"Well, Uncle Liu Shan, go to your elder brother and ask for Zhang Xiong's slave contract, and Aunt Liu, make more meat to nourish the body of Zhang Xiong. See how hungry the hero is?" Liu Baiyu could only do it.

I called Liu Shan's family this way, so early in the morning I called him father-in-law, which almost scared Liu Shan into falling ill, so naturally I didn't dare to say it again.

Meat!? As soon as Zhang Xiong heard this word, he burst into tears. Since he lost his land, except for the oil and water during the New Year, how many years have he not eaten meat? Even eggs have not been eaten in more than a year. This is

What a good master, for being so generous and willing to sell your life to such a good master, it would be worth it to die immediately!

Zhang Xiong immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting:

"Thank you Master, for my sake and as your bodyguard, I, Zhang Xiong, will go through fire and water without any hesitation!"

Liu Baiyu hurriedly helped Zhang Xiong up. He didn't know the actual living standards of this era. He was still a little intoxicated. He accepted a strong man in a few words. It seemed that he was still very strong as a bastard!

While waiting for the meal, Liu Baiyu asked Zhang Xiong how many strong men's fighting power could be compared to Zhang Xiong's level.

Zhang Xiong felt that the master appreciated him and wanted to repay him with all his strength, so he naturally did not dare to say nonsense. He thought for a long time before saying:

"Master, what do you say? If you have the same physique as me, if you haven't practiced and just have brute strength, I can fight four by one person. If you have the physique of my sworn brother, I can fight ten by one person. But if it's a life and death fight,

, it just depends on the courage, who dares to attack, martial arts is secondary."

"If I train a hundred people like you, can I defeat an army of a hundred people... bandits?" Liu Baiyu almost said the word "army", but fortunately his mind changed quickly and he changed it to bandits.

"This military formation? It's hard to say. There is a big difference between whether the cavalry has horses or not. Besides, empty-handed, short weapons, and long weapons are all completely different things. And a hundred people? It's hard to say. The important thing is

Formation and the ability to command such an army are beyond the reach of a martial arts man like me!" Zhang Xiong said honestly.

Do I have to find an officer? Or an officer from this era?

What era is it now? Seven years after the Apocalypse, that is to say, the current emperor is still the wise and foolish carpenter. Wei Zhongxian is proud of his power, but will soon die with the Apocalypse. There is a regime called Houjin in Liaodong, that is,

A bandit will be dragged to death by Marshal Mao Wenlong. How can a Ming army officer defect to a guy like him who is not even a country gentry?

Although Liu Baiyu can buy Qi Jiguang's military book from the plane merchant platform, Liu Baiyu doesn't think it's enough to just talk about war on paper without having professional people with practical experience!

But don't worry, next year the Ming Dynasty will be replaced by the so-called Chongzhen, plus the boastful Yuan Dudu. In troubled times, it will only be a matter of time sooner or later. Why should you be anxious? Liu Baiyu smiled lightly when he thought of this.

Why are you in a hurry? You are in a hurry to eat. Seeing the delicious food on the table, Zhang Xiong thought at first that it was the master who ate it himself, so he had to wait for the reward from the master. When he found out that it was all the reward from the master Liu, after a few seconds

I ate it all, and the white flour steamed buns washed the soup and water in, so I ate it without wasting any.

As for Mr. Liu’s consolation that his guards had meat to eat every day, he couldn’t believe it. The guards had meat to eat every day? Those were Long Live Lord’s imperial guards, right?

At the same time, Mr. Zhang’s tenants were awakened by a blast of gongs used only by the Zhang family’s housekeeper.

"Dear tenants and fellow villagers, your debts have been transferred by Master Zhang to his sworn brother, Master Liu! Master Liu is kind-hearted and would like to invite you to dinner and tell me how to repay this debt!"

The housekeeper of the Zhang family was smiling all over his face, as if he had eaten magpie shit. He just told everyone that today at noon, Mr. Zhang became his sworn brother, Mr. Liu, and invited every household in the village to "eat wine" in the village square. This was the first time they met this year.

"Thank you banquet".

"The whole family is coming! Come all!" the Zhang family's housekeeper greeted, "Mr. Liu is so generous. He has prepared a lot of wine and food! They are all good dishes, and I can't even eat them on weekdays!"

Upon hearing this, every tenant farmer in the household had goosebumps on his back. These days, it would never be a good idea for the boss to treat the tenants to a meal. Either they wanted to increase the rent, or they wanted to take away the tenants.

