Chapter Eighty-Five: The Affair of Sannon (Part II)
The discussion between the two was over, and the surroundings slowly fell silent again.
Listening to the murmuring of a stream of clear water in my ears, I watched a bright moon blend between heaven and earth in such a lonely way, with silver light all over and stars dotted.
The hearts of the two of them swelled with infinite affection, like flowers falling into dust and ripples, rippling and multiplying. It's just that no one knows if there is a shadow of each other in their hearts.
The next day, the celebration banquet in Anle Village was particularly lively. The scene surpassed the hottest feast in the history of the village.
The lord of Di Zhai and the leaders of the second and third masters of the village are taking turns to toast the brothers in the village one table after another. The men and women at the wine table who were drunk were not humble either, as if they were the dignity they deserved, and they did not refuse to come.
Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong sat in the middle seat, and the two of them drank alone intentionally or unintentionally, and there was no trace of joy on their faces. Di Jinyan posed very bored on the side, sighing faintly, squinting and teasing on the table with chopsticks. "It's really a disappointment, the whole village is so happy, drinking. It's like you're here to drink the feast of the dead who wept and mourned, can't you open your hearts and squeeze out a little smile for everyone? Anyway, this is also the celebration wine of Anle Village, don't sweep away everyone's fun. ”
Old Man Dong raised his head again, drank a glass alone, wiped his lips and said. "Miss, you don't know. Your Anle Village is famous, but Li Qiusheng, this kid, is even more troubled. Maybe all the people outside are eager to search for this kid now? The silver of the white flowers, the golden yellow, who doesn't want to come to get a piece of the soup rewarded by the court. How will we go to the capital in the future? After that, he squinted at Li Qiusheng who was sitting on the other side, held a peanut with chopsticks in his hand, and chewed it slowly.
"Here you go again, old man, can you stop for a moment. If you continue like this, you don't have to go to the capital to find Dong Yanzhi, you will be reimbursed first. Li Qiusheng snorted angrily, he was most annoyed that Old Man Dong would come to this irrelevant trouble from time to time. There is no saying that "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge." "He, Li Qiusheng, is just such an iron-clad look, so he doesn't care that the outside world is a mess.
Just as the three of them were chattering and arguing, the golden knife man had already walked over. He took Li Qiusheng's hand and stood on the mound and said loudly. "Brothers and sisters, today Anle Village can hold such a beautiful feast, and the person we should be most grateful for is the little hero --- Li Qiusheng. Without him, there would have been no twenty carts of grain and grass we had robbed, and there would have been no safe victory of last night's 'Spicy Array', and the heroes of our village would have bled more and not sweated. ”
The golden knife guest praised Li Qiusheng and pushed Li Qiusheng in front of everyone, and at this time, everyone's joy almost drowned out all the lively noise. Li Qiusheng stood in the middle and blushed for a while, and at this moment he was so trembling that he couldn't speak, looking embarrassed.
Di Jinyan kept throwing her eyebrows at Li Qiusheng from the side, and then made a circular moon shape on the top of her head, as if to remind Li Qiusheng not to forget the conversation last night.
Li Qiusheng seemed to suddenly remember the clip of stopping at the stream last night, and he immediately cleared his throat and said to the people in the village. "I have something to explain to you, we have been fighting and killing for so many years, in addition to grabbing it quickly, I believe that the personnel will not be lost, but what can we get in the end? The family where the wife is separated is still the sad voice of the parents calling their children to return home at night. After speaking, everyone in the village suddenly fell into silence, and the lively scene became deserted.
When the golden knife man looked at the scene in front of him, he seemed to understand what Li Qiusheng had to say, so he said. "Little hero, he has something to say but he can't defend himself. We are not people who are closed off the way of speech, and we can't listen to disappointing words. After that, he gave a deep salute to all the people in the village and signaled again and again.
Li Qiusheng understood what the golden swordsman meant, and turned around and said again. "I don't say that everyone knows that although we have won a victory over the official army at the moment, the encirclement and suppression will become more and more difficult. Our grain and grass will become the biggest problem in the village, if it is not solved well, Anle Village will be self-defeating, and it will cease to exist. After the words fell, everyone immediately had a dull commotion, and then looked at Li Qiusheng in unison, and quietly exchanged ears and began to discuss.
Someone below was so anxious that he straightened up and muttered, "Little hero, if the officers and soldiers rush to encircle and suppress as you said, how can we solve it?" ”
"yes, what are we going to do?"
"Come on, don't rush everyone."
"Little hero, we want to hear your opinions and opinions."
Li Qiusheng was surprised by the scene of the crowd surging for a while, and he thought that the picture of resistance that appeared strongly in his mind. At this time, everyone in the village was surprisingly calm, as if they were all thinking about the topic that Li Qiusheng had just said.
