Steel Dynasty - Chapter 169

[Chapter 169 Capture]

“Dad, I want to be a militiaman!”

Zhu Wuliu held a hoe in his hand and looked excited.

“You’re a coward, you’re just a militiaman. Just let your father and I go home.”

In a courtyard in Zhujiacun, Zhu Wuliu was protesting to his father. Yesterday’s newspaper was conveyed, and every village A militia of one hundred people should be organized to patrol, maintain law and order, and arrest barbarians for detailed operations.

And it is said that the militiamen will be issued special clothes in the future.

“Why, I also want to catch the barbarians’ secret work. These **** dare to harm our His Highness, King Qi. I will smash his head with a hoe.” Zhu Wuliu said.

“Why, just because I am your father and the team leader, this team has to obey me, rolling ball.” Zhu Da glared at Zhu Wuliu fiercely.

At this time, Zhu Wuliu’s mother came over and said, “Your father is right. When you marry a wife and have a baby, your father and I won’t care what you do. Now you just stay at home and you will come back tomorrow.” I have to go to the threshing floor to thresh the wheat.”

Zhu Wuliu squatted down with a look of despair, “Then you should marry me a wife quickly.”

“I will give you a betrothal gift after I sell some wheat.” Zhu Wuliu’s mother smiled. Then he asked his husband: “Is this government office really harvesting wheat this year? How much does it cost per stone?”

“This is still false. When the village captain went to the government office, the county magistrate said that now the government offices in the six states are all Purchasing grain costs fifty cents per dan.

“Is it so expensive?” Mr. Zhu grinned.

Zhu Da was also satisfied. He had no problem harvesting 150 shi from his 50 acres of land. He left 20 shi and sold the remaining 130 shi as grain, which was more than six taels of silver.

There is still one season this year, and more than ten taels of silver a year are not lost. Thinking of this, Zhu Da will wake up laughing in his dreams, when did he ever have so much money in his hand.

“But the government office also said that if the purchase quantity is enough, we will not accept it, so we must beat out the wheat quickly.” Zhu Da explained.

After saying this, he walked out.

Since the establishment of the farm cooperative, Li Zheng in the village has gradually become less accepted by the villagers, and no one listens to what he says. On the contrary, the farm cooperative has gradually become the place where the village talks, with a dozen or so captains in a village deciding the affairs of the whole village.

Now that the government order is published in the newspaper, he and other captains will have to go to the farm community to discuss how to implement it.

Many people in the village used to work long-term jobs for wealthy families and now have their own land. Seeing that they will live a good life in the future, they are even more grateful to His Highness King Qi, so they never dare to delay the government orders published in the newspaper.

What he is going to talk about now is the matter of the militia.

Someone assassinated King Qi, which was a big deal to them. They were really afraid that if something happened to King Qi and another vassal king changed in the future, their lives would go back to the past.

So after the reporter read the newspaper in the village, the people in the village became angry, and every household urged the farm cooperative to organize the militia quickly.

Otherwise, they, the team captains, will replace them and let the capable ones take over.

“That’s a nice thought. I, Zhu Da, am very capable.” While thinking about it, Zhu Da walked towards the farm community.

At the same time, the fiery militia law quickly spread to prefectures and counties outside Qingzhou like a spring breeze, and militiamen from each village gradually appeared on the roads around the village.

They maintain law and order in the village and interrogate suspicious people passing by. Militiamen can be seen patrolling with all kinds of farm tools wherever there are people. Anyone who behaves suspiciously will be turned away by the militia to the government office…

in a mountain forest in Yizhou.

Dozens of figures were walking through the woods. They looked tired, covered in mud, and their clothes were torn by branches.

Qin Chuanyun glanced at the wound on his arm. Without treatment for a long time, the wound had become suppurative.

After planning a conspiracy against Xiao Ming, he immediately fled southward along the Tuojiang River by boat, trying to leave King Qi’s fiefdom.

But King Qi was faster than him, and soon there was a checkpoint on the docks along the Tuojiang River to strictly check the ships coming and going.

As a last resort, they had to abandon the ship and take a small road.

But not long after, there were many people patrolling the country roads.

These people interrogated passing merchants and checked the arms of everyone passing by. They had to go into the mountains and forests.

A month has passed like this, and all the rations they brought have been eaten, so they are very tired.

“Dad, I can’t walk anymore.” Qin Mu suddenly sat down.

He is a scholar to begin with, and his physical strength is not as good as Qin Chuanyun’s.

Qin Chuanyun looked at his seventy-year-old mother, wife and brothers. They all looked tired.

For the first time, he felt regret, and his impulse completely destroyed him.

King Qi is not dead, and only he can use this strange method.

“We can’t stop. If we are caught, none of us can run away.” Qin Chuanyun roared, and this voice came from the woods, startling a flock of birds.

A shepherd boy was dozing outside the woods. When he heard the sound, he looked back and ran away, shouting as he ran: “Dad, there is someone in the woods.”

The man who was catching fish by the river heard it and immediately started to fight. He was so clever that he didn’t want the cow anymore, so he took the shepherd boy and ran towards the village.

He was going to inform the militia that there was a suspicious person here.

Qin Chuanyun was shocked. The shepherd boy was sleeping in the shade under the bushes, and he didn’t notice it at all.

Qin Mu was so frightened that he stood up from the ground, and the others were even more panicked.

“Run, run into the woods.” Qin Chuanyun roared.

After hearing this, the others disappeared into the depths of the woods.

After a while, hundreds of villagers appeared in the woods. A leader asked the shepherd boy: “Are you sure that man has an injury on his arm and is still wearing silk?”

“Yes, hurry up, or other villages will catch him. The reward is gone,” the shepherd boy shouted.

The militiamen nodded, and hundreds of them scattered and chased into the woods. These people were in good health and often climbed mountains through the woods. Their physical strength was much stronger than those of Qin Chuanyun, who were usually wealthy.

Among them were hunters who were proficient in hunting. Soon Qin Chuanyun and his party were discovered by the militiamen.

Hundreds of villagers quickened their pace and surrounded Qin Chuanyun…

In Qingzhou City, Wang Xuan returned from the grassland and brought important news.

“The Huyantuo tribe has moved to Cangzhou City?”

Xiao Ming asked. The last explosion only caused him some flesh injuries, but it didn’t matter. Over the past month, he had been urging the Equipment Department and Lu Tong to organize militiamen. Harvest wheat and be busy doing four things with careful inspection.

Now another batch of sixteen artillery pieces has been completed and has been transported to Cangzhou City, along with fifty catapults and two thousand gunpowder cans.

This is already full production.

Wang Xuan’s face was dark, and he had obviously suffered a lot these days. He said, “The Huyantuo tribe will probably try to attack Cangzhou City.”

Xiao Ming nodded. The barbarian attack was imminent, and it was time to go to Cangzhou City.

While the two were talking, Pang Yukun suddenly walked in with a big smile. He said, “Congratulations, Your Highness, that old guy Qin Chuanyun was caught.”

The fourth update is complete, please recommend! Asking for a monthly ticket!
