In this era, if there is a little environment at home, your children will not become husbands.

The so-called husband service, also known as working servants, was the Song Dynasty government recruited the men and women according to the number of households in Fangguo and rural villages, and engaged in labor service such as building cities, opening rivers, building houses, building roads, mining, and transporting grain.

Basically, as long as the patriarchs are located in all the projects that require a large amount of manpower, they are indispensable. To a certain extent, they are similar to the soldiers in the military sequence, and they are all people with extremely low status and tiring work for the court. However, the soldiers are more hard, more tiring, and more deadly. The soldiers are still on-the-job sequence, while the civilians are completely free labor.

The court also knew the people's thoughts, so it announced that they could pay money for free, which was called "free money for husbands". However, this money was not expensive. During the Daguan period of Huizong, the price was twenty to thirty stags per husband. As soon as they looked at this number, they knew that the court had no intention of giving poor households who rented land or had a second choice. What they were targeting was the money bag of the wealthy landlord.

I dared to set such a high price, but I was not afraid that no one would pay it. I even increased from the previous twenty steadi to the later thirty steadi. Such fearlessness must be based on the deterrent "working" environment of the husbands. It can be said that the more than 35,000 river workers are a microcosm of the poorest and most miserable families in the counties in Daming Prefecture.

"I accidentally heard what my brother said that day?" Tang Bin raised his head, thought for a long time, and finally said to the left and right: "It seems like a brick, wherever you need to move it! I see these men are just a brick, they were still opening the river the day before yesterday, but they became guards yesterday, but tomorrow, they became strong servants again!"

Tang Bin shook his head and sighed: "It's so bitter!"

"We don't use them for nothing. We can give a stone of food for a day! Our village leader is good to the people, unlike the court, and only knows to exploit the people! What a pity, if the inspector Guan is here, it would be great if he could see him with his own eyes! Maybe the three generals would be able to get together!" At this time, a general next to Tang Bin sighed. He was also an officer from Pu Dong, so he met the three heroes of Pu Dong. Later, because he was not tolerated by Shangguan, he simply came to join Tang Bin, and was given the position of commander by Wang Lun.

"Old Gao, do you think I didn't say it? Brother Hao and I sent someone to deliver letters to him every now and then. If we only talk about brotherhood, then it would be easy to say. If we ask him to go up the mountain, we would say it. "At this point, Tang Bin shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Without Tang Binming's words, Commander Gao could think about what Guan Sheng would be like at that time. He sighed and advised Tang Bin a few words. Tang Bin shook his head and smiled. Looking at the husband's camp where the meal was having dinner, he didn't realize the fate of meeting his close friend Guan Sheng.

"Is it enough for everyone?" Tang Bin asked back.

"It should be enough?" Commander Gao was a little uncertain, and looked at Tang Bin and sighed: "Our brothers have oil and water in their stomachs. It's almost enough to eat a pound of one pound for a meal. But I see what these young people mean, after this pound, I just got the bottom of it! There is no food. Can I eat it even if I eat it dry?"

Tang Bin shook his head and smiled, saying, "Old Gao, we are also a soldier who eats food, and we don't have meat for meals. Why, now you are keeping your mouth in your mouth? When fighting, it's not like being a copycat!"

"Brother, I'm just saying that! When fighting and eating cold noodles, have you ever hummed?" Commander Gao said unhappy.

Tang Bin laughed and looked at the river worker who was having a meal and said, "How much food did we buy for one thousand guan?"

"Damn! The food here is more expensive than the ones around Liangshan. No wonder the local rich people there like to stock up on grain waiting for the merchants here to collect it! One thousand guan, I only bought 550 shi of grain! This was bought directly from the local wealthy households. If I buy it in the market, it would be more expensive!" Commander Gao was obviously from Yanzhao, but now he is in Liangshan, Shandong.

