Under the gaze of the group leader, Li Weizhi's face showed an embarrassing expression.

After taking a deep breath, he replied to Wang Wen: ": Lord Wang, I am also considering the brothers under my command... In order to make the brothers earn more, I sent two thousand more people. Therefore, I hope Lord Wang will forgive me and keep it confidential for me."

Hearing this, the group leader Wang Wen's eyes lit up and he immediately understood the other party's purpose.

It is also a gift for escorting 10,000 people at one time, and it is also a gift for escorting 12,000 people at one time. Since that is the case, why not take advantage of this opportunity to get some money from the middle?

Anyway, there are more than 10 million people in such a huge Shandong Province. Even if one million more immigrants will not have much impact.

One million people mean 200,000 taels of silver for Li Weizhi in front of him.

As a small Qianmao in the local garrison, he drinks military blood every day and can earn thousands of taels of silver in a year. In front of him, he only needs more energy to get a lot of silver into his pocket in a short period of time.

Faced with this tempting way to earn money, it is impossible to say that you are not moved.

At that time, Li Weizhi will hold the big head of the silver in front of him and give it to his brothers to keep it secret... The whole process of making money will become silent. And Mr. Li Weizhi will be able to make a fortune secretly in silence.

After knowing Li Weizhi's true intentions, Captain Wang Wen did not make it clear.

Before leaving, Dashen Wei Zheng clearly told himself that the more immigrants come to Shandong and Shaanxi provinces, the better.

However, according to the agreement between the military advisor and the Shandong Governor, the Shandong Governor would only immigrate to Shaanxi Province with 500,000 people. The minimum target given to him by the Governor's Office is one million.

In other words, in addition to the 500,000 people who immigrated to Shaanxi on the surface, he also had to immigrate to 500,000 people secretly from Shandong to achieve his goal.

What Li Weizhi did in front of him happened to give Wang Wen a way to increase the number of immigrants.

Therefore, even if you know that Li Weizhi is making money for him, Wang Wen will not say it out loud. Not only will he not say it out loud, but he will also encourage Li Zhiwei in front of him to further increase the number of smuggled immigrants.

Just as Li Zhiwei looked at him uneasy, afraid that he would refuse the extra two thousand immigrants. A smile suddenly appeared on Wang Wen's serious face.

Then, he said to Li Weizhi: "I will not care about the number sent by the Shandong Governor here, but only look at the actual number. As many people Mr. Li Qian sent to us, we will give us as much money as possible, and the more we will get better."

After saying that, he ordered the deputy commander who was in charge of logistics education around him: "Deputy Commander Wang will immediately receive 2,400 taels of silver from the warehouse and hand it over to Mr. Li Qian. In addition, in order to thank Mr. Li Qian for bringing two thousand more immigrants, I will make a decision without authorization and give Mr. Li Qian a reward of fifty taels of silver."

"From now on, the more immigrants Mr. Li Qian sent us, the more rewards he would receive..."

After hearing this, if Li Zhiwei still didn't understand the implicit meaning of Wang Wen's words, then Li Zhiwei's Qiang Man for a few years would have been in vain. So, as soon as Wang Wen finished speaking, Li Zhiwei's face showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.

Because, Wang Weng's words meant that he received an unexpected income of 450 taels of silver during this escort.

Four hundred and fifty taels of silver, except for the two hundred taels that win people's hearts, the remaining two hundred and fifty taels will completely fall into your own pocket.

More importantly, Wang Wen also told himself clearly in his answer that this was just his first extra income. As long as he continued to smuggle immigrants to the Tiger and Leopard Army in the future, the more he might get...

Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei, with a smile on his face, quickly promised: "Please rest assured, Lord Wang, I will bring another two thousand more people when I come again next time... No, five thousand people, I will bring another five thousand people at once."

Two hundred Shandong garrisons returned to Shandong with a smile on their faces, preparing to start their second escort. A strong smell of pork floated in the military camp of more than 10,000 people at one time.

After one person drank a bowl of sticky rice porridge, the pale faces of more than 10,000 immigrants finally had a hint of rosy on their pale faces.

Although these rice porridges cannot make everyone full, these immigrants are no longer as weak as they did a few hours ago.

At this moment, the densely packed immigrants are sitting together in a very orderly manner, discussing their confusion with each other with uneasiness.

Among these people, an immigrant family is particularly attractive because there are an amazing ten people in their family, including two elderly people, the family advocates Heizi, his own wife, and six children who have not yet started a family.

