Royal Road - Chapter 65

[Chapter 65]

All the way from the county seat to the Liang Mansion, in just two days, the number of refugees behind the convoy had changed from two to sixty.

Seeing this group of refugees, Ah Liang complained with a headache: “Lord Lang, now that the winter wheat sowing has been missed, how should these people be accommodated?

” Let’s go to Huai Village. Mix more bran in the rations, so that people will not starve to death. There are also shacks that you have to build yourself, so you can’t let people sit idle all of a sudden. The surrounding fields are also ploughed deeply while the weather is cold, and the wheat harvest will be held in the spring. Better.” Liang Feng didn’t care and ordered.

No matter how much food is stored, such an unlimited shelter of refugees is not a problem.

However, Alliang just opened his mouth and responded.

The human heart is full of flesh. Seeing these poor people who are obviously about to starve to death, who would have the heart to drive them to a dead end?

After arranging the refugees, Liang Feng was dragged by Luzhu to take a medicinal bath.

The previous galloping horse was a good distraction, but there were also a lot of side effects.

Sudden by the wind, this incomparably weak body had no luck at all, and it became hot that night.

Coupled with the excessive force when the horse was frightened, the entire back and thighs were also sore.

The hatchback is superimposed, and a hot bath is obviously a good idea.

Sitting in the steaming hot tub, and sending out the green bamboo like the mother chicken, Liang Feng let out a long sigh of relief and rested his head on the tub.

After lying down comfortably for a while, he suddenly asked, “Yi Yan, how many people are in the camp?”

Yi Yan did not follow the bathroom, but stayed at the door like a competent guard.

Hearing the question, he didn’t turn around, so he replied: “There are thirty-five spearmen, fifteen sword and shield soldiers, ten cavalrymen, and ten archers. There are seventy soldiers in total. There are also auxiliary soldiers. There

are one hundred and twenty soldiers, all of whom have practiced spear formations and have never seen blood.”

There are almost a thousand soldiers in the Liang residence, and only seventy main soldiers have been selected.

These are real professional soldiers. Although the arms are slightly differentiated, their physical conditions and training foundation are very solid, and each of them has seen blood, so they can be regarded as veterans.

And the 120-man auxiliary soldiers are farmers who have been training since the slack of farming.

Liang Feng nodded slightly: “The main soldiers should control the number of soldiers first, and the auxiliary soldiers can be increased. The slack season has arrived, and those young and strong laborers can be trained, so as to prevent the defense of the village from being empty when the main soldiers go out. There are also refugees, choose appropriately Those with good conditions can be used as regular soldiers.”

Anyway, there is no farm work at the moment, and it is all about supporting people, so it is better to choose some with good physical conditions as soldiers.

“I understand,” Yiyan replied.

“Choose some of the auxiliary soldiers, arrange sentries, and inspect the farms. Now that there are many refugees, we must pay attention to discipline and prevent troubles.” Liang Feng said again.

“My subordinates understand.”

“The drills about fire fighting should also be organized, and they should be given a good knowledge of fire prevention. In case of danger, the battalion must take the lead.”

“Subordinates understand.” There

are three consecutive “Subordinates understand .

”, which made Liang Feng frown slightly.

Half-sitting up from the bathtub, he leaned on the edge of the basin and looked at the tall young man at the door. After a while, he said, “Why, are you still mad at me?”

For the past two days, Yi Yan hardly spoke much. , but a shadow seemed to stick beside him.

Whether it’s in charge of the car outside or returning home today, it’s quiet as hell.

Is this mad at him for rashly riding a horse and almost causing trouble?

“My subordinates dare not.” Yi Yan replied, but still did not look back.

Liang Feng couldn’t help but smile bitterly and slowed down his voice: “I was reckless that day, and I won’t be like this again in the future.”

Frightened and feverish again, Lu Bamboo cried to him and rescued his own Yi Yan with his own hands. It is not incomprehensible to lose a little temper.

However, Liang Feng was good at coaxing little girls, and he was really not very good at coaxing such a big guy.

This time, Yi Yan was silent for a moment before answering: “The subordinates only hate themselves and cannot share their worries for the lord.”

For the past two days, Yiyan had a hard time distinguishing her emotions.

When the innocence and fearlessness receded, he found that he was not able to open his arms and completely protect the person beside him as he originally thought.

