Chapter 477: Personally Inspected
The breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger, and the warm south wind has become gentle, with the warm sunshine, making people more lazy, that is, the travelers who walk on the road have lost the spirit of excitement, the pace has become slow, and everything has become like sleep rather than sleep.
But when I entered the Luochuan realm, everything was different from other places, and it seemed that they had returned to their original rhythm, not only recovered, but also became faster.
Along the way, there are no displaced people fleeing the famine, all you see are people working all over the land, the fields have seen new soil, that is the traces of ploughing, a canal extending from the river beach, dividing this large field into pieces, and at the end of the canal, on the river beach, there are dozens of men, all hands and feet are installing something, here can not see the result of the installation, but looking into the distance, there are a large or small huge wing-like guys, in this gentle spring breeze, lazily spinning, At the bottom of the whirling, there was no man to push, no oxen to pull, and a single stream of river water, driven by this huge windmill, was lifted up the high bank of the river, and flowed into the dug ditch, and then bubbled down the ditch, and flowed continuously into the fields, so that the people there cheered.
This is the legendary windmill.
In the clearly divided plots, there are families, old people, children, men and women are busy, and from a distance, it is bustling and full of people.
There is no slacking off for the landlord when he is farming, and there is no laziness when he is plowing for Huangzhuang Wangtian, everything has become diligent and careful, for fear of missing a piece of last year's raw land and affecting this year's production.
Disabled men in cyan clothes, difficult, but enthusiastic, ran between each family, shouting and urging, but not beating and scolding, and no one resisted them.
All the shouting became elated, and when you listened carefully, it was like this: "Zhang's family, hurry up and level that section of the land, and the ditch dug is not deep enough, and it has to be deepened, or the water that will come up tomorrow will be blocked by you, not only will you not be able to water it well, but it will also be delayed in the next house, all of them are from the villagers, and the planting of potatoes has been delayed, and it is half a year's harvest to eat, do you want to starve to death or do you want to starve to death neighbors and brothers." ”
Zhang Laosan, who was reprimanded, hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Village chief, you can rest assured, I will take the old and the young to rush to work to ensure that the irrigation time will not be delayed." ”
"Hurry up, I'll go to the next house to have a look, I'll check when I go back, if your section doesn't meet the requirements, I'll punish you for standing guard at night."
"Yes, yes, I'm absolutely up to the task." Looking at the village chief who was in a hurry, Zhang Laosan greeted his mother-in-law: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't hurry up and repair the canal." ”
"However, my family's land has not been turned over yet."
"Don't grind, it's important to repair the canal, it's related to a village, let's sleep less at night." As he spoke, he didn't wait for his mother-in-law to say more, and ran directly to the ditch in the field with a pickaxe.
Tie Ying, dressed as a businessman, with a few cronies, walked in this hot and vigorous world that appeared everywhere, and his steps couldn't help but get up, and his mood couldn't help but be cheerful.
I couldn't see an adult on the road, so I grabbed a half-grown boy who hurriedly walked in front of me, squatted down and asked, "Little brother, has your family divided the land?" Where is your land? ”
The kid looked at him, then raised his little face, and said proudly and proudly: "My family has divided thirty acres of land, twenty acres near the river, and ten acres under the mountain, what, don't you divide it?" ”
"Hahaha, I don't have a score, I just came here, I don't know if I can get it."
The kid looked at Tie Ying carefully again, and then nodded: "Wanderer, as long as you go to the Cao Jiaji government to register and say where you come from, you can get the land, one person is divided into four acres, two acres along the river, can be watered with windmills, and two acres of backers, you can only watch God speak, but in addition to the land that you are divided, you can also rent the land that has not been divided, and at the same time, you can also apply for loans and buy farm tools, and potato seeds are issued by the government and do not cost money." ”
Tie Ying couldn't help but be shocked, how could this one-and-a-half-sized man be able to say that the policy of the base area was so straightforward? It seems that this Lu Shi has really worked hard.
Seeing that Tie Ying didn't speak again, the half-grown son hurriedly said, "If you're okay, let's go, I'm still busy, so I won't accompany you." With that, he hurried away.
Those cronies looked at the children who were far away, and couldn't help but smile and whispered to Tie Ying: "I really didn't see it, that King Chuang really worked hard." ”
Iron Eagle nodded.
"It's just that this base is also lax, everyone is busy planting and spring ploughing, and there is not even a guard, so they are not afraid of poles to take advantage of the fire to rob?" Another cronie also whispered his opinion.
Tie Ying also felt the same way, he and others had entered Luochuan for dozens of miles, but he didn't see a team of poles to check, and he didn't see the militia that the second brother said appeared, which is indeed a bit too conceited, in case a gang of poles take advantage of the fire to rob, then King Chuang will suffer a big loss. From this point of view, although this king has the talent to govern the world, he is also a lord who is easy to be arrogant, such a person can't go far, so he decided to hand over 30,000 fathers to him, isn't it too rushed.
