Royal Road - Chapter 105

[Chapter 105]

The bullock cart squeaked, and an old man sat in the cart and looked around.

I saw all the way along the road, the fields on both sides of the road, the wheat ears are golden, and the grains are full.

In the fields, there are only farmers who are rushing to harvest wheat. At this moment, they are fighting against the sky. In case of rain, the wheat ears will sprout and mold, and a year of hard work will be in vain. How can they not work hard? .

However, such a scene became a pleasing picture in the eyes of the old man.

Bingzhou has been in great famine year after year, and Shangdang was just hit by a tragic military disaster four years ago.

Under the natural and man-made disasters, a large number of people took their families and their families and fled to Yizhou and Yanzhou, thousands of miles of red land, and no roosters crowing on the road. Is there such a good harvest scene?

Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, such a piece of paradise has emerged near Gaodu, and it almost has the atmosphere of Taikang years.

Could it be that there is really a blessing from the Buddha?

The thought just flashed, and the old man shook his head and laughed.

Even if he thinks so, it is no wonder that those people believe that the Tinghou of Liang Mansion is the incarnation of Medicine Buddha.

However, this rumor also has its advantages. Not only Gaodu, but even Ji County where he is located has also tried to remove many locusts.

It is said that the plague of locusts is a natural disaster, and it is a warning sign from heaven.

But Luoyang is messed up like that, do you need a warning?

Anyway, the county magistrate was focused on talking and didn’t care about civil affairs, so he followed the newly appointed county magistrate of Gaodu to destroy the second locust together.

As a result, when the wheat was harvested, there was really no locust plague, and the scattered locusts were also sucked up by the bonfires lit at night.

As long as the status quo can be maintained next month, a lot of grain can be harvested this summer.

But compared to Gaodu and Liangfu, the few acres of land under his own control are really not worth mentioning.

I was invited to visit this time because I wanted to have a good relationship with the Buddhist son in the Liang residence.

Shangdang is in danger, and he is not a son of a high-ranking family. Since there is such a new emerging tyrant, it is natural to try to find ways to take refuge.

Being able to invite them, the impoverished county magistrates, to the Chongwu banquet, the Lianghou who wants to come is not an aristocratic family who only cares about the family.

He was really curious as to what the elegant and famous people who were rumored in Jinyang looked like.

The bullock cart drove all the way, passed through the tall gate of the village, and drove into the thick courtyard wall, and finally stopped in front of the gate of the mansion.

Knowing that he was not qualified to let the master go out to greet him, the old man didn’t care, so he slowly swallowed the ox cart and walked to the courtyard under the leadership of the servant.

The layout of this house is not as luxurious as imagined.

Observing the layout of the house calmly, he walked through several corridors and came to the main courtyard, only to see a few people sitting in the main hall.

Without the slightest deviation, his eyes were placed on the young man in the center.

The man was wearing a single Gesha robe, a scarf on his head, and a Yanju dress. He didn’t even sit upright, leaning easily on the Yinji behind him.

But even so, no one in the audience could suppress the elegance and extravagance in him, like a wild crane falling into a flock of chickens.

Not to mention the underprivileged children of them, even those from the Shangdang family who met him, they were afraid that they would hide their faces and avoid the road, so it would be better to retreat.

The old man was stunned for a while and forgot to salute, but the other party seemed to have just seen him, and asked with a smile, “But the county magistrate of Jixian County?

”

Liang Feng raised his hand lightly to stop: “The five festivals are important, why do you need to be more polite. Magistrate Liu, please come to the seat.”

Just a few words made people feel like a spring breeze.

Thanks to Liu’s age, and some determination, he didn’t lose his temper.

When he sat down in the hall, he realized that the people around him were all acquaintances.

The magistrate Guo of Gaodu, General Wu of Taihang Pass, and the magistrates of two nearby small counties.

It can be said that the commanders of the counties near Liangfu gathered together.

I’m afraid this is a scene that can only be seen at the county governor’s banquet.

However, other people, like myself, are all proud and proud.

Also, the name of the Buddha’s son is well known in all fields, and there is Dongying Gongzheng Pi, which can be said to be the most famous high school son of Shangdang.

To be able to get his banquet, but these humble officials can’t ask for a good thing.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Liang Feng smiled and said: “This time I invite you all to come and spend the heavy five together. It is really a blessing for Liang. Along the way, I am afraid that you will also see the scenery of the summer harvest. It is only due to the concerted efforts of all counties. The locust plague must be wiped out.”

This sentence complimented everyone present.

