There are thousands of bandits, thousands of old, weak, women and children. If they are not resettled properly, problems will easily arise.
By then, the entire Renhua County will definitely be in chaos, and it may also affect the counties adjacent to Renhua County, and even affect the overall situation of Guangdong. Under Li Zhen's management, Guangzhou is booming, and it will definitely gradually drive Guangzhou's economic development. , if something goes wrong at this time, it will obviously not be in line with Li Zhen's positioning.
It is impossible for Li Zhen to leave without solving the bandit problem.
Dong Haichuan showed his temper and said directly: "Sir, the bandits are all common people. Just let them go and let them go back to their homes with their families and go back to farming by themselves."
Long Ao shook his head and said: "Mr. Dong, this is easy to say but difficult to do."
Dong Haichuan immediately said: "If there is any difficulty, it can be solved with just one order."
The corner of Long Ao's mouth twitched slightly, knowing that he could not convince Dong Haichuan.
This old man only thought about letting the bandits go and let them fend for themselves. He did not consider that if the bandits and their families were unable to live, they would probably gather together again and become bandits twice in a row. The bandits When you realize that you can't live as a common people and your thoughts are wild, it will be very difficult to persuade them.
Long Ao looked at Li Zhen and asked again: "Admiral, what do you think?"
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've thought it through."
He took a step forward, with a smile on his face and kind eyes, and said loudly: "Folks, my name is Li Zhen, I am the governor and admiral of Guangdong, and the largest official in Guangdong. I know that it is not your intention to turn into bandits. Because everyone wants to live a peaceful life, and no one wants to tie their head to their belt and live in fear. I understand that you really can't live your life, and you have no choice but to embark on this road."
Li Zhen brought up the topic and directly stood from the bandit's point of view and thought for the bandit's sake.
"Sir, we really couldn't survive anymore, so we went to the mountains to become bandits."
"The adults are wise, the villain was originally an honest and responsible person, but the sky is unfair. The fields passed down by the ancestors were occupied, the ancestral house was occupied, and the family was ruined. The common people went to the county to sue the officials, and the son-of-a-bitch king After Shou accepted the bribe, he not only refused to make decisions for the common people, but also beat them up. The common people had no way out, so they went to Moyun Ridge and became bandits. My family has been a responsible person for generations, and I too I don’t want to bring shame to our ancestors.”
"Sir, you really spoke to the heart of the little man. You are a good man."
…
Among the bandits, voices came one after another.
These bandits had excited expressions on their faces, and they all echoed Li Zhen's words loudly. For most bandits, they really had no way out before they thought of turning into bandits. However, there are also some common people who are brave and originally wanted to do this. Bandits, they also echoed loudly because they wanted to save their lives.
Li Zhen looked around and nodded slightly.
No matter what the situation was, with so many people agreeing, he still had a good start. Li Zhen raised his hands and pressed them down gently. In an instant, all the bandits stopped discussing and looked at each other. He looked at Li Zhen. After all, Li Zhen's words were related to their life, death and future, and these bandits were extremely concerned about them.
The dog-headed military advisor stood aside, surprised that Li Zhen could actually unite people's hearts.
This speed is too fast.
Seeing that the scene had calmed down, Li Zhen continued: "Folks, you are forced to go to Moyunling as bandits. A large part of the reason is that the county magistrate Wang Shou is guarding the country wildly, taking corruption and bribes, and not making decisions for the people. Because Wang Shou and Ren Some people in Hua County colluded, which made it difficult for everyone to live. I have good news for everyone. The county magistrate Wang Shou has been killed by me. I will re-appoint an honest and dedicated official to preside over the government affairs of Renhua County and ensure that the villagers rights and interests.”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a sensation.
Wang Shou is dead.
This county magistrate who did all kinds of evil is actually dead.
When the bandits got the news that Wang Shou had been killed, they cheered and celebrated. Some even cried with excitement, and finally talked about it. This shows the harm Wang Shou caused to these bandits. After the bandits got excited, they changed. In order to express their respect for Li Zhen, they all bowed their hands to thank Li Zhen, and some even kowtowed to express their deep respect.
Wang Shou's death made Shanze gradually identify with Li Zhen and no longer had any resistance.
If the bandits were squatting on the ground before because they were afraid of being killed, and then after hearing Li Zhen understand their words, they slightly agreed. Now that the news of Li Zhen killing Wang Shou has come out, all the bandits agree with Li Zhen from the bottom of their hearts.
When the dog-headed military advisor saw this, he secretly said something was wrong.
Following this trend, the bandits in Moyunling are facing collapse.
But, he couldn't stop it.
Li Zhen continued: "After Wang Shou's death, I will send an honest and upright official to ensure the interests of the villagers. However, I also know that the villagers and their family members living in the mountains will go down the mountain together and lack food and clothing. Don't worry if you lack money to live. The food in Moyunling is enough for everyone to eat for the first half of the year. It can support everyone from planting food to harvesting food this year, and then be self-reliant. The county government will also distribute grain seeds to everyone, replenish cattle, etc. I guarantee that everyone can live on the land, and people who have grievances can go to the county government office to redress their grievances, and I will personally handle your grievances."
After these words were spoken, the bandit's emotions completely boiled over.
These things are the most practical.
There is food, grain seeds, cattle, and the ability to redress grievances, which has satisfied the requirements of the bandits.
All the bandits cheered and celebrated, very happy.
Li Zhen calmed down, knowing that some people were still homeless and had no intention of continuing to work in farming. He raised his hands to calm the people down and said: "Those who are willing to settle down and establish a career in Renhua County, the county government will guarantee your If you don't want to work in agriculture, you can join the army and follow me to fight in all directions. But I want to say that my soldiers are all elites. Don't be cowards. They will undergo arduous training. Even if you follow me to Guangzhou, if you can't hold on Come down, you all understand the result."
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of some of the bandits shone, eager to try.
These people are the backbone of the bandits.
They don't want to farm honestly and have other ideas.
Long Ao watched Li Zhen calmly sorting out the people's problems, and secretly nodded in his heart, admiring Li Zhen's ability. This young admiral was indeed extraordinary. He calmed the people down and solved their future problems with just a few words. , Next, Li Zhen asked the bandits to lead the way, brought out all the bandits' family members, then opened the granary and money bank, and distributed food and money.
At this time, Yang Banhou rushed up with a thousand officers and soldiers.
With the help of Yang Banhou's soldiers, the process was faster and more orderly. The bandits received money and food and went down the mountain one after another. However, those who had grievances and those who wanted to join the army stayed behind.
