The spring breeze is warm, the sun is warm, and the blue sky is like a wash after the rain, in the slight summer breeze, wrapped in the thick fragrance of fresh soil and wildflowers, how can the mood not be refreshing?

Lu Shi half-squinted his eyes, took a deep breath of fresh and moist air, smiled as if he was sighing, and seemed to say to Zhao Zi: "How long has it been since I breathed this kind of air full of water vapor?" It's been a good rain. ”

Infected by the peaceful and tranquil Lu Shi, Zhao Zi involuntarily took a deep breath of the cool air, and half covered his eyes, and then exhaled a breath of turbidity and said: "Indeed, it seems that after I came here from my hometown in Jiangnan, except for the dry and cold yellow wind, I have never breathed such good air again, sweeping away the dirt and soothing my mind." is a pun, but it also reveals the previous helplessness.

"In fact, this kind of air, as long as the mood is there, you can breathe it at any time, but you can't feel it even if you are wrapped in this air all day long." Lu Shi smiled slightly, and relaxed his body easily.

Zhao Zi looked at the young scribe with deep meaning, and couldn't help nodding lightly: "Little brother is right, there may have been such air before, but the surrounding turbidity is too heavy, so it is suppressed, even if my brother and I want to breathe, it is all pickled things with black smoke and miasma, where can there be such a heart-to-heart feeling of little brother?" "Zhao Zi is now starting to regard himself as his brother, in fact, in his heart, he should treat this thief, especially the brother of the thief who has a lot of potential, and he is not wronged.

The two of them spoke like playing dumb riddles, and even more so in the tone of the scribes, Chunlan, who was sitting behind Lu Shi at the time, was depressed, and couldn't help muttering: "The two of you are together, why don't you talk well, but it's sour, I have a toothache." ”

Chunlan was spoiled in the base area, and acted absolutely according to her own preferences, regardless of the presence of the parties, at this time, although the voice was small, but the tea house was quiet, everyone really heard it, as soon as these words came out, the six people in the tea house couldn't help but be stunned together, and then Lu Shi and Zhao Zi glanced at each other, laughed together, and the last bit of mustard estrangement in their hearts disappeared.

"Yes, yes. We are all God's best friends, so why should we follow the example of the sour man, let's do what we want to do freely. After speaking, Lu Shi soothed his body, cocked Erlang's legs, and picked up the tea bowl in front of him, but this time he didn't invite Zhao Zi, but drank it himself.

Zhao Zi also laughed, they were all reckless people, why did they suddenly learn that corrupt manner? also laughed, drank all the water in the tea bowl in front of him, stretched the hem of the robe, comfortably lifted Erlang's legs, leaned his body comfortably on the back of the chair, opened the fan in his hand, and fanned the wind slowly.

The two of them relaxed, and the other people in the tea house also let go, and the three children even got the master's meaning, and were pulled by Zhang Xiao and ran to the field to go crazy.

Looking at a field full of vitality, Zhao Zi couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a good rain, it can fall at this critical time, I don't know how many lives have been saved, especially in our county, and I don't know how many people will be saved from famine in the future." ”

"yes." Lu Shikou said: "This rain is timely, just in time to rush to plant summer grain, if it is a little later, the harvest will be discounted." "Look at the people who are toiling all over the ground outside,

"The people all say that it is this rain, it is the reincarnation of the king of Chuang who is the king of heaven, and the dragon king is detained and specially descended for this Yichuan, if this is the case, it is really a blessing for the people of Yichuan." Zhao Zi squinted his eyes, gently fanned the fan, and didn't look at Lu Shi.

The old gentleman said with a smile, the people are willing to attach their best hopes to the good things or people in their hearts, in fact, where are the gods in this world? If he is a god, everyone should tie him up, put him on the pyre, and then let him ask for rain for the people at any time to solve problems, if not, it is a board, if it is just a fake god stick, simply burn it, then, wouldn't the world be smooth? I know what a king is, and he's a desperate hairy boy, not a bullshit fairy at all. ”

These words were said by Lu Shiping plainly, which immediately caused Chunlan to laugh.

Zhao Zi stopped the fan in his hand, glanced at Lu Shi with slanted eyes, and then slowly stirred up. But in this light cloud, there are turbulent waves in my heart.

A young man, a young man who has great ambitions and big minds in all kinds of ideas, a young man with a group of brothers, who has killed a foundation in thousands of troops, and in the best opportunity to teleport the reincarnation of the Heavenly King, he does not take the opportunity to build momentum like the careerists of the past generations, but he shirks it plainly, what kind of mindful city is this? This is secondly, the important thing is that the people are building momentum for him, but he refutes lightly here, let alone half of the pretentiousness and smugness, which is even more rare.

Don't have big ambitions? This shows that there are big ambitions, but they are more cautious.

