Capital Datang

"This...how is this so embarrassing?" Hearing Xiao Lin's invitation, the old hunter waved his hands again and again.After all, in his opinion, he just provided the other party with a place to stay, and he didn't help at all. He really couldn't afford the other party's meal.

Seeing that the old hunter refused, Xiao Lin walked over to hold him back and said, "Don't refuse, old man. We met in this desolate mountain, so it's fate. In addition, I really have some questions I want to ask you." Ask, we can talk while eating!"

Seeing Xiao Lin's warm invitation, the old hunter was no longer polite, and seeing how rich the food was, they really couldn't eat their own corn bread, so they brought their two sons to sit with Xiao Lin and the others. , the people on the side immediately served them three big bowls of soup, and the noodle cakes were also brought up" ".

The old hunter and his two sons didn't say anything. First, they picked up a piece of bread that was as big as a pot, put it under their noses and smelled it carefully, and then took a hard bite. As a result, this kind of bread It was really good, and it was roasted on the fire just now, and the mouthful for the three of them was too big, so they all choked and rolled their eyes.Fortunately, there was still a bowl of soup in front of them, and they took a few mouthfuls of soup before swallowing the bread.

Although the old hunter was a little embarrassed by his messy appearance, he didn't care so much. After all, they hadn't eaten a flatbread made of pure flour for a long time, not to mention there is so much meat now. Although the taste of the dishes and soup is a bit strange, after a few sips, you will feel a kind of sweetness, so it is not bad.Capital Datang 463

It is precisely because of this that the three old hunters, father and son, gobbled it up.They quickly wiped out the bread in their hands, and they were embarrassed to take it again.But Xiao Lin looked at them, it was obvious that they were not full.So I asked someone to bring some more, but the three of them were not polite. After a while, the three of them ate eight sheets of noodles, and then finished the soup in front of them. Burp.

Seeing the appetite of the three of them, not only Xiao Lin was shocked, but even rough people like Xiao Wu were a little surprised. All the doughnuts they brought were as big as pot lids.One noodle cake is enough to feed a strong man, and even a person with a small appetite can't eat one noodle cake a day, such as Xiao Lin, his meal is only half a meal at most, even for a big belly like Xiao Wu Han, one noodle cake is enough for a meal, but it's a pity to look at others, except for the old hunter who ate two noodle cakes.The other two young people actually ate three. To put it bluntly, they could eat more than pigs.

In fact, Xiao Lin and the others didn't know that the old hunters and the others did physical work.Even if some prey were caught, they would be sold and exchanged for some necessities of life, so they would not be able to eat such a good meal for many years.There is no oil and water in their stomachs, so their appetites are often surprisingly large.It is not surprising to eat a few catties of pasta for a meal.As for Xiao Wu and the others, they usually have no shortage of wine and meat.The nutrition keeps up, so the natural appetite is not as good as others.

Seeing that the old hunter was full, Xiao Lin ate a few mouthfuls, and then asked: "Old man, we heard that there are many fugitives in this mountain, do you always know where they all live?" ?”

The old hunter already knew Xiao Lin's identity, and also knew what they were doing, so he was not surprised at his question, and immediately replied with a smile: "Master, you are asking the right person, how long has this old man lived in this mountain?" Ten years, and because I want to hunt, I often travel around, and I am most familiar with the terrain here."

When he was talking about this, the old hunter paused for a while, and then he said: "We have a lot of hills, and the roads are not good, so there are many fugitives living here. There are eleven villages, and if you go further west, there should be some more, but it's too far away, and I haven't been there."

Hearing that the old hunter knew eleven villages, Xiao Lin was also very pleasantly surprised. What he was happiest was that he could find someone who knew the local conditions, so that he wouldn't have to run around like a blind cat.

Xiao Lin took out a pen and paper and asked the old hunter to draw the nearby terrain, especially the villages he knew.The old hunter ate other people's food, so naturally he would not refuse, so he quickly drew a sketch. Although this picture was very rough, and only marked a few mountains and the directions of the eleven villages, it had already helped Xiao Lin's busy.In addition, Xiao Lin asked the old hunter to tell the name of the village, and he also noted the name, so that he can find it later.

After drawing the map, Xiao Lin asked the old hunter some information about the villages, such as how many people are there?How is the life of the people in the village?How do you usually live and so on? The old hunter also answered these questions one by one. Thanks to him hunting around, he knows the situation in the surrounding villages very well. Can't answer.

After learning about the situation of the surrounding villages, Xiao Lin did not rest either. Instead, he picked up a pen and wrote down the names of the villages one by one on the paper, and then marked the situation of these villages, especially in terms of population. In detail, but he only got a general idea from the old hunter. In the past few days, he will go to the villages in person, and then record the population of each village in detail.Of course, the most important thing is to convince them to move to Taiwan.

