"Next, the county soldiers will attack the village."

"Haha, nonsense, they are imperial court officers, you are a son of the clan, and I am a dignitary, how dare they rush in casually? If they dare to rush in, I will..."

Before Ma Chuan'an finished speaking, the sound of horns sounded outside. Ma Chuan'an was very familiar with this sound. When the former Tang Dynasty was overthrown, he heard it a lot. It was the horn of the Qin army's attack.

"He, they really dare to call in directly?"

"If you don't enter the village, they don't dare to kill you in front of many county soldiers, leaving you alive, and they don't dare to attack the village rashly, but you just came in."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Ma Chuan'an couldn't help but blushed, and made a fuss for a long time, and the trouble was all caused by himself.

Ma Minjun didn't want to embarrass his father too much, and said with a wry smile: "Stop talking about this, let's talk about what to do now."

"The only way is for me to go out."

"you alone?"

"I don't think I can do it alone, so you go with me?"

Hearing Li Wei's words, Ma Chuan'an subconsciously took two steps back. The county soldiers outside looked like they were going to wash Li's village with blood, so he didn't have the guts to go out.

Qiu Ji'en, who was born as a civil servant, had never even read military books, not to mention fighting, and thought that when the horn was blown, the soldiers would charge forward.

But only now did he realize how big a mistake he had made. After the scouts informed Li Wei that he was in the village, Qiu Jien ordered an attack. However, the county soldiers from the rear team hadn't arrived yet, and the county soldiers from the front team fought for the battle without forming a formation. rush forward.

Before entering the village to fight, they pushed and trampled each other and suffered damage.

When the army was in chaos, the soldiers shouted loudly: "My lord! Someone is coming!"

"Who... why is he here? Don't mess up, damn it, the archers are arrayed!"

No matter what Qiu Jien said, he didn't expect that Li Wei would rush out on his own initiative. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he didn't dare to let someone shoot and kill a clan son directly.

Seeing Li Wei galloping up to him, Qiu Jien asked coldly, "Why did you come out?"

"What do you mean by that, you don't want me to come out alive?"

"I mean, why did the rioters in the village release you?"

"There is no rebellion in Li Family Village!"

"Nonsense! Marquis Wen Yang identified him in public, brothers, did you hear that?"

If Li Family Village hadn't rebelled, the county soldiers would have lost their military merits. For their own future, the county soldiers stood firmly on Qiu Jien's side and echoed loudly.

Now there is no time to waste, Qiu Jien shouted loudly: "I understand, the rioters must have captured the father and daughter of Marquis Wenyang and used them as a threat to force you to say this, brothers, Marquis Wenyang You have been arrested, hurry up and rescue Lord Hou! The whole village of Lijiacun rebelled! The heads of the rebellious people are all military achievements, regardless of the old and weak, women and children, they are all rebels! Kill the enemy!"

Seeing that the military exploits were about to be obtained, the county soldiers rushed towards Lijia Village.

As the Son of Heaven, he wanted to watch his army slaughter his own people. Li Wei couldn't let this happen anyway, so he drew his sword directly.

"I am the clan! Just stand here and see who of you dares to rush over!"

It is good to kill the rebels, but if you want to kill the clan, they will become rebels. Facing Li Wei who is blocking the entrance of the village, the county soldiers obediently stopped.

Qiu Jien didn't expect that hundreds of his subordinates would be stopped by one person. He took a deep breath and said with a smile, "My lord, you don't have to be nervous. We will rush in and we will surely rescue the father and daughter of Marquis Wenyang. Please get out of the way first."

"As I said, there is no rebellion in the village."

"Whether there is, we have to go in and see for ourselves to find out."

"With so many of you going in, are you going to investigate the situation, or to massacre the village?"

Li Wei asked with a sneer.

"I only bring ten soldiers, and I will go into the village with you to investigate, how about it?"

"can."

After winking with the soldiers, Qiu Jien led them to Li Wei.

"Do you still remember the humiliation you gave me? You sabotaged the pearl-diving ceremony and people beat me up in the street. These two accounts must be settled today."

"You should know my identity. You will never have the chance to settle these two accounts in your life."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Qiu Jien burst out laughing.

"You really take yourself seriously. In the capital, everyone gives face to the emperor, so naturally we should give some face to your clan, but this is Jinghuai County, which is a local county. I will give you face. Are you Clan son, if I'm unhappy, I won't give you this face."

"What do you want?"

"Hehe, do you think you are the only smart person in the world? Do you think I really want to enter the village with you? Do it!"

The reason why Qiu Jien agreed to Li Wei's request was that he wanted to take the opportunity to get closer. With an order, the soldiers who had already guessed what he meant swarmed up and immediately surrounded them. The two soldiers grabbed Li Wei, one on the left and one on the right With both arms, a dagger directly pressed against Li Wei's back waist.

As soon as Li Wei was under control, Qiu Jien saw Ma Chuanan leading Ma Minjun out of the village, and a bright smile appeared on his face. He was so lucky that the big fish jumped into his net pocket on his own initiative.

