Chapter 302: Hometown Fun

"Lang Jun, villain." Liuying bit her lip and said, delicate and angry, bright and moving.

"Mistakes, definitely mistakes." Han Rui smiled embarrassedly, reluctantly let go of the softness in his palm, and hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?" ”

Although she knew that Han Rui was diverting her gaze, Liu Ying still said: "Spring ploughing, the lady is going to go to the countryside to see the situation of the tenant farmers, but Lang Jun rarely rests, so he is not ready to tell you." ”

"Then you also said that the little girl is used to chewing her tongue, but she can't hide her thoughts." Zheng Naoyu complained.

Liuying ate and chuckled, hid behind Han Rui, stretched out a pair of thin white and tender hands, kneaded and pressed lightly, and said flatteringly: "Lang Jun, the spring festival is hard, whether you are tired or not, don't go if you don't know, stay at home and rest." ”

"It's okay, go to bed early tonight, recuperate, and go with you tomorrow." Han Rui said with a smile, speaking of which, the Qujiang banquet is not counted, it has been several months, I have not set foot in the suburbs, I have gone out to collect the wind, it has already reached the twilight of spring, and if you don't seize the opportunity and enjoy the beautiful scenery of spring, summer is coming.

Now that Han Rui has made a decision, Zheng Nao asked them not to object, and the next morning, they took the carriage and went straight to the suburbs.

Outside Chang'an City, 800 miles of Qinchuan, from Baoji in the west, to Tongguan in the east, Qinling in the south, and north to the north of the Weihe River, forming a basin, through the Jingwei Luoshui alluvial into a plain, the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, the irrigation is convenient, the transportation is convenient, and there are mountains and rivers around the danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so from the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it has been the first choice of the capital of the dynasty.

Eight rivers converge, fertile fields for thousands of miles, can be described as a place of ointment, standing on a high place to look out, a piece of fields are undulating, continuous, vast and can not see the edge, such a scene, in the later generations have been rare, but in the agricultural society, it is very common, as long as it is a place where the people live, there will be no lack of fiber and Mo connected situation.

After thousands of years of slash-and-burn farming, reclaiming the wilderness, around Chang'an City, in addition to the steep mountains and forests, as long as the land that can be used has been occupied by the princes and nobles, the common people, naturally there is no wilderness and idle fields, as long as you go out of Chang'an City, look at it at will, and see the busy back of the farmer.

Wielding a knife to cut grass, drawing water to water the ground, driving oxen to plow the fields, hard work, sweating like rain...... Sitting in the comfortable incense cart and opening the embroidered curtain, Han Rui didn't have time to enjoy the bright spring light in the suburbs, nor did he have the heart to listen to the brisk chirping of larks and birds in the lush mountains and forests.

Peasants, the court attaches great importance to it, but it is the most easily ignored group, the huge Tang Empire, is supported by them, and the monarchs and ministers of the court have fully learned the lessons of the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and do not dare to toss easily, so that they can live a few years of stability, but it will be difficult to say in the future.

After all, the pain is forgotten, it has always been the inferior root of human beings, and it has almost become a law, for thousands of years, it has always repeated the cycle, and there is no time to jump out of the strange circle, Han Rui is naturally very helpless about this, but there is no way to do it, he can only hope that the next emperor will also be as sympathetic to the peasants and cherish the people's power as Li Shimin.

No matter what the purpose is, whether it is to maintain the foundation of its own rule, or to kill it after fattening, at least it can let the ordinary people live, after all, it is in the era of feudal dynasty, one person prospers the country, and one person destroys the country.

This era is like this, if you don't exploit others, just wait for others to exploit yourself, Han Rui is not a saint, even if he was moved by compassion, he didn't think about it, take out all his family property and help the poor people in the world, besides, even if he does this, he will definitely not get praise from everyone, but suspect that he has ill intentions and intends to rebel, I am afraid that at that time, let alone Yu Shinan, even if Li Chengqian came, he would not be able to save his own life.

Han Rui sighed lightly and shook his head secretly, no wonder the development of philanthropy in later generations was slow, after all, it was a legacy of thousands of years, and it was not so easy to eliminate.

"Lang Jun, it's here."

Under the reminder of the beautiful voice, Han Rui's thoughts returned, jumped out of the car, stretched out his hand to help Zheng Nao and asked them to come down, only then did he look back, there was a small village in front of him, very typical, mud bricks and grass roofs, fence yards, in front of and behind every house, planted with mulberries, peaches and plums and other trees, with thick branches, towering and long, dense leaves, almost obscuring the sky, shrouding the small village.

Now the spring is bright, the wind is beautiful, the sun is shining, you will only feel comfortable, come here, but feel that the shade of the trees is an eyesore, but if in the middle of summer, the scorching heat, this small village shrouded in the shade of the leafy trees, is simply a summer resort.

Seeing a stranger in front of the village, the sound of chickens and dogs gradually spread, the men in the village should have gone out to farm, and the young women also went to help, only some old people and children stayed behind, hearing the movement, the children couldn't bear the surname, and they probed their brains out to watch, and saw the fragrant car BMW, Han Rui and others in brocade clothes, innocent eyes, revealing curiosity.

"Big Mao, Second Mao, Little Mao......" Liuying's voice was sweet, and she called out with a friendly attitude.

