Chapter 7 Settle refugees and recruit Nanxia Zhanzhao!
Returning to this familiar yet unfamiliar home, Liu Hao felt very strange and was ready to take a walk around the Liu Mansion first.
Halfway through the game with great interest, he suddenly noticed a problem and asked with a frown: "Uncle Cao, the guard force in our yard seems to be a little weak."
According to his observation, among the entire Liu family's servants, there were only about fifty soldiers, which was not enough to guard such a large house.
Cao Zhengchun hurriedly bowed and said: "My lord, he is as sharp as a torch and thoughtful. In recent years, the Yellow Turbans have been in chaos. Although they were wiped out by the imperial court, the remnant soldiers fled to various places and turned into bandits. There is a group of strongmen on the hilltop not far away.
While plundering merchants, the old slave is preparing to recruit some strong soldiers to protect the master Zhou Quan."
Liu Hao nodded, still feeling a little regretful: With his current family background, he was considered a wealthy family, but being able to recruit a family of five hundred soldiers would be a big deal.
To achieve great things in troubled times, money is an inevitable problem.
The next thing to consider is the issue of making money.
When it comes to making money, the most profitable person in this era is the emperor. He sold his official position and received an unknown amount of money.
Even the eunuchs who served in the palace were all extremely fat and wealthy, and could rival the country.
"Master, it's not good, it's not good, there is a large group of refugees outside the door."
While Liu Hao was thinking about it, a maid hurriedly ran in from outside. She was panting and almost tripped in her panic.
When Liu Hao heard about the refugees, his heart tightened, he held her arm and asked hurriedly: "How many people are there?"
The refugees in this era were all poor people who did not have enough to eat. Once they were desperate, they would end up becoming bandits.
So Liu Hao was still a little wary.
The maid blushed and said coyly: "Master, I didn't see clearly. There are probably hundreds of people."
"Go and call General Manager Cao, gather all the soldiers, and go out to take a look. By the way, you go make some porridge first."
Liu Hao solemnly ordered, and the maid took the order and went quickly.
Not long after, Liu Hao opened the door with Cao Zhengchun and Liu's family soldiers.
With a creak, the vermilion door opened. Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Hao couldn't help but take a breath.
I could see many people standing densely outside, old and young, all of them looking good, as if they hadn't eaten in several days.
"Ding, the host has triggered a mission to resettle the refugees. The mission reward is a pot of Baihua Fairy Brew."
Baihua Fairy Brew: A king-level treasure, it gathers the essence of hundreds of flowers, the purest and most yin, and condenses the nectar of heaven and earth. It has the effect of preserving the appearance for ten years. When the user is over twenty-eight years old, the appearance will be directly reduced by ten years.
"A king-level treasure? For women, this is simply a heaven-defying elixir!"
Liu Hao's heart moved.
The mission rewards of the Overlord system are indeed not stingy.
At this time, the naked refugees outside were bustling and bustling. When they saw their master going out, they were very excited and muttered: "The yellow turban thieves are in chaos. We are homeless. Please give us a bite of food!"
The scene was in chaos. Cao Zhengchun was furious and shouted: "You untouchables, you are homeless and have nothing to do with my master. You dare to rush into the lord's house. You deserve to die!"
He was about to take action when he disagreed, but it was Liu Hao who held him back.
Liu Hao stretched out his hands and pressed them, as if there was a deterrent force, forcing the refugees to stop the chaos and look up at him.
Liu Hao asked in a condensed voice: "Is there a leader among you who can speak out?"
There was a burst of recommendation from the crowd, and sure enough a leader came out, a little old man. Next to him stood a young man and a woman.
The woman has a delicate appearance, and the young man is tall, wearing tattered clothes, and has very strong arms. When Liu Hao saw this young man, he couldn't take his eyes away. He was also excited in his heart: If this is not Zhan Zhao, who is it?
Thinking of Zhan Zhao who the system said would take the initiative to take action, Liu Hao already had a clue in his mind.
"May I ask my father-in-law your name?"
Liu Hao put on an approachable attitude, supported the little old man and asked.
The little old man was so flattered that he didn't even dare to say so. He pulled Zhan Zhao and the woman beside him to kneel down on the ground, bowed his head and said: "The old slave's name is Zhan Huan. He is from Qingzhou. It turned out to be a restaurant.
As a shopkeeper, I encountered a rebellion by the Yellow Turban bandits. The thieves rushed into the county town and wiped out all my family assets. I had no choice but to flee with the villagers. "
"This is Lao'er's nephew from my clan. His name is Zhan Zhao, also known as Xiongfei. This is Lao'er's daughter Zhan Yun. Zhan Zhao, Zhan Yun, you have all come here to meet the master."
The little old man took the two of them and bowed again, and said cautiously: "I heard in the county that the master of the Liu Mansion wanted to recruit servants, so he specially brought the villagers to join him. Unexpectedly, there were too many people coming.
"
Seeing some embarrassment on his face, Liu Hao chuckled and helped several people get up, saying: "It's okay, Warrior Zhan, Miss Zhan, you get up and talk first."
Sensing the earnest pleading looks in everyone's eyes, Liu Hao said unhurriedly: "The mansion does need to recruit servants, but we won't need so many."
The little old man Zhan Heng hurriedly prostrated, kowtowed a few more times, and begged: "In that case, please accept my daughter and Xiong Fei. Little old man, I and the villagers will go to Luoyang to seek life."
Liu Hao shook his head and laughed: "How can it be possible for Luoyang to allow large-scale refugees to enter the important city of Luoyang? Mr. Zhan is too fanciful."
This is true. The most indispensable thing in the world today is homeless refugees. It is impossible for these hundreds of refugees to enter the city of Luoyang at the feet of the emperor. They cannot even enter the cities near Luoyang. They will be directly destroyed.
The garrison was blown away.
Zhan Heng's face was ashen, Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "Master, Zhan is proficient in martial arts. If the master can take in my relatives, I am willing to do my best and die for the master!"
In this era, warriors attached great importance to their promises, and there was also a saying that a thousand pieces of gold would equal a promise. Since Zhan Zhao said such words, there is no need to doubt the authenticity.
"Hey, you were originally in my bowl."
Liu Hao squinted his eyes and smiled, but he had a look of embarrassment on his face, and sighed softly: "Zhan Zhanzhuang, please come up quickly. How can Liu be so virtuous? I just compare my feelings with others, but I can't bear to see so many people displaced. Now
I have an idea, let’s talk to Mr. Zhan about it.” ..
