On the newly repaired official road in Lantian, a carriage is moving forward, at this time the side curtain of the carriage was opened, and a pair of eyes looked at the outside Although it was covered in silver, it could not cover up the prosperous Lantian County, especially the granaries built up in the courtyards of every household, and the warehouses inside were all corn, and the yellow and clear corn looked very good, this is all grain, it is food that can live.

You must know that Quan Daming now has enough food at home to survive the winter, I am afraid that no more than thirty percent, and the rest of the people are hungry and full, striving to survive this long winter.

But the people of Lantian are not like this, they have enough food, they don't have to worry about starvation, in this snowy season, the big guy can rest assured at home in the cat winter, this is definitely the life of people in other places, they can't dream of it.

"Stop."

"Phew~"

"What's the matter with Lu Gong, after passing the mountain in front of you, you should be able to reach Xi'an City after walking a few dozen miles."

"Where is this boundary?"

Lu Xiangsheng asked, and after hearing this, Li Deming said: "This place is Lintong." ”

"Oh, I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat."

Hearing this, Li Deming said: "This is a small village in the countryside, I'm afraid there is no restaurant, or let's hurry up, after the mountain in front, that end is Lintong County, there must be delicious food in the county." ”

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm going to eat here, just find someone." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said and got out of the car, and then saw an old man at the door of a family who was tidying up his haystack with a straw fork, and then Lu Xiangsheng walked over despite Li Deming's dissuasion and said, "Uncle." ”

The old man stopped and looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "Uncle, we are passing by, we are hungry when we come here, and we want to borrow some food at my father-in-law's house, I don't know if it's inconvenient." ”

"What's inconvenient about this, but we don't have anything to eat in this small family, and I'm afraid you won't be used to eating because of your extraordinary clothes."

"There's nothing I can't get used to, I'm not a picky eater."

"Okay, it's good not to be a picky eater."

The old man said, "Then you go into the house, and I will go back when I finish the haystack." ”

"Why don't I do it for you?"

"Hey, what kind of work is this, this crop work, you noble man can't get used to it."

Lu Xiangsheng laughed when he heard this: "My husband looks down on me, this farm work, I can do it at the age of seven or eight, come, give me this fork, I'll do it for you." ”

Lu Xiangsheng took the fork and easily picked up the grass that the old man wanted to pick up, and the old man smiled when he saw this: "You are really good at doing this." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Uncle, you are busy with other things first, I will do this work for you." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile, and the old man said: "Cheng, I'll leave it to you, I'll go back and let our wife cook something delicious for you." ”

After speaking, the old man entered the house, Li Deming came over and looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Lu Gong, why are you still doing farm work, let's leave quickly, the county is still waiting." ”

Lu Xiangsheng held a fork and picked up the grass at this time and said: "This grass, it is the heating thing of this old man's family in winter, the most important thing, how can you be idle, as for your county respect, there are people to eat, drink and serve, what is the hurry, let's be one day late and one day early, Li Deming, what you said to me last time is very reasonable, I will now hand it over to you, the people's affairs, no matter how small, it is also a big matter, no matter how big my Li Chaosheng is, in front of the interests of the people, it is also a small matter." Go, you hold the haystack for me, and I'll level it out. “

Li Deming: (⊙o⊙)...

Lu Xiangsheng has a lot of strength, and the two armies are not inferior to the Tartar fighting knife, which shows how strong his personal physical fitness is, and he is simply easy and happy to do this farm work, and he does it quickly and well.

It was done quickly, and the old man was ready to eat at this time, at this time he called the two, and the two entered the hospital, the old man washed his hands with a basin of water, and Lu Xiangsheng was a little surprised when he washed it: "Hot water?" ”

The old man smiled: "Yes, our family has newly bought a honeycomb coal stove, which is convenient to use hot water, and we can enter the house." ”

Soon Lu Xiangsheng was taken to the house, and then the old man said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Hahaha...... There is nothing to eat at home today, so I cut some sauerkraut, as well as some pork belly, soybean curd, sweet potato vermicelli, and some Chinese cabbage and radish, so let's eat a sauerkraut pot today. ”

"Sauerkraut pot?"

