Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 656

Chapter 656 Open source

Feng Yong led the army into the Chasing Fox Valley, and he was still a little bit tangled on the way. If necessary, should he follow the example of the Zhuge old demon in the novel and set fire to the Chasing Fox Valley?

I just heard that it is easy to lose life like this?

Before he could think it over, there was a rebel Qiang Hu in front of him who came out and surrendered.

Looking at Qu Shuai, a Qiang man who was taller than himself, standing in front of him respectfully, bent over, with a flattering smile on his face, holding a dead man's head in both hands and handing it to him, Feng Yong was still in front of him for a moment. Did not respond.

He blinked, his eyes fell on the head in the opponent's hand, and he covered his nose, "Yemoer's head?"

"Yes my lord."

Zhi Shigu's waist bent even lower.

Feng Yong waved his hand, Huo Yi came over and took the head for verification.

Feng Yong breathed a sigh of relief, well, I am a good person, and I will not do the kind of vile and immoral things that set fire to the valley.

It's just that when he was brought to the flat land, he immediately took a breath.

"How many people have you... killed?"

The high pile of corpses in the middle of the flat ground is the most eye-catching. Although he didn't take a closer look, Feng Yong can still vaguely see that piece of ground, which is oozing dark red.

Not far from the pile of corpses, there was a group of women and children, separated by themselves, huddled together in fear, trembling.

"My lord, according to the usual practice, except for the sheep slaves, the strong and strong members of this clan cannot be left behind."

Zhi Shigu replied cautiously.

fart!

What about the humanitarian spirit?

Feng Yong looked at everything in front of him, his heart ached so badly that he couldn't breathe, he pointed at everything in front of him tremblingly, and asked tremblingly, "You guys, how could you be like this?"

Cruel!

Savage!

Behind!

It is simply inhumane!

Is it not good to let them go to labor reform?

A group of losers!

"Pull up those women and children and place them properly." Feng Yong commanded, and then asked, "Where are the cattle and sheep of the Yemo'e tribe?"

Zhi Shigu's face froze, and he said in a somewhat muffled voice, "It was too chaotic at that time, maybe a lot of cattle and sheep got lost..."

"You fart!" Feng Yong pointed at his nose and yelled, "You killed the strong people in the family, and then divided up the cattle and sheep in the family, do you think I don't know?"

I saw Feng Langjun pointing to those poor women and children, and said sadly, "Seeing that winter is coming, what will you let those women and children eat and drink? Do you want them to freeze to death and starve to death?"

After being taught by Feng Langjun, Zhi Shigu expressed his shame and said that he would find the lost cattle and sheep of the Yemen Russian tribe as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, you know the righteousness and know the truth. I won't treat you badly. You don't have to worry about the food this winter."

"I will first lend you a batch of food for the winter, and I will also lend you another batch of clothing and felt for the winter. When you settle down next year, just return it slowly."

"As long as it's paid off within three years, I'll only charge 10% interest, isn't that too much?" Feng Yong said shamelessly, "It doesn't matter if it's cattle, sheep, wool, or the food you grow , can be used to repay the debt.”

"Longyou has initially decided that the government will be exempt from taxes next year, so you don't have to worry about not paying. But you made mistakes after all, so you must be punished to show fairness."

"At the end of the year at the earliest, and at the beginning of spring next year at the latest, I will rebuild Pingxiang City. At that time, according to the size of your tribe's population, you will be selected for corvee service."

Feng Yong naturally knew that Qianghu in Longyou had a hard time this year, so he would not force him too much.

Otherwise, even if they are overwhelmed by force for a while, hunger and death will drive them to rebel again. This is human survival instinct.

Zhi Shigu didn't expect the legendary Feng Langjun to be so generous, so he quickly crawled down and choked up, "If I had known Feng Langjun's benevolence earlier, the villain would have wished to join the family as soon as possible. How dare you do the opposite?"

All the Qu Shuai who had just joined behind Zhi Shigu knelt down and repented one after another.

For them, 10% interest is not much, really not much.

Qianghu has a low status in front of the Han people most of the time and is often bullied.

They also cultivate land, but they usually have to bear more taxes and corvees than the Han people, and sometimes the government even confiscates all the grain in their hands unreasonably.

In addition to the government, local tyrants often join the ranks of enslaving them.

If they really dared to borrow food from the Han people, maybe in the next year, the whole tribe would have to sell themselves to pay off the debt.

It is precisely because of this that they are so supportive of Guo Huai who allows them to live a stable life.

So Zhi Shigu's extremely moving behavior is not all acting.

Fairness is the quality most valued by Hu people.

Otherwise, Feng Yong wouldn't be able to pass the word of mouth to the Hu population with just a white horse alliance.

What is virtue?

Feng Langjun's behavior is called virtue.

So Feng Langjun convinces people with virtue.

Standing on the other side, Qiang Hu Qushuai, who was the first to join, saw this scene, and the pores of his body seemed to be opened, and his vanity was completely satisfied.

