Chen Baisong took Ni Wenjun away, pretending to go to Chen Youliang, killing him unexpectedly.

Li Congrong will lead people behind, and will support him when the situation is bad.

Lin Yuan is in Hanyang, handling Hanyang's government affairs, and has to wait for news from Anfeng.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in the city of Hanyang. It has not been a few months since they won Hanyang. If there is no strong army to guard it, no one can say if anyone will be bold.

Lin Yuan let people divide Hanyang's market, just like Gaoyou, and set up various factories so that poor people can find jobs.

As for the big officials and big households in Hanyang, Lin Yuan asked Yang Shaowei to deal with them.

He can now free up his hands and focus on people's livelihood.

The economy of Hanyang is not bad. Although the court is smoggy, the market is still there. The people are not doing well, but after all, it is in the capital of Tianwan, which is not too bad.

But in places other than Hanyang, counties, districts, villages and towns are different. The emperor Tian Gao is far away, and the local officials are the Tu emperors. Even a village leader can dominate.

What You Ming is about to move is the surrounding villages and towns. Changes in the villages and towns will gradually affect the city.

Lijia Village is at the foot of the mountain. People here live by farming and hunting, but the land here is not fat. When the court was in charge of the past, they planted and hunted by themselves, but they couldn’t make a living. After giving birth, there are only one or two who stay with them.

The other children are sold away. If the family can have the money and eat a few full meals, the child will have a chance to live.

Li Er is an ordinary villager in Lijia Village. His family has no land. He was a hunter a few generations ago, but now he is still a hunter, but after generations, the prey on the mountain has gradually decreased. Although he can't die from starvation, life can be better go with.

Now they have changed people again. I heard that it is the Southern King. They have never been out of this small mountain village in their entire life. Naturally, they don't know who the Southern King is and what deeds they have.

The days seem to have not changed.

It doesn't matter whether the person on top of the head is changed or not.

"Li Er, there is someone from above." The villager ran to his door breathlessly, "Let us all pass by. No one is missing. You should also go to your house quickly. Don't make people wait in a hurry."

When Li Er hurried away, he took all the family members with him, his parents, daughter-in-law, and three children.

No one knows what happened or what they did in the past.

His daughter-in-law walked behind him and asked cautiously: "What will happen to the head of the house?"

Li Er didn't know, but he calmly said, "There should be nothing wrong. Don't be afraid. If there is anything wrong, I will protect you."

The daughter-in-law stopped talking.

But they knew in their hearts that if something really happened, they couldn't run away, but they didn't dare not go, so they walked to the village head in fear.

They saw a group of soldiers from a distance, about a dozen, each holding a weapon, looking very vicious, like bandits, many of them had scars on their faces, and they were extremely hideous.

The wife took hold of his clothes, her whole body was shaking.

Li Er gritted his teeth, and continued walking with the family.

The ordinary people are simple, and most of the time they can only accept passively instead of making their own choices.

There are not many mature men in Lijia Village. Most of them have been conscripted. There is only one mature male in the family. There are more women than men, old, weak, and sick. They just want to run, and they can’t run with their children , Can only pass honestly.

Li Er walked into the crowd, and the family was close together, seeming to want to draw strength from each other.

"Everyone is here." The village said to the leading soldier. He bent over, lowered his head, and forced a flattering smile on his gully face.

The soldier said: "Since everyone has fallen, then I will say it."

"Now, you are all under the control of the Southern Bodhisattva. From now on, you will also be the people of the Southern Bodhisattva."

"We are not here this time for conscription, but if you want to join the army, you can just come to me directly."

No one dared to interrupt when he was speaking as a soldier. The villagers looked up at him, their plain faces were completely blank.

The soldier continued: "The South Bodhisattva said, which villages to do in the future are all required. Your village needs to raise chickens. We will build the sheds. You don’t need to spend money on the chickens. We will Come here and grab the chickens that are trading at the price."

"Each village must have an old chicken-raising hand." The soldier winked, and a middle-aged man who looked like a farmer waved to them and smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, that's it, you guys go on your own." The soldier said, "Ask me if you don't understand."

When the crowd dispersed, Li Ercai took his family home again, and the whole family sat around the table.

The daughter-in-law couldn't help asking: "Raise chickens? How many chickens?"

"Can you eat chicken?" When the child is young, he thinks of meat when he hears chicken. "Are there eggs to eat?"

The daughter-in-law also asked: "Are we just raising chickens for the elders above?"

Li Er was sitting by the side, keeping his hands in the process of weaving rattan baskets. He raised his head after hearing the words, with a confused expression: "The soldier said just now that they will build the shed and the chickens don’t need money. Only catch the chickens that have been paid."

