Chapter 242: Yu Nong

Han Laohu smiled and said: "Sir, look at the poverty of this Mayi, even half of our county is not comparable!" Wang Qingyang said on the side: "It can't be compared like this, I can be regarded as having walked through the south and the north, and I have never seen a few people who are richer than our county."

Huang Shilang also agrees with this, and Juxian is not only rich, but also full of a vibrant atmosphere, whether it is children, ordinary people, the elderly, merchants, hawkers, with a hopeful smile on their faces, they firmly believe that tomorrow will be better! And that's exactly what happened. Under the leadership of Su Bai and Tang Ju, the changes in Juxian County are almost the same every day, and the lives of the people are getting better and better. In the past, it was difficult for the people of Juxian County to even eat enough, and now who doesn't eat two meals of meat a week?

Su Bai shook his head and said: "The geographical location is different, after all, our county is close to Chang'an, and it is better than here next to the capital."

Huang Shilang said with a smile: "This is the lord's modesty, obviously the lord has governed well, how can he put the credit on the geographical location?" Several people laughed at the same time, and after rounding a hill, their eyes suddenly brightened.

At a glance, there was a lot of reclaimed land around, and there was a little cooking smoke not far away, it seemed that the people were making breakfast, Su Bai urged the horse and said: "Let's go, let's go and take a look in front of us", several people urged the horse to follow at the same time.

The small mountain village is not big, it seems that there are only a few dozen households, all of them are simple thatched houses, and the roads in the village are all dirt roads, fortunately there is no rain now, otherwise it will be muddy to walk.

When the people of the village heard the sound of horses' hooves, they all went out of the door curiously to look, and when they saw more than twenty knights in black iron armor, they all hid back in the room, as if they were afraid that they had come to recruit farmers.

Su Bai looked at this small mountain village, there were dozens of households with less than twenty cooking smoke rising from the chimneys, what about the others? Did they all run away? Su Bai shouted angrily: "Where is the village! ”

When the people heard this, they were all right, and they must have requisitioned farmers! At the moment, he was even more panicked, and a few young men who had not had time to escape even clapped their hands, only hating that they had no relatives at home.

Su Bai saw that no one answered when he shouted, and then roared angrily: "Where is Lizheng!" This time, there was an effect, and a rickety little old man walked out of a small grass house about fifty meters away, and the little old man hurriedly replied while walking: "General, general, the little old man is here, the little old man is here."

Su Bai saw Li Zheng coming out, so he put away his anger, and when Li Zheng came closer, Su Bai asked, "Li Zheng, why are there only so many people left in this village?" Li Zheng flattered: "General, didn't you hear that the Turks are coming, and those who have relatives from other places in the family have gone out to defect, and only we, the old, weak, sick and disabled, are left to guard the village."

Su Bai said angrily: "Nonsense! If there are bandits and horse bandits, will you be able to defend the village by relying on you old, weak, sick and disabled? Li Zheng sighed and said: "The general doesn't know, what we said is to guard the village, but in fact, we are just waiting for death."

Su Bai was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

Li Zheng sighed and said: "Everyone knows that the Turks are going to come in, but anyone who has a little ability has already fled, and the general has seen a squire along the way?" Su Bai shook his head, he just walked this way, Li Zheng They were the first group of living people they saw, where did they go to see the squire?

Li Zheng sighed and said: "The squires knew the news in advance, and they all went to Chang'an with all the soft and family members, and a few went to Ju County, saying that they were very rich recently, and they wanted to see if they could open a shop and settle down." Many young people in our village also followed, saying that it was easy to find a job there, and it was good to lead the owner. I pity us old men, we can't go far, and we don't want to drag down our children, so we can only wait here to die."

Su Bai was also a little sad when he heard it, the countryside was poor, there were no big animals such as cattle and horses, so naturally there were no cars, and old people like them had to guard the village and wait for death in order not to drag down their children, which was also a kind of sadness when I thought about it.

