dandy city lord

Chapter 36 Sad reminder to the world!

the next morning
Yang Hu rushed out of the west of the city with Liu Si on his horse.

Now that he has figured out his rights, he is going to see what this unshitty Lincheng prefecture looks like.

Really quickly, Yang Hu saw it.

The former king of killers also grew up eating, not a prostitute, of course he knows that the most difficult thing in this war-torn world is that the people depend on food!
As a result, less than 500 meters away from Lincheng, as if joking, those sparse rice fields appeared in his eyes.

The rice fields are in a mess.

The rice seedlings are turning yellow. At this time, there are very few rice seedlings that should have sufficient water for earing, and the entire farmland is more like a muddy pond.

Yang Hu actually saw a few skinny piglets rolling in the field.The farmland on the edge of the city can grow into such a ghostly appearance, one can imagine what it would be like in other places.

Liu Si quietly glanced at Yang Hu with a gloomy face: "City Master, the surrounding area of ​​the city has already been considered. In other places, due to the problem of water sources, even the rice seedlings can't be seen."

"Then what do they eat?" Yang Hu raised his eyebrows!
Liu Si shook his head: "The food production in Lincheng is very small, and some rice can be grown on the edge of the city, and sweet potatoes are mostly grown in the villages, and the harvest is better. The other is to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and fruits, tree trunks and turf. Those who are capable go into the mountains to hunt by themselves.”

But he was cursing secretly in his heart: "It's not you who is making trouble. A few years ago, there was some harvest, but now there is nothing. I will take you to see the evil you have done today."

Listening to what Liu Si was saying, Yang Hudan felt pain: "Look around, and then take me to the village to have a look."

Liu Si nodded, rode his horse and rushed out, and the two of them galloped away!

Liu Si took Yang Hu for a non-stop stroll around Lincheng for a day, looked at the farmland and vegetable fields around the city, and finally came to the ruins of a water conservancy project that had been shut down for a long time.

This is a dam built in a col.

Liu Si introduced to Yang Hu: "This is the largest reservoir in the prefectural capital. The deepest is [-] feet, the widest is [-] feet, and there are dozens of mountains on both sides of the river. If it is completed, there..."

Liu Si turned around and pointed to the location of Lincheng: "The water around Lincheng, including more than a dozen villages, can be solved."

He salivated and said to Yang Hu with a smile: "I remember that when I was working here, the Lord City Lord never came here once."

Yang Hu stared: "Speak the business."

He stepped forward.

Only one-third of the dam ridge has been built, and there are scattered stones everywhere, and weeds have grown in the crevices of the stones, making it a desolate place.

"It took three full years to build the Mingjing Lake Dam back then, using all the labor of the state capital." Liu Si followed behind Yang Hu and introduced: "During the past three years, the roads leading to the state capital and various villages below The excavation of the canal is not counted. In the end, it still rotted here. Otherwise, the life of the people in the villages would be much better."

Yang Hu turned his head and squinted at Liu Si: "Look at the pond, have you learned how to express your feelings?"

Liu Si giggled dryly: "My lord, I don't think you're bored!"

"Boring fart!" Yang Hu cursed and roared angrily: "Those people have no energy to work without food, what are they going to pay me with taxes? I'm almost bankrupt now!"

Liu Si was speechless for a moment.

The two galloped for a day, and Liu Si took Yang Hu to a nearby village called Luanshidui to spend the night.

After entering the village, just as Yang Hu turned over and got off his horse, he stepped on the **** with a thud.

Hahaha, Liu Si's crazy and magical laughter was immediately attracted.

Yang Hu was also embarrassed, and went to the side to wipe the garbage on the bottom of his feet, while inspecting the village of hundreds of families.

Genius is not black!
The stockade of hundreds of families was already very quiet and there was no sound at all.

There was not even a little bit of candlelight.

Yang Hu frowned: "Why is there no one?"

Liu Si shook his head: "I'm all asleep! I have to go out every day to find food and farm. Not many people will have too much energy when they come back. They will fall asleep after eating and drinking."

Yang Hu twitched his cheeks and muttered: "It's just suitable for making villains."

Liu Si couldn't understand what he said, so he took the horse and walked into the village to find an acquaintance.

Zhang Xing is 46 years old. He is from Luanshidui Village. He is an honest family of four. There are no elderly people in the two families, only two children.

The arrival of Liu Si and Yang Hu made Zhang Xing and his wife get up and get busy, he greeted the two of them to come in and sit down, and the couple went back to get them something to eat and drink.

The house was filled with a musty smell of debris.

Liu Si was still a little worried in his heart that this moody city lord would be uncomfortable, but Yang Hu seemed calm.

Until Zhang Xing came out with a small dustpan basket, and put six or seven sweet potatoes with crooked melons and dates in it, Zhang Xing said to Liu Si in embarrassment: "Four brothers, you and this big brother will deal with it. There is nothing at home. It's dawn, I'll go into the mountains to hunt some wild game for you to satisfy your hunger."

Yang Hu was not polite, he reached out and grabbed a sweet potato, wiped it, took a big bite off a piece and began to chew.

It doesn't taste good.

It should be the sweet potato used for seeding. After sprouting, it still smells musty even after being cooked, making it difficult to swallow.

There was no change on Yang Hu's face, he ate one mouthful after another under Liu Si's surprised gaze, and then picked up another big mouthful to chew.

Liu Si was a little sad, and picked up a sweet potato, chewed it up and said vaguely: "This is for planting. Brother Zhang almost couldn't come back when he went up the mountain once. I was rescued by Dad."

Yang Hu raised his head and smiled at Zhang Xing: "I'm afraid I can't keep up with eating this at home now?"

Zhang Xing smiled in embarrassment and rubbed his hands: "There are still three or four catties, which is enough for planting next year. You can rest assured that you will be fine."

Yang Hu nodded, ate three in one go, and then stopped to wipe his mouth: "Adults who don't usually eat can bear it, what about children?"

Speaking of children, Zhang Xing actually laughed: "We don't need to worry about those little ghosts. We can always find something when we go up the mountain and down the river every day. Sometimes we can even bring some home."

Yang Hu smiled: "How old are you?"

"The older one is eleven, and the younger one is eight years old." Zhang Xing sat down beside him with a smile, took out a tobacco leaf, rolled a cigarette and lit it: "No one can do anything about it, there is little rain this year, and there is no harvest in the fields. The city lord is a pig again, he doesn't know how to do things, hey!"

Liu Si looked at Yang Hu in horror.

Yang Hu looked calm, just smiled at Zhang Xing.

Liu Si thought for a while, and then he plucked up the courage to say to Yang Hu: "There are more than 4000 villages under the jurisdiction of the Linzhou City Mansion, scattered around Lincheng, with different distances, don't underestimate these 2000 villages. , Lincheng Prefecture has a population of more than [-], and nearly [-] of them belong to the residents of the village. The population of the city occupies another half. It is a [-]-[-] split.”

"With such a large population, the city has no ability to manage it, and the villagers have no ability to live better. I really want to express my feelings...the city...success."

Liu Si didn't dare to call Yang Hu the City Lord, no matter how poor the villagers were, they were really far away from the City Lord and harbored resentment.

Yang Hu raised his eyebrows, and said to Zhang Xing inexplicably: "These are all mine, what should be done is still to be done."

Zhang Xing didn't understand.

Liu Si didn't understand either.