Lu Xiangsheng was a little curious, and the hero said: "Don't underestimate this sauerkraut pot, this is invented by our county, and eating this in winter is a must." ”

The old man said, and soon asked his wife to bring a casserole, under the casserole is a small yellow clay stove, in which coal is placed, and the charcoal fire bubbles the shabu-shabu in the casserole, which looks very appetizing.

Everyone sat around the table, the old man's wife was reluctant to go to the table, and in the end it was Lu Xiangsheng who forced him to go to the table.

In the pot are sauerkraut cut into thin strips, as well as very thinly sliced pork belly, as well as soybean curd, which is really a special pleasure to eat in this cold winter.

The old man was a hospitable person, and he also warmed up a pot of sweet potato roast for Lu Xiang, and several people drank wine and ate sauerkraut pot, which really had a unique flavor.

After eating and drinking for a while, Lu Xiangsheng began to inquire about the situation.

"Uncle, are you alone in your family?"

The old man smiled: "No, two sons, two daughters." ”

"Oh, it's good to have both children."

The old man smiled: "Yes, now the days are good, but when I was a child, now I think about it and I'm afraid, at that time, the family had four mouths waiting for food, I worked with the child's mother for the landlord's house, tired and half dead, that bit of food can barely make the family not starve to death, at that time like this sauerkraut pot with meat, that is only eaten in our dreams, which is like now, gluttony, you can eat every three or five days, hahaha, drink, drink." “

The old man touched a cup with Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng said, "By the way, what about your children now?" ”

When the old man heard this, he said: "The daughters are all married, one is in the next village, farming, and the other is doing small business in the city, and the person is also very capable, with a good brain, and has a small shop in the city, and the family moved to the city." ”

"Two sons, one is in the steel mill, and the other is in the business world of our Lantian as a waiter, and they can also deal with life, and I am left with my mother at home, and my life is very good, hehe......"

When it came to a few children, the old man obviously talked a lot, and Lu Xiangsheng heard this and said: "Okay, the children are all settled, the old man lives well in this village." ”

The old man heard this and said: "What, it's good, everyone's life is about the same, no one is better, but I really want to say, the current days are really upside down from the previous days, and now when I think of the previous life, I am afraid, I can survive back then, that is the real creation, these are thanks to our county, if it weren't for our county, we are now estimated to have to live that kind of precarious life, and I heard that we are outside the boundaries of the blue field, those who are not ruled by our blue field, the life of the people, It's still the kind of life we used to have, miserable. ”

After the old man said this, he looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "By the way, aren't you from outside, how are the people outside?" ”

】

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he said: "Compared with you, they seem to be living in hell. ”

"Alas~ Evil, why can't the emperor of the Ming Dynasty learn from our county, so that the people can live like our current life, alas~"

Lu Xiangsheng listened to the old man's self-talk, and couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, although he had some contact with Lantian, he had never talked to the lowest level of ordinary people, and he didn't understand what they were thinking in their hearts. “

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the old man and said: "I heard that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very dissatisfied with your Li Xianzun, maybe he will take your Xianzun, if it really comes to that day, who will you support?" ”

"Who are you supporting?"

The old man was stunned and said: "My old man is old, if I am still a young man, I can still fight for the county, I am willing to be the first to go to the battlefield, although I can't go to the battlefield, but my two sons are okay, if it really comes to that day, I will let my son go to the battlefield and fight for the county." ”

Lu Xiangsheng heard this and said: "Uncle, it is the emperor who wants to do Li Xianzun. ”

"Emperor, what about the emperor, who wants to move our county, the old man is desperate with him, I don't care if he is the emperor or not, what's wrong with the emperor, when I can't eat, I don't see the emperor come over to give me a bite to eat, it is the county zun who sees that we are dying of hunger, and gives us a bite to eat, so that we can live the life like a god now, now we are full of food and drink, the emperor has also come out, and wants us to sell his life, why, just because he was born in the emperor's family, he wants to order us to order the old and young masters of Lantian to deal with the county honor, it is impossible, don't talk about me, you just ask millions of people in the entire Lantian area, and absolutely no one will lose my county's respect for the so-called emperor, we are all willing to shed the last drop of blood for the county's respect and for our current good life. ”

The old man said categorically, Lu Xiangsheng did not doubt the old man's determination when he heard the words, the old man obviously did what he said, Lu Xiangsheng drank a spicy sweet potato roast when he heard the words, ate a mouthful of sauerkraut pot, and his heart was also mixed, the old man's words represent the public opinion, once upon a time, the people of the Ming Dynasty were proud of being a Ming person, but now, the people have regarded the emperor as an enemy.

