I was engaged in construction in ancient times

"When the harvest is good next year, we will have enough to eat."

"Let's stop watching the excitement, take advantage of the time, quickly pick up a hoe and turn over the ground."

People around were talking about it. For ordinary people, after the pirates were driven away, they cultivated food well, no different from before. At most, the types of food changed, and they still depended on the land for food.

Now that General Duan is in charge of this place, you have to listen to him.

The nearby spectators were about to retreat, the faint sunlight from the sky hit everyone, hoes, sickles and other utensils were scattered on the ground, the yellowish-brown soil was mottled on the tips of the hoes, and the sharp corners were exposed, Refracted silver cold light.

The few people behind Zhu Lian were all in their twenties and thirties, wearing gray or brown trousers and long dresses. The clothes were quite worn out, and their belts were not neatly slanted to one side. move.

They followed Zhu Lian to make trouble. They were not very courageous, so they dared to follow behind and shout a few times. Without Zhu Lian as the leader, they would not dare to make trouble.At this moment, Duan Shubai brought Zhang Changle and the others over. The two of them are tall and mighty like the northerners, and their eyes are terrifying. They are quite different from the thin and short local coastal people in terms of size and strength. Far.

Fang Da, Liu Shan and the others behind Zhu Lian were overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of Duan Shubai.Fang Da is also a lazy guy. He used to work under a bearded pirate and lived a pretty good life with his slavish looks. He enjoyed bullying men and women. Later, he heard that General Duan was going to call him. I cried bitterly and followed everyone to resist the "sea bandits" together.

Duan Shubai drove the pirates away, but his life became difficult.Similar to Zhu Lian's situation, they used to force others to work, but now he has to work by himself, and he can't cheat and cheat, which made Fonda angry for a while.

Zhu Lian waited a few words in front of him and said a lot of bad things about General Duan, and he followed suit.

Fang Da watched Zhu Lian and Duan Shubai quietly in front of him with his small eyes, and his heart was trembling with fear. He is a bully and fears evil. He originally wanted to follow Zhu Lian to make trouble a few times, talk to the guards, and do nothing. Still going back to his old appearance of stealing, raping and playing tricks.

Compared with those pirates who would kill at the sight of blood, the guards under Duan Shubai would not easily take their lives.

Scoundrels like them, not to mention the village head, even the former county magistrate, can't handle them.

Fang Da originally planned this way, but he didn't expect that after they made such a fuss, two high officials would fall from the sky.Fang Da shrank his neck and took a sneak peek at Zhu Lian. He didn't expect that Brother Zhu would be so tough-tempered and dare to be so "plausible" in front of the well-known General Duan.

Be good, is this fatal?

Although General Duan was kind to the common people, he was extremely cruel to those bandits and pirates who burned, killed and looted before.

Fang Da will never forget the heroic appearance of the Yangzhou soldiers and the pirates when they fought against each other.

Thinking of this, Fang Da calmed down in his heart, lowered his eyebrows and squatted down, stretched his right hand down, trying to grab a wooden hoe scattered on the ground.

He thought to himself, first pick up the hoe and pretend to be on the field for a while, and then throw the hoe away after General Duan left.

Fang Da's hand just touched the body of the hoe, and before he could pick it up, a black shadow hit his eyes, Zhu Lian kicked the hoe away from his hand, and Fang Da's fingers were wiped by this force Hurt, screaming in pain.

All eyes refocused on them.

Although there were many people around, except for Fang Da, no one made a sound.

Zhang Changle frowned, and was about to step forward, but was blocked by Duan Shubai, Zhang Changle glared at Zhu Lian angrily, while Duan Shubai was hugging his chest on the ground, looking up at Zhu Lian in front of him.

Zhu Lian kicked the hoe away, spat a few mouthfuls of saliva, looked at the people around, and shouted loudly: "It's unreasonable, this General Duan is not a good guy, folks, they are now forcing us What is the difference between doing so much work and the beast pirates who enslaved us to farm the land and wash our feet?"

"Yes, those pirates are not a thing, but Duan Shubai, and his soldiers, are they a good thing?"

"Yongning was burned, how many of our folks died—" Zhu Lian looked at Duan Shubai with fierce eyes, "It was you, if you hadn't led the troops to fight here, those pirates would not have slaughtered the city at all."

"You keep saying it's for us, but it's all your fault. If you don't come, our people and pirates will live in peace for many years, and they won't wantonly kill our parents and sisters."

Zhu Lian pointed at Duan Shubai and cursed: "You are the chief culprit who killed the people of Yongning. If it weren't for your greed, those who died are still alive and well. You killed so many people in Lanqian , you are even more sinful than pirates!"

"Xue Yong, your parents died in Yongning Massacre, do you hate it?"

A tall and thin man stood up behind Zhu Lian, and looked at Duan Shubai with resentful eyes, "It's all your fault, if you don't come, my parents will never die, it's all you!"

"You have killed so many people in Yongning, and now you still want to enslave us to do things and dream like pirates. We people near the sea will never do things for you beasts!"

