Chapter 200 The Great Famine

At this time, in a ruined temple in Lantian, Zhang Dezheng, the county magistrate, was hiding inside, surrounded by his close guards. Zhang Dezheng was not stupid, especially after a few years ago when swordsmen liked to kill the county magistrate, he spent a lot of money to win over a group of people. Dead soldiers, a group of people who can really go through life and death for him, there are not many people, a total of 12 people, but each of them is brave.

Zhang Dezheng felt something was wrong when he fled last night, so besides the golden cicada's plan to get rid of its shell, he used a throwing stone to ask the way, using 6 taels of silver and [-] swordsmen as stones, and threw it out to see the reaction of the outside world. The bandits were so fierce that the six groups of people took down all the way without running out.

Now he is the only one left hiding in the ruined temple in the countryside with twelve dead men. How can he get out of trouble, especially when he runs with the gold and silver he has collected over the years.

Zhang De was having a headache. At this time, the soldiers spoke enthusiastically, and some said that they could lead the adults to fight out.

Some said that they could ask the imperial court to send troops to guard them and leave Lantian, while others said that if they didn't wear makeup, the silver could be shipped out in batches.

In the end, Zhang Dezheng didn't adopt it. They were all good moves, but they had troubles in operation.

Killing them out, this is Tie Hanhan's idea, he is a strong and powerful Liuyu bandit, and twelve of them killing him out, isn't this a dream?

Since you can't kill him, then think of other ways, ask the court for help, who to ask, he is now going to the end, not even an official, who to ask for help?Besides, soldiers are less reliable than bandits these days. When they saw the gold, silver and jewels of their own, they probably killed themselves before the bandits, and took them for themselves.

So this path doesn't work.

Then apart from this matter, after much deliberation, the only thing that might be useful is probably the third way, make up, and take out the money in batches.

But after using this trick for a while, two dead men were killed. The main reason was that these two dead men carried 1000 taels of silver at one time, and they were found out by the bandits in Qingyu at that time.

However, Li Chaosheng issued a martial law order, and those who wanted to leave the Liudayukou in the past two days had to be inspected. In this era, there were no human rights. When they came up, they just searched their bodies and collected parcels, and no one raised any objections.

Then the two people carrying thousands of taels of silver were detained, and the two people were obviously impatient. When the Qingyu people wanted to take him in shackles, the two guys exploded and resisted arrest in public , and took out their weapons, gesticulating and rowing, oooo slag, can Qingyu's brothers spoil them?
The two men were captured on the spot, but the dead man was a dead man, and he committed suicide when he was about to be captured. It must be said that it was two men, and Zhang Dezheng's money was not wasted.

However, this incident was considered a shocker, and Liudayukou even put up a notice together, telling that Liudashanyu is currently closed, and those with more than 500 taels of silver will be impounded on the spot, and more than [-] taels need to be guaranteed by nearby villagers. pass.

This suddenly blocked Zhang Dezheng's way. He could not carry more than 500 taels of silver at a time. He still had at least 6 taels of silver in his hand, and more than 1000 taels of gold. With so much money, he would take 500 taels each time. That's too slow, and people like me walk once, but don't dare to leave the second time. Who knows if there are any of these people with good eyesight and good memory. Wouldn't it be completely over if they had themselves?
Thinking of Zhang Dezheng's death, as for the other people in Lantian, they have probably guessed what these bandits are thinking, and they don't have much objection to this. After all, there are not many people in Lantian who can give out a hundred taels of silver at once.

Therefore, the bandits' blockade of Yukou put no pressure on the common people.

Liudayukou’s trick of closing the door and beating dogs has made Zhang Dezheng miserable, so sad, so sad, and just when Zhang Dezheng was worried, an even more absurd scene occurred in Lantian County. A set of dirty ones came, and even the whole county offered a reward to Zhang Dezheng, the former county magistrate.

The bandit offered a reward to the county magistrate, which is really ridiculous. At this time, Zhang De was sitting in the ruined temple, holding a reward list in his hand.

Lantian Liuyu joint reward order, the reward amount is 100 taels.

Below is a portrait, the painting is quite similar, followed by the following words, Zhang Dezheng, the former magistrate of Lantian County, corrupted the law, committed heinous crimes, ransacked land, disregarded human life, even though we are bandits, we are not used to it, hereby offer a reward Those who can provide clues, catch Zhang Dezheng, and reward those who report, 100 taels of silver, or [-] dans of food.

