Chapter 636 Negotiation

All of a sudden, the people in the village became tense, with Henry as the center, all the old people immediately gathered in the middle of the square.

"How many people?" Henry De asked immediately.

"Uh... about a dozen or so." The old man reporting here replied.

"Ten people?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, ten people is too little, isn't it that the other side is here to fight?

Hearing that there were few people on the other side, the old people here were slightly relieved, Henry took a breath, and then said: "Let's go, let's see what the other party means."

Henry De took the lead, and a group of old people immediately walked towards the entrance of the village. In order to strengthen their courage and scare others, these old people took all the dung forks and sickles, which looked very imposing. Li Huailin and the others naturally followed behind to see what was going on.

Soon they encountered the opposite team head-on. The person who reported the letter said the same thing. There were a total of ten people on the other side. The one who took the lead in the front was the officer named Severn whom Li Huailin had met before, and a dozen guards behind them. In terms of equipment, there is no way to compare the two sides. Although the armor worn by the soldiers here is not very sophisticated and the weapons they hold are not very sophisticated, they can only be said to be ordinary goods, but they are much better than dung forks and sickles.

"You...why are you here?" Henry De took a step forward and asked, pointing at Servin, who was obviously the leader on the opposite side. There were more than a hundred people standing behind him, and Henry could be a little stronger Emboldened.

"..." Sewen and the others stopped in their tracks, and looked at each other for a while. Just when the old people here were very nervous, Sewen here suddenly made a big bow. The whole body arched forward 90 degrees, "I'm very sorry!"

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback, looking at Sewen inexplicably.

"I'm really sorry, I'm here to apologize to everyone this time." Servin raised his head and said, "We never expected that the establishment of this military camp here would bring so much trouble to everyone's lives until Now that we have realized it, we are really very sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of the soldiers of the whole battalion."

"Ah... this..." The old people didn't know what to do now, they were planning to fight, but the other party apologized directly, what should they do now?

"Sir, your barracks has really caused us a lot of trouble, and we are indeed very angry. We can accept your apology, but the question is how you plan to deal with this problem." Henry De thought for a while. He thought about it, and then he came out and said.

"Yes, yes, although you apologized, the barracks is still here, what are you going to do?" A group of old people also came to their senses. Although they apologized, the problem of the barracks is still not resolved.

"I'm here to deal with this problem." Sewen said immediately, "First of all, I'm very sorry to tell you that our barracks really cannot be moved. Due to some military reasons that cannot be made public, our barracks must It is set up here. And it is foreseeable that we will further expand the scale of the military camp in the future, and the impact on everyone may be even greater."

"How can this be done!" "Yes, yes." The old people here quit immediately, what's the use of apologizing, the other party actually wants to expand the barracks, isn't it even worse.

"Calm down, everyone, and listen to me." Sewen immediately raised his hand and said, it has a special sense of majesty, and it made the old people quiet all of a sudden, "I know this will bring everyone very big trouble,

So we held a meeting and decided to give you some subsidies to help you move out of here. "

"What, move away?" A group of old people immediately became confused, "You want us to leave?"

"Calm down, everyone, listen to me." Sewen shouted again, "This time, we are going to give you a one-time subsidy of 200 gold for severance pay, I think this is enough for everyone to leave here and start a new life Bar."

"200 gold..." All of a sudden the old people stopped talking. 200 gold is really a lot of money. I also said before that this village is very poor. The whole village put together more than 2 gold, and 200 gold , every family here can share close to 2 gold. According to their way of spending this money, it will be no problem to eat it for two years. As for the wooden houses in the village, the materials are all from the mountains, and they can be completely rebuilt in a random place within two months. This is indeed an acceptable method.

"Yes, 200 gold, and I will give you cash directly. This is the plan that everyone agreed to after our meeting and discussion. After all, we have caused you a lot of trouble, and we should take out the money." Ser Wen Seeing that the old people were a little moved, they immediately stepped up and said, "I don't know if everyone agrees with this plan?"