Seeing that the time had come, without waiting for the golden swordsman to speak out again to appease everyone, Li Qiusheng clenched his fists and said loudly, "Before, Mr. Wu taught me to read the clouds: the earth is born, and there are plants and trees. This plant is all over the land. Rice and sorghum, wheat millet, these six grains, people eat. Horses, cattle and sheep, chickens, dogs, pigs, and people feed. In other words, there are agricultural plants that grow in the ground and in the water, and the six kinds of grains such as rice, sorghum, soyce, wheat, and millet are the main food of people, and the six kinds of livestock, such as horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs, are animals that people raise and support their lives. Therefore, I propose that all the people in Anle Village can rely on the large area of fertile land in the village to carry out mulberry farming. First, we can reclaim and plant, and second, we can increase the self-reliance of the grain in our village, prevent unexpected external difficulties, and cut off our food urgency. ”
The Golden Knife Ke and Old Man Dong were stunned, and everyone in Anle Village was stunned. They looked at Li Qiusheng, who seemed to be stupid, and they couldn't think of his solution at all, which was actually to ask the men and women of Anle Village to carry out slash-and-burn farming before entering the green forest? This doesn't seem to be any different from the life of ordinary people who do sunrise and rest day by day?
Although Di Jinyan had already known Li Qiusheng's thoughts before, she was still shocked at this time. She looked at Li Qiusheng in the middle with confused eyes, as if the scene of the two talking by the stream last night had come to her eyes again. It was hard for her to imagine that Li Qiusheng had not been instructed by the owner of the village, so blatantly put forward the matter of Sannong that he had outlined in front of everyone. But Li Qiusheng did just that, and he single-handedly came up with a plan that everyone didn't expect.
Although Di Jinyan has a fan-like attachment and admiration for Li Qiusheng, she has indescribable joy and confusion. But she still didn't dare to agree with Li Qiusheng's opinion at this time. She bowed her head blankly, looking at the man in front of her who she liked so much, how to push her own ideas against public opinion. Create the most beautiful miracle for her infatuation in Anle Village.
Speechless, silent, thoughtful, doubtful, doubtful, hesitant, all pressed on Li Qiusheng's body for a while. Li Qiusheng stood quietly like an iron-clad man, as if he was undergoing the test of all kinds of wind and rain, and he had to persist and persist for the scenery he had planned.
"Good idea, good idea." The golden knife man finally let out the first and most powerful praise from the crowd, and then he separated the crowd and walked straight to Li Qiusheng, holding his hand and raising his hand, and shouted, "The little hero is right, we must learn the things of Sannong from now on." We can't be a thief green forest who is cursed by our ancestors for the rest of our lives, but we can be a paradise of peaceful people, and we can build Lezhai harmoniously and beautifully by ourselves. ”
As soon as the words of the golden knife landed, the people in Anle Village immediately boiled, some echoing and some opposing. All kinds of different voices suddenly mixed together, and smashed wildly on the forehead of the golden swordman. The golden knife man also seemed to be unable to withstand everyone's words for a while, as if he was in a hurry, and he couldn't deal with it. He suddenly raised his voice and pointed at one of them and shouted, "One-eyed nine, do you have a big opinion?" I'll ask you. When I sent you to the East Checkpoint last night to help in the battle, why did you say that you were not too sick to go to battle with the team? It's only been a few hours now, and you're yelling and pretending to be a ghost here. Are you really sick? Tell everyone about it. ”
This one-eyed nine was shouted at by the golden knife guest, and immediately bowed his head and said timidly. "Lord Di Zhai, now, my illness is just a little better. Isn't that what everyone is happy about? I'm here. Without waiting for the Golden Knife to speak, everyone laughed and teased around One-Eyed Nine. Yo, yo, one-eyed nine, can't you see it? You're pretty good at pretending. It won't be that as soon as you go to the battlefield, you will be afraid that your legs will be weak and your feet will be numb, and you will be reluctant to die, and the little lady at home will be left behind. ”
"One-eyed nine, you're not righteous. Every time our brothers are desperate in front, you hide behind and pretend to be your grandson. It turns out that you are so afraid of death, and now that you don't have to fight for your life as a peasant again, you are in opposition again. ”
"Ha, ha, you're just a villain, don't hand it over."
One-eyed nine was calculated by these few little men who were in favor of Sang Nong's affairs, and his purple face like pork liver slowly wilted. The other opponents wanted to continue their debate, and when they saw that One-eyed Nine was grabbed by someone's sore foot, they were ridiculed and sneered. Slowly, most people quieted down and gave up the initial resistance.
Seeing that there was no opposition from everyone in the field, the golden knife man immediately turned around and said to Li Qiusheng. "Little hero, what is the danger of food and grass that we must solve first? What kind of crops should be planted is the best strategy. ”
Li Qiusheng was slightly stunned by the Golden Knife Ke's question, and a picture immediately flashed in his mind that he could not forget for the rest of his life.
Slowly, it emerged in Li Qiusheng's mind. It's both warm and sweet.
