I just said the most ordinary words, didn’t I say anything else?
Han Ruyun asked happily: "Zhou, Brother Zhou, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just plan to go out for a walk."
Zhou Bin walked out after saying that. Han Ruyun was so anxious that she was spinning around, but she didn't dare to say what she thought.
How she wanted to go out with Brother Zhou! But he didn't tell her, so she could only hold it back, and her tears were about to fall.
Zhou Bin didn't think too much about it. He walked quickly to the door and ran into Mr. Han who was walking in.
When Mr. Han saw him, he immediately bowed and said, "Young Master Zhou, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Bin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Uncle Han, why are you still like this? Didn't I tell you not to do this with me? I really don't like it."
Han Jinshu smiled and said, "As the saying goes, courtesy is the least annoying. How could I be impolite?"
Zhou Bin shook his head helplessly: "Uncle Han, what can I say to you?"
Han Jinshu said, "Okay, then I won't be polite. Zhou Bin, I have something important to discuss with you. Do you have time now?"
Zhou Bin was shocked when he heard this. Big deal? What big deal? Could it be that he wanted to marry his daughter to him again? Was he going to say it openly this time?
However, Zhou Bin really hadn't thought about this matter. He was not interested in these things at all at the moment.
So Zhou Bin asked, "Uncle Han, what's going on? Why are you so serious?"
Han Jinshu smiled mysteriously: "Come with me first, you will know in a moment."
Zhou Bin had no choice but to follow Han Jinshu to the main hall of his house and sit down.
Han Jinshu hurriedly ordered the servants to bring various fruits and snacks, as well as the best fragrant tea.
Then Han Jinshu smiled and said, "Zhou Bin, I'll have to trouble you to wait a little longer. Someone else is coming."
Zhou Bin was totally confused and had no idea what Han Jinshu was up to, so he had to sit and wait.
After a while, footsteps were heard at the door.
Zhou Bin saw six or seven old men walking in from outside, each holding various gifts in their hands. One of them was holding a big red envelope, but he had no idea what was in it.
When they enter the door, they must bow down.
When Zhou Bin looked around, he saw that the beards and eyebrows of these old men were all white, and they were still bowing to him. This was definitely inappropriate.
Zhou Bin hurriedly stood up and helped everyone up, saying, "Dear seniors, what are you doing? Please stand up quickly."
With Zhou Bin's persuasion, the few people finally did not kneel down, but they still bowed deeply to Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin had no choice but to return the greeting hurriedly, not knowing what they were doing here.
Han Jinshu introduced, "Young Master Zhou, these people are all respected elders in our Lao Miao Street. We invited you here today because we have an unwelcome request."
Zhou Bin then realized that these people came to ask him for something, no wonder they made such a grand ceremony.
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Han Jinshu said, "Young Master Zhou, you also know that our people have been bullied for too long, and everyone lives in fear every day."
At this point, an old man took over and said, "Yes, I have lived my whole life and have been bullied my whole life. I finally waited for Young Master Zhou to come and save us from the dire straits."
Han Jinshu took one look and immediately continued, "We can never repay your kindness to our Lao Miao Town. So we would like to ask you to be the commander-in-chief of our Lao Miao Town and keep the area safe."
Zhou Bin suddenly understood that these people wanted him to be the commander-in-chief!
He actually knew before that ordinary people were not qualified to be leaders here.
Only warriors are qualified to lead a region, and no warrior would be interested in a poor and remote place like Lao Miao Town.
Therefore, this place is a no-man's land, and any powerful person can bully everyone.
These ordinary people did not dare to resist, so everyone lived in fear.
Now they come to him for help, actually they are asking him to protect the entire Lao Miao Town.
Zhou Bin had also heard this from others. If a warrior became the leader of a place, he would protect that place unconditionally.
Once a powerful enemy invades, or other warriors come to challenge, the leader of this place must unconditionally come out to fight and protect the peace of this area.
Similarly, all men, women, young and old in the town must unconditionally obey the orders of the commander, who even has the power of life and death.
Moreover, everyone must pay tribute every month to ensure that the commander has enough food and clothing. On top of that, they also have to pay taxes to cover the commander's expenses.
It’s just because Lao Miao Town is too poor and no one looks up to it, so it has been oppressed all the time.
Now, a young hero suddenly appeared and defeated the warrior on Wutong Mountain with his own hands.
That proves that this young man is different from ordinary people and is definitely a strong warrior.
Therefore, people in Lao Miao Town began to move around, hoping that Young Master Zhou could be their leader.
Finally, a few older men came to Han Jinshu and told him everyone's thoughts.
Han Jinshu thought about it and felt that this was a good thing for everyone.
He was really tired of living in fear, so Han Jinshu agreed.
Today they planned to beg Zhou Bin to agree to everyone's request.
Now that several people have expressed their demands, Han Jinshu hastily added: "Young Master Zhou, once you become our commander-in-chief, everyone in our town will listen to your orders. Every family will pay a tribute of three hu of rice every month, and in addition, each person will pay a tax of ten copper coins per month. What do you think?"
Zhou Bin was a little surprised after hearing this. He never thought of making money from everyone.
He was rich, and these treasures were enough to keep him going for a while.
Therefore, Zhou Bin did not speak. Han Jinshu saw it and said quickly, "Young Master Zhou, in addition to these, I am willing to pay tribute of three stone of rice and one thousand copper coins every month."
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "What are you doing? I don't need it at all!"
Several people looked at each other, thinking that it was bad, the other party didn't want to do it!
