Now it is the height of summer, the sun smokes the air cage, not to mention the inside of the house, even under the shade of the trees, it is too stuffy, if you wave the hoe twice, the back will be soaked. But the land is how many people's lives, Zhao San and his wife were captured for half a year, and they did it for half a year.

After all, the other party really dares to kill!

It's not that I haven't thought about escaping, but 1,200 taels of silver are on the land under my feet, and there is hope to return to my roots if I stay, and if I escape, there is really nothing left. Although the Zhuangzi in midsummer is not as delicate as Beijing, it is better than the fragrant rice, full of vitality, and there is a unique scene.

Zhao San's spirit of work is full of three points!

A hoe is swinging round, turning up the sweet potato vines on the ground, removing weeds and tearing off adventitious roots, so that the fertility can be supplied to the taproot, so that it can ...... 'hiss', Zhao San was fascinated, and a pile of bells and whistles suddenly appeared in his hand.

Paper is a precious thing, and the paper on which the words are written is a clone of the sages, and it has to be taken back and burned to not spoil the sages.

Seeing the figure on the side of the road moving, in the direction as if in front of her, she suddenly hid her hands full of torn paper in the belt behind her, bent down and pretended to be busy.

When the figure approached to hook her belt, Zhao San's heart beat wildly, and he lay on the ground with his eyes rolling, shouting with his hands and feet: "I'm a good family!" What do you want to do! ”

The angry eyes covered up the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart, the gangsters who guarded the mouth would always catch a woman back in ten days and a half months, Zhao San was angry and scared in his heart. It's not a good thing to be caught by the men and never look back, and you know it with your toes.

She shouted hard, Liu Pingxun, who was working nearby, came over, and without waiting for a stunned effort, the formation of lifting a hoe and fighting was put up in an instant, and the surrounding tenant farmers saw this, and also followed him to surround the man.

"Who are you! What do you want! "The heads of the Zhuangzi next to them are all landlords in the city, and they are afraid of things and dare not cause trouble, but they are not Yuzhuang.

Zhao San was born good-looking and capable, and the Zhuangzi next to him was still watching the planting of rice, only she found another way to plant sweet potatoes and corn in a large area in Yuzhuang, so Yuzhuang's grain output was more than three times that of the side.

In the current situation, the person who can feed everyone is a good person, and a good person must be supported from all directions when he is in trouble.

Looking at the farm tools in everyone's hands, Rao is Feng Bao was also stunned, he didn't do anything! He was just curious about a woman who was still carrying a piece of paper on the ground, which was a little strange. Yiyi waved his hand again and again, took a step back, and said loudly: "Don't get me wrong, my son-in-law has traveled here, and I heard that your grain production is outstanding, so I came to visit." ”

What kind of son, half of the old eight counties of Jinling are now called bandit nests, and even the government can't help it, what kind of traveling son must be a traitor!

The atmosphere was stalemate for a while, Zhao San didn't care about decency, and sat on the ground with Liu Pingyun in his hand, holding a sickle in his hand, as long as he was not blind, he could see the defense around her.

Of course, in fact, his legs were shaking like sifting chaff, and he couldn't stand up at all.

She looked from the bottom up, and naturally saw that there was a hard object bulging on the waist that the man was trying to hide, and she thought that it was either a sword or a hidden weapon. Zhao San pressed on Liu Ping's shoes casually, and the couple glanced at each other thoughtfully.

After a while, she saw the traveling son.

Although he is dressed in fine clothes, he has become a style of his own. But the skin is dull, the eyebrows are sparse, the face is wide and the mouth is large, and the face is decrepit, but a pair of star-like eyes are surprisingly beautiful, so clear that they seem to be able to see through people's hearts at a glance.

It's a pity that these eyes, Zhao San thought to himself.

Feng Bao entered from the outside, and when he saw Zhao San staring at his master, he wanted to draw a knife in his heart, but before the scolding could be spoken, he asked Shui Yi to raise his hand and brush the tea bowl and pressed.

A threat passed in front of Zhao San, and Liu Ping was noisy outside and said that he wanted to come in together, but he was tripped by the people below when he asked about farming. Zhao San supported her forehead, she is good anywhere, just a little, her concentration is too strong.

I told him that if someone came to ask about farming, he could tell people everything in detail, Xiao Liu'er was right, everyone is really good.

However, the surrounding Zhuang Tou didn't believe what he said, and took Liu Ping as a liar. Now that it is easy to know the goods, the two of them can't help but become active again when they see that there is no danger to their lives.

