Three people were frustrated one after another, and Lu Jing stood there from the beginning to the end without even moving his little finger. The shock to the bandits in the village was no less than when they saw Ge Ping killing the officers and soldiers alone.
And when the fourth master, who had been given high hopes by everyone, rushed forward and delivered him immediately, the already heated heads of the bandits finally calmed down again.
The eyes looking at Lu Jing also changed from the previous hostility to hostility mixed with awe, and when Lu Jing's eyes swept over, many people lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look into those eyes.
Lu Jing patted the dust on his body and asked, "Do you still want to come and chop me down? Or you can come together."
After saying that, he looked at Ge Ping aside, "Boss Ge, you are the leader of Qinglong Village, how about you take the lead?"
Ge Ping's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, Ge has already experienced Lu Daxia's magical skills, and he knows that he is no match."
So Lu Jing looked at Yuzhen again, "How about you come? I think you don't like farming the most."
"That's because I want to build the earthen fort and be responsible for future patrols." Although Yuzhen scolded Lu Jing countless times in her stomach, she still had to force out a smile on her face.
Then Lu Jing looked at the other bandits in the meeting hall again, "What about you, do you like farming?"
The bandits looked at each other and were silent for a short time.
Then a somewhat immature voice took courage and said, "I, I want to farm!"
The one who spoke was the boy Lu Jing first met at the foot of the mountain. He knew that this was the time when he needed to show his loyalty, so he quickly stepped forward.
As soon as he took the initiative, there was a sparse voice of agreement in the assembly hall, "I, I want to plant it too!"
"Take me alone. I was farming at home before going up to the mountain. I'm familiar with this life."
"Farming is better than killing people, and you don't have to worry about it every day! I've long been tired of the life of killing."
There were more and more echoing voices, and finally they became one. A group of bandits and bandits were clamoring to farm the land. They were afraid that if they shouted too low, they would be targeted by the young man in front of them.
What, embarrassing? Don't be kidding, is losing face as terrible as losing one's life? Besides, haven't you seen that the first and second masters have already taken the lead and set an example for everyone?
So for a while, the sound of farming was constantly heard, and I didn’t know why I thought I had stumbled into some large-scale MLM scene.
Anyone who has just arrived here would never understand why a group of bandits love farming so deeply.
Lu Jing turned to Ge Ping and said, "Look, it's not that difficult to convince everyone, and I didn't see the thorn you mentioned."
"yes."
Apart from saying yes, Ge Ping didn't know what else he could say.
He originally saw Lu Jing's beautiful features and polite speech, and thought he was one of those elegant Confucian knights in the world, who could always be reasonable, strict with himself and lenient with others.
But now Master Gezhai also knows that he made a mistake.
Lu Jing was basically using the bandits' way of dealing with them.
But Ge Ping also had to admit that as bandits they were indeed very fond of this trick.
In this cruel jungle where the strong is king, without the constraints of the law, as long as you show your absolute strength, what you say will be regarded as an imperial edict by others.
It seems like now, no one in the council hall has complained about Lu Jing charging too much rent, and some people have even begun to figure out which piece of land they will grab at the foot of the mountain next spring.
There are also people actively discussing where to get farm tools, and the entire Qinglong Village is filled with enthusiasm to do a good job and actively produce.
Then Lu Jing asked Ge Ping to find all the women they had kidnapped before and ask them one by one if they were willing to go home. The result surprised Lu Jing.
After hesitation, most people still chose to stay in the village. At most, they just asked Lu Jing to send a letter to their families to report that they were safe. Some of them took off a piece of jewelry and other things they carried and gave it to Lu Jing. , asking him to take these things home, but he was asked to help tell his family that they were dead.
And Lu Jing could understand why they did this after thinking for a while. In this era, a woman's lack of integrity is more serious than losing her life. Even if they return home, they will be despised by their relatives and neighbors in the future, and even their parents may not be willing to watch them again. Until they come back.
Rather than being looked down upon in the city, it would be better to just stay in the village.
Ge Ping was different from other illiterate mountain kings. Although he was equally ruthless in killing people, he still took good care of the female relatives who had been robbed up the mountain and explicitly prohibited anyone from harming them.
Of course, the life here is incomparable to that at the foot of the mountain, but I can still live with it.
Others are already pregnant and have completely resigned themselves to their fate.
Lu Jing didn't have much to do about this. Times were like this, and in troubled times, too many people's names were like straw. As Ge Ping said, compared to those who are dead, being alive is already a kind of luck. .
At this time, the city gate has been closed, and there is no way to go back. Lu Jing first asked Ge Ping to count the women who were going home, and then asked him to draw up a list of the urgently needed supplies in the village, including various Hoes and other production tools, as well as various daily necessities.
Of course, Lu Jing is only helping to advance the money, and will deduct it from it after the next year's grain harvest. If it cannot be deducted in one year, it will be deducted in the second year... Anyway, all interpretation rights belong to Lu Jing, so there is no way this investment will be a loss. Bar.
Finally, there are the materials needed to build the earth fort. The amount of this project will definitely not be small. Fortunately, the most important manpower is readily available, but if you want to build a good earth fort, the necessary materials must not be missing.
Lu Jing also had a headache about this, but these things would only need to be worried about tomorrow.
After defeating the bandits in Qinglong Village, Lu Jing asked Ge Ping to pick out a few strong laborers for him. He first found a place near the top of the mountain and reclaimed about four acres of land.
During this period, Ge Ping wanted to say something several times, but in the end he swallowed it all.
Lu Jing knew what he wanted to ask. The areas he picked were not the most fertile, and there were many small animals on the mountain. Unless someone was always guarding them, the things he planted would probably be cheaper than these small animals. .
In addition, winter is about to begin, and from a solar term perspective, it is impossible to grow any vegetables or grains.
Lu Jing had no intention of explaining, but just told Ge Ping not to allow anyone else to come here from now on.
As for those who are really curious and refuse to listen to advice, Lu Jing is not worried. He originally planned to add a basic maze here.
It is used not only to deal with those little beasts, but also to guard against anyone coming up.
