"Hmm..." Guo Jia stood on the ridge of a field, staring at the green seedlings in the field in a daze, looking very heavy.

The ox cart stopped on the side of the road, and the so-called traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books is to connect the knowledge in the books with what you have seen and heard in the process of traveling. So along the way, such stop-and-go is not uncommon, as long as they can get to the next township or county seat before the sun sets, under the condition of ensuring safety, then they will stop and check, just like now.

From the daily life of the people to the operation of the country, all of which are inseparable from food. Although the four of them were in a small corner of the world in Yingchuan Academy, they knew much more information than most people.

For example, Zhang Jiao was able to succeed, and the bigger reason was actually the drought in Jizhou, coupled with the government's expropriation and expropriation, which aroused public resentment and made hundreds of people join the Yellow Turban Army. If there is a bite to eat, then the people will not make this choice, most of the time, they will be like scalpers, diligent, and honest to become the most insignificant and vital part of the part of this dynasty.

"You..."Kong Ming, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai thought that Guo Jia was going to have some arguments to say next, and they were looking forward to it just now.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia said in a compassionate and elongated voice: "Look at the green seedlings robbed in this field, if there is no rain and the farmers' daily watering, then they will die." ”

As he spoke, Guo Jia turned his head, pointed at himself with his other hand, and pointed to the three with his other hand. He looked heartbroken, as if he had been betrayed by something and was unladylike.

"The same is true of me Guo Fengxiao! I'm also a little seedling that needs to be watered, how can you do this, when I have no money, not only don't fund me, but also restrict my actions! Aren't you afraid that I will die too? Well?!! ”

"Don't think I'm your friend! In Yingchuan Academy, I share weal and woe with you, sweep the fallen leaves in the courtyard together, and greet the stormy storm of the old masters with you! Not to mention, in the restaurant, when you need it most, if it weren't for me Guo Fengxiao fighting alone, how could you be in control of the world while talking and laughing? ”

"I... It's really, heart-wrenching. Holding his chest, Guo Jia took a few deep breaths, and the expression on his face made it extremely miserable and painful.

"Are you Xiao Miaomiao?" Kong Ming glanced at Guo Jia, shook his head, and imagined the scene where Guo Jiali turned into a big green seedling in the field, and his expression became extremely exciting.

Finally suppressed the urge to laugh wildly, he said: "If you Guo Fengxiao is a small seedling, I am afraid that the green seedlings of this whole field will die!" They need water, you need wine! Also, don't you feel the slightest bit of the coil you are carrying? Yes? ”

"That's right! Are we restricting your movements? Obviously, you don't have any money for wine, so you are reluctant to leave us! Of course, if someone is willing to stay and be a guy in the liquor store, we will keep him, although we are reluctant. Xi Zhicai added.

"Yes." Xun Yu nodded, he was usually like a gentle elder, but at this time, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and mercilessly made up for the knife and said, "Who is Yingchuan Academy targeted by the master and gentlemen?" Also, who was punished for sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard crying and begging us to help? Finally, at the party, who was the shameless person who was finally taken home, holding the horse pulling the carriage alive and alive, and going to fight it again for 800 rounds? ”

"I..." Guo Jia was hit by this series of heavy blows, took a step back, and opened his eyes to look at the three people in front of him. In an instant, in front of Guo Jia, there seemed to be a rain of arrows, and ten thousand arrows pierced through his heart. His heart is very cold, very cold, and he really understands them at this time, but he didn't expect that these people are usually so good with him on the surface, but behind the scenes, they remember his troubles one by one!

What a heavy scheming!

"Oh, don't worry about the past, let's look forward, look forward, don't be bound by the past!" Guo Jia said seriously, unaware of who started the accusation first, and who "did all the bad things" and caused public anger.

As for the wave in front of you, it's still in the past, right? Right? He was determined not to cause public anger, but now it was time to change his strategy and become serious, dignified, serious, and maybe he could embrace the wine again sooner.

