Dong'an County, a rural area outside the city

Accompanied by the soothing sound of horses' hooves, Zhu Youzhen rode on the horse and looked left and right.

Looking at the green fields on the side of the road, Zhu Youzhen asked in surprise: "Mr. Xu, how long have you been here in Dong'an?" It seems that this is still a very impressive achievement! ”

"Your Highness, these don't dare to take credit for this." Xu Guangqi looked at the neat fields on the side of the road, the neat canals, and the occasional sweet potato seedlings in the fields, and his spirit was very uplifted.

"Your Highness, although Zixian has been to Dong'an twice, he has not stayed for a long time each time, and the longest is the first year of the Apocalypse. Even that time, Zixian only stayed for about half a year.

To be honest, Zixian didn't expect this place to be so good now.

Zixian remembered that when he first came to Dong'an, there was only Huang Xiucai's family in the entire Dong'an, who was willing to accept Zixian's guidance. This is because Huang Xiucai once read with me for a few days.

Therefore, Zixian only made a little planning in the Huang family's dozens of acres of land.

I remember that it wasn't until Zixian left that the surrounding farmers saw that the Huang family's planting had taken effect, and a few more were willing to try it. I didn't expect it, but now ......"

Xu Guangqi looked at the fields beside the road, his mouth was very emotional, but his spirit was obviously very uplifted.

"Yo ho, it looks like this Huang Xiucai's ability is good!" Zhu Youzhen looked at the neat regulations of the fields on the side of the road and shouted excitedly.

"Where did Your Highness start with this?" Xu Guangqi asked half-playfully, he also wanted to hear what the king had to say.

"Sir, look," Zhu Youzhen said to Xu Guangqi, pointing to the fields beside the road, "these fields have very uniform ridges, and the canals between the fields are also very coherent. This shows that these fields must have been planned and built together.

Although Huang Xiucai has the template left by Mr., he can make so many households and so many places accept a unified plan and cultivate a unified style, and this person's talent can also be seen. ”

With such a field style, there is a bit of the taste of those farms in the memory of the previous life. Zhu Youzhen silently added in his heart.

Hearing King Xin's words of admiration, Xu Guangqi's face became gloomy.

Noticing that Xu Guangqi's face was wrong, Zhu Youzhen was a little inexplicable. Wasn't he complimenting Xu Lao's friend? Why is it still boasting wrong?

Chu Tianxing, who was in a position behind him, saw Zhu Youzhen's embarrassment, and he reported to Zhu Youzhen in a low voice: "Your Highness, that Huang Xiucai can't afford to repay the loan shark, and he even went out of the house, so he still has the ability to do this." ”

Hearing this, no matter how thick the skin was, Zhu Youzhen's face showed a trace of redness.

It's so embarrassing, why did he forget about this file.

Glancing at Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youzhen snorted.

"Haha, it's not far from the village, let's take two steps and go to the village first, shall we?" Zhu Youzhen shouted loudly in disguise, and took the lead in galloping towards the village.

King Xin is right, no matter what happened to Huang Xiucai's family, he had to go into the village to know. Xu Guangqi looked at King Xin's back, took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed his worries about his friend, let go of the reins and followed King Xin towards the village.

Dong'an County

In a large flower hall, a fat man sat up from a rocking chair and lowered the teacup in his hand to the low table.

"Second brother, I blame you. Isn't that a problem? What do you say? ”

"If we had taken the land according to my law, and we had forcibly taken the land, what would have happened to that poor sour? It doesn't matter if he lives or dies. That's a lot of cleanliness. Tell me, what are we doing in such a big circle? The fat man was visibly angry.

The one who was called the second by the fat man was also a fat man, but the tonnage was much smaller than him.

The second child opened the folding fan in his hand with a solemn face and quickly fanned it a few times.

"Big brother, what the poor sour said is also a showman, if we really force him to death, then the matter will be really troublesome."

He closed and opened the fan in his hand, repeated it a few times, and the second child asked, "Big brother, do you think it's time for us to stop?" ”

"Stop? Dick, you're crazy. Stop it now, then the ones we sent out will all be lost. In addition, even if we want to stop, can we do it? The fat man was furious when he heard the second child's suggestion to stop: "I think you're really going crazy." ”

"Coming here today, is it really Shaozhan Xu Guangqi?" The second child reminded the fat man in a low voice.

"What about Xu Guangqi? He was just a young Zhan Shi in the Zhan Mansion. When there are no heirs today, the Zhan Mansion is still empty. What's more, he's just a young Zhan thing who lives idle. He has something to be afraid of. The fat man roared loudly, and in the shouting he felt that he was very reasonable.

There is really nothing to be afraid of a young Zhan who lives with a crown and an idle belt.

"Wouldn't it be more troublesome to confront officials if they attract the attention of those who have a heart?" The second child muttered unconvinced, and the fan in his hand fanned faster.

Dong'an Village

Slowly entering the village, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help frowning.

This village is really too dilapidated, even more dilapidated than those imperial villages in the capital.

In Zhu Youzhen's eyes, the adobe houses in Huangzhuang were already the buildings in the most backward mountain villages in the previous life. The village in front of me is even more outrageous, and there are not many complete adobe houses in the village.

How to describe it?

Well, it should be like a disaster.

As soon as the spirit was excited, Zhu Youzhen tried his best to look into the distance from his horse.

Well, this village must have been hit by a disaster.

Seeing the miserable scene in the village, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but drive the horses lightly, and crossed the road in the village to Zhu Youzhen with difficulty.

While looking at the scene in the village, Xu Guangqi recalled the memories in his heart.

"Your Highness, please go this way." Xu Guangqi took the reins of the horse and walked in the direction he remembered.

Along the rugged path, a dilapidated thatched hut appeared in front of Zhu Youzhen's eyes.

Dilapidated, this is the first impression of the thatched hut in front of Zhu Youzhen.

The thatched hut in front of him looked quite large, even the roof was a little damaged, and the doors and windows were also broken. It doesn't look like a house that can be inhabited.

"Is anyone home?"

Xu Guangqi turned over and dismounted, knocked politely on the broken door that was about to topple, and asked loudly.

Will there be people living in such a house?

Contrary to Zhu Youzhen's expectations, a voice came from the dilapidated house: "Who are you looking for?" ”

The voice coming from the room was relatively low, and the person who spoke seemed to be a little out of breath.

"Is it Brother Huang Xingyu? Old man Xu Guangqi. Xu Guangqi asked tentatively.

"Is it Mr. Xu?"

Hearing Xu Guangqi report his name, the voice of the person in the room asking back, obviously revealed a sense of excitement.

"It's Xu," Xu Guangqi replied in the affirmative aloud.

"It's Brother Huang Xian in the house, can you go out and see it?" Xu Guangqi's voice was full of incomprehension.

I haven't seen it for a few years, how did the Huang family become like this.
