The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 64
The situation has stabilized. The servants were holding their heads and squatting, begging for mercy. Zhao Shitong rubbed his numb mouth. He had just fought twice with his magic weapon. The man's knife was shaken off, and his hand was numb from the shock.

Yang Lichao jumped off his horse, took out a piece of cloth from somewhere, and wiped the tip of the armor-piercing gun. It was another magic weapon, and it was his natal magic weapon. This was his wife. Every night Have something to hold on to while sleeping.

Suddenly, he noticed a militiaman with a ferocious look on his face, holding a hatchet in his hand and slashing at the tenant in front of him who had put down his weapon and held his head begging for mercy.

"stop!"

Yang Lichao's expression changed, and he stretched out his hand and shouted to the man, but it was too late, the butcher's knife had already fallen.

Chi.

Unprepared, the servant's neck was directly wiped. The servant covered his neck and looked at the militiamen in disbelief. He didn't understand why he still killed him after he had already said that he would put down the butcher's knife and not kill.

The surrounding servants and tenants looked at this scene in horror, and some directly picked up knives and confronted the heavenly soldiers and militiamen.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!"

Zhao Shitong had just relaxed for a while, but his body tensed up when he saw this scene. Staring at these people, he noticed the militiaman who killed the surrendered people. He was so angry that he was not so greedy for war merit.

Yang Lichao's heart tightened. He was also worried about this scene. When he saw something was wrong, he hurried forward and kicked the militiaman to the ground.

Two or three militiamen nearby also had this idea. Perhaps they were frightened by Yang Lichao's voice, so they did not make a move. Seeing this scene, they suddenly woke up. They felt a little lucky in their hearts. Fortunately, they did not make a move, otherwise they would be the ones being kicked now. Okay, it seems like there is a more severe punishment.

"Um, what are you doing? What are you doing? Didn't you say you would drop the knife and not kill? Are you still killing hungry people?"

A tenant farmer was holding a knife and looking at Zhao Shitong with red eyes. How could a man be so dishonest as to lie to them and then kill them?
"Calm down first, he violated discipline," Zhao Shitong said, walking over and touching the man again.

The militiaman who was kicked suddenly did not dare to say anything. He was also tempted by the military merits just now, and now he was kicked twice. Looking at this scene, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he seemed to be in trouble.

The situation behind the gate has stabilized. Liu Zhenhua saw the situation here in a blink of an eye. He expected that such a situation might occur.

They strode closer and saw Liu Zhenhua, Zhao Shitong and Yang Lichao calling out to the Kitchen King.

The servants and tenants looked towards Liu Zhenhua, thinking that this was the real owner.

Liu Zhenhua ignored it and stared at the militiaman who took action. The latter lowered his head under Liu Zhenhua's gaze. He was very worried and didn't know how the Kitchen King would punish him.

"Yang Lichao, take some heavenly soldiers to search the yard. If you don't find the landlord of the Li family, forget it," Liu Zhenhua said in a deep voice. With the temperament of the landlord of the Li family, he probably ran away to take refuge elsewhere when he saw them coming. .

"Yes."

Yang Lichao responded, and then he led half of the heavenly soldiers here to search the backyard.

Everyone stared at Liu Zhenhua. The weapons in their hands were neither holding nor holding. They still didn't know what the Kitchen King meant.

Liu Zhenhua looked at the corpse on the ground, then pointed and said: "Does anyone know this dead person? Does he still have relatives at home?"

The tenants looked at each other, wondering why Liu Zhenhua asked this, to cut the grass and root out the roots, or what, but not long after, a farmer with a short square face and a wrinkled face came out and said cautiously, "I know you, Li Dabao." , I have a son and a wife at home."

Liu Zhenhua nodded when he heard this, and then said, "This man put down his weapon. He is already a subordinate of me, the Kitchen King. He was killed. He will be treated as a death in battle."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The tenants did not understand the meaning of this sentence. According to the punishment of death in battle, does this mean that the person who just killed this person did not care?

This was the first time that the heavenly soldiers and militia heard the Kitchen Lord mention dying in battle.The senior Heavenly Soldiers had followed him during the horse bandit days. Liu Zhenhua never mentioned anyone who died in the battle along the way. However, no one died in the battle at that time. There were only injured people who were treated by the Stove Lord with elixirs.

"Anyone who follows this deity and dies in battle will receive 20 taels of silver and five stones of food."

"This man died in battle and laid down his weapons. He received one stone of food. In total, he received six stones of food and 20 taels of silver."

After Liu Zhenhua finished speaking, the tenants were in an uproar. The grain was six shi, or nine hundred kilograms, which was almost equivalent to the annual output of six acres of land, and was enough to feed an ordinary family of three for a year.

Although prices are inflated nowadays, 20 taels of silver are still very affordable. The total property of an ordinary farmer may only be around 15 taels.

I'm afraid even the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty didn't get this kind of treatment when they died.

But now, this person did not even join the Kitchen King's command. He died in vain at the hands of one of his subordinates, but he received such a pension.

Looking at the Li family master, in comparison, the Li family master does not regard human life as human life at all.

"The Stove King loves his people like his son and is considerate of the soldiers. Even though we fought for the Stove King and died nine times, we still have no regrets," Zhao Shitong made an impassioned speech. He then knelt on the ground with one knee and said, "Long live the Stove King!"

"?"

Liu Zhenhua was stunned. When did this kid become so good at talking?

"It's okay to think more about how Ren Zhuozhou handles things."

Zhao Shitong leaned over, his elder brother's words echoing in his mind.

"Long live the Kitchen King!"

Other heavenly soldiers and militiamen shouted. The heavenly soldiers did not expect that their lives were so valuable.

When I was alive, I had porridge and pickled vegetables distributed by the Kitchen God, but when I died, I could still get so much pension.

The same is true for the militiamen. Now they want to be promoted to heavenly soldiers. Most of these militiamen are from the Zhang family, both young and old. If they go to the battlefield, they will definitely fight bravely. It is better to live, and it is not bad to die. There is no loss at all. Once.

"Get up."

Liu Zhenhua said.

"I promised you before that I will surrender, persuade you to surrender, and rebel. After the war, your food and money will be settled one by one."

The tenants gulped and stared at Liu Zhenhua. If these words could not convince them, Liu Zhenhua's next words directly made them kneel on the ground.

"Furthermore, if you join my subordinates and register in the register, I will also divide the land of the Li family landowners equally, and you will have a share. If any of you owes a debt to the Li family landowners, all of them will be sold off."

"The Stove King is so wise!"

After Liu Zhenhua finished speaking, the tenants immediately knelt on the ground. The landlord of the Li family asked them to kill before giving them food, and after they killed too many, they would pay off their debts.

Now, if they surrender and join the Kitchen King, they will have food and land, and their debts will be eliminated, which is a great thing.