Such a high reward was rarely seen in Lantian County. All of a sudden, the people of Lantian were happy, and they played a small game of finding the county magistrate together.

I often see big guys looking for suspicious people everywhere after finishing their work in the field, which makes Zhang Dezheng feel no sense of security at all.

"This group of unscrupulous people should be killed by her mother!"

Zhang Dezheng angrily slapped a reward order on the dilapidated case. Now Zhang Dezheng still has the high spirits of a few months ago, which makes him panic like a bereaved dog.

The soldiers looked at Zhang Dezheng and said, "My lord, let's go quickly. In the past two days, there have been many searches by villagers in our neighborhood. We killed several of them, so that this place has not been found."

After hearing this, Zhang Dezheng looked at the dead man and said, "Did you kill someone?"

The dead man nodded and said, "Killed."

Hearing this, Zhang Dezheng said anxiously: "Then why don't you tell me, you killed someone, and this place is not safe."

The man heard the words: "I'm sorry, my lord, our goal is too big now. If we don't kill them, we have to change places. But if we change places at this time, the villagers will definitely find out, and it will be dangerous at that time."

After Zhang Dezheng heard this, he didn't know how to refute. He could only turn his head and look at the big box covered with straw. There was silver that made everyone dizzy, but now he could only look at it, but not spend it. Zhang Dezheng was powerless. Sitting in the pile of straw, he said: "We are now trapped in Lantian, and it will be a matter of time before we are caught."

After hearing this, the dead soldiers didn't say anything, Zhang Dezheng looked at the dead soldiers and said, "Which one of you has something to eat?"

After hearing this, a group of dead men fumbled in their pockets, only one took out half a piece of cake, a bit unwilling to give it to Zhang Dezheng, Zhang Dezheng said: "Give me the cake, and I will give you 1000 taels of silver there."

Hearing this, the dead man was still unwilling to give it, but Zhang Dezheng snatched the cake at this moment, ate it in big mouthfuls, smoothed his messy hair with his little finger, and said in a crying voice: "Master, I will buy you half of it for 1000 taels of silver." You don’t even want a piece of cake, what’s the use of asking for so much money?”

After hearing this, a dead man said: "If you can get out of Lantian County, the money will be useful, but if you can't get out..."

The dead soldiers were right. The silver in the county magistrate's hands was very pure and large. If this kind of silver was used for shopping, people would probably notice it directly, especially after the reward order was issued.

And these people didn't dare to walk around casually, after all, who knows if there are any eyes staring here.

At this moment, Zhang Dezheng gnawed on a dry pancake and said, "I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat, I want to eat, steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose..."

A group of dead men listened silently at this moment, and just wanted to say, your old man eats real flowers.

It was getting dark, and the dilapidated temple didn't even dare to light a lamp. A group of people sat in the dark, and no one knew when the day would end.

And at this time outside, Luo Heita said to the blind date beside him: "Are you sure you want the ruined temple in front?"

After hearing this, the folks nodded and said: "We are sure that the two young men in our village came to search near this ruined temple, and then there was no news. The bastard magistrate must have taken people to hide in that ruined temple."

Luo Heita nodded after hearing this: "Okay, the first group will follow me."

Luo Heita led a group of soldiers directly under him to follow him. Luo Heita was in charge of guarding Xiaoyangyu. Among the soldiers under his command, he selected a squad of soldiers from among the best ones to form a squad with strong combat effectiveness and stormed.

Every soldier in the squad has a very strong combat power, and some of them are not weaker than Li Chaolong, they are all very strong guys.

At this time, Luo Heita brought a group of people to smear around the ruined temple. Everyone bowed their heads. When they were approaching the ruined temple, Luo Heita raised his hand, and everyone stopped. Luo Heita pointed Pointing to the two dead soldiers who were watching the night not far away, they made a gesture of cutting their throats, followed by two soldiers who touched it silently.

woohoo...

Covering his mouth, the sharp knife instantly cut the throat of the dead night watchman. At this moment, the dead night watchman could only struggle helplessly, and then the dead body fell to the ground. Luo Heita waved his hand when he saw this. Check the entire ruined temple first, there are three exits in total, a front door, a back door, and a broken window.

"You, and you, one of you and two people will guard the door for me, and the rest will rush in with me. Don't kill the county magistrate, and kill the rest, do you hear me?"

"Yes."

A few people answered in a low voice, followed by Luo Heita, brandishing a big knife, and took the lead, rushing directly into the ruined temple.

