Chapter 818: It was originally a Los Angeles person who went to heaven
Staring at Wang Chengzhu, Xia Xiao's eyes were like torches, and there was a cold air, almost freezing it, and then said:
"I'm going to let everyone in the city eat first, and ask the lord of the city to be magnanimous and divide the grain into one cent, and then talk about farming and weaving and returning to normalcy. As long as everyone is united, next spring, we can return to normal, and we will not be as embarrassed as we are now, but this autumn and winter need to be prepared together in summer to survive. What do you think? ”
Glancing at the grain in the courtyard, Wang Chengzhu was obviously a little unhappy, and there was a lot of anger in his words, and he was no longer as restrained as before.
"Young Master Xia Xiao, since the easterners and the southern archers came, even if the treasury is limited, my Wang Chengzhu, as the lord of Los Angeles, has been doing his best to spread his own food widely. But now that the country has fallen, the treasury is empty, and I have not received any grain, why should I take back my own grain? ”
"Maybe you think I'm blackmailing the people and I'm a wicked person, but you don't know, there are a lot of local people in Los Angeles, most of them have been with me for more than ten years, and I have to at least ensure their food, as well as the upper and lower levels of the government and the officers and soldiers. If you can't even protect your own people, how can you talk about power and affection? It has been nearly a month since the southern archers came, and so did the people from the east, as an official of Great Xia, I am magnanimous and give up useless houses, but I have been living like this and eating white food, who do you think can stand it? If you were the lord of the city, would you let them sit there all the time, regardless of the affairs of the world? ”
Xia Xiao and Ah Candle sat down, Xiao Na and Tie Wu glanced at each other, and they knew that humans who could speak well would not easily agree to put order in order, just like at this time. In troubled times, those who have the ability want to continue this state, and only the poor people and some Ming officials and saints can wish the world peace. But Xia Xiao also came prepared, and immediately replied:
"Naturally, I won't let them eat white food."
"That's right!"
A smile appeared on Wang Chengzhu's face, and he secretly gave Xia Xiao a look. As long as Xia Xiao helps him, he will definitely let Xia Xiao enjoy the sweetness and have a group of wives and concubines.
Xia Xiao looked at him and easily understood his meaning, but now was not the time to be embarrassed, everything he did now had to be worthy of the sacrifice of his master and many predecessors.
"Food is limited, but now it's only summer, so you can cultivate the land and be self-sufficient. During this period, the city lord also needs to show kindness to the people of the city to tide over the difficulties. I believe that after the summer, they will at least have some of their own reserves, and at that time, they will be able to repay some more, and borrow some less, but they will have to work, all of them will be engaged in agriculture, and there will be undeveloped farmland around Los Angeles anyway. ”
"But this ......"
"Now pass on the order, anyone who has no food can come to the city lord's mansion to get food on credit, and start selecting fields in the afternoon. If there is conflict and troublesome in the process, you can come to me! ”
Before Wang Chengzhu gave the order, no one went down in the house, which was a phenomenon he hoped to see. But Xia Xiao's gaze made one person leave the place in a cold sweat, and after running out of the City Lord's Mansion, he spread the news around. Soon, there was an uproar in the city, but none of them dared to come without the first warrior coming forward.
Seeing that there were more and more refugees gathered outside the house, Wang Chengzhu's face was extremely poor, and he said:
"How can there be enough food for so many people in the house? Now that the times are in turmoil, there is no blacksmith shop, where is the farming tool? ”
"The food hoarded in your house is enough for these people to solve their urgent needs, and only need to be on credit for a week, and in the days to come, they will find their own way, but they can't let them starve to death without food without preparation. If there is a child-eating thing, wouldn't it be the anger of heaven and man? As for the farm implements and grains, I can provide them for free. ”
With a wave of his hand, countless tools have been made, and the wooden sticks and iron tools fit perfectly. There are also those seeds, which have been divided and neatly placed in the courtyard, which makes people outside the house a little shocked when they see it, but they still dare not move forward.
Just listen, Xia Xiao said:
"According to the family's situation, each farmer takes seeds. These grains are no faster than ordinary crops, they are the food of the Great Forest of Desolate Beasts, and they contain the vitality of my wood, which can help you solve the problem of food and clothing in a short time. As for rice and vegetable seeds, we have to figure out our own way. Of course, if there is a provider, I will reward them all. ”
As soon as these words came out, the first person stepped on the gate and masonry of the city lord's mansion, and before he took away the hoe and seeds, he knelt down in the courtyard and kowtowed with tears in his eyes.
"Thank you, Young Master Xia Xiao, Nanguo Zhanghou's family, I am grateful."
"How many people are in the family?"
"Five mouths."
"City Lord Wang, please also take the corresponding grain and vegetables."
Wang Chengzhu was reluctant to move, so Xia Xiao waved his hand to carry the grain, so that the hill-like rice noodles and baskets of vegetables and fruits were piled up on the side of the small courtyard. He now has a supreme position in the eyes of everyone, and if he only takes it himself, they will take it themselves, and they dare not take more. Then he kowtowed in thanks, thinking that he could finally live.
As the first warrior, Zhang Hou attracted the envy of everyone, with two hoes on his shoulders, two baskets of vegetables and fruits, and a bag of rice. Although it was difficult to hold it, the crowd was already red-eyed, and they immediately rushed forward, but Xia Xiao only said softly:
"Orderly queues!"
