Chapter 169 Captured

"Dad, I want to be a militia!"

Zhu Wuliu was holding a hoe in his hand, looking excited.

?21? "You cowardly, be a nonsense militiaman. Your father and I can go to the house."

In a courtyard in Zhujia Village, Zhu Wuliu was protesting to his father. Yesterday's newspaper was conveyed. Each village had to organize militias with 100 people to patrol, maintain public order, and arrest the barbarians in detail.

It is also said that the militia will also give special clothes in the future.

"Why, I also want to catch the barbarians' detailed works. These nobles dare to harm our King of Qi. I want to use a hoe to smash his head." Zhu Wuliu said.

"Why, just because I am your father, and because I am the team leader, this team must listen to me, roll the 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 don't care what you are going to do. Now you are at home honestly and will go to the threshing farm to smash wheat tomorrow."

Zhu Wuliuyi squatted down with a decadent look on his face, "Then you guys get a wife for me quickly."

"I'll give you a betrothal gift after I sell some wheat." Zhu Wuliu's mother said with a smile, and then he asked her husband, "This government office really harvests wheat this year? How much does it cost per stone?"

"This is still fake. When the village captain went to the government office, the magistrate said that now all the six prefecture government offices purchase grain, fifty cents per stone."

"So expensive?" Zhu grinned.

Zhu Da was also satisfied. The harvest of 150 sl of land in his family was fine. Twenty stones were left behind, and the remaining 130 sl of grain was sold. That was more than six taels of silver.

There is still one season this year, and I haven’t been able to run away for more than ten taels of silver a year. When did Zhu Dameng wake up with laughter when he had so much money in his hand?

"But the government also said that if the purchase amount is sufficient, the wheat will not be collected, so hurry up and beat out the wheat." Zhu Da explained.

After saying this, he walked out.

Since the farming club came out, the village was gradually no longer accepted by the villagers, and no one listened to what they said. On the contrary, the farming club gradually became the place where the village talked, and more than ten team leaders in a village decided on the matters of the whole village.

Now that the government orders in the newspaper come up, he has to go to the farm with other captains to discuss how to implement this matter.

Many people in the village have worked as long-term workers for wealthy families to now have their own land. Seeing that they have a good life in the future, they are even more grateful to His Highness King Qi, so the government orders in the newspaper have never dared to delay.

What he is going to talk about now is about this militia.

Someone assassinated the King of Qi, which is a huge deal for them. They are really afraid that if the King of Qi has an accident and changes to a vassal king in the future, their lives will probably be back to the past.

So after the reporter finished reading the newspaper in the village, the people in the village were angry, and every household urged the farm to organize the militia quickly.

Otherwise, these small team leaders will be replaced so that those with ability can go.

"I think beautifully, Zhu Da is capable." While thinking, Zhu Da walked towards the farming club.

At the same time, the fiery militia laws quickly spread to prefectures and counties outside Qingzhou like the spring breeze, and militias from various villages gradually appeared on the roads around the village.

They maintained the village's public order and questioned suspicious people passing by. As long as there were people, they could see militia patrolling with various farm tools. Any suspicious person would be sent to the government office by the militia...

In a forest in Yizhou.

Dozens of figures were passing through the woods, they looked tired and covered in mud, and their clothes were also shattered by the branches.

Qin Chuanyun looked at the wound on his arm. He had not been treated for a long time and the wound had become purulent.

After planning a conspiracy against Xiao Ming, he immediately fled south along the Tuojiang River, trying to leave the fief of King Qi.

But King Qi was faster than him, and soon there was an extra checkpoint along the docks of Tuojiang River, and the passing ships were strictly investigated.

As a last resort, they had to abandon the boat and walk the path.

But not long after, many patrol people soon appeared on the country roads.

These people questioned the passing merchants and checked the arms of every passing person, and they had to burrow into the mountains and forests.

After a month, they had eaten all the food they brought, so they were very tired.

"Dad, I can't walk anymore." Qin Mu suddenly sat down.

He was originally a scholar and his physical strength was worse than Qin Chuanyun.

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

For the first time, he felt regretful, and a moment of impulse completely ruined him.

King Qi was not dead, and only he could use this strange method.

"You can't stop. If you are caught, no one of us can escape." Qin Chuanyun roared, and the sound came from the woods, alarming a flying bird.

A shepherd boy was dozing off outside the woods. He heard this sound and looked back, ran away, shouting, "Dad, there are people in the woods."

The man who was catching fish by the river heard this and immediately beat him up. He didn't want the cow anymore, so he took the shepherd boy and ran to the village.

He was going to inform the militia, and suspicious people appeared here.

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

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

"Run, run into the woods." Qin Chuanyun roared.

When others heard this, they sank into the depths of the woods.

After a while, hundreds of villagers appeared in the woods. A leading man asked the shepherd boy, "Are you sure that the man has an arm injury and is wearing silk?"

"Yes, hurry up, otherwise if you let other villages catch it, the reward will be gone." The shepherd boy shouted.

The militia nodded, and hundreds of people scattered into the woods to chase after them. These people were healthy and often crept through the forest and climbed mountains. Their physical strength was much stronger than those of Qin Chuanyun, who were usually rich.

Among them were hunters who were proficient in hunting, and soon Qin Chuanyun and his group were discovered by the militia.

Hundreds of villagers accelerated their pace and surrounded Qin Chuanyun...

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

"Huyantuo's tribe has moved towards Cangzhou City?"

Xiao Ming asked, the last explosion only caused him some flesh and blood injuries, which was fine. For the past month, he had been urging the Equipment Department and Lu Tong to arrest the militia, harvest wheat, and conduct four things in a strict and detailed manner.

Now another batch of sixteen artillery pieces has been completed and has been transported to Cangzhou City. Fifty catapults and two thousand gunpowder tanks are also transported to the city at the same time.

This is already full production.

Wang Xuan's face was dark, obviously he had been running a lot these days. He said: "The Huyantuo tribe is likely to tempt the attack on Cangzhou City."

Xiao Ming nodded. The barbarians were about to attack, and it was time to go to Cangzhou City.

As the two were talking, Pang Yukun suddenly laughed and walked in. He said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, that old guy Qin Chuanyun was caught."
