Chapter Eighty-Six: The Old Peasant

、、、、、、、

Fu Deming also did not rest at any time, Xiao Tianjian left the Lotus Village, he also immediately left the Lotus Village, and rushed to the front line of the field division, and there, dozens of his subordinates did not rest, measured out the fields, and then marked the mark, and distributed the fields to the people who were looking forward to it. ()

At the same time, they also have to continue to merge some villages, so that the common people can gather together, in this era, there are many people to do things, the same is true for farming, people can gather, not only can help each other, but also can make full use of the existing land, so that the utilization rate of land is improved, and it is more conducive to the reclamation after the beginning of spring, as soon as the reclamation is over, the water conservancy facilities such as canals here will be rebuilt.

At the beginning, some people were reluctant to move to a new village, but because of their desire for land, they finally agreed, and the family began to move.

The so-called moving of these ordinary people is really very simple, they don't have much property, they don't even have decent farm tools, bring only pots and pans, and a few tattered bedding, and carry it as a finished move, as for their house, Xing Tianjun also said, there is no need to pick it off, it is still used in the same place, and their new village, there are also people responsible for receiving them, first helping them build a shack, after arriving, settle down, and then help them build a house, so these people have nothing too nostalgic for.

They only thought that as long as they had their own land, life would always be better, and everyone was full of longing for the future, and at the same time they were full of gratitude to the people of the Xingtian Army.

Especially after the Xingtianjun came, he never bullied the weak, and later, although Feng Tiancheng planted the blame for the Xingtianjun, which made the people in this area have a misunderstanding of the Xingtianjun, but then the matter was soon clarified by the Xingtianjun, and the culprit was paraded in the streets, and Feng Tiancheng's gang of scourges was pulled out, and it didn't take long to sweep the local poles clean, forcing those who were causing trouble in the local area to either surrender to the Xingtianjun, or flee from this place like a lost dog, or simply be swept away by the Xingtianjun directly, so that this traumatized place and the people who have suffered from it, finally breathed a sigh of relief and lived a stable life, even if they are poor, it is much better than living in fear every day.

Moreover, Xingtianjun took the lead and really began to distribute the fields to them, and they finally felt that there was hope for this day.

Even if the people are hungry, they are willing to stay here and wait until the beginning of spring to plant grain in their fields, so that the local situation will be stable.

Xiao Tianjian walked while looking at the fields on both sides of the road, only a few of the fields here were planted with winter wheat, but most of them were still barren, from the place they passed, it can already be seen that some plots have been inserted and marked, obviously these lands have been allocated, only to be reclaimed in the spring, originally a lot of wasteland here is good land, just because of the drought in recent years, coupled with the continuous scourge of the officers and soldiers and bandits coming and going, so that the bad land is barren, Therefore, as long as the wasteland is reopened after the year, it will be some good land, and grain production will not be a problem.

Xiao Tianjian got off the horse, walked into a field, squatted down and looked at the soil here, he was not a farmer, so he was not very proficient in farming, but the iron head and many guards under his command were all farmers, and they knew a lot about this thing, and they flocked to the field to see the soil here.

"How? The soil in this field is okay! ”

Tietou pinched a handful of soil and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's basically okay, it's not too good, but compared to our family's previous fields, it's much better, these ten acres of land a year, if you only get one season of grain, it's no problem to feed at least two or three people, if you can get two seasons of grain a year, then it's good!" ”

At this time, I saw a good man walking slowly from a distance, constantly looking for something in the barren field, and he was followed by a little girl, who looked like two grandparents and grandchildren, who came out to find something to eat.

So Xiao Tianjian also got up and walked towards them, and when the old man saw Xiao Tianjian and his men, he looked very panicked, and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian, and also kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian according to the little granddaughter he carried.

Xiao Tianjian didn't think that their ancestors and grandchildren were dirty, he stretched out his hand to pick them up, and then glanced at Tietou, who immediately asked people to return to the war horses on the road, and took out a few cakes they ate on the road from the grain bags they carried, as well as a few small pieces of dried meat.

Xiao Tianjian stuffed a few cakes into the hands of the old man and the little girl, and said to them: "Don't be afraid of me, I am also a member of the Xingtian Army, and I will not harm you!" Hehe! Take these breads and eat them! We come out with a limited number of them, don't be too little! ”

Even though the old man almost cried, he quickly knelt down for Xiao Tianjian again, kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian and thanked him, holding these cakes, almost old tears, and quickly broke half of the cakes, gave them to the little girl, and let her eat a little bit, the little girl was like a little wolf, holding the cakes and gnawing them quickly, and from time to time she would look at Xiao Tianjian with her big eyes.

