Chapter 277: Deliver the Peoples
The team of people and horses hit the road again, still moving forward cautiously, no matter how many times Zheng Daniu said that as long as he is there, the bandits in the mountains and forests will not trouble them, but Jia Yi still sent countless spies, which can really be described as cautious, but as the so-called caution is not a big mistake, it is really not Jia Yi's habit to put his fate in the hands of others.
The spies reported one after another that many camps had been found in the forest, but all of them were empty, and judging from the fact that there were still campfires in the camps, the people of these camps should not have gone too far.
Jia Yi didn't send people to search for the owners of these camps, not unwillingly, there was really no need, according to what Zheng Daniu said, these people are some escaped villagers who are hiding in the village forest, and they don't have much lethality in themselves, and they hide in the forest just to be able to get rid of the harassment of bullies and live a stable life.
After dealing with the bully in Luonan County, Jia Yi had the intention to let them return to their respective villages to continue their original lives, but now the bully was still swaggering through the market, and it was really not a good time to return, so Jia Yi waved his hand directly, letting the spies who returned to him continue to pay attention to the movements around him, and the army continued to move forward under his instructions.
After walking for more than 20 miles in half a day, the originally lush jungle suddenly became cheerful, and it stands to reason that there should be a process of trees gradually becoming loose when they come out of the jungle, but Jia Yi and others went from being obscured by the jungle to suddenly a large plain in front of them, just a moment, just a moment of thing, it was really just a feeling of stepping out, and the jungle appeared behind them.
Jia Yi, who was a little uncomfortable, looked around, only to find that the ground was full of tree roots exposed to the air, and it was obvious that the trees in this area were often cut down, which led to such a view.
In later generations, Jia Yi didn't remember seeing any forest here on the map, it should have disappeared into the long river of history after more than 1,000 years of deforestation.
What kind of consequences the disappearance of trees would bring, Jia Yi already knew when he was very young, so he already had the idea of protecting this jungle in his heart, but he didn't have any idea how to implement it at that time.
After another half an hour, a river about ten meters wide lay in front of them.
Walking out of Guanzhong and heading south, the waterway will become denser and denser, so Jia Yi did not feel any surprise at the appearance of such a river here, but just ordered everyone to cross the river quickly, and strive to reach the outside of the county seat before dark.
Walking through the small river, what is presented in front of everyone is the endless plain, full of farmland that has just been greened and many mulberry fields that have begun to sprout, Jiang Ting has also said her life experience before, you can appear a rich silk merchant in Luonan County, and if you want to come here, it should also be a good place to produce silk, so the appearance of those mulberry fields is not very strange.
Walking slowly, Jia Yi finally found something unusual, those lands that began to grow all kinds of weeds, there were ridges everywhere, it was obvious that these lands should have been fertile fields before, but no one had planted them for a long time, which would present such a scene.
Then there is the mulberry field, the mulberry field is full of mulberry trees, but the body of those mulberry trees is scattered with all kinds of scars, some like axes cut, some like sword wounds, the whole good mulberry forest, not like a place to produce mulberry leaves, more like a place for knights to compete in martial arts.
You don't have to guess to know that it must be the good thing that the bully did again, Jia Yi waved his hand and pulled Deng Yi to him, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the mulberry forest, and asked him what was going on with the scars on those trees.
"That's what we did."
Deng Yi didn't know if it was his conscience or what, and he actually showed a very ashamed look when he said this again.
"Tell me what's going on, otherwise you won't have enough to eat and play with trees." Although these trees are covered with staggered scars, but these injuries are impossible to kill the mulberry tree, although the leaves of the mulberry tree are necessary plants for raising silkworms, but this does not mean that the vitality of the mulberry tree is very fragile, on the contrary, the vitality of the mulberry tree is very tenacious, as long as most of the bark is not stripped away, then the mulberry tree will not have any danger to life.
"That's ......"
After listening to Deng Yi's narration, Jia Yi let out a helpless sigh, there is a way to care about chaos, not to mention the Sannong who regards these trees as his own life, when he saw someone cutting axes and chiseling on their trees, he immediately felt that those knives and axes were not cut on the trees but on them, crying bitterly Needless to say, no matter what kind of requests Deng Yi and others put forward, they must be full of promises, just begging them not to hurt these mulberry trees, so that Deng Yi and others have achieved their goal.
