There is a marquis below the Daling Mountains, which was already deserted. After the Lei clan settled in Lexiang, he restored it as a stronghold for dependent people to settle down. Those farmers must have come from the marquis.

Lei Yuan had inspected the encirclement, and all he saw were thorns, weeds and broken walls. There were no residents at all, only some terrible corpses. Because time went by, Lei Yuan didn't know how they died, maybe it was done by the bandits, or maybe it was the feat of the officials from the prefectures and counties, who knew?

Because there were many exposed bodies and it was unpleasant, when I was looking for a place for my disciples, I originally planned to completely abandon the place and only demolish the bricks, tiles and wood. However, after on-site survey, I found that the terrain of this marble was really good. Many of the surrounding flat land had been reclaimed, and it was easy to restore agricultural production, and there were mountain streams for irrigation. The marble itself was on a hill, safe and without flooding. Therefore, after thinking about it over and over again, I finally used this place.

According to the registration of the article, there are now more than 400 people in this place, and Song Shui, the manager sent by Zhou Hu, is directly responsible.

Song Shui was a scholar in Lexiang. His family was previously surrounded by defeated soldiers. After Lei Yuan cleared Lexiang County, he made great contributions to appease the people, so he was appreciated. In just over a month, he went from captive to Shuzu, and from Shuzu to manager.

Lei Yuan heard that this person was very concerned about doing things and completed the development of the fields early. Now the spring plowing is almost over. Therefore, the people in the surrounding area have the extra spirit to go up the mountain and do some bits and pieces.

However, the ding-dong dong sound was too noisy, and Lei Yuan wanted to instruct them to go far away to deal with the wood so that he would not disturb his sleep.

When he approached the farmers, everyone hurriedly knelt respectfully and bowed respectfully. Most of them knew who Lei Yuan was, and they also knew that because Lei Yuan built a house for the old sect leader here, there were often big people coming and going in the surrounding area recently, and the villagers prepared food and accommodation for them, and they received a lot of rewards.

Lei Yuan quickly said kindly: "Please get up quickly, please help me."

The farmers each stood up. Lei Yuan suddenly felt familiar when he saw the old man in the lead and couldn't help but take a look.

The old man nodded happily and waved his hand, "Little Langjun? It's me!"

Lei Yuan looked at him. The old man was about fifty or sixty years old, with a hunched body, and his rough skin was tangled on his face, forming wrinkles like deep valleys. The old farmers in this era were like this. At first glance, they were poured out of the same mold. However, the two fingers on the right hand that was waving in front of him were quite impressive. Look at him with a slight look, a limping foot... it seems that he had really seen it.

"Brother-in-law, are you?" Lei Yuan vaguely remembered, but he was still not sure.

"Little Langjun, I am Qi Wu!" The old man walked forward a few steps, as if he wanted to get close, but he shrank and did not dare to move: "I am Qi Wu from Dahuai!"

Lei Yuan laughed, stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed Qi Wu's arm: "Long time no see, Mr. Qi! Are you okay?"

A few months ago, Lei Yuan was assigned by his father to go to various places to urge the people to escape and take refuge. Among them, the one closest to the edge of the area controlled by the Haoyoumen in Huainan was Dahuaili, which was downstream of the water. At that time, Lei Yuan entrusted the evacuation affairs to Qi Wu, who was quite prestigious in Dahuaili, and rushed to other villages by himself. However, a few days later, Cao's army came and burned Dahuaili.

From then on, Lei Yuan never saw Qi Wu again. When he thought of it occasionally, he thought that he died in a massacre like countless ordinary people in this troubled era. Unexpectedly, he was still alive?

Qi Wu also chuckled: "Okay! OK! Thanks to Xiaolangjun! Without Xiaolangjun, we would have died long ago!"

As he said that, Qi Wu wanted to kneel down and kowtow again, Lei Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. When he held Qi Wu's arm, he obviously felt that the old man was a little stronger than before, and he could hold some flesh on his arms, and then look at the clothes on his body were also very neat. This proved that he was doing well in Lexiang, which made Lei Yuan a little happy.

Lei Yuan took him to the house to sit down and asked about his recent situation. After chatting for a few words, he realized that Qi Wu had become a good assistant to the manager of Song Shui here by virtue of his skills in farming. The two teenagers he adopted in Dahuai were one died of illness in the mountains, and the other was recommended to Lexiang County a few days ago to serve as a minor official in the market management.

Because both father and son both have identities, they got a large area of ​​mature land when dividing the land. Not long ago, a few barbarian slaves were assigned to the clan, and Qi Wu adopted a few children again. Now this family is a well-known local family. There are even proposals to Qi Wu in the wing, hoping that he will marry a newbie.

Fortunately, Qi Wu's mind was not dazed yet, and he knew that his family was in a weak state, so he had long... Cough cough, in short, marrying a new string would be useless. Maybe he would have to be cheaper for others in the future. So he simply didn't want these little things, and he thoughtfully led the farmers around him to take care of the fields. Sometimes he also took the young and strong people in the village and the servants to go a little further, and took some labor such as digging trenches and raising up the base.

Today, A Du asked the manager for Qi Wu to bring people here. On the one hand, he cultivated soil for the newly-launched tomb, and on the other hand, he also repaired Lei Yuan's wooden house to prevent Lei Yuan from being too difficult.

Although Qi Wu had some knowledge, he was too low-class and had a vulgar speech. He said whatever he thought of. Sometimes he would stop talking and suddenly ran out of the house to remind other farmers. But when Lei Yuan listened to the old man's nagging, he could feel the joy of the people at the bottom from this nagging, as if he had let go of the depression in his heart.

During these days, Lei Yuan occasionally doubted himself. He thought that he had accomplished nothing for most of his time in the mountains and was only concerned with familiarizing himself with the accent customs of this world. Later, he ran for several months and only recruited more than twenty entourages, which was not considered a decent team. After that, he participated in the military, which was not beneficial to the fundamental situation of the Lei family in Lujiang. He led his army to retreat in a mess and even lost his life to his elder brother. Even if he arrived in Jingzhou... his father's tomb was behind him, and he was angry for half a day, what could he do? He was finally pressed back and did nothing.

He was depressed by these experiences, and then dissatisfied with himself. He repeatedly asked himself: Is it because my ability is poor? If it were those heroes who could do better? The answer is usually yes.

Lei Yuan was just an ordinary person in his previous life. In this life, he had more judgments on the direction of history and was still an ordinary person. He had no talent to express himself, no invincible courage, and no ability to deal with the most famous figures in history to make profits. All he could do was to do was to do his best to make the people around him and let the people who followed him live better. There might be difficulties in the process, and he would even fail in the end, so he could do nothing. He could only regard it as the norm in life, slowly adjust his emotions, and set off again.

Fortunately, Lei Yuan's efforts have achieved some results. At least more than 20,000 people in the Lei family in Lujiang have relied on the people and have truly achieved a better life. The father-in-law in front of him is one of the beneficiaries.

"Speaking of this, I recently transplanted a few orange trees from the mountains to see if they can bear fruit... I ate oranges in my early years, and they were rewarded by noble people. They tasted sweet and sour and fragrant. They are really good things. Have you ever eaten them?... But that should be oranges from Shu, wild oranges from Jingzhou, I don't know how they taste..."
