Chen Baisong took Ni Wenjun away, pretending to go to Chen Youliang, killing him unexpectedly.

Li Congrong will lead people to follow, and will support when the situation is bad.

Lin Yuan was in Hanyang, handling Hanyang's government affairs, and waiting for news from Anfeng.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in the city of Hanyang. It has not been a few months since they won Hanyang. If there is no strong army to guard it, no one can say if anyone will be bold.

Lin Yuan asked people to divide Hanyang's market, just like Gaoyou, to build various factories so that the poor people could find jobs.

As for the big officials and big households in Hanyang, Lin Yuan asked Yang Shaowei to deal with them.

He can now free up his hands and focus on the people's livelihood.

The economy of Hanyang is not bad. Although the court is smoggy, the market is still there. The people are not doing well, but after all, it is in the capital of Tianwan, which is not too bad.

But in places other than Hanyang, counties, districts, villages and towns are different. The emperor is far away from the sky, and the local officials are the emperors. Even a village leader can dominate.

What You Ming is about to move is the surrounding villages and towns. If the villages and towns are changed, it will gradually affect the city.

Lijia Village is at the foot of the mountain. People here rely on farming and hunting for their livelihoods, but the land here is not fat. When the court was in charge of the past, they planted the land and hunted by themselves, but they couldn’t make ends meet. After giving birth, there are only one or two who stay with them.

The other children were sold away. If the family can have the money and eat a few full meals, the child will have a chance to survive.

Li Er is an ordinary villager in Lijia Village. His family has no land. He was a hunter a few generations ago. Now he is still a hunter. But after generations, the prey on the mountain has gradually decreased. Although he can't die from starvation, life can be better. go with.

Now they have changed people again. I heard that it is the Southern King. They have never been out of this small mountain village in their entire life. Naturally, they don't know who the Southern King is and what deeds they have.

The days seem to have not changed.

It doesn't matter whether the person on top of the head is changed or not.

"Li Er, there's someone from above." The villager ran to his door breathlessly, "Let us all pass by. No one is missing. You should also go to your house quickly. Don't make people wait anxious."

When Li Er hurried away, he took all his family members with him, his parents, daughter-in-law, and three children.

No one knows what happened or what they did in the past.

His wife walked behind him and asked cautiously: "The head of the house, nothing will happen, right?"

Li Er didn't know, but he calmly said, "There should be nothing wrong. Don't be afraid. If there is anything wrong, I will protect you."

The daughter-in-law stopped talking.

But they knew in their hearts that if something really happened, they couldn't run away, but they didn't dare not to go, so they walked to the village with fear.

They saw a group of soldiers from a distance, about a dozen, each holding a weapon, looking very vicious, like bandits, and many of them had scars on their faces, very hideous.

The wife took hold of his clothes, and her whole body was shaking.

Li Er gritted his teeth, and continued walking with his family.

The ordinary people are simple, and most of the time they can only accept passively instead of making their own choices.

There are no more mature men in Lijia Village. Most of them have been conscripted. There is only one adult male in the family. There are more women than men, old and weak, sick and disabled. They just want to run, and they can’t run with a small family. , Can only pass honestly.

Li Er walked into the crowd, and the family was close together, seeming to want to draw strength from each other.

"Everyone is here." The village said to the leading soldier. He bent over and lowered his head, squeezing a pleasing smile on his gully face.

The soldier said: "Since everyone has fallen, then I will say it."

"Now you are all under the control of the Southern Bodhisattva, and in the future, you will also be the people of the Southern Bodhisattva."

"We are not here this time for conscription, but if you want to join the army, you can just come to me directly."

No one dared to interrupt when he was speaking as a soldier. The villagers looked up at him, their plain faces were completely blank.

The soldier continued: "The South Bodhisattva said, which villages to do in the future are all required. Your village needs to raise chickens. We will build the sheds. You don’t need to spend money on the chickens. We will Come here, grab the chickens that are trading at the price."

"Each village must have a chicken-raising veteran." The soldier winked, and a middle-aged man with the appearance of a farmer waved at them quickly and smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, that's it, you guys go on your own." The soldier said, "Ask me if you don't understand."

When the crowd dispersed, Li Ercai took his family home again, and the whole family sat around the table.

The daughter-in-law couldn't help asking: "Raise chickens? How many chickens?"

"Can you eat chicken?" When the child is young, he thinks of meat when he hears chicken. "Are there eggs to eat?"

The daughter-in-law also asked: "Are we just raising chickens for the elders above?"

Li Er sat aside, kept his hands in the process of weaving rattan baskets. He raised his head after hearing the words, with a confused expression: "The soldier said just now that they will build the shed and the chickens don’t need money. Only catch the chickens that have been paid."

