Originally, after the people here heard that there were bandits in the nearby mountains, many of them were so frightened that they immediately moved away, and the rest were a group of old and weak women and children, or people who were nostalgic for their homeland.
Originally, these people who stayed behind were terrified every day, for fear that these bandits would come to harass them, but more than a month passed, and the bandits did not come out to embarrass them, which made them feel a little incredible.
However, the day soon came, and it was said that the bandits had descended the mountain.
This can startle the people of Zhao Guojun, and they are all frightened.
In a village closest to Zhao State, some bandits swaggered over, and at the entrance of the village, an old man with a gray beard stood guard in front with several men, still holding sticks, shovels and other things in his hands.
"Haha, we're finally here," a thief led by a thief was overjoyed.
The people of the village were so frightened that they tightened their grip on the sticks in their hands.
"Hello, fellow," a thief led by a thief said very politely.
"What? Fellow? Hello yet? The old man at the head was stunned, originally in his mind, the bandits entered the village, and it wasn't burning, killing and looting? Why is this so polite today.
"Not good," the old man replied directly.
"What?" The bandits led by him suddenly became fierce.
Only then did the people in the village look like this.
"I tell you, I am the gentleman of this village, if you dare to come here to rob, we will fight with you, anyway, we don't want to live" When the group heard this, they immediately pointed the long stick in their hands at the bandits.
"His Grandma's ......."
"Chief, the boss has spoken, you can't swear," one of the thieves next to him reminded.
"Yes, yes, I almost made a mistake" The creature immediately looked sincerely frightened, and then said, "Fellow, we are here to help you work"
"Work?" When the old man heard this, he said angrily: "If you want to kill, you will kill, you don't have to play any tricks"
This gang of thieves was so aggrieved that they were about to cry. If you come to work for others yourself, there are still people who don't want it?
"Fellow, we're really here to help you work," the voice of the thing was crying, and tears were about to fall.
This group of villagers is a little strange, why don't these guys seem to be here to rob.
"Please, if you have any work, tell us to do it," the leader of the thieves begged again.
"Huh?" Not only was the old gentleman in front of him a little strange, but even a group of children and old people felt strange.
"Grandpa, is this a bandit? It's not scary at all," a snot baby, held in the arms of an old man, said with a puzzled look on his innocent eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense, the old man was startled, for fear that these bandits would be blamed.
When the leader of the thieves heard the child's words, he immediately felt like a heavenly sound.
"Yes, yes, we are not terrible at all, old man, we are really good people, this is the way of the world, if you don't rush it, who wants to be a bandit? Besides, since we became bandits, we have robbed the government and caravans, but we have not robbed the ordinary people, what do you do, just arrange for us to go."
This bandit leader is the first time to experience that this is when the bandits still ask for people like this.
"We all grow rice here, and the water in the fields is not available, if you can dig the ditch well, I will believe you," said the old gentleman.
When all the thieves heard this, they immediately rushed to the fields like the sound of heaven, and there was a way that there was a great strength in the number of people, and before it was night, they dug the ditch twice as deep, and it was wider, so that the people in the fields no longer had to take barrels and pots to fill their fields.
The people think that these thieves are quite cute.
"Hey, this sister-in-law, how tired are you from carrying water? I'll come," said one of the thieves, who took the bucket from the woman's hand and carried a load of water.
"Alas, this old man, you are so old, what kind of grass are you hoeing? I'll come," he said, snatching the hoe from his uncle's hand and starting to weed.
The people of the village were a little confused, at first they thought that these thieves were contrived, but they didn't expect to really help them work.
In fact, these thieves are also taken by Zhang Cheng's might, otherwise who would have eaten enough to support them and start running here to do farm work?
But more than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the people brought them food every day, and the chickens laid a few eggs, and they were all given to them first, and a few sweet potatoes grew in the field, and they were also given food.
This made them very moved, a lot of thieves and the women in the village have feelings, in this era, the Han natural disasters continue, and there are yellow scarves in chaos, men are either fought to do coolies, or died on the battlefield, the women in the village, most of them are widows.
The rest are the old people and children.
Looking at the wheat fields growing well in the field and the orderly arrangement of the home, this made them extremely moved.
Some women secretly took out the only private money left in the family to thank them, but they said that they didn't want anything, and said that the boss said that this is the right thing.
In this way, the hearts of these people are even more moved.
"Come on, two sticks, come to my house for dinner"
"And you, the third baby, come over too"
“........”
Nowadays, almost every village in Zhaoguo County will sound such a voice, in the hearts of the people, these people are no longer bandits, but their friends, for Zhang Cheng, who proposed this plan, the people are even more praised.
To the west of Zhao Kingdom, in a village very close to Qingyun Peak, Zhang Cheng was wearing a coarse cloth coat and a straw hat, standing on the ground, looking at the vigorous rice, followed by a group of old farmers.
"Uncle, there is still so much land and mountains here, why don't you plant rice?" Zhang Cheng said a little strangely.
"Alas, little brother, don't you know, these lands over here are yellow mud fields, and rice can't be grown at all.
"Really? So why does this plant grow? Zhang Cheng was a little strange and pulled up the rice.
"Huh?" The old farmer was also a little strange, and then said: "My lord, this land really can't grow rice, I don't think this plant should be rice" The old farmers were also a little strange.
This 'grass' is really similar to rice, but why is it here? And there's no water here.
"By the way, I remember, last year, there were a few such rice plants, but the grains that grew were small and a little dark"
"Huh?" Zhang Cheng was taken aback, he thought of a possibility, and then immediately said, "Uncle, is this rice grain still there?" Can you show it to me? ”
"Don't say it, it's true, I haven't been willing to eat it" The old man returned home and showed Zhang Cheng the rice.
"Champa rice?" Zhang Cheng's heart was suddenly excited!