Looking at Guo Jia's attempt to "cute" get through, Kong Ming just wanted to say that only those who believed in him had ghosts. The eyes of Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai met, and they glanced at each other without a trace, and the three of them invariably raised their vigilance against Guo Jia in their hearts.

This guy is very "ghostly", don't be deceived by his appearance, if you really relax your vigilance, it is estimated that the next moment, you will get the nearest farmhouse, or the wine shop in the township and county to look for his traces. That little bit of wine money is not a problem for Guo Fengxiao at all, with his wisdom and legitimate means, he can easily do it.

Because of this, how could the three of them allow Guo Jia to abuse his wisdom like this, in such a place? So resolutely suppressed, must be suppressed! The opposition is invalid, usually fierce, and Guo Jia must be firmly controlled!

"What do you think will happen to this year's harvest?" Xun Yu said loudly, his face could not hide his worry.

"Isn't there an old farmer over there, wouldn't it be nice to come and ask?" Guo Jia pointed to the distance, walking in the field, bending down from time to time to look down at the old farmer, not knowing what he was looking for.

After saying that, Guo Jia had already walked towards the old farmer, and after talking for a while, he walked back with the old farmer.

"Old gentleman." When the old farmer walked in front of him, Xun Yu was very respectful.

Kong Ming and Xi Zhicai are also the same as Xun Yu, bending over.

"I can't help it, I can't help it, the old man is just an ordinary farmer, and he can't afford to be a great gift from scholars." The old farmer hurriedly waved his hand, his face flushed with panic and panic.

He has lived so long, and he has seen some officials treat a common man like this, but the other party is a respected old man in their local area, not an old farmer like him. These four study tour students, treating him like this, really made him feel flattered.

"The old gentleman doesn't need to panic, just accept it calmly." Guo Jia also took a step back and gestured towards the old farmer.

When he raised his head again and put down his hand, a smile appeared on Guo Jia's face, and he joked: "Could it be that the old gentleman thinks that a few of us are white-faced scholars?" ”

His smiling appearance made the old farmer's nervousness subside a lot. Scratching his head embarrassedly, the old farmer really stared at the four people carefully for a long time, and finally replied in a very serious tone: "The scholars are not white, and you can tell at a glance that they are not white-faced scholars." ”

"Ugh." Hearing this, Guo Jia let out a long sigh, touched his face with his hand, and said distressedly: "Could it be that I have really become a "black" face scholar? ”

"Hahahaha..." Kong Ming and the three of them laughed, looked at each other, and their laughter became more and more hearty.

A few of them, it is indeed not as white as before, on the way to Luoyang, the wind and the sun, many things that they usually don't do, they have to do it themselves. Kong Ming and the three of them are okay, Xun Yu is a child of the Xun family, and there are many servants in the family who do many things for him, and now he has to say that it is a challenge to do it himself.

Look at it now, the four words white-faced scholar no longer apply to them. As the old farmer said, I saw it in their eyes, they didn't have that feeling of being ignorant of the world, and everyone had grown. This kind of growth is not only a change in the face, but also a transformation from the heart, from the inside out.

Sitting in the academy, at home, and not coming out, you can't really appreciate the changes in the world. How can there be an intuitive and intuitive understanding of what you have experienced, seen, touched, and understood?

Infected by the laughter of several people, the old farmer also smiled, revealing his sparse teeth. He really didn't feel the slightest arrogance in a few people, and he didn't feel that he couldn't get close, he was so close, if he changed into the clothes of ordinary people, he would really think that they were also the children of peasant families, ordinary people's families.

"The scholars are really not black, not black." The old farmer added very seriously. He is really not as nervous as before, and he has a little bit of a daily chat with his neighbors.

"By the way, what did the scholars call me to do?" The old farmer suddenly thought of the topic, so he asked.