The daughter-in-law asked carefully: "Is that...the chicken is raised, how many can we divide?"

Li Er is not sure: "...probably?"

Soon, the soldiers began to build sheds. They were strong and quick to move. The wood used to build the sheds was cut by themselves in the mountains, faster than the carpenters did. The village was watching by the side and found these The soldier didn't have a big temper, so he plucked up the courage and asked, "Master soldier, what are you doing?"

The soldier replied: "Finish all these pieces of wood according to the drawings. Then the assembly will be completed, which is much more convenient."

Cunzheng would also do carpentry work. He looked at it, and started to do it together. Although he couldn't read the words, he still understood the picture. The more he looked at it, the more he couldn't bear to put down the paper.

But I dare not ask if I can take this drawing back.

The villagers did not dare to approach at first, but dared to watch from a distance. Later, they found that the soldiers were very busy every day and had no time to take care of them. The shed was built quickly and large, and they were busy with their work. They will go over and watch it, and they seem to have a strange sense of participation when they see the chicken shed from scratch.

After all, the shed is simple, unlike a modern chicken farm.

The chicken raiser who was brought to this village said to the villagers, "You have to be careful about raising chickens. How good you raise chickens. There are eggs and meat. I have raised chickens for more than ten years. This chicken is just like people. If you treat it well, it will treat you well."

When the greenhouse was built and the chickens were delivered, the villagers suddenly realized that the soldiers were leaving.

However, the soldiers warned them before leaving: "We will come every month. If you don't raise them well, we will take the chickens back."

"Also, if anything happens to Master Zhao, I will also ask you to settle the account."

Master Zhao is a professional who was sent to the villagers to raise chickens in greenhouses. He raised chickens very well in Gaoyou before.

He was sent to provide technical assistance this time. If he returns to Gaoyou later, his title can be evaluated, he can be assigned a larger house, and his monthly salary will be adjusted upwards. Otherwise, he won’t be from Gaoyou. Came to this poor and backward place.

Li Er is an active person. Seeing that he can't find any prey, he always comes to Master Zhao.

He doesn't dislike that raising chickens and ducks is a woman's job, the most important thing is to find a new life as soon as possible.

And Master Zhao relies on this to feed, so he naturally has to ask more.

"A few years earlier, when Nan Bodhisattva was still in trouble, Gaoyou was not like it is now." Master Zhao ate dried meat and gave Li Er a piece. Now Li Er talks to him every day. He has to be nice to others. "At that time, I lived on two acres of land and had to pay taxes, but I was not the worst. The worst was the salt people, who could only transport salt, and the people above would have no food. Eat more, do not necessarily take more."

"I raised chickens at that time, and raised delicious meat. If I can lay an egg a day, it will be a good day." Master Zhao laughed, "Chickens are not easy to raise, so I bought large ones at the beginning. , The big one is easy to raise, and the latter is easy to raise, I just started raising chickens."

When Master Zhao talked about the past, his eyes drifted a little: "Later, the little official who took care of our piece, saw that my chickens were well raised, so I asked me to raise them, but he was given one chicken and seven eggs every seven days."

Master Zhao: "I didn't want to raise chickens anymore, but he still wanted to come to me to get them..."

Li Er did not speak.

Master Zhao: "I can only spend money to buy it. I didn't have a lot of money. The day became more and more sad, and my mother-in-law ran away.

"I don't know where she went now, or if she is still alive."

Master Zhao wiped his face: "Fortunately, I still have a daughter. I can hold on with her."

"After the South Bodhisattva came, he started to build a factory to raise chickens, ducks and pigs." Master Zhao's face had a smile on his face, "So many chickens! I feed them all! I can't count the eggs every day. !"

Master Zhao asked Li Er: "When was the last time you ate chicken?"

Li Er was stunned. Last time he hit a pheasant on the mountain. That was all last year: "Last year."

Master Zhao whispered: "When I was in Gaoyou, I could eat two eggs every day, and I had meat every meal. Because I did a good job, I can bring a chicken back every month besides monthly money. The **** is still an old hen. It’s up to me to choose, I like to choose the cock, my daughter likes to eat.”

Li Er listened, with a mouthful of saliva in his mouth, he wanted to eat meat.

After there were fewer prey on the mountain, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

He would rather give the villagers more food than eat.

Master Zhao patted Li Er on the shoulder: "You are lucky! With the South Bodhisattva here, you can live a good life."

Li Er looked at Master Zhao blankly. He didn't know if the Nan Bodhisattva was a Bodhisattva, but as long as they were not hungry, he was a true Bodhisattva.
