The first thousand three hundred and thirty-three chapters cultivated land for the letter
Although those tribal armed forces have not yet been fully integrated into the Forbidden Army, this will not happen overnight, and the frontline battle is very urgent, and Cochin cannot be left with too much time to prepare. Li Qi does not want to drag this war on for several years. If
It will take several years to conquer the small country of Cochin, so why talk about the dream of becoming a big country? It must be won quickly, so we can't wait any longer, we can only fight and integrate at the same time.
On the same day, Yue Fei ordered 10,000 soldiers to escort the grain and grass ahead.
One day later, Yue Fei led another 20,000 troops to fight.
At the same time, Han Shizhong of Qinzhou also led 30,000 Fuzhou navy troops to march along the south coast toward Jiaozhi.
Originally, Yue Fei planned to leave 5,000 soldiers in Yizhou. After all, the commander-in-chief Li Qi was still here, but Li Qi did not agree. He just left 1,000 soldiers with him. He only brought 60,000 forbidden troops when he went south this time. Although now
Another 20,000 troops were recruited, but the total army was only 80,000.
It sounds like a lot, but for the purpose of destroying a country, it's really not that much. Although Jiaozhi has a small population, if you put it all together, there are 180,000 troops if not 200,000, and 80,000 are
To fight a dozen or two hundred thousand, we are already at a disadvantage. In addition, the time and place are not favorable, so every soldier is very valuable. And all the local armed forces in Yizhou have been transferred to the front line, Guangyuanzhou
Now that it has been recovered, Jiaozhi has no chance of sneak attack on Yizhou, so Yizhou is very safe. Isn't it a waste to leave these 5,000 men here to guard him alone?
Li Qi is a very calculating man. He will not do such a loss-making business.
Regarding the frontline war, Li Qi has given full authority to Yue Fei, and he has begun to deal with the people's livelihood issues in Guangxi. He has already planned to concentrate the millions of people in Guangxi in Yizhou, Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Guizhou.
, the five prefectures of Yizhou, regard these five prefectures as the key cities to be developed first.
First of all, the first step is naturally to "plant trees for faith", no, now it should be "cultivate the land for faith". Without faith, it is not enough to convince the public, Li Qi still understands this truth.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Everything is ready. How will the people react?
On this day, on a piece of land southwest of Yizhou, people were surrounded, pointing to the land and whispering. They seemed to be discussing something.
"Bang bang bang!"
After a burst of gongs and drums, Brother Nanong was seen standing in the middle of the crowd with gongs and drums, shouting in a local dialect: "Fellow fellow villagers, uncles and aunts, please listen carefully next, because this is great news.
"
Having said this, he pointed to the five lychee saplings nearby and said, "Look, everyone, what is this?"
One person said: "This is just an ordinary lychee sapling, there is nothing so strange about it."
Brother Nong kept shaking his head and said: "Brother, if you think so, you are totally wrong. This is extremely tight."
"What's so surprising about that?"
"Listen to me slowly." Brother Nong said in a loud voice: "My master has already said that whoever plants these five lychee saplings here will own the five acres of land. Haha, it's a bit
You mean, isn’t it strange?”
Everyone in the room gasped in unison and couldn't help but look at each other, as if they were asking each other, did I hear it right?
This can no longer be described as strange. Du Ming must have broken his head.
Shocked! But no one came forward.
It seems that none of them have read the Han Dynasty, and they don't know about Shang Yang's "Li Mu Wei Xin". Even if they know it, because the form is very different, they may not think about it in that aspect.
Are these people stupid? Why are they hesitating about such a good thing? Brother Nong originally thought that everyone would rush to the front, but now he saw that the villagers all looked like they were watching a monkey playing tricks, and no one came forward. He couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
I thought, maybe they were all petrified. So he reminded me: "Everyone, everyone, does anyone want these five acres of land?"
Still no one answered?
Countless facts have been told to them. There must be a conspiracy here. There is no free lunch in this world. The people watching are looking at each other, but no one comes forward. This is something very strange.
Du Ming, who was standing under a hay shed in the distance, saw all this and said helplessly: "It seems that they have all been deceived and scared."
Li Qi beside him smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, those chieftains, landlords, including the government, are sucking their blood on weekdays. How could they easily believe this time of bloodletting? They must have thought that this was another new incident of the government.
The conspiracy to exploit them, this crisis of trust is very detrimental to the imperial court taking over this place."
Zhao Jingyan suddenly turned to look at Li Qi and said, "There must be someone arranged by you among the crowd of people watching, right?"
Li Qi shook his head.
"This is not your style!"
Zhao Jingyan said with a hint of surprise that based on her past experience, Li Qi would arrange a lot of people here to do this kind of thing.
Li Qidao: "What we want to show the people now is the court's credibility and sincerity, not false lies. There is no airtight wall in this world. If the people find out that I deliberately tampered with it, it will be self-defeating."