The reason why they mustered up the courage to join the immigration army is that they, like other immigrants, are because of the same problem: to survive.

Because the strong fields of military officers and the limited fertile land at home have all become the private property of military officers.

In this case, relying solely on renting the land of military officers and limited land income is simply not enough to support the ten people in the family.

This difficulty was in front of many people in the late Ming Dynasty. Their choice was to bear the pain of giving up and sell their children.

However, the stubborn Zhang Heizi did not do this. He did not want to sacrifice his children and his family to separate.

At this moment, the news that one person immigrated to Shaanxi and distributed ten acres of land suddenly reached Zhang Heizi's ears.

In order to survive and not separate for the family. Although I don’t know if the result of immigration is as beautiful as advertised, Zhang Heizi decided to take a gamble and make a way out for his family.

So, despite his family's opposition, Zhang Heizi directly brought his family to the immigration army.

However, wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Just as they followed the immigration army to the borders of the two provinces, the government troops who escorted them cruelly snatched away all the things they carried, completely turning themselves and their families into beggars without any possessions.

Faced with this result, Zhang Heizi became desperate and his family became desperate.

Just when they thought they were going to die on the road to immigration, the appearance of the Tiger and Leopard Army made their desperate hearts ignite a trace of hope again.

Under the escort of the government army, before they could approach the tiger and leopard army camp, the strong aroma of rice porridge drifted into their noses.

With the waiting full of longing eyes, Zhang Heizi and his family each got a large bowl of sticky rice porridge.

Looking at the steaming rice porridge with chopsticks in the bowl, the whole family was like hungry wolves with red eyes. They didn't care about the hotness of the rice porridge and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

After that, my wife's eyes shed tears as big as beans. Because, in order to save food for her husband and children, my wife hadn't eaten such sticky rice porridge for several years.

Just as they began to savor the fragrance of rice porridge that remained in their mouths, they were once again full of longing for the future of this immigration.

A Tiger and Leopard Army soldier suddenly stood among them under the confusing gaze of everyone.

He knocked the gong he held in his hand hard, and waited until everyone focused their eyes on him. The qi sank into the dantian and shouted loudly at the densely packed immigrants around him.

"Everyone has it all, I have something to say: Our Tiger and Leopard Army does not care where you were before, what they did. From now on, you are only the people of my Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces..."

"After entering the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, you must abide by the rules of Shanxi and Shaanxi. As long as you abide by the rules, our Tiger and Leopard Army promises that in the latest two days, you and your family will have no worries about food and clothing, and you will no longer have to endure hunger-..."

"Of course, our Tiger and Leopard Army once said will also be fulfilled... After entering Shaanxi, as long as an elderly adult can be assigned ten acres of fertile land. In our Tiger and Leopard Army, each acre of fertile land needs to be paid four dou of grain tax to the Shanxi and Shaanxi Governor's Office. Apart from this, there are no heavy taxes..."

"So, as long as everyone plows the fields well, at least two years, you will no longer have to worry about food..."

Facing the Tiger and Leopard Army in front of us, everyone's face, which was still uneasy, was instantly covered by excitement.

At this time, I don’t know who roared: “Long live the tiger and leopard army…”

As soon as the words fell, the immigrants gathered around the soldiers were as if they had been doped. At the same time, they raised their fists and shouted loudly: "Long live the tiger and leopard army...Long live the tiger and leopard army..."

After a cup of tea, the thunderous shouts slowly stopped under the instructions of the soldiers.

When everyone's passionate eyes gathered on themselves again, the soldier spoke again.

"In order to facilitate the management of our Tiger and Leopard Army, our Tiger and Leopard Army will group everyone with households..."

"Ten households are in a group, and ten young and strong men are drawn as guards, and a team leader is selected from the middle to protect everyone and to escort you the food rations to Shaanxi..."

"Ten groups form a village, and our tiger and leopard army designated a village chief to lead everyone to Shaanxi..."

"In order to ensure everyone's safety, our Tiger and Leopard Army will send a Tiger and Leopard Army soldier to each village to maintain public order and handle disputes..."

Last article, in order to welcome everyone to enter the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi and become the people of Shanxi and Shaanxi... Marshal Wei, the governor of Shanxi and the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army, prepared a very rich supper for everyone, welcome everyone... "

"Tonight, I will eat as much as I want to eat dried white rice, braised pork, braised mutton..."

"However, we have a requirement, which is to select the guards and team leaders of our own group and go to dinner under the leadership of the team leader. Otherwise, you can only watch others eat meat and stay by your side and go hungry..."
