Chapter 99 Sleep Peacefully
(There is something wrong today, the update is late, forgive me.) )
It was already dusk, and the camp under Lu Ren's jurisdiction was full of noise, almost everyone was celebrating each other's harvest this year, and at this moment, the thick aroma of rice was wafting everywhere in the camp...... Lu Ren gave an order, and everyone just opened their stomachs to death in the past three days, and the food that everyone ate during these three days was not included in the rent. To put it simply, the grain eaten during these three days is divided separately, and the rest of the grain is divided into four or six after three days. The fourth one is kept for himself, and the sixth one is very helpless to hand it over to Xun Yu.
Lu Ren was also angry that Xun Yu's hands were black, so he used this method to return to the book a little. However, as Lu Ren expected, the people did not have any opinion on such a distribution. Because according to historical records, when Cao Cao implemented the tuntian system after welcoming the emperor, the land rent collected was four to fifty percent or more. In that war-torn era, the people could have a relatively stable living environment and have enough to eat, and they were basically very content.
In such an environment, of course, Lu Ren's situation here will be similar. What's more, the rice yield here in Luren is far beyond everyone's imagination, and under the yield of nearly double, even if the tun people only leave four percent of the amount, it is very sufficient. Of course, compared with the general fifteen or even thirty taxes in the Han Dynasty, it will still be much less, but the problem is that the situation is only a matter of the most clear era of the two Han Dynasty, and after the political chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it is a question whether the people themselves can leave one-fifteenth. Now that they can get the income equivalent to eighty percent of the original farming, the residents are very content, at least they can eat enough in the next year, and they don't have to go hungry anymore.
Although there was jubilation in the camp, Li Dian was looking for Lu Ren everywhere. Finally, Li Dian finally saw the back of Wan'er kneeling in a secluded place, so he hurriedly stepped forward and called, "Miss Wan'er......"
Wan'er hurriedly turned her head, and her fingers made a silent gesture to her lips. Li Dian was slightly stunned and looked at it again, only to realize that Lu Ren was sleeping on Wan'er's lap at the moment, and there was a little relief and relief on his sleeping face.
Li Dian approached slightly, pointed at Lu Ren, and then handed Wan'er an inquiring look. Wan'er first bit her lip, and then whispered to Li Dian: "The Lord is too tired, let him sleep well." ”
Indeed, Lu Ren is really tired after more than half a year. Not only is his body tired, but his heart is even more tired. You must know that he is not a top student of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and he has no practical experience, so he has always been reading from the book and talking on paper, and he is completely crossing the river by feeling the stones. And Lu Ren himself knows this very well, so he has always been doing things carefully, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.
Now that the rice planted on trial has been successfully harvested, Lu Ren's heart is certainly relaxed, but at the same time, the belief that supports him is also relaxed. Many times people rely on a belief, or a breath to support themselves, and Lu Ren is no exception. Now as soon as Lu Ren's breath relaxed, the whole person felt more tired than ever, so he avoided the harvest celebration in the camp and hid in this secluded place to sleep. And at this time, only Wan'er will still be by Lu Ren's side.
Li Dian looked at Lu Ren's sleeping face, and couldn't bear to wake up Lu Ren at this time. Besides, it didn't matter that he came to find Lu Ren, but he just felt that on such a celebratory occasion, it seemed a little unreasonable that Lu Ren was not present, so he was in a hurry to find Lu Ren. Seeing Lu Ren like this now, Li Dian nodded to Wan'er and left quietly. And when someone asked Li Dian about Lu Ren, Li Dian's answer was one sentence: "Captain Lu is too tired, let him take a good rest." ”
These people are simple and kind, or the peasants since ancient times are simple and kind, at least the vast majority of people. In the past half a year, they have seen all the things that Lu Ren has done. Of course, at the beginning, many people did not understand some of Lu Ren's ways of doing things, but now Lu Ren has convinced them with the fact of a bumper harvest, so the people of the tun have a sense of gratitude to Lu Ren. Now hearing Li Dian say this, the people spontaneously stayed as far away as possible from the place where Lu Ren was sleeping, and they didn't want to disturb Lu Ren's sleep at the moment. In addition, there were some people who quietly guarded Lu Ren's surroundings, for fear that someone would make a noise to Lu Ren if they didn't know what they were doing.
Of course, Lu Ren didn't know this, he only knew that this sleep was the most stable and comfortable sleep he had slept in for most of the past six months, and he slept directly until the next day when it was dusk before he opened his eyes in a daze. And after opening his eyes, it took Lu Rendu a while to realize that he had actually slept outside the tent all night. Fortunately, in the late summer season, sleeping outside the tent will not freeze to death.
And the next moment, Lu Ren reacted that he had been pillowing on Wan'er's lap all the time, which meant that Wan'er had always maintained a kneeling posture that could make Lu Ren's pillow very comfortable. And people can't sleep if they want to keep kneeling and sitting all the time, so what caught Lu Ren's eyes was Wan'er's tired face because she hadn't slept all night, and her eyes were already bloodshot.
