Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting
Chapter 16 People are the most important
[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]
Outside the dilapidated shack, a woman wearing an old cloth headscarf was chasing half-grown children with a thin willow tree.
"Big Mom, don't take the tree sticks, it will hurt."
"That's right, Haizi was whipped by his father a few days ago and he hasn't come to play with us for a few days."
"You brats, don't run away. If you don't listen to me, stay home. If you insist on wandering around, I'll beat you brats to death."
Suddenly, one of the children stopped suddenly and was hit by the rising thin willow.
Big Mama didn't really mean to beat them, she just wanted to scare them. The mountains are not peaceful these days, so it's best not to wander outside.
Unexpectedly, the child did not yell as usual, but stared at the fields in the distance with bright eyes, and then turned around excitedly and slipped into the shanty.
"Brother Haizi, the armored warrior is here, the armored warrior is really here!"
The woman also took a look, and her face suddenly turned sallow.
Suddenly fear came to mind, and he turned around and said in panic: "Masters, it's not good, those people from the government are here."
When he came to the shack, Qin Hao felt that the silence was unusual, as if there was no stranger there, and even the wisps of smoke that had risen before had disappeared.
"What's going on?" Qin Hao turned around and looked at Li Guo and Li Guo who had just arrived and asked.
"Sir, I've never seen the world in a broken household. How can I not be afraid when I see an official coming? I'm hiding at home."
Li Guo wiped the sweat from his head and held his waist, panting and saying, "It's not worth mentioning, I'll call them out right now."
He was not exhausted from the waterway just now. The bones of a man who does not farm are not as strong as a farmer.
It's said that adults can run faster than him, but they don't even take a breath. It's really amazing.
I don't know how many women can withstand such a good physical strength. Thinking of this, the expression on Li Guo's face gradually became weird.
After looking at Qin Hao a few more times, Li Guo immediately returned to normal and asked Luan Ping to go to the shanty to call for help.
You have to behave like you are doing things. This is what my teacher in the accounting department taught me before.
Now that your Excellency is in front of you, how can the two of them not behave well? If the military master behind you calls for someone, it won't make a fuss.
Although Li Guo knew that the military masters were strictly disciplined and would not do anything inappropriate, the mountain people in the shanty towns did not know that.
They only know a jingle: when they meet the officers and soldiers, they will be skinned and cramped. Seeing the officers is more chilling than seeing ghosts.
While they were entering the shanty to recruit people, Qin Hao quickly clicked on the task panel.
[Side mission - destroy the bandits]
[On the endless mountains, there are bandits of all sizes, wipe them out and recruit them, and restore peace to this place]
[Appendix 1: Not everyone is willing to be a bandit. There are also women and children among them. Please identify and comfort them. 1% of the number of people recruited and surrendered is the mission reward unit.
[Appendix 2: Of course, there are also some long-standing villains who have committed many crimes, and they are beheaded in public. 10% of the people killed will be the mission reward troops]
[Mission Reward—Shuntian Dead Soldiers (Unknown Number)]
"The recruitment rate is only 1%." Looking at the mission panel, Qin Hao muttered dissatisfiedly.
Although I had watched it countless times before, when I was about to face the result, I still couldn't control my consciousness and just wanted to take a look.
If nothing else, this is obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't keep the adults waiting."
Li Guo pulled out the people inside one by one on the path of the shanty with both hands, and then fiercely urged them to go outside.
"Yes, yes, I'm talking about you. If you continue to be slow and slow, I'll give you something good to eat."
Li Guo worked as an accountant in the mountains, and he still had some prestige and power. When he saw anyone who was disobedient, he would directly beat and scold him. The group of sturdy farmers did not dare to resist, and they all followed his wishes.
Compared with Li Guo, Luan Ping seemed much softer. He softly begged for mercy everywhere and called out the few women and children in the shanty.
The children are still young and don't understand why officials are as powerful as tigers and cannot be approached.
After coming out, they were so happy that they all slipped towards the Shuntian dead soldiers beside Qin Hao, wanting to see what the armored warriors looked like.
At this time, the women who had just come out were still scared, fearing that the soldiers outside would do something evil.
When I came out, I found that the children around me had already run to the group of officers and soldiers.
Suddenly his face turned pale with fright, and he walked quickly to Qin Hao, clasped his hands and kowtowed to his head, and sobbed feebly: "Please be lenient, sir, and let these children go."
Seeing this, the men who followed also kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Let the children go."
Seeing their parents like this, the children knew that they were in trouble, and they couldn't help but feel scared.
The mood I had just wanted to see the armored warrior suddenly disappeared. One by one, they ran to their mother's side and hid, not daring to poke their heads out.
"Wow wow wow"
A little girl had just followed the group of boys and ran quickly. Now she saw that they were going back and wanted to follow her, but she tripped over a stone on the road and burst into tears.
"Oh oh oh, don't cry, don't cry." Qin Hao carefully picked her up, patted her back, and comforted her, "Brother will help you get revenge later and teach those brats a lesson."
Maybe it was the comfort that played a role, or maybe it was Qin Hao's natural affinity. The little girl wiped away her tears and stared at Qin Hao with innocent eyes like a deer, looking left and right.
It made him a little embarrassed.
Holding her in his arms, Qin Hao walked to the kneeling people and took stock of the number of people.
The bandits had kidnapped quite a few people, probably a thousand at a glance.
"Everyone, get up, I have something to say." Qin Hao said with a majestic face
"Thank you sir"
"Thank you sir"
A large number of people stood up, and Qin Hao's eyes suddenly went dark, and he couldn't see what was going on behind him.
Li Guo was a good man. When he saw this scene, he immediately asked Qin Hao and asked them to sit down. Anyway, the rough clothes of the peasants were not too dirty.
After they sat down, Qin Hao asked the first question: "How much is the food tax?"
This scene reminded Qin Hao of the struggle meetings in movies and TV series to fight against the rich and divide their land, and he also wanted to do this. From now on, the land must belong to the common people.
But as soon as the question was asked, the crowd became completely silent, and no one got up to reply at all.
Seeing that he was going to be silent, Li Guo immediately tugged on Luan Ping's sleeves and asked him to come forward. He couldn't embarrass the adults at this time.
"Sir, we don't have grain taxes. We grow two crops of rice a year. Except for a few grains, everything else has to be handed over to the village."
"What, the exploitation is so deep."
When Qin Hao heard this, he wondered if he was working for nothing. If he had quit working, he would have quit working.
"Sir, this is much better than life in my hometown. I can pick up some rice ears to make ends meet." When he said this, Luan Ping's eyes turned red unconsciously.
Looking carefully at the group of people on the ground, except for the children's faces that were somewhat bloody, the rest of the men and women had pale lips, and their faces were also thin and sallow due to lack of carbohydrates.
Seeing this scene, Qin Hao couldn't bear it, and immediately asked a dozen Shuntian dead soldiers to get food. Today he would have a good meal here with these people.