The scrambling queue was immediately lined up, and those people also kowtowed one by one, which was not rude. One person is fine, everyone is like this, and Xia Xiao can't stand it.
"Don't kneel on me, hurry up and finish your things and tell the others. Today, I'm going to let everyone sleep with their food in their arms, and after choosing the land in the afternoon, I'm going to start plowing it right away! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more grateful, but they did not kneel and bow again. In this way, the action is a lot faster, but some women, children and elderly people can't hold the rice noodles, and the movement is a little slow, but they dare not put it down, for fear of being snatched away. Xia Xiao saw it and said:
"Take the hoe fruits and vegetables back first, and come back later, from now on, no one is allowed to grab food, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!"
With such a strong command, they could also rest assured, and surrounded a few stones around the sack of rice, signaled that the object had an owner, and then hurried home and took it again. There are more and more people leaving, and there are many people coming, among them, there are people who are indiscriminate, take food once, and send their family members to come again, and they are immediately caught by Xia Xiao, that is, there are three knives and six holes, and their left hand twitches non-stop.
"The whole of L.A. is shrouded in my vitality, I can see your every move, if there are more takers, don't blame me for being unkind! There are also those who will take food in the future, they are all in a hurry, and the family does not have enough manpower, so they can find someone to pick it up. ”
Xia Xiao stood in front of the hall and watched a few people sneak away in the queue before he was satisfied. This kind of efficiency made everyone see a burst of praise, Xia Xiao was so resolute, although he had shown it in the discussion before, but he didn't expect it to be implemented so smoothly. But Xia Xiao knows that the people who live in peace are always a minority, and as long as it is beneficial to the majority, a few people are helpless.
From the time the grain was moved, Xia Xiao re-divided the rice and noodles into bags, although it was not much, it was only enough to boil porridge when he took it back, so as to ensure that everyone could share it. In this way, the people in the city really benefited quickly, and they jumped with excitement one by one. In some families without men, daughters come to help their mothers carry food, and they immediately smile.
The child would not hide his emotions, and when a few hearty laughter reached Xia Xiao's ears, his tense heart finally settled down.
"If you go to other cities, just do as I do, and if you have anything, feel free to contact us!"
Xiao Na Tiewu and the ten people nodded and left immediately, leaving only Xia Xiao and Ah Candle in the hall. He looked at the queue in front of him and roughly calculated how many cities there were like in Great Xia. Let's not talk about small towns and villages, the main thing they have to change is the big city, fourteen people, forming a team of seven, can only change seven cities. And in his absence, the order of the rest of the cities may not be as good as this. For the sake of efficiency and scope, Xia Xiao said:
"Have your people inform all the towns around L.A. and restore order! Since there are countless people who have died to protect the people of the world, we must live well now! ”
Wang Chengzhu's face was already at a certain level, but he could only nod and say yes. But he watched as his food became scarcer and his hoarded fruits and vegetables gradually ran away, and his anger grew more and more in his heart. When the grain was finished, the few people left began to take the bags of rice cakes collected in the courtyard, Wang Chengzhu took a breath and risked death to ask:
"Young Master Xia Xiao really doesn't want to give me a little way to live?"
"You still have a lot of things in your warehouse, even if you don't do anything, it's enough for you to eat for a month, but you can't afford to support so many wives and concubines, so you can do it yourself, and take care of your subordinates, if there is any more adultery with women, don't blame me for not caring for people, and kill them as an example!"
This sentence completely angered Wang Chengzhu, and he said angrily:
"Why is the young master so partial to the Southern Archers? Aren't my Great Xia people more important than them? Do you know that none of the seven or eight people who came here today are from Daxia. I have nothing to blame for distributing food and vegetables to the refugees in the eastern part of the dynasty, but why should I give them them? ”
"Because the Southern Shooters also perished in the war, and they fought without borders, for what? Just for the sake of others can live! Then since I'm still alive, since I'm still in Daxia, I can't treat them heartlessly! What is wrong with these people who just want to live? As long as I am here, regardless of the southerners, as long as I am in the middle of this world, under my eyelids, I must be a living person! ”
Xia Xiao shouted loudly, easily drank Wang Chengzhu, and made the hearts of the Southern Archer in the courtyard excited again. What Xia Xiao did was not for them to see, but at this time, Wang Chengzhu, who was watching the whole process, was angry in his heart, and secretly thought angrily:
Lao Tzu used to be the day of Los Angeles, but I didn't expect you nosy dog to come, it's so unlucky!
But when he thought about it, other cities were like this, and even the beasts were in charge, and his heart was much more refreshed, but his face was still not good. Xia Xiao stood in place, did not look at Wang Chengzhu, still heard A Candle say a few words, and said coldly:
"If you think you're still the day in L.A., I'll burn it! Also, although the orcs intervene, they can have the attitude of helping us, if you think about it again, you will be the first person to die in Los Angeles. ”
Wang Chengzhu, who was seen through his thoughts, knelt down timidly at this time, even if he was angry. He has a lot of people, but in front of Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, they are all waste. When the person who can easily burn the sky returns, his so-called heaven is a useless piece of waste paper, a piece of garbage, but he has to live.
But when he spared his life, Xia Xiao didn't answer, just looked at the gradually returning city lord's minions, and a sound resounded inside and outside Luocheng.
"The people from the City Lord's Mansion will all be back in ten minutes!"