After a brief introduction to the situation of Zhuangzi, Zhao San said, "I don't know if Gongzi has a field to cultivate?" Although this method is not perfect everywhere, it will never lead to a situation of no harvest due to the short cycle and large yield, especially in response to waterlogging or replanting in dry land. ”

Thinking of the displaced people along the way, Shui Yi did not directly refuse, and asked: "You just said that this thing can also be highly productive in the Northland, can I ask you to go to the Northland and guide the technique?" ”

Shui Yi is much better than Zhao Sansan, and he is a high-ranking person for a long time, and he is talking about it, but the meaning of his words is categorical.

Zhao San was afraid, pursed his lips and thought about it, probably guessing that someone might be sent behind him, so he said: "We came here a year ago and signed a lease agreement with the official office. ”

In and out of the words, he was asking, can he react upward, it is best to solve those bandits.

Otherwise, the said four or six accounts will become three or seven accounts at the end of the year, or three to seven by oneself, assets have shrunk out of thin air, and the government has not come forward to speak, and everyone will dare to be angry and dare not speak.

Seeing that the other party didn't squeak, Zhao San thought about it and added another ambiguous sentence: "Those people look at the origin is not small, if it is not good for the imperial court, won't we disgrace our ancestors?" ”

Rebelling against the imperial court, if it weren't for Xiao Liu telling her about the ancients, she wouldn't dare to think about it anyway, but now that she is pulling it out to be a tiger skin banner, Zhao San feels that she is getting more and more bold.

But everywhere in Jinling, bandits are entrenched, isn't this exactly the disadvantage of the imperial court.

After Zhao San and his family left, Shui Yi and Feng Bao looked at each other - they all knew that the bandits in Jinling were not bandits...... His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang were not convinced by each other, and they used this world as a target and attacked each other, not caring about the chaos outside, and each wanted to leave a good name in history.

"Your Highness, Lord Admiral asked me to bring you a message...... "Feng Bao period Ai Ai's little daughter-in-law looked at Shui Yi like a little daughter-in-law, and he dared to say it only when he nodded his head if he was disrespectful.

Sure enough, Shui Yi looked at him, with a questioning look, Feng Bao's heart was crossed, and he closed his eyes and said quickly: "If you don't move again, we will die!" ”

For the sake of that dragon chair, how many people centered on the East Palace, and their respective fates were closely linked. The road has gone ninety-nine steps, and if you become a founding hero, you will earn three more generations of wealth.

If it doesn't work, I'm afraid that the earthworms in the Nine Clans will have to be split vertically.

Shui Yi nodded, which was equivalent to giving Feng Bao a quasi-letter.

They are already in Jinling, and they see if the one in the palace has the ability to let him take a few detours.

This time Donggong wants to recover, how to turn the irregular into regular is a problem, and how to raise the subordinates after becoming regular is also a problem.

It is easy to turn black into white, but it is difficult to turn nothing into existence, but Jinling went to Yuzhuang, which has the highest yield per mu every year, and seems to have given them a glimmer of answers.

Zhao San and his wife returned to Zhuangzi, both of them trembled and cleaned up the house, seeing the spilled water marks, Zhao San breathed a sigh of relief, and said fearfully: "They seem to be people from the government, can we be saved?" ”

Liu Ping shook his head, Shicai was obviously very frightened, but his mind was haunted by his daughter-in-law's instructions, and he could only suppress the trembling by chattering and reporting to others.

I thought to myself, if that group of people is really from the government, the situation in front of them is definitely not a coincidence, which means that someone has noticed the situation of the bandits and asked so many things about food, maybe they are here to grab food!

The husband and wife were lying on the bed, tossing and turning.

"There is no food to grab in June......

In just seven or eight months, the bandits occupied Jinling and relied on the developed water system to transport it out, and in just seven or eight months, ten miles and eight townships had been looted, and corn was harvested at the end of August, and the first batch of sweet potatoes was harvested in early September.

Listening to the irregular breathing beside them, both of them knew that the other party was not asleep, "It seems that ......"

"It seems ......"

In the middle of the night, because of the fright of the day, let alone sleeping peacefully, even lying in bed has a feeling of discomfort. Sure enough, the two tacitly spoke.

Zhao San took the lead in giving in and said softly, "You speak first." ”

"It seems that there is a storm coming, shall we still make sweet potato sugar and sweet potato flour skin this year? Otherwise, everyone will be put away, but it will be a year of work in vain. Liu Ping never forgot what the two of them came to Jinling for, if it was just for those three melons and two dates, why did they leave their hometown thousands of miles away?

"Ouch!" As if he remembered something, Zhao San sat up from the bed, slapped it on his thigh, and said busily, "Quick, light the lamp, light the lamp and I'll show you something!" ”

Four or five pages of paper were spread out under the lamp, and the two people didn't recognize two of the words written, but the painting was understood, Zhao San said: "Do you remember that I said that rice fell from the sky?" ”

"Actually, I fell a few times after that, and I thought it was too weird, so I didn't dare to tell you. Now, I can't hide it anymore, that retort ...... I see that it was the carpenter of the king of Beijing who beat us, you say, is there a god to help us? Zhao San asked her husband eagerly, her eyes were full of hope, in fact, she had already trusted these pages in her heart.

