In fact, they didn't really trust Lin Jiuxi, especially after they learned that the leader of the Taoyuan Gang was actually a woman, this idea was particularly prominent.
If the leader of the Taoyuan Gang was a burly and strong man like Zhang Yi, they would be more loyal to him even if he was a little fierce to them.
But a woman...
This inevitably made them look down on him.
"I know that there must be many of you who are dissatisfied with me." Lin Jiuxi stood on the newly built platform. Her petite figure seemed to contain enormous energy. She raised her head high.
"Many of you may have gone through many days without enough food or warm clothes, but you can definitely beat me." Just based on the physiological differences between men and women, Lin Jiuxi could not deny his lack of strength.
But in terms of fighting skills, she can make up for this slight deficiency.
"Since you all understand, I don't need to say more. If you are willing to trust me, as long as I have something to eat, you will never starve. If you don't believe me, you can leave at any time, and I will never stop you. I only ask one thing of you, and that is to obey the rules."

Some of these people had made a fortune in business before, but were forced to wander for various reasons. They could understand better than those who only farmed how difficult it was to feed more than a thousand people.
But if he disbanded the Taoyuan Gang, the city lord would definitely not resettle them, so where could they go? What would be the difference from the beginning?
"You better keep your voice down. If you anger the boss, what will you do if he doesn't give you food in the future?"
"No one answered. No one wants to try, right?" Lin Jiuxi asked one last time.
It is a simplified version of the current law imitated by Lin Jiuxi. Any crime will have corresponding punishment.
The city lord didn't dare to confront them and just kept urging them.
Look at the boss's thinking level, it is indeed different! You can never go wrong by following the boss.
Everyone has work to do and everyone has food to eat.
"It's just a little female bandit, but is it worth making such a fuss? It seems that City Lord Lu hasn't seen the world for too long." The Minister of Personnel said sarcastically.
It turned out that although they had not become refugees and could still rent land to farm, their lives were extremely hard and not as good as those of the Taoyuan Gang. So they made this decision.
"Since there isn't any, then you better listen carefully. I am the boss and I am not bringing you to fight with anyone. I am doing this to keep you well fed and clothed, not to make fun of you. Do you understand?"
The people in the audience looked at each other, and some quiet discussions were heard.
"So how can you possibly accept being led by a woman?"
When the time comes, the supporting actress will definitely persuade the emperor to take advantage of his misfortune and give this guy a good beating.
No one said anything at this time, because everyone knew that this was impossible.
"Okay, let me assume that there is someone among you who is extremely brave and can knock down ten people or kill a hundred people. But how many people can you feed? Now, there are 1,622 people in front of you. Can you be responsible for the food, drink, defecation and urination of these 1,622 people by relying on martial arts? If anyone thinks he can do it, then I will immediately step down and let others do this laborious task."
Everyone should be self-reliant, and even those with poor physical strength should do what they are able to do.
"Really? But she is your daughter after all. Although she did it, you are her father. Don't you have any responsibility at all?" the emperor asked back.
The largest group of people attracted here were refugees fleeing from Hezhou.
I promised them that I would not let them starve to death.
You know, there are only two thousand soldiers in the city. If Lin Jiuxi wants to do something, I'm afraid he will find it difficult to resist.
When more than a thousand refugees were about to starve to death outside the city, he was indifferent and didn't care.
In fact, the emperor himself thought so too.
He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please be clear. What that evil girl did had nothing to do with me. I am loyal and faithful, and the sun and the moon can testify to that. I have absolutely no other intentions!"
Lin Jiuxi replied: Unless the city lord can find a place to relocate them, disbanding is impossible.
However, they couldn't understand these words, and Lin Jiuxi was too lazy to explain.
With the rules in place, the Taoyuan Gang's planning became increasingly perfect.
"I understand!" Zhang Yi and the other thirty or so brothers echoed loudly.
The news reached the capital, and the emperor read the memorial in public during the morning court session.
After discovering this, he immediately did two things.
Continue asking: "Who can? Raise your hand. Anyone want to give it a try?"
After all, the city lord has been the city lord for so many years, and his mind is still quick.
This place was supposed to be a bandit's den, but Lin Jiuxi developed it into more and more like a paradise.
But with only 2,000 people, what great things can they achieve? It's simply not worth mentioning.
General Lin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"It seems that she still has some self-awareness."
"That's right. She's just a woman. Why should I obey her? I can knock her down with just one punch."
"In my opinion, it's better to let Zhang Yi be the big brother. He is good at martial arts and has a sense of loyalty! This kind of person is the big brother we should follow."
But now the two thousand people are in Lin Jiuxi's hands and are well fed and watered.
The city lord panicked when he heard the news.
"Your Majesty, please look into this matter. I really don't know anything about it. That bitch has been missing since she fled with the prince. I already thought she was dead. I don't have such a daughter!" General Lin quickly drew a line between himself and Lin Jiuxi. He really wished that Lin Jiuxi would die early so as not to implicate himself.
The second thing was to give an order to Lin Jiuxi, asking her to disband the Taoyuan Gang, and he would let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, he would report to the court and ask the court to send troops to suppress the bandits.
As a result, the Taoyuan Gang became more and more famous, and it actually attracted many people to join it.
The refugees in the Taoyuan Gang actually lived a better life than the farmers around them, so the people around them became more and more restless.
The first thing was to report to the court, saying that Lin Jiuxi was gathering a crowd to cause chaos outside his own city and refused to repent.
Those who were not on good terms with General Lin quickly jumped out to agree: "General Lin, as the saying goes, like father, like daughter. There is no such thing as a dog daughter in a tiger's gate. You are her biological father!"
The rules were set a few days ago and posted at the entrance of the newly built brick building.
Lin Jiuxi's clear and loud voice came: "I know all your thoughts. But have you ever thought about it? Even if you are good at fighting, two fists can only beat four hands. Can you beat ten people? What about a hundred people? Can anyone do it?"
Of course Lin Jiuxi couldn't agree to that.
When the refugees who came later saw that Zhang Yi and others whom they admired were so supportive of Lin Jiuxi, they naturally had nothing to say and shouted together, knowing what they understood.
General Lin was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and made a note of him in his heart.
Since someone was willing to join, it would be difficult for Lin Jiuxi to refuse.
He had only one purpose in reading it out in public, and that was to hand over the task of suppressing the bandits to General Lin.
Lin Jiuxi glanced coldly at everyone in the audience.
He began to panic.
"This is the good daughter you raised? She becomes a bandit today, and will she want to commit treason tomorrow? General Lin, you have to think carefully." The emperor coldly criticized him.
There were even some people who didn't have any land, but they wanted to join them with their wives, children and belongings.
However, after two months, the Taoyuan Gang grew from the original thirty or so people to a gang of nearly two thousand people.
"That being said, Lin Jiuxi is your daughter after all. General Lin, do you think you can deny everything just by talking about it?" The person who was trying to take advantage of the situation pressed on.
The emperor acquiesced.
General Lin realized this and took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, since the bandits led by Lin Jiuxi have endangered the people, we should send troops to suppress the bandits and protect the safety of the people of Nanzhao."
"That's right." The emperor said calmly.
General Lin continued, knowing that his words were in line with the emperor's wishes, and continued: "Your Majesty, please consider my loyalty and allow me to make amends for my crime. I am willing to personally clean up Lin Jiuxi's shame."
