outside the city.
On a green grassland, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are grazing leisurely.
The people responsible for keeping them are some cavalry armed with weapons, and their real owners are not here.
Not far from this grassland, there are large undulating slopes one after another. To be more precise, they are some low hills.
Under the low hill, a large group of people, numbering two to three thousand people, gathered. It was difficult to spot them without looking carefully.
These people were all dressed in rags, and many of them were barefoot, just like a group of savages.
But there was light in their eyes, and they all stared intently at the figure standing in front of them.
The man was wearing a black robe, with three-dimensional facial features and piercing eyes, and was talking loudly.
"This is Wuqiuping, with lush water and grass, suitable for grazing. From now on, everyone can graze cattle and sheep here. After grazing the cattle and sheep, everyone can go home to rest."
"I have arranged for people to build your houses. Today, some of you can have a house of your own."
…
This young man in black is Wang Cheng, and these "savages" in front of him are also members of the Shanze tribe.
Wang Cheng brought these people back to Nanli and did not let them go, but stayed with them all the time.
It’s impossible not to do this!
These Yamazawa people now only recognize him. If he were any other person, they might cause a riot.
The Shanze tribe no longer doubted the authenticity of Wang Cheng's speech, because the facts were before them. What was there to doubt?
At this moment, several carriages arrived, with large wooden barrels placed on the carriages.
Everyone was curious about what was in these barrels, and the strong aroma immediately made them realize what it was.
"Ugh (smell)!"
"An (eat)!"
…
Seeing that these people were almost crying, Wang Cheng smiled and said: "You guys probably haven't eaten my Da Zhou's food. Give it a try and see if it suits your appetite."
He immediately asked the soldiers driving the cart to bring down the food and give everyone a portion.
The rice is rice, and the dishes are the standard two meat and two vegetarian dishes, plus an egg drop soup.
The food was much better than what the army usually ate, and even the soldiers responsible for delivering the meals were envious.
Not to mention the people of the Shanze tribe, have they ever seen such a rich and delicious meal?
I didn’t even care about what utensils to use, and I didn’t know how to use them, so I just grabbed them with my hands.
Everyone's mouths were full of oil after eating, and they kept mumbling, nothing more than "delicious" and the like.
Although there is no shortage of beef, mutton, and fresh vegetables in the Sapa area, there is a shortage of condiments!
It's the same beef and mutton, but one can roast it, and the other can fry, fry, and stew. Can the taste be the same?
Seeing his men swallowing saliva, Wang Cheng smiled and said, "You guys eat too!"
Upon hearing this, several soldiers immediately took action.
Wang Cheng was not idle either. While everyone was eating, he continued: "Brothers of the Shanze Department, actually, you don't have to be wary of our Zhou people. Hundreds of years ago, you were the same as the Zhou people now. , they are all members of the same country!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still eating suddenly stopped moving.
Wang Cheng looked at the Shanze people and explained: "More than a thousand years ago, there was no country in this land, and everyone lived a life of slash-and-burn farming until King Wu appeared."
"He established the first country in this land, which is now the Great Zhou Dynasty. But this land was too big for him to manage by himself, so he divided his children and heroes and gave them titles and asked them to replace them. He governs the people.”
Everyone listened with rapt attention, even his brothers.
Although they were from the Zhou Dynasty, they had little education and did not know much about this period of history.
However, what surprised them was that their general was clearly speaking the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could the people of Gaoshan understand it?
How did they know that Wang Cheng used his mind power when speaking. This was a conscious communication, so there was no language barrier.
"As far as I know, Zhou Yong, the thirteenth son of King Wen, was enfeoffed in Gaoshan. Thousands of years have passed, and his blood is flowing in each of you." Wang Cheng added.
As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded.
"Ritsara (real or fake)?"
"Rite Sa La (real or fake)?!"
…
Wang Cheng stretched out his hand and pressed it, and said: "These are all true. There are records about this period of history all over the world."
He knows so much, naturally from the classics in the Martial Arts Pavilion of Ninghou Mansion.
However, what he said is somewhat inconsistent with that period of historical records.
Zhou Yong, the thirteenth son of King Wen, was indeed enfeoffed near the mountains, but at that time the mountains were uninhabitable. It rained and snowed all year round, making it a veritable no-man's land.
Therefore, Zhou Yong's fiefdom was closer to today's Shuzhou, which was the "Land of Abundance".
As for whether the blood of the Zhou family really flows in the bodies of these Shanze tribe people, who knows?
Anyway, there is no genetic screening here. Whether they have the same bloodline or not is just a matter of words.
