0066 [Take over the cottage]

A basket of garlic, all mashed, in more than twenty bowls.

There is not much warm water in the bowl, just just minced garlic.

After the mixing, Han Zhen advised: "After a quarter of an hour, feed Wang Wu and them a bowl of garlic water." After that, feed another bowl every other hour. If you have fever symptoms and feel dizzy and uncomfortable, you can also drink garlic water. ”

"We get it."

Zhang He and the others nodded.

Allicin is a good thing, with good bactericidal effect and no drug resistance.

Even fungi that antibiotics such as penicillin cannot target can be effective.

The only drawbacks are that they are unstable, not easy to store, and the high cost of extraction, which may be the reason why penicillin is not as widespread as penicillin in later generations.

Wait until later to make a set of distillation equipment and steam some high-strength liquor.

Not only can it clean wounds, but it can also be used to purify allicin.

After giving the order, Han Zhen turned his head to Nie Dong and said, "You can bring a few bowls over." ”

"Thank you, Xiaolang-kun!"

Nie Dong already had seven points of faith in garlic in his heart at this time, and he sincerely hugged his fists and thanked him.

Han Zhen smiled slightly: "I am also acquainted with Wei Da, let's go over and talk together." ”

"Xiao Langjun recognizes Brother Wei?" Nie Dong was stunned for a moment, and said in a surprised tone.

Han Zhen nodded and walked in front of the deserter with Nie Dong.

Looking at Wei Da, whose face was pale and lying flat on the table, Han Zhen quipped: "Wei Da, are there any horses for sale?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Da slowly opened his eyes.

After seeing Han Zhen clearly, the corners of his mouth tried to pull up a smile: "Yes, there are quite a few." ”

Wei Da sighed in his heart at this moment, he didn't expect the young man who bought the horse to turn around and save himself again.

It's really unpredictable.

If it wasn't for Han Zhen buying a horse, I was afraid that he and his brothers would have to go hungry, and after all, he owed two favors.

Seeing that his tone was weak, Han Zhen stopped chatting and advised: "You are so resting, come to me if you need it." ”

"Thank you!"

Wei Dao thanked him.

The other deserters had a good impression of Han Zhen, and at this moment they felt that he was a good man who was bold and righteous.

Returning to the wide chair, Han Zhen beckoned to the corner.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang hurriedly stood up, but because he had been squatting for too long, his legs were numb, and he fell and ate.

Resisting the pain, he got up, only to see him drag his numb legs and limp over.

Han Zhen asked, "What's it called?" ”

"The small one's name is Zhang Yi, a native of Qiancheng County, who originally made a living as a storyteller in Qiancheng County. Because he offended the big households in the county, he had no choice but to come to Zi County to beg for food. Unexpectedly, on the way here, I was robbed by Shi Bao to go up the mountain, and Shi Bao saw that I could read and write, so he didn't kill me......"

Han Zhen only asked for a name, but Zhang Yi dragged it out like pouring beans.

At the end, he emphatically mentioned: "Xiao Langjun, I have really never done anything that hurts nature and reason, although I am a three-in-command, I am not as good as a small leader, and I help them tell stories and relieve boredom on weekdays." ”

This is true, the big and small leaders in the village call him Mr. Zhang, but in fact, he doesn't count him at all in his heart, just as a happy person when he is bored.

"How many escapees are there in the stockade?" Han Zhen picked up the horse lance, held a piece of linen cloth in his hand, and wiped it carefully.

"About 1,200 people."

"How many acres of land?"

"Less than a thousand acres."

So little?

The per capita cultivated area is less than one acre of land.

There are too few of them, and if you want to turn this place into a grain growing land, you need at least 5,000 acres of land.

Han Zhen groaned: "I'll give you an errand, if it's done, I can spare your life." ”

Hearing that he could live, Zhang Yi dared to ask what the errand was, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Please Xiaolangjun be relieved, the little one must do his best." ”

Han Zhen instructed: "Go find some paper and pen." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Yi nodded busily, and then hurriedly went to find a pen and paper.