Xiao Tianjian pulled the old man to sit on the ground and asked the old man, "This old man, where are you from!" What is this out for? ”

The old man humbly squatted beside Xiao Tianjian, and replied cautiously: "If you go back to the good man, the little old man is the person from Wujiazhuang in front, this is not idle, take your granddaughter out, dig some grass roots and go back to eat!" Let the heroes meet, let you laugh! ”

Xiao Tianjian nodded, because few families can eat enough in this year, many families rely on digging wild vegetables or grass roots, or picking up some elm bark to go back, crush it into cakes or boil soup, and deal with the stomach, this kind of thing A year ago, Xiao Tianjian also did it, but when he was in Shaanxi, it was even worse than the people here, he couldn't even find the grassroots, almost stared and waited to starve to death, but he could still dig some grass roots here, not to the point of people eating people, otherwise, he would rely on him to punish the heavenly army, Even if you grab the land, I'm afraid you won't be able to feed so many people.

"So where did your family's strong labor go? How do you get the old and the young to come out and do this? Xiao Tianjian then asked the old man.

The old man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the words of the good man, I originally had four sons, two daughters, the year before last our second son was pulled by Zhao Datong here to be his minion, I heard that he died last year, I don't know how he died, the boss was sick, there was no money for treatment, and he died last year, only the third and fourth children remained, I didn't hear that the Shuangfeng Village was going to repair the wall, so I went to help the heroes of the Xingtian Army, they went to work there, so they could mix up and do it for a day, it was much better than starving at home!" It's not me left, with my grandchildren, living at home! Just come out and find some grassroots, or dig up some herbs to subsidize the family! ”

"Didn't the relief food distributed by the Xingtian Army last year be delivered to your house?" Xiao Tianjian frowned and asked.

"Sent, sent! The heroes of the Xingtian Army are all good people! Thirty catties of sorghum rice were sent to our family, otherwise, we would not have eaten in the first few days of the New Year! It's not food, it's not much! It's about to be a spring famine, we want to save some food, so we come out to dig grass roots, otherwise this spring, we have to go out to escape the famine, and this land will not be able to plant! The old man hurriedly replied again, with the kind of sincere gratitude on his face for the Xingtian Army.

Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "Yes!" I'm also a member of the Xingtian Army, and when I first came here, we had limited food! Otherwise, I can give you more! ”

"No, no, no! Now we are grateful to the heroes, you are the great masters of the Xingtian Army are good people! Knowing the suffering of our common people, he gave us food, and he was here to help us drive away those scourges, and now he has divided the fields and land for us, and we are content, where can we expect the good men to feed us all! You don't know! The people of our village are now giving you the tablet of longevity in the big boss, and I hope that you can stay here in the future and not leave, so we ordinary people can be considered blessed! The old man gradually relaxed, and his words became more and more clear.

Xiao Tianjian sighed again, he had been hungry and suffered, so he would understand the suffering of these ordinary people, and he also knew that the old man was telling the truth, and he did not flatter them to punish the Heavenly Army, and now is indeed the most bitter time for these ordinary people, it seems that he will have to find a way to help them in the future.

"Are there many villagers like you who have to come out to dig up grass roots?" Xiao Tianjian then asked.

"Alas! That's a lot! Almost every household has come out to do this, and no one has much food, otherwise, they won't be able to survive this spring! The old man was reluctant to eat those small pieces of jerky, so he carefully put them in his arms, and even those few cakes were carefully placed in his arms, and he must have given them to other grandchildren after he went back.

Xiao Tianjian waved his hand, and Tietou went to fetch a few more cakes, Xiao Tianjian handed them to the old man, and said to him: "Eat!" You eat a piece too, I see you're hungry too! ”

The old man thanked him for a while, and then carefully broke off the small half of the cake and ate it little by little.

"How old is the old man?" Xiao Tianjian asked the old man.

"Don't dare to be! I'm an old immortal, I'm sixty years old this year, and I'm still alive and ruining food! In our village, who live as old as me, it's just me and another old immortal two, and a year is a year! If I didn't have to take care of these little babies, I would have thought that I would just find a rope to hang myself, and I wouldn't drag the children down! The old man said with a sigh.

"So did the old man also farm all his life?" Xiao Tianjian was sad, but he still found a treasure, so he immediately asked the old man, as the saying goes, there is an old man, if there is a treasure, the experience accumulated by the old people in a lifetime is a valuable wealth, and from this old man, it is not good to understand a lot of local agricultural things, and it is good to prepare food for them in the next step.

When the old man heard this, he felt a sense of pride and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Yes! I started farming with the old man, and it has been at least 50 years now! ”

"That's a good idea! So the old man said to me, in our place, what kind of harvest should we have after the beginning of spring? Xiao Tianjian suddenly came to his senses.
