The book is picked up again.

You must know that this is Jizhou, and since Cao Cao came to Jizhou, he has never caught a strong man.

Therefore, the matter of catching strong men can only be done by the predecessor of Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao!

And most of the soldiers and horses under Yuan Shao's command died under Li Zhi's command at the beginning, so in real terms, Li Zhi is still the enemy of the old man in front of him!

After thinking about this, Li Zhi felt even more guilty in his heart.

However, this matter was a foregone conclusion, and Li Zhi could not be reversed, so he quickly changed the topic and asked: "Since the old gentleman still has a son, why didn't he come out to entertain me and others, but let the old gentleman come out to work?" ”

In Li Zhi's opinion, since the old man's son has been clarified and has two sons, it proves that he is already the pillar of the family.

In this case, why did the old man's son not come out to receive him when he came to visit, but let the old man receive him personally, and even the work of boiling water was done by the old man himself, isn't this unfilial?

After the old man heard Li Zhi's inquiry, he opened his mouth with embarrassment, but then closed his mouth with a red face, he really didn't have the face to say it.

Seeing this, Li Zhi asked curiously: "What is the old gentleman's unspeakable secret?" ”

"It's... Alas......" The old man saw Li Zhi asking again and again, and finally could only let out a long sigh and said embarrassedly: "It's not that my son is unfilial, but... It's his real business, and he can't come out to meet people. ”

"Can't see anyone?" After Li Zhi heard this, he frowned and asked, "What kind of emergency did my husband's son have, or was he disfigured by an accident?" ”

"It's not ......" The old man shook his head when he heard this, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two gentlemen, in fact, the reason why my son didn't come out to greet the guest is because he has no clothes to wear at all!"

There are only two pieces of clothing in Xiao Lao'er's house, one is the men's dress on Xiao Lao'er's body, and the other is a women's dress.

Originally, all the work such as boiling water was done by the daughter-in-law of the little old man.

But just now she knew that after the guests came, she was too anxious to get dressed, so she accidentally tore a hole in the women's dress, and now she is sewing and mending it.

And it is precisely because of this that Xiao Lao'er went to boil water in person, which made the two of them smile. ”

After saying that, the old man's face was full of embarrassment, and even the rough face became red.

"Sure enough" Li Zhi was not surprised, because he had already guessed the answer.

Then he turned to Cao Ang and asked, "Now you believe it, right?" ”

"......" Cao Ang was about to doubt life at this time,

When he first came here, he thought that Li Zhi was talking nonsense, but when he really met someone with only two clothes at home, he really didn't know what to say.

"Hehe......" Looking at the silent Cao Ang, Li Zhiyi chuckled indifferently, and then asked the old man: "If there is a big flood here, old man, how do you think it should be treated?" ”

After Cao Ang heard Li Zhidi's words, he raised his head sharply and looked at the old man with expectant eyes.

He knew the meaning of Li Zhi's question, he was because there was a disaster in the first place, and he didn't deal with it well, so he let Cao Cao reprimand him, and now he urgently needs to know what the correct answer is.

"Flooding?" After the old man heard Li Zhi's words, he shook his head blankly and said: "This place is very far away from the big river, and the little old man has never seen a big water in his life for decades, so he doesn't know how to deal with it. ”

"What if there's a drought?"

"Drought...... the old man sighed a little melancholy, and then said: "What else can I do, of course, I am going to escape the famine, and I can't starve to death here." ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately became anxious and asked, "Don't your officials and gentry here care about this matter?" ”

"The gentry?" When the old man heard this, his face became even more dazed, and he asked incomprehensibly: "What is a gentry?" Why do they care about us? ”

"It's just... It's just ......" After Cao Ang heard the old man's inquiry, he "is" for a long time and couldn't come up with a proper description.

The so-called gentry is actually some big families and local tycoons, and it is really not easy to explain the complex name of "gentry".

Li Zhi saw that Cao Ang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, so he asked on his behalf: "Old man, what I am asking is, don't those rich people around you care about you?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes" After Cao Ang heard Li Zhi's words, he immediately nodded again and again, looking at the old man with expectant eyes.

"Rich?" After the old man heard Li Zhi's words, he blinked and asked with a smile, "Why do you think so?" From ancient times to the present, how can a couple care about the life or death of ordinary people such as us? ”

"It's... This ......" After Cao Ang heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe, and he gasped for a while before he asked unwillingly: "Isn't there any wealthy family who has reached out to you?"