In the ruined temple, Zhang Dezheng was still reporting the name of the dish: "There are white meatballs, red meatballs, Nanjian meatballs, Sixi meatballs, Sanxian meatballs, boiled meatballs..."

"Hey, I can't eat these!"

At this moment, Luo Heita yelled and rushed in.

"Who."

When the dead man saw someone coming in, he immediately yelled, "Hurry up and cover the county magistrate."

At this moment, Luo Heita laughed loudly and said: "I haven't finished the meal, have you left yet? Kill me!"

Luo Heita yelled angrily, and swung the Daguan knife in his hand, covering his head and covering his face with a knife. This knife was extremely sharp and murderous. As soon as a dead man rushed in front of him, his head flew away.

Luo Heita may not be ranked high in the big scene, but in small-scale battles, especially in the face of these dead soldiers, it is easy to fight a few at a time.

At this time, Luo Heita was like a tiger attacking the flock of sheep, slaughtering indiscriminately, the place where it passed was covered with blood, and it made one's scalp numb just looking at it.

"kill!"

Luo Heita killed Li Xing, covered in blood, and Zhang Dezheng was so frightened that he stood there dumbfounded, unable to speak a word.

At this time, Luo Heita killed the last dead man, looked at the county magistrate and asked, "Do you still have anyone?"

"No, no, they're all dead."

After hearing this, Luo Heita looked at Zhang Dezheng and said, "Those are the people's fat and people's anointing that you embezzled?"

Zhang Dezheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded desperately: "It's all there, it's all there, Your Majesty can take it all away, just please don't kill me."

Hearing this, Luo Heita said, "Okay, is there anyone else hiding something?"

Zhang Dezheng shook his head: "It's gone."

Seeing this, Luo Heita looked at Zhang Dezheng and said, "Is there anything else you want to say? After that, you can go on your way."

Hearing this, Zhang Dezheng said with a dark face: "Your Majesty wants to kill me, and I have already paid for my life."

Hearing this, Luo Heita gave the soldiers a look, and at this time Luo Heita said: "In June of Xin Chou year, you just took office for a month, and the pregnant second sister Wang was belittled by the rich man Zhou in the village. Now, you took the rich man Zhou’s money, took down Second Sister Wang’s trousers, and beat her with ten sticks, but the child was killed, and Second Sister Wang couldn’t think of committing suicide by throwing herself into a well.”

"In August of the Xinchou year, the villager Zhao Xiaotian and the landlord went to court for arrears of wages. You took the landlord's money in private, but beat Zhao Xiaotian. Zhao Xiaotian killed a cow in the landlord's house in a fit of anger. Beat Zhao Xiaotian to death."

"In October of the Xin Chou year, the two sons of the rich man Qu's family in Dongxiang fought for property. You ate the plaintiff and the defendant. After some manipulation, the wealth of the rich man Qu's family and his family ended up in your pocket. In the end, the second son of the Qu family did not plan to sue. But you copied him for the crime of provoking the court and despising the county magistrate."

"Xin Chou Year..."

As the crimes were read out one by one, Zhang Dezheng trembled every time he heard one, and trembled every time he heard one.

After reading a small book of crimes, Luo Heita looked at Zhang Dezheng and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Zhang Dezheng sighed and said: "It seems that I will definitely die, can I have a bowl of noodles before I die."

Luo Heita said: "Let's eat on the way to Huangquan."

After speaking, Luo Heita put a rope directly around Zhang Dezheng's neck, let's go!

"Forehead……"

At this moment, Zhang Dezheng was waving his hands with all his teeth and claws, but he found that he was powerless, no matter how much he scratched, he couldn't grab what was in front of him. At this time, Zhang Dezheng made a non-human sound from his throat.

amount……

Zhang Dezheng's face slowly turned purple, and an illusion appeared in his mind. It was a poor family, a young man wielding a hoe diligently, but was snatched away by an old woman.

"Dezheng, how can you do farm work? You have to study and be the number one scholar."

"Mother, when will you be able to complete so many places by yourself?"

"If you read it slowly, you will finish it. But you, you study hard, and you will be the first lady when you become the number one scholar."

……

In a blink of an eye, the scene changed, and a young man knelt in front of his mother: "Mother, my son has passed the Jinshi examination, and if I have passed the Jinshi examination, my son can become an official."

"My son is promising, my son is promising, mother is very happy, but son, when you become an official, you must be a clean official. If you are a corrupt official, you will be scolded by the big guys."

