As a result of successive victories and a large number of seizures, coupled with the policy of winning the hearts and minds of the people in the base areas, all the people who are attached to the base areas have seen hope, and at the same time, the people in the old camp and the base areas are no longer forced to exploit by the cool officials and landlords.

With the stability of the local area, and the original relief and later loans and other measures taken by the local government, the market has also improved greatly, and the merchants have come and gone, which has led to local prosperity, and in this starving land of Shaanxi, there has been a rare peaceful prosperity. Attracted by this relative prosperity, displaced people from other places have begun to flock to this place with their families, which is a good thing, but this has increased the pressure on the local government, which is first and foremost relief.

Through the grain seized in Zhaojiabao and Caojiaji and other places, I originally thought that it would be enough for the people in the old camp to live a good life for a few years, but now it seems that it is not good.

With the influx of a large number of displaced people, it is rare to dig canals in various places, and there are a lot of people who have reclaimed wasteland, but it has also increased a large number of people who open their mouths to eat, and the land harvest can not be harvested in front of them, it will take half a year to do, and now these people are waiting to be fed and cannot wait for half a moment, so Lu Shi arranged for various places to start taking out government grain stocks, giving relief to the old and weak women and children as much as possible, and adopting the method of cash-for-work for the young and strong, and began to build the foundation of the three places on a large scale. This also requires all kinds of materials, which in turn has led to the prosperity of the local economy, and businessmen from all over the country are eager to this emerging land, and it has also begun to drive the increase of commercial taxes.

The people are industrious, and the people who have obtained the land in Luochuan are unprecedentedly interested in production, and they are tired of the land that already belongs to them every day, ploughing and leveling, working day and night for spring ploughing, looking at the fields that their ancestors have dreamed of for generations, and dreaming of the autumn harvest.

Those who have some crafts are also eager to try, because the local government began to lend money to everyone at low interest rates, and at the same time taught everyone a new craft, self-winder, to become a new craft of eating.

Zhao Dayou, a farmer from Luochuan, has good carpenter skills, got up before dawn every day, found the ancestral carpenter tools, and began to carefully maintain and repair in this nest like an ice cellar, to see that the sky was getting brighter, and put on the clothes that he thought were the most decent, but it was just a patch of patches, so as not to leak the torn cotton wool clothes, found a straw rope and tied the waist tightly, his mother-in-law wore a single dress that could barely cover the shame of the summer, and also got up early to help the man pick up, Also ruthless in the great benefactor Chuang Wang sent those noodles, scoop a scoop, look at but unwilling to fall back half, look back and see the pitiful eyes of the two children hiding in the broken straw mat, and the ruthless heart is full again, but still reluctant, after all, the old lady is also lying in the kang, although her eyes are closed and she does not speak, but the body of the person can hardly be seen in the straw mat, and let herself be ruthless again, grab a handful of noodles, smash the thick ice in the water tank, and fill the broken pot with water first, Zhao Dayou squatted down, At the door of the stove to help add firewood, the red stove fire reflected the original gray face of the big you and a touch of crimson, as the water in the broken pot boiled, the original ice cellar-like nest began to heat again.

When the mother-in-law saw that the water was boiling, she made two cakes of the finished noodles and put them on the pot, and poured the rest into the boiling water to make a pot of paste, and in the inside of the stove, she took out a clay pot, carefully pinched out a little soil salt in it, sprinkled it into the pot, and then stirred it carefully. A smell of batter filled the warm ground.

Zhang Dayou raised his head to look at his mother-in-law, saw the red face reflected in the stove, and saw a satisfied smile on his face, a rare happy smile, and a long-lost look in his eyes, how long has this smile not been seen in his eyes? Is it ten years, or twenty years? Thinking about it, it was only one time when I visited the church with her, and then, this difficult day was nothing but frost and misery on my aunt's face, so what else was there? Under the pressure of wind and frost, only misery and hopelessness remained, but at this time, I saw a long-lost smile, and I felt so bright and beautiful, but for a while I was stupid.

Seeing the paste in the pot become fragrant, the mother-in-law was also satisfied and happy in her heart, and suddenly felt the man's eyes, but when she looked up, it was the man's fiery eyes, and the eyes were not the same as the ashes and helplessness of the past, but the endless anticipation and eagerness for a new life, and the rare blushing at the moment, such as the first time we met when we were young.

"What are you looking at, dead ghost, haven't you seen enough in the past twenty years?" It's rare to have the innocence of a girl.

