Mr. Yangui

Chapter 164 Chapter [-]
Goushengzi has a decent name, Hu Qianyong.

His father, Hu Benlu, fought in Liangzhou many years ago and was seriously injured. His right leg was cut three times. His superiors praised him for his courage, so he named his son Hu Qianyong.

After being injured, Hu Benlu couldn't continue to eat as a soldier, so he was arranged by the court to this Zhuangzi. Over the years, his life has not been very good, but being able to guard his wife and son to live a life, compared to other miserable people, is also a kind of Lucky.

Although he hasn't read any books, he is quite a man of backbone. He always teaches his son Qian Yong that people are poor and ambitious, and they can't do such criminal things. Living with teeth, I seldom beg others, let alone steal.

Hu Benlu's wife has fallen ill these days, but it's not actually a disease, it's just that she's hungry.

Hu Qianyong is a good and filial boy, although he is very timid, but for the sake of his mother, he went to the farm owner's house and stole two bags of grain. After he came back, he said that he was willing to accept any punishment from his father, but he had to cook for his mother first.

Hu Benlu was so sad that he couldn't bear to beat his son, so he scolded him and made porridge for his wife. After a few bowls of thick porridge, his wife finally regained her vitality.

He silently thought in his heart that when the grain was harvested in the field, he would return it to the owner. At this time, he must not let anyone find out. He really couldn't afford to lose this person.

But what to be afraid of.

The next morning, when Hu Benlu was about to go out to collect firewood, several strong men came to his house.

Although there are more than 1000 people in Zhuangzi, most of them are old people, women and children, and there are not many men. Most of them have seen Hu Benlu, and they can all be called by name. He instantly judged that these people in his family were not from Zhuangzi. people.

It's broken. Could it be that Goushengzi was discovered when he was stealing food?

Are you here now?
The person who came was Fat Bear and several brothers.

Fat Bear kept in mind the instructions Li Wuchang gave him in the morning, showed a smile, and said, "Excuse me, is this elder brother Hu Benlu?"

Seeing that the attitude of the visitor was not bad, Hu Benlu replied, "Yes, how many are there?"

Fat Bear smiled and said: "Brother Hu, I am the follower of the new owner. You can call me Fat Bear. This time I am here to give benefits to Brother Hu. Our owner will not be here until a few days later, and asked us to give money to the farmers. Give some gifts, it's a way to get to know each other."

Then the opponent said: "Bring it up."

Huben Road was a little inexplicable, and I saw a man lift a sack from their car, which seemed to be grain.

Fat Xiong explained: "The owner of the village learned about the situation of Zhuangzi before we came, and gave some benefits by the way. After we came, we decided to give each person [-] catties of grain first. Brother Hu, don't think it's too little, because the population is large, and the Zhuangzi's population is too small. The Lord’s Mansion doesn’t have that much food in stock, so let’s just think about it first, there are three people in your family, so you can send out sixty catties, where do you think it should be stored? I’ll move it in for you.”

Facing the smiling Fat Bear, Hu Benlu was stunned for a while.

what's the situation?
And such good things?

However, he is someone who has been on the battlefield after all, and he can be considered to have seen some of the world. After a moment of stunned, he came back to his senses and said weakly: "The welfare of the new owner? Not good, you will not be rewarded for nothing."

Fat Xiong said: "Brother Hu, don't refuse. Firstly, it's just a little bit of interest from the owner of the villa, and there's not much to offer. Second, he also wants to ask Brother Hu to do some things, so it's not considered a reward for nothing."

Hu Benlu couldn't figure out the situation, so he murmured, "I don't know what it is?"

The tone is somewhat guarded.

Fat Xiong was very clever at first, and after learning from shopkeeper Chen for so long, he was the best at dealing with such situations, and explained: "Brother Hu, don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. We heard that Brother Hu is very familiar with Zhuangzi. Most of the people in the village know each other, so I thought Brother Hu would take us to get acquainted with Zhuangzi, and by the way, deliver food to other farmers. , will punish me."

Only then did Hu Benlu let go of his guard, cupped his hands and said, "The owner is too polite...that, I will do it myself."

After talking about the food, he said to Fat Xiong and the others: "Why don't you go home and have some tea first?"

At the same time, he thought to himself, the owner of the farm is also strange. He didn't call the farmers to show his authority when he took office, but sent his men to give benefits first.

Is he really a good person?
Let's take a look first, the children of rich families are all good at it.

Fat Bear nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Hu."

While everyone was drinking water, Hu Benlu tried to insinuate himself, trying to find out the real purpose of Fat Xiong and others. Fat Xiong patiently explained Hu Benlu's questions without any ambiguity.

There was no conspiracy in the first place, so Fat Bear answered very happily, but concealed the fact that Li Wuchang had come to Zhuangzi.

After exploring the road for a long time, Hu Ben finally found out that Fat Bear had no special purpose, and was very happy, so he put down the task of collecting firewood, led Fat Bear and others into the west and out of the house, and gave benefits everywhere.

The mountain road is not easy to walk. The cart loaded with grain is pulled by two donkeys. There are two carts in total. Both people and donkeys are extremely hard to walk, but Fat Xiong and the others have no complaints. They decided to come down with Li Wuchang as errands From that moment on, there was enlightenment.

