C7 Poor people

However, the members of the Night Wolf Gang had caught him in a fishing net and had relied on Du Xiangyuan's help to save him. This made Du Chengu feel that his subordinates had humiliated him greatly, so now, he was ready to kill these Night Wolf Gang members. Deng Yaorong and Du Zhengyuan had grown up together, so Du Xiangyuan naturally knew Du Chengu's character.

Thus, when he saw Du Chengu rushing towards Chen Jianke, Du Xiangyuan already knew that Du Chengyou wanted to kill Chen Jianke. "So, just as Du Chengu's sword was about to hit Chen Jianke, Du Xiangyuan immediately thrust out his long sword and blocked the sword." Du Zhengyuan, what are you doing? " Du Chengu said with dissatisfaction.

Du Zhengyuan shook his head and said, "It's not easy for these Night Wolf Gang members. Look at their weapons and clothes, I think if they weren't forced into a corner, they wouldn't have ended up like this."

In fact, after seeing the gang members of the Night Wolf Gang in the west of Zhejiang, Du Xiangyuan already knew that these gang members were not professional robbers. After all, the bandits were very tough before robbing.

This Chen Jianke, however, used a tone close to negotiation to get them to take out the silver taels. Moreover, when these Night Wolf Gang members were fighting with Du Chengyu, he could also tell that these Night Wolf Gang members definitely had not killed anyone, because whether it was Chen Jianke or the members of the Night Wolf Gang, they did not have the slightest trace of murderous intent on their bodies.

Hearing Du Zhengyuan's words, Du Chengu didn't say anything else and put his sword back into his scabbard. Du Zhengyuan took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to Chen Jianke, saying, "All of you can leave now. In the future, don't try to rob others." With that, Du Xiangyuan turned around and was about to leave. However, at this time, Chen Jianke suddenly kneeled in front of Du Zhengyuan.

"What are you doing?" Du Zhengyuan frowned and said. Lord, to be honest, we really can't live any longer and that's why we robbed. Today, you not only saved my life, but also gave us money. With this silver, our families will not starve to death. I, I thank my benefactor here. " With that, Chen Jianke continued to kowtow towards Du Zhengyuan.

Seeing Chen Jianke's actions, the other Feral Wolf Gang members also kneeled beside Du Zhengyuan, kowtowing to him. Seeing this, Du Zhengyuan also couldn't help but panic. Du Xiangyuan hurriedly supported Chen Jianke and said, "Chen Jianke, what are you doing? Quickly, get up and get your Feral Wolf Gang members up as well."

Although Chen Jianke wanted to kneel on the ground, but with the help of his battle qi, his strength was naturally weaker than Du Xiangyuan's. Thus, he was directly helped up by Du Xiangyuan. The other Feral Wolf Gang members also stood up. Du Zhengyuan looked at Chen Jianke and lightly said, "Your life? Are you very poor? "

Hearing Du Xiangyuan's words, Chen Jianke said sorrowfully, "To be honest, we haven't eaten for two days." You haven't eaten in two days? Where do you live? Can I come and see you? " Du Zhengyuan said.

Hearing Du Xiangyuan's words, Chen Jianke immediately smiled and said, "Of course you can, it's just that our place is too shabby. I'm worried that my lord has gone." "It's okay, we'll go now. Here, get your Feral Wolf Gang to buy more food for you." Du Zhengyuan put a silver ingot into Chen Jianke's hand.

Seeing that Du Zhengyuan actually gave him money, Chen Jianke was naturally very excited. After that, Chen Jianke ordered several Feral Wolf Gang members to use money to buy food, while Chen Jianke led Du Zhengyuan, Du Chengu, and Cheng Shenghua to the place where they lived.

He Shuncheng was extremely poor, so there were very few beautiful buildings in the city. Under Chen Jianke's lead, Du Xiangyuan discovered that the houses around him were getting more and more shabby. In the end, Chen Jianke brought Du Zhengyuan to a group of houses, and Du Xiangyuan could no longer even describe this place as a house.

This was because the houses here were all built using adobe bricks. Some of the buildings were crooked, as if a gust of wind could blow the houses over. And there was not a tile on top of these houses.

"This is the home of our Feral Wolf Gang." Chen Jianke said with a smile. Glancing at the house he walked into, Du Zhengyuan asked, "Chen Jianke, why are there so many poor people in Hushun City? "I heard that in order to encourage people to come to Hesun City, the Great Wei Empire has declared that they would not collect taxes if they were to cultivate their land there."

From Du Zhengyuan's point of view, the people's poverty was due to the heavy tax payments made by the officials. However, since the Great Wei Empire no longer collected taxes from Shuncheng, the residents of the city would not be poor to such an extent, even if they were poor.

