Chapter 178 Paul Wu

It has been three months since the Mongolian army penetrated into the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, and the size of their army has expanded tremendously.

The increase in the number of people is mainly various artisans urgently needed on the grassland, as well as healthy women and children, and there are also many newly attached and reorganized troops.For example, Yang Wan's department in Weizhou, Feihu Zhaoxuan's department, Shimabodier's department in Bazhou, Jata Lahun's department in Jeju, etc.

With the help of these people, the Mongolian army has become more and more clear about the movement of the Jin army. For example, the south of Yidu where Wanyan Sala is entrenched, and the division of Guo Ning in Laizhou are indeed as sung by Tuo Lei's servants Like a loach, it shrinks by the sea.

The tens of thousands of people under the control of Dinghai Jiedushi are all busy at the moment, and their minds are not even on the Mongols.

Ever since Guo Ning ordered the implementation of the Baowu Law within five days, the distribution of land, and the realization of military-civilian integration, from Haicang Town to Sanshan Port in Xiyou Town, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians have boiled in more than ten fortresses near the sea. .

For the soldiers and civilians, no matter how vicious the Mongols are, they are still hundreds of miles away. The legendary nightmare may not happen in Laizhou.What is the current key?
It is the Baowu law mentioned by the Jiedushi, and it is the division of land and land that is matched with the Baowu law!

How many times have the people of Shandong been tortured and exploited in these years?Good fields have been abandoned for thousands of miles, people have eaten each other, people who have lost their land have no means of living, and are unbearable to be slaves, and thousands of people have fled on a scale.

Why this is so, the people can't think of much, and they can't see so far. They only know that all this is because they lost their land.For thousands of years, Han children have lived on farming. If they lose their land, they will lose everything and have no way to survive!
Now, the Jiedu envoy said that everyone should be given land, moreover, the land that will not be resold and deprived will be allocated, and a Baowu will be set up. It falls firmly into the hands!

The Jiedu envoy said that the whole matter will only be given five days!

These five days are about life, five days about the future!

In five days, some troubles inevitably occurred.Some were so intense that Guo Ning dispatched guards from the headquarters to suppress them.But most of the time, both parties are willing and there is no embarrassment for each other.

The people discussed it enthusiastically, and they also had the courage to ask the soldiers, which commander under Guo Jiedu's command was kinder, and that one would be easier to talk, and the station of the army and horses would be farther away from the saline-alkali land by the sea .

The soldiers also mobilized all their ingenuity, and some even specially sorted out a pamphlet, summarizing the secret tips for selecting the common people in this Wu.

For example, if the family does not have a mature man, it is a bottomless pit of food consumption. Even if the fields are allocated, they cannot take care of them, and the corporal leader may be required to subsidize them.

If there are only middle-aged men in the family and there are no men, women or children, they are probably not ordinary people and difficult to manage.

There are a lot of middle-aged men in the family, which is even more troublesome. Most of that kind of rich family will turn their backs in this Wu. It is best to report to the superior and order them to separate their household registrations and resettle them separately.

All kinds of items are endless. At the beginning, there were about ten items, but after two or three days, they were expanded to more than 50 items by interested soldiers.

For the vast majority of illiterate and uneducated soldiers, so many precautions have become a headache in itself.

For example, Xiao Mole, the capable general under Zhao Jue's command, is now memorizing these tricks, walking slowly in the camp where the people are temporarily resettled, looking left and right.

Xiao Mole is 30 years old this year. He is an old frontier soldier who joined the army since he was a child.

He has a strong body, his legs have obvious rings, and his walking steps are very heavy. With the steps, the thick black braids and the weapon hanging from his waist are shaking.

Xiao Mole's ancestor was expelled by the Khitan who was forcibly moved to Shangjing by the imperial court due to the Saba Rebellion. Later, he lived with Bohai people and Xi people as nomads for a long time, and became an official after accumulating meritorious service.The status of the official is very low, so Xiao Mole's family was poor when he was young, so he had to rely on shooting and hunting to make up for his family, otherwise he would inevitably suffer from starvation.

When Xiao Mole was 17 years old, he was well-known among the local tribes in Shangjing.In the last years of Mingchang, he was signed to Monan to join the army following the local police. For more than ten years, he watched the Mongols grow bigger step by step, while his companions died in battle one by one.

After Tai'an, the Xiangwen to which Xiao Mole belonged was completely dismantled.Xiao Mole was taken in by Han Renqing, an old Han soldier, so he continued to serve as a soldier with Han Renqing.

After Han Renqing failed at Gucheng Store, Xiao Mole, as one of his few subordinates, was entrusted by Han Renqing to Guo Ning.

Guo Ning did not treat Xiao Mole badly, and made him a bodyguard.After Rui Lin died in battle, Xiao Mole was promoted to be a general, equal in status to Chen Ran.