The grain I borrowed by myself not only needs to be returned at half price, but also follow Feng Langjun to quell the chaos and rebuild the city, and can also offset the debt. Compared with these people, it is simply the grain that was taken for nothing.

Gelu Congbao even secretly grabbed a handful of fried noodles from the dry food bag and stuffed them into his mouth.

Although Feng Langjun taught everyone to mix it with water, in fact, many people feel that stuffing it into their mouths from time to time and eating it dry, holding it for a while and then swallowing it, will make it more delicious.

Gelu Congbao stretched his neck, swallowed the fried noodles, and licked his hands again. This time his mouth and stomach were satisfied—this dry food is delicious and convenient.

The Qiang rebels in Hanyang County will hold together, and Feng Yong is mentally prepared for this.

But they were all blocked in the valley, and then suddenly there was internal strife, and finally someone with the head of the culprit bowed to himself and nodded, "Sir, thisway, please!"

This is what he didn't expect.

Seeing that two months' food suddenly turned into less than a month, and it was still the kind that could barely eat under the planned rationing, Feng Yong was a little caught off guard.

So he can only stay in Qingshui, waiting for Dongfeng Express to deliver food.

Fortunately, the largest tribe among the rebellious Qianghu tribes was wiped out, leaving behind a lot of cattle and sheep, as well as some millet grains, so as long as Dongfeng Express can be on time, there is no need to worry about food shortages.

In fact, Dongfeng Express came faster than Feng Yong expected. He waited for less than ten days before Xu Xun personally escorted the food.

A good-natured gentleman, for the convenience of the journey, he wears tight clothes and long trousers, and there are leg wraps on his legs. In addition, the journey is busy and dusty.

If it weren't for the plain towel on his head, which could prove his identity a little bit, some people would believe that he was the head of Guizhou who didn't know how to be polite.

Xu Xun gulped down the water Feng Yong personally poured, wiped his mouth, and his image became even worse.

"Brother, did you arrive in time?"

A look of asking for credit waiting for a reward.

"Not bad, very timely." Feng Yong nodded, "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I have so many people, I'm afraid I have to take them back to resettle."

Hearing this, Xu Xun's eyes lit up, and he leaned over and asked, "Brother, how much did you charge for this labor?"

"I don't have any work, this time it's a big loss." Feng Yong panicked when he mentioned this matter, "The whole tribe was slaughtered by those rebellious Qianghu, leaving a group of women and children behind."

"Huh? No labor? The little brother also specially brought extra guards..."

Xu Xun suddenly looked disappointed.

"If there is no one in this batch, then there will be another batch? Besides, even if there is no strong labor force, can we just raise the price of the female workers?"

Feng Yong is not good at leading the army, but doing business is still good.

After all, he was the one who took out two months of military rations from Longyou rations.

"Female worker? What female worker?"

Xu Xun was a little confused. Didn't all the female workers in Nanxiang sign contracts? That's a household registration, so how can you sell it as soon as you say it?

"This aristocratic family in Sichuan has set up five workshops. How come they only buy wool? Can they weave cloth without female workers?"

Feng Yong let out a "tsk", a little dissatisfied with Xu Xun's reaction, originally for the sake of your diligence, he wanted to add burden to you, but with your reaction, I am not in the mood.

"How to comb the wool and how to use the loom, are those women born with it? Don't they have to be taught? When it comes to the operation of the workshop, who else has an advantage over Nanxiang?"

"We first teach a group of female workers, and then introduce them to the newly opened workshops. It not only relieves the urgent needs of those who are planning to open workshops, but also allows those barbarian women to have a new way out. Isn't it wonderful?"

A labor intermediary company that specializes in introducing skilled female workers, and the price is negotiable.

However, before that, the female workers must be given a household registration, and then sign a three-year, five-year contract, so that the aristocratic families will not squeeze them to death in these few years.

How to teach Hu women weaving, Nanxiang has accumulated the most advanced experience.

Of course, if the aristocratic families can change their stance, instead of advocating women's "weakness" and "women's behavior", Feng Yong has no objection and even raises his hand to welcome them.

But according to the family's urine, they are definitely reluctant to say this before they have tasted the sweet and incomparable benefits of the workshop.

So Hu women were the biggest source of weavers when they started their workshops, because they were not bound by ethics.

These days, Qu Shuai always invites Feng Yong to be a guest in their clan, and tries his best to keep Feng Yong to spend the night in the master's big tent.

Very hospitable, especially the hostess.

Fortunately, Feng Yong was determined, because it was invisible and the smell was too strong, so he was really in no mood.

So how much etiquette do you expect them to keep?

Women, in many cases, are just like cattle and sheep, just property.

If these properties can be exchanged for more properties, fools will not exchange them.

Xu Xun's IQ is still online after all. After hearing Feng Yong's analysis, he was extremely excited on the spot.

Brother, what you said is very good!

I think that Nanzheng's workshop has a large scale because of Nanxiang's help.

Shuzhong family wants to open a workshop, can they leave Nanxiang?

