Beiyang new warlord

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Thanks to Dade, the old man also scrambled and retreated, leading a large group of "tenants" back and heading south.

"Brother-in-law! This small Fangqiang Ridge is obviously a wasteland! We have less than 4000 households in Shuozhou, and most of the more than [-] people are in Qingshui by the river. Qiu Ning, why don't you give them household registration and get more food? okay?"

As soon as the person left, the fat and strong city gate official couldn't bear it anymore, and asked hurriedly, but the defense envoy Liu couldn't help grinning sullenly.

"Fool! You have to turn in the grain after registering for household registration. What's the matter with you and me! Isn't it wonderful to send a group of untouchables to grow food for our family with this piece of waste paper! You kid, learn more, don't be old. Run to the kiln!"

"Brother-in-law, what you said is very true. If you don't want to celebrate a group of untouchables, let's go have a drink!"

"Go!"

During the singing and the harmony, the two top sergeant officers of Shuozhou went leisurely and unrestrainedly. Before leaving, the defense envoy Liu didn't forget to pick up the silver and kicked it into his arms. He didn't know it. what sold!

159. What a village

Construction has always been the most difficult. Moreover, there are two big mountain roots in the Xiaofangqiang Ridge area. The Yalu River tributary, the nearest water source, is still at the foot of the mountain. A group of refugees fleeing with empty stomachs, no food, and no farm tools, so it is difficult to take root. What's more, there are many bandits nearby, and Liu's defense envoy didn't take it seriously when the old man and dozens of refugees were thrown there.

That place is even more remote and inaccessible. Except for some hunters and ginseng diggers, no one goes there for a month or two. Lazy and unwilling to move, the days passed slowly until October.

"What? Back empty-handed!"

In the entire city of Shuozhou, this defensive emissary mansion is a bit decent, with red paint and blue tiles, a typical Goryeo dwelling, but with this high-pitched voice, the tiles on the shaking roof rattled a few times. Li Chaoren, who was wearing a leather robe, was pushed out of the corridor and fell down the hall. They didn't dare to get up, and kowtowed on the ground like a ball.

"My lord, I really don't blame the villains! The side of the small Fangqiang Ridge has sealed off the mountain, and the little ones are really not allowed to go up the mountain!"

That radish face was as angry as a squid, and it was the season of hunting ginseng in the mountains again. I wanted to have a little chicken stewed with ginseng to make up for it, and Defense Envoy Liu sent these ginseng pickers from Shuozhou to He went to run errands. After waiting for more than three days, a bird came out of his mouth. They didn't even bring back a single hair. Hearing this explanation, this willow was even more angry. Picked it up and smashed it.

"Fart! There's not even a single ghost in Fangqiangling, you let the ghost hit the wall? You're fooling me! Someone, let me throw these fools and lazy people to the prison!"

"My lord, I am wronged!"

A few yamen servants came up and dragged an unlucky ginseng picker with shoe prints on his face like a prison. Along the way, these people couldn't stop howling and begging for mercy.His cheeks bulged like a toad for a long time, and he picked up a pot of tea, Master Liu put his hand into his mouth, wrapped the spout and drank for a long time, took a breath, and then swayed his legs and yelled.

"This group of fallen people, trash, none of them are of any use. Third child, you find two people for me. After two days, let's hunt some rabbits or something by ourselves, raise autumn fat, and have a tooth-making sacrifice!"

The guy who watched the city gate that day had been dazed all the time, and after being pushed and pulled by him, he got up vaguely as if asleep, and clicked his mouth for a long time, finally uttering a word.

"What?"

In Mao Jue’s era, there was a divine drama called “The Bow”, which was about a village burned by the Jurchens during the war between the Jin and Li Dynasties, and the girl was ruined by the Jurchens, and then his brother Xiaoyu broke out and took a bow The story of the stallion's skillful Houjin Baqi being shot down.

I don’t know how Li’s Korean archery skills are, but this guy has a lot of things, a thick robe made of animal skin, a pot of arrows and two bows are back together, and there is a bow puller on his hand, Liu Fangwei A group of more than twenty people rode horses like walking in the mountains.

Although there are mountains near Shuozhou, it is too close to the place where people live. If you really want to dig ginseng, you have to go deeper into the inaccessible Alishan and Tianmoling area. This is a grandfather in the city. However, when he left the city, Defense Envoy Liu turned into Sun Zidan'er again, and while he was dangling on the horse, he suddenly turned his head with lingering fear.

"Third, the ones on the side of the small Fangqiang Ridge, could they be Sheshanying and the others? They wouldn't have fled from Turtle City and Tianmo to our Shuozhou, right?"

There are many mountains in Ping'an Road, so there are many bandits. It is no wonder that the Lee Dynasty divided people into four grades. And the adjacent Hamgyong Road is desolate and sparsely populated, so it has become a paradise for bandits.

But as for bandits, they spend most of their time farming by themselves throughout the year. Occasionally, when they find an opportunity, they go down to the village to grab a ticket. After all, this place is not rich, and there is nothing to grab.

Of course, if they met a Shuozhou defense envoy who came to their door, the bandits would still be happy to accept it.

However, after hearing these words, the city gate officer who almost fell asleep immediately muttered in a daze.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry! Sheshanying is my brother-in-law. Besides, we are in a remote village, and there are not even two villages in Sanqi River. They come here to grab something?"

