"Aren't you bandits?" Zhang Yu came forward and looked at the "refugees" in front of him.

In fact, these days, refugees and bandits do not have an accurate boundary.

Refugees who cannot survive will become bandits, and these people in front of them may also be transformed into bandits.

"We don't want to be bandits yet!" said the leader slowly.

It means a bit threatening. If Zhang Yu doesn't take them in, then there is a high probability that they will become bandits.

Yes, it is now late winter and the climate becomes colder every day.

Now that we can't settle down, there is not enough food, no one can survive the spring.

Rather than everyone is going to die, it is better to die some people so that the rest can survive.

"What should I do? Should I take it in?" Bu Bin looked at Zhang Yu.

"There are at least three thousand. If we keep it in, we could only last for one month until the autumn harvest!" Bo Hao felt that there was no need, "There is no need to be afraid of them. If we really fight, we will have the advantage!"

He saw that these three thousand people had more women and fewer men, and there were only more than a thousand people who could fight.

In addition, he is hungry for a long time and is not a special soldier.

I really have to fight, I can fight ten of them on my own side!

"Brother..." Zhang Ning's mind was also messy at this moment. Three thousand people knelt in front of him, which was shocking.

When I was a child, I followed my father to treat my illness. At that time, there were many poor people like this.

They are grateful to the Taiping people who gave free talismans to cure diseases.

Of course not everyone is, but some people are shouting and scolding Taiping Education for not curing their children.

If you can't cure it, it's not illness or hunger!

Their children all starved to death... Only this one, Zhang Jiao could not save them!

If the other party scolds, the people themselves don’t know who they should vent their resentment against.

After scolding me hard, at least I still have the courage to welcome tomorrow's arrival.

If you hadn't really witnessed the hell on earth, why should you rebel in Zhang Jiao's identity and status?

Zhang Ning, who was deeply influenced by Zhang Jiao, could not ignore these poor people who could not survive.

"Sister, don't say it..." Zhang Yu shook his head, then looked at Bo Hao and Bu Bin, "A month ago, our situation was similar to theirs. There were only three thousand people, what's there to be afraid of?"

When Bo Hao and Bu Bin heard this, they stopped saying anything.

Zhang Yu slowly stepped forward and said to the person in charge, "I can make the decision and shelter you. There are some things I want to declare that this is not a village, but a temple. We are all practitioners of Taoism. If you want to join, you must convert to my teachings."

"As long as we can survive, even if it is the Taiping Sect, we are willing to join!" The leader replied immediately.

Zhang Yu didn't say anything nonsense when he heard this. He found a hillside as a high platform to hold a teaching ceremony for these 3,000 people.

At the same time, take out the food and let everyone have a full meal first, and people's hearts will immediately calm down.

"Two thousand two hundred women, eight hundred men... how to deal with this?" Bo Hao took the opportunity to count and went up to ask.

"It's not easy to deal with it?" Zhang Yu smiled, "Just let them re-establish their families, but you can't force them, you have to voluntarily!"

The less than 300 Yellow Turban Army soldiers who followed him out were all male. They still wanted to say when they would match them.

Now, there are more than 2,000 young and strong women who are delivered to the door.

Not to mention pairing, it’s okay to match one or three!

"This is also a solution..." The leader of these three thousand people, the man named Fang Da, also expressed his approval when he heard this.

More than 2,000 widows, it’s not good to just stay alone like this.

Most of them have no husband or children, and they live like a walking corpse.

Fang Da was even a little worried that these people would ignore them, and once they were alone and thought too much, would they find a short-term view.

From this perspective, the leader’s consideration is indeed very reasonable.

That night, a bonfire party was indispensable.

There is definitely no singing and dancing, and it is directly turned into a large-scale blind date scene.

Three hundred bachelors jumped up and down, like wild beasts in spring.

The effect is not very good. Most women are still immersed in the pain of losing their family and do not intend to rebuild their families.

Finally, Fang Da came forward and said that he would set up a new family tonight and let them choose earlier.

The weak position of women during this period is highlighted at this time.

Most of them accepted their fate, and chose someone who was still in line with their own interests, so they started a family.

"Don't be proud of you guys!" Looking at a group of soldiers hugging left and right, Zhang Yu came forward, "The ugly words can be said in the front. They may be your women starting tonight. But they have the final say whether you want to get on the bed. Whoever dares to use the strong will be punished by him personally! Also, let me know in the future that whoever you dislikes them will be punished!"

When everyone heard this, they were a little depressed.

It turns out that marrying a wife is only the first step, and you have to keep working hard to get on the bed?

Fortunately, it was not a big deal, so it was basically settled.

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, many women who have reorganized their families gave gratitude to the young leader.

Unfortunately, there is no way to reorganize your family, so it takes some time to adapt.

Fang Da also nodded silently. The leader is young, he handles things very steadily, and he is very kind-hearted.

As the bonfire party ended, everyone went back.

In fact, there is no place to go back, just to prepare more bonfires, and everyone will spend the whole night around the bonfire.

It takes tomorrow to start building houses, reclaiming farmland, etc.

"Just look at the weather, don't count on reclaiming farmland." Zhang Yu looked at the sky.

It's rare that it hasn't snowed yet, but the weather is getting colder.

The ground in winter is very hard and it will cause great harm to farm tools.

Not to mention reclaiming farmland, even building infrastructure houses will become a problem.

Even if it is a thatched house, it must be found a way to build it.

If there is no place to shelter from the wind and rain, just the thin clothes of everyone are prone to problems.

"We have to find a way to get some money..." Bo Hao rubbed his hands, "Do you want us to cover our faces and find a place..."

"What should I do if I have exposed?" Bu Bin retorted directly, "We can't even stay here by then! Only those three thousand people are counting on them to stand on our side?"

"Who is right?" Bo Hao smiled grimly, "Will the government believe that they are innocent when we are mixed with us? Besides, how do they become refugees?"

"It can't be related to the government, right?" Zhang Ning asked back.

"That's it!" Bo Hao smiled, "They are from Dongjun. When we were in charge, they did not participate. We did not harm them. Instead, the gentry falsely accused them of being related to the Taiping Cult and wanted to arrest them."

Rather than saying that he was greedy for the land of these people... Zhang Yu immediately understood.

The weather has been abnormal in recent years, either too drought or too flooded.

Originally, the squire only needed some tricks to break these people, get rid of their fields, and turn them into tenant farmers.

But since it can be obtained for free and can also destroy the Yellow Turban thieves and make contributions, why not do it?

"Aren't you afraid that this matter can't be hidden?" Zhang Ning felt incredible.

"Now, no one of the officials in each county bought it. Just make money, who cares about your other things?" Bo Hao mocked.

The rest can basically be thought of with your knees...

From Dongjun to here, it was also difficult for them to become bandits.
