Duan Wenjun, who had started to doze off, suddenly froze when he heard Chai Jingyun calling him, and woke up from his drowsiness.
Seeing Chai Jingyun and Zhao Dachui looking at him with smiles on their faces, he slowly walked to the center of the high platform.
The crowd below began to stir, and people began to whisper and discuss in low voices.
"Is this the eldest young master of the Duan family? Why does he look so young? Is he really reliable?"
"When did the boss lie to us? Since the boss thinks he is worthy of trust, he must be reliable."
"I have heard that that night, the head of the family just listened to the young master's plan and killed the traitor Tie Hulu."
"Is it true? Why did I hear before that the eldest son of the Duan family is a dandy..."
"You know what the heck! A few months ago, the eldest son of the family was really a dandy. But he got better after being kidnapped by our old master, Xiufeng."
"Yes, yes! I heard it too. After the young master of the Duan family woke up, he was a completely different person. Not only was he outstanding in talent, but he also received guidance from heaven in his dream and became a business wizard."
"The Shao Knife from the Duan Family Restaurant is really strong. It is said that it is even better than the Yujiu Cangyan. It was made by the young master Duan himself."
"Yes, it is said that the new dishes at the Duan Family Restaurant are also the work of the Duan Family Young Master, and they are more delicious than those at Wangjiang Tower!"
"Yes! I've heard that too! I heard that their pork has no fishy smell and is more delicious than lamb and beef."
"Really? Can it be so mysterious?"
"I have also heard that the young master of the Duan family has also done a lot of construction in Duanjiapu. People there, regardless of gender, old or young, as long as they do something, they will be paid more. If they have skills, they can earn several taels of silver a month. .”
"Really? Then if we go there, will we get paid?"
…
While everyone was whispering, Duan Wenjun had already walked to the center of the high platform. He nodded to Chai Jingyun and Zhao Dachui first, then looked at the people below and said slowly, "Since the second young master asked me to say a few words, then I will say a few words." sentence."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Dachui moved his hands up and down, and the people in the square suddenly became quiet.
"Actually, I think that whether it is the officers and soldiers present or the brothers and sisters of Moon Island present, we all have to thank a few people first."
"The first thing I want to thank is, of course, the benevolent current emperor, who issued this imperial edict and agreed to the recruitment of our Moon Island, so that we finally no longer have to fight, and finally turned our hostility into friendship, and can stand together and talk in peace and harmony."
"In fact, I believe that no one here is willing to fight, whether it is the army, or the people of Moon Island."
"Because whenever there is a war, people will die."
"Men are the backbone of every family. When a man dies, who do the women in the family rely on? Who do the elderly parents rely on? Who do the children who have not yet grown up rely on?"
"I believe that our officers and soldiers here are definitely not willing to fight. If it were not for the peace of the world, they would definitely not be willing to come here. If they could live a stable life, hold the hand of their wives, support their parents slowly As you grow older and raise your children, are you willing to wear armor and go into battle to fight?"
"I believe that if the young and old men on Moon Island can live a stable life, hold the hand of their wives, support their parents as they grow old, and raise their children to grow up, no one will be willing to take the risk of becoming a pawn on this island. Bandit!"
Having said this, Duan Wenjun paused slightly.
The square seemed unusually quiet, with many faint cries mixed in.
Many people here were forced into desperation and had no choice but to go to the island.
Although Duan Wenjun only had a few words, he spoke to their hearts.
Yuan Gagon, who had been standing closely behind Duan Wenjun, inadvertently glanced at everyone.
Not only the village soldiers, but also the officers and soldiers brought by Chai Jingyun, as well as the family members of the dark Moon Island below, were all staring closely at Duan Wenjun at this moment.
In fact, many people's eyes were filled with tears.
He knew that Duan Wenjun's words touched the hearts of these people.
If they can live a stable life, who would want to live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife?
Just when Yuan Gonggun was sighing in his heart, Duan Wenjun's words rang out again.
"Of course, we also want to thank the kind-hearted Princess, who understands the sufferings of our Moon Island brothers and sisters and advises the emperor to recruit people; we also want to thank Mr. Chai Er, who works hard and does his best for the recruitment matter; we I would also like to thank Mr. Zhao Da for his ability to overcome all difficulties and find a way out for everyone, so that he made the final decision to recruit people."
"It is precisely because of the efforts of these people that we can gather here happily without having to fight each other today. What they did is an act of kindness, a huge act of kindness."
"This act of kindness not only saved thousands of lives on Moon Island, but also saved thousands of families of our officers and soldiers. Do you think I am right?"
"Yes! Yes!" Everyone in the audience began to respond loudly.
Both the officers and soldiers and the bandits began to become excited.
Chai Jingyun also became excited when she saw the atmosphere in the square.
He waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said loudly, "Everyone, in my opinion, it is Master Duan Wenjun who has the greatest credit for being able to put aside our grudges and quell this war this time. If it weren't for him With all the mediation and ingenuity we have come up with, I am afraid that Mr. Zhao and I will not be able to reach an agreement on recruitment so quickly."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Dachui also echoed, "Yes, Master Duan, if it weren't for you, the thousands of us would probably..."
The words of the two people immediately stunned everyone in the audience.
In fact, they thought that Duan Wenjun was just the young master of Duanjiabao who came to accept their placement.
At most, it may have something to do with Zhao Dachui, and he just wanted to save the lives of the people on Moon Island.
Especially, his mellow words just touched my heart, and I felt that he must have a close relationship with Zhao Dachui.
However, when I heard Chai Jingyun's words, I realized that Duan Wenjun was also Chai Jingyun's man.
In other words, he was the person who helped coordinate between Chai Jingyun and Zhao Dachui, and was the key figure in the recruitment process.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Duan Wenjun a few more times.
The young master from a wealthy family who was about to take them in seemed to be more powerful than what they had heard and imagined.
"Second Young Master, Mr. Zhao, you two have spoken seriously." Duan Wenjun looked at the two of them and smiled.
"Wen Jun, you are too humble!" Chai Jingyun's face suddenly became very solemn. "Not to mention that you helped me coordinate with Mr. Zhao to avoid this war. Just say that you are willing to take in the thousands of people on the island. , willing to vouch for them, which no one else can do. It’s just..."
"Second Young Master, don't worry. Since I have promised to take them in, I have made a complete plan and there will definitely be no problems." Duan Wenjun looked at him and smiled, then turned to the people in the square. He said loudly, "Brothers and sisters of Moon Island, I believe you all know that starting from today, Moon Island will no longer exist. From now on, you will all be a member of my Duan Jiabao. I want to ask, for Duan Jiabao, How much do you know?"
Everyone in the square was stunned and began to whisper to each other again.