On the contrary, he knew too little, he could neither make money nor know poetry and books, let alone guess what the lord was worried about.

He was just like a bird with undried wings, protected by the lord under his wings.

As far as I know, they are all taught by the Lord.

What he has is also given by the Lord.

From the inside to the outside, he actually had already engraved the mark of the lord, but he was ignorant and thought he was protecting this person.

This sudden awareness made him a little at a loss and a little unwilling.

But even so, he still wanted to stay by his side.

Unexpectedly, this is what Yiyan feels awkward. Did his anxiety affect him?

Liang Feng smiled: “A ruler is short, an inch is long. Just like I won’t let Ah Liang manage the accounts, let Zhou Kan do business, and let Jiang Ni lead the army. Everyone must have their own position, you have already You’ve done a great job. Without you, there would not be the current bravery camp.”

The man’s voice was as gentle as before.

Yi Yan closed his eyes slightly: “This subordinate should do better.”

“You will.” Liang Feng said without any hesitation, “You have never let me down.”

His heart jumped again, However, it was not the throbbing throbbing of the past, but the whole body was soaked in warm water, sour and astringent.

At this time, Lvzhu led the servant back: “Langjun, it’s time to add hot soup.”

“I’m coming.” Yi extension took the wooden barrel in the servant’s hand and walked into the room.

The man was unprepared, lying lazily in the wooden basin, with his fair arms resting on the side of the basin, a few strands of black hair slipped out and scattered in the water.

However, Yiyan didn’t raise her head, she just stood by with her head bowed, letting the green bamboo take out the hot water one by one and adjust the water temperature.

The sound of water rushing and the fragrance of medicine lingering in the nose also brought out a reassuring tranquility.

After tossing in the bathtub for almost half an hour, Liang Feng returned to the room.

The charcoal fire was lit long ago, and the green bamboo dried the wet hair on his head, and said softly, “Lang Jun, you are tired from the journey, you should rest earlier.”

Liang Feng didn’t answer, but after thinking for a while, he said, “Bring Rong’er here.” I

didn’t expect to call Xiao Langjun over at this time. It seemed that something happened, Lv Zhu immediately went out and ordered the servants.

After a while, the little guy hurried over.

“Father, you came back from the county town. How are you?” Liang Rong asked as he entered the door.

Liang Feng smiled and said, “I have nothing to do with my father, but there are some things I want to ask you. Come, sit here.”

Liang Rong was a little unclear, but he still sat beside Liang Feng obediently.

After hesitating for a moment, Liang Feng said: “Rong’er, do you want to go to the county town to study?” I

didn’t expect to ask this, Liang Rong was stunned for a moment: “Father wants to send me to the county town?”

Looking at the little guy With a little frightened expression, Liang Feng reached out and touched his face: “I’m asking you, do you want to go?” As

if he had just reacted, Liang Rong immediately grabbed Liang Feng’s sleeve firmly: “I want to talk to you.

“Father is with me!”

“Of course you will be with me. But in another year, you will be old enough to go to school. It’s time to go to school.” This is what Liang Feng has been thinking about in the past few days.

Liang Rong is almost six years old. Children of this age should go to primary school.

No matter what to study, always get in touch with other children and lay the foundation for some reading.

Literacy, arithmetic, Zhaoyu or Zhou Kan can still be dealt with, but what about the classics?

After all, Liang Rong is not him, but a child of this era.

If there is no foundation in the study of the classics at all, I am afraid that it will be a little worrying.

Not to mention, this big house with no peers at all will have an impact on him.

It’s not that Liang Rong is not well behaved, but he is too well behaved.

Would it be better if I went to school?

Don’t be a parent, don’t know the parent’s heart.

Liang Feng now also has some experience. Facing children, some things are really nerve-racking.

Therefore, after the initial surprise and the scripture made it clear, he also began to hesitate whether it would be more beneficial for him to let Liang Rong go to Cui Mansion to study.

After all, Cui You is a great scholar!

Hearing what Liang Feng said, Liang Rong’s expression softened.

The little hand held Liang Feng’s long sleeve for a moment, and he whispered: “Can’t you go to school at home? The county town is too far…”

Seeing the little guy’s timid expression, Liang Feng couldn’t help but smile: “Rong Are you afraid of leaving the house?”

