44. Sow melons, sow melons, sow beans, so what do people get
Zhaojiacun seems to be the same Zhaojiacun. Whether you pay attention to him or not, he is there, seemingly neither increasing nor decreasing.
But being unchanged in these troubled times is actually the biggest change, because it means that you have the ability to protect yourself in troubled times. What's more, according to Xia Houlan, there are actually many changes within Zhaojiacun.
Yes, if from a distance you still feel that Zhaojiacun is as simple as it was when Li Shushi first came, then when you walk into the village, you will feel how a place that can preserve itself in troubled times can remain simple and simple.
The open space at the east end of the village that was originally used for training has now become a fairly standard military school ground. The shouts and shouts of death coming from the school ground from time to time tell everyone how lively it is now.
"Although there are basically no blind people who dare to invade the boundaries of Zhending, we can't take it lightly. I heard a while ago that there was a new group of powerful bandits in the mountains of Jingxing County, but I didn't see it.
But what actions they have taken, maybe their scope of activities is within the territory of Bingzhou, but we can't be careful."
As the guide of the group, Xia Houlan was talking to Li Shushi and his group. Looking at the slightly immature but confident face of the young man in front of him, Li Shushi couldn't help but sigh that the young man back then had grown up now.
He is an outstanding talent who can stand alone. Of course, Li Shushi believes that Zhao Yun's growth must still be higher than that of Xia Houlan.
Although the Xiangyong who are being trained all still look so young, they are all very hardworking and serious.
"These are people from Linxiang who come to us for training. Now every village in Zhending County has formed a joint defense system. If a village is in trouble, everyone will support it. We will send people to other villages to train their village warriors.
, and they will also send people to us to receive our training. The villagers who only needed to be serious under the instructor have now become small bosses who command more than a dozen people. We villagers in Zhaojia Village now see that people in other villages are
Feeling very proud.”
Yes, as Xia Houlan said, the villagers of Zhaojiacun are no longer as closed-minded as they were when Li Shushi first came, and some run-down knights dare to step on them. Now they are confident.
Smiles filled their faces. Although there were no fundamental changes in their lives, for ordinary people, this unprecedented respect from others was enough to make these people feel a lot of pride.
"Moreover, we also led the Xiangyong selected from the whole county to participate in the anti-bandit battle presided over by General Huangfu. Many of them were praised by General Huangfu for their performance. When General Huangfu left, he also hoped that we could follow him.
As for the northwest."
Xia Houlan's words were full of pride. Indeed, it is something to be proud of being praised by a man like Huangfu Song who is worthy of being called a famous general of the Han Dynasty in terms of style and actual achievements. However, the discord with the eunuchs has affected
Although it affected his official career, it also greatly improved his reputation among the people. Especially
It was the people of Jizhou. It was because of Huangfu Song's arguments that Han Emperor Liu Hong finally decided to use one year's land rent in Jizhou to help the hungry people in Jizhou. The people also wrote a popular Chu song in the Han Dynasty to praise him.
His achievements: "The world is in chaos, the market has become a ruin, the mother cannot protect her son, the wife has lost her husband, and the emperor has returned to live in peace."
"Then why are you still staying in Zhending County? Wouldn't it be nice to follow General Huangfu to the northwest to establish meritorious services in order to gain the title of wife?" Look at the choices of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, these generals who rose to prominence during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
They were eager to express themselves through war, and Li Shushi understood them very well. After all, this was the fundamental way for generals to get ahead.
But what about Xia Houlan? From the establishment of Zhending County's joint defense system, we can see that the young man in front of him is not without ambition. After all, he originally only had the power of a village, but now this power has expanded to
A whole county, which means that he is slowly accumulating bargaining chips in his hands. Otherwise, no matter how good he performs, Huangfu Song will not spread his concern to every soldier. If he wants to get ahead, he will need enough luck.
In fact, his operation has been completely successful. Whether it is his reputation among the counties or his performance in the eyes of the general Huangfu Song, Xiahoulan has shown his ability. Now what he needs is obviously to jump out of this shallow side.
Pond came to a bigger stage to display his talents.
But what is surprising is that he rejected the opportunity that was readily available and chose to stay in Jizhou, which seemed to have calmed down.
Everyone's actions have a cause and effect, and even the most reckless actions are actually well-founded in analysis. What's more, Xia Houlan looks so calm, obviously not the kind of person who will do anything casually.
A provocative and impulsive single-celled organism. So, his motivation for choosing to stay is worth pondering. Li Shushi said that his curiosity has been completely aroused.
"I was very excited at the time. People in other villages were so excited about it that they couldn't sleep for several days. But, how should I put it, what we have achieved today is all thanks to your help, Governor Li.
If it weren’t for the veterans you send here every year to teach us some martial arts and battle formations, and to help resist the first few bandit intrusions, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to achieve what we have today. Besides, isn’t there still that relationship between us?
