Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 346
He thought he was a veteran, and he thought he had good physical strength... The end result was that the self-righteous Li Shan could only lie on the carriage and go to the next village after six consecutive days of exhaustion.

The comfort of riding in a carriage in this era... Well, the word comfort is wrong, and the buttocks are all swollen. If it weren't for the waist that couldn't stand it, Li Shan would never choose to lie in the carriage.

"One or two days is enough to buy people's hearts." Ma Zhou, who was also lying in the carriage, asked desperately, "How many more days?"

For the past six days, Li Shan went to the fields every day, and Ma Zhou could only follow behind... Li Shan was paralyzed from exhaustion, and Ma Zhou felt that he didn't belong to him anymore.

Li Shan didn't even bother to refute this guy's dark speculation of buying people's hearts, so he directly answered the latter question, "Twelve on this road."

Ma Zhou wailed and hammered down the carriage, that is to say, it will take at least twelve days!

In fact, it was far more than twelve days. In the previous six days, only four villages were killed, and the young and strong who had nothing to do, killed two villages. There are still more than 30 villages that are being seized.

Although thanks to Li Shan's command arrangement, more and more young and strong men are free, but the remaining tasks are still extremely arduous... But at the same time, Li Shan's reputation is getting higher and higher, and he is willing to follow his lead. There are more and more young people behind them.

The bad news is that we don't know when the harvest will be finished, and there is no news of the war in Yanmen. It depends on the situation. It will be difficult for the peasants to return home.

The good news is that it will not rain for the time being... This is the unanimous voice of many old farmers who are good at observing the weather, but Li Shan is skeptical about it.

The carriage finally stopped, Li Shan rubbed his numb buttocks, got out of the car with difficulty, only glanced at it, and gasped... This field is a bit big, you can't see the edge at a glance!

"Greetings to Mingfu." Several old men saluted respectfully.

One of the old men with chicken skin and white hair smiled and said: "It is said in the whole county that I have never seen such parents. With such benevolence, he will surely be a famous minister in the Riming Mansion."

The old man at the side introduced: "This is the Duke of Julu County, Duke He Lou."

Li Shan was a little confused, and Ma Zhou, who got out of the carriage and supported his waist, had a serious expression, leaned into Li Shan's ear and whispered: "The former Sui famous general He Lou Zigan is indeed a native of Dai County, governor of Sanzhou, and two ministers. , defeated Turkic and Tuyuhun successively, and was granted the title of Duke of Julu County, this should be his son."

Only then did Li Shan suddenly realize, no wonder he didn't hear Ling Jing and Li Shimin mention it before coming here, it turned out to be the Duke of Julu County in the former Sui Dynasty.

But no one has mentioned it before, and it is estimated that it has already fallen.

But then Ma Zhou added, "He Lou Ziqian was the governor of Yunzhou."

Li Shan nodded slightly, and took two steps forward, "The boy is still young, and he doesn't know the elders, so don't be surprised if you still hope."

Be respectful, even if you lose, but He Lou Ziqian was once the general manager of Yunzhou... and Yuan Junzhang's lair in Yunzhou will be one of the main targets next.

Thinking of this, Li Shan's face became a little more gentle, and he talked with He Lou Shanzhu with a smile.

He Lou Shanzhu glanced at the personal guards who came with Li Shan, and there was an endless line of young and strong people who couldn't see the end behind them. Dare to fight, so these years have been restless, but this young county magistrate used such means to be gentle... It is conceivable how grateful thousands of people will be to Li Shan after returning home.

Although he had been in corvée for many days, he could avoid taxes, but he missed the autumn harvest, and the next year would be difficult.

"Mingfu has been exhausted for many days, let's rest for now..."

"Thank you for the elder's kindness, but there is no need." Li Shan said with a wry smile, "If today's work is beautiful, if every few days..."

He Lou Shanzhu sighed, and beckoned a young man, "This is my eldest grandson, He Lou Xingshu."

He Lou Xingshu saluted respectfully, "Greetings to the Ming Palace."

Li Shan was a little startled, I haven't done anything well yet, you're about to join me?