"Five hundred and fifty stones are 55,000 jin (Song Jin). Now there are more than 35,000 people here. The meal is just under the base... Okay, I just spent 1,000 jin of money to ask them to eat it in one meal!" Tang Bin sighed a little and ordered Commander Gao:

"I still hope to have to hold on for two meals no matter what! Forget it, it's getting late, and it's just this meal today. I just asked these brothers to eat better and send them the jerky and cured meat we brought with me! I got up and rushed to the road, and told everyone to enter the city and eat!"

"Good!" Commander Gao held his fists and was about to go down to pass the order, but suddenly he saw two grain trucks being pushed to the side not far away. A young civil servant dressed in a lower-level official from the court was lowering his head to help push the cart, urging him: "Hurry, hurry, get more effort! Everyone hasn't eaten for a day, there are more than 30,000 people. If you are not careful, you will be in chaos!"

Tang Bin vaguely heard the man's words, looked at Commander Gao and said, "Didn't the officials run away? Why are there any people who are moving forward?"

"All these days are all kinds of strange things!" Commander Gao smiled and asked Tang Bin again: "I'll invite him to come and talk?"

Tang Bin nodded and said only, "This man is quite responsible!" Commander Gao understood what Tang Bin meant when he heard this, and called the deputy commander and asked him to collect jerky meat immediately and deliver the meat to the civilians. After that, he took the Wuqi cavalry and surrounded the two grain trucks.

Commander Gao stepped forward and sang aloud, saying to the young civil servant, "Previously, my general is welcome!"

The civil servant was very alert. When the horse's hooves sounded, he realized that something was wrong. At this time, he was very alert, but his face was silent and said, "I'm sorry, who is your general?"

Commander Tang heard his accent and smiled and said, "Oh, it's from Shandong?"

The civil servant did not hide it and nodded, "Xiao Ke's hometown is Qingzhou!"

"That's right! Please move up and down!" Commander Gao said with a smile.

The civil servant saw that this person was very kind to the Shandong people, and he felt a little "shocked" and thought that he was asking him to guess. He took a step forward and said to Commander Gao: "Since it is a hero from Liangshan, Xiaoke dare not refuse, but the carts are all villagers in our county, and I hope to let them go back!"

When the dozen people who were pushing the cart heard this, they were so scared that they sat on the ground. They said in shock: "Fight against Liangshan... the city is broken... County Magistrate Qiu, don't scare us!"

Commander Gao stared at the civil servant for a long time when he heard this, and then said, "Mr. Qiu has such a good eye! We Liangshan heroes will not make things difficult for these people, but we must release people tomorrow morning, and we also ask them to be wronged all night!"

When the county magistrate Qiu heard that he frowned slightly, he turned around to comfort everyone who came with him. Not long after, everyone calmed down. It seemed that the county magistrate had a high status in these people's hearts.

After bringing the young civil servant to Tang Bin, Commander Gao said a few words to the general, and then saw Tang Bin nodding. He said to the man: "Chou County Magistrate? When other officials saw me, they wanted to escape. You would return to the dangerous place. Why?"

"This is Xiao Ke's responsibility. The court ordered me to assist in the management of river workers. As long as I am not exempted from my errands, I have to continue!" County Magistrate Qiu said lightly.

Tang Bin immediately became interested in this person and said with a smile: "You are a county magistrate, why are you doing the chore of managing river workers?" Tang Bin glanced at the food loaded on the car and nodded secretly, "But it seems that you are doing well. When did Liang Shijie know people so well?"

It was not until then that the young face of the county magistrate Qiu showed a faint self-deprecating feeling. What is it that Liang Zhongshu knew people and was good at responsibilities. It was clearly the magistrate who colluded with the prefect and excluded himself, and called himself to temporarily assist in the management of river workers. In fact, he found the hardest bone to chew and sent him away.