Subconsciously, Han Rui naturally thought that Liu Ying was calling which child, after all, in the countryside, children's names are strange, no one seriously investigates how cheesy they are.

But I didn't think about it, just listened to a few whines, in the corner of the village, suddenly there were three puppies on the road, not a precious breed, just an ordinary country dog, it seems that it was not long ago, the hair on the body has not yet grown, pink and tender, quite cute.

seemed to recognize Liuying, and the three puppies ran up, stretching out their little tongues, turning in circles on her slender feet, arching and licking slightly, making Liuyingjiao smile again and again, delicate as flowers.

Seeing Han Rui's doubts, Zheng Nao Yourou explained: "I came here a few times ago, it seems to be a kind of fate, a few puppies like Liuying, and when they see her coming, they are always obsessed. ”

"Since that's the case, then bring it back......" Han Rui said with a smile, anyway, the house is spacious, and it is more than enough to raise a few people, not to mention a few puppies.

"Don't." It was Liuying who objected, only to see that her pretty little face seemed to be a little nervous, and she came to Han Rui skillfully, pulled his sleeve, shook his head like a drum, and said in a greasy voice: "Lang Jun, don't, the little dog is very annoying, barking every day, and the noise makes the house unpeaceful." ”

Han Rui was stunned, what's going on, didn't you have a lot of fun with the puppy just now, how did it change in a blink of an eye.

pursed his lips and chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, Firefly is like this, she likes puppies, birds, and fish, but she is not happy to let her feed them." ”

"It's almost the same as Ye Gong's good dragon." Zheng Naoyue said, smiling brightly.

Liu Ying was embarrassed, twisted and rubbed the corners of her clothes, and said shyly: "People are just ......"

"Lazy!" Zheng Naoyue and the painting screen said in unison.

"It's not a mile." Liuyi stomped his feet, not reluctant.

Just when a few people were joking, a few old people came to the village, their bodies were quite tough, there was no cane, but they were quite as fast as the wind, this year, respecting the old and loving the young, it was definitely not empty words, seeing them coming, Han Rui and the others didn't care about laughing, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Lady, Liuying girl, painting screen girl......" A few old people didn't mean to rely on the old and sell the old, they greeted Han Rui politely, but they hesitated a little, they hadn't seen it, could it be ...... cough, all of a sudden, Han Rui felt that he was really a failure, as the head of the family, the tenant farmer and tenant didn't know him, and he couldn't say anything anyway.

Liu Ying hurriedly introduced: "Seventh Master, Ninth Master...... This is Lang Jun. ”

"It turned out that my uncle was here." A few old people were very pleased.

Although Han Rui's expression was as usual, Zheng Naoyue couldn't help frowning slightly, with a bit of solemnity, and said softly: "Don't call me uncle in the future, just call Langjun." ”

Several old people looked at each other, they ate a lot of salt, and naturally understood the truth of being good as flowing, and immediately smiled and changed their words, and enthusiastically led the way in front of them, and led them to the village.

"Actually, it's good to call anything, there's no need to care." The two walked hand in hand, and Han Rui smiled: "Whether it's my uncle or Lang Jun, they're all calling me anyway." ”

"How can you do that, if you don't have the right name, if you don't say it well, it's easy to make people laugh." Zheng Naoyue said softly.

Han Rui smiled helplessly, no longer dwelling on this matter, and instead asked, "The fields at home are all nearby?" ”

"Hmm." Zheng Naoyue nodded slightly, pointed slightly, and said with a smile: "It's in the center of the three villages, and when we go up the mountain, we can see it at a glance." ”

"The people of the three villages are all tenants?" Han Rui asked curiously.

"Some are, some are not......"

With Zheng Naoyue's explanation, Han Rui had to sigh again, Zheng Renji really loves his daughter, such a fertile 3,000 acres of fertile land, without blinking an eye, he gave it away directly, it is worthy of being a big family, and the heritage accumulated over hundreds of years is not comparable to ordinary nouveau rich.

Naturally, Han Rui also knew that the foundation of the Zheng family was not in the capital, but in Xingyang, I heard that there, the fields of the entire state and county belonged to the private property of the Zheng family, and it was often tens of thousands of hectares, and only thirty hectares of land was nothing.

When I arrived in the village, under the shade of the tree in front of the ancestral hall, a few children set up a mat, and sent away a few old people, a few polite words, everyone sat down, Han Rui smiled and said: "Seventh master, eighth master, how is the spring plowing situation in the village, is there any difficulty that needs help." ”

In ancient times, except for a few extremely hateful, regardless of the reputation of the local tyrants, most of the landlords, the attitude towards the tenants, not as bad as imagined, after all, the tenants actively work, their own harvest of benefits, such a simple truth, which does not understand, especially when it comes to the spring ploughing moment, but also do their best to help the tenants solve their worries, so that they can farm with peace of mind.

"No, no......" A few old men shook their heads and said with a smile: "Originally, there was still a shortage of a few ploughing oxen, but the officials from the city said, let's not worry, plough the land first, and they will make unified arrangements in two days." ”

Han Rui nodded with a smile, understood some of the situation, and said goodbye to Zheng Nao, and continued to visit the other two villages, followed by climbing the mountain and looking far away.
