Those years when I made five scumbags cry

The fields around me

Jujube flower fragrance at hand

Sorghum is ripe and red

Jiu'er, I'll take you to a faraway place

…………

Under the scorching sun, a man in a short coat, a straw hat on his head, rolled up his trousers and exposed his calf, was working in the field.

A cloud of smoke and dust rose in the distance, obscuring the vision in the scorching air. A group of people and horses on the official road came from the direction of King Cheng's fiefdom, and the sound of horseshoes slowed down.

The leader rode a black horse and wore golden armor. His pupils reflected the city of Yun under the scorching sun. Seeing the large sorghum outside the city, Xiao Lu's resolute lips flickered. smile.

He has not been here for more than a year since he left Yuncheng.

With the implementation of the New Deal, everything is under control, and their warehouses are filling up quickly as his uncle said.Whether it was the people Xiao Lu sent out or Hua Heng himself, the seeds they brought back one after another were all planted on these lands.

In the past year or so, the weather has been good and the weather has been beautiful everywhere, and the harvest of all crops has been very good, meeting their expectations.

The remaining six princes had frequent frictions in the past six months, and finally war broke out again.

The fiefdoms of King Shun and King Cheng merged, King Zhao annexed King Wu, and the two sides began to erode towards King Chen and King Yan in the middle. After completely annexing these two weaker forces, it will be the final battle of the feudal lords.

The emperor has already existed in name only, and whoever becomes the final winner, he will give up to whom, and let him be the new king of the Shang Dynasty.

Right now Xiao Lu is coming back from his younger brother King Cheng, passing through the fiefdom of King Li, so he intends to come and have a look.

Unexpectedly, but more than a year later, the wasteland outside the city has been completely reclaimed and planted with sorghum seeds. In autumn, the outside of the city completely turns into a sea of ​​red, which can be seen without going close.

Xiao Lu stopped and heard the general beside him say: "This year will be a bumper harvest year, my lord."

Xiao Lu nodded and said, "You are right."

In other fiefdoms under his rule, those crops grew equally luxuriantly, but they were not as spectacular as the large red sorghum outside Yuncheng.

They rode forward and saw a figure working in the field, so Xiao Lu said, "Go and have a look."

Under such a scorching sun, there are still people working. It seems that the subjects of King Li's fiefdom are really hardworking, completely different from their idle appearance.Xiao Lv is satisfied, this is the world's granary they have decided, obviously he did not make a wrong choice.

Soldiers from King Li's fiefdom reclaimed a large piece of wasteland outside the city. They planted barley in spring and sorghum in autumn. The sorghum harvest was only in mid-to-late August. There was no telling how much grain could be harvested from this piece of arable land alone.

Xiao Lv rode his horse up to the man who was working, and saw that the man was only concentrating on looking at the sorghum tassels in his hand, and didn't notice the sound of horse's hooves behind him.

Xiao Lu looked at this person's back, feeling a little familiar.

But how could he know a farmer who plowed the land here?So His Royal Highness Shun felt that he was wrong. He judged that the other party's age should not be very old, so he rode on the horse and called out: "Little brother."

The man was still looking at his sorghum ears seriously in the field, but did not answer.

The military commander behind Xiao Lu frowned, drove his horse forward, and said, "What's the matter with you, my lord is talking to you, can't you hear me?"

Xiao Lu stopped him with his eyes, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this."

The general then shut up.

They waited in the field for a while, and finally waited until the man finished watching his sorghum, then stood in the field and turned to look at them.

When Xiao Lu saw this face, he suddenly laughed: "Ah Heng?"

Although I haven't seen Hua Heng for more than a year, he is still exactly the same as before. No wonder he dare not answer when he is called around like this.

The young man was under the ridge of the field, he raised his hat with his hand, looked at him playfully with his eyes, and said, "The lord is here?"

Xiao Lu rode on the horse and asked, "Why are you here?" He looked up at the venomous sun in the sky, then looked at the people below, and said, "Why don't you come out when the sun is not so fierce?" ?”

Chu Yunfei raised his head to look at him. He hadn't seen him for more than a year, but Xiao Lv still treated him the same, as if there hadn't been more than a year in between.

He didn't look at other people, and only explained to the person in front of him: "The harvest is coming soon. Yesterday, the soldiers said that there were worms in some places. Although I prepared the medicine, I was afraid that it would not work, and I was afraid that other places would be infested with worms, so Just come and watch."

The general was watching the two talking. He is a general under King Cheng, and now he is a general under Xiao Lu. He has never met this uncle of the country. He just feels that King Shun does not treat this young man as he treats others. This young man In front of Xiao Lu, she also seems to be used to getting along with him like this, which is really strange.

Then he turned his head and asked the person next to him in a low voice: "Who is this young man?"

