Chapter 138 An expert knows the way
Spring is always exciting.
The yellow and rotten branches and leaves have now basically turned into spring mud, and the green hope breaks out of the soil, densely covering the cultivated fields.
Walking among the intertwined fields and looking at the barefoot people digging trenches in the fields with hoes, even Wei Yi, who had no feelings for people outside the customs, felt a little inspired.
Although everyone in the newly established Anxi Protectorate was polite to Wei Yi, not many people really cared about Wei Yi. Xiao Changche only showed up once on the day he welcomed Wei Yi. There was also a demon mask on his face, which made Wei Yi's desire to get a glimpse of his true face never been realized.
Then Xiao Changche never appeared in front of Wei Yi again.
As for Li Dachui, we see each other every day. He smiles and looks very kind, but for a person like Wei Yi, he can still clearly feel the alienation in his bones. It's just polite to come and say hello to yourself every day.
If the two superior officers are like this, then there is no need to talk about the people below them.
Only Zhang Ruo still accompanies Wei Yi.
For Zhang Ruo, making friends with Wei Yi is equivalent to making friends with Wei Zhengdao. It is necessary whether it is for private or public purposes.
It would be best if we could gain more benefits for the Anxi Protectorate.
Outside the pass, Linghuye is still the strongest.
The reason why Linghuye is unwilling to start a battle with Xiao Changche is because he does not want to lose his own strength. In the long-term battle in the future, the Anton Protectorate’s encirclement and suppression of Anxi will It will inevitably be launched from all aspects in an attempt to weaken Xiao Changche's power. This is something that can be understood with your buttocks.
In the past two days, Wei Yi walked around the city and around several times. Today, he simply came to the countryside.
And there was one more person accompanying Wei Yi, Linghu Zhishu from the Andong Protectorate.
Speaking of which, the decree to reprimand Linghuye, the decree to confer Linghuye the titles of Shangzhuguo and Zhengguogong, and the downgrade of the Beiting Protectorate to the Andong Protectorate were all still in Wei Yi's arms.
This was already the case with Xiao Changche anyway, so Wei Yi simply handed the imperial edict for Linghuye to Linghu Zhishu.
Outside the customs, the rules have broken down. People did not throw the imperial edict in front of their faces or tear it into pieces, which is a great honor.
Linghu Zhishu was also a character. After receiving the imperial edict, he calmly ordered a team of his men to return to Zhenwu City immediately, but he still accompanied Wei Yi with enthusiasm.
This made Wei Yi think highly of him.
This is a role!
Walking on the ridge of the fields, I watched the two farmers pile some soil on top of the firewood and withered grass, then spread the firewood and then the soil, and finally poured several large buckets of rice fields on top of it. Above, the stench immediately overflowed, causing everyone on the ridge to cover their noses.
As the farmer lit the torch and ignited the big mound, the special smell spread along with the smoke to the four surrounding areas. A group of people on the field ridge suddenly fled in confusion.
In the distance, the laughter of farmers came.
"What is this for?" Wei Yi was a little confused.
"This is burning fire fertilizer!" Zhishu Linghu knew better, "Although it is a bit dirty, it is necessary for farming!"
Everyone looked around and saw white smoke floating everywhere. Gone with the wind, it looks like they are all burning fire and fertilizer.
Not wanting to smell the special smell, everyone walked along the field ridge, picking up the area where there was no white smoke.
The big field in front is obviously different from the surrounding fields. The other fields have been ridged and seedlings and compost have begun. However, this piece of land of about three or four acres has not yet been cultivated.
At this time, a young man was holding a plow, waving a whip and driving a big buffalo to plow the field. Behind him, a woman was sowing seeds. Behind the woman, another man was dancing with a rake. , pounding the dirt into powder, and there were a few strong men digging in the corners and nooks of the ground, making the places that could not be plowed clear and refreshing.
At first glance, they don’t look like a family.
It is impossible for a family to have only one woman and so many strong men.
Wei Yi stopped and looked at everyone.
On the field ridge, there are two children and a black dog.
When the dog saw Wei Yi and his group approaching, he immediately walked up to the two children, bared his teeth and whimpered softly, but his tail was clamped tightly, obviously a little scared, but he did not run away.
When the man plowing the field saw this group of people, he came over and bowed to everyone with folded hands: "Dear gentlemen, Ding Ergou is the head of our village. What do you want me to do?" The man in front of me said. He has a young face, he looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old at most. He seems a little restrained in front of everyone, but he still maintains an orderly manner, and his movements are full of military atmosphere.
Wei Yi's heart moved slightly and asked with a smile: "Are you a soldier?"
Ding Ergou nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
< br>“Have you lived in this village before?”
