Chapter 35 The distress of the villagers
This Baihu is a smooth person.
Li Yi stared at Baihu for a while, regardless of whether he was sincere or not, turned around and said: "Then forget it."
Seeing this fierce man about to leave, the hundred households quickly got up and followed him staggeringly, saying, "Brother Li, don't leave yet. I have other things to do this time."
"
Hearing that there were other things, Li Yi started to worry about it, stopped and said, "What's the matter?"
"Hehe." That Baihu also knew that what he was doing was not a good job, and he might annoy the fierce man in front of him, but he still said: "Come here this time, Mr. Fu Zun will ask this little brother to harass Brother Li for a few days.
.It is said to prevent Baiyangdian thieves from coming to cause trouble."
"So if you are here, the thieves in Baiyangdian will not dare to come and cause trouble?" Li Yi sneered, making hundreds of households look ashamed and speechless.
The thieves in Baiyangdian are all fierce bandits, but the soldiers in his hands can't even defeat the local warriors who are only half of his number. How can he have the nerve to protect him?
In fact, they were just troops sent by the prefect to monitor An Xin and prevent this group of refugees from causing trouble. They had no ability to suppress bandits.
"Brother Li, don't be upset. I'm just following the instructions of the palace master. I can swear that if Brother Li doesn't let me say anything, I will not say a word." Baihu said solemnly, but with his words
The pig head is quite ridiculous.
Li Yi looked at him in surprise. He thought that if these hundreds of households suffered a loss, they would definitely go back to the city to complain. Unexpectedly, he actually turned around and made friends with himself, a small citizen, which was quite interesting.
Thinking of this, he said slowly: "I wonder how long you will stay here? I can also clear out a house for you to live in."
When the hundred households saw that Li Yi's expression improved, as if he no longer disliked himself, they hurriedly said happily: "Brother Li, please don't call me sir. My younger brother's name is *. He is a small hundred households in the Baoding Prefecture Health Center. Brother Li, call me Caihou."
That’s it. If you need me to do anything in the future, just ask, I’ll still be available for a little help.”
*After saying that, he only saw Li Yi looking at him indifferently, which made him at a loss. The atmosphere was a little depressed for a while, and he lowered his head slightly, fearing that he would be beaten again.
You must not know that at this time Li Yi was thinking about who this person was and why he acted so strangely.
There are soldiers around him, and they are people sent from Fucheng. It can be believed that he is indeed a hundred households. But as an official, why does he respect himself so much as a commoner? Li Yi will not naively think that it is because of himself
Convinced him.
But looking at his behavior, it doesn't look like he has ulterior motives or any grudge. Thinking about it this way, his magnanimity and his dealings with others seem to be very sophisticated, and he can actually get in touch with them.
Thinking of this, Li Yi said to *: "Then you stay here first. If anything happens, just find someone to call me. Just one thing, take care of your people and don't cause trouble. This is not a county town. If you cause trouble, don't
I blame you for being rude."
As soon as Li Yi said these words,* he felt the pressure on his body suddenly reduce, and he hurriedly agreed with his hands.
Only waiting for Li Yi to leave, * raised his head, and the look on his face became a bit unpredictable.
When the matter came to an end, the surrounding villagers ignored the hundreds of soldiers lying on the ground wailing and helped Yong Ding carry the things into the warehouse one by one.
On the other side, Zhang Qianyi and several apprentices began to register and make a list, checking the items clearly one by one for easy access.
* Seeing that he ignored him again, he stood there for a while with an embarrassed look on his face, but he did not lead the people away in despair. Instead, he licked his face and stepped forward to help, so that everyone's dislike of him was slightly weakened.
After some statistics, the farm tools and grains sent by the governor this time were quite sufficient, and there were also many miscellaneous items, which made everyone very happy. However, the most important grain was only 500 dan, which was only enough for more than 3,000 of them.
Half a month.
You must know that there are still four months until the harvest season in August. How can this little grain last until the harvest?
There are also the most important cattle for farming. The hundred cattle that were promised at the beginning turned out to be only more than thirty, and all of them were skinny. It felt like they would starve to death in the next second, and it was difficult to serve them for a long time.
There was no way to get down to the ground.
He took in the refugees as promised, but in the end he only got these things. Li Yi couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Now he finally understood why the villagers around him gritted their teeth when they mentioned being an official. Just like him, they had been deceived so miserably.
These officials do one thing to their faces and another behind their backs. On the one hand, they are benevolent and moral, but on the other hand, they do not keep their word. It is really irritating.
But Li Yi and others are insignificant people, so they can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their mouths.
No matter what, now that everyone has finally settled down, Li Yi will never give up the construction in Anxin. What he wants now is for these villagers to live a good life and stop running around like beggars.
Thinking of these things, Li Yi rode his horse back to the field glumly, took the farm tools from an aunt, and started plowing the land crazily.
The aunt was not angry, and her numb waist shouted: "Little benefactor, who made you angry again? Did the old patriarch teach you?"
Li Yi raised his head, stared at the aunt, and said slowly: "It's the governor. He promised to give us food, but he only gave us half a month's supply. The cattle he gave were of no use at all. They are not officials."
? Why are you so untrue to your word?"
The aunt laughed and sat on the ground, "My little benefactor is still too naive. There are some officials who keep their word. If we don't have food to eat, we will never put our thoughts on the officials and ask them for help."
Why not put in some effort to find something to eat."
Li Yi's eyes widened. He didn't know why the aunt didn't trust the officials so much, and said: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have believed their words and brought so many refugees back."
The aunt came over and patted Li Yi on the back. Two lines of hot tears could not stop falling, and said: "Everyone is also grateful to you. From the day we walked out of Yan'an, no one dared to think that we could still live such a life. We
I'm satisfied. You are still young, but you are more capable than us. You have put in so much effort and suffered so much, and everyone can see it."
The folks nearby all nodded in agreement.
Everyone can see who is working the hardest between An Xin and An Xin. Although Li Yi is the leader of An Xin, in the end he is still just a child. He works so hard every day, and his heart is full of flesh. Everyone feels sorry for him.
After all, they all regard Li Yi as their own relative.
Li Yi couldn't stop crying from his eyes, but it was useless to be sad. He wiped it hard, picked up the hoe and continued to work.
At this time, we can only try our best to make the food grow as quickly as possible, so that everyone can have hope.
After a busy day, Li Yi did not let the people of Yongying go to work in the fields the next day, but asked them all to gather together to prepare for the next battle.
