Li Xin now understands why Ye Tan was so cruel just now and unwilling to say more. These people may have been bullied for too long and already have persecution delusions.

If Ye Tan really needs to find someone to pay homage to the ghosts and gods, the most likely person is the grassland people. He really has not forgotten what happened to the tribe last time.

"You guys, okay, come on, let's sit down and talk." Li Xin said and took the three of them to sit down at a table, then pointed at the big pots and said, "Old village leader, you still have to sit down and talk."

A dozen or so stronger people should go to the intersection, otherwise if they don't get anything to eat by then, I'm afraid that kid will be angry again."

After Ma Jin sat down, he thought about it, looked at Mark and said, "Go find someone."

"Yes, father." After Mark said that, he took the people to the intersection himself, while Ma Jin looked at Li Xin, waiting for him to answer his question.

"You are here, so you don't know what's going on outside. Do you know that? Although the governor is young, he has already dealt with many people. The last time someone from the prairie tried to challenge him, he took the initiative to lead people to repel them.

Those people." Li Xin took a sip of tea and said softly.

Mother Xie was not used to drinking tea and could only stand there. Ma Jin liked the taste of tea very much and couldn't help but take a few more sips and asked, "Is there any more?"

"There must be. When the governor first came here, he issued many laws during this period. Among them, regarding paying homage to ghosts and gods, anyone found to do so would be executed. Even some witch doctors who like to dance with gods, etc., or

If he ran away, he would have been caught directly, and now he is still beating stones in the mountains."

"In that case, why did he ask us for a child? The old man thinks he is not big." Ma Jin was made even more confused by his words. In this case, why did he want a child in the village? Such a thing,

To be honest, he had encountered her before, and it was said that she had lived a good life with her, but in the end, she never came back.

"Hey, it seems like you guys haven't been out for a long time." Li Xin sighed, feeling really tired talking to these people. Of course, he had to say it, because in a sense, people like him are better than those of ordinary people.

Officials must be trustworthy, so that others will be more likely to trust them.

"After the governor came back from the capital, in addition to setting some laws, he also prepared to improve people's livelihood, that is, everyone's living standards. But although our Songzhou is not big, we have a smaller population, so he is more concerned about the population.

I'm interested. Of course, even if I'm interested, I can't rob people, right? So, I just thought about how to improve the lives of the locals. But, if you let your children go out with you, you may be considered dishonest.

"Li Xin is also thinking about this matter. Nonsense, if problems arise when people like me deal with you, wouldn't it be troublesome?

"We are dishonest, what do you mean?" Ma Jin asked puzzledly, you have been dishonest since ancient times, and we are too honest, okay?

"Except for a few of the people who came here this time from the government, the rest are businessmen. This shows the sincerity of the governor. And if it weren't for the fact that your place is really too dangerous, he would have made the deal long ago.

The place is set up near here. The reason why it is set up in the county town is to let you all go out for a walk and stay here until one day you may become savages." Li Xin's words make sense, this world

The most unpopular thing in the world is the alliance, so in many cases, it is better to rely on the alliance than to rely on the interests.

"Then what is the other aspect that the governor is considering?" Ma Jin was not confused and asked instead.

"Don't you know that there is already a school in Songzhou?" Li Xin's words made him stunned. Although Ma Jin had never seen anything big in his life, he knew that generally only relatively wealthy places could have such things.

It is almost impossible to get similar treatment as in the Ming Dynasty, when many rural areas had schools.

"School?" Ma Jin opened his mouth and didn't understand. What's the use of having a school in a place like Songzhou? When everyone doesn't have enough to eat, doing this has become a joke. Since ancient times, studying and practicing martial arts have been

If you don't have enough to eat, you will easily have problems, one is psychological and the other is physical.