The king regards the people as mustard, and the people regard the king as an enemy, sure enough, there is no gratitude, and there should be no unreasonable foolishness in this world, thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "The king is like this, what do you have to do with the people?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said a word, and the old man on the side looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Mr. has something on his mind?" ”

"No, it's just that I suddenly thought of a question that has been haunting me for a long time."

Lu Xiangsheng said, and after hearing this, the old man said, "Then let's drink?" ”

"Drink."

Lu Xiangsheng raised his glass and touched a glass with the old man again, drank it in one gulp, and then asked Lu Xiangsheng again, the grain storage in the old man's house is enough for the family to eat and drink?

How is the harvest in the village this year, anyway, it is a dialogue, and the situation of the people in Lantian is clear, and after doing all this, Lu Xiangsheng can't help but sigh: "Lantian people live a real life." ”

When leaving, Lu Xiangsheng took out a Lantian silver dollar from his pocket and put it on the old man's cabinet, without giving money for dinner, this is not Lu Xiangsheng's style of life.

The old man didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng kept the money, otherwise the old man would never accept it, so he sent Lu Xiangsheng and his party away like this, and Lu Xiangsheng's attitude changed greatly.

In the past, when he came to Lantian he had a feeling of being tricked by Li Chaosheng, whether it was the loan contract or a series of things in prison, Lu Xiangsheng felt that he had fallen into Li Chaosheng's trap, and he was also very resistant in his heart, but today he really came to Lantian and had a meal with the simple people of Lantian, his senses all changed, and his thoughts changed.

Even if Li Chaosheng used means in his own matter, but Li Chaosheng can govern the people so well, and everyone can live a fairy-like life, Lu Xiangsheng feels that Li Chaosheng is countless times stronger than himself, even if he is talented and loyal to the country, but he is far inferior to Li Chaosheng in governing the people.

He admits this, and at the same time, he is not so resistant to the fact that he was abducted into Lantian by Li Chaosheng, if it is for the sake of serving the people of Lantian, he Lu Xiangsheng is still willing, Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng, compared with the common people, some personal integrity, honor and disgrace are nothing.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the law and righteousness of Lantian in his car, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, now the people's livelihood in Lantian is good enough, and the military is strong enough, there is no need for him to put the icing on the cake, only this law, there is still room for improvement, and his own character Lu Xiangsheng himself knows.

Doing government affairs and military affairs is not tactful enough, and he may not be able to gain a foothold in Lantian alone, but the law, Lu Xiangsheng thinks that he can abide by the bottom line of the law, he can do it and he will be prosecuted for violating the law, everyone is equal before the law, and even for the justice of the law, Lu Xiangsheng dares to abandon his personal life and death, and asks Li Chaosheng about right and wrong.

Uprightness is Lu Xiangsheng's personality trait, so the legal officer is the official position that Lu Xiangsheng wants to ask Li Chaosheng for this trip, and this time Lu Xiangsheng also wants to ask Li Chaosheng for a right, a legal right.

The car moved forward slowly, and Lu Xiangsheng said to Li Deming outside: "Speed up, I want to see your county lord earlier." ”

Li Deming was stunned, Lu Xiangsheng didn't show any anxious attitude along the way, he didn't expect that he was about to go to Lantian, he was in a hurry, was it the old man's words that made him change his mind?

Li Deming thought about it, but he quickly got rid of this thought, no matter what, it was a happy thing for Lu Xiangsheng to see the county lord soon.

At least it shows that Lu Xiangsheng is now interested in doing things for Lantian Thinking of this, the corners of Li Deming's mouth turned up slightly, waved the horsewhip, and accelerated the speed of the car.

"Drive!"
