Chapter 77

"Your Highness, are you going to stop giving out seeds?"

He He reminded in a low voice, for fear of offending Liu Bian's face.

What a pity, what a pity. When He He said this, he had already offended Liu Bian... Blushing, Liu Bian stopped, took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and said calmly:

"Then what are you waiting for? Send out the seeds?"

He He glanced at his Highness and found that His Highness was quite calm and didn't dare to talk nonsense. He immediately opened a few bags and stretched out his hand to grab it, like scooping rice. He stretched out his hand again and found a handful of oranges in his hand. Full orange particles.

Is that a grain seed? ——At first glance, it looks more like grain, the kind that can be put directly into the pot!

He watched curiously as He He distributed each handful of grain seeds to each registered tenant in turn - just as He He was distributing grain seeds, another group of tenant farmers registered...

As a result, Hehe continued to produce grains without end.

Liu Bian noticed that not every bag contained grain seeds.

When Liu Bian left with a group of tenant farmers, he saw He He changing the distribution of vegetable seeds.

Also...it doesn't matter?
Anyway, they are all seeds, and they are all suitable for planting in this season, so there is no difference.

No longer considering the type of seeds, Liu Bian led the twenty tenant farmers who had received the seeds, and under the protection of He Xian and three other guards, he walked out of the mansion and arranged accommodation for these tenant farmers.

So, here comes the problem: there is still quite a distance from the tenant farmers' residences, and it really can't be reached by walking only one or twenty steps, or by going around a few alleys and streets.

"Your Highness, please get in the car." He Xian said respectfully.

After listening, Liu Bian's head was full of black lines.

Take a look, look outside the mansion, it's quite spectacular: on the left is an endless line of tenant farmers. The tenant farmers are queuing up, waiting to register. There are so many people that they almost blocked the main traffic artery!
Fortunately, there are no vehicles in Nanpi City, otherwise there would be disputes?

However, even so, there were passing civilians from Nanpi County who had to get through, which forced the tenant farmers who needed to register to give way and then stood back...

With relief, Liu Bian saw: He Miao was familiar with the road, commanding hundreds of cavalry to patrol back and forth to prevent conflicts among the tenant farmers.

Looking to the right again, there is Liu Bian and his group on the right.

Now, in front of Liu Bian, there was a carriage parked, and three guards were about to help him get into the carriage... Then, would he take the carriage to his destination?

—Where are the remaining tenant farmers?

What to do with the remaining tenant farmers?Do you dare to let the other party follow you there on foot?

And in front of countless tenant farmers? !
Liu Bian: "..."

Hello!I don’t want my reputation anymore? !

I ride in the car and the sharecroppers walk? !This, this, this... this is too different!
Liu Bian couldn't sit down anyway.

Sighing, he inexplicably reflected on the previous times when he took in tenant farmers or refugees. He was too careless and careless. Why didn't he consider this kind of situation?

"Your Highness?" He Xian was still puzzled and didn't take this scene to heart at all.

With a straight face, Liu Bian announced lightly: "I decided not to take the car."

"Your Highness, Your Highness? Why...?!" He Xian was taken aback.

Waving his hand, Liu Bian said: "I want to go with the people and go to the destination together."

He Xian: "..."

He Xian really didn't expect that His Highness would not act according to common sense...walking with the people?It's a shame Your Highness figured it out!Unable to help, He Xian said: "Your Highness, this is still a few miles away from the "wooden house area", it is really too far. "

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Liu argued: "Mr. He, you also know that the "wooden house area" is quite far away, why don't you consider these people? " He pointed his hand at the group of tenant farmers behind him and said righteously:

"These people also want to go to the "wooden house area", haven't you thought about sending a car to take them away? "

"Send a car?" He Xian was completely confused and reported subconsciously, "But, before..."

"Previously, that's what happened before!" He quickly interrupted He Xian's words, "Earlier, did we agree to follow the refugees? Are we going to provide protection to the refugees?"

He Xian pursed his lips, listened to the instruction honestly, and finally said: "Your Highness, what do you want to do?"

"Find four or five carts! Let these tenant farmers set off on the carts!" he ordered without hesitation.After all, taking a scooter is much faster than walking, right?After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Where is Yuan Biejia?"

He Xian was startled, pointed straight into the distance, and said: "It's right there! Your Highness, do you want to summon Yuan Biejia?"

"No need to summon him!" He really wanted to raise his forehead, "What is Yuan Biejia doing?" He Xian said: "Didn't His Highness ask Yuan Biejia to build the iron shop as soon as possible?"

"Is the Iron Shop a wine shop? Is it a palace? Does it take so long to build?!" he asked bluntly.

