Chapter 942: Territory (3)

The old man hooked his waist, looked at the people who got off the big carriage in amazement, took off his robe, put on only a short coat, and took the sickle from his wife's hand.

At first glance, this person is not a person who has worked hard, and there are more than a dozen of his entourage, and all of them carry knives. Look at that flesh, though strong, but white, whiter than the big girls he'd seen in town, this is a way of working?

"This Lang Jun!" Ba Ye secretly looked at the strong men behind this person who were standing with knives and staring at each other, and then took his gaze back, and the Lang Jun in front of him was smiling, not like a bad person. "These things are done by us countrymen, you are a noble person, how can you do these things?"

Li Ze waved his sickle with a smile and said, "Master, don't underestimate me, I can also cut wheat." ”

After saying this, Li Ze took the sickle and strode towards the wheat field.

Where is Ba Yeleng, I don't know what to do. Behind them, three women and four dolls were all standing like stakes, and they were too frightened to move.

Chen Wenliang walked up to them, reached out and took out a stack of silver dollars from his arms, handed them to the old woman who was obviously a little stupid, stuffed the silver dollars into their hands, and said, "My son-in-law is mainly here today... Belch... This experience life, so, this ......" Chen Wenliang turned his head to look at Ba Ye, and then said: "Ba Ye is an old trick at a glance, our son is just a whim, if you can make him retreat, then I still have so many silver dollars for you, how about it?" ”

Seeing the silver dollar of the white flower, Ba Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and as soon as he lifted the sickle, he turned around and strode towards the wheat field.

When Li Ze walked to the edge of the field, he turned his head to look at Zhang Xun, Chen Wenliang and the others, and said loudly: "What are you doing there, let's do it together!" Let's help Ba Ye harvest the wheat today. ”

Zhang Xun was stunned, pointed to his nose, saw Li Ze nodding affirmatively, smiled at the moment, shook his head, walked to the women on the side, took a sickle from their hands, and followed Li Ze to the wheat field, Chen Wenliang was stunned for a moment, so he had to take a sickle and follow the two of them down to the field.

More than a dozen guards, look at me, I look at you, the remaining few scythes are definitely not enough for them, everyone choked, pulled out the knife at their waists, and walked over in unison.

Li Ze does know how to cut wheat.

Chapter will also.

On the contrary, Chen Wenliang really can't. Li Ze is because every year in spring planting and autumn harvest has to set an example for the world, and he has to go to the field to work for a short time. And Zhang Hui prides himself on cultivating and reading a family, and Zhang Xun will also know these things since he was a child. And Chen Wenliang has done his best to provide him with education since he was a child, not to mention farm work, and not to let him get involved in light housework. The whole family put their hopes on him, but he did not live up to the hopes of the family, and indeed became famous by reading. But I really don't understand these farm work.

Watching the others get out of the field and start working immediately, he watched for a long time before he began to clumsily start harvesting.

But being able to do it doesn't mean you're doing it well.

This move immediately divided the superiority and inferiority.

Li Ze and Zhang Xun both reached out and grabbed a handful of wheat stalks, waved their knives to cut a bunch, put it aside, and then cut another bunch. Although the guards were holding horizontal knives, these people showed the momentum of going to the battlefield to cut people, and the two of them stood on the left and right, and with a wave of the horizontal knife, a piece fell to the ground, and then another person followed behind them to gather the fallen wheat together. After working for a while, one person behind him stepped forward to replace one and came down, three rotations, to maintain sufficient physical strength.

But these men did not forget their duty when they were reaping. In a wheat field, some of them were fast, some were slow, and some even pulled behind Li Ze and the others, which happened to form an encirclement and surrounded Li Ze in the middle.

Ba Ye's old-fashioned movements are different, don't look at the early sixties, but as soon as he bends down, his left hand is together, and there is a large piece of wheat, and then with a hook of his right hand, a large piece of wheat will fall down, and then his feet will stick to the ground and collect it forward, and a large piece of wheat will be gathered into a pile.

In an instant, Li Ze, who was side by side with Ba Ye, could only see Ba Ye's buttocks, and after a while, he was getting farther and farther away.

Several women and dolls on the ridge also came to their senses, and hurriedly ran over, followed behind everyone to collect the cut wheat, beat the wheat into bundles with grass and vines, and then carried it to the edge of the ridge. A large bundle of wheat, forked with a sheep's fork, bent down and carried on her shoulders, and then strode to the edge of the ridge, neatly stacked.

"Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry!" Raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, he looked at the dense red dots that appeared on his bare arms, and felt the itchy and crispy feeling, Li Ze sighed. Ba Ye was alone, and he was about to catch up with his three-person guard.

"Xiangye, it's almost over, you can rest." Chen Wenliang slipped to Li Ze's side and said in a low voice. "It won't take long for the guards to cut it."