Liang Rong shook his head: “Rong’er is not afraid. But my father is not in good health, so Rong’er has to stay by my father’s side.” These

words pierced into Liang Feng’s heart, and he gently touched him. He touched Liang Rong’s head: “Then try hard to recover for the father, and Rong’er also has to work hard to go to school. Is this okay?”

Biting his lip, Liang Rong whispered: “Okay.”

Looking at Liang Rong’s little boy Looking like this, Liang Feng sighed: “Don’t be afraid of Rong’er, no matter where you are as a father, you will never leave Rong’er.” These

words seemed to finally appease Liang Rong, he nodded, his strength was very light, like a kitten It’s like cubs rubbing against people’s palms.

It seems that things about the Cui Mansion should wait for the time being.

Anyway, there is still one year, let’s see what Liang Rong will think next year when he grows up.

After coaxing the little guy and letting Chao Yu lead him out, Liang Feng lay on the soft bed and closed his eyes.

※

“Ah ah ah… dead! They are all dead!”

There was a hoarse cry from outside the shed, and a scrawny woman fell to the ground crying like a madman.

Behind her, a Xiongnu man stared at the dead horse in the shed, his face ashen.

This is the third horse that his family starved to death. How many horses can one family raise?

The sheep are gone, and the horses are gone.

How will you survive next year?

After staring at it for a while, the man turned his head and strode towards the distant hill.

In winter, the vegetation withered, the mountains were bare, only desolate gray and brown, and the northwest wind howled, scratching the old leather jacket on his body.

However, the man kept his eyes fixed, looking at a house somewhere down the mountain.

A few generations ago, they stopped living in tents and lived in Han people’s houses, but who would have thought that such houses could be so luxurious!

It was the mansion of the thousand knights.

Qianqichang said that the price of food has risen this year, and the rice for sheepskin is not half as much as in previous years.

But the price of food has gone up, so why doesn’t the price of leather go up?

Qianqiang said that this year, there is an order in the big account, which is not allowed to sell furs privately, only to be sold to the account.

But why did the caravans come and go, transporting one truck after another of leather?

The thousand riders also said…the same thing and the same thing, but the lights in his house never went out!

The grass on the mountain was long enough for the horse to eat. His mother-in-law took out the food from her own mouth and fed the horse, but it still died.

Without horses and sheep, how will his family survive next year?

As if he had grown up on the top of the mountain, the man stared at the mansion at the foot of the mountain, his eyes almost bleeding.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice rang in his ear: “Age, go back. Hurry up and kill the horse, you can still have some meat for the winter…”

The man did not answer, but said quietly: “Aaron, you know Hao San Is it?”

The man behind him was startled: “Age, don’t think about it! Hao San and the others were killed!”

A few years ago, there was trouble on Gu Yuan’s side, and a Huns named Hao San suffered from hunger and poverty. , rebellion.

After raising his troops, he surrounded the Qiang people and Lu Shuihu, and there were tens of thousands of troops.

These people broke through Shangdang County, and then transferred to Yongzhou, where there was nothing but wolf smoke.

It took the Jin people four years to finally wipe them all out.

They all know this, they know it well.

However, the man did not stop, and still whispered in a chilling voice: “They died, but before they died, they must have had enough to eat, wore warm clothes, and lived in the kind of house below, Happy. I’m going to die, I’ve never been happy.”

These words were whispering like a ghost.

The person behind him suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The wind whistled past the ears of the two of them, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, but also like a wild laughter.

In the end, the man also laughed: “Aaron, do you want to have a full meal before you die?”

That night, the mansion at the foot of the mountain burned, and the fire lit up the sky.

A Xiongnu man came out of the sea of fire with a bloody machete in one hand and a human head in the other.

“Qianqiqiang is dead! Divided his property!”

After a dead silence, some people screamed, some screamed, and more people rushed into the mansion without fear of the fire.

“Lu Ge, if you killed the thousand cavalry captains, those nobles in the tent will not let us go!”

“I know. We can go east. I heard people say that the high capital city in the east has a trade route. There must be a lot of money and food in the city, let’s go grab it, and then go west! Just like Hao San, eat a full meal and put on warm clothes!”

In his hoarse roar, countless people also roared.

The red light was blazing, illuminating their hideous and excited faces.