"The whole family is coming! Come all!" the Zhang family's housekeeper greeted, "Mr. Liu is so generous. He has prepared a lot of wine and food! They are all good dishes, and I can't even eat them on weekdays!"

Upon hearing this, every tenant farmer in the household had goosebumps on his back. These days, it would never be a good idea for the boss to treat the tenants to a meal. Either they wanted to increase the rent, or they wanted to take away the tenants.

But who is to blame? Nowadays, refugees and people fleeing from famine are everywhere. These people can just give them food, which is very cheap. To be honest, Mr. Zhang has not increased the rent in the past few years, and it has been very difficult for him not to seize the tenants.

If you have a conscience, look at the tenant farmers in neighboring villages. After being deprived of their tenants, they became homeless and their families became homeless. Aren’t they commonplace?

Although Mr. Liu's family is not a landlord, they are everyone's creditors. If a creditor treats the debtor to a meal, let alone eat, it will only squeeze the life out of his own family.

"I think this is the Hongmen Banquet!" An old man who knew a few words and had some experience in the industry said fiercely.

The question is, so what if we know it’s the Hongmen Banquet? The Zhang family’s housekeeper said again:

"Master Liu saved Master Zhang's life, so Master Zhang said, but Master Liu's face is not to give face to Master Zhang. If you don't give Mr. Zhang face, just fight him out. Master Zhang can't serve you, so you can find land to farm by yourself."

, I won’t give you face if you don’t want it!”

The tenant farmers from each household lamented, knowing that it would be absolutely impossible if they didn't go. Fortunately, when they arrived at the village square, they found that they really wanted to treat guests, and invited a chef who was famous in the county for "booking banquets" to be present in the courtyard.

There was a stove built on top, with baskets of pots and pans and various vegetables, and there was quite a lot of meat. Many women who looked like servants of the Zhang family gathered by the river to wash vegetables, and the fire was blazing in the yard. The meat was being cooked.

The fragrance can be smelled in the whole village. The children in the village are jumping up and down, drooling, eagerly waiting for the teething ceremony in the evening. This kind of day has not happened for several years.

Even the worried adults were all lured to the point of hunger and salivation - they would be full to the point of death anyway! And some of them were lucky enough to think that Mr. Zhang was not a bad person after all, and his...

It wouldn't be bad to be sworn brother, Mr. Liu, right? Besides, since most of the time when entertaining guests, you have to do some work to pay off the debt, and now is the slack season, it's hard to find a place to work, isn't it?

At noon, the whole village, including the elderly and the young, went to the village square, where tables, chairs and benches borrowed from various families had been prepared. There was a sea of ​​people. The aroma of the dishes on the table made the whole village's eyes widen.

The housekeeper of the Zhang family identified Liu Baiyu and said that this was Mr. Liu. Liu Baiyu took the seat of chief with a smile on his face and asked his subordinates to greet everyone to their seats. Liu Baiyu's fair complexion was quite good-looking in this era. Several older girls looked at it.

He blushed at this, but thinking that his status was too low, he had to bow his head and remain silent. Liu Baiyu said some more formal remarks and ordered the banquet to start. Of course, Liu Baiyu also emphasized the serious words he said after the meal.

You have to eat before you are decapitated! What’s more, although there is not much meat on the table, the stale rice will keep you full. These days, everyone can only eat wild vegetables and grains to make a full meal. With such delicious food in front of them, who can care about the Hongmen Banquet?

What kind of medicine was being sold? Every one of them, men, women, old and young, seemed to be starving to death, devouring everything like a storm. In a moment, the cups and plates were in a mess. A few half-year-old children simply took the oil soup at the bottom of the plate and mixed it with rice.

After eating bowl after bowl, their stomachs were bulging and they were almost exhausted. The housekeeper of the Zhang family quickly ordered someone to bring vinegar to them, so that nothing happened.

Seeing that everyone was full and full, Liu Baiyu brought up the topic. The debts owed by each family could not be paid for the time being. However, Mr. Liu had to do whatever work he wanted from the village. There was no question about strange things. Labor

Pay off debts.

None of the old people in the village believed Liu Baiyu's words. In their opinion, this was just a new trick used by rich people to harm farmers.

But no one dares to say "no" now. The debt notes in Liu Baiyu's hand with one cent of monthly interest are life-threatening. No one dares to say "no". Tomorrow Mr. Liu will send someone to collect the debt and they will be able to cash it out.
Chapter completed!
