Chapter 161 If you are brave enough, come on!
If you want to survive in the cottage, it is not enough to rob. In addition, you have to farm on your own.
The lord fought against the mountain thieves and originally wanted to flatten the cottage. Unfortunately, when I entered the mountain, I couldn't even touch the figure.
Come here and there, it's hard for the people to waste money. Although the lord raises the army, he can't afford to play like this every day. So they came up with an immoral idea and cut off the source of food other than the mountain thieves.
Mountain thieves are not good people, so they naturally have to resist. They robbed the nearby lord's manor and trampled on the crops with anger.
The lord can't sit still. Agriculture is fundamental. In this way, their income is not guaranteed.
So as soon as he was fierce, he simply cut off the mountain thief's financial path. But later it was found that this move was too fierce and drove the mountain thief to a dead end.
Mountain thieves are not good stubbles, and they naturally become more and more difficult to deal with the manor.
The two sides were deadlocked until later, and no one could do anything about it. It's really exhausting and losing both sides. So I had to make an appointment to negotiate. After all, the mountain thief was weak, so he made some concessions. Promise each stockade to pay the so-called contribution money according to the estimated number of people.
Every summer and winter, the lord can get an extra income.
Since then, the lord has been managed by the lord, and there are no mountain thieves to harass him.
The mountain thief is managed by the mountain thief. If there is a fat sheep, they will rob it. If it is empty on weekdays, they will go to the foot of the mountain to farm.
In this way, the two sides form a delicate balance.
The mountain thief and the lord live next to each other, but they are at peace.
The reason for this quarrel is that the lord, the insider among the mountain thieves, went back and reported what happened the day before yesterday.
The night not only invited the major village owners to eat and drink, gave them heavy gifts, but also took out a hundred gold and distributed it to everyone in the village.
In this way, the stewor responsible for collecting money is unbalanced. He wants to squeeze out more money.
Add ten copper coins to one person, not a small amount. If the total number of stockades exceeds 10,000, it will be 100,000 yuan.
These village owners were not willing, so they quarreled with the lord's stewer.
But both sides have a certain degree of restraint, and they won't really fight. In case things get worse, no one will get any benefits in the end.
Therefore, the two sides fought fiercely, but the leaders gathered together to fight.
The night was amused by them. There was nothing good about this play, so he was ready to leave. Who knew that the other party's stewid was sharp-eyed and insisted on taking the initiative to come to the door.
"Is this the new Wu Dangjia?" The melon hat arched his hand and said.
The night was unlucky, but he reached out and didn't hit the smiling face, so he had to salute: "What's the name of this adult?"
"My name is Zhou Yubiao, and I am the stewander jointly elected by the five state lords." After the melon leather hat introduced himself, the conversation changed, "Wu Dangjia, you are new here, and you may not understand the rules here. According to the agreement between the state lords and the village owners, it takes money to make a living here.
Jietian also heard a sign. He looked unhappy and said angrily, "How do you talk? We just came here and haven't opened yet. You just come up. What do you mean?"
Jietian is not easy to handle. It makes him angry. I'm afraid none of those national lords can sleep peacefully. The night pretends to be stupid and let Jietian play.
"This little brother," Zhou Yufei suddenly straightened his face. He said seriously, "You don't like this. If you are an exception, where will the face of the 18 village owners be?"
After saying that, the melon leather hat turned his head and said to Miao Wanmei, "Do you think this is the reason, little-mouthed girl?"
"Bah!" Miao Wanmei is not polite at all.
Seeing that Miao Wanmei was not a bird, Zhou Wei looked at Hao Lu again. Hao Lu didn't want to be a villain, so he quickly made a peeing expression: "I'm sorry, people are in a hurry. You can talk slowly and talk slowly." After saying that, he picked up his trousers and rushed out of the crowd.
This is an invincible urine escape, and Zhou Yufei made a lot of noise.
These village owners are already angry. Besides, with so many benefits of the night, how can you bend your arms outward?
The night is not in the mood to pester him more. At most, this man is a message, and he can't make the decision. So he said bluntly, "Mr. Zhou, I'll leave my words here. If you want to collect our money, you can. However, you'd better ask the lords clearly before you come to collect them. We are not afraid to tell you that our current foothold is the Death Valley in the mountains. Come here if you have the courage.
"What?"
"Death Valley?"
A group of village owners were originally looking at their eyes, noses and hearts, but now they suddenly heard Death Valley and looked over in surprise.
"Wu Dangjia, is it really Death Valley?" Miao Wanmei also looked surprised and couldn't believe it.
The night said modestly, "The feng shui treasures on the mountain have been booked by everyone. There is really no place to go, so I can only find a bad place to settle down."
Miao Wanmei looked nervous. He grabbed the night's arm and said, "Wu Dangjia, you have to be careful. It is rumored that it is an ominous place. Some people have been thinking about it before, but in just one night, they all disappeared.
