Outside the walls of Yanjing City.

There was a waning moon hanging high in the night sky.

Under the night sky are village huts hidden in the bamboo forest.

There was a little light in the hut, and from a distance, it looked like a sparse star in the night sky.

Not far away are the fields.

There was the sound of frogs in the field.

There are dogs barking in the village.

Occasionally, there is also a woman's roar of a lion in Hedong, accompanied by the cry of a child.

This is the largest of the dozens of villages outside Yanjing City.

It's called Moziping Village.

At this moment, Li Chenan and his entourage of more than ten people are here.

It's in the courtyard where Zhuge is not bright.

Zhuge Buliang's thatched hut is small, but the yard is huge.

In addition to a stone table and two stone benches, there is also a pavilion in the courtyard.

This table and stool are not in the pavilion.

There was a rather large drum in the pavilion.

Li Chenan walked over, touched the drum, looked at Zhuge Buliang, and asked:

"What is this thing for?"

Zhuge Buliang hurriedly bowed his hand and said:

"This ...... This drum is used as a warning and a summons! ”

"After all, the villagers were very worried about bandits coming, so they set up a village soldier and created this drum."

"On weekdays, the big guys have to do farm work, in case something happens, beat this drum, the big guys will know that something big is happening, and they can support as quickly as possible."

"Oh...... You don't do farm work? ”

Zhuge Buliang's face was slightly red, and he was a little apprehensive.

"Xiaomin just waited for two vegetable plots...... It's not that the people are lazy, it's that the villagers don't want to go down to farm. ”

"I'm not afraid of the regent's jokes, the seedlings planted by Xiaomin are crooked, and they all floated up the next day, so tired that the villagers have to go and insert them a second time."

"I guess the villagers couldn't see it, so I gave three acres of land to the small people, but the three acres of land were handed over to the villagers to help me cultivate together. And what about me...... It's to take care of the children in this village. ”

"Teach them to read and write, and by the way, help the villagers settle accounts, if there are mountain bandits and thieves, the small people will beat this drum."

"Oh......"

Li Chenan nodded, this Zhuge Buliang is a talent.

Don't underestimate the showman!

In such an era, it is not so easy to get admitted to a show with real talent.

This is the reader.

Scholars usually have a very high status and are respected in the eyes of the villagers, but this Zhuge Buliang looks poor, but he does not have that sour and rotten taste.

Li Chenan looked at the simple thatched hut and walked out of the pavilion.

Zhuge Buliang hurriedly followed, and his heart became more and more worried.

He really didn't expect this regent to come to his little place when he returned!

He thought that even with General Su's kind words, even if the regent remembered that he was interested in seeing himself, he would definitely summon himself to Yanjing City-

Although Yanjing City is an empty city, camping in it is more comfortable than this countryside.

But this regent came to his own home!

This is a real humble house.

I didn't even have tea, and I didn't have time to boil a sip of hot water.

I heard General Su say that this regent is different, which may be one of the differences between him and the emperors of previous dynasties.

I heard Qin Rigang say that this regent loves the people and attaches great importance to the peasants...... It is true that he does not know how to farm, will this make him look down on himself?

But the look on his face didn't change.

Is this what he doesn't care about?

Or did he not show the displeasure in his heart in the depths of the city?

The corners of Zhuge Buliang's mouth curled-

What's wrong with me?

Why do I care so much?

Just because he is the regent of Ningguo?

Just because there is still a flame in my heart that has not been extinguished?

This is the concern is chaos!

I am a showman, I can live here safely, teach those children, and live a life of coarse tea and light food but extremely peaceful, this is what I wanted before!

People, you can't have too much desire!

Because desires can never be satisfied!

Thinking like this, Zhuge Buliang's heart calmed down, his waist gradually straightened, and there was no longer the slightest panic in his eyes, and even his pace was stable.

Li Chen'an stopped in front of the hut.

He pointed to the hut and turned his head to look at Zhuge Buliang: "Do you think that a scholar should live such a poor life?" ”

Zhuge Buliang was stunned, and generously bowed:

"Compared with the villagers, Xiaomin is already satisfied."

"Compared to the world's readers...... Xiaomin thinks that those who are named on the ten-year cold window gold list are naturally qualified to sell what they have learned all their lives to the emperor's family! ”

"As for the price, it depends on the skills learned, and it also depends on the appetite of the emperor or not."

"Of course they shouldn't live such a poor life, the regent abolished the recommendation to carry out scientific examinations, and of course he won't let those scholars live such a hard life!"

Li Chenan grinned.

"Your mouth is like oil, but you're right!"

"A capable scholar should not live such a hard life."

"Let's go, have a cup of tea."

Zhuge Buliang was stunned, "This, there really isn't!" ”

"I have!"

“…… Thank you Regent! ”

The two of them sat down.

There was a yellow dog running out of the night.

It had just run into the yard only to find that there were many strangers in the yard.

It whimpered twice and shut its mouth.

It's not that Zhuge Buliang scolded it, but that it felt two murderous aura!

One of them came from under the pear tree on the edge of the yard!

Under that pear tree there was a donkey, a horse, and a pitch-black dog!

The pitch-black dog was obviously two laps smaller than it, but the dark eyes staring at it made it clamp its tail.

And another danger comes from a man standing in the yard!

Of course, the big yellow dog didn't know Wang Zhenghaoxuan.

But it keenly felt the man looking into its eyes...... It's not a murderous aura, but an expression that wants to capture it!

The big yellow dog turned around and ran!

Here, it's too dangerous!

Li Chenan naturally didn't pay attention to these.

He really asked Xia Hua to take out the teastove, teapot and tea can.

The paper kite went to fetch a pot of well water, Li Chenan lit the tea stove, and really boiled a pot of tea.

"You...... How old is this year? ”

"Back to the regent, it's twenty-five out of twenty."

"Oh...... Are you married? ”

"Originally, they should have gotten married the year before last, but the year before last, Yingzhou Blizzard, not only many villages were destroyed by that blizzard, even some towns...... For example, my home is in Fugui Town, Yingzhou, and many houses collapsed in that blizzard. ”

"My family's house also collapsed, my father and mother were crushed to death by the collapsed beams, I was not at home at that time, I was in Huangtang County."

"It's the same with my fiancée's house...... All five members of the family died. ”

Li Chen'an's eyebrows tightened: "So serious? ”

Zhuge raised his head, looked at the moon, and sighed: "At least half of Fugui Town has survived, and the people in those villages are really miserable!" ”

He retracted his gaze and looked at Li Chen'an: "The countryside is full of thatched huts, and it is not easy to kill people when the thatched huts fall, but there is no place to shelter from the cold, but many people have frozen to death!" ”

"That's a real starvation!"

Zhuge Buliang hung his head, his face was gloomy.

"The people of Ningguo, these years, it's been too hard!"

"These people who survived...... It's not easy, either! ”

"This ...... When is it a head? ”