Don't say they can't find enough female workers, even if they can find them, can they start working right away?

Have a place?

What's the matter with the quota?

Do not need weavers in the workshop? How to manage so many weavers? How to use the loom? How to wash wool? If there is no guidance from others, can it be driven?

No wonder my elder brother said at the beginning that I and others should not grab the quota of this workshop. Looking at it this way, this snatching of the quota is just the beginning.

Without a strong family background, how can ordinary people afford it?

The elder brother asks for money, food, and people in the front, and the brothers in the club also grit their teeth to support them when they eat bran and swallow vegetables, isn't it just to wait for this kind of time to have a big bite?

So two days later, Xu Xun, regardless of his fatigue, took Dongfeng Express to open a temporary wartime transportation route and sent people to Pingxiang.

Longyou's Feng Yongju killed the chicken with a sledgehammer, and the progress was relatively smooth.

Cao Xiu from Yangzhou felt that even if he didn't use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, at most he would use a sledgehammer to chop a pig's thigh. Unexpectedly, he cut it on basalt.

Not to mention only cutting out a row of sparks, the knife also rolled his mouth, and even made his arm numb from the shock.

After he set up camp in Shiting, he personally led an army of 60,000 to Wancheng, intending to defeat the Wu army under the city, but he got into Lu Xun's pocket.

Fortunately, Cao Xiu had enough soldiers, no matter how strategic Lu Xun was, it was still not enough to surround and kill the Wei army in this kind of place.

What's more, although Cao Xiu underestimated the military strength of Soochow, he was cautious at the last moment when facing the enemy who was planning to wait for him to come.

So Cao Xiu was defeated in the battle of Wancheng, but because of Jianwu general Wang Ling's brave breakout, the Wei army retreated to Shiting after dropping 5,000 corpses.

Wu Jun chased all the way.

At this time, Cao Xiu was very grateful that he had already arranged an ambush on both sides of Shiting. He thought he could fight back.

It's just that it's normal for a general with an intelligence of more than 70 to meet a commander with an intelligence of 98.

Lu Xun first sent the left and right governors to lead their men to attack Cao Xiu's ambush in turn.

Lu Xun did not give Cao Xiu a chance to breathe, and then attacked the Wei army camp at night.

Wei Jun couldn't hold back this time, and retreated in successive defeats. Cao Xiu finally couldn't control his army, and everyone left their luggage and began to flee.

Countless cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, and vehicles were thrown in the camp and on the road, blocking Soochow from continuing to pursue.

Seeing his subordinates scrambling for supplies, Zhu Huan was furious on the spot. He drew his sword and beheaded the two of them.

At present, the soldiers are driving hard to clear the road, ready to continue the pursuit.

Lu Xun had no choice but to send someone to make a big bend, trying to go to the front to block Jiashi.

When Cao Xiu arrived at Wuqiangkou at the beginning of his journey south, because of the reminder from Man Chong's letter, he noticed Wuqiangkou, so the Wu soldiers who had been ambushing nearby had no effect.

At this time, the defeat of Cao Xiu's army was a bit beyond Lu Xun's expectations. He had to temporarily send people to bypass the battlefield, trying to take a small path to break the back of the Wei army.

At the same time, Jia Kui led the army to advance two hundred miles along the waterway, and captured the scouts of the state of Wu who were sending military intelligence. Only then did they know that Cao Xiu had been defeated in Shiting.

One thing that made him more concerned was that Lu Xun had sent troops to Jiashi to cut off the back road.

"General, the total number of people I waited for was only a few thousand, and at least Wu Lu had nearly 90,000 people. If we go ahead like this, I'm afraid it won't help. Why don't we wait for General Man to arrive later?" Let's go again."

Hu Zhi said hesitantly.

Jia Kui shook his head directly, his face solemn and anxious, "Cao Xiu's army was defeated like a landslide, and he could not fight if he entered, and he could not return when he retreated. I am afraid that he will be unable to stop Wu Lu's pursuit, so now is the critical moment of life and death."

The relationship between him and Cao Xiu is extremely bad, and he used to say "Da Sima", but at this time, Cao Xiu led 100,000 soldiers to die, so he didn't have a trace of respect anymore, so he just called him by his first name.

"According to the current situation, Cao Xiu may not be able to support it until it gets dark, and it will take at least two days for General Man to lead the army here. If we wait for the rear army, Wu Lu may have cut off the rear route long ago."

"No matter how many reinforcements we have at that time, it will not help the matter. Wu Jun is now blocked from the main road, and even if Lu Xun sends out the soldiers who have broken the rear, he can only take the small road, so the number of troops will definitely not be too many."

"As long as we rush to Jiashi in front of them, we will be able to take the lead and dampen the morale of the enemy. When the Wu Lu Qing army comes, they will see that we have defended the dangerous place, and they will retreat without knowing the truth."

After explaining all this, Jia Kui and the generals rushed to Jiashi without stopping. At the same time, they set up many banners and drums along the way as suspicious soldiers to slow down the pursuit of Wu Jun.