Hao Lu, who had just urinated halfway, also suddenly ran back and advised the night, "Wu Dang's family, if you really have no place to settle down, come to my place first."
At present, many village owners have expressed their willingness to let them stay temporarily in the night.
The night punched everyone: "The kindness of all of you is well received by Mr. Wu. But I have made up my mind to stay in Death Valley. On March 3, Fengyunzhai officially opened. If you are brave enough, come to Death Valley to get together.
Zhou Yufei, the stewman of the melon skin hat, was also surprised, but he represented the five lords of the country, and the tone of the fox was full of tiger power: "Lord Wu Zhai, what a great courage. But our ugly words are in the front. If Fengyunzhai is really stubborn, don't resent the lord for not being affectionate.
After saying that, he said to the owner of the village, "All the owner of the village, also be a witness. The Lord of Wuzhai is unwilling to abide by the agreement. If you are on fire, I hope you don't intervene.
When everyone heard Zhou Yuxie's words, they hesitated.
The unity of the 18 villages has created a situation of coexistence with the surrounding lords. If there is a division inside, I'm afraid the good days will not last long. So I wanted them not to interfere, but I didn't agree.
However, they also have concerns. The current peace situation was hard to get. If there is a conflict with the surrounding lords, the gains will not be worth the losses.
The night also understood their situation through the previous nonsense with Miao Wanmei and Hao Lu. He is unwilling to abide by such fragile rules of the game, but he is also unwilling to drag down the people of the Eighth Villages.
The night glanced at the field and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed, and I'm sorry to bother you to bear witness. Wu and the state's affairs should be solved by themselves. You don't need to intervene.
"Wu Dangjia, ga..." Hao Lu said half of it, but he couldn't continue.
The night smiled at him, and then changed his face. He said seriously to Zhou Yufei, "If Wu didn't have the courage, he wouldn't set up in Death Valley. If your lord is dissatisfied, I will follow whatever he does. After saying that, he bowed his hand to the village owners again: "Gentlemen, Wu will say goodbye. See you again tomorrow."
"Humph!" Zhou Yu was obviously very unhappy. Seeing the night and the horse in the sky, he went away and said fiercely, "Riding a donkey to watch the play, why don't we wait and see!"
Being tossed around in the night, he was no more in the mood to bargain with these village owners. Now there is a thorn in the 18-mile sharpening ridge, and it must be cleaned up. He has to go back quickly and report to the lords.
Leave the Gravel Square and go all the way west to Death Valley.
Jietian's horse and the night walked together. He was a little puzzled and said, "Little brother, in fact, I'm just a little angry, but I don't have to get along with them. Besides, we don't have to pay attention to this little money.
"Jietian, everything should be more far-reaching." The night followed the good inducement. He turned his head and swept half a circle outside the mountain. Then he said slowly, "What's wrong with such a cowardly mountain thief as the Eighth Village? Don't you want this large area of land? Now, I happen to need a head to take the initiative to lead the knife around.
If Wen Zhong was present, you would understand as soon as you heard it that the night was thinking of robbery. In winter, there are few merchants on the road, so they can only think about the lords around them.
Of course, this is also a helpless move. Who told them that they didn't have any leftover food? They can't wait to farm or buy food by themselves. With more than 300 people and more than 400 big-stomach horses, they can't starve to death.
In this society, to solve the problem of food and clothing, robbery is one of the fastest ways.
Therefore, the delicate situation of the 18-mile grinding knife ridge will be broken, and the good days of the surrounding lords will come to an end.
As soon as I arrived at the ramp at the foot of the mountain, soldiers came up. The emergency the night before yesterday also made Zhao Yibiao angry. So he arranged a sentry post on the way into the mountain.
As soon as the soldier saw that he was his leader, he immediately retreated to the roadside and let him go respectfully.
Entering the mountain, the night suddenly asked Jietian, "If you let you do it to your own people, do you dare?"
"What?" Jietian was stunned. He didn't understand.
No matter what Jie Tian thought, he said to himself, "I'm brewing a plan to send a large number of subordinates out. But as you know, we have a lot of secrets. In case of leakage, it will lead to the disaster of extermination. So once the soldier is captured and can't be rescued, you need to do it.
"Let me save it. It's not too difficult." Jietian's mind hasn't turned around yet.
The night shook his head at him and said seriously, "I don't need to raise a rice bucket or drag the oil bottle. If they don't have the ability to protect themselves, it means that they can't take on the responsibility. If you follow us, you will only make mistakes. I'll mention this first and let you be prepared first, but don't reveal it.
"I see," Jietian replied. He has a particularly big advantage. If he can't figure it out, he simply doesn't want to strictly implement the order of the night.
Slowly back to the cottage, the soldiers had just got up. Because I was too tired last night, and today is the Spring Festival. Therefore, Zhao Yibiao allowed his men to sleep in.
"Let's go and see Qingyue. She is too tired these days. I'm afraid there's something wrong with her health." Night Road.
