Chapter 688: Buddha doesnt support people who eat free food either.
Chu Qianqiu fell slowly from the sky, and Taoist Yi followed closely behind him. With the "Taiyin Spiritual Corpse Sutra", he would naturally have a way to control him.
In the future, if placed in your hometown, it can also serve as a guard to prevent enemies from getting mad and stealing your home.
After all, people are in the arena and cannot help themselves.
Chu Qianqiu now has more and more enemies. He is not afraid of any enemy. Even if Zen Master Zuyuan comes with a group of magic weapons, he can still escape.
But we must beware of villains and think of dying together.
Even if he is an innate master, if he launches a surprise attack frantically, Xiaoxiao and others will still be in danger.
So this time I went home and brought back a zombie that was a master of appearance, which was undoubtedly a huge gain.
If Chu Qianqiu makes greater progress in martial arts knowledge in the future, it may not be possible to reverse the spiritual decline of zombies and make Yi Daoren's body stronger to protect his family.
"S-lord?"
"Lord!"
After Yang Guang and others saw Chu Qianqiu's almost miraculous method, they all saluted from the bottom of their hearts.
Even people with ulterior motives such as Li Mingde, Jiang Hong, and Xu Zishuang couldn't help but be convinced.
This is the absolute worship of the strong.
At this time, Chu Qianqiu's status in their minds even surpassed that of Zen Master Zuyuan, Xu Guogong and other well-known powerful figures in the empire.
[Even if General Long is resurrected, he will not have such means.] Lan
【He is a legend, a true man of destiny.】
【You cannot fight against such people, you have to join them.】
If Li Mingde was forced to serve before, now he has become voluntary in his heart.
Just like employees working in a unicorn company and working in a sunset industry, their mentality is completely different.
The size of the expected returns determines the employee's loyalty and effort.
【What a terrible person.】
[I used to just want to become the president of the Sixth Expo and inherit my adoptive father’s estate.] Lan
[Looking at it now, the ambition is too small.]
[If the lord is bound to control the world, then I should also be in charge of the state capital!]
Jiang Chess King bit his lips tightly, and his heart was in turmoil. He thought that his ambitions in the past were too small. Following such a lord, he should have higher pursuits.
This is also the most comfortable time in the early stages of a force's development. Everyone has good expectations, so they move forward together.
"Everyone, please get up. It's just a small thing."
"We will stay in this small village for one night and hit the road tomorrow."
"Yes, lord." Lan
Chu Qianqiu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to work. At this time, the refugees surrounded him again. They had regained consciousness and were no longer as crazy as the last time.
The young escort from Fuwei Escort also lost his life because of this, and these refugees, as if they were blessed, knelt down and shouted.
"Please Buddha, please save my life."
"Please Buddha, please save my life."
Although these refugees do not remember why they came here, they know very well that if they have no food or drink, they will die soon in this unfamiliar place.
Since ancient times, traveling long distances has been a life-threatening job, so for a trip to the Fuwei Escort Agency, a warrior with little success in accumulating energy dares to charge 50 taels of silver. This price is fair and reasonable.
Now there are tens of thousands of refugees gathered here. Either they form groups to rob and act like locusts along the road, or they can only kill each other.
Tianji Pavilion took money and food seriously and did not spend a penny more.
If Chu Qianqiu came a few days late on purpose, most of the refugees themselves would probably starve to death.
[Lord, these refugees are all over forty or fifty years old and have no value at all.]
[If the Lord wants to do good deeds, just pick some people and leave the others to fend for themselves.]
[You have already done your best to be kind and righteous. If you take them along the way to Fengzhou, no amount of food will be enough.]
[I’m afraid I have to pay for some buried money.]
Li Mingde quickly whispered.
There are more than a million people fleeing famine in Fengzhou, and various forces have actually divided up a lot of manpower.
But young men, teenagers, and girls are picked first. They belong to a high-value group. Large sect forces like boys and girls aged eleven or twelve. Even if they train them to be training slaves or power banks, they will still make money.
Secondly, according to craftsmanship, craftsmen, gardeners, carpenters, blacksmiths, etc. are also valuable people, and they will be bought at a low price, making a lot of money.
The last remaining people are naturally these old farmers with no special skills.
Only a farmer in his fifties would sell his life to Tianji Pavilion for five taels of silver.
What's more, what Li Mingde didn't know was that these peasants had taken Tianmang and their short lifespan was like a candle in the wind.
