Chapter 16 Voluntary
"Hero!" "Hero!"

"Hero!" Zhuang Min at the scene shouted loudly. The partners who fought with Chen Yu during the day rushed up and lifted Chen Yu high with all their hands.

"hero!!".
Looking at the bustling sunbathing area, Chen Xun stepped back and found that Lu Hui's eyes were also a little moist, full of expectation.

"Envy?"

Lu Hui shook his head first, then nodded under Chen Xun's calm eyes; "Yes."

"Actually, you have done much more than him, but times make heroes, and today is the right day to push him out."

"I understand."

"Don't worry, I will remember all your contributions. You will all have this day in the future, I promise."

"I trust you."

After the excitement had subsided for a while, Chen Xun asked everyone to go back to rest, leaving some adult men to help clean up.

All the dead archers were rolled up in mats and stored in an idle warehouse. All the living archers were bundled and transported to the private port in Chenjiazhuang. They were transported overnight to Lamma Island and then transferred to Mayi.

Before the Chen family completely controls Guangzhou, establishes a firm foothold on the mainland, and is not afraid of the Song Dynasty, it is impossible for these people to come back.

By the time everything was cleaned up, it was already time for the third watch.

Chen Family Ancestral Hall.

"What to do next? After all, these officials always died in our Chenjiazhuang. The Dongguan County Magistrate will definitely pursue the case." Chen Yidao.

Chen Xun didn't think about how to deal with it.

The purpose of directly making Chen Yu a hero just now was to stir up the courage of the people of Chenjiazhuang, so as not to surrender when they see the government in the future, and maybe sell themselves one day.

"Those officials were killed in Chenjiazhuang, and some were kidnapped, but our Chen family had no losses. It's so false." Chen Xun said.

"What should we do?" Chen Lu asked. He couldn't kill the people of Chenjiazhuang as well.

"Penghu is too far away from here. It's probably too late. Otherwise, it would be much easier to transport some bodies back from Penghu," Lu Hui said.

"It's not too late. You arrange for someone to write to Ke Lei and ask him to send the body back. Second uncle, tomorrow you ask the villagers to build some tombs and burn some animals to make ashes and bury them. Try to deal with it first. Wait for the body to be transported. Come back and bury it again." Chen Xun arranged.

Lu Hui's words inspired Chen Xun.

"By the way, arrange a ship to transport a group of people from the village to Penghu, and develop it there. It is said that these people were taken away by pirates." Chen Xun said.

"Here, who will be arranged to go?" Chen Lu asked.

Living a good life, but suddenly being sent to a remote island to start over again, what is the difference between being "exiled"?
The distance from Dongguan to Penghu is almost a thousand miles.

Exile thousands of miles properly, second only to lynching.

"What can you do?" Chen Xun also had a headache. If he said this, no one would want to go.

"Whoever you say should go must go. If he doesn't go, I will tie him up and go." Lu Hui said.

Chen Xun was speechless after hearing this. He was making himself look like a villain.

If Lu Hui said that he would make the allocation, he was still a good employee who relieved the boss's worries. If he said that he would let Chen Xun decide, wouldn't it be like taking off his pants and farting? If it got to this point, let him teach him?
"What else can anyone do?"

"Let's draw lots," Chen Yi said.Ginger is still spicy.

"How to catch him?" Chen Xun asked.

"Call everyone over, and the head of the household will come to arrest them. If they are caught, the whole family will go to Penghu." Chen Yidao: "The houses and land in Chenjiazhuang will be reserved for them. When the situation stabilizes, they can come back if they want."

"This is a good idea. If the family's wealth remains unchanged and they can go to Penghu to build a fortune, more people will be willing to go," Lu Hui commented.

Chen Xun lowered his head and pondered, and then said: "It can't be decided entirely by drawing lots."

I mentioned everyone's integrity in the drying area before, and next, Chen Xun planned to use this incident to mention everyone's dedication.

"Let's do this tomorrow, first, then, last..."

The next day, it was still drying, and all the household heads were summoned, and some villagers who had nothing to do also followed to watch the fun.

I didn’t think it was dark last night, but when I looked at it during the day, I saw that there were already so many people in Chenjiazhuang.

"In order to cope with the government's follow-up investigation, we need some people to be killed and kidnapped by pirates." To prevent everyone from not understanding and misunderstanding the meaning of the words, Chen Xun continued to explain: "Of course this is not true, it is just necessary Some people have temporarily moved to Penghu Island to live and build there, and build it into our new home in Chenjiazhuang."

Looking at the Zhuang people talking about it below, Chen Xun did not pause:
"Penghu Island is located between Quanzhou and Liuqiu Island. Its area is as large as our Dongguan County, and the climate is not much different from ours."

"When I went to the island, before the construction was completed, all material expenses were paid by the Chen family, including food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Even if you go to Penghu Island, the houses and fields here will still be reserved for you. The village will arrange for people to farm them for you. After excluding labor costs and land rent, all the profits will belong to you."

"After this storm, if you want to come back, you can come back at any time. The Chen family's ships regularly travel between Dongguan and Penghu Island, so you don't have to worry about not being able to come back."

"Anyone who has any questions can ask now."

After saying that, he waited quietly for Zhuang Min below to ask questions.

"Chief, do you have to go?" asked a villager.

"We have to go, otherwise we won't be able to explain to Dongguan County. We can't tell them that the pirates only killed and kidnapped the public, and they didn't commit any crimes against our Chenjiazhuang Zhuang Minqiu, right? No one will believe it. ." In addition to this reason, Penghu Island just needs manpower to build. As a bridgehead for the future development of Liuqiu Island, the construction of Penghu is very important.

Originally, Chen Xun planned to recruit refugees from the north as construction manpower. Now taking this opportunity to transfer some experienced people there, he can greatly speed up the construction progress.

"Can I go alone and let my family stay in the village?" asked a villager. This person supported Chen Xun, so Chen Xun answered in detail.

"It's okay for you to go alone for the time being, but in the long run, it's better for the whole family to reunite. When the initial construction is completed, the whole family still needs to move there." Chen Xun replied.

This is the result of last night's discussion, because common sense says that pirates will not take advantage of one family and then let the other family go.

Therefore, it is more reasonable to create some situations where wives and children are separated.

After answering some questions, Chen Xun continued to arrange:
“Now we need to relocate one hundred households of villagers to Penghu Island, including five households of blacksmiths, [-] households of carpenters, [-] households of masons, [-] households of potters, [-] households of shipwrights, [-] households of farmers, [-] households of fishermen, and [-] households of farmers. Hu, who wants to go?"

The place was silent.

"I hope everyone will take the initiative to sign up. This relocation is for Chenjiazhuang, and I will leave my small home for everyone. I, Chen Xun, will not forget everyone's efforts." Chen Xun persuaded again.

There was still silence. Someone wanted to speak, but was held back by his family.