However, Su Bai still asked: "Who did Li Zheng hear that the Turks are about to come in?" Li Zheng sighed and said: "The general forgives the little old man for being rude, when did this imperial court garrison troops on the border, wasn't it because the Turks were about to come in?" And what time did it hold on? Xiao Lao'er has witnessed the entry of the Turks twice! There are more than 20 big girls and little daughters-in-law who have been plundered in our village, and there are no bones left! ”

Li Zheng's eyes were red when he said this, and his voice was a little hoarse: "The young people in the village are also killed and injured nearly 100 people!" Otherwise, our village would not be like this." Su Bai's heart was blocked when he heard this, and he said lightly: "Lizheng, we"

"It's okay!"

Before Su Bai finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zheng, who wept and said, "Little Lao'er doesn't blame the court!" When the Turks invaded, the warriors at the border were fighting hard! Fight to the last soldier! Little old man only blames himself for being old! It's useless! You can't fight for the court and kill all the Turkic dogs! ”

Li Zheng's emotional words, Su Bai and the others were a little sour and uncomfortable! Su Bai jumped off the war horse and held Li Zheng's hand and said, "Li Zheng rest assured!" I didn't come to defend the city! It's for the offense! Li Zheng may not know that my Datang has been recuperating for the past two years, and he is also strong at the moment! We will be able to defeat it this time! Beat them! So that no one will dare to commit it in twenty years! ”

Li Zheng also burst into tears when he heard it, he hadn't heard such words for a long time! The last time he learned that the Turks had hit Weishui, he had been crying at home for a long time, and he couldn't remember why he was crying! It's just that I couldn't wait to pick up a hoe and go out to fight the Turks! Looking at Su Bai's young face and resolute eyes, Li Zheng suddenly smiled, he believed that the young man in front of him!

Su Bai didn't explain much, he explained his name to Li Zheng, and told Li Zheng that he was camping outside Mayi County, fifteen miles away, and if there was any difficulty, just go to the camp to find him directly!

After finishing speaking, he turned over and walked away, at this time, Su Bai's mood was somewhat complicated, and he also somewhat understood why the Datang in the Zhenguan period would be the peak, because the current Datang people have a breath in their hearts! Even if you have been defeated so many times, you will not be angry! With the support of such a people, it is difficult not to win!

Behind him, Han Laohu and the others also felt a little depressed in their hearts, especially when they heard Li Zheng say just now that they were useless and couldn't fight for the court and kill all the Turkic dogs! They felt as if their hearts had been grasped by a large invisible hand!

He is old and says such things, what about himself? I'm in the prime of life now! What reason do you have not to fight bloodily! What about killing all the Turkic dogs? Several people's eyes slowly turned red. Only Huang Shilang and Su Bai still looked as usual, but looking at the hands of the two of them holding the reins, they knew that the two of them were obviously not in a calm mood now, and their joints were white!

Su Bai and his entourage wandered aimlessly in the countryside, no one spoke, and let the war horses roam on the road by themselves. Su Bai closed his eyes, his previous understanding of the Turks was only on paper, what Li Jingzhenguan broke the Eastern Turks in four years, Jieli Khan was captured and sent to Chang'an, etc.

Only now did he understand a sentence, what is not my race, its heart will be different!

The corners of Su Bai's mouth drew a hideous arc, since he had come to Datang, he must have to make some changes! Jieli Khan will not be arrested until the fourth year of Zhenguan! Is it a little too late? I think the sooner he dies, the better!

A nameless momentum appeared on Su Bai's body, people will always change, from wanting to make a fortune just now, to wanting to be an official to help the people, until he became a favorite of the East Palace. Now, Su Bai suddenly discovered that there is only one solution to many things, but there is only one such thing: violence!

Su Bai said softly: "This time, you can't let the people down", Han Laohu and the others were very close to Su Bai, and after hearing this, they all nodded fiercely and said: "That's right!" Su Bai said softly: "Mr. Huang, when I came here before, I was just bent on protecting myself, but now, I feel that I should do something." Su Bai looked back at the walker: "Get off the horse and rest!" ”

"Yes!"

The cavalry behind him agreed, dismounted and waited in place, Su Bai led Huang Shilang and the other three to ride away a short distance, Su Bai asked, "What does Mr. Huang know about the Turks?" ”

Huang Shilang thought for a while and said, "I don't know what the lord wants to ask?" ”

Su Bai asked, "Sir, do you know where the Jieli Khan's tooth court is located?" Huang Shilang nodded and said: "Located in the north of Wuyuan County" Su Bai nodded, this is a bit different from history, originally when Zhenguan was three years old, Ma Yi should still be in the hands of Jieli Khan, it was Li Jing who called over and scared Jieli Khan away!