Li Ze looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "One more person means more strength, although I am slow, but if I cut one more bunch, I can cut one less bunch, work, Chen Wenzhou, you can fall last." You guys, don't grind foreigners! ”

The guards who were originally pulling behind, when they saw Li Ze's fingers pointing at them, they could only helplessly speed up, and instantly surpassed Li Ze and the others.

Chen Wenliang looked helplessly at the place where he rolled up his sleeves, which, like Li Ze, was covered with red spots.

Ba Ye really wanted to use his speed to scare off Li Zehao to exchange some other silver dollars from Chen Wenliang's hands, but the delicate-looking Lang Jun in front of him, although he cut slowly and looked extremely hard, he actually survived, and the speed of his guards was really not slow, it seemed that he could harvest all the wheat fields at home today.

In this way, the rest of the silver dollars cannot be earned, and it is a pity that the only gain is that the women and children of the family can suffer less.

When the sun set on the horizon, the wheat fields in Ba Ye's house were finally harvested.

Li Ze let out a long breath, to be honest, he was really tired. This is much more tiring than his usual practice of martial arts, and now Li Ze, practicing martial arts, is more of a habit, a kind of physical exercise, and this kind of long-term work in front of him is completely incomparable.

Touching his waist with his hand and looking at the bundles of wheat on the edge of the ridge, Li Ze felt a sense of pride in his heart for no reason, although he only cut such a ridge.

"Master Ba, come and rest, talk to me for a while, and leave the rest to them." Li Ze beckoned to Ba Ye and said.

Ba Ye didn't dare not go over, and walked up to Li Ze, Li Ze sat on a bundle of wheat, his bare arms were red at this time, but they were not as itchy as they were at the beginning, and he glanced at Ba Ye's swarthy arms and some loose upper body flesh, all of which were nothing.

"Master Ba, where to sit, Chen Wenliang, get some ice drinks, oh, everyone get a cup."

In the carriage accompanying Li Ze, ice cubes were stored for a long time, and drinks of various flavors were also prepared for a long time. Hearing Li Ze's greeting, Chen Wenzhou wiped the sweat from his face, called a guard, and hurried to prepare.

Li Ze handed a cup of ice drink to Ba Ye and said, "Ba Ye, take a sip and go to be tired!" ”

Ba Ye drank it all in one gulp, but his eyes suddenly widened, and it took a while before he smacked his mouth, and those women also had the same expressions, and those dolls even stretched out their tongues to lick the wall of the cup. Seeing this, Chen Wenliang didn't need Li Ze to greet him again, and immediately got a big pot for them, and each cup was full.

"It's on the rocks, you can't drink more! Only one more drink. He whispered.

"Master Ba, why don't you see strong laborers at home?" Li Ze asked with a small sip of an iced drink.

Ba Ye sighed: "Lang Jun, there were originally two sons, but in the war, the original officials and old men Latin, arrested the two sons, and this time, they never came back, no, there are only two of us left in the family, two daughters-in-law, three dolls, hey!" ”

Li Ze was silent for a while, and only after a while did he say, "Is life okay now?" ”

"It's much better now." Ba Ye's mood was also depressed, "A new official has come, but it is not the same as before, he has divided the land for us, and built a new house, and the family has a total of 70 acres of land!" Life is much better. ”

"The land and the new house were given by the government for nothing?"

"Of course not, the government said, these are sold to us, we don't have money to buy them, so there is a Wuwei money bank to lend us money, but don't use money. I have to pay off a part of it every year, and pay it off in ten years, my body and bones are still good, and I will try to live for another ten years, and pay off my debts, and these lands and houses will be mine, and I can buy a little family property for my children and grandchildren in my lifetime, and I will die without regrets. ”

"Seventy acres of land, can your family plant it?"

"Now the government is still very good, when the spring ploughing, will send people to help, our county order here, this year's spring ploughing, also brought people to help me plant!" Ba Ye was very proud.

"Then what do you think of the current officials compared to the past officials?"

"That can't be compared!" Ba Ye waved his hand again and again: "The current official is our real parent official, I have lived all my life, and it is the first time I have seen such a thing!" We people at this time hope that this county magistrate will always be an official with us! But don't get him away. ”

Li Ze laughed: "Then what if he is promoted?" What a good thing, you don't want to let him go? ”

Ba Ye paused for a moment before he whispered: "According to my selfishness, naturally I don't want him to go, if someone else comes, who knows what the situation will be!" ”

Li Ze said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if you change the official, these policies of the government will definitely not change." ”

"That's a good dare." Ba Ye said: "The last time the county commander came to our house, he also said that now the biggest official in our Tang Dynasty is Li Xiangye, these things are all made by Li Xiangye, let us rest assured, as long as Li Xiangye is still alive, these things will never change." So we all put a tablet of Li Xiangye's immortality at home, and we all expect Li Xiangye to live a long life! ”

Li Ze laughed happily, "Then what do you think Li Xiangye looks like?" ”

Ba Ye thought for a long time before he said: "It should be those Bodhisattvas in the temple, only the hearts of the Bodhisattvas can think of us, right?" ”
