Chapter 4 They are all wise people

After listening to Huang Hetou's introduction, the various forces of the Vimo Ministry, and the region, as well as the area where the Eighteen Villages are located, Luo Yi can be regarded as a real understanding of what is called chaos, he has already thought of the Vimo Department in this period is very chaotic, but now he knows that the situation is even worse than he thought.

To the west of Vimo is the Baini town where the Dali envoy Gao Xinlun is located, where the people live are basically the Bai people of Dali, and it is also the closest to the most Ning town in the east of Dali.

To the northwest is the officially recognized Li Peng faction of the Vimo Ministry of Dali, which is a force headed by the Yi people.

To the north is the power of Meng Yi, another Yi tribe other than the Li Peng tribe, which arrived in Vimo a hundred years later than the Li Peng tribe.

To the northeast is the Han Chinese-led Wang Lin faction, which is also the richest area of Vimo.

To the east is the Baoyan force headed by the Jing Barbarians, to the south is the Luge force led by the Bunu tribe, and in the southwest is the weakest Luoxiong force of the Eighteen Villages, which is also a force headed by the Su clan.

The small Vimo Department, so many forces are intertwined, if it is not chaotic, Luo Yi feels a little strange, as for the many races, Luo Yi thinks it is normal, in the Qiu City of the later generations, there are more than ten ethnic groups in a county, and Vimo is now only seven or eight.

Luo Yi is most worried about the problem of the strength of the Eighteen Villages, the total population is only more than 5,000 people, and the old man Huang He has drawn out more than 1,000 people to join the army, it is conceivable that this is already the limit of the limit, if it is pumped again, it is likely that there will be problems with production.

Although there are more than 1,000 soldiers, this kind of soldier who is recruited from five draws, thinking about his combat effectiveness with his toes, knows that it must be bad, and Luo Yi has never heard of such a recruitment.

However, these are far from enough, and no one knows whether the enemy is only Li Peng's department, and there may be more, even if Li Peng's department is not comparable to the eighteen villages, there are many families, more food, and more money, and now there are a large number of iron, and there are also cavalry.

Li Peng's war horses were all bought from the greedy Dali envoy, Luo Yi was a native of Qiucheng, and in later generations Qiucheng had not even seen a few horses, let alone war horses, although these war horses were eliminated by the Dali cavalry, but this is a real war horse, not necessarily a thousand miles a day, and a hundred miles is definitely more than enough.

Luo Xiong and Luo Yi went home together, and looked at Luo Yi sighing along the way, he couldn't stand it, and said angrily: "What, I'm afraid!" Can't the academy be opened? Li Wenjie said that Mr. Huang didn't have time, so he could come over. ”

"Open! And it has to be fast, time is running out now, the autumn harvest will be in two months, and Mr. Huang and I both feel that if Li Peng wants to completely control the Vimo Ministry, it will definitely be carried out after the autumn harvest.

Now Li Peng is busy building weapons, and they can't afford to delay the autumn harvest, Dali will not pay tribute because he wants to unify the Vimo Department, so the time left for us is two months. ”

Luo Xiong laughed and said, "It is worthy of my Luo Xiong's son, and he really wasn't scared." ”

Luo Yi was speechless, am I your son, I know better than you, if you don't think about your own life, who has the kung fu to worry about you, for the sake of you saving me and treating me well, I will do more for you first.

After slandering in his heart, Luo Yi said: "Daddy, in fact, I don't trust Huang He, don't be angry first, listen to me."

According to my understanding, the Great Song Kingdom is better than the Dali Kingdom, not to mention the Vimo Department, so it is very likely that Huang He committed a crime in the Great Song Dynasty, or offended the powerful, Daddy, you may not know, in the Great Song Dynasty, there is Xing is not a scholar, I don't know, Huang He is not a scholar or not, but it should be about the same.

That is to say, he actually has a lot of places to go, such as Lingnan, Fuzhou, Jiaozhou, and Guizhou in the Great Song Dynasty, these places are the worst in the Great Song Dynasty, but they are better than Dali, and most of the money in the Great Song Kingdom comes from these places, so I wonder if Huang He has offended the powerful or has some purpose.

But fortunately, at this time, no matter what the purpose, he will also help Daddy well, but the army, the child still wants you to control more, or let the person you absolutely trust go. ”

Luo Xiong has a new understanding of his son today, this kid is not small, he always likes to think about everything, everyone thinks about the worst results, this is not good! Who else can be trusted after that.

Luo Xiong said angrily: "I trust you now, will you go?" ”

Luo Yi had to say in a low voice: "I originally wanted to go, but I was afraid that they wouldn't listen to me." ”

"Whew! Do you really dare to think, eight-year-old boy, who will listen to you, if you want to open a academy, you can open it well, Mr. Huang is also my benefactor, be polite to him in the future, don't be a yellow crane in one mouthful, you know? ”

"Oh!"