"Let's fight against them together!"

Zhu Lian picked up a hoe and raised it above his head, shouting loudly. His action attracted the attention of everyone present. Duan Shubai scanned the faces of all present present, and laughed at the funny scene at this time.

Hearing Duan Shubai's laughter, Zhu Lian's eyes almost popped out.

Duan Shubai said in a flat voice: "You say that we killed the people of Yongning, this is really a joke, who killed the people of Yongning? They died under the knives of pirates, you don't want to resent They, on the contrary, put their eyes of hatred on us, and you said it was ridiculous."

Zhu Lian grimaced: "Yes, it's you, it's you, if you didn't stir up the disaster, they wouldn't have died at all, and they all blame you."

There were whispers among the crowd.

"Yes, if it wasn't for them, my cousin would still be alive and well."

"If they didn't fight over, the pirates wouldn't be so angry that they would massacre the city."

"Although those pirates sometimes kill people indiscriminately for fun, but as long as we serve them carefully, our family members are obedient, and they will definitely not kill us."

"Those who don't know the current affairs deserve to be killed."

"Actually, there are good people among those pirates. I saw it with my own eyes before. A girl was hit by 'that' and got several golden melon seeds."

"Hey, that's gold, isn't it developed? The pirates are so generous."

"That's not true, they have a lot of treasures in their hands, as long as you learn to please them, hehehe..."

……

These words suddenly entered Duan Shubai's ears, and the sneer on his mouth became more and more ironic. Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. In such a puddle of ink, there have long been many people whose hearts are more stained than the feathers of crows. To black.

Then he had no choice but to pull out these black feathers with his own hands.

Duan Shubai looked at Zhu Lian coldly, and asked, "Then what do you guys think?"

Zhu Lian said: "We don't want to be forced to work by you, why, why do you treat us as your slaves."

Duan Shubai nodded, "Okay, do I have to enclose a piece of land for you? We don't violate the water of the river."

Zhu Lian was a little dazed, but then said happily: "That's natural, you are our big enemy, and we don't want to accept your control."

Duan Shubai nodded again, "Choose a territory yourself." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd, "Anyone who is not satisfied with us can go with them, our soldiers will never stop us .”

The whispers in the crowd were even worse, and the joy bursting out of the eyes of some people who were unwilling to work could not be stopped.

Zhu Lian shouted loudly: "Shunping Mountain, we want to go to Shunping Mountain!"

Zhu Lian chose a place with fertile land, which is now full of grain. It used to be the place where the pirates asked them to grow grain. In such a fertile land, as long as you sprinkle seeds casually, you can grow strong grain.

Duan Shubai smiled and nodded, "Okay, that place is for you."

Zhang Changle was a little dazed. Shunping Mountain was a rare and good place with fertile land and abundant water. They had already planned how to grow crops.Isn't it a waste to give that place to these people?Thinking of this, he wanted to persuade: "General..."

Zhu Lian interrupted: "You are a general, you must keep your word!"

"There is absolutely no falsehood, it's just..." Duan Shubai's light eyes fell on Zhu Lian, and there was more meaning in his words.

Zhu Lian asked anxiously: "Just what?" He was afraid that Duan Shubai would regret it.

Duan Shubai looked at him with a half-smile: "It's just that it's agreed that the well water will not interfere with the river water. You stay in your own territory, but don't cross the boundary at will. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Fang Da replied excitedly, "That's natural."

They have such a good place, are they afraid that they won't be able to eat well?

Seeing that Duan Shubai really agreed to their request, Fang Da and the others were all beaming with joy, as if the Spring Festival was about to be celebrated, they couldn't wait to ask Duan Shubai to arrange the place for them immediately, and move in early with their luggage. Own territory, live a good life of "freedom and happiness".

Duan Shubai asked Deng Dahai, Zhu Lian and others under his command to go to Shunping Mountain to enclose a piece of suitable land for them. Shunping Mountain is surrounded by yellow fields, and there are mature grains and grasses that have spread to the edge and have not had time to pick them. Zhu Lian and others Seeing the mountain full of grain, the eyes of a mouse seeing Yu Liang appeared.

These people have so much food and such fertile land...Fang Da was fascinated by imagining the good days of free eating and drinking in the future.

Some onlookers who came here with different thoughts, saw this land, and couldn't help but have their own little thoughts.

Should he follow General Duan's command to farm and build roads honestly, or should he stay on such a fertile land to live?

As expected by Duan Shubai, many of the onlookers followed Zhu Lian and the others and moved into Shunping Mountain silently. Presumably, if these onlookers were willing to follow him in a down-to-earth manner, Working and farming, how can I have time to be provoked by Zhulian Fonda and others, leaving farming to come and watch.

Duan Shubai generously gave them a piece of fertile land, and without any falsehood, he even gave them a fruitful rice field, and Deng Dahai went to supervise their relocation.

It was also at this time that Deng Dahai found out that those civilians who he thought were living unsatisfactorily under the hands of the pirates had actually accumulated a lot of gold and silver under their hands...