Zhang Dayou looked at it like this, and his mouth was full of voices: "I don't want you to be as beautiful as you were now, I haven't seen your laughter for more than ten or twenty years, why doesn't this make me happy?" Speaking of this, his voice was dark, "It's all my fault, but it's not a good day to beat you to marry me, so that you don't have a smile for a day, but it's miserable all day." ”

"What do you mean? Husband and wife are the same body, where can they say such kind words? Actually, I'm still very satisfied, different sisters next door, you are a man, after all, you still saved our mother and son. ”

Thinking of the sisters next door, I felt sad for a while, they were all neighbors for many years, and I watched the family starve to death last month, all of which were the flesh that fell from their bodies, and the sister's miserable cry was really heartbreaking, but what could it be? His own home is also a bareback, and there is not a single grain left over from the four walls. I can only watch as the neighbor's man was taken away by the evil slave of King Cao Yan, and entered the black prison of the Cao family, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and the sister next door only took the only second son, leaving all the baskets on their shoulders to go out to beg for food, in this world, the poor help each other, but how many families of the poor have surplus food? Counting on the rich, that is a fool's dream, the mother and son went and there was no news, thinking about which ditch was filled, and so the army of King Chuang destroyed the king of Cao Yan, and saved the brother out, the brother was accompanied by two military men, carrying three stones of grain and rushing home, but people went to the house to empty the house and died, a good man, the terrible cry is still so heart-piercing now, the man finally stomped his foot, and with the sent army into the army of King Chuang, there was no news as soon as he went.

Thinking of King Chuang, the husband and wife couldn't help but solemnly recite Amitabha.

His family has rented the land of King Cao Yama for generations, and the family is busy in the autumn but has to hand over eighty percent of the harvest, and there are endless official taxes and servitude, seeing that this year's drought is hopeless, it just so happens that the father-in-law has tuberculosis again, and borrowed the debt of the king of Hades from the small landlord in this village, according to the rules but double the profit, the money is borrowed from the medicine is bought, but the person is still not saved, even the mother-in-law is sad and sick, and there is no hope, but suddenly the news that the army of King Chuang attacked Cao Jiaji, This is great news, my man didn't say a word, don't put on his carpenter's axe and went, the family waited for three days in fear, when the mother-in-law was crying out for the sky, his man came back with a soldier who broke into the army, and he was pushing a wheelbarrow in his hand, and the car was five stones of grain.

God, that's really the best food, that's five stones, since I can remember, my family has never had so much food, if my family saves, mixed with wild vegetables and grass roots, you will definitely be able to eat next year's autumn harvest.

The man didn't wait for everyone to be happy, he took out a small bag in the car, and opened it in front of his mother-in-law, but it was a bunch of copper coins and a few pieces of white flowers, which he and the child didn't know, but the mother-in-law picked up a piece with trembling hands, bit it with the few remaining teeth, and said in a trembling voice: "Son, where did this silver come from?" Don't steal, we can't do anything like that even though we're poor. ”

The man who came with him said that this was the Zhuangzi sent by King Chuang to defeat King Cao Yan and give us relief, so that my mother-in-law would receive it with a thousand thanks.

Feelings are silver, this is the first time I have seen the legendary silver, real silver.

The man is really capable, let the old lady put away the silver, and took out a bag of salt, this is a good thing, the old lady just carefully dipped a little with her fingertips, carefully put it in her mouth, Yang raised her head, just closed her eyes, tasted it carefully in the winter sun, for a long time, and then sighed like a dream: "It's delicious, this is a taste that has not been seen for a long time." ”

I also carefully dipped some into the children's mouths like my mother-in-law, and put them in my own mouths, the salty taste is really beautiful, how long have I not eaten salt? I've almost forgotten the taste of salt.

There is also a great good thing, that is, the man trembled and took out a brand new title deed in his arms, and told the old lady, let's rent the original Cao Yan King's thirty acres of land, from now on there will be twenty acres of their own, as long as one hundred catties of grain is handed over to the army of the king every year, there will be no more taxes and servitude, the mother-in-law fainted to the ground at that time, it was a great joy to make the mother-in-law who was originally weak faint, and when the mother-in-law woke up, she couldn't say anything, so she only cried and cried.

When everyone was happy, the soldier took his men to walk from house to house, counted the households in the village that needed relief, and then organized them to rush to Caojiaji to receive the money and food.

His man in the company of the military man, went to the Hades debtor to repay the debt, was the life of double the profit, in the military Han announced the rules of the king, rent reduction and interest reduction, the small landlord's head and chicken skewer rice, his man with the king of heaven to give money to pay him back, that is five habits of money, according to the rules of the king of heaven plus three percent of the annual interest, is six habits five, a whole less three habits.

In the end, the soldier lived in his own village, in the open space of the neighbor's house where his family was ruined, and his man was appointed as the leader of the militia squad, and he really came out.
