Chapter 1418 Two Choices

Regarding this point, this person really did not lie.

Dazhou is now regarded as a prosperous country and the people are safe. Even if villains occasionally appear, they don't dare to make things big.

After all, no one knows whether the imperial court's imperial envoys will appear around them.

But this group of people is not considered evil, they just don't want to work, so a group of people just hit it off.

Find a remote place and pretend to be officers and soldiers to collect taxes. It doesn't push people too hard either.

Like the people in this town, just run away, after all, you can search for something and go back.

When everyone got this answer, they were really speechless.

Looking at the armor on them: "Then where did your armor come from?"

They are said to be bandits mainly because they pretend to be officers and soldiers.

"Our armor is made by our boss on the mountain, and all these irons are made by our boss."

"The armor on us is better than the armor of soldiers!"

This actually aroused the interest of Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, is this an expert who belongs to the people?

You must know that armor is not something that ordinary people can make.

"Where is your mountain? Take us there."

The bandits were dumbfounded, and immediately put on their own attitude: "If you want to kill them, kill them."

"It's impossible to betray our boss."

I didn't expect these people to be so loyal to the bandit boss.

General Du didn't know what to do for a while.

"My lord, we must exterminate bandits like this. There are also armors. If it is serious, it can be called a rebellion."

Logically speaking, this is really the case.

But right now Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had some ideas about these armors, so they asked people to bring them up.

After careful study and two hacks, it was determined that these armors were not only light, but also strong and easy to use.

Much better than the armor used in the military today. Qian Jiujiu stared at the bandits.

"Are you planning to be bandits for the rest of your life? Just like now, harming the common people and waiting for death?"

"When will one day, oh no, be arrested and executed just like today?"

Forehead! The thieves looked at Qian Jiujiu in confusion: "You're talking as if we still have a way out."

Qian Jiujiu said with a smile: "Since my concubine intervenes, there is naturally a way out."

"Your boss has extraordinary skills. I can recommend him to join the imperial court."

"Concentrate on making all kinds of weapons for the imperial court, and they will be reused by the emperor. The future is bright."

"Of course, the premise is that your boss has the same character as you said, and there is no human life in his hands."

Hearing this, the bandit immediately patted his chest and promised, "I promise, our boss is a blacksmith."

"He's different from us. He's not lazy, but he was forced to do nothing, and he only likes blacksmithing, so he came with us."

"And because of this ability, we are regarded as the boss."

Qian Jiujiu looked at the few people in front of him: "So, whether your boss will be a bandit or a member of the court in the future depends on your current choice."

"Don't worry, this concubine is the side-by-side princess, it is impossible to lie to you."

This name is too big, the side-by-side princess who loves the people like a son, can be trusted.

Several people looked at each other, not to mention, their feelings for the boss were quite sincere, and they all began to think about it.

"Princess, can we go back and ask the boss what he means alone?"

For such an important matter, let's ask the boss first.

Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "Okay, who do you choose to go back?"

"I can let him go now."

After discussing with several people, a fast runner was finally selected.

Qian Jiujiu did what she said, and really let people go.

It's just that when the person walked forward, someone followed behind him, but the person in front who was buried in the road didn't notice it at all.

The rest of the people are still thinking, will their boss agree?

Mu Yexiao called General Du and sent a team to follow, if there were not many bandits.

Just arrest them all and say that no matter what the reason is, these people have violated the laws of the Great Zhou.

Even talented people should be punished after breaking the law.

What's more, if you want to build a city right now, you still need manpower! These people came at exactly the right time.

If they really have no lives in their hands, give them a chance.

The people being followed didn't know it, so they took them back to their lair.

The old lair of this group of bandits is on the top of a deep mountain, and the bottom is covered with dense forests.

It's really hard to find without an acquaintance to lead the way.

However, there are already acquaintances leading the way, and General Du led a team of people to the top of the mountain.

The bandits didn't react and were arrested directly.

The person leading the way in front was dumbfounded, and turned to look at the soldiers: "You guys follow me because you don't keep promises."

Seeing the angry look of the bandit, he turned out to be cute, General Du twitched his lips.

"Arrest everyone, where's your boss? I suspect you can't pass on the word, so let me ask myself."