Hearing Du Zhaoyang's words, Chen Jianke sighed and said, "Lord, you don't know, although the Great Wei Empire will not collect taxes in Shuncheng City, and there is also a vast piece of land outside the city. "But we have no way of farming." There was no way to farm? Aren't you all being too lazy? " It seemed that Du ChengNu was still very disgusted with these Feral Wolf Gang members.

Hearing Du Chengu's words, Chen Jianke angrily said, "Are we lazy? Did you see how lazy people can be when they're starving to death? Although the Great Wei Empire had established a city here, it was still filled with Haescata people. A lot of people were killed by the Haskatars because they went to farm. "

"Originally, we had been killed, but we, the people of Peace City, went out to farm. After all, if we go out to farm, some of us will be killed by the Haskatars. But if we don't, we'll all starve to death. So we still went to farm, but just as the crops were about to be harvested, the Haskatta came and burned all our crops. "

"This was the case for the following years. We could not grow a single grain. So no one went out to grow more food. And we can only survive by relying on the Great Wei Empire's help. Originally, he still had a bowl of porridge every day. But during this period of time, because the food from the Great Wei Empire has not been shipped over, we stopped short. "

Hearing Chen Jianke's words, Du Chengu asked in confusion, "Didn't the Great Wei Empire send troops to the city of Shuncheng? With Deng YaoRong here, how could the people of Haskatta City still be so arrogant? " Before Chen Jianke could say anything, Du Zhengyuan directly said, "Lord Deng Yaohong only has three thousand troops. He can defend and follow the city, but it is impossible for him to attack the Haskata people."

"Even if Deng Zhaorong led his army to defeat the Haskatars. But if we, the army of the Great Wei Empire, fight on the battlefield with the Haskatars, we will definitely suffer losses. And if the losses were too great, then the Haskattas would attack the city of Heskata. "Du Zheng, think about it. At that time, will Deng Yaorong still be able to defend Peace City?"

"Strange, the other border cities have never met with such a situation with Shuncheng. There are also many people farming land at the Great Wei Empire's border." Cheng Shenghua said.

"Cheng Shenghua, this is not the border, but the territory of the Haskattans. Back then, the Great Wei Empire established the He Shun City to provide a base of advance for the future expedition into Haskata. It was very important for the Great Wei Empire and Shuncheng. The Haskattans naturally knew how dangerous the existence of the city was to them. "That's why the Haskatars are going to hit the city with all their might."

"You don't have to blame Deng Yaorong. Deng YaoRong only has three thousand soldiers from the Wei Empire. It was already a difficult task for him to be able to protect the He Shun City." "Du Zhengyuan said helplessly." "Yes, we all know that if it weren't for Lord Deng Yaohong, we would have been killed by the Haskatars long ago." Chen Jianke also nodded and said.

At this time, Du Xiangyuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Chen Jianke, if I can only let you eat your fill, would you be willing to join the army?" Soldier? "If we can eat our fill, we, the Feral Wolf Gang, are willing to do so." Chen Jianke said excitedly.

"Alright, Chen Jianke, I want you to do something for me." Du Zhengyuan said with a smile. Just tell me what it is that you want me to do. " Chen Jianke said with a smile. Du Zhengyuan thought for a moment and said, "Chen Jianke, I need soldiers, but right now, I can't have too many under my command. "The maximum is five hundred people, and they can only guarantee food for these soldiers, but they cannot be charged, can you help me?"

Hearing Du Xiangyuan's words, Chen Jianke immediately said confidently, "Yes. In Hushun City, as long as we have enough food, everyone is willing." "Alright, Chen Jianke, you can ask the Feral Wolf Gang to prepare them now. I'll come and find you tomorrow." After Du Zhengyuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

On the way back, Du Zhengyuan asked, "Du Zhengyuan, do you want to use these people as your soldiers?" "Of course, we cannot afford to lack soldiers in the He Xi family. These people, aren't they the best sources of troops for our He Xi family?" Du Zhengyuan said with a smile. That's good, but I'm worried that the garden won't agree. " Du Chengu said worriedly.

"Even the garden doesn't agree? "Du Chengnu, I'm the head of the He Xi family right now, although I don't have any real power, but I think I should have a little power, right?" Du Zhengyuan said with a smile. Du Xiangyuan, it's impossible for your men to become soldiers of the He Xi family. Even if the He Xi family needs troops, Du Yuan will recruit his own men and your men won't be allowed to join the He Xi family. "

Hearing his words, Du Zhengyuan coldly snorted and said, "Then let's give it a try. I'd like to see how capable this garden is." After saying that, Du Xiangyuan did not speak anymore and headed straight for the He Xi family's house in He Shuncheng.