"Mingde is right." Lan
"But for me, that's not a problem."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and said.
In order to improve the Wish characteristics to a higher level, spending a little money here is nothing.
What's more, he is already the master of the empire and cannot let so many refugees go around causing destruction.
He shouted to the kneeling refugees:
"Old men, please get up."
His voice spreads far and everyone can hear it.
"Please Buddha, please save me."
Although these farmers are being taken advantage of, they are not completely stupid. If they don't hurry up and hug Chu Qianqiu's lap, when their convoy leaves, they will really start robbing along the road.
"I am not the Buddha, I am the loyal general Chu Qianqiu."
"What's more, the Buddha didn't support people who had to eat hard food, and neither did I."
When the refugees heard this, they were a little stunned, and the more fragile ones even burst into tears.
But he didn't expect Chu Qianqiu's conversation to change.
"But when I am in Lingzhou, I will carry out a lot of construction work, build roads, city walls and a series of other projects." Lan
"When the time comes, there will be wages and food to eat."
"The expenses incurred along the way will be deducted from your salary."
"We agreed in advance that if someone dies on the road, I won't pay for the burial."
"I can only help you find a place for burial."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you are willing, just follow me."
It is true that these refugees have a short life span, and Chu Qianqiu cannot guarantee how many of them will be able to make it to Lingzhou alive.
But if they were allowed to die here, they would only go crazy and loot along the way, which is what anyone would do.
You can't expect a person to have much morality when he can't survive.
So Chu Qianqiu wanted to give them hope and bring them to Lingzhou to reduce the damage along the way.
Anyway, the current Chu family has a big business, so if they open more local projects, they can regard it as aiding the economic construction of their hometown. What's more, Lingzhou is his foundation, so it is also good to build more fortresses.
[Sir!] Li Mingde didn't understand that Chu Qianqiu had turned on the resource hook, so he advised with some distress.
Jiang Hong's eyes became much more complicated. He was born as a beggar and could understand the pain of the poor better than Xu Zishuang, Li Mingde and others.
"I'm willing."
The refugees did not complain at all. Such conditions were already quite benevolent, and they all saluted and shouted.
"Very good." Chu Qianqiu nodded, knowing that the refugees would agree.
"Mingde, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, lord." Although Li Mingde saw that Chu Qianqiu did not listen to his suggestion, he still actively agreed.
[Let me give you a lowdown, if you go to Lingzhou and only half of the people die, you will be considered qualified. 】
【The fewer deaths, the better the results.】
[A few days ago, I purchased grain for dozens of carriages along the way, and I left it all to you.]
In the past month, Chu Qianqiu's life was not exactly the same. He gradually increased his food purchases, and the fleet had almost thirty more carriages.
The horses in this world have a very strong carrying capacity, much stronger than in the previous life. A standard carriage could carry about 3 tons in the previous life.
Chu Qianqiu took nearly 100 tons of grain on the road just to cope with this scene.
Use these grains sparingly, it is enough to feed the refugees for about half a month.
"Yes, lord!" Li Mingde thought of the purchase he made a few days ago. He thought it was food to be transported to Fengzhou, and he specifically asked not to waste it like this. He didn't expect that it would be put to use now.
[Could it be that my lord has reached the highest level of Yi Shu and can spy on the secrets of heaven? 】
However, Chu Qianqiu ignored this little thought and said to Jiang Qiwang who was in a daze.
"Jiang Hong, you assist Mingde." Lan
"The two of them worked together to try their best to resettle the refugees as properly as possible."
"Yes, lord."
"You really impress me." King Jiang couldn't help but said.
He went from being a beggar to becoming the young leader of the Sixth Expo. He never thought about helping other beggars, so he said this.
"I'm just doing it for profit."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work quickly."
"Yes!" Lan
At this time, Li Mingde had already run into the crowd of refugees and started shouting:
"Who knows how to write?"
"Who has been a village elder?"
"Who has been a shift leader?"
"Put your hands up, stand up, and I'll divide you into teams!"
There are tens of thousands of refugees, and it is impossible for him to be the leader alone.
Therefore, he must classify the refugees as soon as possible so that they can be managed.
Seeing everyone getting busy, Chu Qianqiu directed Daoist Yi to get into the carriage and prepare to start research.
"Brother Yi, I have offended a lot of people today, I hope you can forgive me."
"If Brother Yi is willing to let me do the experiment, just nod."