There is no endless way, this is the will of God.

Seeing this, Liu Ping couldn't bear to splash his wife's cold water, so he nodded his head, afraid that the smile would stab the other party. I had to bow my head and carefully pick out the lights, and the dancing candlelight reflected on the faces of the two, and then began to talk about the rough processing of sweet potato flour cornmeal.

Jade millet is not resistant to storage, and if you are not careful, it will be easy to grow insects and mildew, and then the price will be greatly discounted.

If it is made into noodles, it can be transported to all directions, so that it does not have to be sold locally, and the price is lowered for nothing.

As soon as the sky was dark, the couple began to practice with old grain, and they heard the bells in the city ringing, but they were swaying and ringing for three days.

In this way, it is known that it is the emperor Yan.

Fortunately, this did not affect the rhythm of the peasants, but the bandits patrolling the mountains were more dense.

But on the fourth day, Zhao San heard the sound of armor rustling in the mountains in his sleep, which was very urgent, and then many surrounding farmers scattered. The city is also noisy and crying to go outside the city, if it weren't for the mountains and rivers facing Yuzhuang, I am afraid that there will be a stampede.

The couple sat on the roof with their robes on, watching the lights and dragons under the mountain, Liu Ping whispered: "Otherwise, let's go back to Beijing next year, the money ......."

It's so hard to earn.

There is always a danger to life, and the heroic ambition when they came has long been gone, and some are just frightened every day, and now they even have to hide in Tibet to do farm work.

In case there is a life to earn or not, the flowers are all in vain.

Zhao San persuaded him in a low voice, "Then there is no reason to leave now, the situation must be clear, otherwise we can't do anything about the bandits' nest stationed at the foot of the mountain." ”

said that it was a bandit den, in fact, Zhao San had long felt that there was something strange in it, who would the bandits promise to spend money to buy things with the Zhuang family at the end of the year, and directly the locusts crossed the border to rob you clean, and there was no reason to go.

The next day, the long-lost government official finally appeared, and it was Chen Baihu, who had known each other for a long time, who went to the outside of the city to count the losses.

Holding a thick notebook, followed by four or five men, some wearing the clothes of the yacha, some carrying the pants of the yacha, the six people could not make up two complete clothes, and the description was a little embarrassing.

As soon as Chen Baihu saw Liu Ping, he said: "You guys are really a treasure of feng shui here, last night they outflanked the thieves' nest, and those rabble dogs jumped over the wall and scrambled around. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Jinling to investigate the case, and the Emperor Taishang was funeral, grief and indignation, and deployed troops overnight to encircle and suppress, you can rest assured in the future. ”

As he spoke, he threw his hand into the air again, but when the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, two attendants behind Chen Baihu pursed their lips unnaturally.

And when Chen Baihu and Liu Ping returned from patrolling the fields, everyone's expressions were even more relaxed, and they praised the people of Zhuang again and again, and there was no loss at all.

Zhao San leaned against the door and listened to her husband and Chen Baihu discussing in a low voice.

"Tsk, didn't you see the ...... that was robbed last night? I, a person who didn't dare to kill chickens, gave two sticks to the bandits. ”

Liu Ping said: "What's wrong with this, now whose food is not life, how many places are green and yellow, and there are many people who are worried about eating, you go to the street to ask, and the guarantee praises you for this." ”

Although he couldn't see it, thinking of Liu Ping's serious thumbs up, Zhao San couldn't help but cover his mouth, he was used to bluffing.

"It's true, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to patrol the south, otherwise our prefect's hair would be gray! Come, I'll fill in some losses for you, and don't tell anyone. ”

"Hey, thank you, Brother Chen, you brought your brothers to me after you finished your errand, there are several pheasant nests on the mountain, let's go and serve it, my daughter-in-law's sister-in-law will make wine, and my daughter-in-law will also bring it, it's better than the outside, you say yes."

"Yes, yes, lord, there is a freedom that is not found in other places!"

Hundred households are different from thousands of households, the adults of thousands of households have more or less official status, and they are people of the imperial court, and the hundred households are equivalent to the village chief Li Zheng below. Of course, the rights are certainly much greater, but when there is no work to do, it is no different from that of a peasant.

Zhao San didn't expect to be favored, and as soon as the person left, she pulled Liu Ping and asked, "Do we really have a loss?" Isn't it okay to make false reports? ”

"Hahahaha." Liu Ping laughed heartily, grabbed Zhao San, and said freely: "My third sister, your family used to farm, do you know how to report the loss and then have compensation?" ”

Zhao San breathed a sigh of relief.