Shi Bao robbed the official road I don't know how many times, and he would always grab some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, these things were useless to them, and they were all given to Zhang Yi in the end.

After a while, Zhang Yi came back, and returned to the lobby with him, as well as Yuan Chuliu and Ma Sangou.

Seeing that the two of them were in a mess, with muddy water on their hair and clothes, Han Zhen frowned and said, "Why are you so embarrassed?" ”

Ma Sangou explained: "There were a few bandits who were mixed up in the fugitives and wanted to get through the customs in the muddle, but they were discovered by us. ”

"Are you alright?"

Han Zhen said with concern.

Ma Sangou explained with an embarrassed face: "It's okay, those bandits have been frightened, and they just ran away, and when I was chasing and killing, I accidentally tripped and fell." ”

At this time, Yuan Chuliu on the side bowed down and said, "Xiao Langjun, I have summoned the fugitives." ”

"Come with me."

Han Zhen stood up and strode towards the door.

The rain outside had stopped for some time, and a few rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell into golden pillars of light.

Outside the lobby, a crowd of black people gathered.

Yuan Chuliu came behind him and whispered: "Xiao Langjun, I counted it just now, there are a total of eight hundred and sixty-three people, and there are many escapees who have taken advantage of the chaos. ”

These fugitives were ragged and thin, and many of the men were exposed to their chests, and they could clearly see ribs one by one, fearing that a gust of wind would blow them down.

Think about it, two bowls of gruel a day, it's good to survive.

The fugitives looked at him with fear, apprehension, but more numbness.

It seems that for them, the cottage has nothing to do with them.

After all, how bad can it be?

In addition, Han Zhen found a group of women and children wearing silk and silver ornaments in the crowd.

At this moment, they were looking at him with panicked faces.

Thinking that it should be the family members of Shi Bao and the others, Han Zhen ignored it and asked sideways: "How did Shi Bao treat these fugitives before?" ”

Without waiting for Yuan Chuliu to speak, Zhang Yi replied first: "Xiao Langjun, Shi Bao asked them to help farm the land and provide two bowls of gruel every day. ”

Han Zhen nodded and said loudly: "From today onwards, the cottage will be under my control!" ”

The crowd was silent, and there was no reaction from the fleeers.

"The old rule remains the same, two bowls of gruel a day. However, starting next year, the land will be changed to rent, and 80% of the rent will be paid per mu of land. In addition, the barren land cultivated by itself needs to pay 70% of the rent. ”

Wow!

At this moment, the escapees finally reacted.

The originally numb eyes regained their brilliance, and they looked at Han Zhen in disbelief.

Eighty percent of the rent is a lot, and it can even be said to be very harsh, but this is a big step for the fugitives.

Let them turn from serfs to tenants.

The most important thing is that they are allowed to open up their own wasteland, and only 70% of the rent is collected for the fields they cultivate.

Although it is still two bowls of gruel a day, the escapees see hope that at least after paying the rent, there will be some food left.

For a while, there was a burst of discussion in the crowd.

These fugitives are different from the villagers of Xiaowang Village, at that time, Han Zhen had just killed officials and rebelled, and if he wanted to occupy Xiaowang Village, it was not enough to rely on force to deter, he had to give the villagers enough sweetness and tie them up with himself.

At the moment, these escapees are a different story.

To put it mildly, the slightly bold escaper had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

The rest of them are all eggless cowards, who have completely accepted the identity of serfs and just want to survive.

So give a little benefit, and you will be grateful to Dade.

Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu.

Slowly improve their treatment in the future.

Shi Bao's method of making them work hard to farm is to kill people, and if the escapees don't want to die, they will naturally work hard to farm.

Han Zhen's method was much softer.

If you want to eat more food and survive the cold winter, you will roll up for your grandfather, work hard to farm, and reclaim wasteland.

The more fields that are cleared, the more grain will be harvested.