……

The scene changed, a middle-aged man in his 30s lived in a dilapidated house in the capital, ate steamed buns and vegetables, his mother was sick, and even a doctor was not enough to treat him.

When the old lady passed away, she firmly grasped the man's hand: "Be a good official."

Seeing the old lady close her eyes, the man raised his head, his eyes no longer had the arrogance of the past, good official, hehe, fuck her good official, good official can't even save the old lady, from today on I will be black-hearted.

……

A series of images flashed in Zhang Dezheng's eyes at this time. Zhang Dezheng made a gurgling sound from his throat, his face turned purple, he lost his breath, and his body fell to the ground.

Luo Heita let go of his hand and looked at the already dead Zhang Dezheng, saying: "Hang it on the beam of the house, Zhang Dezheng, a corrupt official, committed suicide in fear of crime!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers threw the rope onto the beam, and raised Zhang Dezheng onto the beam like raising a flag.

Following Luo Heita, he said, "Have someone bring a carriage and bring all the money back to me. The Brigadier is still waiting for the news of our victory."

As Luo Heita spoke, someone sent a signal, and Luo Heita called a few soldiers to come together to witness that he took out two ingots of 50 taels of silver from the silver box.

"It's all good, go back and report to the brigade commander truthfully, I took two silver coins, this is a reward for the whistleblower."

Luo Heita was talking, when the soldier saluted and said, "We all saw it."

This is the importance of military discipline. If other troops saw so much money, they would spend the spoils on the spot.

When the reporter saw the real money, he grinned stupidly, but he refused to accept it. Luo Heita wondered why he didn’t accept the money. At this time, the reporter said: “I see that I can still ask for forty loads of food, and I want food. "

Luo Heita was stunned and said, "The price of our grain in Lantian seems to be only two taels, and you can buy fifty tans of grain with your 100 taels."

After hearing this, the whistleblower said: "Master, don't fool me. The price of grain in Lantian County is two taels of silver, but you have seen that grain store is still open."

After hearing this, Luo Heita was speechless, yes, there is also the opening of the grain store.

Hearing this, Luo Heita immediately said: "Okay, tomorrow you take people to Xiaoyangyu to collect food."

After speaking, Luo Heita returned to the mountain with the silver. Back on the mountain, Li Chaosheng took all the silver to buy fields, leaving only 1000 taels of gold, and Li Chaosheng's land is getting more and more.

It can be said that the largest landlord in Lantian is Li Chaosheng.

Luo Heita and the others have done meritorious service, so there will naturally be rewards, and the rewards are very simple. Li Chaosheng rewarded Luo Heita with five acres of land, and each person in this operation will have one acres of land.

And with the land, these soldiers are happy. Other people's land may not be able to survive, but Li Chaosheng's land can definitely grow food. Food is life these days.

The whistleblower was called Niu Er, a very funny name, but he was an honest man. He was 23 and hadn't found a wife yet. He was often laughed at in the village, but Niu Er was very smart and courageous.

The next day, I borrowed two ox carts from someone, found a fellow villager, and promised to help bring back the grain and give a load of grain to the fellow villager, so the two of them prepared to go to Xiaoyangyu to get grain.

When people from the same village heard about it, they all scolded the two men for being stupid.

"Niu Er, are you stupid? They are bandits, bandits who kill without blinking an eye. Go ask them for food, and be careful to hang your head on the city gate and display it."

"That's right, that's right, are you two tired of living?"

"Are you two blinded by thinking about food, can the bandits give you food?"

The villagers were sarcastic, and another fellow villager said: "I was waiting at the foot of the mountain. When he came down, I helped drive the car back. If he doesn't come down, I won't go up either."

At this moment Niu Er heard the words and said: "Don't think too badly about the Xiaoyangyu bandits. They are not like bandits, but more like soldiers. I saw them yesterday. They really want to give money."

After hearing this, the villagers became a little silent. The bandits in Xiaoyangyu are really good, and they don't harm the village, but you say they are all good people, right?
The villagers stopped being sarcastic at this moment, Niu Er waved his hands to everyone and said, "No matter what, I will try, once there is food, I will be able to marry Zhaodi."

Everyone laughed and said: "Zhaodi's father said that Zhaodi will not marry if he doesn't have ten loads of food."

"Yeah, he thought that his family's recruit was a golden phoenix, and he was the only one willing to give ten loads of food, you idiot."

