For a person with a dirty heart, everything he sees is dirty!
Looking sideways at Liu Hongji, who had an expression of "Don't worry, I understand." Xiao Han sighed and could only comfort himself silently with these words.
As the team moved forward, with Feng An around, naturally no thieves would jump out to cause trouble for him, even though during this period, there was widespread news that a group of bandits were robbing the area.
"Ahem, are those bandits talking about us?"
Once, while the team was taking a break, they heard a village chief who had brought water describe the appearance of the thieves to them vividly. The more Xiao Han listened, the more familiar he felt.
One face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and the other one is as bald as a braised egg?
Doesn’t this mean Ren Qing and Liu Hongji? Not to mention, the description is very appropriate!
He's the villain with a smile on his face and stabs him in the back. Could he be talking about himself?
Thinking of this, Xiao Han looked himself up and down suspiciously.
Hmm... It's impossible for me to be so sunny and handsome. It's absolutely impossible!
"Hey, old man, how do you know so clearly? Have you ever seen them?"
Among the people sitting on the ground in a small circle, someone finally curiously asked the clan leader this sentence.
"Me?" The clan leader was also a talkative person. He laughed and waved his hand: "I usually stay in the village. How could I have seen them? In the past two days, two or three people have already gone there.
They came to our village to beg for food, and I heard what they said!
Oh, what a pity! You are such a poor man, you only have half your life left after being tortured. When you see the meal, your eyes are all green. In one breath, I almost became poor even if I didn’t eat!"
"Hahaha..." Hearing what the patriarch said was interesting, several Feng family members burst into laughter. The person who just asked the question also joked: "Aren't you going to lose money now? You just feed me! Don't wait."
In the days to come, I won’t have anything to eat!”
"Haha, that can't be done, that can't be done!"
Hearing this, the patriarch grinned honestly: "In the past two years, God has given us food to eat. Whether it is the wild animals in the mountains or the crops in the fields, they have grown well. I will not be hungry. I will not be hungry!"
Seeing the honest and honest look of the clan leader, everyone suddenly burst into laughter. Only Xiao Han smiled, but his face wrinkled.
Didn’t you say that the Feng family’s tax collection here is very low? How come even the head of the clan is hungry?”
I secretly discussed this question with someone who had been having fun the past two days.
I didn't expect that guy to look at Xiao Han like a fool. Looking at that look, if he hadn't known Xiao Han's true identity, he would have left with a sigh of relief.
"My Lord Marquis, look at the many mountains and forests here, and there is no place suitable for farming! In addition, those villages were mostly natives and Miao people who were not good at farming, or
There are many people who have never farmed before. In recent years, as there have been more Han people, we have gradually taught them how to farm!
However, although we have taught you, but when you see how they farm, you will know that the harvest depends on God!
If there is a drought, do not water and wait for rain; if there is a flood, do not drain and wait for the sun to dry out.
The grass in the field has grown taller than the grain, and I don’t know how to pull it out! In addition, there are wild beasts in the mountains that come down from time to time to make a mess, and the birds in the sky come to steal a piece. This way, when it’s time to harvest,
It’s like planting a gourd and reaping two gourds!”
"Then it's like this, and they don't know how to change it?" After hearing this person's explanation, Xiao Han nodded in realization and continued to ask.
"Change? How to change?" The man smiled bitterly and pointed at the mountains around him: "It's not that our family master has never taught them or urged them, but these people... ugh!"
Perhaps thinking of the behavior of these people before, the Feng family members sighed bitterly, shook their heads and continued: "No matter what you say, they always listen to it at the time, and then they will still go their own way! As long as they are not hungry today, then
There is no problem. As for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, that is what you should worry about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!
Moreover, these people are very generous. A guest comes from outside. No matter who he is, as long as he enters the village, he will be treated as a distinguished guest! He is responsible for food and housing, and is extremely generous! In addition, these people
Every now and then, there will be a festival, where the whole tribe will be invited to sing, dance, and have a big meal."
"Then what should I do when the food is finished?" Xiao Han was surprised to hear this and couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Have you finished eating?" The Feng family member said with a strange expression: "After eating, let's think of our own ideas. If we can, we can pick fruits. If we can, we can hunt. If we really can't do anything, then we can just wait to starve to death."
"Waiting to starve to death?" Xiao Han was speechless. He really couldn't understand what these people were thinking. They didn't even have anything to eat, so why were they fussing about it? Anyway, in Sanyuan County, who can survive for two years without saving enough?
With so much food, I feel guilty even when I go out!
"Perhaps it's because it was too easy to obtain food here before?" Thinking of this, Xiao Han sighed softly.
He knows that the richer the material, the less motivated people will be. For example, in Africa, as long as I can survive easily, only ghosts risk their lives to work!
Therefore, since ancient times, it has generally been a bitter and cold land, and a wealthy land has been conquered.
After all, one side is a desperado with red eyes who will die if he doesn't fight! The other side is a lazy man who can pick sweet wild fruits with just a lick of his fingers. Any fool knows who will win the final victory.
As for the trees that grow taller, or if the weather is bad and no fruit grows, most of the lazy people will starve to death under the trees because they have lost the ability to beg for food elsewhere.
Xiao Han couldn't say these words, and even if he said them, no one would listen.
It is said that ostriches are best at burying themselves under the sand. In fact, humans are the animals in the world that are most likely to paralyze themselves.
As long as they don't starve to death, as long as the steel knife is not placed on their necks, they will definitely be drunk today and worry tomorrow. Maybe they will wake up when there is only one breath left, but at this time
, everything is too late!
"If most of Lingnan is like this, then the Feng family must leave here quickly!" After muttering silently, Xiao Han remembered that he met an old man who loved to play chess in later generations. At that time, the old man once said to him: This man,
Just like playing chess, someone must chase, press, and play in order to make progress.
At first, Xiao Han didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but now he figured it out.
Come to think of it, the Feng family had already seen the characteristics of this land, so they never thought of rebellion.
After all, leading these people to rebel is a proper way to beat a dog with a meat bun and never come back.