Hu Benlu knew that Fat Xiong and the others were from Chang'an City. They dressed and spoke quite extraordinary, and they were very enthusiastic. They were not afraid of hardship. The impression of Fat Xiong gradually improved. Gossip, gradually getting acquainted, and the titles of "brother and brother" started.

Fat Bear and the others listened very carefully.

"Brother Xiong, who is the son of our owner? I heard he is still a Viscount, and he is very young?" Hu Benlu was very curious.

"Brother's news is really well-informed. Our owner is the fourth son of the Chang'an City Imperial Guard Commander's Mansion. He was made a viscount by His Majesty because of his great contributions a few days ago. He is indeed very young, not yet 20 years old, but Brother Hu, don't underestimate the owner, he is capable." Fat Xiong explained.

"My brother is talking about Commander Li of the Imperial Guard?" Hu Benlu had obviously heard of Li Lingwu's name.

Fat Bear nodded with a smile.

Only then did Hu Benlu feel relieved a little, thinking that Li Lingwu's reputation is so good, his son should not be far behind.

"Commander Li and his old man know the difficulties of Feng Yi County, so he sent the fourth son over to our Zhuangzi. First, let the fourth son experience it, and second, let the fourth son do some practical things to see if he can give everyone a hope, so that everyone can have a better life. On a good day, Commander Li specially greeted Neiku." Fat Xiong took the opportunity to promote Li Wuchang's ideas.

"So it is!" Hu Benlu murmured.

"Brother, is the house in front still far away? Brother, I want to send a few more while the sun is not shining." Fat Bear talked about the business.

"Oh, it's not far away, it's not far away, the mountain road is really difficult, and it's hard for you guys, I'll drive the car." Hu Benlu came to his senses and asked for help.

Fat Xiong and others did not refuse, and everyone worked together to drive the donkey cart.

One morning passed, and more than a dozen families were sent to them. Hu Benlu came forward to dispel the doubts of those families, which also saved Fat Xiong and others a lot of embarrassment.

During the break, Fat Xiong took the opportunity to learn many details about the village from the old farmer on Huben Road, and gained a lot.

"Brother, did the owner send you guys down? Our village is very big, and the road is not easy to walk. How about I mobilize the farmers to tell each other that everyone take the initiative to go to the owner's mansion to get food. How many of you are going this way? It's too hard for a seat." Hu Benlu suggested.

The fat bear waved his hand and said, "Getting the food is the second priority. The owner has explained it. It's best to go around and have a look at each household, get to know each other, and learn about the specific situation of the farmers. Moreover, we are not limited to this A few people and a group of people went to another mountain, which is farther away."

Li Wuchang explained the matter early in the morning.

The two teams who gave benefits and learned about the situation, one led by Fat Bear, and the other led by Zhai Changping.

The team that bought food and medicine, Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun followed Eunuch Liu to Hedong County. Naturally, there is no need to worry about money. Although the price of food has risen, you can buy more coarse grains. The price is cheaper, just to satisfy your hunger. After a while Time is fine.

Li Wuchang was the only one in the secretly observing team.

"Brother, it seems that you have been following our owner for quite a while, can you tell me what kind of person the owner is?" Hu Benlu asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"Our owner, how should I put it, is very smart, very kind to his own people, likes obedient and thoughtful subordinates, don't worry, everyone is now his own people, and you will see it in the future... However, he has Sometimes he has a weird temper and will do some weird things that most people can't understand, but don't worry, he has reason in everything he does." Fat Bear summed it up roughly.

Hu Benlu nodded silently, probably having a score in mind.

When everyone was busy, Li Wuchang found a piece of ragged clothes to wear on his body, and brought some dry food, and started wandering around, observing the terrain and thinking about making a plan.

"Grandma, bear, can this land be used to grow crops?" Li Wuchang came to the field, stopped and walked, and dug the mud in the farmland wherever he came.

It was found that many places were sandy land, and fine sand accounted for less than half.

Nima, almost all the bean sprouts can be sprouted in this kind of land, no wonder the harvest is not good.

Moreover, although Luoshui is directly connected to Fengyi County, it does not pass through this Zhuangzi. There are only a few small ditches around, and there is not much water in it, so it is extremely turbid.

Li Wuchang wandered around a large piece of land, and then came to the mountain to the west, and found that the trees were not lush, the thatch was overgrown, and the mountain was mostly boulders and red soil. In some places, the stones were seriously weathered. Not long.

This should be the case on the mountains to the east as well.

To the north is Nanshan, which is still some distance away.

Chuang Tzu is so big, and the mountains occupy more than half of it.

Li Wuchang was sitting on a boulder, looking to the north, thinking that Zhao Xun said that there is a huge swamp-like place in the north, which will flood when it rains, thinking to go there and have a look.

That's not good news, either there will be no water, and when the water comes, it will flood.

The sun is very full, but there are many people working in the fields. They are busy weeding, or directly watering the crops with buckets from small ditches, which is very inefficient.

It's just pouring water, it's too hard, let's get some wool.

Li Wuchang couldn't help cursing secretly.