However, Wang Cheng's goal has been achieved. As long as these Shanze tribe people have a sense of belonging, this will solve the biggest problem of getting along with different tribes.
In fact, Wang Cheng can certainly solve these people violently, but that is by no means the best solution.
Although he is not too old, he has experienced too many lives and deaths and has seen too many tragedies in the world, so he knows very well how difficult life is.
To stop fighting and make the opponent surrender without using force, this is the real martial arts.
This conversation lasted from morning to afternoon.
Wang Cheng was almost speechless, but the effect was very obvious. These Shanze people gradually put aside their grudges and dared to joke in front of him.
3pm.
A fast horse galloped forward. When it approached Wang Cheng, a cavalryman jumped off the horse.
He trotted all the way to Wang Cheng, knelt down on one knee, and saluted: "General, hundreds of houses have been built near the wild duck pond. Zhu Sima asked me to report to you!"
"good!"
Wang Cheng slapped his thigh, stood up from the ground, and said happily: "Zhu Guoao has indeed lived up to my high expectations. He has already accomplished such a big thing in just one day!"
He then told the news to all the Shanze tribe members. After hearing the news, the Shanze tribe members were completely heartbroken.
"Brothers from Yamazawa, due to time issues, we have only built a hundred houses, but I hereby promise that in five days at most, all families will have houses to live in!"
Wang Cheng looked at the expectant eyes of everyone and said: "There are only a hundred houses, and we have 512 families, so 412 families cannot get a house today. I mean, first Let the elderly and children stay, and we, the young and strong, can spend one or two nights in the tent, what do you think?"
Of course, the Shanze tribe had no objections, and even saw Wang Cheng's "merciful" side from this incident.
So, Wang Cheng selected a hundred households with elderly people and children from this group of people.
However, when leaving, hundreds of Yamazawa people insisted on following. They all wanted to see what the renovated house looked like.
Wang Cheng did not refuse, and immediately led thousands of people to the "Wild Duck Pond".
Of course, before leaving, he also made a lot of arrangements and ordered hundreds of cavalry to be stationed here.
In name, it was to protect the Yamazawa tribe, but in fact it was to prevent them from escaping.
In addition, the tens of thousands of cattle and sheep require a large number of people to watch. If they run away or are captured by others, it will be great fun.
evening.
Wang Cheng led everyone on a two-hour journey and finally arrived at the "Wild Duck Pond".
The originally dilapidated mallard pond has completely changed.
I saw that there were a hundred brand new houses around the duck pond. Although the main bodies were made of wood, they had been covered with thick mud.
After the mud dries completely, it won't be as good as a brick wall, but it can still be preserved for twenty or thirty years.
Zhu Guoao's hands and face were dirty. When he saw Wang Cheng arriving, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Sir."
Then there is no more.
Wang Cheng smiled. Zhu Guo proudly was really awesome. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Proud proud, you did a good job this time!"
Zhu Guoguo scratched the back of his head, with a smile uglier than crying.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to utter a few words.
"Sir, it's best to dry out the house for a few days before you live in it. You should live in it now. The humidity is too high and it's not good for your health."
"I know."
Wang Cheng nodded, but he didn't have much time to wait, because the Shanze tribe members were already rushing to the houses one after another.
In the past, they lived in tents or even caves. Many of them had never seen such houses, but this did not prevent them from thinking that these were good houses.
"This will be the case here in Wild Duck Pond for now. There are still three places where you and the brothers need help. We are also building a house like this. If you have any problems, just come to me." Wang Cheng said.
Zhu Guoguo said seriously: "Yes!"
Wang Cheng patted his shoulder and let out a long sigh of relief. After being busy for several days, he was finally able to go back and rest.
…
A secret room.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, with only a desk, a chair, and a bronze lamp.
At this moment, there were two people standing in the room.
One person was wearing a black robe, with a tall and straight posture and an extraordinary bearing, standing with his hands behind his back.
One person was wearing a black outfit, with a black face and eagle eyes, and his temples were bulging high.
"My subordinates have found out that the Nanli garrison has been making frequent moves these days. In fact, it is all to deceive others. Wang Cheng has captured many savages from the Gaoshan Kingdom and has been enclosing land and building houses for them these days."
"The savages from the High Mountain Country? There are no human settlements in the south of the mountains. Where did he find the savages from the High Mountain Country?"
"It must be that a group of savages who attacked Nanli that night were captured and their hiding place was revealed, so Wang Cheng led his troops to kill them all!"
"That's how it should be."
"Then should we send a message to the west and ask them not to act rashly for the time being?"
"Don't spread the news yet. We have probably alerted the enemy this time."
"yes!"
"However, we can't let this Polu general be too idle. We have to find something for him to do."
