Ge Ping had already expected that there would be opposition to the farming matter, so he was not too anxious when he saw this.
He even let the people below discuss it for a while, and then continued, "I know everyone has a lot of ideas, and it doesn't matter. I can give everyone some time to think about it. From now on, we will still follow the same rules. Everyone can express their opinions, but In the end, those with fewer people must listen to those with more people.”
Before coming to the meeting hall, Ge Ping had assured Lu Jing that there must be far more people willing to farm than those unwilling.
The reason is also very simple, that is, everyone is hungry.
Before becoming bandits, the vast majority of people lived a life of one meal and no next meal. The reason why they got into this line of work was just to have a good meal.
Despite the fierceness of most people's shouting, it is quite tempting for them if they can fill their stomachs without having to work hard, but in this environment where everyone is fighting against each other, no one dares to say this.
But now Ge Ping, the leader, has taken the lead and set an example for everyone in person.
After all, Master Ge Da was chasing after the officers and soldiers to kill them. No one dared to question his courage. Since he was willing to farm, it seemed that there would be no problem for the big guy to farm with him.
So soon someone was ready to take action.
These people did not shout loudly, but communicated with each other with eyes, looking for companions in the crowd.
Ge Ping also struck while the iron was hot and said, "I can assure you that as long as we farm our land with peace of mind, the government officials will not come to surround us again. Moreover, I plan to spend a winter building a strong earthen fortress so that other people can The bandits have nothing to do with us."
The charming woman named Yuzhen couldn't help but become anxious when she heard this. She knew that if this went on, Ge Ping's supporters would only get more and more, and in the end, Ba Cheng would get what he wanted.
There wasn't much conflict between her and Ge Ping. She was very supportive of Ge Ping when he took the position of head of the family. At that time, the two of them were still flirting with each other.
It wasn't until later that Ge Ping snatched back an eldest lady from nowhere and was fascinated by the woman. The two of them had nothing to do with each other, but Yuzhen could only make a few sarcastic remarks. After all, she had many men of her own, so this was not the case. It's not a deep hatred.
The reason why she stood up against Ge Ping now was just because she had no interest in farming.
And she also needs Ge Ping to continue to be the leader of the village, leading their group to rob houses and homes, constantly draining the strength of the officers and soldiers, and finally conquer Huaiyin County.
So she had to find a way to stop Ge Ping's half-way plan to farm.
However, in terms of prestige, she, the second master, was far inferior to Ge Ping, the first master. In terms of martial arts, she knew that she was no match for Ge Ping, so in the end, her eyes fell on Lu Jing who was standing aside.
Yuzhen knew that everything that happened today was related to this young man whose name he didn't know.
She didn't know exactly how Lu Jing deceived Ge Ping, so that Ge Ping suddenly became obsessed with him and was determined to start farming with him, but she thought that as long as this young man was dealt with, the beautiful blueprint Ge Ping painted would be gone. It will all become a bubble.
After all, it was impossible for Ge Ping himself to persuade those officers and soldiers not to encircle and suppress them.
Thinking of this, Yuzhen no longer hesitated, pulled her tube top down again, and then walked towards Lu Jing with a gentle step.
Then without saying any hello and ignoring the surprised looks of others, he just jumped into Lu Jing's arms.
Then he grabbed one of Lu Jing's hands, put it around his waist, and said softly, "Does the land under this mountain belong to you, sir? The master's family must be extraordinary, right?"
"That's not the case. I'm just a kid from an ordinary family," Lu Jing said. "This land deed was also given to me by someone else."
"Young Master is joking, how could someone be so generous and give away such a large area to others."
As a result, after she finished speaking, she noticed that Lu Jing's expression became strange.
After thinking about it for a while, Yuzhen also thought of the reason. It was because their group occupied this place that Lu Jing got such a big advantage.
So Yuzhen also blushed, but she paused and quickly continued, "Young master, you are so lucky. Not only do you have land now, but you also found someone to farm it for you. According to Boss Ge, From now on we are all your tenants.”
Yuzhen emphasized the word tenant farmer specially.
Ge Ping frowned and wanted to say something, but looked at Lu Jing and swallowed his words back.
Yuzhen, on the other hand, kept up her efforts and said, "I wonder how this renter plans to collect it, and how much of the food we grow will have to be paid to you?"
Now even the boy not far away heard Yuzhen's implication. The second master was digging a hole for people to dance in.
However, if Lu Jing could take this opportunity to announce that he would be free of rent, or charge less rent, perhaps more people would support Ge Ping. In this case, wouldn't it be like shooting himself in the foot as the second boss?
But to the boy's surprise, it was Lu Jing who said, "Rent? I don't know much about it, but I'll charge 10% more."
At this time, even Yuzhen was stunned. She couldn't say any more what she had planned.
She had also heard of landlords who raised rents as soon as they came up. However, that was in the peaceful days. Those tenant farmers under them could not survive without land, but you must know that these are troubled times.
Increase rent at this time? Is this guy crazy, or is he really just a rich man with a lot of wealth but a lot of trouble?
But if that's the case, how could Ge Ping be persuaded by such a person?
Many thoughts flashed through Yuzhen's mind, but the current situation was undoubtedly good for her, so she quickly added, "Then we occupied the young master's precious land for business, what should we say about this matter, young master?" Do you want us to accompany you as well?"
"Of course," Lu Jingdao, "How can there be any reason in this world to invade other people's land and not compensate? This doesn't make sense at all."
"But...but little girl, I don't have anything to offer, and I don't know how to farm," Yuzhen bit her lip, "How do you want me to compensate you?" As she spoke, she leaned forward again.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to farm," Lu Jing said, "You can still build an earth fort, and it looks like you know martial arts. After building the earth fort, you can go patrolling and monitor what's going on outside."
Yuzhen almost turned her nose in anger at Lu Jing's words. She wondered if this guy in front of her was still a man. He actually asked her, a woman, to build the earthen fort. After building the earthen fort, she had to go on the most tiring and dangerous patrol. live.
But this was just taking advantage of her intention. She originally wanted to arouse the hatred of everyone in the village against Lu Jing, so the more arrogant Lu Jing behaved, the more beneficial it was to her.
