Chapter 289: Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor
Zhou Yunshu's first reaction when she heard this was, "How could Ji Mingyun react so quickly? Is he so smart?"
If the people outside were really Ji Mingyun's men, he should have arrived at Magnolia Lake not long after Zhou Yunshu and the others left, saw the miserable state of the Magnolia Lake courtyard, and then immediately got the truth about the fire in the courtyard from Manager Huang.
Manager Huang didn't know where he came from. If he wanted to find him, he had to find the farmhand who helped Zhou Yunshu move things and ask him where he was.
There is another problem here. The farmhands who left the Magnolia Lake Courtyard all left with the benefits given by Zhou Yunshu. As accomplices, if they don't want to be implicated, the first thing they will do when they return home may be to move.
After all, none of them could afford to offend King Huainan, so they had no choice but to move away from this place.
Thinking about it again, Zhou Yunshu felt something was wrong.
Although the person who came to report the news was anxious, he was not afraid, which meant that the people who surrounded Zhuangzi were not as scary as he imagined.
But even so, just in case, Zhou Yunshu looked at the frightened villagers around her and said, "What are you still standing there for? Grab your weapons and follow me!"
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, Li Danier, Fu Rong, Wang Jiu and others took the lead and picked up the weapons at hand.
"Those of you who don't have any tools, go home and get your farm tools!" Li Danier shouted, "You guys have finally gotten home, do you still want to be separated from your wives and children and go do hard labor?"
"If these villains broke into your village, think about your parents and children. Do you want to see your loved ones die at their hands?"
"Do you want to?" Li Danier shouted.
"No!" A uniform cry rang out.
When they thought about the days at Magnolia Lake where they had no food to eat, had to work as laborers because they were hungry, were beaten every day, and didn't know when they could go home, they all wanted to hide without Li Danier reminding them.
But they can't hide. What if they hide from their family members? They will definitely suffer because of themselves.
Instead of this, it is better to listen to the master and Li Danier and fight them!
When Zhou Yunshu led the farmers holding farm tools and walking out of Jinguo Village in a threatening manner, the tense scene she had imagined in her mind did not happen.
Jinguozhuang was indeed surrounded, but the people who were surrounded were Jing Gao, who had brought his family to seek refuge with Zhou Yunshu, as well as the patrolmen and farmhands.
Zhou Yunshu roughly counted them, and including their families, there were about 150 people, which was less than she had thought before, but it was a considerable number for Jinguozhuang.
"Master!"
When Jing Gao and others saw Zhou Yunshu coming out, they jumped off the donkey cart and ran to Zhou Yunshu.
"We went home and rushed here immediately after discussing it with our family!"
Jing Gao looked at the people around him as he spoke. Many of them had said they would come but had not yet gathered at their gathering point.
"Some people might..."
"If you can't come, then you can't come. Everyone has their own choice."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and looked at Jing Gao and the others and said, "Welcome to Jinguo Manor."
The addition of Jing Gao and others made Jinguozhuang more lively.
Generally speaking, with so many outsiders joining, they would definitely be excluded by the original people in the village.
However, Jing Gao and the farmhands who came with him had worked with the young and strong men of Jinguo Village for a long time and knew each other quite well.
In addition, since Zhou Yunshu agreed to their joining, they agreed as well.
Jinguozhuang is very big and there is enough space to build houses for newcomers.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. As long as it doesn't rain, it's okay to sleep outdoors for a few nights.
Zhou Yunshu introduced the head of Jinguo Village, Li Dani, to the newcomers. Although the newcomers were surprised that the head of Jinguo Village was a woman, they had no objection. They still understood the importance of adapting to local customs.
The most important thing for them now is to settle down in Jinguo Village first. It doesn’t matter to them whether the village head is a man or a woman.
"Daniel, please make a list of the new villagers and arrange a place for them to build their houses."
It's hot now, and if we are quick, we can build a thatched house in a few days. Of course, since there are so many of them, it may take even less time.
"yes."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the villagers who suddenly joined the village. Her original plan to leave this afternoon had to be postponed for one or two days.
Otherwise, she was worried that if there was any conflict among so many people, it would be troublesome.
When Li Danier was taking people to register, Cen Miaoying was there to help her.
There are very few women in Zhuangzi who can read, except Li Danier and the daughter of the Fu family, and the girls who have only been in school for a few days during this period.
What was surprising was that there were several literate women among the newcomers. After asking them, Li Danier did not hesitate to ask them to join the women's army of Jinguozhuang.
Li Danier doesn't only use women, she uses men too.
After getting to know this group of new people, Li Danier had already thought about their future use on the farm.
Of course, in order to ensure her position as the head of the village, she would choose the original women in the village and the female relatives of the new group to follow her and be with her.
Zhou Yunshu saw that Li Danier was doing things in an orderly manner. Even if there were some shortcomings, Zhou Yunshu did not take the initiative to point them out. Sometimes people tend to remember problems longer if they discover them themselves.
Unless the interests of the entire manor and herself are endangered, Zhou Yunshu will not help Li Danier to manage Jinguo Manor.
While Zhou Yunshu was sitting on a chair and watching the people queuing up to register with Li Danier, Jing Gao and some other young men who had finished registering came to Zhou Yunshu one after another. Most of them were people who had been in Jing Gao's patrol team before.
"Master, what are we going to do in the future? Are we going to go out and rob people? Hmm... not really, we're going to rob the rich and give to the poor!"
Zhou Yunshu: “…”
Why couldn't he get over the fact that he was the leader of the pirates?
"Spend the next two days with your family. I'm leaving Jinguozhuang the day after tomorrow. You take five people with me." Zhou Yunshu said this to Jing Gao.
Jing Gao's eyes lit up, "Are we really going to rob the rich and give to the poor?"
When he was a child, he often went to listen to storytellers, and the ones he envied most were the heroes who robbed the rich and helped the poor.
I never thought that one day I would be able to do it myself!
Zhou Yunshu looked at Jing Gao's excited expression and wanted to continue explaining, but after thinking about it, it seemed that their going to eat at the wealthy house of King Huainan was not much different from robbing the rich to help the poor.
The only difference is that the rich one he robbed was the King of Huainan, and the poor one he helped was himself.
"You can think so, actually."
"Brother Gao, take me!"
"Count me in as Brother Gao!"
"And me!"
Jing Gao looked at the dozen or so brothers behind him, and looked at Zhou Yunshu with some embarrassment, "Master, can't we bring a few more people?"
Wang Jiu and the others had stood on Zhou Yunshu's other side without knowing when. Hearing Jing Gao's words, he smiled and said, "If we take you all with us, what will we do?"
"That's right, we are the real master's people, you are just outsiders!"