"Old sir, a few of us came from Yingchuan, and we saw a lot of fields along the way, but we found that many fields were barren, what is the reason?" Xun Yu asked.

The other three glanced at each other, in fact, the three of them had already guessed, and there was almost no mistake. Now that the old farmer had come, he simply asked together.

It was fine not to mention it, but when he mentioned it, an angry look appeared on the old farmer's face. He whispered, "Those damn bunch..."

When he realized that he was talking to a group of scholars, he put back the vague scolding words and said: "It's not that group of hateful Yellow Turban thieves, looting everywhere and doing all kinds of evil, in that case, how many people still have the heart to farm?" ”

"Life is gone, what's the use of farming? The grain is gone, and even the grain for planting has been snatched away, so what to take to farm? These are all fine, but the worst ones are those who were brutally killed, they don't even have the opportunity to farm. The old farmer's tone was low, with a sense of gloom. He had lived for so long, and it was the first time he had experienced such a situation where the flames of war were so close at hand that they could spread to him at any time.

Fortunately, their county is well governed, and it is still in the heartland, and there is no trace of the Yellow Turban thieves. However, this did not prevent him from learning about it from relatives and friends, as well as from refugees who had fled to their hometowns.

Really. Hearing the old farmer's words, Xun Yu and the four of them all had expressions on their faces. First of all, the rebellion in Jizhou and then spread to all over the country, under this war situation, it is obvious how to protect the daily life of the people. Even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been extinguished now, it will take a long time to get to the Yellow Turban Bandits in various places and those defeated armies to be truly cleaned up.

As long as the other party hides and moves around, the officers and soldiers will not be able to guard at all and cannot be killed. If you go over the county, you will have to coordinate with the two governments at that time, and these times will be enough for those Yellow Turban defeated troops to burn and loot.

"What is the expected grain output of this year?" Xun Yu asked again, he was actually more concerned about these internal affairs.

The reason for the war and the Yellow Turban Uprising, in his eyes, is nothing more than a grain word. As long as there is food, there will not be so many people who will be coerced by the rebel army and become thieves. As long as they are given a bite to eat, and even enough food and clothing, how many people are willing to do such life-threatening things with that kind of rebellion.

"It should be a good year, as long as there is no war. There is still plenty of rain now, but in the summer, it may not be so. The old farmer shook his head, even if he was a veteran of working with the fields for a long time, there was no way to be sure of the grain harvest.

God, it's moody.

"That's it." Xun Yu muttered in a low voice. Rao is a self-proclaimed wise man, and there is no way to face God.

Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Kong Ming were also listening carefully to the conversation. When it came to this, all three of them had the same feeling in their hearts.

The power of heaven and earth, that is the most terrifying thing in the world, when it is mild, it is gentle and drizzly, and it brings a good harvest. Once angry, it can be a disaster. Even Kong Ming was deeply touched that in the empire of the Tianyuan Era, technology had climbed to such an extent, and there was no way to completely avoid the occurrence of those natural disasters.

"Man will conquer heaven." Sensing the hesitation in his heart at this moment, Xun Yu spit out this word that came from Kong Ming's mouth.

His eyes became extremely sharp, and the hesitation in his heart was replaced by firmness. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, as long as someone is willing to work hard and change, it can be improved.

Otherwise, what are they going to do? Those sages, how can they have experienced fewer natural and man-made disasters than them, but if they can change, and even dominate, then he must be able to!

When he heard Xun Yu's words, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia hit a spirit at the same time, and the brilliance in their eyes flashed. Every time they hear this word, they have such a feeling, who doesn't want to win over the "sky" of these poor people? Is it the piece of heaven that now covers the head, or the "sky" that is formed by the palms of many people?

"yes. Man will conquer the heavens. Kong Ming smiled, he just liked the self-confidence in the bones of the three of them, the heart of never admitting defeat.

Man, it is true that he can overcome the heavens. As long as there is no moment of submission and a heart never admits defeat, then for you, it is a victory.
