Chapter 18 What is the will of the people

Mi Zhen's mind is full of thoughts, and Wei Shi is a person who makes her unable to see through.

The first time she saw Wei Shi, she had the impression of being honest and responsible, with a little shrewdness, and there was a flattering meaning in her words.

Undoubtedly, this is a young person who deserves attention and cultivates and has a lot of potential.

If Wei Shi really took refuge, if he had the ability to come up in the future, he could also recommend it to General Zuo, but Wei Shi's subsequent breach of the contract and oath made Mi Zhen hesitate.

"Madam, the matter of the woman in the village spinning thread is actually due to the concubine, and the husband takes care of my face, so I really don't want to go if I violate the contract."

Han Qiuyun frowned when she saw Mi Zhen, knowing that she had a misunderstanding about Wei Shi, and hurriedly explained.

Mi Zhen sighed, her expression was solemn, and said: "Although this is the case, if you are not honest, how can you win the trust of others, in this matter, Wei Niangzi, you attach too much importance to the interests of the villagers." ”

For the sake of the good life of the people of Yushuwan, he did not hesitate to pit a cooperative object.

If you do something like this once, you will do it a second time.

Without integrity, there is no basis for trust, even if Wei Shi came up with novelties such as looms, he only reached reciprocal trading conditions.

Thinking of this, Mi Zhen couldn't help but sigh, and her beautiful eyes showed disappointment.

Han Qiuyun smiled helplessly, trusting or something, she didn't understand it very well, and she didn't understand it.

She is the lowest level of cloth, and her greatest wish in her life is to have a full stomach and live a good life with food and clothing.

At the beginning, he asked Wei Shi to give the village women a spinning wheel, but he couldn't bear to let the villagers go hungry.

Han Qiuyun didn't make an excuse, Song Yuniang was by the side, and when she heard Mi Zhen's questioning words, she was anxious.

She hurried a few steps, came to the corner of the spinning wheel, and pulled a thin little lady about ten years old, this little lady's clothes were patched, her hair was yellow and yellow, and there was no trace of healthy blood on her face.

"Sister Yu, what are you pulling me for, I still want to spin thread?" The little lady couldn't win Song Yuniang's strength, so she screamed anxiously.

This little lady named Xiaonan is not yet an adult, her strength is insufficient, and she has never spun thread before, and the action of spinning thread is relatively rusty, compared to women such as the fifth aunt, she always makes mistakes.

If she can't keep up with the speed, her salary will be less than others, and she can't delay a day.

Song Yuniang's strength was greater than Xiao Nan's, and she couldn't help but pull her to Mi Zhen, and said: "Madam, this is Xiao Nan, there is a father who has been disabled in the war, and a little brother who is only three years old, she is the pillar of the family, and she has to earn money to grab medicine, buy wheat bran, and feed her family. ”

"If it weren't for Brother Shi and Sister Qiuyun taking her in, Xiao Nan's family would have starved to death a long time ago. Xiao Nan, am I right? ”

When Xiao Nan heard Song Yuniang's words, his anxious face showed a look of worry, and he nodded again and again: "What Yu Niang said is right, Xiao Nan's father followed the imperial court to fight against the rebels, and he had thick sores on his feet, and he was infected with wind and cold epidemics. Fortunately, the weaving workshop has wages, and with wages, he can catch medicine for his father and earn ..... for his younger brother. ”

The children of poor families are in charge of the family at an early age.

A ten-year-old child is a treasure of the family in the next life, not to mention raising a family, but to help wash the dishes, and to be a hard-working child.

The reason why Wei Shi took Xiao Nan in was because he saw that the child was living too hard, if she didn't spin in the weaving mill, she could only chop wood, and with her strength, she couldn't earn a few dollars in a day.

Let the poor people in the village live a good life.

This is the most important oath since Wei Shi crossed.

If a promise can keep Xiao Nan's family alive, Wei Shi feels that it is worth doing.

Mi Zhen looked at Xiao Nan's small figure, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything for a while.

She has lived in a wealthy family of businessmen since she was a child, and she has never seen the suffering of the people at the bottom, nor can she imagine that under the rule of Xinye County, there are still people who can't survive.

After a visit, it was getting late, Mi Zhen and Mi Zhu took their servants and lived in the house left by Cai Lichang and Cai Guang under the protection of Wei Yan.

That night, Wei Shi and Han Qiuyun entertained the Mi brothers and sisters in the Cai family's compound, as the former lieutenant, the Cai family's house was obviously much better than the rest of the village.

Of course, compared to General Zuo's Mansion in Xinye City, it still can't be compared.

Wei Yan came uninvited at dinner.

He already thought from his heart that Wei Shi was his brother, and after unceremoniously tasting the roasted hare pheasant, Wei Yan's face was full of praise and praise.

"Wei Langjun, you are different from others." Mi Zhen took a small bite of rabbit meat, looked at Wei Shi's busy appearance, and sighed faintly.

After knowing the situation of Xiao Nan's family, her proud attitude has calmed down a lot, and now when she sees Wei Shi again, the contempt in her eyes has gradually receded.

Wei Shi handed over a roasted piece of pheasant leg and said, "The situation in the village is like this, this is the case in Xiao Nan's family, and it is actually the same in my family, if it weren't for ....., Xiao'e would be the same as Xiao Nan." ”

"Brother Wei Shi, Gao Yi."

Wei Yan was also from a poor family, and when he heard that Wei Shixin felt pity for the people in the village, he couldn't help but praise it.

Wei Shi didn't care, smiled humbly, and said: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world, I don't have the ambition of Uncle Huang, and the revival of the Han family is too far away from me, so I can only give the villagers to find a way to live in this troubled world." ”

What is Liu Bei's ambition?

On the surface, it is the Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, but in fact, it is fighting for hegemony in the world.

Wei Shi saw this more clearly than many people in this era.

"Brother Wei Shi, this high-temperature molten iron can really improve the purity of iron juice, is your method reliable?" Mi Zhu had a soft spot for barbecue, and after eating to his heart's content, he became interested in Wei Shi's newly built iron kiln.

The victory or defeat on the battlefield is not only the ability of the generals on both sides, but also the logistics.

Liu Bei was exiled from Xuzhou to Jingzhou, and the weapons of the soldiers under his command had long been in tatters.

Nowadays, Liu Beijun's weapons, including Wei Yan, a pro-army marquis, are all old standard guns and spears and ring-headed knives, and once they are on the battlefield, they are likely to break after a few collisions.

Wei Shi nodded and explained: "High-temperature molten iron, some people have already tried it in the former Han Dynasty, and the stone is also obtained occasionally, after the blast furnace is closed, the furnace fire gathers to facilitate heating, so that the iron juice smelted out will have few impurities, and the toughness of the iron can also be improved." ”

"Brother Wei, if the iron kiln you built can really forge a divine weapon, if it is true, can it ..... Can you give Yan a hundred refining battle knives. ”

Wei Yan recognized Wei Shi in his heart, and his words were a lot closer, thinking of Wei Shi's ability one after another, his expectations for the iron kiln increased a few points.