Guo Jiao smiled and twisted his beard: “If it wasn’t for Lianghou’s initiative, where would this summer harvest be? Lianghou is too modest. If you want to thank Lianghou, we should thank Lianghou.”

This flattery was just right, and the following people even claimed Yes, obviously he wants to befriend the Liang Mansion, but I don’t know one.

Liu Quan coughed: “I only heard about the land reclamation in Liangfu and Gaodu, and seeing it with my own eyes opened the eyes of the old man. This reclamation has supported many refugees, which is a blessing to the common people. This is an act of great compassion.”

These remarks praised Liang’s house, and emphasized the word “compassion”, putting all the credit on the head of the Buddha, Liang Feng, and the flattery was not obvious. No dew, more clever.

Guo Jiao suddenly glanced at him, this old thing is very flattering!

Not willing to show weakness, he immediately said: “Liu County Magistrate’s remarks are very true! Thanks to Liang’s residence, there has not been a single epidemic among the refugees. I am afraid that only Lianghou can do this.”

Listening to the two After taking pictures, Liang Feng couldn’t help but smile: “The two county magistrates are too modest, and a certain only did something within his ability. However, the government field under the leadership of the county magistrate is very prosperous. If other counties can follow the same rules, It

is the blessing of the common people.”

As soon as these words came out, the others fell silent.

They are all commanders, and who doesn’t know that arranging refugees is a thankless thing.

Not to mention that there is no money to support these small mouths, even if they spend a lot of money to feed people, I don’t know if they will leave the land for themselves.

One is not good. If you make refugees attack the county government, then you can steal the chicken and not lose the rice!

I don’t know how these refugees in Guojiao are raised.

There are hundreds of mouths, right? He is a small high capital, and there is so much food in the treasury?

Knowing his own affairs, Guo Jiao laughed when he saw that everyone was afraid to speak: “It’s also a riotous army crossing the border. If it wasn’t for

Lianghou’s instructions, how would I dare to open an official farm.”

Opening warehouses and releasing grains, tax reduction and taxation must be reported to the imperial court for instructions.

Therefore, to the outside world, Guo Jiao has always claimed to take refugees to reclaim official land. This is the practice of resettling refugees. Many large counties do this.

It is still in its infancy, producing just enough food to feed these populations.

After two seasons of planting, whether it is flooded with the county government or full of personal pockets, no one can fault it.

Guo Jiao’s wishful thinking was clanging, and Liang Feng naturally wouldn’t break it: “It’s still the county magistrate Guo who manages well. During these days, a certain overturned and waterwheels have also been trial-produced to withstand the drought. Don’t give up, I can send some craftsmen to the counties to promote the method of water conservancy.”

This is a great good thing, and it is also the job of the commanders.

However, it is estimated that these water conservancy projects will still cost money, and the county magistrate below hesitated, but Liu Quan did not hesitate: “Liang Hou is thoughtful, if Ji County can also build water conservancy projects, I’m afraid it will be a few years later. This is a great act of kindness.”

This definitely means holding his thighs firmly. It seems that the magistrate Liu really wants to join Liangfu.

Liang Feng understood, nodded and said: “If all the princes in the world have the diligent and diligent governance of the people present, it will be a blessing for the common people.”

Seeing that the chatting time was not short, Liang Feng stopped talking about these political affairs and said with a smile: “Since it is During the Chongwu Festival, it is better to have a banquet first. Everyone, please come with me.”

This is a serious banquet.

Everyone’s heart was relieved, and they got up and followed Liang Feng to the inner courtyard.

The banquet venue chosen this time is a pavilion near the water, with a few weeping willows fluttering in the wind on the shore, which is quite elegant.

Unexpectedly, the Liang Mansion did not arrange a banquet and music for the singer, and just put the table on the table.

But that’s not a bad thing.

It’s both elegant music and poetry. Everyone here may not be able to join in this fun. It seems that Lianghou is indeed hosting a banquet for them, rather than showing off his high school.

Sitting in the room, several people were only deeply grateful, and they never felt that they were being treated lightly.

When I saw the dishes on the table, I was even more surprised!

I have never seen this dish before!

There are five plates and one bowl on each table, and two small horned millets are placed in the black pottery plate.

The corn millet used was not yellow millet, but white rice!

This is the Northland, there is not much rice, and the glutinous rice that can be made into horned millet is even rarer.

Moreover, the corn millet is not stuffed with meat, but a red date and a mashed bean paste. The glittering and jade-like corn millet shows a little bright red, which looks particularly attractive.

