They, the small farmers, basically have no interaction with these government officials, and even if they do, they have little interaction with each other.
It couldn't have been in the middle of the night. At this time, an old man who seemed to be highly respected walked out of the crowd.
"Sir, please tell me why you are ringing this bell late at night. I am the mayor of this village. If you have anything, you can tell me."
After the old man came out, he saluted Xun Yu and asked.
After all, as the head of this village, he must be the one to negotiate whatever happens.
"You are the village chief here, right? I am the chief official of this new city. My name is Xun Yu. There is already a war at the port in front. The enemy will come tomorrow morning, and then this village will not be safe.
.”
"And our soldiers will use this village to fight against the enemy, so I would like to ask you to evacuate this place as soon as possible."
When Xun Yu saw that this man was the village chief, he stated his request and then waited for the village chief's reply.
After Xun Yu finished speaking, the villagers also talked about it one after another. After all, they had no idea that a war was about to begin, so they really didn't expect it.
"Your Excellency, are you kidding us? There hasn't been a war in our area for many years. Even if there has been, the fighting has basically ended near the port. How could it be here? Your Excellency must be joking.
.”
After listening to this, the old man also felt that what Xun Yu said seemed a bit unbelievable, so he directly expressed his attitude. He felt that Xun Yu was deceiving him.
"This village chief, I am indeed not lying to you. If you don't believe it, you can send young people from the village to find out the situation near the port."
"You can still see the remains of the enemy at the port. And I have to go to the next village as soon as possible to evacuate the villagers, so I can't delay you for too long. I hope that the village chief can appease the villagers as soon as possible and let them
Evacuate together."
"You can take away the livestock at home, but take away other items that can be taken away. If you can't take them away, just leave them here. When the war is over in the future, I will definitely compensate the villagers."
Xun Yu saw that the village chief didn't seem to believe it and was a little anxious, so he could only explain to the village chief what was going on as soon as possible.
Moreover, he thought that there were dozens of villages behind him. If every one of them was like this, then it would probably be dawn by the end.
If this happens, it will definitely delay the plans of Zhang Liao and Zhou Yu. In this case, Xun Yu will be a sinner, and he will never allow this to happen.
When Xun Yu came to his first village, he just exchanged a few words with the village chief when Xun Yu discovered a fatal problem.
That is, his current work efficiency is too slow. After all, if negotiations continue from village to village, it will definitely be unknown by the end.
It is very likely to delay the work progress of Zhang Liao and Zhou Yu, and if this is the case, it will slow down the pace of the entire war.
It is very likely to have a very negative impact on them, so Xun Yu must find a way to speed up the progress.
But there is no way, communication cannot be urgent, and the more urgent you are, the more problems will arise, just like in this village now.
Now the village chief thinks that Xun Yu is lying to them, so he basically has no intention of retreating at all, and these villagers are all talking here.
I didn't treat this matter as an urgent matter.
After Xun Yu saw this situation, he was very anxious. After all, he really couldn't spend too much time here.
"Village Chief, don't think about it anymore. I really didn't lie to you. There will be a war soon, if you continue to stay here."
"It is very likely that all the villagers in the village will be in danger tomorrow, and it will also slow down everyone's progress. I'm afraid none of us will end well by then."
Xun Yu now felt a little impatient when he saw that the village chief was still having such discussions with the villagers here.
After all, time is so precious. If it takes them so long to get to a village, then by the time everything is done, the day lilies may be cold.
After hearing Xun Yu's urging, the village chief also hurriedly walked towards Xun Yu.
"Sir, since you are Lord Xun Yu, then we believe what you say. Since you want us to move, then even if we leave the land and houses given by our ancestors, we will definitely leave."
"This will ensure that you will defeat all these enemies. This will also ensure our safety. We sincerely support you and the Wei Kingdom."
Xun Yu originally thought that this matter must be very troublesome, but he did not expect that things would suddenly turn around for such a good turn.
He really didn't know that his reputation would be so useful in the surrounding villages. All these villagers actually loved him very much.
"Old man, do you really believe me? Are you afraid that I am lying to you?"
Xun Yu's eyes were filled with tears at this moment. He really didn't believe that these villagers could be so kind to him.
Because he felt that none of the things he did were due to his strenuous support, and everything was what he should do.
And these villagers actually supported him and loved him so much for this, which really made him feel flattered.
"My lord, you may not know that before you came here, every local magistrate would impose taxes on us. But after you came, instead of imposing taxes on us, you created many problems for us.
Less convenience.”
"It also allows these good young men in our village to earn more money to marry and support their families. Even if they really come to fight, you will personally come to the door to persuade them with kind words."
"If it were the previous official, I'm afraid he would just open the door of our home, capture all of us and throw them to other places. Compared with them, you are simply the master of Qingtian."
"How could we not love you and support you? We will definitely abide by your orders, and don't worry. The neighboring villages all have very good relations with us."
"We can ask our villagers to help you persuade the neighboring villages to evacuate as soon as possible. As for compensation or not, we will wait until the war is over."
When the village chief saw how excited Xun Yu was, he stepped forward and explained to Xun Yu.
Why do they believe in Xun Yu so much? The reason why they do this is indeed because the policies implemented by Xun Yu after he came here are indeed very benevolent and righteous.
And people like them have actually benefited a lot. After all, at this time, it can be said that human life is really worth less than grass.
Ordinary people like them, no one cares about their life or death at all, so every local official who came before them didn't treat them as human beings at all.
