Chapter 20 Great Cause Tinder
As the highest commander of Black Bear Castle, Du Xuan naturally needs to have a comprehensive understanding of his territory, especially his people.
Although the people in Black Bear Castle are now refugees gathered by Du Feng, these refugees are all with their families and are obviously kind. They only have no way out to survive because they have no way out.
Whoosh!
A small sandbag flew to Du Xuan from somewhere. If Du Xuan was an ordinary person, he would have been hit by the sandbag. Du Xuan turned his body slightly and easily took the sandbag into his hand.
A boy about five or six years old stood aside in a daze. The child was obviously frightened because he saw his sandbag flying towards the most powerful man in the Black Bear Castle, the third son of the Du family.
"Whose child is not good at discipline, he almost hit Mr. Du!" Du Feng shouted with dissatisfaction.
Soon a young woman in a ragged clothes rushed out of a room, walked over and brought the boy who had just thrown the sandbag to Du Xuan to kneel down: "Three young master, don't be surprised. My little girl is unintentional. I will discipline him well when I go back."
"Sister-in-law, get up, it doesn't matter if the children play. Don't be so scared, I'm not a robber who kills without blinking." Du Xuan quickly helped the boy and the young woman up, then turned around and glared at Du Feng.
Du Feng quickly drooped his head, his eyes, nose, heart, and heart.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, the third son." The young woman thanked you repeatedly.
"Sister-in-law, where did you come from? Daqi has been doing well in recent years. How could you not live a life of refugees?" Du Xuan asked.
"Oh! If life can continue, who would be willing to be refugees? We are from Lantian Castle, Wei, Xining. Although there have been no natural disasters in recent years, there are human disasters. The barbarians attacked the border, and all the guards in the fort went to the border. In the past, the wild beasts came out to cause disaster, and the guards in the fort would be responsible for driving and killing them. Once the guards left and the barbarian beasts came out, we ordinary people could not deal with them at all. The fertile fields were destroyed and the houses were destroyed. Naturally, we can't live this life." The young woman sighed and shook her head.
"Not? Even if the guards are conquered, there should be militias in the fort?" Du Xuan asked in confusion. Du Xuan was still very familiar with the system of the Great Qi.
"Military groups? Militia are all nobles and powerful. They wish that all the common people would destroy their homes, so they could occupy all the fields. Once we left, our land would become wasteland, and the nobles and powerful men would get a large area of land without any effort. All our villages were broken, and most of them sold their bodies to the nobles and powerful families as servants." The young woman said.
"Then you?" Du Xuan asked.
"Those nobles and powerful men only need labor. We have old people above and young people below, so they don't want to keep idle people." said the young woman.
"I am different from those powerful people. I don't want any of those who abandon their families and children, just good people. You can live well in the fort. I am Du Xuan in Black Bear Castle for a day, and I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. Now life is harder, and when the land in Black Bear Castle is harvested, life will get better and better in the future." Du Xuan said.
"Thank you, Master Three. We are living a good life now. We have a full meal every day and eat wild beast meat. This is all the kindness and righteousness of Master Three. In the future, we will work hard for Master Three!" said the young woman.
"You don't have to work hard, as long as everyone does their best. Everyone must understand that this Black Bear Castle belongs not only to my Du family, but also to everyone." Du Xuan said loudly.
At this time, there were already many residents of Black Bear Castle around. When he heard Du Xuan's words, he thought about the time he lived in Black Bear Castle, and naturally he realized that Du Xuan's words were real. Du Xuan was different from other nobles. They originally thought that when they came to the remote and remote village of Black Bear Castle, they would have to live a hard life, but they did not expect that this place would be a paradise for refugees. Not to mention anything else, the full meals and wild beast meat of the three meals a day were real. Here, they saw the hope of living and working in peace.
"Thank you, the third son, for your kindness! We will do our best to contribute to the Black Bear Castle in the future!"
"Yes! If the barbarians dare to come to Black Bear Castle, all of us will fight against the barbarians!"
"Sales for the third son!"
...
The more people around were gathering, and the crowd was in high spirits, turning this place into the Black Bear Castle National Congress.
Du Xuan naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. He stood at a high place and pressed down with his hands. The noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and he was silent, waiting for Du Xuan to speak.
"Dear fellow villagers! When Du Xuan first arrived at Black Bear Castle, there were only a few dilapidated thatched huts in Black Bear Castle, and none of them had a resident. But now, I saw a hopeful black Bear Castle slowly rising. Tens of thousands of acres of wasteland have been planted with red sun rice. In another two months, we will be able to eat the food we planted ourselves. When I brought you here, I asked Du Feng to assure you that you can have a full meal after coming here and have enough beast meat. But now it is not enough. I hope that your life will be better, you can wear beautiful clothes and live in clean houses. In the future, the children of Black Bear Castle will be able to make a name for themselves! Civilians also have a way to be promoted to nobles!..."
Du Xuan became more and more excited as he spoke. Before he knew it, he attached Haoran's righteousness to his voice, turning a speech into an education. The people of Black Bear Castle looked at Du Xuan's eyes, from the initial gratitude to the worship later. If the barbarians attacked at this time, Du Xuan would give him a command, even the people of Black Bear Castle, even the little kid who was still playing with sandbags just now, would pick up weapons to fight the barbarians.
The more than 100 officers and soldiers of Black Bear Castle were completely loyal to Du Xuan at this time. Ordinary soldiers will be defeated when the casualties reach a certain percentage. However, even if the loyal soldiers fight to the last person, as long as the leader does not give orders to retreat, no one will escape.
Du Xuan himself did not realize that he had a random speech and had planted the seeds for his great cause.
After Du Xuan's speech, the most direct consequence was that the construction speed of Black Bear Castle suddenly increased, almost doubled compared to usual. The area of reclaimed wasteland suddenly increased from 10,000 acres to 20,000 acres.
In addition, several Black Bear Fortress refugees voluntarily asked to go back and get relatives to settle in Black Bear Fortress. Sergeants in Black Bear Fortress also voluntarily asked to bring their families to Black Bear Fortress. More people wrote letters and asked their relatives and friends to join Black Bear Fortress to join Black Bear Fortress. In this way, the population of Black Bear Fortress increased every day.