The daughter-in-law asked carefully: "Is that...the chicken is raised, how many can we divide?"

Li Er is not sure: "...probably?"

Soon, the soldiers began to build sheds. They had strength and quick movements. The wood used to build the sheds was all cut by themselves on the mountain, faster than the carpenters did. The village was watching by the side and found these pawns. The soldier didn't have a big temper, so he plucked up the courage and asked, "Master soldier, what are you doing?

The soldier replied: "Finish all these pieces of wood according to the drawings, then the assembly will be completed, which is much more convenient."

Cunzheng would also do carpentry work, watching and watching, and he started to do it together. Although he couldn't read the words, the pictures could still be understood. The more he looked at it, the more he was reluctant to put down the paper.

But I dare not ask if I can take this drawing back.

The folks didn’t dare to come close at first, but only dared to watch from a distance. Later, they found that the soldiers were busy every day and didn’t have the time to take care of them. The shed was built quickly and big, and they had finished their work. They will go over and look at it, and they seem to have a strange sense of participation when they see the chicken shed from scratch.

After all, the shed is simple, unlike a modern chicken farm.

The chicken raiser who was brought to this village said to the villagers: "You have to be careful when raising chickens. How good you raise chickens. There are eggs and meat. I have raised chickens for more than ten years. This chicken is just like people. If you treat it well, it will treat you well."

When the greenhouse was built and the chickens were delivered, the villagers suddenly realized that the soldiers were leaving.

However, the soldiers warned them before leaving: "We will come every month. If you don't raise them well, we will take the chickens back."

"Also, if anything happens to Master Zhao, I will also ask you to settle the account."

Master Zhao is a professional who was sent to the villagers to raise chickens in greenhouses. He raised chickens very well in Gaoyou before.

This time he was sent to provide technical assistance. If he returns to Gaoyou later, his professional title can be evaluated, he can be assigned a larger house, and his monthly salary will be adjusted upwards. Otherwise, he won’t be from Gaoyou. Came to this poor and backward place.

Li Er is an active person. Seeing that he can't find any prey, he always comes to Master Zhao.

He doesn't dislike that raising chickens and ducks is a woman's job, and the most important thing is to find a freshman as soon as possible.

And Master Zhao relies on this to feed, so he naturally has to ask more.

"A few years earlier, when the South Bodhisattva was still in trouble, Gaoyou was not like it is now." Master Zhao ate dried meat and gave Li Er a piece. Now Li Er talks to him every day. He has to be nice to others. "At that time, I lived on two acres of land and had to pay taxes, but I was not the worst. The worst was the salt man, who could only transport salt, and the people above would have no food. Eat more, not necessarily take more."

"I raised chickens at that time. I raised delicious meat. If I could lay an egg a day, it would be a good day." Master Zhao said with a smile, "Chickens are not easy to raise. I bought a big one at the beginning. , The big one is easy to raise, and the latter is easy to raise, I just started raising chicks."

When Master Zhao talked about the past, his eyes drifted a little: "Later, the little official who took care of our area, saw that my chickens were well raised, so I asked me to keep them well, but he was given one chicken and seven eggs every seven days."

Master Zhao: "I didn't want to raise chickens anymore, but he still wanted to come to me to get them..."

Li Er did not speak.

Master Zhao: "I can only spend money to buy it. I didn't have a lot of money. The day became more and more sad, and my mother-in-law ran away.

"I don't know where she went now, or if she is still alive."

Master Zhao wiped his face: "Fortunately, I still have a daughter. I can survive with her."

"After the South Bodhisattva came, he started to build a factory to raise chickens, ducks and pigs." Master Zhao's face had a smile on his face, "So many chickens! I feed them all! I can't count the eggs every day. !"

Master Zhao asked Li Er: "When was the last time you ate chicken?"

Li Er was stunned. Last time he hit a pheasant on the mountain. That was all last year: "Last year."

Master Zhao whispered: "When I was in Gaoyou, I could eat two eggs every day and I had meat every meal, because I did a good job. In addition to monthly money, I can bring a chicken back. The rooster is still an old hen. It’s up to me to choose, I like to choose the cock, my daughter likes to eat."

Li Er listened, with a mouthful of saliva in his mouth, he wanted to eat meat.

After there were fewer prey on the mountain, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

He would rather give the villagers more food than eat.

Master Zhao patted Li Er on the shoulder: "You are lucky! With Nan Bodhisattva here, you can live a good life."

Li Er looked at Master Zhao blankly. He didn't know if the Nan Bodhisattva was a Bodhisattva, but as long as they could not be hungry, he would be a true Bodhisattva.