The other discs are also different.

The fish is not steamed, but golden brown and crispy by some unknown method, with a thick circle of sauce sprinkled on it, which is fragrant and fragrant.

The mutton is stewed with radish, which is a common practice, but how can you eat radish at this season?

If it is stored in winter, it is not easy to put it now.

Among the green leeks, there were a lot of finger-sized river prawns mixed in. The prawns were white and red, and the leeks were tender and tender, as if they had just been picked from the ground.

There is also a plate of sauerkraut, which is garnished with finely minced garlic, and the smell will open the appetite.

It’s not common to have that bowl of soup left over.

It used minced bacon, red diced meat, white rice and white porridge, and garnished with green ear and green onion. There were two cup-sized pancakes next to it, not steamed pancakes. Sheep fat fragrance.

Although the portions of several meals are not large, they are dazzlingly matched, and they are definitely more novel and delicious than any meal they have ever seen.

“Lianghou is really… ashamed of me.” Liu Quan looked at the food on the table, his eyes were straight, such hospitality, it is not an exaggeration to entertain guests!

It is simply unbearable to entertain these poor families!

Guo Jiao was already sucking in his saliva and boasted: “The food in Lianghou’s house is the most delicate, and it is truly the best in the world.”

Liang Feng smiled and held up the chopstick: “The food is simple and simple, if you like it, you can use it more.

” Who would be polite with such a warm hospitality?

Everyone ate happily.

The fish did not have too many thorns, and the sauce was not salty, but fresh and sweet.

The mutton was boiled so tenderly that even the radish was full of thick juice.

The prawns have bullet teeth, the leeks are refreshing, and the woks with minced garlic is even more refreshing and delicious.

Liu Quan savoured the glutinous rice and corn millet on the plate. The dates and mashed bean inside seemed to be soaked with caramel and honey, and the heart of the sticky person was sweet.

Wu Ling loved that bowl of soup and shortbread the most. After a big mouthful of it, the belly was full of deliciousness and the aftertaste was endless.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, and even Liu Quan, who was on a diet to maintain health, couldn’t help but feel a little bloated.

Everyone wandered along the mountainside orchard, and the craftsmen were brought out. If they wanted to build a rollover, they could follow them back to the county.

Eating people is soft-spoken, even the two county magistrates who don’t want to work hard to rectify the water conservancy can’t help but agree.

And Liu Quan even hit the idea of a tall waterwheel. Unexpectedly, Liang Feng did not refuse, and promised to send someone back to Jixian to check it out.

As a result, even the small counties near Liangfu will have overturned trucks to enhance water conservancy.

As long as there is no military disaster, after two years, the warehouse will be full.

This is also enough for people to get promoted.

After being treated like this and pointing out a way out for the future, who is dissatisfied and happy?

After sending off the people, only Wu Ling remained: “Lianghou, now the two emperors are in the hands of the last generals, but the troops are slightly insufficient.”

With 800 soldiers missing, Wu Ling has always been A heartache.

It’s good for everyone to check, but if someone does check, it’s easy to make mistakes.

In addition, the city is currently being built in the Xingdao. If someone attacks, what should I do?

Liang Feng said sternly: “The two roads are the lifeblood of protecting the safety of this place. You should recruit a group of people. It is better to wait until the summer harvest, when the county magistrate of Guo can be self-sufficient, and you can recruit people from the refugees. Ding, return to the army.”

“That’s very good!” Wu Ling waited for this sentence, and now he is also a member of the Liangfu boat, without Liang Feng’s instructions, it is really difficult to act.

“However, because of the dangers of Xingdao, you have to be cautious. If General Wu does not give up, I can also send a few people over to help you train the soldiers. But one thing is, these soldiers must be paid according to pay!” Liang Feng is not like Seeing that the key lifeline fell into the hands of the enemy because of withholding food.

Naturally, this point needs to be emphasized.

“Let’s rest assured Lianghou, the last commander must guard the passage well, and never fail!” What a joke, this road now bears the responsibility of business.

The dividends given to him by the Liang Mansion are not small, enough to fill his own pockets, so why bother with the rations in the mouths of the soldiers?

Seeing Wu Ling’s happy promise, Liang Feng also felt relieved.

As long as some people can be placed in the army, these two paths will sooner or later change their surnames to Liang.

The improved protection capability is also very useful for future wars.

In this way, the surrounding four fields can be considered stable, and as long as there is two years of development time, it can be exchanged for a depth that is safe and prosperous.

As long as two years…
