The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 7 The People's Desire



Chapter 7 The People's Desire

In a blink of an eye, ten days later.

Xin Yeben, an insignificant small town in Nanyang, is now crowded with people from north to south.Countless merchants also came here, and this is the time to make a fortune.

As for Zhang Xiu, at the moment he is wearing armor and patrolling the city defense with his sword in hand. This is what he does every day. Looking at the thriving Xinye, he feels very comfortable.

But thinking of Cao Cao's border crimes in the coming year, Zhang Xiu's god level became tense again. He was looking forward to fighting the hero Cao Cao, but also fearful because of their disparity in strength.

Beside, Hu Che'er followed.

There was a smile on the fierce and dark face, and he grinned and said: "My lord, in the past the common people saw us as if they saw robbers, but now they see us as kind."

"It's a great feeling to be respected."

Zhang Xiu stopped and said solemnly: "This is called a sense of honor. While enjoying this honor, you should also shoulder this responsibility and protect them."

Hu Che'er was taken aback by Zhang Xiu's actions, scratched his head and said, "I don't know about these, but my lord, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Zhang Xiu shook his head helplessly: "Hey, this is the marrow washing pill, which can improve your martial strength a little bit, don't tell others, and no one will take it by themselves later."

"Washing marrow pill?" Hu Che'er disturbed his dark head, and looked at the pill on Zhang Xiu's fingertips with a confused face. Can this thing increase the force value?
Zhang Xiu handed it over. There were two pills of Xisui Pill, which were only effective for people with a force value of [-] and below. He could make an exception, and he naturally took one.

Raise the force value from 103 to 108.

And Hu Che'er's force value is exactly ninety, which is quite satisfactory, and his loyalty is close to one hundred, so there is nothing wrong with giving him a marrow washing pill.

Then, Zhang Xiu greeted the kind people along the way, and these people were all skinny and poorly dressed, and drinking porridge for the past few days kept him from turning pale.

This is the truest portrayal of troubled times. Most of them rely on grass and trees to satisfy their hunger. Every time they see it, Zhang Xiu trembles. Who will pity them?
Do your best, listen to destiny!
Born in heaven and earth, but ask for a clear conscience!
…………

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

In the field outside Xinye City, Zhang Xiu had already shed his armor and was working with many people with a shovel. He had to open up wasteland.

Grain is so important!

Every time a piece of land is planted, more people in need can be fed, so that Zhang Xiu spared no effort, sweating profusely, working on the ground.

The refugees were divided into plots and formed into villages. Here is Zhangjiatun, composed of more than a dozen refugees from Zhangjia Village, plus a group of refugees.

"Father, why are you working so hard to open up wasteland and save energy, anyway, we have a lot of rice porridge." A teenage boy was a little negative.

As the words came out, the old man trembled.

He looked at his son in disbelief, his body trembling with anger, his gray beard quivering, and angrily said: "Bastard, Mr. Ming is in charge of your food and drink, yet you say such outrageous things."

"If there is no Minggong, you still eat grass roots and bark to live on. I will repay you with all my heart, but you call Minggong by his name. I want you, a rebellious son, for what use!"

"Go away, go away!"

"My Chen family doesn't have a rebellious son like you!"

"Father, I..." The boy didn't expect his father to be so excited suddenly, and quickly admitted his mistake.

At the same time, the old man in the clan glared at him, walked to the ground with a walking stick, and said in a trembling voice: "Fathers and folks, this old man is nearly eighty years old, and he has few years to live."

"However, the old man has good eyesight and is not blind. Mr. Ming used military rations to help the victims. He even went into the fields to reclaim land in order to save one more person. How can we not work hard?"

"If I can still join the army, why do I need to wait for the old man Minggong? Now, the old man has only one sentence, give me this wasteland, and it will be beautiful!"

"Whoever dares to steal and play tricks, the old man will not agree with the crutch in his hand!" As he said, his expression was agitated, and the crutch in his hand was strenuously hitting the ground.

"Duke Ming took my family in. If it wasn't for him to help, my wife and children would have starved to death in the wilderness. Whoever dares to steal, rape and play tricks in opening up wasteland, I will not agree!"

A strong man also roared.

In this era when human life is so trivial, some people don't hesitate to sacrifice themselves to help them. Even if they are oxen and horses, they will not be able to repay such great kindness.

The old man glared at his son before, threw the hoe over, and shouted: "If you dare to disrespect Duke Ming, I will break your legs with my own hands."

And this is just a microcosm. The entire Xinye, including several surrounding counties, is almost all like this. They don't have the twists and turns of later generations.

In their eyes, Zhang Xiu's status far exceeds that of the emperor!

It was Zhang Xiu who gave them a chance and allowed their children and wives to live. It was their luck to be such a gentleman. How could they cheat Zhang Xiu by stealing and cheating?

……

At this time,
Jia Xu came on horseback.

Along the way, he heard countless people talking about Zhang Xiu, but among all the people, no one dared to call him by his name, and they all worshiped him extremely.

And these people work even harder!
This is probably the popular feeling, right?But the aristocratic family is in power, and the hearts of the people are useless in comparison!

Looking at Zhang Xiu on the ground, Jia Xu stepped forward in twos and twos, "My lord, how can the lord farm these farm work himself, and just leave it to the people!"

"It's ridiculous. How can one live in a high place for a long time after being born in one place? How can one know the sufferings of the world like this? What's more, farming the fields can make people calm down."

Zhang Xiu reprimanded him!

"My lord's words are very true!" Jia Xu was ashamed.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"My lord, people from all over the country have been registered in households by villages and lands, but the number of refugees has increased. If this continues, the rations will not last until next month."

Jia Xu looked more dignified.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu closed her eyes in depression.

Food, he is extremely short of this thing, the system gives it not enough, and Wancheng has not enough left, it seems that they are all leaving for Jingzhou.

"I got it! No matter what, you can't treat the people badly. As I said, as long as Zhang Xiu has a ration, I won't starve them!" Zhang Xiu said loudly.

"No!" Jia Xu replied with a sigh.

He didn't know whether it was joy or worry, so it was a good thing to win over the hearts of the people, but what was the use of the hearts of the people?The princes from all over the country can't wait to kick these refugees away.

"I'll figure out a way to get the food. When the spring planting is over, I'll go to Jingzhou." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice, "Oh, by the way, how is the polder going?"

"It's being arranged, and it should be in time, but millet, it's time to sow seeds!" Jia Xu is also emotional, but it's a good thing that so many wastelands have come back to life!

…………

……

That night, in the study.

On the dark yellow paper, there are various details that need to be paid attention to, and Zhang Xiu even wrote down some major events that will happen in advance to prevent forgetting.

Of which concerning the fields,

One is a farm tool, and the other is thinning.

Farm tools need to be improved, and he has no idea yet, but the thinning must be implemented this time. There is no thinning in this era, and the people can't bear to pull out the grown seedlings.

The thinning method has been proven for thousands of years and can increase production.

Among the major historical events, there are two that attracted Zhang Xiu's attention, one is that Lu Bu stabbed Liu Bei on the back, the other is that the emperor returns to Luoyang, and Cao Cao will welcome the emperor to Xuchang!

He tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a moment.

Then he looked at the system again, this was the only place where he could come back, and inside, there were still five lottery draws that were useless after sleeping with Zou last time.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 10 sets of glass tea cups."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a set of shooting projection equipment*."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the lighter*20."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning a set of solar multi-function charger*."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 50 boxes of instant noodles*."