.”
"What you said makes sense, but what if no one dares to try it?"
"The only thing you can do is wait. If you don't get it on the first day, just wait for the next day. I believe there will always be people who dare to try it. After all, five acres of good farmland is not a small sum of money for them."
Unknowingly, it was already noon, and more and more people were watching, but no one dared to step forward. In their hearts, it was obviously a trap, and whoever went there would die!
Brother Nong's voice was hoarse from shouting, and he thought, why are these people so stupid? This land is obviously given to you, but you don't want it. It's a pity that I am working in the Yamen, otherwise I would be the first one to get it.
This kid thinks so, but if he didn't know the truth in advance, he probably wouldn't dare to go near him based on his timid character.
The less people dared to come up, the more onlookers felt that this was a conspiracy, and they were secretly glad that they had resisted the urge.
Just when the atmosphere seemed very dull, a hoarse voice broke the dullness, "Let me give it a try."
This sound is like throwing a pebble into a flat lake, and everyone is looking for the sound.
"Give way, give way."
The first person I saw squeezed in was a wooden stick, and then a man in very shabby clothes walked in. His pants were only half torn, and his sleeves were on one side and not on the other. As for shoes, there were no shoes at all, just a pair of bare feet.
Full of sludge.
This is nothing more than a beggar.
This beggar was in his forties, very thin, hunched over, and had a messy beard, making it difficult for him to eat.
The onlookers looked at the beggar and pointed.
But the beggar didn't care at all. He walked up to Brother Nong and said with a smile: "Little brother, are you - are you telling the truth? As long as you plant these five saplings, this - this land will be
Mine?"
Brother Nong was slightly startled, nodded quickly and said: "Exactly, exactly."
The beggar asked again: "Are there no other conditions?"
"No. As long as you are willing to plant, this land is yours."
"Then can I try it?"
"Yes, anyone can."
"Then let me do it."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Brother Nong was almost bored to death from waiting. Seeing that someone finally dared to come forward and give it a try, he nodded hurriedly, picked up the hoe at his feet, and handed it to the beggar.
The beggar took the hoe. He wiped his beard, suddenly let out an ouch, and flattered Brother Nong: "This little brother, I haven't eaten for two days, and I really don't have the energy to plant trees. Can you give me some first?"
food."
Brother Nong was a little confused when he heard this. Are you here to plant trees or beg for food? But no matter what, he just wants to solve this matter as soon as possible and said: "I still have some coarse grains here. If you don't mind it -
--."
"I don't dislike it at all. I don't dislike it at all."
The beggar's eyes shone when he heard this.
Brother Nong forced a smile, picked up some dry food from the table next to him and handed it over, saying it was whole grains. It was really just whole grains, round and gray, and he didn’t know what it was made of. Anyway, Li Qi
I definitely can't eat this stuff.
But the beggar didn't dislike it at all. He grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, his mouth was full. Suddenly his eyes bulged, and he shook his hands and said vaguely: "Water--water---
.”
Brother Nong looked at him as if he was about to die, so he quickly brought a pot of water. The beggar took the pot and poured it into his mouth.
"Gulu! Hu---!"
The beggar gasped and said, "I almost choked to death."
Having said that, he started eating again immediately. After a while, he had wiped out all the dry food and burped. It was so comfortable!
Brother Nong waited for a while and said, "Have you finished eating?"
"I've finished eating. Thank you, thank you very much."
"No need to thank you." Brother Nong raised the hoe in his hand and said, "Then this---."
"Oh oh oh, I almost forgot, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The beggar quickly took the hoe.
This beggar will definitely come here to eat. He is really lucky, and he will get land as a gift after eating. Brother Nong is so jealous in his heart, why has such good things not happened to him?
"Little brother, where is this kind of thing?"
"casual."
"oh."
The beggar looked around, found a piece of land at random, and started digging. I have to say that this beggar was very skilled in farm work. He must have been a diligent farmer in the past.
The bystanders opened their eyes wide and showed expectant expressions.
After a while, three saplings were planted, and after a while, all five saplings were planted. The beggar wiped his sweat, ran to Brother Nong again, and said with a smile: "Little brother, look.
The trees have been planted, and I’m hungry again. Can you give me some more food?”
How does this guy know that he wants to eat! Brother Nong was just about to applaud him and stir up the atmosphere, but the beggar made him depressed by his words, saying: "This uncle, now the five acres of land are all
It's yours, are you still afraid that you haven't eaten it?"
The beggar blinked and said in horror: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Didn't I make it very clear just now?"
"Didn't you just lie?"
Brother Nong was choked to death by these words and almost cried. I bet you always thought I was lying to you.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, "Of course he didn't lie to you, this land is yours now."
I saw three people walking outside, it was Du Ming, Li Qi and Zhao Jingyan.