"There's a village in front, let's go in and have a look." Iron Eagle didn't want to make a decision too soon, so he wanted to go ahead and take a look.
There is a village on the front of the soil, there are about dozens of families, one of them is still a few blue brick caves, and there is a neat courtyard circle, at first glance, it is a landlord, outside the courtyard gate, an old man is basking in the sun on the stone pier.
Seeing Iron Eagle and they came directly to him, the old man set up the pergola, looked behind Iron Eagle, and after seeing it clearly, he beckoned: "Do business?" ”
Tie Ying looked around, there were no outsiders here, and he knew that he was greeting himself, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yes, old man, I have walked more than ten miles, I am thirsty, and I want to make it convenient for you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, they're all out of the house, come on, there's a water tank in the yard, scoop water and drink it yourself."
The courtyard is quiet, there is no figure walking around, according to common sense, the landlord's house should be someone at this time.
After drinking the water, Tie Ying squatted beside the old man and asked, "Old man, where is your family?" ”
The old man looked at Tieying and pointed to the opposite river beach: "The family built a windmill this year, no, my son, daughter-in-law and maid have all gone there to watch, so I will be left alone to watch the house." ”
Looking at the place where the old man pointed out, in the distance, there were indeed a few well-dressed people busy there.
"Then you have an open door and don't hire a nurse? This world is not peaceful, don't be taken by the pole. ”
The old man squinted at Tie Ying, and said disapprerovitically: "The world is not peaceful, it is somewhere else, we are here, it is too peaceful, and the pole is returned, if the pole comes, he has not entered the base area for three miles, and the custody will be wiped out." It's also a ride, he thinks it's beautiful. ”
Looking at Tie Ying's distrustful look, the old man smiled with his toothless mouth, "Young man, you didn't bring a knife or gun, and you didn't do anything wrong, otherwise you would still be able to get here?" The day before yesterday, it was there-" a piece of empty field splashed by a finger, "a group of poles, divided into several batches, want to take advantage of the spring ploughing everyone to rob our house, hahaha, when they gathered, before they could be launched, a firework, the village soldiers who had quietly gathered immediately surrounded them, and before the poles understood, the cavalry of King Chuang was killed, and as a result, they could only kneel on the ground and surrender and shout for mercy. ”
"Is it really that amazing?" One of Iron Eagle's cronies didn't believe it, and was a little eager to try it.
The old man didn't panic at all, glanced at the cronies, and just grinned: "I saw you coming, the child on the way is our trusted disciple of the King Chuang faction here, on the one hand, he handed over the literacy of the children in our village, on the one hand, what is it called an internship, and on the other hand, he is also the head of the newly established children's group, we all call him Mr. Xiao, he just went to inspect you again, it seems that you have passed, otherwise, you have long been surrounded by the militia, do you still want to try?" Then you can give it a try. After speaking, he tilted his head and looked at the pro-soldier with a smile, his face full of a desire to see the excitement.
Being reminded by this, Tie Ying suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, compared with just now, when he first entered the base area, there was a man, under the pretext of selling things, and he talked to himself for a long time, thinking about that look, he was completely vigilant and cunning. Also, every time I pass a village during the period, I will happen to meet one or two idlers who come up and wait for me to ask, how can there be such idlers in the dark of spring ploughing? It seems that he has been under the supervision of others all the way. No wonder this old man is so calm.
"Still want to try?" The old man asked the Iron Eagle cronie as if he was challenged, and the cronie quickly shook his head and quickly squatted down in an orderly manner.
"You're not merchants, so you're here to hear the news." The old man asked with a grin.
Tie Ying opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, his family was sent by outsiders to spy on him, which no one could tolerate.
"Don't be nervous, in the base area, there are more spies, there are everywhere in the three mountains and five mountains, even the various merchant brigades, and the imperial court, there is nothing unusual." The old man leaned on crutches, put his chin upside down on the hands at the head of the crutches, looked at Tie Ying's stunned expression, and smiled even more proudly: "Actually, we said that what we are doing is righteous and bright, and it is all good for the people, I hope everyone will spy and learn, if you can learn to go back and do it according to our methods, then King Chuang is still happy, how can you prevent it?" ”
This made Iron Eagle nod involuntarily.
"Actually, I'm old and can't do any work, but looking at this good day, I feel happy, and I can't stay still, so the government sent me a reception job."
"Reception? What kind of treatment will you receive, and who will you receive? Tie Ying was confused, and asked the doubts in his heart again and again.
"Hahaha, who else, it's a spy like you." Looking at Tie Ying with a surprised face, the old man straightened up and said with a serious face: "Come, don't work hard to listen around, what do you want to hear?" You ask me, I answer you, there is something I really don't understand, I can't answer, I call the political magistrate here to answer you, how about it? ”
Tie Ying was completely shocked, completely convinced, stood up, bowed deeply to the old man, and then said sincerely, "Old man, I want to see King Chuang, I have many questions, I want to ask him personally, is it okay?" ”
