Chapter 78: Leeches
Yunfeng quickly supported the old farmer and did not let him kowtow. Although Yunfeng had long been accustomed to this superior status, from a modern point of view, accepting the kowtow of an old man old enough to be his grandfather would
That would bring about divine punishment and shorten your lifespan, at least Yunfeng thinks so.
She glanced at Su Qizhen's butt accusingly, and the meaning in her eyes was self-evident. The woman couldn't help but tense up somewhere, and immediately put her legs together and remained silent.
Yunfeng then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and advised softly: "Old man, please don't do this. Please get up quickly."
But the old farmer's knees seemed to be sucked into the mud. In desperation, Yunfeng had to use a little strength to lift him up, but there was still a look of fear on his face and his lips were trembling.
Shaking his head secretly, Yunfeng turned to the other people and persuaded him: "Everyone, get up. This general doesn't like this. Let's stand up and talk." Sure enough, it was better to put on an official tone, and the people stood up one after another timidly.
rise
Yunfeng felt that he had to find a breakthrough to communicate normally with these people. After thinking about it, he asked: "Folks, is the land allocated by the county still enough for farming? Is the tax system satisfactory? If you have any comments,
Even though you may not understand me well and dare not say anything to me, in Liangzhou, the local people regard me as their relative, so please don’t be restrained and feel free to do so.”
Yunfeng's words are not too exaggerated. Although the people in Liangzhou are not as good as he boasted, they are indeed more kind to him than in awe. However, the people in Hanzhong still look at me and I look at you.
With a look of hesitation, Yunfeng could only turn to the old farmer and call him by name: "Old man, just tell me, don't worry, no matter what you say, I will never blame you."
The old farmer had caught a young man, so he had to say it without saying anything. He hesitated for a long time, and said in his heart: "General, I am originally from Tianshui. I fled to Hanzhong due to famine in my hometown more than 20 years ago. I originally opened a piece of land to cultivate it, but it was not easy to cultivate it."
The fields were ripe, but they were usurped by the chiefs, and they became slaves. It wasn't until the general came to Hanzhong that he told the truth and the general divided the land and reduced the rent. Everyone was grateful, but I don't know how long this land can be cultivated."
The old farmer asked vaguely, but Yunfeng understood what he meant. He was afraid that the land would be gone in a few years and he couldn't help laughing: "Have you got the land deed? What are you afraid of when you have the land deed? That's yours, no one else's
If someone dares to rob your land, you can report it to the government. Once verified, we will not tolerate it."
Then he waved his hands and said loudly: "Fellows, just rest assured and farm. Except for the taxes that should be paid, the rest will be your private property. Even if the county government needs grain and rice, it will be purchased from everyone at the market price and will never be robbed."
People’s wealth, in addition to raising ducks in rice fields, you can apply for ducklings from the local government in five days. I will start the matter when I return today. Don’t worry. You can repay the price of ducklings with grain and rice during the autumn harvest. No more harvest will be done.”
After repeated repetitions, everyone turned from doubtful to relieved. They all thanked gratefully, but no one dared to kneel down anymore. Yunfeng was also very satisfied with the effect. Such a good opportunity must be struck while the iron is hot, but
Nothing could be wasted, so he continued to persuade: "Folks, have you ever thought about it? You can only make ends meet just by farming. How can we
Don’t you want to have money? If you want to make a living, you have to start a side job. Hanzhong is rich in products. This is a golden mountain. You have to make full use of it. For example, the bamboo in the mountain can be woven into handicrafts and organized into a trading company to sell them.
Qin and Liangzhou, the extra rice, poultry and eggs you have can be collected and sold...
I am not a local in Hanzhong, so naturally I don’t know as much as you guys. I can only think of these for the time being. If you have any good ideas, you can submit them to the government. Once adopted, you will be rewarded.
Of course, Hanzhong also has disadvantages. It is closed on all sides and it is inconvenient to travel. However, as long as you have confidence, all difficulties can be overcome. The county government will also start to rebuild the access roads within two or three years to make it easier for the villagers to travel.
, I believe that the days of us Hanzhong people will become more and more prosperous, don’t you think so?
..."
With Yunfeng's rhetoric, more and more villagers gathered around, and the atmosphere was completely ignited. The scene was full of excitement, and everyone's face was filled with excitement. It's no wonder that many people hugged each other and cried on the spot.
, for decades, I have never been treated as a human being, but now I meet Yunfeng, who "loves the people like a son", how can you not be moved?
Next, Yunfeng taught some things that need to be paid attention to when raising ducks in rice fields. First, the rice fields should be enclosed to prevent cats, dogs, weasels and other animals from intruding. After about ten days of transplanting the rice seedlings, the ducklings can be raised in them, but
The ducks must be taken away during earing, as well as other issues such as stocking density, water depth and feeding, which made the common people suddenly enlightened and all nodded their heads.
The results of this trip to the fields were better than Yunfeng expected. Seeing that the people had mastered the essentials, he handed over his hands and said: "Folks, everyone is busy. I have other important matters. I will take my leave now.
I’ll come visit you again later in the day when I have time.”
"General, walk slowly"
"Farewell General"
.......
