jumped and cursed.

Hundreds of villagers instantly scraped the three bowls of rice and a piece of dark rice crust that they passed in.

At most, each person had a small bite, which was not enough to stuff his teeth. If it weren't for the prestige of the big tiger, I'm afraid it won't be a fight.

"Mother, I still want to eat rice..."

"Daddy, I want to eat crispy rice..."

After the children licked their bowls cleanly, they cried at the adults on the side.

The few big guys can't help it anymore. As long as they have rice, they are afraid of a fart, and they will say that they were caught by bandits to work.

"Boy, I will give you a day's work tomorrow and give me half a catty of rice."

"Well, the big one is just half a catty, and the small one is two or two."

Qin Tie was also unambiguous, and directly scooped up the bamboo tube. The big man hurriedly pulled his clothes to pick it up, and then rushed home with rice.

Not long.

After a small bag of rice was divided, Qin Tie returned with someone.