Their deputy general had followed Xiao Lu for a long time, and knew which ancestor was standing in the field, so he replied softly: "If you go back to the general, this is our uncle Guo, he is the elder brother of Mrs. Hua who is my lord's favorite The son of the prefect of Yuncheng, Hua Heng."

Chu Yunfei originally focused on Xiao Lu, but when he heard what the lieutenant general said, he couldn't help showing a half-smile expression.

He has been growing food here, naturally there will be no concubine Hua in the palace, but he did not expect that no matter in the harem or in the court, there are legends of concubine Hua circulating everywhere.

So he looked at Xiao Lu who played an important role in it, Xiao Lu smiled at him, and then said: "Are you done with your work? Come up when you are done."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to him immediately, not caring that his uncle hadn't come out of the mud at all.

This kind of favor surprised the generals behind him, but the others were not surprised.

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "I'm not done yet, I live here, and I won't go back."

Hearing his words, Xiao Lu followed his fingers and looked to the side, only to see a simple thatched hut near the field, where his uncle Guo lived.

Xiao Lu's gaze changed, and so did the expressions of the generals behind him. He never thought that a majestic son of the prefect of Yuncheng, an uncle of the country, would live in this kind of place. It is really worse than ordinary people.

Chu Yunfei thought it was troublesome to run back and forth, so he built a thatched hut here.

He is not an ordinary person, he is not afraid of heat or cold, he can live anywhere, and it is not as bitter as they imagined.

Standing in the field, he saw that the sun was so fierce that sweat was streaming down Xiao Lu's handsome face, so he said: "My lord, go into the city. My father should have received the news about your coming. They are waiting for you." You guys, I'll go back later."

In this case, Xiao Lu didn't force it, he just said: "Okay, then let's go into the city."

He raised his hand to signal, and everyone rode their horses to follow, and the group slowly left from the edge of the field.

Behind them, Chu Yunfei turned his head to look at the medication situation in another place. This is basically how his life was.

Xiao Lu rode a horse on the official road, all the way to the city gate, and then couldn't help but look back under the scorching sun, only to see the figure of the young man still in the field.He thought, Hua Heng really did a lot for himself, and he wanted to stay in King Li's fief, probably because of what he saw right now.

In this autumn harvest season, Yuncheng's harvest will definitely be very large, and it will provide enough food and grass for their army.

The general next to Xiao Lu immediately took two steps forward, and said puzzledly: "My lord, why is uncle Guo here?"

Xiao Lu said: "He just thinks it's interesting."

interesting?The general didn't think so, he just said: "The offspring from such aristocratic family, unless there is some reason, it is impossible for them to find this kind of drudgery interesting."

Xiao Lu's heart moved, and he said, "You think so too?"

He rode forward, slightly lost in thought.

The military commander behind him still regarded Hua Heng as a boy at first sight, which made Xiao Lu suddenly realize that Hua Heng should be almost 20 years old now, but his appearance still hasn't changed much from a year ago.

A cultivator is obviously different from ordinary people. After entering this realm, his appearance will not change. It will remain this way for decades or hundreds of years, while the people around him will gradually grow old.

He was left alone in time, watching others being gradually taken away by time, he didn't know how it would feel.

The wind blew across the sorghum field, setting off patches of red waves. Against this backdrop, Xiao Lu's army arrived at the gate of the city.

Prefect Hua and the others had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw him, they brought the people behind him to bow down and said, "See you, my lord."

Xiao Lu smiled slightly, got off his horse and helped him up with his own hands, and said, "Father-in-law doesn't need to be so polite."

There was a smile on Huaxiu's face, his father-in-law's position was stable, every time we met, Xiao Lu never forgot to call him father-in-law, which really made him feel better.

He said to Xiao Lu: "Thank you for your hard work, the mansion has prepared a banquet to welcome His Highness to wash away the dust.

Xiao Lu smiled and said, "Okay."

Hua Xiu looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "The city has also prepared accommodation and food for the soldiers."

The general behind Xiao Lu said, "Prefect Hua is very thoughtful."

Hua Xiu looked at him and felt that the general looked strange, so he only said: "Now is the time of war, we civil servants can't do anything, we have to rely on the general and the soldiers to share the Lord's worries."

Xiao Lv said: "No, you are doing very well." Then he turned around, raised his arms in front of everyone and pointed at the large area of ​​cultivated land outside the city: "I came to Yuncheng alone more than a year ago, and said that this place will become the world's largest land. granary."

He looked at Huaxiu and said, "You did it."

Hua Xiu quickly said, "It's all thanks to the lord, that's why everything went so smoothly."

The people Xiao Lu sent out to look for the seeds, at most, returned within a year, and at least, like Jiang Lan, returned within ten and a half months.Different crops are planted, corresponding to the climate and water and soil, not only the Li King's fiefdom has excellent results here, but other places are also the same.

Huaxiu knew in his heart that the reason why King Li's fief was so outstanding here was because of his son.

Thinking about it this way, it's almost full of brilliance.