Seeing Lu Ren wake up at this moment, Wan'er smiled reluctantly under exhaustion: "Lord, are you ......awake?"
Lu Ren sighed lightly, sat up with a grunt, stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of Wan'er's nose: "You girl is really stupid." ”
Wan'er lowered her head: "The Lord sleeps so peacefully, Wan'er doesn't want to wake up the Lord." ”
Lu Ren shook his head, he really couldn't bear to say anything more about Wan'er. Looking up at the already faint sky, Lu Ren stood up: "Okay, let's talk less nonsense." You haven't slept all night, now go back and make up for some sleep. ”
Wan'er rubbed her eyes: "Wan'er hasn't prepared a meal for the lord yet......"
Lu Ren said dumbly: "Now that the harvest is big, are you still afraid that I won't be able to find a place to eat in the camp?" As you are now, I'm really afraid that you'll burn the rice. Obedient, good! Let's go back and get a good night's sleep. ”
Wan'er responded in a low voice and was about to stand up, but as soon as she stood up a little, the whole person lost her balance and fell to the side. After sitting on her knees for a whole night, and with her thighs pressed against Lu Ren's head, Wan'er's legs were already numb to the point of almost being unconscious.
And if a person sits like this for a long time, and suddenly stands up, he will often be dizzy because of the upsurge of qi and blood, and the more people with poor qi and blood, the more they will be like this, and Wan'er has some anemia, and this situation is more serious...... However, it seems that because of women's physiological reasons, most women will have anemia.
As soon as Wan'er's body was crooked, Lu Ren reacted, and quickly stretched out his arm to hug Wan'er, so Wan'er did not fall to the ground. And in the next second, Lu Ren hugged Wan'er horizontally, and Wan'er was so shocked that she exclaimed softly: "Lord, lord, let Wan'er come down, Wan'er will go by herself......"
Lu Ren made a face: "What? Won't you let me hug it? ”
Wan'er hurriedly said, "No, it's not...... This is outside, and the Lord will be criticized when he is seen like this. ”
Lu Ren said: "I'm afraid of a wool!" I have neither been a traitor nor have done anything wrong, so what is there to criticize? Great means being said to be a wandering wreck, but I'm really not afraid of being told this by others. Besides, you are my personal maid, even if it is to warm my bed, it is common sense, what is there to say...... I haven't asked you to sleep for me yet. Okay, don't make a fuss, you'll fall if you move. ”
Wan'er blinked, didn't dare to say anything more, just folded her arms in front of her chest, buried her head in her arms, and stopped moving like a well-behaved kitten.
Fortunately, it was only dawn at this time, and the people in the camp had basically not gotten up yet, and only a few guards who were patrolling the night were fighting hard to survive this last shift. Occasionally, someone saw Lu Ren, and Lu Ren nodded to them with a calm face, and just passed by with Wan'er in his arms, and no one felt that there was anything wrong.
However, when he was about to send Wan'er back to the partial tent, Lu Ren tilted his head and said to Wan'er, "Wan'er, it's time for you to take a bath." The smell of sweat on my body is so heavy! ”
“…… Wan'er got it. ”
Not to mention that Wan'er fell asleep in the tent, it was only said that Lu Ren slept very peacefully, and then was blown by the breeze of the dawn, and only felt refreshed, and immediately took a walk in the camp while doing morning exercises. A little later, the people in the camp gradually got up and left the tent, and when they met Lu Ren, they all greeted Lu Ren very respectfully.
Not long after, Lu Ren found Li Dian, and after chatting a few words, Lu Ren looked at Han Hao's camp on the other side of the river, and his brows furrowed slightly: "After the rice harvest is completed in a few days, we will pull out part of the grain and grass we have left for the time being, and temporarily lend it to Han Yuanhei's side for an emergency." ”
Li Dian nodded and said, "Brother Lu is right. They are in the same situation as we were before, and now they are almost out of food. Now I lend them food for emergencies, not only can I sell my favor to Han Duwei, but also prevent them from causing trouble due to lack of food, which will affect us here. ”
Lu Ren said: "I slept in a daze yesterday, and I didn't explain some things to you. When you look back, you will tell you that you will suffer again in the past few days, and you should hurry up and harvest all the rice in the field. And when harvesting, remember to ask everyone to harvest the straw and chaff, and it will be useful to turn around. ”
Li Dianqi said: "Are straw and grain bran still useful? ”
Lu Ren smiled: "It's very useful!" Straw and chaff are good forage for cattle and horses, of course, there are not many cattle and horses in our camp, so this can be ignored. But isn't it good to store all these straws now, and use them for everyone to cook and warm up in the winter? But most importantly, I need these straws to restore the soil and fire the stones. I have lived in a broken tent for more than half a year, and I should build some decent houses for everyone while the weather is still cold, so that everyone will not be frozen again this winter. ”