In the Song Dynasty, he was a county magistrate, and this position was sometimes cancelled and sometimes relocated by the court for more than a hundred years. Even the court was so entangled, it was known that this position was not so easy to sit. The county magistrate conflicted with the county magistrate and overlapped with the chief magistrate. It was really an embarrassing character. The magistrate with a slightly stronger personality would consciously or unconsciously collude with the chief magistrate. The county magistrate sent to decentralize the power of the court.

"Xiao Ke is inconvenient to argue about Shangguan's affairs! I just ask the leader, I always heard that Liangshanpo loves the people, but I don't know what to hold the 35,673 people from Daming Mansion to work? Is your behavior at this time not worthy of the big banner that is used to make the heavenly road?" County Magistrate Qiu suddenly asked.

Tang Bin smiled and said, "You civil servants like to talk nonsense the most! Which eye did you see that I forced these river workers? Have you seen my own camps stuck outside? You see, they are having a lot of food, how come they look like they are being held in a siege?"

At this moment, dozens of military men were carrying the collected jerky meat to the Hegong residence. The Qiu County Magistrate watched them enter the camp without turning his eyes. He thought for a while and said, "I wonder if the leader wants to detain Xiao Ke too?"

When Tang Bin saw the question, he thought, "This man is not like an ordinary person, but like a talent. He is in chaos and does not forget to raise food for the civilians. Judging from his behavior, he should not leave these people behind and run away alone! But even if this man escapes, it is nothing. At most, it is proven that he has no vision and misjudged the situation. It will not hinder the overall situation!" Thinking of this, Tang Bin nodded secretly and said to County Magistrate Qiu: "After dawn tomorrow, you must stay, and you will be obedient to the emperor!"

Seeing that he was the same as Commander Gao said just now, County Magistrate Qiu secretly became suspicious. After thinking for a while, he had no clue. Tang Bin pointed to the opposite side and said, "You can catch a meal now, otherwise you will have to sleep with an empty stomach at night!"

When County Magistrate Qiu saw that Liangshan had provided food to everyone, his mood was even more complicated. He saluted Tang Bin randomly and went to Hegong Camp. After just a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Don't you send someone to follow me? Are you afraid that I will leave?"

Tang Bin laughed and said, "I have always been guarding against villains, not gentlemen!"

County Magistrate Qiu smiled bitterly and bowed to Tang Bin. Only then did he realize that the other party should not take him seriously at all. As a small county magistrate, how could he be in the eyes of these thieves who broke the Daming Mansion and drove the messy thieves in Beijing?

County Magistrate Qiu had his own ideas about Liangshanbo. Seeing that the opportunity was rare, he thought of observing the group of people up close and gave up his plan to escape. Since they did not take themselves seriously, there was naturally no reason to take their lives for no reason.

After thinking it through, County Magistrate Qiu walked towards Hegong without hesitation.

It can be seen that the county magistrate Qiu has great prestige in the hearts of these river workers. As soon as he entered the camp, he was immediately hugged by hundreds of river workers. They were all asking about their well-being. Qiu County magistrate waved his hand and asked with some confusion: "How long have I been gone? When did everyone be caught by them? They did not have strict guards at all, why no one escaped?" Everyone said in a sarcasm:

"Good Qiu, why do we run away? They are heroes who practice the way for heaven in Liangshan! We can't wait for it all day!"

"Yes! Why are we running? As soon as we meet, they spend money to buy food for us! Qiu Xianggong, they bought it from Liu Dahu Liu, Liu Jiaping! Xiao Wu went with them and they all saw it true! It's no different from the rumored heroes of Liangshan! Now, we are bringing us meat again!"

"That's it! Starting tomorrow, they will ask us to work and work hard for a day. The reward is one stone of food! One stone of food. We worked hard on two acres of land for a year and deducted the rent, which is not enough to earn this day!"

"The king on the mountain said that this is just a reward for giving strength. After that, we will also share food!"

"After waiting for so long, I finally waited for the heroes of Liangshan to come to distribute food to us. Why are we leaving? Qiu Xianggong, although you are a clean official, you have been incompatible since ancient times, so you should take the opportunity to leave!"