The father and son stopped and stopped, and finally arrived at home, during which Luo Yi made a small request, whether he could train the child between the ages of twelve and fourteen for himself, the excuse was to protect himself and Ah Guo, and the final result was that he was trained by Luo Xiong for a while.

Luo Xiong thought that Huang He recruited people to join the army, at least they were over fifteen years old, thinking about Luo Yi's performance today, and also felt that this kid seemed to really understand some military affairs, so he had to reluctantly agree.

Ah Guo has already made dinner, whether it is delicious or not Luo Yi doesn't know, because his mind is not on eating at all, but seeing Lu Kui's happy expression, the taste should not be bad, Luo Xiong's father and son have not eaten much of him alone, I don't know if this guy is too hungry, or if Ah Guo's dishes are too delicious, this is the rhythm of the real half-sized son eating Lao Tzu.

After taking a simple bath, Luo Yi fell asleep, and now he has always felt that life is very unreal, so he always wants to find a lot of things to do, only in this way can he forget everything.

It's good now, there are a lot of things to do, and you can do it every day to make yourself very tired, only then will you not be in your dreams, struggling with the unreal and the real.

The true and the false sometimes make it unclear, I have been growing taller during this time, as for why I have shrunk, it is estimated that only God knows why.

I'm so tired, I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, as long as I think about a lot of things to do, I won't have some things in my head that I can't figure out.

In the south of Alubai Village, there is a good flat land here, and the site of Luo Yi's academy is here, although the terrain is flat, but this is a small forest, and now these trees will all be cut down.

Wild notoginseng in the woods, Luo Yi was reluctant to dig it up as a weed at will, and the villagers who came to help build the academy were all digging notoginseng, the notoginseng flowers had failed, and the notoginseng seeds had been yellow, but now there was no time to wait for it to turn red and mature, it seemed that if you want to plant notoginseng in the coming year, you can only get mature notoginseng seeds from other places.

The harvest is good, there are two big bamboo baskets, and the people who come to work don't understand, Luo Yi wants this, in their opinion, they can only do what to do with gold sore medicine weeds, and there are not so many gold sore medicines.

Luo Yi ordered everyone to cut down the tree, called the two of them to carry baskets on their backs, and walked home, more than 60 people came, and the work arranged was enough for them to do today, and they were not comfortable in them, after all, a child commanded this group of old men in their forties to work, and they were not comfortable with anyone.

The patriarch's grandfather arranged for four female slaves to come to the house to learn to make leather shoes, and now Luo Yi has no time to teach them to make shoes, how important Sanqi is, and his own source of money in the future, but it is good for people to come, one person washes Sanqi in a wooden basin, if they don't come, he and Ah Guo will have to work for a long time to finish.

Luo Yi now knows why the buildings in later generations are all made of south and north, and the mother turned out to have enough light, and finally understood that Alubai's pattern of facing east and west, what's wrong, Sanqi is cleaned, but how to dry it?

I knew that I didn't want to carry Sanqi back, and now I have to carry it back, just now I don't want to carry it myself, the two uncles seem to be very easy to carry, and now it's clean, the four female slaves and themselves, divided into four parts, and they are so load-bearing.

Lu Kui said with a smile: "Young Commander, why did you carry it back again." ”

"Damn, don't mention it, I'm stupid, I forgot why there is not enough sunlight in our village, now you find a few people, I want to build a baking house."

"Baking room, what's it for?"

Luo Yi looked at Lu Kui with disdain and said: "The baking room, the baking room, of course, is used to bake things, look at where you are, build it there, find ten of them, and it will be built today." ”

Lu Kui, who was despised, was not angry, and ran to find someone with a smile, the area of the baking room should not be too big, dig the foundation first, and flatten the foundation wall, four wooden boards and eight wooden sticks can be made to make a wall formwork, and the height of the six boards should be about the same.

The walls at all ends are two boards wide at one end, which means that a total of forty-eight boards must be rushed, alas! Ten people built it today, it's not easy! After the foundation of the wall is leveled, four people rush the wall, three people go to mow the grass, two people go to the soil, one person picks up branches to fill, and also burns the fire pit, ring the fire ring, and exhausts the smoke outlet......

Lu Kui, who came over with people, looked at Luo Yi scribbling on the ground with a branch, and said suspiciously: "Young Commander, what are you doing?" I've got you the people you want. ”

"I'm calculating whether ten people can finish it, but it seems to be a bit difficult, it's not a big place here, and it's useless if there are too many people."

