"Hahaha, don't be embarrassed, His Highness said, no one can stop us people from pursuing a better life!" Captain Wang laughed a few times before speaking seriously.
"Your Highness said it well!" One person couldn't help shouting, "We also want to live a good life!"
"That's right!" Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
"That's right, there's nothing we can't say. Your Highness asked us to chat with you this time. This is actually what he means, so that you don't have to worry about not having a job in the future! His Highness said, he is just afraid that there will be insufficient manpower in the future! Don't worry about food, we have enough. , Think about it, how many people are there in the entire Xizhou? It’s nothing to the entire Tang Dynasty." Captain Wang said with a smile.
When everyone thought about it, indeed, their previous worries seemed to be nothing to the entire Tang Dynasty. When everyone thought about it, everyone was instantly relieved.
In fact, they have no idea how much output the Tang Dynasty has or how much grain it has.
"Then we will start moving together tomorrow." Another person said.
"That's good. Also, in order for us to have the latest news to inform everyone in the future, twenty of your families will form a small village. I will first appoint one person, Tie Hammer, to be the village chief of your small village. After you have adapted for a period of time, you can choose a village chief yourself." Captain Wang said with a smile.
"This... I can't do it." Tie Zhui was stunned, waved his hands quickly, and stuttered.
"Hey, you can just come with the hammer. Why are you refusing? His Highness thinks highly of you when he uses you. Besides, we are all the same. If you can't do it, neither can we." An older man said. .
"Yes, that's right. Just answer the hammer."
"Then...then I'll do it in front of you." Tie Hammer was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed.
"Then it's decided. In addition to these, there is one more thing. Your Highness just wants to hear your past stories. Of course, you don't have to tell them if you don't want to. The main reason why Your Highness wants you to tell these is because you have been subjected to After hearing the bullying of those nobles, His Highness will manage Xizhou in the future, and he wants to try his best to avoid these things!"
"His Highness said that we must learn from the mistakes of the past. I know that this is revealing the sadness in everyone's heart, and even the pain that many people will never forget in their lives, but His Highness hopes that we can face these sorrows. Only then can we This can prevent these things from happening again." Captain Wang said softly.
Captain Wang's words made everyone fall silent. None of them had been oppressed at all. The atmosphere became quiet for a while. After a long time, Tie Zhui suddenly said: "I'll go first. In fact, Captain Wang... I was there before Mule." , and an eldest son..."
As the sound of the hammer began to slowly narrate, a sad atmosphere began to fill the air. In fact, this was a very common thing that almost often happened on the grassland.
Iron Hammer's real eldest son was probably four years old when he was playing on the grassland. One day, a nobleman from Tuyuhun passed by. His son accidentally frightened the nobleman's horse and almost knocked the nobleman off his horse.
Then the nobleman whipped his son twice with a riding crop. After whipping his son hard, he stamped on his son's chest hard, breaking several of his son's breastbones and making his son vomit blood. He left with his guards.
At that time, Tie Zhui covered his mother-in-law's mouth and hid in the felt tent and did not come out, because he knew that if they came out to stop her, the result would be that all three members of the family would die!
After the nobleman left, his son died before the third day.
Having said this, the old man Tie Hammer couldn't help crying, and from the felt tent behind them, the suppressed cries of Tie Hammer's wife also rang through the night sky.
"It's... I'm useless... I can't save my son." Iron Hammer cried and said.
Captain Wang was silent and reached out and patted his shoulder and whispered: "Cry, cry, just cry. No one will dare to do this again. His Highness will make the decision for you in the future."
"Actually, I have a similar experience..." Another man spoke.
As everyone narrated one by one, the atmosphere here became more sad. Although all the elders couldn't help crying, Captain Wang's eyes also turned red.
I just don’t know why. Although it is a sad thing, after telling it, everyone feels much better, and something called hope is constantly growing.
"It's good for everyone to speak out. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, just tell me that as Xizhou gradually becomes normal, His Highness cannot guarantee that such a thing will not happen, because no one knows which People suddenly become bastards, but His Highness promises that if something unfair happens, he will make the decision for everyone!" Captain Wang said seriously.
"Well! Of course we believe in His Highness!" Tie Zhui and others immediately became excited. "If His Highness didn't care about the lives of us people, he wouldn't find a way to send us food! In fact, we all know that His Highness doesn't need us at all. These people work, and many of the guys who hire us were deliberately found by His Highness.”
"For example, if His Highness doesn't need to feed us people, how could he need to transport so many supplies? It's us who are dragging His Highness down!"
Captain Wang shook his head and said: "You can just keep this in mind. In fact, as a prince, His Highness can live freely in Chang'an City, but he is willing to stay in this bitter and cold place in the Western Regions in order to free you from the sea of suffering, so Everyone just needs to keep it in mind, there isn’t much we can do, we can only do what His Highness says and what we do.”
"Captain Wang, don't worry. If anyone dares to forget His Highness' kindness, we will be the first to refuse! Changshengtian will also punish them!" Tie Zhui and others immediately shouted.
"Well, it's very late today, so I'll go back first. Everyone, please go back too. If you have time in the past two days, you can move the felt tents to live together, and then the cattle and sheep will be mixed together for the first time. When His Highness gives each of your households After the cattle and sheep are distributed, everyone will do their best. In the future, for a tribe of twenty households like yours, I will be responsible for ten in total. If you have any questions, you can come to me." Captain Wang stood up from the ground.
"Captain Wang, it's getting so late, so just sleep here. It's not safe to rush back overnight," Tie Zhui said.
"It's okay, just remember what His Highness told you. His Highness can tell you in a few days, and there will be a surprise for you." Captain Wang said with a smile.
"We really have nothing to repay, we just want His Highness to live forever!" A man next to him said loudly, "Captain Wang, don't worry, we will all get up early tomorrow, and then move the felt tents together."
"Hahaha, okay, that's it. By the way, here's the hammer." Captain Wang took out two kilograms of food stamps from his arms and handed them over.
"Captain Wang, what are you doing?!" Iron Hammer was shocked!
"This is the wood you prepared for burning tonight, and a lot of your dry milk." Captain Wang said with a smile, "I don't know how much, so I will give you two kilograms of food stamps. Don't be too little. "
"Captain Wang, if you give these two kilograms of food stamps, you are looking down on me, Tie Hammer. Although we are poor, when guests come, we will find ways to make them eat well. Captain Wang, aren't you slapping me in the face?" Hammer spoke loudly.
"Yes, Captain Wang, all we have to do is give Iron Hammer some food to each family, and a handful of firewood is enough for each family. How can we ask you to pay for it!" Others also said one after another.
"No!" Captain Wang's expression became serious. He looked at Tie Hammer seriously and said: "Tie Hammer, I am not slapping you in the face, but this is a request given by His Highness to us people. His Highness said that we are responsible Those in charge must not take a piece of the people's rations by heart! Only by always keeping their identity and status in mind can the things you just described not happen."
"This is a request given to me by His Highness, and I am willing to implement it according to this standard. If I come to your place alone another day as a guest, don't worry, if you ask me to give you money, I will not take it!" Captain Wang added with a smile. One sentence.
