Eternal traitor

Chapter 185 Lazy Officers and Soldiers

On the outskirts of Fenglan County.

As the carriage moved forward, refugees in ragged clothes could be seen everywhere, and some of their emaciated bodies could even see skinny bones.At the place where the food was released, a group of people were waiting for the distribution in an orderly manner. After all, this was the happiest moment of their day.The unpalatable paste can give them more comfort in their empty stomachs. Children, the woman has a smile on her face. After all, on the premise of not starving to death, hope has come to them again.

In a small team of ten people, they can get the seeds to sow, and Li Hua promised them that no tax will be collected for the first five years, and [-]% of the grain will be handed over after five years. All in one squad.Not only that, but with the tools, they have already started to work hard for their own livelihood. Every time they pass a distance, they can see the simple houses built by refugees.

The house is not good, it can only provide shelter from the wind and rain, but even so they are very content.After work, the refugees talked about their work progress and their yearning for a better life. Li Hua spread hope to the hearts of these refugees and filled these homeless people with hope for the future. look forward to.

"The more you work, the more you get. There is no pie in the sky."

Li Hua looked at the figures of refugees working on the barren hills and sighed softly. He knew the difficulty of opening up wasteland. In the past few years, he could not get much food from farming. Only after time accumulated and the poor land was improved into fertile soil, Life will be easier for these people.This does not include natural disasters, floods, droughts, earthquakes.You can't get sick either, it's nothing more than a minor ailment, you may be able to get over it with a little resistance, but if it's a serious illness, the whole person and the whole family will be ruined.

Li Hua has tried his best to help this group of people, but how many of them really survived? ?How many people who died can still be remembered by the world? ?

After half an hour's journey, Li Hua and others finally arrived at their destination.This is a good place surrounded by mountains and rivers. If you look around, there is a wide river at the end of your eyes. Although the river water is a bit muddy, it is infinitely stronger than the pollution of later generations.Above the river, there is a quarry that has been dug halfway up the mountain, and small people like ants are working hard on the quarry.

The carriage was parked in a remote place, the horses were tied up, the coachman led the way, and Li Hua and others followed behind. The hard ground and hard stones made the soles of everyone's feet a little uncomfortable. Li Hua's cowhide boots It's pretty good, but other people's cheap shoes are a bit helpless.Even the refugees are unwilling to pass through the rubble all over the ground, so the quarry can still operate intact without being harassed by the refugees.

When approaching the quarry, Li Hua and others could even see a few birds chirping non-stop on the branches of the tree, several small insects flying past in front of him, and beautiful flowers blooming colorful flowers. flower.Li Hua didn't know how long it had been since he had seen all this. Ever since he came to Qin, deserters all over the place gnawed away all the bark they passed, let alone these birds and bugs. Some were caught and eaten long ago.

There was nothing to say along the way, Li Hua didn't complain, and the people behind him didn't dare to shout tired. The coachman, who seemed to be used to suffering, seemed a little calm and walked briskly.As the coachman said, everyone walked to the gate of the quarry within a short time.

"It looks pretty close, but it's so far away when you walk away."

Li Hua, who finally arrived at the destination, was not only a little emotional, but just got off the carriage and looked at the quarry that was close at hand, but it took so long to come here.

In front of several people, there is a wooden door more than ten meters high. Each piece of wood is made of thick trees after rough treatment. The wooden door is built in the middle of the gap between two mountain peaks, with a width of five or six meters. It happened to block the only place for this entrance and exit.It is as difficult as heaven for those who work inside to escape.In front of the wooden door stood four "free and easy" soldiers. Each of these soldiers shrunk their clothes into a ball and tied them around their waists without any rules. what tree leaves.

The emerald green leaves are about the size of a football, and it is quite cool to buckle on the head.The two stood in the front with spears in their hands and still looked like three-point guards. As for the two behind them, it was even more unbearable. They were sitting on the ground lazily basking in the sun. When Li Hua and others approached, they still had no reaction. .

"Who are you?? What are you doing here??"

Finally, the bragging guards in front of them found Li Hua and the others who were less than 20 meters away from them. They nervously grabbed their weapons a few times before holding the spear in their hands. People, because they were too nervous, even their hands trembled uncontrollably.With such a posture, let alone defending against the enemy, it is not bad if the enemy rushes over and does not run.

"This is Mr. Li, the magistrate of Fenglan County, why don't you move away?"

Li San took a step forward, glanced at the "counselor" in front of him with some disdain, and shouted angrily. Li San never had a good face towards such "defective products".

"Magistrate Li? Is there a token??"

Although a little scared, the guard's last bit of sense of responsibility still made him ask his own doubts.

"This is my official seal, can it prove my identity?"

Li Hua took out the official seal in his arms and held it in his hand.The pure white jade is extraordinarily beautiful under the setting sun, coupled with the special words under the official seal, it instantly impressed the soldiers in front of them.

"My lord, wait for a moment, and the villain will report right now."

"Go."

Even though he was his subordinate, Li Hua didn't want to break the rules. Reporting was a basic thing to do, and it wouldn't be too late to wait for the master to come out. Anyway, he didn't plan to go back tonight, and he had plenty of time.

"Yes."

After receiving the permission from the county lord, the pawn in front of him ran in a panic while putting on his clothes, took off the nondescript leaves on his head, put on the hat that was placed not far away, and trotted all the way into the mining area. Inside the quarry.

"Hello, Mr. County."

"The county grandpa will bring you water."

"The county master and villain will beat your legs."

When the remaining three people heard that Li Hua was the magistrate of Fenglan County, they changed completely. After putting on their own clothes, they took the only things they could express themselves, and brought tea and water to Li Hua with charming smiles. up.You must know that the biggest official they can meet in the past is the "head" of the quarry, and the county master is someone who even needs to curry favor with the head of the quarry. Whoever sees the emperor of Fenglan County can not take good care of him? ? ?