Don't they all follow the way of gentlemen, and when they see you and others in trouble, don't they have a helper? ”

"This ......" The old man thought for a while with a puzzled face, and then suddenly nodded as if he had thought of something, and said, "But there are also those rich families who have come out to help the disaster." ”

"Hahaha......" When Cao Ang heard this, he laughed like crazy: "I'll just say it!" How could those gentlemen who read poetry and books be unkind to the rich, you see, didn't someone come out to help the disaster? ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Zhi triumphantly, his eyes were full: "Teacher, look, the student is right, right?" ”

"Hehe......" Seeing this, Li Zhi chuckled, and then asked unhurriedly: "Old gentleman, what did those rich and noble families do when they were in disaster relief?" Could it be that they really give food for nothing, without any demands? ”

"How is this possible?!" After the old man heard Li Zhi's words, he immediately shook his head and said, "Those rich and noble families are actually for the land in our hands.

When there was a disaster, the rich and noble families sent their servants out to buy land at a very low price.

We were forced to sell our precious land to them at a very low price.

By the way, there are also some rich countries that don't want apprentices, but they want people, and they lack slaves in their families, so they take advantage of natural disasters to collect some people who are about to starve to death. ”

"Humph!" After Li Zhi heard the old man's words, he sneered and did not speak, but turned his head to look at Cao Ang with a playful gaze.

"......" After listening to the old man's words, Cao Ang completely fell into self-doubt, and his face became even more pale

Very pale.

He didn't expect the beautiful world in his mind to be so disgusting in reality!

This made him unable to accept the reality for a while, and he was greatly hit!

Li Zhi looked at Cao Ang, who was deeply shocked, chuckled, and then continued to ask the old man: "Old man, if you are from the government, how should you deal with the drought?" ”

"This ......" The old man frowned and thought for a long time before he said with some embarrassment: "The little old man has never been an official, so I don't know what those officials think."

However, Xiao Lao'er felt that if Xiao Lao'er was in the government, in the event of a drought, he would definitely have to find a way to dig a well first, and then see if he could draw some water from those big rivers.

Anyway, it's just a sentence, find a way to get water!

After all, this is the only way to alleviate the drought.

And we and other people all rely on the ground to eat, as long as we can keep the food in the field from disaster, even if we are tired to death, we are willing!

Therefore, once the government really finds out about such an order, we will definitely be more than happy to comply with it. ”

"Hehe......" After Li Zhi chuckled, he patted Cao Ang's shoulder and asked, "Did you hear that?" What do you think of this approach? ”

"......" After Cao Ang heard Li Zhi's words, his face was full of shame and he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

Even an ordinary old farmer knows how to deal with a disaster, and he, a man who has read poetry and books, should not have given random instructions and not even come up with a suitable strategy!

At this moment, the old man looked up at the sky and asked the old man Li Zhi, "Do you have anything else to ask the two gentlemen?" ”

After hearing the old man's words, Li Zhi turned his head and asked with a smile, "Does the old gentleman have anything to do?" ”

After the old man nodded, he said embarrassedly: "The old man will take people to dig some wild vegetables in the mountains in a while." ”

"......" After Li Zhi heard the old man's words, he immediately fell silent.

Now it's just spring, and the wild vegetables in the mountains have just sprouted, if it wasn't for being forced to be helpless, how could the old man choose to dig wild vegetables at this time?

"Alas......" After thinking of this, Li Zhi let out a long sigh, turned around, and asked Cao Ang seriously: "Ang'er, do you think you can gain something today?" ”

"It's a great harvest!" Cao Ang nodded seriously.

He no longer has the kind of pompousness just now, and when he knows that his ability to deal with practical things is not as good as that of an old peasant, the pride in his heart has been completely destroyed!

"Hehe......" Looking at Cao Ang, who had turned around slightly, Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It's good to have something to gain, since this is the case, then this old gentleman is your teacher for a day!"

But you, a student, are unfilial, and you have learned all the skills, but you haven't handed over the restraints, you really shouldn't! ”

"That's what the teacher said!" Cao Ang is also a smart person, after he heard Li Zhi's words, he immediately reacted, and hurriedly fumbled around his body, trying to find some money for the old man.

But after looking for a long time, he was embarrassed to find that he didn't even have a penny on him!

Also, on weekdays, he is a high-ranking nobleman, and when he buys things, he is accompanied by servants, how can he carry money with him?