A group of people ridiculed Niu Er, Niu Er laughed and said, "Laugh first, I'm going to get the food first."

Niu Er drove the cart away. In order to borrow the two cars, Niu Er gave up the house to the owner. After all, if the bullock cart went up the mountain and was seized by the bandits, wouldn't they lose everything?

Niu Er left, and at noon he came back with two large ox carts full of food, which caused a sensation in the whole village. Niu Er had a smile on his face at this moment.

The villagers' eyes widened, Niu Er really brought back the food!
Everyone couldn't believe it, the bandits really gave food!

At this moment, Niu Er had an unconcealable smile on his face. People looked at Niu Er, and someone asked, "Brother Niu Er, didn't the bandits kill you?"

At this time, Niu Er directly became Niu Er Brother, and his status rose instantly. Niu Er laughed and said, "The king of the mountain is very good. He will give you food when he arrives. Besides, it is not convenient for me to drive two cars by myself. Why not?" Help me drive the car down the mountain."

Niu Er looked at the people in the village and said, and the villagers' eyes widened after hearing this: "I also help you drive the car, bragging."

The villagers expressed their disbelief, but the [-] tans of grain they brought back were real, and they would be richer from today on.

People who can produce forty tans of grain these days, are they ordinary people?
Zhaodi's father was watering the seedlings in the field. When he heard that Niu Er had brought back forty loads of grain, his eyes widened and he ran home without looking back. His Golden Phoenix could finally be sold. Overpriced.

Zhaodi's father was so excited. When he got home, Zhaodi's father went to Niu Er's house in the evening to ask Niu Er when he would marry Zhaodi. Zhaodi is not young, she will be eighteen this year.

Niu Er looked at Zhaodi's father who had never even looked at him, and said: "We can get engaged now, the eighth day of next month will be a good day."

After Zhaodi's father heard this, he looked at Niu Er and said, "Niu Er, you are a good boy. Now that you have so much food, you can't eat it alone. I have a lot of family members. Otherwise, you can give me [-]% of the gift." Bear it! I set aside ten loads to find a wife for his two younger brothers in the future."

After hearing this, Zhaodi poured a ladle of water on her father, pointed at her father and cursed at him, calling him unfair, calling him patriarchal, calling him worse than a beast.

The father was annoyed and wanted to beat Zhaodi, but Niu Eryi glared at him and said, "Old Zhao, if you dare to touch Zhaodi with a finger, you won't even want your ten loads of food."

Zhao Laolan was furious, but he had to swallow his anger for ten loads of food. After all, this fool was willing to give ten loads of food, not even one load of food for others.

Zhao Laolan left, and Niu Er finally married the sweetheart of his dreams.

And this matter was also spread, and Xiaoyangyu's reputation was directly raised several levels, and no one even said they were bandits.

This is a very good start. As long as this is the case, it doesn't take much. In two or three years, no one will think that there are bandits in Lantian County.

The news that Zhang De was ruining the temple was spread, and the whole Lantian County burst into cheers. The bastard county magistrate finally got his retribution, and the family who died unjustly ran to the grave of the deceased to pass the news to their relatives underground. them.

All the people cheered for a while, and this news also spread to Xi'an Mansion, which frightened the officials. Everyone felt that this might be the awakening of the unruly people, and everyone was sad when they went out.

It even developed to never go out unless necessary, and some county magistrates were even more afraid, and even started to put on a show, acting as a bargaining chip of loving the people like children, but don't the heartbroken people know what they look like?
Anyway, all the officials were too scared to change at will.

The drought in Shaanxi is becoming more and more serious, and the seedlings in many places have withered. This year, many places in Shaanxi will face the tragic picture of no crops.

And the rest of the summer food may only be able to support them until winter comes. There are definitely not a few people who died of freezing and starvation this year.

The autumn harvest has arrived, and Shaanxi is wailing everywhere, landlords and common people are all wailing, wailing for the failure of grain harvest.

Lantian County also suffered from disasters, but since most of the land was sold to Li Chaosheng later, some were saved. In addition, the area where Li Chaosheng built the reservoir did not significantly reduce the grain production.

The harvest of corn and potatoes was bumper, and what surprised Li Chaosheng the most was the sweet potato, which is simply a blessing to the people. This year, the average yield of sweet potatoes on Li Chaosheng's land can reach [-] kilograms per mu.

Please note that it is kilograms, not catties, and nearly five thousand catties of sweet potatoes are produced per mu of land.

