Although the injury has improved, under Hua Tuo's strict requirements, Hua Xing can only lie in bed to rest in the next ten days and is not allowed to go out.

Fortunately, with Diao Chan company, and people come to visit him from time to time, Huaxing will not be too boring.

During this period, the most interesting visitor was none other than Guo Huzi.

From Huaxing's surgery to now, Huzi has come to see him four or five times, but it is still not enough.

Out of admiration for Huaxing, he brought his beautiful mother to visit Huaxing two days ago.

This time, he also made a special trip to prepare a special gift for Huaxing, which was a wooden sword that he spent three days building by hand.

Receiving this gift, Huaxing was very happy, praised Huzi's good craftsmanship, and promised that when Huzi became an adult, he would definitely give the other party a real sword as a gift in return.

This can be very happy for Huzi, and I don't know if it's because of a moment of brain fever, or if I really have this thought, so I listened to the child's words Huzi sighed on the spot: If Uncle Hua is his father, how good it would be!

As soon as these words came out, Huaxing quickly remembered that the head of Yongcun had told him that Huzi's father died when Huzi was very young, and he was raised by his mother and grandmother, and he had never experienced true fatherly love since he was a child.

The moment he thought of this, a look of pity suddenly welled up on Huaxing's face.

And Guo Mu, who was sitting opposite, was ashamed to blush after listening to Huzi's words.

Without waiting for Hua Xing to speak, she immediately got up and hurriedly left the ward with an inexplicable tiger.

After going out, he also taught Huzi a hard lesson, telling him not to say this kind of thing again in the future.

Although Huzi didn't understand the truth, he didn't dare not listen to his mother's words, so he could only agree with a look of grievance.

……

Half a month later, Hua Tuo finally allowed Hua Xing to get out of bed and move around.

After holding in the house for more than a month, Huaxing felt that he was about to get moldy.

After learning the good news, he immediately ran to the barracks for a turn.

Although the construction of the barracks has not yet been completed, after seeing the rows of neat buildings with his own eyes, Huaxing immediately showed a satisfied smile.

As the village chief said, the house they built was really fast and good. It has only been a little over a month, and most of the barracks have already taken shape, and it will not take long to complete it.

After reading the barracks, Huaxing moved to the house of the head of Yongcun again.

There is something he has been thinking about for a long time, and he plans to go and talk to the village chief today.

"General Hua? Y-Why are you here? ”

Seeing Huaxing outside the house, Yong Xingwang was obviously taken aback:

"You should rest more if you are injured, what is there to ask the old man to come over?"

"It's okay, my injuries have healed a lot. You've been to see me a few times during this time, and it's time for me to run my own errands. ”

At the beckoning of the village chief, the two quickly sat down at the table. As soon as I sat down, I heard Huaxing take the lead and say:

"I have two things to talk to you about today. The first one is about the barracks, and I just went to the barracks to take a closer look......"

"How?" Seeing that the other party suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, Yong Xingwang said with a worried face: "Yes, is there something wrong?" ”

"Huh. Absolutely! The house was built quickly and well. I thank the village chief here for all the soldiers! ”

Speaking of this, Huaxing clasped his hands into fists and saluted respectfully to the village chief.

"Huh? I can't do it, I can't do it! It's good if the general is satisfied. As long as you are willing to stay in the village, this little thing is not a problem. After raising his hand to help Hua Xing up, he listened to Yong Xingwang continue:

"Besides, in fact, most of the work is done by the general's soldiers, we just work and make suggestions."

"The village chief is too modest! After the barracks are completed, I will take out some silver taels to reward everyone, and I hope that the village chief will not refuse at that time. As for the second thing...... "Speaking of this, I listened to Huaxing's voice and said:

"I'm planning to develop agriculture in our village, can you tell me about the current state of the crop?"

In the past, Huaxing was alone, and he had Lu Pu, the richest man in Luoyang, behind him as a backer, so Huaxing never worried about food.

But now, after discovering that Lu Pu was hiding something from him, Huaxing's heart gave birth to a sense of crisis.

If Yang Tie's incident was just a misunderstanding, and Lu Pu was not his enemy, then everything was okay.

However, if it is true that Lu Pu is not only from a hostile force, but also has been deceiving himself, as the man in black said, then Huaxing must no longer be stupid to continue to rely on the other party.

Putting your own lifeblood in the hands of your enemies is never a wise choice.

Therefore, just in case, during the days when Huaxing was recuperating from his injury, although he was idle, his mind never stopped. After more than a month of thinking, he finally came up with a way to make ends meet on their own.

"Agricultural crops? What do you mean? ”

Seeing that Yong Xingwang was puzzled, Hua Xing hurriedly explained: "Oh, what kind of grains are we growing in our village now?" ”

"Oh, the grain? Our village is basically planted with millet. ”

Su is millet, this Huaxing still understands: "Is this the only one?" Why don't you grow some wheat or something? ”

"Well, in comparison, millet is more viable, and even in a big drought, you can have some harvest. As for wheat, there are also human species, but there are not many of them, and most of them are wild. Yong Xingwang replied truthfully.

"Oh, that's right. Is the annual harvest enough to eat? ”

"It used to be enough, but if you count the general's men, it will definitely not be enough...... But don't worry, general, I'll tell everyone in a few days, let everyone have more in the future, and help the general share the pressure of grain and grass. ”

Seeing that the village chief was so enthusiastic, Huaxing immediately smiled gratefully:

"It would be great if we could share the responsibility, but we certainly won't take it for nothing. You can tell the villagers that in the future, our army will collect grain for a long time, and the price will be three points higher than outside. As long as there is food, we will receive it all, and we will never break our promise! ”

Normally, at that time, villagers had to pay annual taxes to local warlords in areas protected by the army or government.

There are many types of taxes, and there are three or four common ones, which are usually referred to by the common people: the levy of corn, the levy of cloth, the levy of forced labor, and the levy of silver.

Corn and cloth are relatively intuitive, referring to the handing over of grain and clothing; Forced labor refers to military service, that is, military service; The levy of silver refers to the poll tax, whether you work or not, as long as you are an adult, you have to pay a certain amount of silver as a tax every year.

In Yong Xingwang's view, after Hua Xing and the others are stationed in Luyuan Village, they will definitely collect all kinds of taxes like other warlords, and he has already been prepared.

What is surprising is that Huaxing not only did not ask everyone to hand over grain, but also said that he would collect grain at a high price!

Hearing this, Yong Xingwang's face immediately showed a look of confusion.
