Li Jing accepted Xing'er's family, and the happiest thing was Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang. The two had long fallen in love with this little girl who was a little sensible and stubborn. They were worried that Li Jing would not want to take in this poor girl. However, Li Jing had such a sensual side that he actually accepted Xing'er's whole family.

However, Li Jing and everyone did not expect the reaction of his handling of this matter to be seen by other hungry people nearby. The hungry people had long been lit up at Li Jing's grain truck, but they were all afraid of the bright clothes and angry horses of Li Jing and other people, especially the saddles of Li Jing and others, with bows, arrows, swords, and horse spears hanging on the saddles of Li Jing and others. But when they saw a little girl Xing'er approaching the road, they not only did not be scolded and driven away, but instead obtained two large bags of life-saving food. Some people who were close to them also heard that Xing'er's family was actually taken over as servants, and the hearts of the crowd were boiling.

Along the way, they fled to famine, slept in the open, were looked down upon by people, were chased and bitten by evil dogs, and ate wild vegetables, tree bark, grass roots, and had never eaten any bitterness. Now they saw a kind man of such kindness, and everyone finally couldn't help but pounce on him.

After a moment, a black crow was kneeling down in front of Li Jing and others. The hungry people, both men, women, young and old, kowtowed like pounding garlic and said all kinds of auspicious words loudly.

"Xiao Shitou, take out the dry food he brought and share it with everyone." Looking at these expectant faces, Li Jing really didn't know how to refuse. Xiao Shitou greeted the dogs and took out the dry food he brought, such as cooking cakes, sesame cakes, jerky meat and other dry foods, and distributed them to the people who were already hungry and shining.

"Don't rob, don't rob, everyone has a share, everyone comes one by one."

Without a moment, all the dry food that everyone brought was not left and all the hungry people were distributed to dozens of hungry people. Seeing that everyone was given a portion of dry food, Li Jing sighed and said, "Let's go!"

The team continued to set off, but what Li Jing didn't expect was that the hungry people who had just eaten the dry food were all following behind the convoy when they saw Li Jing continue to rush, hanging from a distance of more than ten steps.

"Divid a truck of food to these hungry people." Li Jing frowned, and his heart felt heavy. Although food is expensive, it seems nothing compared to the lives of many people. Although Li Jing knew that he was not a savior, he saved one person, ten people, and hundreds of people, but he was unable to save thousands of people. But he really could not remain indifferent to these hungry people.

However, what Li Jing expected was that when Xiao Shitou wanted to distribute the food to them, a man in his forties came out among the hungry people and said, "Young Master, we don't want to ask for the young master's food for nothing. We are also good villagers. We need strength and strength. Although we are weak now, we can work in a few days. We see that the young master is kind and rich, and we must have a big family business. We don't ask for anything else, we just want the young master to save him. We don't care about our two meals a day, and we are willing to make cattle and horses for the young master."

"You mean you want to go to my house to do work?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment and heard the meaning of the man's words.

The man nodded quickly, and they all saw that Li Jing was such a kind of kind man. Today, he finally met a young man who gave everyone food, but no matter how much food he gave, he would not eat it for long. But if he could follow this kind man, even if he sold himself as a slave, he could save his family's life. What's more, this young man was a kind man, and even if he was a slave, he would be a good place to go.

"As long as the young master is willing to take us in and eat food, we are willing to serve as slaves to the young master."

Li Jing's family also had slaves. Although Wan'er had no one in the Li family before, the fact was that she was a slave registered for slavery. He knew very well that he was a slave. Once a slave was a slave, he would be like a master's pig or dog. Even if a good person and a untouchable person intermarried, he would have to be exiled. For example, Wan'er could only be Li Jing's concubine at most, not a wife. Although a slave-born person could be exiled by the master's family in the future, basically those who had been slaves could not participate in the imperial examination or enter the officialdom for several generations.

"Why just accept them? Look at them so pitiful. If you don't care, they will probably not be able to survive this year's end." Yu Youniang couldn't stand the young children among the hungry people and couldn't help but persuade Li Jing.

Lin Wei, who was standing beside him, also rode his horse to Li Jing and whispered: "I think Mrs. Yu is right, you can accept them. Anyway, there are not many of them, and you just accept them for some food."

Li Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lin, you said it's easy, just some food. Now that the food is getting more and more expensive, I'm not worried about accepting these dozens of people, but I'm just afraid that there will be some things. What if other hungry people hear this news and come over and ask me to take me in?"

"Didn't you say last time that you would buy some land and build a manor in the countryside this time? Then you just take these people down to help you farm. If you use serfs to farm, it would be much more cost-effective than asking tenants to farm. As long as the serfs care about their food and use, and give some rewards, they don't have to share the money with the tenants." Zhang Hong also touched his beard and suggested on the side: "Besides, many of these people are very burly and in their prime. Sanlang, you can choose some strong people from them and make them your servants. Even if you take these servants to Shamen Town at that time, it is not counted among the three hundred soldiers in Shamen Town."

"There is still this? You can take the servants to take office, and it is not included in the number of troops?" This was the first time Li Jing heard about this.