Immediately shocked everyone, Li Chaosheng looked at the big sweet potato in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but sighed: "If the sweet potato is ripe, there will be no hunger in Lantian."

But Li Chaosheng was a little too optimistic. After all, Li Chaosheng planted [-] mu of sweet potatoes. Even if the harvest was good, it could not solve the famine in Lantian.

What's more frightening is that there is now a famine in the whole of Shaanxi, and countless people have started to flee from the famine. Those who live on the plains have started to flee to the mountains like Lantian.

Strange to say, in years of prosperity, people from mountainous areas go to plain cities, but in years of disaster, people from plain cities go to mountainous areas.

Lantian is close to the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by many mountains and valleys, so this place has naturally become a choice for everyone to escape from famine.

In just one month, Li Chaosheng accepted nearly 4 refugees in six valleys. This is almost the limit of Li Chaosheng's carrying capacity, but there are still people coming.

Winter is here again, the first year of Chongzhen is about to pass, and the second year of Chongzhen is about to come.

Li Chaosheng came to Liudayukou for inspection and found that many people were arranged to build water canals for Li Chaosheng's new fields. Countless people sold their labor for two meals of sweet potatoes a day.

Sweet potatoes are delicious, whether they are baked or steamed, they are sweet and delicious to the hungry victims.

In Li Chaosheng's military camp, the potatoes on Li Chaosheng's stove turned into roasted sweet potatoes, millet, and Shi Xiaolei ate sweet potatoes together around the stove.

While eating, Gu Zi said: "There were more than 30 victims in our village yesterday. The patriarch couldn't bear it. He gave a child a piece of cake and an old lady a bowl of porridge. Then this morning, there were more than 100 more victims in the village. , surrounded the patriarch's house."

"Brother Chao Long can't help it. A porridge shed has been set up outside today. It seems that there are 200 people visiting in the afternoon."

Gu Zi said to Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng frowned slightly when he heard this, Guo Bao who was on the side said: "Brother Chaolong shouldn't set up a porridge shed, and even Uncle Jinli shouldn't give pancakes. This disaster relief has only a beginning and an end, there is absolutely no middle." Stop talking about it, if you fail to save half of the disaster relief, the disaster victims will eat you alive, this kind of thing is recorded in the books."

Shi Xiaolei sighed at this time and said: "The hungry people are so pitiful, they are almost lost in shape. If anyone gives them a pancake at this time, they will give you their lives."

Gu Zi said: "Isn't it? I've heard people say that the victims of the disaster have already started to sell their sons and daughters, and some women have sold themselves, and only begged that the person who bought them would give a piece of pancake or a bowl of thick rice." Some porridge."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Big cousin doesn't have a lot of food in his house, and these victims can't eat a few meals. This is not good. Actually, big cousin did the right thing. Now that these victims are in front of me, we can't just stand by and watch, Gu Zi, You will open a larger porridge shed at the gate of our barracks in a while, don't let his door block the eldest cousin's house, my eldest aunt is not in good health, don't be shocked."

"Ah, Brigadier, do you want to provide disaster relief?"

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Help, as long as I can see the victims this year, I can't let them die, and of course I can't let them eat for nothing. Let them dig more reservoirs and build more canals for our town. This year we will experiment It is very successful, as long as the canals are open, even if it does not rain, we can still use the water from the canals to irrigate, and the production will not be reduced much, so we must build more canals to try to irrigate more land and produce more food in the coming year."

After hearing this, Gu Zi saluted immediately, "Yes."

Li Chaosheng looked at the sky, wondering if this year's sweet potatoes could hold up.

Li Chaosheng was thinking, and at this moment a telegram rang in the telegraph room. Li Chaosheng picked it up and looked at it, and there was a line written on it: Hong Chengchou entered Lantian.

Li Chaosheng was taken aback, why did Hong Chengchou come, Li Chaosheng immediately telegraphed back, asking how many people came in total.

The answer I got quickly was: a group of ten cavalry soldiers entered Lantian from Daiyu, went to the county government office first, then asked someone about the location of Li's family, and went straight to Tanggou Town.

"Looking for me?"

Li Chaosheng frowned, not understanding why Hong Chengchou came to Lantian to find him at this time. You must know that Hong Chengchou is now the chief envoy of Shaanxi. ?
Li Chaosheng didn't understand, but it didn't matter if he didn't understand, when he came, wouldn't he understand everything?Hope it's a good thing.
