In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

This is good. What Luo Xi lacks most right now is labor: "Okay, Yin Li, when the time comes, make the meal more substantial so that people will have the strength to work after they are full."

"Yes, Boss." Yin Li responded.

However, unlike the villagers' joy, Luo Xi had some hidden worries.

She turned her gaze secretly to Rong Bai.

Originally, they all lived in the villa, so if they were surrounded by the government, it would be easy, but now...

It would be very troublesome if Rong Bai turned his attention to these villagers scattered everywhere.

Rong Bai didn't know what was going on. According to the information obtained by Honglou, the County Magistrate's Office had asked him to find a way to capture him.

But this guy enjoyed being a servant under her nose every day and never got tired of it, with no signs of taking any action.

When Luo Xi thought of this, he naturally told the villagers about this possibility.

Unexpectedly, when Wu Lizheng heard this, he was not afraid at all and became full of fighting spirit.

"Don't worry, Boss. We have already planned this." He said, "We have been tolerating this bastard County Magistrate Rong Bai for a long time."

"Even if we don't become bandits, we have already prepared to fight the corrupt officials. Rather than being captured and killed in a foreign land, it is better to fight them to the death in our hometown."

"Since the dog officials won't let us live, he can't expect to have an easy life either."

"Yes, don't even think about having an easy time." The villagers looked angry.

Rong Bai: "..."

I said he didn't want to arrest anyone. He didn't want to arrest anyone.

Luo Xi glanced at Rong's face, which was changing from white to black and then blue, and planned to tell him something shocking to see if he could still sit still: "Okay, since you guys have the guts, I will lend you a helping hand."

"In the future, you can take half a day to come and train with the soldiers. When you are equipped with some weapons, I promise that you can definitely beat the dog, county, magistrate..."

She glanced at Rong Bai meaningfully: "He and his minions beat him up and made him cry for his parents."

Weapons? The villagers were even more excited, waving their fists and shouting, "Good! Good! Beat the dog Guan Rongbai until he cries for his parents!"

Rong Bai: "..."

I don’t want to talk anymore.

Xiao Yi, who had just gotten rid of the heat from training, stood aside and laughed secretly.

Get excited and shout!

Just don’t be like a dead dog in the future.

These people who were used to being bandits couldn't stand the devilish training of the boss. These villagers, tsk tsk...

Luo Xi waited until they had vented their anger for a while before reaching out and pressing them down: "Okay, be quiet."

In an instant, all the voices disappeared, and everyone looked at Luo Xi expectantly.

"Since we are all family from now on, you naturally should not miss out on any benefits I have," Luo Xi said.

"You saw it too." She pointed to the vegetables growing all over the mountains and the green wheat fields.

"I have a special seed here that is particularly drought-resistant and heat-resistant. It can grow well even if there is no rain or not much water."

Here it comes. The light in the villagers' eyes became brighter and brighter as Luo Xi spoke.

In fact, they decided to come here after observing for a long time and finding that crops could indeed be grown in Chaoyang Villa with little or even no rain.

They were just common people. Who became the emperor or the county magistrate had nothing to do with them. They just wanted to have something to eat and to survive.

And now, Chaoyang Villa is the best choice.

Now, they haven’t even figured out how to start the conversation. Is the boss going to make their dreams come true?

Sure enough, the next moment, Luo Xi said: "As long as the people who join Chaoyang Villa register, they can come and get the seeds, all for free."

"However, when the harvest comes, I will collect taxes here, just... 30% tax. Those who agree can take it, and there is no room for negotiation if you don't agree."

At this point, Luo Xi's attitude was very tough.

But no one objected to this tough attitude. Instead, they were so happy that their mouths were stretched to their ears, and they laughed and said, "Only, only 10% tax? My God, isn't this too little?"

"Yes, it is very little. The imperial court charges 10% of the tax, not including other taxes."

"Well, well, Boss, are there other taxes? Head tax..." they asked in a low voice.

Luo Xi waved his right hand: "No, just this one."

"Moreover, if you are willing to join the army, not only will you have food and lodging, but you will also receive thirty kilograms of food and five taels of silver every month."

Luo Xi also did some propaganda by the way. Since he had decided to go against the court, the more armed forces he had, the better.

"What? There are so many benefits to joining the army." The villagers were excited again.

They had people who were forced to join the army by the imperial court before, but they were all given 20 taels at once, and then another 20 taels when they came back. If it was...

If you die in battle, you will only get 40 taels of pension, and you won't even be able to bring back any relics.

"This is too kind, Boss. I have many sons but not much land. I only need to keep two of them and send the rest to join the army."

"You are so proud. Who doesn't have a son? I have five children in my family, so I can spare three."

"I don't have many sons, but don't be complacent. I have many grandchildren, and the total number is no less than the number of males in your family."

……

Before I knew it, I had gone off track.

Luo Xi: "..."

"Okay, I know you all have many sons, so there's no need to compare."

The villagers felt embarrassed.

Luo Xi waited patiently for them to calm down, then pointed at Yin Li next to him and said, "As for receiving seeds and joining the army, come and register with him."

"He is the military advisor of my Chaoyang Villa. His last name is Yin Li. He will be in charge of this matter from now on."

Yin Li was stunned.

Then he smiled, lifted his clothes, knelt down solemnly and saluted, "Yes, Boss."

Luo Xi was startled by him. This man had been in the villa for so long, but he had never seen him kneel before. Every time he just bent over and bowed.

This is, finally I recognize her.

Luo Xi hurried over and gave him a support on the arm: "Military Advisor, no need to be so polite. From now on, we must work together for the future of Chaoyang Villa."

The smile on Yin Li's face became even bigger: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the boss."

Xiao Yi suddenly felt mixed emotions.

The common people didn't care about these twists and turns. They greeted Yin Li with a smile: "Meet the military advisor. Thank you for your help, military advisor."

Suddenly, Yin Li was overwhelmed by the people.

Seeing this, Luo Xi curved his eyebrows upwards and waved to Zhou Cang and the others, "Let's go and see the wheat fields."

Rong Bai was slow to catch up. He stood there looking at the people in a daze. It took him a while to catch up.

But when he saw the wheat in the fields growing better than usual, his mood became even more complicated.

The pork stewed with cabbage was so complicated that I had no mood to eat a few bites. After work, I hurried back to the county government office.

Li Jin was startled by him and quickly followed him into the main hall and asked, "Sir, is Luo Xi making any moves again?"

Rong Bai nodded, but did not mention what happened in the villa today. Instead, he said calmly: "Uncle Li, I have decided. I will take the Rong family and join Chaoyang Villa as bandits."

Li Jin: "..."

My head is buzzing.