Lu Shi didn't expect that Zhao Zi had already changed his opinion and understanding of Lu Shi in the blink of an eye, and it was developing in a good direction.

Looking at the vibrant world outside, Lu Shi couldn't be happy, and sighed: "It's just that this good rain, what can really play a role, I'm afraid that only our five counties in Weinan have fled, and other places have been abandoned and fled, even if it rains, it is difficult to find supplementary cultivators, and it is a waste." ”

"But no matter what, it's a good rain, but I don't know how many people in this county have benefited." Zhao Zi asked lightly.

Lu Shi didn't mind, so he slowly said: "In mid-May and June, Yichuan collected a total of more than 57,000 displaced people, and distributed a total of 228,000 mu of land that was killed by Gao Yingxiang and had no owner, and persuaded the landlord to reduce rent and interest, so that the original tenants were enthusiastic, and recultivated 300,000 mu of land, of which there were tenants with a population of 41,100, and there was a shortage of manpower. If it doesn't rain again in autumn, without the assistance of windmills and other means, according to the minimum harvest, you can get 240,000 stone of grain, after deducting the rent paid to the local government and landlords, the homeless tenants can have more than 150,000 stone of surplus grain in their hands (most of which are landlords' rent), as well as the corresponding miscellaneous grains. And the guarantee of grain storage will definitely not starve to death. Looking at Zhao Zi's out-of-shape face, Lu Shi said softly: "Of course, this does not count the citizens, merchants, and gentry who live in the county, as well as their family servants. ”

Now, even Zhao Zi, who has always thought that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, not only did his face be distorted, and his whole body was already trembling like a leaf in the wind, and then he looked at the master, his mouth was open enough to reach into a fist, and his saliva was wet with a large piece of clothing on his chest.

In fact, according to the current officialdom, no one cares about how many people they have, how much land, and how much output they have, they only care about how much they can collect taxes and imperial grain, and what really masters these numbers is the county master in the county, and the master next to the county order.

Therefore, now the master of Yichuan knows best, in the past, the current situation of Yichuan, after years of destruction, and then swept away by Gao Yingxiang, it is not a withered erosion can be described, ten rooms and nine empty, that seems to refer to those big villages along the river, at the beginning, he and the proprietor calculated, in the whole Yichuan, the people who can farm the land, at most, are only thirty or forty thousand, and will definitely not exceed fifty thousand, just these fifty thousand, if it is next year, it will be fortunate to have 30,000 left.

Why, in just this short period of time, he Lu Shi was able to gather 100,000 people? By the end of the year, the private grain stock can reach more than 100,000 or 200,000 stones? Where is this still this poor county in northern Shaanxi, even the upper county in the Central Plains can't do it.

At this time, an idea suddenly popped up, if these stored grains were collected and handed in, wouldn't their own masters soar?

As soon as this thought came to his head, he was trembling and frightened back, and he was still wise, if he really wanted to do so, not only would the current good situation be in vain, but the life of his master and slave would already have a result.

The shock and contention in Zhao Zi's heart was not much smaller than his master, but he saw farther and recovered faster than his master, but after a moment, he returned to normal after taking a few breaths.

Lu Shi looked at it with a smile, and after seeing Zhao Zi return to normal, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, killing this ally who cooperated with him tacitly, he really felt a pity.

"This King Chuang is really capable, and the people of Yichuan are really blessed, and it is not in vain that I have worked hard." Zhao Zi shook the fan again and said sincerely.

Lu Shi couldn't answer, and thought about it: "Actually, everything has to rely on yourself, the mountains will fall, and everyone will run, where is the root of relying on yourself?" ”

"Subtle, subtle, indeed." Zhao Zi praised again and again, but said with a wry smile: "It's just that in this way, it will be bitter for the county honorable, seeing the scene here, don't expect Shangfeng to reduce money and grain, if you can't pay it, maybe Shangfeng will personally send someone to urge it." "This is true, some things can be closed, but there are some things that cannot be closed no matter what, such as the imperial grain tax.

Seeing this way, don't say it yourself, even Yanchuan on the side will definitely be demolished and reported, and at that time, this piece of peace and peace will come to an end. "It's a pity for the people." Zhao Zi couldn't help but look gloomy, and his heart was heavy.

Lu Shi said with a smile: "If Yichuan Ferry plays well, there are actually many things that will be solved." ”

was said to be the ferry, Zhao Zi no longer concealed it, in fact, everyone is open and honest, so if he wants to hide it, then he will be suspected of hiding evil intentions, especially if he still has ideas in the future. Especially, listening to the master's report, even if he wants to hide it, in the eyes of the pervasive Zhao Xing, there is no secret, it is better to be open and honest now, but he can't evil this Lu Shi now. So he glanced at the master.

The master also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he sorted out his robes, thought about the accounts, and began to report in front of Lu Shi and Zhao Xing.