What is this thing called a 'contract'? You have to keep your words."
Seeing Xia Houlan's relaxed look, Li Shushi knew that the other party had endured considerable temptation. Besides, he still vaguely remembered that the so-called contract between the two parties only stipulated that Zhaojiacun would provide a group of alternative young people for Li Shushi every year. As for
There are no requirements on the quality of young people, and there is no mandatory requirement on the selection rate. That is to say, if you want to break the contract, you can just give Li Shushi the same batch of crooked melons and cracked dates every year. The mocking effect will be absolutely first-rate.
However, the other party obviously did not do this. Not only did all members of the Zhaojiacun garrison, headed by Xia Houlan, stay, but it seemed that the entire Zhending County soldiers also stayed because of their decision. Obviously, although "Huangfu Song's call"
"It's tempting enough, but the other party is still more inclined to Li Shushi's side in the end. I'm afraid it's not just because of Zhao Yun.
Of course, there is another clause in the contract that requires Li Shushi to send an experienced veteran to the village every year as an instructor or something. Li Shushi will never admit that he has completely forgotten about it. Speaking of which, without the careful Su Xiaoluo
If Li secretly told her apprentice Cao Ling about this matter and asked the chief of staff to let him handle it, it is estimated that what will greet Li Shushi now will be pairs of white eyes from Xia Houlan and other people in Zhaojia Village.
Therefore, Li Shushi had to sigh once again, it is really great to have a careful and good housekeeper.
Li Shushi and his party returned to Zhaojia Village. Although many Zhao Yun fans were disappointed that Zhao Yun, a local, failed to come back, when they heard that Zhao Yun had led his men deep into the grassland to perform tasks, the flash in their eyes was completely
"Sure enough, this is our Zilong" and other proud emotions. Obviously, no matter how powerful and popular Dian Wei, Lu Bu and others are, they still can't compete with the native Zhao Yun. Here, he has a feeling of "My own children must
It feels like a "kid".
However, it is obvious that with the arrival of veterans every year, the achievements of Xihe County soldiers are also familiar to the people here. Even the octogenarians are worried about the tense battle. As for the young people, they wish they were on that fierce battlefield.
At the same time, he naturally developed a strong curiosity and identification with the soldiers of Xihe County who had defeated the powerful enemy.
This time Li Shushi came here with his personal guards, which naturally gave these village warriors who had realized that they were qualified soldiers after two years of growth a desire to compete with him. On the one hand, they wanted to see something
See if the hero in your mind really has the corresponding level. On the other hand, I'm afraid you should also show the opponent your achievements in the past two years.
Regarding the other party's request, Li Shushi naturally had no reason not to agree. After all, he had to establish his own "glorious" image so that he could continue to "suppress" these young people who have gradually broadened their horizons and are no longer the Amon of yesterday. Hoho, don't underestimate our combat effectiveness.
!
However, Li Shushi was not allowed to participate in the competition between the two sides. Obviously, the young people in Zhaojiacun were very aware of Li Shushi's ability, which can be called cheating. When they were receiving training, they were often ravaged by Li Shushi's corpse energy.
Hair transplant
The feeling of despair in the heart is absolutely chilling, so that even now, Li Shushi is still known as the "Son of the Devil" among the young people in Zhaojiacun. Well, even if it is not called that, it probably means this. It is very scary.
ah.
Therefore, Li Shushi asked Dian Wei and Xu Chu to lead their own guards to meet the opponent's wheel battle, while he and Su Xiaoluoli entered Zhaojiacun, targeting the Li's grocery store opened in the village and which Li Shushi was quite familiar with.
Only when you enter the village can you really feel the changes here. Different from the ordinary small mountain village in my previous memory, you can already see a lot of differences from before just from the appearance. For example, it is more beautiful than before.
Clean streets, such as clearly renovated houses on both sides of the street, such as wiped streets
The faces and figures of the people passing by were obviously plumper than in memory, etc., which all proved that this village or the entire Zhending County had undergone various gratifying changes during this period due to its own strength.
And obviously these changes have promoted the development of its own strength, forming a virtuous cycle.
Although it is not the main store in Zhuoxian County, the grocery store in Zhaojiacun still follows the style and layout of the main store in Zhuoxian County. Therefore, Li Shushi, who is very familiar with it, can even know where he is going with his eyes closed. After all, he has fought in
A place I've been through.
"When I see this, I always feel like I'm back when I was a little boy. Do you feel like this, Tamago-chan?"
"Well, when I saw this, I thought of a few idiots who always want to get me drunk, but every time they lie down under the table and crawl all over the floor like reptiles. Just thinking about it makes me want to beat them up.
The urge."
Li Shushi, who stood next to Su Xiaololi and stared at her clenched fists with embarrassment, obviously didn't notice that Su Xiaololi's knowing smile at that moment when she said such terrible words was so beautiful and pure.