Xiao Mole was on duty a few days ago, so he didn't care about the selection of private households. Today he was finally free, and Chen Ran grabbed his ears again and told him a lot of tricks before he rushed to the camp.

But he has been in the army for too many years, and he can remember everything in the army, but he can't remember anything outside the army.After looking around, in less than half an hour, he found sadly that the tricks he was chanting had been forgotten, and only the last one was left, which was specially said by Chen Ran:
"Old Xiao, you don't know how to deal with Han people, and you can't read, so it's best to find a scholar who has read books and let him do those chores for you."

"I heard that poverty is the most treacherous, what if he lied to me?"

"You are stupid, if he dares to lie to you, beat him! If you cheat after beating, kill him!"

These words are very reasonable, Xiao Mole remembered.So, when the officer in charge of the camp asked him his requirements, he said, "I want a scholar, and I don't care about the rest."

"As long as you are a scholar, you don't care about the others?" The officer's eyes lit up.

Xiao Mole thought about it, but couldn't think of other tricks, so he said sullenly: "Yes!"

"Yes! Yes!"

The officer turned around and went back to the camp. After a while, he brought out a scholar in his thirties.

The scholar was thin and dark-skinned, his hands were covered with rough calluses.Although it was unkempt and the clothes were a bit torn, it could be seen that the materials used were very luxurious.Around his waist, there was even a colored woven silk sash wrapped around his waist. There should have been some accessories on the silk sash, but the accessories had long since been lost.

The officer pushed the scholar towards Xiao Mole's eyes: "This is the man! His surname is Zhou, and he said that he has studied and attended school, but right now he has no family around him, and no relatives. Xiao Du will ,look……"

Xiao Mole circled around the scholar twice, stretched out his hand, squeezed the scholar's shoulders and back, thought for a while, and then touched his legs carefully.

The scholar's face was not evil, he looked like he could read and write, and he flinched when he stood up, with a sour air.However, with a good physique, he must have strength and be able to farm.

But Xiao Mole was not in a hurry to agree.

During the past few months, he served as Guo Ning's guard.Guo Ning gave lectures to the disciples every night, and Xiao Mole would listen to them whenever he had time.Although they are still vulgar and illiterate, they have actually improved a little bit in terms of literacy, and they are not as illiterate as Chen Ran said.

He took out a skin pouch from his waist, opened it, took out several small wooden plaques with words written on them, picked out two with many strokes, and held them up in front of the scholar: "What is this word?"

"Ahem, this is the word 'death'."

"What about that?"

"Hmm... this word means 'cut'."

Xiao Mole put away the wooden sign with satisfaction, and nodded to the officer in charge of the camp: "Read quickly! He is indeed a scholar! I want to be like this, and he belongs to me!"

That scholar is Zhou Keshan, the leader of the maritime merchants who is entrenched on the east coast of Laizhou, at the foot of Laoshan, in the private port of Fushan Island.

That day in Qutai City, Ye County, he discussed with Xu Ruxian and other influential powers to deal with Guo Ning. Xu Ruxian persuaded all the powerful people, but Zhou Keshan and others were unwilling to participate.So Xu Ruxian was left alone in Qutai City, waiting for the result of the whole event.

As a result, the elite soldiers under Guo Ning's command came and assassinated, captured the entire Qutai City, and killed many of Xu Ruxian's subordinates.

Zhou Keshan is an obedient person, when the city was in chaos, he ran away at an opportunity, but he escaped from Qutai City.However, he didn't go far, and bumped into Han Xuan's headquarters again, and was caught and questioned.

Xu Ruxian's subordinates died all over the place, and at this moment he claimed his identity, God knows how they will be dealt with by the gangsters!Zhou Keshan had no choice but to talk nonsense and fabricated an identity for himself.

Originally thought that Han Xuan had asked, but unexpectedly, the three groups of troops sent by Guo Ning also had the task of gathering people and food and fodder.So Zhou Keshan was dragged to the camp of the common people outside Haicang Town, and became one of the people waiting for the allocation of land.

Zhou Keshan is a powerful sea merchant who has seen the world!Where is he interested in being a shadowy household?

All he could think about was to find another chance to escape, so he tried his best to deny it for several days, just not wanting to be chosen.

But, this Khitan man with a fluffy beard and black braids is actually interested in me?He also looked around twice and touched my leg?
This...could it be said that this Khitan man has that kind of habit?Damn, the Song people in the Southern Dynasties liked that, and the Khitan people in the north also learned it badly?
Zhou Keshan felt bad, and began to regret that he should not show literacy.He covered his buttocks with his backhand, and said with a dry smile: "This...General, the villain doesn't warm the bed for others."