After Xiao Lin finished recording the information, Xiao Wu put a basin of hot water at his feet and said, "My lord, you can soak your feet in hot water, and pick up the blisters on your feet later, otherwise tomorrow you will die." I can't walk anymore."

Xiao Wu is Xiao Lin's family general, and the relationship between the two is regarded as master and servant. Although Xiao Wu also has an official status now, Xiao Wu still regards himself as a servant along the way, and never forgets to take care of Xiao Lin's life.However, Xiao Lin felt a little uncomfortable. He said Xiao Wu a few times at the beginning, but unfortunately it didn't have any effect. In the end, he was too lazy to talk about it.

Xiao Lin took off the shoes and socks. The blisters on his feet had been worn out and even bled. As a result, the socks were stuck together, and he finally took them off.After soaking his feet in hot water, Xiao Wu pierced the blisters with a needle, took out anti-inflammatory medicinal wine and wiped it on, and then let Xiao Lin lie down and sleep.

As for Xiao Lin's situation, the rest of the team also knew about it, especially when they saw the blisters on the bottom of Xiao Lin's feet, they all showed admiration on their faces, and they all knew Xiao Lin's background The aristocratic family, it is said that they have a relationship with His Royal Highness King Qi. Originally relying on this relationship, he could have easily been a leisurely official sitting in court, but Xiao Lin went to this deep mountain and old forest to persuade them The fugitives were relocated, and suffered as much as they did, but they never complained, which won the admiration of everyone, and at the same time allowed Xiao Lin to establish his own prestige.

Xiao Lin and the others had traveled all day, so they were all extremely tired. Most of them snored as soon as they lay down. According to the statistics of the number of fugitives, the 20 teams under him will soon run all over Jianzhou, and according to the news sent back last time, coupled with his own statistics and understanding, the total number of fugitives in the entire Jianzhou should be In addition, as far as he knows, the official population of Jianzhou is 40. That is to say, the number of fugitives is half of the official population. The actual population should be around 60.

Then Xiao Lin suddenly thought that the official population of Datang is now about 320 million households. If one household has five members, that is about 600 million people.Calculated according to the above ratio of fugitives, then the number of fugitives in Datang should be 800 million. If all these 800 million fugitives can be relocated overseas, then Liu Lang's great career will be accomplished soon. Only these 800 million people Fertility, you don't have to worry about future population issues!

However, Xiao Lin also understands that there is a huge deviation in his estimation above. The Central Plains area is the place with the most concentrated population in the Tang Dynasty, and the household registration management there is relatively strict, and the number of fugitives is very small. Only in the southern region will there be a large number of fugitives, so the ratio above is not accurate. The real number of fugitives should be lower than 800 million. It is estimated that there may be 600 million. Not all of them are willing to immigrate, but as long as half of them immigrate overseas, then Liu Lang should be able to flex his muscles and achieve a feat comparable to that of His Majesty today!

Xiao Lin couldn't help being a little excited when he thought that he could follow Li Yin and make a big career overseas.Speaking of which, he was born in the Xiao family of Lanling, and his cousin Xiao Wenxin is also Li Min's concubine. With his status, he can find a more leisurely position at any time, but Xiao Lin is not willing to rely on connections to get a position. He is a man with backbone, and he is still young. He wants to use his own efforts to go up step by step. In addition, he also believes that only by climbing up from the bottom step by step can he get Li Yin's attention, and there will be others in the future. Greater development prospects!

Thinking of Li Yin, Xiao Lin couldn't help but think of his cousin Wen Xin. When he returned to Taiwan from Japan last time, he found out about Wen Xin's pregnancy. This made him very excited as a cousin, and at the same time secretly He breathed a sigh of relief, originally Wen Xin had no heirs, which had already affected their Xiao family's status in Qi Wangfu, but with this pregnancy, no one dared to say yes to their Xiao family anymore.Capital Datang 463

If Wenxin can win a man in one fell swoop, then not only will Wenxin's position as princess be more stable, but also their Lanling Xiao Clan will gain a lot of prestige. , will also be the strongest backing for Xiaoshizi. In addition, brothers Lu Hong, Lu Qing, Hu Li, and Zhou Long also seem to support Wenxin very much. I believe that with their support, Xiaoshizi's status will definitely be regrettable move!

Just as Xiao Lin was thinking about the relationship between the rise and fall of his family and Li Yin, snowflakes suddenly began to fall outside the cave, and with the arrival of this winter snow, Li Yin in Taiwan met a small Trouble! (To be continued.)
