Before I knew it, two years have passed.

Because of Emperor Ling's inaction, coupled with constant disasters, dark officialdom, and the exploitation of the people of aristocratic families led to more and more chaos in the world. The situation of changing children and eating was spread all over the world, and the people were in danger of peace and mourning.

In the past two years, a great wise and good teacher appeared in Hebei, who created the Taiping Road and often used talisman paper to save people, and there were many believers.

Although Zuo Xiaoyou sat at home, he could also understand the general trend of the world from the news sent back by students from all over the country.

It is obvious that Zhang Jiao is going to make trouble.

In addition, Zuo Xiaoyou also learned one thing: this world is different from reality. Those who are divine and divine are really capable of calling the wind and rain, and sprinkling beans into soldiers.

It is very clear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that great wise men often use magic to defeat the regular army of the court. Liu Guan and Zhang used black dog blood to crack Zhang Jiao's spells, and Kong Ming, who is smart and close to monsters, even sought Dongfeng and tried to use the seven-star lamp to extend his life. Therefore, this world is more or less mythical.

Zuo Xiaoyou deliberately used his spiritual sense to observe the structure of the world and found that there were no gods in the world, but some strange people in this world do have the ability to activate the power of heaven and earth for their own use, which is quite interesting.

However, the triggering of these mysterious forces requires advance preparation, but these strange people do not have strong force. Without preparing in advance, even ordinary people can kill them with one knife.

This is how Yu Ji was killed by Sun Ce.

But in the turmoil of the world, there was a quiet place in the north of the Han Dynasty. People here were full and warm, with bricks and tiles to protect themselves from the wind and rain, and lived a peaceful and comfortable life every day.

This place is a large village under the southern Jizhou area.

In the past two years, many refugees have come to Nanpi. These refugees are all miserable people who have suffered disasters in their hometown and have to escape, but many places cannot accommodate them at all.

Some of the more ruthless people become bandits, while some of the less ruthless people can only eat them, but in the end they cannot escape the fate of starving to death.

Only the village in Nanpi was swallowed up when nearly ten thousand refugees flocked in.

A place with a scale of tens of thousands of people can no longer be called a village. In this era, there were 80 households in one mile and 6 people per household, so there were about four or five hundred people per mile, and there was one person in the village, similar to the modern street office director, and there was a pavilion leader, which was equivalent to the modern township leader. Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was born as a pavilion leader.

There are about four or five thousand people in a pavilion, and now there are more than 10,000 people in the village here, which is equivalent to the size of two pavilions. However, it can still be called a pavilion, which is the size of a township.

Why can this village swallow nearly 10,000 refugees in one go? Because in the past ten years, the village has been growing very high-yield crops, such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes.

The yield of these crops is more than ten times that of today's crops, so a village with more than a thousand people has grown ten times the yield before, storing food that cannot be eaten for more than ten years, and absorbing eight times the refugees who are now.

However, food is easy to solve, and the biggest problem is the house. These refugees can only live in simple sheds for the time being, but a well-known gentry in the local area invested in building houses, building bridges and paving roads, and getting wages for working every day. With this wage, you can buy daily necessities in the village to improve your life.

The gentry also promised them that after the house is built, they could live in, and even give them land and seeds to give them food to support themselves. However, they would take out 10% of the grain every year to pay the mortgage. As long as they pay it back for twenty years, the house would be completely owned by them.

This is completely for free. The refugees have never seen such a kind person. They work very hard every day, and they just hope that they can repay the kindness of the gentry as soon as possible.

This gentry is naturally Zuo Xiaoyou. Over the years, Zuo Xiaoyou has been so famous that the local county magistrates dare not take any advice. In addition, Zuo Xiaoyou often gives benefits to the county magistrates, so the villagers are not exploited.

To put it bluntly, the people in power in this village are Zuo Xiaoyou, and the county magistrate cannot take charge of it. So Zuo Xiaoyou dared to take the courage to swallow more than 9,000 refugees in one breath. With these refugees, Zuo Xiaoyou will increase his reputation faster and faster, and even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across Hebei two years later, it will ensure that this place will become a paradise.

Because these refugees were employed to work, the place became more popular. Some nearby small vendors would also come here with shoulder poles to sell things, making this place gradually a place to trade.

In September of that year, a big man with red face came to sell dates with a cart.

The market in front of me was completely different from that outside. Everyone here looked rosy and had a smile, which was completely different from the people outside, which shocked the big blushing man.

"What do you sell that man?" asked a hawker selling tea on the roadside.

"Red dates." said the big red-faced man: "It was just beaten, sweet and crisp."

"I don't care what you sell, find a place where there is no one on the roadside, don't block the way." The tea vendor said, "Didn't you see that we are all on both sides!"

"Oh?" The big man with red face looked at it. It was true that all the vendors selling things were lined up on both sides of the road, and none of them were on the road.

"Thank you." The big red-faced man clasped his fists and pushed the cart to the open space on the roadside not far away. He opened the bag of dates and sat silently.

But after a long time, other vendors sold things, but he didn't sell a single date, but instead ate more than a dozen of them by the test, but he still didn't buy them after eating, which made the blushing man very depressed.

A small vendor selling peaches next to him was kind-hearted and laughed: "Brother, is it the first time I'm here?"

The big blushing man glanced at him and nodded: "Yes."

"You can't do this." The vendor shook his head and said, "Looking at your arrogant look, as if someone asks you for something to buy, even if you want to buy it, you won't buy it. You have to greet people with a smile and be kind to customers. Customers are our parents of food and clothing. How can you do this attitude towards your own parents? Do you think this is the reason?"

The big blushing man was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. But... he used to sell dates elsewhere, and he always looked like this, and someone still bought his dates. Why didn't it work if he got here?

"Thank you, brother." Although I couldn't figure it out, the big blushing man was very kind and said thank you with his fists.

"No need to thank you, I learned from others." The vendor smiled and waved his hand: "Remember, smiley people, people here don't eat other people's bad faces."

The big man blushed nodded and tried to show a smile to welcome the guests, but the big man's smile was very stiff and his expression looked very funny. This made the passers-by laugh, and there was a little girl who was seven or eight years old and had a stomachache: "You are so ugly!"

The blushing man's smile became even stiffer.
