Chapter 1357 Wine

"We understand, we will definitely try our best!" Hao Datong said immediately, patting his chest.

"Hehe..." Luo Xin laughed twice, Hao Datong sat there awkwardly, Luo Xin stared at him and said, "Do your best? Seven thousand are strong, and only five thousand are left. Is this called doing your best?"

Panic immediately appeared in Hao Datong's eyes, he did not expect that all his actions would fall into Luo Xin's eyes.Looking at his flustered eyes, Luo Xin thought to himself, if I can trust you capricious mountain people, then I, Luo Xin, would be stupid.

Hao Datong was flustered and confused at the same time, he didn't know why Luo Xin knew these things, could it be that he was a spy among the clansmen?

How did he know that Luo Xin had already sent some people with excellent lightness skills to watch them.Before he could wake up from this confusion, he heard Luo Xin say again:
"I promised you at the beginning that you could leave with half of the food, but you let your people take two-thirds and leave only one-third. Is this called doing your best?"

"Putong!" Hao Datong immediately knelt down: "My lord, little man... little man..."

Luo Xin waved his hand, looked at Huang Shan and Wei Hedao: "Do you also want to do your best like Hao Datong?"

"Small people don't dare!" Huang Shan and Wei He hurriedly said: "We will definitely keep all the young and strong, and only take half of the food."

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I can give your clansman a thousand strength to protect them from leaving."

"Thank you sir!"

"As long as you really try your best to help the imperial court and sincerely submit to the imperial court, I will naturally give you a way out. I also know that there is an objective reason for your capriciousness towards the imperial court, that is, you are too poor. The land given to you is not much, not enough to feed you, so your bad nature, when you can't see the future, you snatch it short-sightedly, and run back to the mountains. I always thought that the court had nothing to do with you, but You have forgotten that such a huge imperial court just doesn’t take you seriously, if it is really determined to eradicate you, why should this few people have no hope of surviving.”

"We also know." Huang Shan sighed: "But we are really too poor, and people starve to death every day."

"Hehe..." Luo Xin laughed twice and said, "Don't say this time I bring people into the mountains to destroy you, even if I don't go into the mountains this time, do you think you can survive this winter?
Because you colluded with Zhang Daoyuan's rebels, Lord Hu Zongxian led the army into the mountains to suppress the bandits. Although Lord Hu Zongxian suffered heavy losses, do you have spring plowing?

In fact, as long as I encircle the army at the foot of the mountain and prevent you from going down the mountain, half of you millions of mountain people will starve to death and freeze to death after one winter. "

The faces of the three people in Huangshan all turned pale, Luo Xin's words were not false at all.And to put it lightly, if Luo Xin really surrounded the mountain with an army, two-thirds of them would starve to death after one winter.

"So, we need to end this war as soon as possible. The sooner this war ends, the sooner we can prepare how to live."

"My lord..." Hao Datong immediately became excited: "My lord, will you help us?"

Luo Xin didn't even look at him, and ignored him.Hao Datong's face was embarrassing, and then he cheered up and said:

"My lord, I will send someone to call back the two thousand strong men immediately, and promise to obey your order. Bring back the extra food."

Luo Xin's expression eased and he said, "Just call back one thousand."

"Yes! My lord, I will let people go."

Hao Datong left in a hurry, came back in less than a quarter of an hour, and said embarrassingly:

"My lord, they will arrive at ten minutes after sunset today."

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded lightly and said: "After the war is over, what are you going to do? I, Luo Xin, never deceive my subordinates. Since you have defected to me, I will treat you as my subordinates. To be honest Said, even if you go down the mountain and walk out of the old forest, the imperial court will not give you too much land, it’s not that you don’t want to give it, but you don’t have it, the land is not enough to feed you.”

"My lord, we also know this, but we can't survive if we stay in the mountains. To put it disrespectfully, in order to survive, we still have to go down the mountain to grab it."

Luo Xin nodded and said: "If I have a way to let you live in the mountains and forests, you can still eat enough?"

"Really?" The three of Hao Datong's eyes widened, their faces full of disbelief.

"It's not difficult." Luo Xin said firmly: "After we end this war, I will send you some food to ensure that you can survive this winter, and then I will teach you a skill. Let you rely on this skill to enable all mountain people to survive in the future, at least not to starve to death."

The eyes of the three people lit up immediately, and they looked at Luo Dao excitedly and expectantly:
"My lord, is what you said true?"

He Xinyin, who was on the side, was also excited when he heard this. In his opinion, even if Luo Xin wiped out the entire mountain people, it would not be a great achievement, but if he could make the mountain people survive, that would be a great achievement.Immediately his face sank and he said:

"Don't forget, Lord Luo also has a title other than God of War."

"God of Wealth!" The three said almost in unison, and then their faces became even more excited.

"But..." After the excitement, the three of them calmed down again: "What can we get rich in this mountain? My lord, to be honest, no one is willing to rob. Being bandits, we mountain people have to go to grab some food every year. A lot of people died. If we were not poor, we would never do what we did in the past. At the end of the day, we are all poor."

Luo Xin glanced at the surrounding mountains and forests and said, "Don't underestimate your mountains and forests, there are countless treasures inside."

"Treasure? Why don't we know?"

"Hehe... If you all know, then you are the gods of wealth."

"Hey..., please give me some pointers."

"There are a lot of fruits in your forest, right?"

"Yeah!" The three of them nodded quickly and said, "However, these fruits cannot be stored for a long time, and they are not worth much. We used to transport fruits down the mountain to sell them, and we couldn't buy much at all. And once the season is over, these fruits are not worth much. The fruit will rot."

"Of course not selling fruit directly, but making wine."

"Wine making? Fruit wine?" Wei He shook his head like a rattle and said, "We also make wine every year, but it's so turbid and sour that we can't sell it at all, and we don't want to drink it ourselves."