"Yes, and there are quotas in every place. Even if you don't want to, you can still sell the quotas when the time comes, and you may be able to have enough food for several months. But,

This matter cannot be discovered, otherwise, you may never be able to go to school again. And I heard that as soon as these children graduate from the academy, they will flood into various yamen and the like, and every month

If you have money, you can be an official in the future." When Li Xin said this, he felt that Ye Tan was really crazy. This was a huge benefit to the poor. But it may not be the same for other people, but Ye Tan

If you want to do this now, if anyone dares to stop it, big problems will arise.

"Is there such a good thing?" Ma Jin expressed disbelief. Since ancient times, people like him have not been able to get close to him. How could he be such a good person? He is as good as a fool.

"I heard that the Governor will look around the entire Songzhou except for you, and then the army will follow to help you sweep away those beasts. If you don't obey then, are you people or beasts? Those soldiers

You may not be able to tell the difference clearly." Li Xin's words gave him a chill in his heart. The soldiers and the bandits were almost like a family.

It seems that this governor is not a patient person. Those who obey will leave, and those who disobey will die.

Li Xin didn't want to say anything anymore, because he heard the cheers and exclamations of the mountain people at the intersection, and knew that Ye Tan was back.

As for why the mountain people are so happy, this also comes from their living environment. Many times, they simply don’t have enough to eat, so they don’t attach much importance to life and death. Sometimes, these people may not care about the leader.

The view is on how much food you give me.

The bamboo knives in Xie's mother's and Mark's hands had fallen to the ground. Looking at these things on the ground, they felt that their previous lives had been in vain.

Once, in order to support her mother's health, Xie's mother went to the mountains for almost a month before catching a wild boar weighing 40 to 50 pounds. Although they are all mountain people, they are smart, and those beasts are not stupid either. It is very awkward to catch them.

easy.

If it was just a wild boar, it would be nothing. There were also many wild wolves, golden pheasants, etc. Ye Qi saw that the fire had started, so he led his people to pack up these things. When Ma Jingang was about to say something, look

When the four people carried a huge black bear out of the carriage, they didn't know what to say for a while.

Ye Tan stood at the intersection, looking at the group of people who were still there in a daze, with animal skins and muscles on their bodies, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you go help quickly? Remember to eat and not take the food."

Although he was just a child, Mark still did not dare to say anything. He quickly led the people in his village and rushed over. It was as if he encountered some wild beast passing by. Some wild boars and other animals he usually saw were not at all.

I saw, but now I saw leopards, wild boars, black bears, pythons and other things. As for hares and golden pheasants, they were not enough to see. If the environmental protection organizations of later generations knew about it, Ye Tan, a negative example, would not be able to escape.

Just don't need it now.

Mark and others had only walked about a hundred feet, so he grabbed a person next to him and said, "Go back and call for people now. Call all the men, women, and children in the village. These things, combined with wild vegetables and other things, can make a living."

One year."

The man was also excited, nodded, turned around and ran away.

Ye Tan watched Li Xin and Ma Jin chatting there on the carriage. It seemed to be pretty good. The other shopkeepers were also looking around, seeming to be looking for some business opportunities. At the same time, some small candies in their arms would also

For some greedy children.

Ma Jin did not sit still on the Diaoyutai. The boy who had just followed his son out suddenly came back, and then the village door was opened. Before he, the village leader, asked any questions, everyone ran out in a hurry, regardless of the danger.

It's no longer dangerous.

Just as he was about to ask something, he saw the women in the front, regardless of whether the clothes on their upper bodies were leaking, dragging a small but not big wild boar towards this place, with excitement on their faces, and

The people behind him also came over, and his jaw dropped.

It's a pity that these people have no way to transport the things back to the village. Just after they passed the position where the pots were placed, Ye Qi pointed at them and said, "Put it there."

Several women seemed to have been robbed, clinging to a pig's leg, apparently planning to resist.

"What does this mean?" Ma Jin asked puzzledly, why he was given something but not allowed to take it away.

"Hey." Li Xin suddenly laughed, but it was a little sad. Seeing Ma Jin staring at him, he said slowly, "Although these things come from your mountains, the person who hunts them is the governor.

Sir, he is the master, and you may get a little share for helping to move things, but you don’t know how to eat these things to the maximum extent. Looking at the way you usually eat, I know that you don’t know how to do it, and you don’t know how to do it.