As soon as he came over, Ma Chuan'an said: "Qiu Jien, there is no rebellion in the village. I was excited just now and said something wrong. You can't let the county soldiers rush in!"

"You are a majestic Marquis, can you count what you say? Can you make a joke about such a big thing as rebellion? Since you said it, then there is."

"Bastard! How dare you talk to me like that! I'm standing here now, how dare you do something to me? Take your troops back immediately, or I won't let it go!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Chuanan deliberately glanced at Li Wei.

Didn't you underestimate our former Tang Yigui?Did you see it?

If you come, I dare to come too, and I dare to reprimand Qiu Jien face to face.

"Give it up if you're not good at it? Hehe, I'm afraid you won't have this chance, take it!"

Before Ma Chuan'an and Ma Minjun could react, they were restrained by soldiers like wolves with short knives.

"What's going on here? Didn't you say that Qiu Jien wouldn't dare to mess around as long as everyone is watching?"

Faced with Ma Chuan'an's questioning, Li Wei smiled wryly and said, "That's what I said, but take a look, is everyone watching now?"

Those present were all Qiu Jien's personal soldiers, his absolute confidantes, and the sight of the county soldiers was blocked by the personal soldiers, how could there be so many eyes?

Ma Chuan'an didn't even understand this point, so he rushed to the door. Wen Yanghou, who was so capable, finally got his daughter involved this time.

"Have you seen the courage of the local counties and counties now? Let's go into the village together. I want you to see with your own eyes how my soldiers killed the rioters, and that idiot Marquis Wenyang will also die in front of you. .

As for Ma Minjun, tsk tsk, it would be a pity if he died. The biggest advantage of this official is his kind heart, which will let you know what it's like to be a woman before you die. "

"Qiu Ji'en! You are so courageous! You dare to act recklessly like this, aren't you afraid of being punished by the court!"

Ma Chuanan roared angrily.

Chapter 686 Li Wei's Big Plan

"What am I afraid of? You are the three loyal people of our Great Qin. They suppressed the rebellion in Lijia Village and took the lead. In the end, they were killed by the rioters. It can still be."

Looking at Qiu Jien with a rampant face, Ma Chuanan finally realized how outrageous his mistake was, and Ma Minjun closed his eyes in despair.

Just when Qiu Jien ordered the county soldiers to rush into the village, Li Wei suddenly spoke.

"Qiu Jien, do you think I don't know your plan?"

"What did you say? You know?"

Nodding his head, Li Wei smiled and said, "I guessed that you wanted to get close and take me down, but I still cooperated with you. Do you know why?"

"why?"

This time Li Wei didn't answer, he kicked the guards behind him with his right foot, and with all his strength, the two guards he grabbed were directly shaken away.

A soldier tried to stop him with a knife, but Li Wei grabbed the blade and took him aside. Before Qiu Jien could figure out what happened, Li Wei grabbed his throat.

"Because I also need you to get close and make a move."

"You, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and save me!"

As soon as Qiu Jien yelled out, an arrow shot out from the woods. It was Li Renhe who had threatened the villagers with a bow and arrow before.

These rebels had already attacked His Majesty, and the nature was different. He didn't have the previous warning when he attacked, and shot a soldier in the head with an arrow.

The ability of three-star lianzhu was displayed again, and two more soldiers fell to the ground with arrows in their chests.

He was captured by Li Wei, and his personal soldiers were unreliable. As an old man in the officialdom, Qiu Jien naturally knew what to do.

"Lord Li! The officer was joking with you just now, you, you are more angry, the officer is now an officer anyway, killing me, you will be very troublesome."

"Let all the county soldiers back, Ma Chuanan, you go back to the city yourself, and let Tian Baoping bring people over!"

As a Marquis himself, he was treated like a servant by Li Wei, but thinking of his own daughter, he could only swallow his anger and get on the horse.

"If Marquis Wen Yang can't bring someone back within two hours, you don't have to live anymore. Qiu Jien, Marquis Wen Yang won't encounter any danger on the way, right?"

Hearing Li Wei's words, Qiu Jien didn't dare to change his mind, and hurriedly said: "There will be nothing wrong, I can send someone to escort."

"Okay, Ma Chuan'an, you go to rescue the soldiers. As for Qiu Jien, go back to the village with us and wait for the county to send people over."

The county soldiers surrounded the village, and the villagers were full of panic. Seeing that Li Wei had suppressed an official and came back, they all gathered around, chattering and asking.

"Don't talk! All the villagers gather at the sun-drying field. Ma Minjun, you and your guards should take care of Qiu Jien."

"Don't worry, he is our amulet now, I know the weight of this matter, and I will never let him escape."

The villagers didn't have any organizational discipline. It took less than half an hour for the villagers to gather sparsely. At this time, Li Wei, who had been carving on the wooden board, also finished his work and jumped directly onto a haystack.