"That's not true. I used to live in Helan, and we came here to live after we conquered Aquarius State." He turned back and pointed at the few men who were still standing in the field, looking over here with hoes and rakes, and said: “There are two of them who came down from Helanyuan with me.”
“This field doesn’t belong to you?”
“Of course not, my field has been planted long ago. "Ding Ergou said with a smile: "This belongs to her family. Her man turned out to be a soldier of the Yan family. He was seriously injured in the battle with us and lost one of his legs. He is still lying down recovering from his injuries. If the man can’t do the work, won’t the field be abandoned? We’ll help plant the land for her family. Otherwise, her family won’t have any income in the fall, and won’t they be starving?”
These words made Wei Yi and Linghu Zhishu fall silent. After a long while, Linghu Zhishu said: "Aren't their families your enemies?"
"What kind of enemies are not enemies?" Ding Ergou kept saying. Waving his hand: "His man is just a soldier. After the war, since he is not dead and returns to the village, he will become a common man like us. From now on, we will be neighbors, and we will naturally help each other. Besides, If his family is too poor to eat, wouldn't it drag down the whole village? We have a large army of soldiers in the village. All the weapons, food, armor, livestock, etc. have to be prepared by the whole village. When the time comes, his family won't be able to get it. It’s not good to have too much, so the whole village must be good.”
"You are willing to sacrifice your lives and prepare these things yourself?" Linghu Zhishu couldn't help but ask.
Ding Ergou looked at each other with flickering eyes, and after a while he said: "Is this noble man from outside? How can you live a good life without fighting?"
Everyone gathered together. Speechless.
Only by fighting can you live a good life. What is the truth?
"Let's go!" Zhang Ruodao: "Li Dachui, Xiao Changche and the others have always done this. So their subordinates are looking forward to fighting."
The group of people walked forward in silence, each thinking about their own concerns.
Linghu Zhishu felt faintly fearful in his heart.
They have only taken over Aquarius State for a few days, but have they already mastered Aquarius State to this extent? Even though Ding Ergou just said something very ordinary, in the ears of someone who is interested, what they hear is a completely different story.
I thought that the Yan family had ruled Aquarius State for hundreds of years and had some incestuous feelings. If Xiao Changche and Li Dachui wanted to fully grasp and digest it, they might not be able to do it within a few years, but now it seems , people hold it in their hands.
This is really true. Once people leave, the tea gets cold.
Yan's corpse was still cold, how many days had it been since his head was taken off the city wall? The people of Aquarius State can no longer remember them.
Li Dachui stretched himself for a long time. In the past few days, he has been busy moving the bulk material trading market in Tai'an City to Aquarius City. With the convenient water roads here, bulk material trading The volume will hopefully reach a new high, thus firmly controlling the pricing power of bulk materials outside the customs.
Linghuye wants to have a long-term contest with him, hey, just wait, it would be weird if I don’t play you to death.
Just wait for me to harvest your fat leeks one after another.
"Wei Yi is gone?"
"Let's go. Bachelor Zhang, Lieutenant Ma, and Secretary Linghu are leaving with us!" Mao Daxian said: "After that Wei Yi looked at our place thoroughly, he went to Linghu Ye's place to find out the situation. La!"
"It's just a matter of fact." Li Dachui said disdainfully: "Actually, he doesn't care about us. What he cares about is whether we can hold Ling Huye back."
" I have been in contact with this person for a few days, and he still has some talent, but his butt determines his head, and his thoughts are still limited after all!" Mao Daxian said.
"Ignore him! Now that we have the title we want most, what we have to do next is to compete with Linghuye outside the pass. Old Man Fu is coming soon, right? When he arrives, I will accompany him to Yandu. By the way, Qian Jia, didn’t you say that the Yuan army over Qingtongxia is about to make a move? I’m afraid that the new commander of the Yuan army over there has already decided. Next, there may be a battle first. . You have to prepare for war here.”
“Sir, it will take time for the news from Yandu to come back, but the Qingtongxia army is indeed being organized, and the person in charge of the army is not Tie. Lenge, the top general under Tie Le, is Sullivan, who used to be in charge of logistics. It seems that Tie Le has returned to Yandu and has stepped aside. "
"We have to step aside, otherwise how can we talk to him? Sullivan is from Acton, right? It seems that the third child still wants to give it a try?"
"A hard blow on the head, If you keep it, he will shrink back!" Mao Daxian said with a strange smile: "This person has a lot of business dealings with us. Let him shrink back after a defeat, and then we can continue to do business."
"Information. Has it been given to Xiao Changche?”
“As soon as the information is received, I will report it to you at the same time as you requested,” Qian Jia said.
"Spring has begun. If Sullivan doesn't farm well and wants to fight at this time, don't blame us for being rude. This year, there will be no harvest in Qingtongxia!"