Originally, I was still thinking that if I were close, I could give them a thousand-mile run! If it's in Gohara County, it's a little far away.

Huang Shilang obviously saw Su Bai's intentions, and said with some horror: "Could it be that the lord is thinking of running a thousand miles?" Su Bai smiled: "Mr. Huang still understands me!" Huang Shilang was so frightened that he almost fell off the horse. He said urgently: "My lord! Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry! Just the two thousand of us who went were nothing more than delivering food to others! Besides, it's a Turkic Yating, and all the Turkic elites are there, and we're afraid that our two thousand people will be shot into a sieve before we get close! ”

Su Bai was also a little embarrassed, scratched his head lightly and said, "That's why I denied this plan", but Han Laohu said excitedly: "I think this idea is good!" Our 2,000 people are all elites, and we will kill all the way! If they didn't leave a mouth, they naturally couldn't get the news, so they rushed forward and slashed that old bastard to death! Let's withdraw."

Huang Shilang hammered Han Laohu hard and said, "Brainless thing!" You can't be a Turk when you can't make mud, you can cut it if you want to? Su Bai was even more embarrassed, and felt that Huang Shilang was a bit of a suspicion of scolding Huai.

Su Bai hurriedly pretended to have a contemplative face and said: "What Mr. Huang said is extremely true, it was a little idealized just now", Huang Shilang quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The lord's mood for the people is understood, but the lord doesn't have to be so anxious!" Now it is a contest between our Tang Dynasty and the Turkic countries, it is difficult for us to make certain achievements with our two thousand people, what we can do is to assist the marshal well and make the best use of it! We also have to beware of them stumbling and return to Chang'an safely, this is what we should do."

Su Bai looked in the direction of the small mountain village just now, and wanted to say something, but Huang Shilang spoke first: "Sir! You can't put any burden on your shoulders! You have already carried Ju County! Is it difficult to carry the world? That's His Majesty's business! ”

Su Bai felt a rumble in his head, yes, he has already taken care of his fiefdom and lived and worked in peace and contentment, his task should be completed, why do you have to burden yourself? This kind of thing should be done by the emperor, otherwise what is he for? Buying the hearts and minds of the people?

Su Bai Su Bai couldn't help but think of his previous life, he also asked the old dean, why did he take in these orphans for them, if it weren't for them, the old dean wouldn't have to be so tired and live so undignified! There is no need to flatter people by serving tea and pouring water in order to let people donate some money! You don't have to wait for half a month in a government office to buy them clothes! You don't have to secretly go to the construction site to carry cement in order to add some meat and vegetables to them during the New Year!

At that time, the old dean just rubbed his head and smiled: "Because of these things, someone has to do it", Su Bai thought of the old dean's smile, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face. After entering the society in his last life, almost all the money he earned was given to the orphanage, in fact, he wanted to make the director easier, he was too tired to do it.

Su Bai was not confused, looked at Huang Shilang and said, "Someone has to do these things!" ”

Huang Shilang felt as if Su Bai was glowing, could it be that there were really saints in this world? Looking at Su Bai's eyes, he knew that Su Bai was serious, not the kind of person who only did good deeds with a certain purpose.

Su Bai leaked a smile and said: "These things are indeed things that Your Majesty should do, but aren't we courtiers just to share your Majesty's worries?" ”

Su Bai Langsheng said: "The world rises and falls!" The husband is responsible! A few people felt as if there was a thunderous explosion in their ears, and these eight words kept echoing in their minds! The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! What kind of person can say this?

Huang Shilang and the three of them turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and said, "I wish to be an adult!" Go to the soup! Liver and brain smeared on the ground! ”

Su Bai hurriedly dismounted and helped the three of them up: "People live for a lifetime, grass and trees for an autumn, you can't live for yourself in everything, if you set a goal for yourself, I hope it is, live for the rise of Datang!" ”

The three of them were a little shocked again, and they looked at Su Bai as if they were looking at a saint, and they felt that they were really following the right person, and only by following such a person would their life be meaningful!

Su Bai looked at their adoring eyes, and his heart was also dark; ''This is a pretend!'' Comfortable~