If so, it’s just a small thing to fill your stomach. Sometimes you won’t do it, and it may shorten your lifespan, so you’d better wait.”

Ma Jin looked at Li Xin doubtfully, and then asked someone to explain to a few women there. In the village, women are generally stronger, especially those without men in the family. This is even more true, but Ma Jin

It was the boss. They put the things aside reluctantly, but did not leave, staring at it. For a person who had starved many times and saw people in his family starving to death, this pig was his life.

It's just that Ma Jin has no way to chat with Li Xin. At first, the woman didn't understand, and later the old men and strong men didn't understand either. Just when he was about to use force, he saw this little kid Ye Tan suddenly walked away.

When he came to them, he looked at a protruding rock on the opposite side. Suddenly he took out his hand and slapped it directly with his palm. Then the rock slowly broke into a pile as far as the eyes could see, and then several

The servant cleared all the stones, and another corner appeared for storing things.

The people in Huanglong Village also became quiet. After moving the things over, they stood aside honestly. Everyone including the children looked at Ye Tan and did not dare to speak, but Ye Tan glanced at Ye Qidao next to him.

, "You go and explain."

"Yes, Master." After Ye Qi finished speaking, he changed into dark clothes, made of leather, in order to prevent his clothes from getting dirty.

Holding a leather jacket in his hand, after looking around at the people, he said to Mark, "You choose the twenty best and smartest people in your village to cook and come over. I'm going to start."

Although he didn't understand what it was, Mark always felt that it would be a good thing, so he quickly shouted in the queue, "Aunt Qiu, Er Yazi, Magu..."

As soon as he finished speaking, women came out one by one and stood in front of Ye Qi tremblingly. Looking at their looks, Ye Qi originally wanted to get angry, but in the end he found that the little girl following him at the end

The girl looked very much like her lost sister, not only in appearance, but in her eyes. She was as timid as a poor deer. She had very few clothes on her body and was very dirty. She only had big eyes.

"Come here." Ye Qi pointed at the little girl and said softly.

Maybe it was because he looked really gentle, or for other reasons, but anyway, the little girl put her hands on both sides of her body and walked over stupidly, but the timidity in her eyes still didn't go away.

"Look, you're dirty. Come on, come over and wash your hands." Ye Qi directly pulled the little girl and asked her to wash her hands in the ditch nearby, regardless of whether she wanted to or not.

However, the little girl's skin was darker, and after washing for a while, it was just a little bit cleaner. But when he stuffed a piece of maltose in his arms into her mouth, the little girl's eyes seemed to come to life, and when he followed,

When she walked back, she was already acting a little coquettishly.

The reason why everyone is not in a hurry is because the meat cooked in the pot has already been boiled. The rich aroma makes Ye Tan gag when smelling it, while others are even more excited. These meats will definitely have their own.

"Look at you, why don't you wash up quickly? Anyone with dirty hands or dirty face will not be allowed to study with me. There will be no meat to eat today." Originally, the previous sentence meant that there were not many people.

I heard it, but the next sentence made everyone rush to the ditch to wash their hands. One woman was too anxious and fell directly into it. If it hadn't been for the sunshine, she would have frozen to death.

When these people stood in front of Ye Qi again, he patted the little girl's head, smiled warmly, and then took out a narrow knife from his robe, and then two servants took out a two hundred kilogram knife.

The wild boar was lifted up. Although it was dead, it was still hot.

Ye Qi held the knife, but didn't seem to care at all. He asked people to prepare washbasins and other things, and then started to explain, "This is a wild boar. You have all seen it, but you don't know how to do it. I will tell you now."

Method."

Someone in the crowd rolled their eyes, "Who doesn't know how to cook meat? What do you mean?"

It’s just that Ye Qi doesn’t care what these people think. The knife in his hand looks slender, making people think that this kid is just messing around. Can such a knife open the pig skin? The wild boar skin is very hard. Of course, because it is too
