Start a Ming Dynasty plane

On the newly built official road in Lantian, a carriage was moving forward. At this time, the side curtain of the carriage was opened, and a pair of eyes looked outside, although it was covered in silver, it couldn't hide the prosperity of Lantian County, especially in the courtyards of every household. The raised granary is full of corn, and the yellow corn makes people feel very happy. This is all food, food that can survive.

We must know that there are probably no more than [-]% of families in Daming who have enough food to survive the winter, and the rest of them are hungry and full, trying to survive this long winter.

This is not the case for the people of Lantian. They have enough food and don't have to worry about starving to death. In this snowy season, the big guys can stay at home and enjoy the winter with peace of mind. This is definitely a life that people in other places can't even dream of.

"parking."

"Appreciate~"

"What's the matter, Mr. Lu? You should be able to reach the city of Xi'an after passing the mountain in front of you and walking a few dozen miles."

"Where is the boundary here?"

Lu Xiangsheng asked, after hearing this, Li Deming said: "This place is Lintong."

"Oh, I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat."

After hearing this, Li Deming said: "This is a small village in the countryside. I'm afraid there are no restaurants. Why don't we hurry up and pass the mountain in front of us? Lintong County is at the other end. There must be delicious food in the county."

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm going to eat here, just find someone's house."

As Lu Xiangsheng said, he got out of the car, and immediately saw an old man at the door of a house who was using a pitchfork to sort out his haystack. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng ignored Li Deming's dissuasion and walked over and said, "Old man."

The old man stopped and looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "What's the matter?"

Lu Xiangsheng: "Old man, we are passing by. We are hungry when we come here. I want to borrow some food from my old man's house. I don't know if it is convenient."

"It's not inconvenient, but our small family doesn't have much to eat. I'm afraid you won't be used to it, seeing your extraordinary clothes."

"There's nothing I'm not used to, I'm not picky about food."

"Okay, just don't be picky eaters."

The old man said: "Then you enter the house first, and I will go back after finishing the haystack."

"How about I help you."

"Hey, how can you do this? You are not used to this kind of crop work."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng laughed and said, "My old man underestimates me. I can do this farm work when I'm seven or eight years old. Come on, give me this fork, and I'll do it for you."

Lu Xiangsheng took the fork and easily picked up the grass that the old man was struggling to pick up. Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "You really know how to do it."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Old man, you should do other things first, I will do this work for you."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile, the old man heard the words and said: "Succeed, I will leave it to you, I will go back and let our old lady cook you something delicious."

After finishing speaking, the old man entered the house. Li Deming came over and looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Mr. Lu, why are you still doing farm work? Let's go quickly, the county magistrate is still waiting."

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng picked up the grass with a fork and said: "This grass is what this old man's family keeps warm in winter. It is the most important thing. How can you take it easy? As for your county lord, there are people to eat and drink. What are you doing?" Urgent, it doesn't matter if we are late or early. Li Deming, what you said to me last time, your county lord, is very reasonable. I will hand it over to you now. People's affairs, no matter how small they are, are still big ones. I, Li Chaosheng No matter how big a matter is, it is still a small matter in front of the interests of the people. Go, you help me hold the haystack, and I will level it up."

Li Deming: (⊙o⊙)...

Lu Xiangsheng has great strength, and the two armies charged and fought with the Tartars without losing the wind. It can be seen how strong his personal fitness is. He does farm work easily and happily, and he does it quickly and well.

It was done soon, and the old man was ready to eat at this time. At this time, he called two people, and the two entered the hospital. The old man washed his hands with a basin of water. Lu Xiangsheng was a little surprised after washing, "Hot water?"

The old man smiled and said: "Yes, our family has newly bought a briquette stove, it is convenient to use hot water, come into the house."

Soon Lu Xiangsheng was brought into the house. At this time, the old man said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Hahaha... There is nothing delicious in this house, so I cut some sauerkraut, pork belly, tofu, sweet potato vermicelli, and some There are some Chinese cabbage and radishes, so let's have a sauerkraut pot today."

"Sauerkraut pot?"