In fact, in his eyes, the iron shop is equivalent to an open space.

An iron shop without a blacksmith is not an iron shop.

In the same way, a blacksmith can forge iron, make weapons and daily utensils, etc. Even if he is standing in an open space... working, that open space can also be called an iron shop!
He Xian lowered his head and said nothing.

After waving his hand, he ordered: "You go to Yuan Biejia and order Yuan Biejia not to let the blacksmiths rush to make farming tools. Just build five carts, and they must be able to carry people! Later on , just take the cart to the "wooden house area"!Just follow this road and you might meet us. "

He Xian understood and said decisively: "Here! Your Highness, I will find Yuan Biejia right now -"

After saying that, He Xian said goodbye to Liu Bian and ran quickly to find Yuan Shao.

Watching He Xian leave, Liu Bian turned his attention to the carriage again.

About whether or not you want a carriage? …

What else could he do? ——If you said you won’t take the car, then don’t take the car!Wouldn't it be enough to just let He Bai drive?

He said to He Bai: "You are driving the carriage."

He Bai agreed blankly, and saw His Highness turning to the twenty tenant farmers and saying loudly: "—Let's go!"

Liu Bian buried his head and led the twenty tenant farmers forward.

Huh? !

He Bai opened his mouth wide and was almost stunned for a while, then he stumbled and pretended to be a groom and drove the carriage.

He Bai was very confused: if he drove too fast, he would rush in front of His Highness and the others, which would be too rude; if he drove too slowly, it would be like a stone, blocking the road of His Highness... In short, if you drive too fast, you have to go slower. No, don't mention how uncomfortable it is.

Compared to He Bai who was sweating profusely, Liu Bian was much more comfortable: Although he had to travel with the tenant farmers, he could enjoy the scenery of Nanpi County? ——He is really not bragging: under his governance, Nanpi County has changed every day, from the original lifelessness to gradually becoming full of vitality!
If you don’t believe it, look at the alleys and streets you pass outside the confines of Prince Bohai’s residence. Just look at the ground. It’s so flat and smooth, and it’s especially easy to identify!Furthermore, after passing one field after another, you can see that various vegetables are already growing in the fields... The seedlings show a green scene everywhere, which is really energetic.

congratulations!

After that, Liu Bian and his party walked further, and could still see strong men pushing carts at intervals, transporting long and thick wood; or there were scattered woodcutters carrying bundles of firewood and , walked silently to... the house of a small family in Xiaomen, selling some firewood and cash in exchange for a bag of rice.

On the roadside, there are still pedestrians in twos and threes, talking:

"Last time, Liu Sheren left a lot of animal bones. I was thinking of using them to make small trinkets. It would be good. Maybe I could sell them for a few bucks?"

"What?! You actually know how to make trinkets? Are you real or fake? - I want a jade bracelet, can you make it?"

"Would you like a jade bracelet made of animal bones?"

"want!!"

Glancing at the conversation place from the corner of his eye, Liu Bian saw the two people as expected. They happened to be a man and a woman, and they looked like a couple.

Smiling slightly, Liu Bian wondered for no reason: After the bracelet is finished, will it be the day to drink wedding wine?
"Did you see that?" Liu Bian said with crooked eyes to the twenty tenant farmers behind him, seemingly unintentionally, "We were all tenant farmers once?"

Twenty tenant farmers: "..."

The twenty tenant farmers accompanying him, like Liu Bian, had also witnessed the journey. At this time, they heard Liu Bian's emotion and looked very subtle: How long has it been? ——How long has it been since I saw such a peaceful county?
We are all sharecroppers, so why are the sharecroppers in Nanpi County so different from ourselves and the sharecroppers in our impressions?

Thinking back to those days, who was not burdened with huge debts, working hard every day, but still not having enough to eat or wearing warm clothes? No matter how hard they worked, they would always be hungry and poor!
What’s even scarier is: no one can get sick.

Once you get sick, you can get through it if you are in good health; if you are in bad health, then... in the final analysis, no matter how good the Ma family or the Meng family is, no matter how rich or status they have, it has nothing to do with the tenant farmers!

As a sharecropper, you have to farm the land for the owner of your family for the rest of your life, as if there is no end!

Naturally, the big families were determined not to hire doctors to treat the sick tenants—the doctors in Dongguang County were too expensive, and the tenants looked down upon them!

All the tenants were silent as they watched this with so many thoughts, but they all invariably felt a sense of closeness, yearning and expectation towards Nanpi City.Just as Liu Bian was watching the tenant farmers express their thoughts, he suddenly heard Yuan Shao shouting:

"Your Highness!!"

Liu Bian: "..."

ah!Yuan Shao? !
How did you come!

You're early!