All the bandits were still confused after being caught: "Where are there so many soldiers here?"

"Isn't it specially to deal with us? If you get caught, you won't be beheaded, right?"

"We haven't harmed anyone, we just grabbed some food."

hehe! General Du sneered: "You haven't harmed anyone? Because you stole food."

"How many people starve to death because of lack of food, you don't think that they either killed people directly or did no harm."

"Who is your boss? Do you dare to do it or not?"

In fact, the bandits' weapons are really not bad, but it's a pity that they are inexperienced, and everyone regards them as soldiers of the imperial court.

I never doubted it at all, so I have been doing pretty well all along.

A bald man stood up: "I am their boss. What are you going to tell me?"

Looking at the man in front of him, General Du felt that he didn't look like a master.

"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's that the princess wants to see you, so take them all away."

Make sure to find the boss of this bandit before you can return.

But the bandit boss was a little confused, what princess? Where did the princess come from here?

When he saw Qian Jiujiu, the bald head was still a little uncertain, but he actually saw Da Zhou's side-by-side princess.

These days are enough for Qian Jiujiu to send people out to investigate clearly that the behavior of these bandits is indeed as they said.

It was just grabbing some things by force, and it didn't force people to death, so it's not a crime to die.

Seeing the bald head kneeling in front of her, Qian Jiujiu spoke leisurely.

"Forging weapons privately is something the court cannot tolerate, and you have gathered so many people, do you know what crime it is?"

The bald head's heart sank. Counting this, I'm afraid it really is not a small crime.

"Princess, will we be sentenced to death?"

The corners of Qian Jiujiu's mouth curled up: "It seems that you know that what happened when you sat down is enough to be sentenced to death."

Just making weapons privately is the death penalty. Not to mention, there are so many people.

"Princess, although we have done some bad things, but the crime is not worthy of death, please forgive me."

"Wangfei sees me at this time, does it mean that Wangfei doesn't want to kill us?"

This bald head is still a smart man.

Qian Jiujiu appreciates smart people: "That's right, the main reason I saw you was to see if you were worth my help."

"It hasn't disappointed me so far. Now you have two choices in front of you."

"One is that you will build weapons for the imperial court in the future, and bring your brothers to stay and build Huangshan Pass together."

"The second thing is that General Du succeeded in suppressing the bandits as soon as he came. You are all meritorious."

The corner of the bald man's mouth twitched. The so-called meritorious service must be the dead.

"I choose one."

For the sake of his brothers, he seemed to have no other choice, so he simply chose one.

Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "In that case, I'll let General Du arrange it."

"What about you! Go and exercise first, stay and build Huangshan Pass together."

In front of Huangshan Pass, apart from this small town, there is still a barren hill ahead.

What they have to do now is to build a city wall on the barren hill.

Enclose the part of the barren hills, and the rear should be able to open up to accommodate 200,000 soldiers.

Fortunately, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had already chosen the place, so they talked about the bandits.

Tell the nearby towns that there is no need to worry about bandits coming to collect offerings in the future.

Only then did the nearby towns realize that there are bandits here, which is really amazing.

Fortunately, the bandits have been wiped out now, and the city above does not know about such a big matter.

When he received the news here, the county magistrate was even more frightened into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the prince and concubine didn't pursue the matter, so they hurriedly took people to make amends and meet those so-called bandits by the way.

Qian Jiujiu also knew that it was normal for a county magistrate to manage so many places.

Fortunately, nothing major happened. After seeing it, they let people leave.

They started to build the city wall ahead, and the mountain next door could be used to mine stones.

For mining stones, the bald head is very strong, so he stood up automatically, intending to atone for his sin.

And his brothers all came to work as stone movers and began to build the city wall.

The 50,000 soldiers started today and finally had something to do instead of eating and drinking for free.

There are still 200,000 soldiers arriving here one after another, and they can keep up with food and grass.

The situation here is going well. I have to say that General Du is very capable.

After discussing with Mu Yexiao, Qian Jiujiu decided to go back to the grassland to see the situation.

General Du insisted on finding a carriage from this remote village: "My lord, my concubine, this carriage is for you."

It was indeed easier to set off with a carriage, so Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao accepted it.