Amidst the reluctant farewells of the people, Yunfeng and Su Qizhen walked towards the field ridge.
Just as she set foot on the field and was about to put on her shoes and socks, "Ah!" suddenly, Su Qizhen screamed repeatedly, with a look of horror on her face, her body trembled violently, and then she fell limply as if she had lost all her strength.
Leaning on Yunfeng
Yunfeng quickly stretched out his arms and hugged her. When he looked down, he almost laughed out loud. It turned out that Su Qizhen's pair of muddy feet had actually absorbed several thick and black locusts.
"General, hurry up, hurry up and help get rid of the last general." Su Qizhen's cry for help was full of fear and despair.
Yunfeng held Su Qizhen in his arms, stretched out his hand and patted her instep a few times. Suddenly, these fat-bellied guys fell to the ground one after another and took out a piece of cloth to wipe her feet clean.
However, Su Qizhen did not get any better. Her head was still buried deep in Yunfeng's arm. Her delicate body was shaking one after another. Her fingers tightly grasped Yunfeng's arm, and her knuckles were broken due to excessive force.
Turned white and looked charming
Yunfeng secretly marveled, is this still the ruthless woman who kills without batting an eye, disemboweling her body without even frowning? How could she be frightened like this by a few tiny locusts?
But when I think about it, I feel relieved. Women are generally afraid of strange-shaped animals, especially soft and slimy animals, such as mice, snakes, etc. Su Qizhen is a pure northern woman, and she has never seen such disgusting and ugly bugs?
As for why the leech didn't sting Yunfeng? It's very simple. He is now a master of Danjin, and his energy has reached a level where a feather cannot fall, and flies cannot add to it. Any leech that approaches will be automatically shocked to death. Farmers
We are not afraid and deal with this guy every day, so Su Qizhen suffered a tragedy
After figuring it out, Yunfeng lowered his head and glanced at Su Qizhen, who was huddled up in his arms. In fact, it was quite comfortable to hold a beautiful woman. If Su Qizhen didn't object, Yunfeng would be willing to carry her back to the city. However, there were still people around.
There were so many pairs of eyes looking at them, so they had to pay attention to the impact, so they had to pat her with a trace of reluctance: "Qizhen, um... the leech has been removed, shall we go back?"
Su Qizhen nodded slightly and pushed Yunfeng with her slender hands. Yunfeng put her down deliberately. As soon as she let go, Su Qizhen couldn't stand upright. Yunfeng quickly hugged her waist from behind so that she could lean on him.
Su Qizhen took a few deep breaths and then reluctantly put on her shoes and socks, but her pretty face was still as pale as paper. Obviously, this little black bug still made her feel lingering fear.
After finally getting dressed, Su Qizhen felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment. When she curled up in Yunfeng's arms just now, she felt very warm, very safe, and had a faint sense of happiness. Her heart could not help but beat wildly. She
You can even hear the thumping sound of your heart beating violently
But what happened to her that year flashed in her mind, making her mood dim. She sighed quietly, stood up straight, and said expressionlessly: "General, let's go back." After saying that, she got on her horse.
, Yiqi Juechen
Yunfeng shook his head. He clearly felt the changes in Su Qi in this short moment, and understood that she had not yet come out of the shadow of the past, and it seemed that she would have to do it again slowly.
After galloping all the way, they soon returned to Junya. Yunfeng immediately sent someone to handle the matter of lending ducks to farmers, and sent garrison troops to help install fences for the paddy fields. Everything was arranged properly. He turned to Su Qizhen and called out: "Qizhen
Zhen, come with me."
Su Qizhen couldn't help but think of Yunfeng's unkind eyes in the paddy field, she secretly screamed that something was wrong, and followed Yunfeng reluctantly.
Yunfeng took Su Qizhen to a side hall, sat down and asked: "Qizhen, do you know what you did wrong today?"
Su Qizhen lowered her head and said solemnly: "The last general...the last general should not reveal the general's identity in front of the people."
Yunfeng chuckled: "As long as you know, tell me, how should I punish you?"
Su Qizhen's expression changed, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's up to the general to handle it."
Yunfeng hooked his hand: "Come, come here."
Su Qizhen walked carefully to Yunfeng's side, with a hint of sadness and grievance in her beautiful eyes.
Yunfeng pointed to his side: "Sit down facing me." Su Qizhen did as she was told, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger.
Yunfeng pointed to his thigh again: "Qizhen, get down, I'm going to punish you."
Suddenly, Su Qizhen's pretty face turned red. She knew what kind of punishment she was about to face and quickly begged: "General, I will finally realize my mistake. I will never dare to do it again next time."
How could Yunfeng let such a good opportunity to take advantage go to waste? Besides, he has a reputation as a teacher, so he immediately said with a straight face: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished, hurry up."
Su Qizhen secretly glanced at Yunfeng, and saw that his face was serious, with a bit of awe-inspiring righteousness. She cursed hypocrisy in her heart, but she couldn't disobey her orders, so she could only look at him resentfully, bit her silver teeth, and exuded a look of death.
The tragic momentum of generosity and sacrifice rested on this man's lap (to be continued)