Looking at the place where Luo Yi circled out, Lu Kui said with a smile: "No, such a small piece, ten people can't finish it, and there are only more than fifty people in a large area of the grove over there." ”

Luo Yi didn't have time to pay attention to this stupid guy who only looked at the size, so he ordered people to start working, and only after the command did he say to Lu Kui: "Plus you and me, let's go and move the tiles with me." ”

"Didn't you say you were going to build a thatched house?"

"Who told you that I was going to use tiles to build the roof, and I was going to use it to encircle the dragon, you don't understand it, let's go! After moving the tiles, you have to mix with the mud. ”

Lu Kui complained: "If I knew that I wouldn't have come over to see the excitement, my father, he wouldn't ask me to do so much work for a day." ”

Luo Yi is still a little embarrassed, his father is his father's fierce general, and he was the first to fight with his father, Lu Kui is now idle but his father earned it with a hunting bow.

Luo Yi smiled and said: "Okay, I'll cook for you what you want to eat at night, and besides, I have to work too, although I have little strength, I don't do as much work as you." ”

"Okay, for the sake of this meal in the evening, I'll do it, but I still think that in the future, stay away from you and eat a meal at your house, and you can treat me as a cow for a day."

"Haha! Brother Lu Kui, it's not so exaggerated! ”

"Yes, absolutely..."

This guy looks dumbfounded, he is not stupid at all, Luo Yi thinks that this guy is fake when he comes to see the excitement, and he wants to get close to him, but he doesn't know if his father Lu Di is paying attention, or his.

There are not many idle bricks and tiles in the village, it is enough to surround a ground dragon, the four old men are fighting on the foundation of the wall, and they are washing the soil with a wall stick, and only by making the soil in the template firm, it is good to continue to increase the height.

No matter how many things there are, eating can never be delayed, as the saying goes, "people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic."

The people who came to work were all villagers from Alubai Village, and they didn't have to pay for their salaries, and they also had daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law to send them, but as the initiator of this time, Luo Yi still asked Ah Guo to make a few pots of broth.

The villagers of Alubai Village, since they and Luo Xionghun have lived, their lives have improved, and they can eat enough rice, but if they want to eat meat, they rely entirely on hunting.

Hunting is a technical job, there is skill and good luck, this thing is similar to playing mahjong, no matter how good the technology is, the cards are too bad, the same can not be pasted.

Luo Yi, as the son of the big landlord Luo Xiong, was the first to distribute good things such as meat and salt, so the Luo family did not lack these things.

"You say, the female slave is not from our eighteen villages."

Luo Yi didn't understand a little, he saw six female slaves at the grandfather's house, and later saw a few at the house of his sons, and now Lu Kui said that those female slaves were not people from the eighteen villages led by Daddy.

Lu Kui said with a smile: "Of course not, there are only a few people in our eighteen villages, and someone wanted to accept some people from the eighteen villages as slaves, but they were stopped by the commander and Mr. Huang He."

The general said that the leader of the servants who had enslaved us had been killed, and what was wrong with the remaining servants, and Mr. Huang He also said that it was the best policy to govern by enslaving his own people. ”

Luo Yi was surprised, Daddy may think very purely, everyone is suffering, there is no need for that, how can Huang He have such a high level of knowledge, although the Great Song Dynasty is a completely feudal country, and it is still in the heyday of the feudal system, but it is still commonplace to get a few slaves.

Luo Yi guessed that maybe the Yellow Crane was because the population of the Eighteen Villages was too small, and if it was enslaving a large number of people and stirring up a civil uprising, without others to fight it, the Eighteen Villages Alliance would be finished, it must be like this.

made the final conclusion to Huang He, Luo Yi pulled up Lu Kui and continued to tinker with the earth dragon, the tiles were carried on every passage through the fire line, and the stirred mud was pasted around the tiles, and it must be ensured that after the construction was completed, there could only be high temperature in the baking room, and no flames could come out, so you have to be careful in this work.

kept telling Lu Kui to be careful not to step on the tiles on the fire trough, but Lu Kui didn't step on it, but he stepped on it, the tiles were connected, and if a whole fire trough was broken, he had to start over again.

Lu Kui gloated and said, "Alas! I just laid it out, you know so many things, I heard that I learned from your master, cooking, literacy, the art of war, your master is really good. ”

Seeing that Lu Kui stretched out his eldest mother finger after speaking, Luo Yi said angrily: "Why don't you say that I am amazing." ”

"You are amazing, if I had such a master, I would not be better than you, hehe..."

Luo Yi knows that Lu Kui is now understanding his own character, knowing that he will not be angry about these little things, thinking about what he said is right, if he has the knowledge of future generations, he really does not necessarily have the wisdom of these ancients.

Ah Guo is very smart, as long as she has made the dishes, within three days, she will make no worse than what she has made, and now she has seen people who are really like this, Daddy, Huang He, Lu family father and son, and clan grandfather are all fucking smart people.