When will I have a day when someone else just bows to me? !
Obviously, He Lou Shanzhu wanted to hand over his grandson He Lou Xing to Li Shan.

Without thinking about it for a while, Li Shan only asked a few words, and went down to the field with a sickle in his hand. In fact, he didn't really feel tired when he went to the field...it was already numb.

It was only when he rested that his whole body became stiff and his waist ached unbearably.

"Ming Mansion also did farming?" He Lou Xingshu next door asked curiously, this is a young man of sixteen or seventeen, with a tall nose and broad face, he looks to be in his twenties.

"Six days in a row, five hours a day." Li Shan raised his arm and wiped his sweat, looked at the sparse cuts in the ridge next door, and asked casually, "You don't do farming on weekdays?"

"Ye Ye taught me that I practiced riding and shooting diligently in the past." He Lou Xingshu said loudly, "Within seventy steps, there is absolutely no deviation."

Li Shan asked a few more questions with a smile, and understood in his heart.

He Lou's family was a prominent family in the former Sui Dynasty. He Lou Dao, the great ancestor of He Lou Xingshu, became an official in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his family moved to Guanyou, which is today's Longxi Road, and later Gansu.

He Lou Dao became an official and became a servant, his son He Lou Jingxian became a general of Youwei, and He Lou Ziqian served first in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and later in the Sui Dynasty. He had a very high reputation during the Kaihuang period. It's a pity that he died too early, before Yang Jian.

It has been several decades now, and the He Lou clan has not produced any outstanding figures, and it inevitably gradually declined. During the Daye period, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty moved his capital to Luoyang, and He Lou Shanzhu simply moved back to Dai County.

Obviously, He Lou Shanzhu took a fancy to Li Shan and pinned his hope of family revitalization on this.

why me?
Over the years, Chen Xiaoyi, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Yuan Junzhang, Li Daen, Liu Shirang, Li Gaoqian, Gao Manzheng... no matter what position they hold, they are all extraordinary people. Why do they cling to me?
This doubt has been circling in his mind until he was resting, when Li Shan saw that most of the Helou people who came up were young men aged [-] or [-], and young people who were only about [-] years older, he faintly came to his senses. .

Those characters all have a team, are old, and have qualifications... and I, the acting county magistrate, are young and weak, and they happen to meet each other.

After chatting casually for a while, Li Shan quickly picked a person. He was a very clever young man with rolling eyes and was quite familiar with Yunzhou... The words were a bit cryptic, but Li Shan probably guessed that he was a smuggler of.

"Originally, half of the harvest was harvested. This time, the Ming Palace has brought in nearly [-] young adults. At most, the work can be completed tomorrow."

"Thank you Mingfu..."

Amidst the gibberish of words, there was suddenly the sound of hasty horseshoes.

Li Shan took a glance, then got up abruptly, it was Du Xiao who came... These days, Du Xiao has been waiting for the battle report at Yanmen.

Taking a few steps forward, Li Shan asked in a low voice, "How is the battle going?"

"No battle report." Du Xiao looked confused, and took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, "A personal letter from Daizhou Sima Liu Gong."

Li Shan was very surprised, he hadn't met him until now, why did he send a letter suddenly?

After opening it and looking at it, Li Shan's eyes flickered, and he handed it to Ma Zhou who came over.

Before Ma Zhou could speak, Li Shan had already summoned the crowd.

"Call the guards and rush to Mayi immediately." Li Shan glanced at Wang Junhao, "Choose thirty personal guards to accompany him, Zhu Ba and Shitou will be responsible for the rest, and lead the personal guards to continue to snatch them."

After all the arrangements were made, Li Shan looked at Ma Zhou, "Brother Bin Wang should stay."

Seeing Li Shan winking over, Ma Zhou nodded slightly, no matter whether it was to continue to grab the money or discuss other matters before, he needed to preside over them.

At this time, the elderly He Lou Shanzhu rushed over, "Mingfu is going to Mayi?"

"Daizhou Sima Liu Gong is calling." Li Shan said briefly.

"Xingshu is proficient in bow and horse, and is familiar with the terrain. Please also ask Mingfu to take him with you."

Li Shan was speechless, so impatient?