Lu Xiangsheng was a little curious, and the hero said: "Don't underestimate this sauerkraut pot. It was invented by our county lord. It is a must to eat this in winter."

As the old man said, he quickly asked his wife to bring a casserole. Under the casserole was a small yellow clay stove with coals in it. The charcoal fire made the shabu-shabu in the casserole bubbling, which looked very appetizing.

Everyone sat around the table, the old man's wife refused to sit at the table, but in the end Lu Xiangsheng forced him to sit at the table.

In the pot are shredded sauerkraut, very thin slices of pork belly, and tofu, chug chug chug. It’s really a special enjoyment to eat these things in this cold winter.

The old man was a hospitable person, and he even warmed up a pot of sweet potatoes for Lu Xiang. The few people drank wine and ate sauerkraut pot, which really had a special flavor.

After eating and drinking for a while, Lu Xiangsheng began to ask about the situation.

"Old man, are you alone at home?"

The old man smiled and said, "No, two sons and two daughters."

"Oh, both sons and daughters are well."

The old man smiled and said: "Yes, life is good now, but when I was a child, I feel scared when I think about it now. At that time, there were four mouths waiting for food, and the child's mother and I worked for the landlord's house. We were half dead from exhaustion. The food can barely keep the family from starving to death. At that time, sauerkraut pot with meat like this was something we could only eat in our dreams. It’s not like now. drink wine."

The old man had a drink with Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng said: "By the way, where are your children now?"

The old man heard the words and said: "The daughters are all married. One is in the next village, farming, and is a down-to-earth person. The other is doing small business in the city. She is quite capable and smart. She has set up a small shop in the city. The family moved to the city."

"Two sons, one works in the steel factory, and the other works as a waiter in the business world of our Lantian, and they can handle life. It's just me and the child's mother left at home, and life is pretty good, hehe..."

As soon as the children were mentioned, the old man obviously talked a lot. After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Okay, the children are all settled, the old man is considered good to live in this village."

Hearing this, the old man said: "Well, okay, everyone's life is similar, no one is better, but I have to say, the life now is completely different from the previous life, and now when I think about the life in the past, I am afraid, If we were able to survive back then, that would be the real good fortune. All of this is thanks to our county venerables. If it weren’t for our county lords, we would probably still live in such a precarious life now, and I heard people say that we Outside the boundaries of Lantian, those lands that are not ruled by us in Lantian, the lives of the people are still the same as we used to live, miserable."

After the old man said this, he looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "By the way, you are from outside. How are the people living outside?"

Lu Xiangsheng said, "Compared to you, they seem to be living in hell."

"Hey~ what a crime, why don't you say that the emperor of Daming can't learn from our county respect, and let the common people live the life we ​​have now, alas~"

Hearing the old man's soliloquy, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but also sighed.

In the past, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, although he had contact with Lantian, he had never had a heart-to-heart talk with the people at the lowest level, and he didn't understand what was going on in their hearts. "

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the old man and said: "I heard that the Emperor Daming is very dissatisfied with your Li Xianzun, and he may take your county zun to death. When that day really comes, who will you support?"

"Support who?"

The old man was stunned and said: "I'm an old man. If I want to be a young man and still be able to fight for the county magistrate, I am willing to be the first to go to the battlefield. Although I can't go to the battlefield, my two sons are fine. On that day, I will let my son go to the battlefield to fight for the magistrate."

Lu Xiangsheng heard this and said: "Old man, it is the emperor who wants to do Li Xianzun."

"Emperor, so what about the emperor, whoever wants to move our county magistrate, the old man will fight him hard, I don't care if he is the emperor or not, what's wrong with the emperor, when I couldn't eat, the emperor came to give me a bite, It was the county magistrate who saw that we were starving to death, gave us a bite to eat, and allowed us to live the life of the gods now. Now that we are full and the emperor has come out, he still wants us to eat. We work hard for him, why, just because he was born in the emperor's family, he wants to order our old and young masters in Lantian to deal with the county magistrate, it is impossible, let alone me, you just ask millions of people in Lantian, Absolutely no one would betray my county magistrate for the sake of the so-called emperor, we are all willing to shed the last drop of blood for the magistrate, and for our present good life."