"The county soldiers outside, you've all seen it. When I don't want to talk about this today, what I want to talk about is how to make you rich!"

All kinds of nonsense were flying in the village. Everyone thought that the county soldiers were coming to exterminate them. Li Wei even directly took down the officer who led the team. They all thought that Li Wei was going to lead them to rebel. Many villagers even brought weapons coming.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Wei opened his mouth, he brought up a topic that none of them thought of.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Don't you believe it?"

This time even the villagers who were tied up were brought in, and Li Xianfu, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted directly: "Who doesn't want to live a good life? Who doesn't want to have enough food? But open your eyes and take a good look! In our Lijia Village, everywhere It’s a mountain, and the land that can be planted is as big as the palm of your hand, so how do you get rich?”

"That's right, don't you want to take us to be bandits?"

"If you want to kill officials and rebel, you will be taken with us. We have been duty-bound people for generations... Although we bought a daughter-in-law, we dare not rebel."

Hearing the villagers' complaints, Li Wei directly lifted up the newly carved wooden board.

"Look, this is your cornucopia."

"Nonsense, the cornucopia is a basin, who is your plank deceiving?"

Li Xianfu pouted and said.

"It's a painting now, but if this painting becomes a reality, it will become your cornucopia."

At this time, a sharp-eyed villager exclaimed: "Isn't this painting near our village? Isn't that hill top the dirt hill behind my house?"

"No, the hillsides here are all slanted, and the mountains on the wooden paintings are all divided into points."

Nodding his head, Li Wei praised: "Good eyesight, that's the difference, this is a terraced field, to put it bluntly, it's like a staircase, one level at a time.

As long as the layers of the mountain are dug up according to the slope of the hillside, there will be lands that can be cultivated. I just made a rough calculation, and digging out terraced fields around it can increase the cultivated land by at least twenty times! "

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of breathing in the threshing floor, and more than a dozen villagers sat on the ground in shock.

In this era, farming is the only source of income for farmers. Suddenly one day, someone tells you that you can increase your income twenty-fold. No heart can bear such a huge impact.

Li Xianfu sneered and said, "Do you think it's easy to be deceived if we haven't studied? It's good to dig mountains and build terraced fields, but how can we get so many people? It depends on our village. Will it take 100 years or 200 years to dig?"

After being splashed with cold water by Li Xianfu, the villagers also calmed down. Who doesn't know that meat is delicious, but they can't eat it, so they are in a hurry. Who can do it? "Labour, there are three sources, the first is you."

"Us? What do you mean?"

Li Xianfu asked suspiciously.

"Buying and selling people is a violation of the law, but your crime is not at the level of the death penalty, and you will be sentenced to hard labor, and the goal of your labor is to dig terraces."

Hearing Li Wei's words, the villagers kneeling on the ground cheered instead. They thought they would suffer slowly in the prison, but they didn't expect such a good thing. The hard labor is a bit hard, but they are serving their sentences in their own village. Being able to see and be taken care of by family members from time to time is better than going to jail.

"The second source is bad horses. The imperial court is now trading with the Kingdom of Jin. The Jin people are very treacherous and sell a lot of bad horses. The army of bad horses doesn't need them and can be rented out to you."

Li Xianfu snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know. Horses are more expensive than cattle. Even if you can't ride them, they can still be used to transport military supplies. Will you rent them to us?"

"Idiot, the only use of these bad horses during the war is to transport military supplies, but you can't fight every day, right? When you're not fighting, you keep them for nothing? Rent them to you, and you can earn rent to feed the good horses, and you will also feed the bad horses." How much fodder can the imperial court have left? As for the war, it doesn’t mean that it will be fought immediately. It must be mobilized before the war, and these bad horses will be taken directly to the battlefield. When the bad horses are taken away from Jinghuai County, they can also transport a batch The military rations provided by Jinghuai County, such a good thing, the court would not have thought of it?"

If the favor is given in vain, these farmers who are accustomed to being bullied by the government will definitely not believe it, but after listening to Li Wei's explanation, after thinking about it, the court has made a lot of money in this matter, and the more the court earns, the more they believe it Things can be done.

"The third source is to suppress the bandits. The bandits will be arrested and come here to build terraces."

When he said this, Li Wei was full of self-confidence. Not to mention that there were indeed bandits in Jinghuai County, even if there were no bandits, after he wiped out Guiyuan Dao, there would be a large number of criminals, and there was absolutely no shortage of coolies.

Hearing this, the farmers began to discuss. Li Xianfu also knew that his fate could not be changed. He just didn't want to see Li Wei proud, so he continued to shout: "Even if the terraced fields are repaired, how can the water be diverted? Can the water still flow to high places? No Water, no matter how much land you have, it’s useless!”

"You idiot can think of it, but I can't think of it?"

Li Wei took out the second piece of wood and continued: "Look, this is called a rollover, also called a keel waterwheel. It is a water conservancy machine that can lead water from a low place to a high place just by stepping on it with your feet. Even a woman can do it." competent."