"In other words, now this mulberry field belongs to your master?"
"Exactly."
"Do you know how much land he grabbed and how many mulberry fields he grabbed in Luonan County?"
Deng Yi glanced up at Jia Yi, a little hesitant, but after some simple thinking, he still told everything he knew, so that Jia Yi's eyes were straight when he heard it, he really didn't expect that in Luonan County, not far from Chang'an City, there would be such a thing, and it would not be known or that no one would come to take care of it, which was simply a miracle.
Thirty percent of the land in Luonan County fell into the hands of the bully, and fifty percent of the mulberry fields became his private property, as for the silkworm farmers, most of them should fall under his jurisdiction, Jia Yi really couldn't figure it out, isn't this bully afraid that Skynet will be restored and not leaked, and he is not afraid that all the evil deeds he committed here will be exposed one day?
This kind of money obtained through tricks and robberies is the most unlasting, after all, the money obtained by abnormal means often carries all kinds of opponents and enemies, as long as the opponents and enemies are ready, this bully will inevitably bear their thunderous anger, hasn't he thought about how miserable his fate will be in the future?
People die for money, and birds die for food, it's really not just a matter of talking about it, there are really people in the world who will do anything for a lot of money.
Originally, Jia Yi didn't want to take care of this kind of thing, but he couldn't come over under the pressure of the brothers, but now when he heard such an interesting thing, he actually had a trace of fun and planned to meet the bully in person.
Seeing that the sun began to set westward, Jia Yi's sight could be regarded as the existence of living people, countless farmers standing in the farmland and working hard, were looking up at their group of mighty people, because the distance was too far, Jia couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, so he didn't know what kind of psychology they were now.
Under normal circumstances, people have dense phobia, after seeing such a large number of people, normal people's thoughts should be to find a hidden place to hide first, and then sneak around, it will definitely not be like a wooden stake like now, just pestle in the ground, watching their brigade of 3,000 people slowly approach them.
Soon someone came to the front of the team, a young man about the same age as Deng Yi, the same in his twenties, but different from Deng Yi who was skinny, but this person was covered with fat, even better than too fat, so that his face would always be full of red light, and there were even flashes of oil.
"Who are you and why did you go to my Luonan County."
"What, then Luonan County is your home, why don't you let people pass?"
Jia smiled at the fat roadblocker and said.
The fat man was not annoyed when he heard this, and still looked at Jia Yi with a smile: "I advise you to leave quickly, although I don't have the final say in this Luonan County, but my lord is the master of the entire Luonan County, you have such a large team of people, there are a lot of them, if you want to enter the county, you will definitely be regarded as a thief attacking Datang County, and when the time comes, it will attract officers and soldiers, so that you can't eat and go around." ”
From the words of this fat man, Jia Yi knew a news, that is, the bully in Luonan County is really a little related, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to borrow soldiers and horses from the military to manage the affairs of his family, that is to say, he should be in the military lineage, if it is in Chang'an, Jia Yi can think of who it is after some calculation, but now it is in Luonan, it is really difficult to associate the bully here with any military boss in Chang'an City, and now the plan is only known after seeing it.
"Let's see who this person is." Jia Yi waved his hand to his subordinates, and soon Deng Yi, who was helped into a zongzi, stood next to Jia Yi's horse.
The fat man who was still smiling just now, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared by three points after seeing Deng Yi, and the tone of his voice was also raised, pointing at Jia Yi and saying loudly: "You are really bold, why don't you release Butler Deng quickly, and teach my master to be lenient with you." ”
"you."
Cheng Chumo listened to the dead fat man and Jia Yimo grinding and chirping for a long time, and he couldn't help it for a long time, seeing that the fat man began to pretend to be 13 again, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, and without saying a word, he rushed towards the fat man.
The fat man thought that he was used to running rampant in the countryside on weekdays, after the initial taming stage, now when he went out, he basically just brought two guards by his side to support the façade, unlike Deng Yi who needed to surround and arrest those Diao people on the periphery, but what he never expected was that someone would really dare to do something to him here, I don't know if he was scared or how to drop, he actually stood in place and couldn't move.