What the old man said was categorical, and Lu Xiangsheng did not doubt the old man's determination at all when he heard the words. It represents public opinion. Once upon a time, the people of the Ming Dynasty were proud of being a member of the Ming Dynasty, but now, the people have regarded the emperor as an enemy.

The king regards the people as worthless, and the people regard the king as an enemy. As expected, there is no unreasonable gratitude and gratitude in this world, let alone unreasonable foolish loyalty. Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "The king is like this, and the people are like this." What are you doing?"

After Lu Xiangsheng said something, the old man at the side looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Mister, is there something on your mind?"

"No, I just suddenly thought of a question that has been lingering in my mind for a long time."

Lu Xiangsheng said, after hearing this, the old man said: "Then shall we drink?"

"drink wine."

Lu Xiangsheng raised his glass and clinked a glass with the old man again, drank it in one gulp, and then Lu Xiangsheng asked again, is the food stored in the old man's house enough for the whole family to eat and drink?

How is the harvest in the village this year? Anyway, it was just a conversation, which clarified the situation of the folks in Lantian. After doing all this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help feeling: "The people of Lantian live the lives that real people should live."

Satisfied with wine and food, Lu Xiangsheng and Li Deming got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Lu Xiangsheng took out a Lantian silver dollar from his pocket and put it on the old man's cabinet. He didn't give money for meals. This is not Lu Xiangsheng's style of life.

The old man didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng had left the money, otherwise the old man would never accept it, so he sent Lu Xiangsheng and his party away like this, and Lu Xiangsheng's attitude changed a lot.

Before he came to Lantian, he had the feeling of being tricked by Li Chaosheng. Whether it was the loan contract or a series of things in the prison, Lu Xiangsheng felt that he had fallen into Li Chaosheng's trap, and he was very conflicted in his heart. When he arrived in Lantian, after having a meal with the simple people in Lantian, his senses were all changed, and his thoughts were also changed.

Even if Li Chaosheng used tricks on his own matter, but Li Chaosheng can manage the people so well that everyone can live a fairy-like life, Lu Xiangsheng feels that Li Chaosheng is countless times stronger than himself, no matter how talented he is, He is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, but he is far inferior to Li Chaosheng in governing the people.

He recognized this, and at the same time, he was not so conflicted about being lured into Lantian by Li Chaosheng. If it was for the people of Lantian, Lu Xiangsheng would still be willing. Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng, compared with ordinary people, he has some personal integrity , What does honor and disgrace count?

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the legal scriptures in his car full of Lantian, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Now that Lantian's people's livelihood is doing well enough, and the military is strong enough, there is no need to add icing on the cake. With this law, there is still room for improvement, and Lu Xiangsheng knows his own character.

Doing government affairs and military affairs are not smooth enough, and they may not be able to gain a foothold in Lantian. Only the law, Lu Xiangsheng thinks that he can abide by the bottom line of the law, and can be punished for breaking the law. Everyone is equal before the law, and even for the justice of the law Lu Xiangsheng dared to abandon his personal life and death, and asked Li Chaosheng whether he was right or wrong.

Uprightness is Lu Xiangsheng's character traits, so the legal officer is the official position that Lu Xiangsheng wants to ask Li Chaosheng for this trip, and this time Lu Xiangsheng also wants to ask Li Chaosheng for a right, a right of law.

The car moved forward slowly, and Lu Xiangsheng said to Li Deming outside: "Speed ​​up, I want to see your county lord sooner."

Li Deming was taken aback, and Lu Xiangsheng didn't show any anxious attitude during this journey. He didn't expect that he was anxious when he was about to reach Lantian. Did the old man's words change his mind?

Li Deming thought about it, but quickly got rid of this thought. No matter what, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to see the county lord as soon as possible, which is something to be happy about.

At the very least, it shows that Lu Xiangsheng intends to do things for Lantian now. Thinking of this, the corners of Li Deming's mouth turned up slightly, he waved his horsewhip, and accelerated the speed of the car.

"drive!"