Lin Wei smiled and said, "Of course, the servants are not counted as the number of soldiers. However, not everyone can raise a starting servant. The servants are not official, but private soldiers that only generals can own. However, because they are not in the number of soldiers, the equipment and food and salary of these servants are naturally not within the supply of the court. All equipment and food and salary rewards must be paid by the generals themselves. According to convention, you are now a seventh-rank Zhongzhen general and can have fifty servants. No matter how many, it is a bit inappropriate."

After hearing this, Li Jing thought. He is now a general of Shamen Town, with 300 soldiers under his command. If he brings fifty more soldiers, Lin Wei and others will also bring fifty, and then they will lead ten people at the first level. After calculation, they can have 300 private soldiers. Wouldn't that mean that the soldiers and horses under him can double, from 300 to 600? Six hundred people, and six hundred people. Li Jing couldn't help but feel moved.

After pondering for a while, Li Jing nodded: "Just do what you said, Xiao Shitou, tell them, and I will accept them and let them go back to Wangli Village with their family."

Hearing Li Jing agreeing to everyone's request to join, dozens of hungry people cheered in unison. Their faces did not have the loss and heaviness of turning from good people to untouchables, but they only had the joy and ease of finally finding a way out. Although they became slaves, at least they survived, and the whole family could survive.

The team continued to move forward, and along the way, Li Jing and others rode their horses in front, and the convoy was in the middle, with dozens of hungry people behind them, dragging their families and their families to follow. Yu Youniang and Li Huier were actually very sympathetic to these hungry people and deliberately let those women who were too weak, the elderly and the children, sit in the carriage.

When they arrived two miles outside Wangli Village, Xiao Shitou could no longer control his excitement and asked Li Jing for instructions, and immediately rode the red horse that Li Jing gave him to run back to report the message. When Li Jing and others arrived a hundred steps away from the entrance of Wangli Village, the gate of Wangli Village had already opened wide, and the sound of gongs in the village could be heard from a distance, and then a group of men, women, young and old ran out to greet him.

The villagers surrounded Li Jing and others in the middle, and were shocked by Li Jing and his angry horses. Especially the dozen big horses under the crowd, bright clothes were nothing for the village households, but a livestock on horseback made people's eyes shine. Many onlookers were even more envious, even saying that the Li family's scholar Lang was not an ordinary person. When he took the initiative to join the army on behalf of the Wang Lao Village Chief's family, he became prosperous after one trip. Previously, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop in Dengzhou City had returned twice, and when they brought a lot of money to several families, they were still a little unbelievable. At present, they finally saw Li Jing and the young people who went out of the village riding tall horses and wearing silk and silk, and they dared not have any doubts.

Many people ran out of the crowd, all of whom were young children who went out. They each held their children and hugged them, full of joy and excitement for seeing each other after they left. Li Jing was looking for the figure of his mother and wife in the crowd, and saw Wan'er standing in the distance, holding Han Shi, Gui Niang and two sisters-in-law.

Li Jing quickly got off the horse and was about to meet his family, but he saw a familiar voice beside him. The old village chief walked over with a hunched back and leaned on a crutch with a smile on his face: "Sanlang, you are back. You have been missing home for more than a month after going out. You go to see your mother and wife first. I will go to your house to find you when the evening party."

Li Jing hurriedly bowed: "The old village chief is so polite. When I left home, it was thanks to the old village chief who gave me armor and horses with food from my family. Li Jing dared not forget this. I will come to my door to thank the evening party in person. How could you go to my house in person?"

Seeing that Li Jing in front of him was still as humble as he was at the time, the old village chief's eyes were full of praise and even more emotion. The Li family Sanlang was indeed not simple. He had already become a seventh-rank official in a short time, but he still had no pride when dealing with people.

The old village chief smiled and said, "It's different from the past. You are now a seventh-rank general. The old man relied on his seniority and did not kneel down in front of you, but he didn't dare to let you go to my house in person. It must be my visit."

The villagers next to him were stunned when they heard the old village chief's words. They had only heard Manager Wang, who had sent things back to several stores last time, say that the scholar seemed to be a disciple of the governor, but they didn't hear that he had become a general. Everyone was not sure what the disciple of the governor was, but when it came to the seventh rank general, everyone understood. The county magistrate of Wendeng County was also a seventh rank, so wouldn't it be that the scholar Lang was as high as the county magistrate in the county? For a moment, everyone looked at Li Jing with a bit of awe in addition to being eager.

Li Jing finally told the old village chief that he would come to the door later, and then walked towards his family while greeting the villagers. After walking a few steps, he heard a sound of horse hooves, a stream of smoke and dust rose, and a team of horses had already arrived.

"Brother Ji Yu, brother, I'm late to welcome you, please forgive me!" A thick voice exploded like a thunder. Li Jing frowned and turned around and looked at him. He saw that the familiar and unfamiliar Chishan Town General and the commander of the town was Cui Decheng. He jumped off his horse from afar and walked towards Li Jing. When he walked to Li Jing, he waved his hand. Two knights immediately dragged one of them up and threw the man in front of Li Jing.

Li Jing looked at the obese body in confusion, and after a long time, he vaguely recognized that the person covered in blood and his hands and feet were like zongzi, which was almost killed by Zhang Kuguan.