"This..." A group of old people were a little at a loss. Some people were obviously moved, but they were too embarrassed to agree now, so everyone looked at Henry one after another, wanting him to make an idea.

"My lord officer, we need to have a little discussion here to see if we can accept your plan. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?" Henry De said after thinking for a while.

"Of course it's no problem. For such a big matter, you have to discuss it with everyone. So let's do it. I'll do it again tomorrow morning, but everyone can tell me the result. What do you think?" Said Sewen .

"Yes, my lord, we will definitely give you an answer tomorrow." Henry De also nodded and said.

"Okay, then see you tomorrow." Servin nodded, and then slowly left with a dozen soldiers.

Just now when Sewen left here, the old people here immediately started discussing.

"Let us leave, but I have lived here for more than forty years, and now I am suddenly told to leave..."

"But a subsidy of 200 gold is indeed a very good condition..."

"This is our village, I don't want to leave."

"But the 200 gold is a lot of money for each family. It can be used to supplement the family, and I can send some to my son..."

Some people agree, and some people disagree. Of course, there are reasons for both sides, and no one can convince the other, so at this time everyone can only look at Henry.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing." Henry said, "It is true that the subsidy of 200 gold is very sincere, but many people, including me, don't really want to leave this land where we have lived for more than 40 years. You can't discuss this matter, I think we should ask Mrs. Vesna's opinion, everyone agrees?"

"Yes! We all listen to Mrs. Vesna." The old man below was right after thinking about it. Mrs. Vesna is still a trustworthy person.

So everyone hurriedly gathered at the door of the village chief's house. Mrs. Vesna just fell asleep at this time, but after hearing Henry's report here, she couldn't sleep anymore, and she walked out of the house directly on crutches. walked out.

"You... you bastards! Cough cough cough..." Mrs. Vesna was shaking with anger, and shouted at everyone, "What kind of place is this? This is where we have lived for more than forty years The land used to be a wasteland. My husband Green led everyone to build a village here. It took so much time to build the village. Now it has slowly developed to this scale. You actually abandoned it for a little money. After reading it, have you forgotten what happened forty years ago?"

"Look at this village, every house and every piece of land is built up bit by bit by us. In the past ten years, more than a dozen of your former comrades-in-arms have passed away one after another, and they are buried under this piece of land. Think about it for yourself, are you sorry for them? If they know that you have sold the land they fought for a few hundred gold coins to others, can they let you go? After a few years, when you go down there, you will have face Are you going to see them?" Mrs. Vesna's breath was short of breath, and Henry next to her immediately patted Mrs. Vesna's back to help her breathe.

The old people were also a little ashamed, especially the old people who agreed to leave before, all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Mrs. Vesna.

"I...wouldn't leave no matter what, even if I was left with my old life, I would fight them to the end. This is our land, how could it be taken away by these outsiders." Mrs. Vesna shouted .

"So do we!" Immediately, a few old people who didn't want to leave immediately shouted, "We have to fight to the end!"

Seeing that most of the people had already agreed with Mrs. Vesna, the remaining few old people who had originally agreed thought about it, and this was indeed the case, so they also shouted: "Mrs. Vesna, we listen to you Yes, fight to the end, our land must not be surrendered to them.”

"That's natural!" Mrs. Vesna said immediately, and turned to Li Huailin and the others here, "I'm very sorry, I made you laugh, this group of people is old, and there are more things to worry about. , please don’t mind, we will fight to the end, please help us, I am here to thank you.”

"Okay, Mrs. Vesna, we will definitely help." Hongyue here also said immediately.

"Okay, then everyone continue to prepare for the battle, we will answer them tomorrow, and we will never move away." Henry De said here.

"Okay!" A group of old people immediately shouted in unison.

"Boring!" Li Huailin said suddenly, "Too boring!"

"Oh?" Hongyue and the others looked at Li Huailin strangely, not knowing why Li Huailin said this suddenly.

However, Li Huailin seemed to have no intention of explaining, and said directly: "I have something to do, let's leave first, you take care of yourself, don't take care of me."
