Chapter 882
After three or five days like this, Lu Xiangsheng obeyed Zhang Shun's advice, dressed neatly, and sneaked out of Luoyang City to "tour the mountains and rivers".

In late spring and March, warblers fly and grass grows.Although the Heluo area is not in the south of the Yangtze River, it has already been covered with green trees and mixed with peanut trees.

There are also the Eight Scenic Spots of Luoyang here, which have always been famous. As long as Lu Xiangsheng has the heart, he can easily play for several days.

It's just that Lu Xiangsheng had just been imprisoned by the Rebel Army for more than three months, and was coaxed and tricked into joining the Rebel Army by Zhang Shunlian, so why would he want to play now?
"I heard that 'Late View of Mang Mountain' is quite famous. It's on Pingfeng Mountain in Mangshan Mountain. Would you like to take a look?" the servant Gu Xian couldn't help suggesting when he saw that Lu Xiangsheng was depressed.

"That's fine, there's nowhere to go anyway!" Lu Xiangsheng nodded, but his face showed no interest at all.

Gu Xian was bored, but he was not angry.

He just smiled and said, "What's the matter, master? Even though King Shun said he was born as a thief, he treated the master very politely!"

"It's ugly to be a thief, don't you know that there will be prosperity in the future?"

"How do you say that?" Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to say anything, but Yang Lukai, the head shepherd, couldn't help but answer.

"Don't you hear the saying 'If you want to be an official, kill and set fire and accept the order'?" Gu Xian said with a smile, "If the court can suppress it, it will be suppressed, if it can't be suppressed, it will be ordered, this is right!"

"Okay, don't talk about it!" Although Lu Xiangsheng was unwilling, now that he had changed his family, he couldn't comment on the rebels in the "Shunying" behind his back.

However, he is also grateful for the companionship of these two people, and it is to relieve himself.It's not easy to berate them bluntly, so I had to end this topic early.

Yang Lukai and Gu Xian also knew that it was not good to talk about "Shunying" behind their backs, so they stopped making a sound, and just quietly led the horse, accompanying Lu Xiangsheng.

Although the Heluo area is mountainous, the Heluo Basin is quite flat.

Lu Xiangsheng and the others came out of Luoyang City, looked up, and saw a flat plain, and the fields and crops were neatly arranged, like pieces of a chessboard, densely spread on the vast wilderness.

Scattered villages are also like chess pieces, scattered on the wilderness, which looks like a picture of farming wilderness.

Lu Xiangsheng was in a better mood, so he couldn't help suggesting: "Come with me to the village ahead!"

Where did Yang Lukai and Gu Xian disagree?The rest of the guards who followed Lu Xiangsheng out of the city to perform had nothing to say, so they walked all the way to a village in the distance.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Lu Xiangsheng got off his horse and saw an old farmer sitting on the ground holding a ladle to drink water from a bucket.

He went forward to salute, and said with a smile: "Old man is well, can I ask for a drink of water. I'll pay you for it!"

"You man, drink if you want to drink, and leave if you don't want to drink!" The old farmer said angrily, "I think you are also a sensible person, how can you say such stupid words!"

"I was the one to be rude!" Yang Lukai and Gu Xian saw this guy's bad attitude, and were about to step forward to scold him, but Lu Xiangsheng stretched out his hand to stop him, and apologized with a smile.

It turned out that when Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Yunyang, there were troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers, and most of the people were both civilians and bandits, which caused him quite a headache.

In the past, don't say to ask them for saliva, if they don't suddenly turn their backs and draw their swords and guns to take the opportunity to beg for their lives, then Lu Xiangsheng is lucky.

Now that he has come to this place with simple folk customs, he is still not used to it.

Lu Xiangsheng reached out and grabbed the ladle in the bucket, scooped it full, drank it, then handed it to Yang Lukai and Gu Xian, and asked with a smile: "Old man Guigeng, why are you not afraid of us when you see us?"

"Are you officers and soldiers, or what?" the old man said bluntly, "As long as you are soldiers of King Shun, and I have not offended you, how can I be afraid of you?"

"I have to ask, are you afraid that King Shun's military law will fail, and you dare to frighten my old man?"

"How about the officers and soldiers, and what about the rebel army?" Lu Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help asking.

"Officers and soldiers are like wolves and tigers. They only kill my little people and plunder my property. It's already stinks in the wind, and the cry can be heard for hundreds of miles!"

"And King Shun's soldiers never tortured or killed them. They came like passers-by and walked like pedestrians. They were silent and never disturbed the people!"

"Oh?" Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback when he heard the words. He has served as an imperial officer for so many years, and has also been in charge of military affairs in Daming Mansion, Yunyang Mansion and other places.

What kind of arrogant soldier has he never seen before?Never heard of such a team.

He couldn't help wondering: "Anyone who dares to fight is like a wolf and a tiger. The soldiers under King Shun are so honest and responsible, how can they be the opponents of officers and soldiers?"

"How do I know? I think it must be 'good people will be rewarded, and evil people will be rewarded', 'good and evil will eventually be rewarded'!" The old farmer didn't understand this, so he shook his head and guessed casually.

As the old farmer said, he looked up at the sun and couldn't help laughing: "I think you are a hit, wait a minute, I treat you to a good meal!"

As he said that, the old farmer picked up the rake at hand, went to the ground and waved it a few times, then leaned over and dug out some rhizome-like things.

After digging several times in a row, he discarded the rake and walked back with his arms in his arms.

The old man picked out one at random, waved his hand to Lu Xiangsheng as if offering a treasure, and said with a smile, "Guess what it is?"

"Sweet potato?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but lose his voice.

"You know it too?" The old farmer picked one out casually, scooped up a ladle of water to wash away the dirt, and gnawed on it.

While eating, he gave way: "You pick two pieces and eat them yourself!"

Lu Xiangsheng picked up a piece with a smile, saw that it was not as big as a fist, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you dig it? If it grows for a month or two, it should be so big, wouldn't it be a pity?"

As he asked, he gestured casually.

"Hey, I don't see that you are quite knowledgeable!" The old farmer couldn't help laughing, "This thing has a large yield, tens of stones per mu, twenty times better than that of planted grain."

"Under King Shun's rule, we have never had a shortage of food and drink, and the price of food is lower than elsewhere, and this food is enough to satisfy our hunger, so we don't cherish it very much."

"How much have you planted? I don't know how much the tax is?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but continued to ask.

"There is Susukida at home, and five or six acres of sweet potatoes have been planted. If there is no accident, it will produce two hundred shi in the middle of the year!" The old man laughed. Less, the rest will be enough for half a year."

"Isn't this low?" Lu Xiangsheng asked strangely.

"It's really not low, but the rebels expropriate in kind, unlike the government. They have to sell money and then pay, and they lose a lot!"

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, and suddenly understood Zhang Shun's intentions.

He has also stayed in Yunyang for a long time, and he also knows something about the things that the mountain people in the Jingxiang mountains grow, and he only regards it as a rare thing.

If he hadn't seen this thing transplanted here today, he would not have thought of promoting it to other places at all.

Since ancient times, there is nothing good about life.If it were King Shun, he would vigorously promote high-yield products and restore the law of grain collection in the early days of the country, which would be a great good governance to stabilize the people.