"The one who drove some fallen people back yesterday"

"Hey, brother-in-law, did you forget? A few months ago, there were some poor ghosts from the Yellow Sea Road. You assigned the mountain land of Chuan Gen'er to them to open up wasteland. It must be that group of people!"

Not to mention, as soon as this was mentioned, Liu Fangfen made that carrot's face light up as if it had been electrified.

"So, these poor ghosts haven't starved to death yet?"

"Damn it, drive back the people who dared to take pictures of the master and I, hurry up, the master wants to show some color to these lowly people!"

With this enthusiasm, the bumpy mountain road is much faster, more than 20 miles away in a blink of an eye, and when we arrive at the ground, not only the defensive envoy Liu, but also the fat and strong third child and the twenty-odd guards are almost the same. He didn't pop his eyeballs out at all.

Is this still Kawao?

The small Fangqiang Ridge on the left and the right side of Panmu Ridge occupies a lot of space. The Sanqichuan River in the middle also diverges here. Only the Bailuang in the middle of the river fork is considered flat. There used to be two villages. But after Ding Mao's chaos last time, they were all abandoned, and now the thousand people in Shuozhou are gathered on the relatively flat impact plain beside the Yalu River.

But it’s only been three months since we saw each other. All the river forks full of stones have been plowed out, filled with green crops as tall as a person, and a rather large and neat brick and tile village is located in an orderly manner. At the bottom of the river, on both sides of the mountain, there is a village in each of the valleys that branch out. The mountain fields are also planted with unknown things. Anyway, they are green and green, and there are no less than a few thousand acres of land.

Between the villages, gravel was mixed with something unknown to pave the roads connected together. This change is simply earth-shaking.

I was stupid for a few seconds, and the willow defense almost didn't let the halazi flow down. How much oil and water did I have to scrape down?

"Enter the village!"

It’s a bit like a ghost entering a village, everything is new to see, next to the nearest Xiaochuan River, there is a village at the bottom of the mountain, walking on the gravel road, a group of Shuozhou officials poked their heads like two fools, the construction should still be At the intersection, some people mixed the mud with crushed stones dug out of the ground, and built a round and thick house there. It is more than two meters high and is still under construction. By the river, there is a The big waterwheel stood there, powered by the continuous flow of water from the Xiaochuan River, and the stone mill was still creaking. What made Liu's defense dissatisfied was that these untouchables were as busy as ants, and some of them just left behind. Come over and take a look, no one came to salute and say hello.

There is actually a tea stand at the entrance of the village, with tea at one end and tea eggs boiled in a pot at the other end. After walking for a long time, the defense envoy was thirsty and tired, so he went up and found a place to sit. , proudly holding the teapot and gurgling into his own mouth, on the other end, the third child, like a dog, smelled it and went into the tea and egg bowl, regardless of the hot hands, he went up and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hey, hey, who are you! Don't drink tea from a spout, how can we sell it! Tea eggs cost ten cents a piece, do you have money?"

At this moment, a little girl popped out of the shop. Seeing the scene, she started yelling out of anger, but her Korean language was obviously not standard, and there were some Chinese mixed in.

Looking back, Liu Fangfang made that radish face light up instantly, she was really a beauty from a firewood house, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with an oval face flushed with anger, her small breasts bulging, holding a basket of tobacco leaves hysterically there Stamping his feet immediately aroused his lust, and he waved his whip carelessly.

"Third, this girl has been caught, go back and make me a side room for the master!"

"Look, brother-in-law!"

With a mouthful of egg yolk stuffed in his mouth, he answered vaguely, the fat, fat guy opened his hairy chest, and rushed towards him with a ferocious grin like a wild boar.

"Hey, what are you doing? I'm going to call someone!"

A few stinky men with malicious intentions pounced on her. Even a girl would have to be afraid. While stepping back, the tea seller shouted in panic, and the shouts were hooked, and the servants showed obscene grinning smiles. .

"Little girl, go ahead and yell! See if your throat is broken and someone will come to save you! Come here! Oops"

The little girl is small and weak, but she is flexible enough. The third child pulled her arm over and just grabbed her shoulder when the girl bit him on the palm of her hand, jumping up and down like a bear with bloody teeth marks. He roared angrily.

"Hey! My master has taken a fancy to you. It is the blessing you have cultivated in eight lifetimes. You dare to bite me. Hold it down and tie it up!"

A few big men bullied a little girl, and they didn't know whether to be shy or not. Even if this girl was as flexible as a loach, she couldn't stand the crowd. In the middle, the two slender and lovely arms were forcibly pulled behind her, and the rope was tied up while she screamed. Seeing that the girl's little hands were tied high behind her back, she was tied up purple, and the third child was very proud. proceed.

"Call me! Let me see who dares to meddle in my own business!"

Not to mention, I really didn't talk about it. While talking, a lot of masons at the entrance of the village who were repairing houses stopped doing their work. The guys who left behind surrounded them with a whimper. shouted and cursed.

"Who the hell are you? Dare to come to our [-]th Guards camp to make trouble, eat the guts of a leopard, right?"

"Defense makes the master do things, and everyone who is sensible will go away, and if you annoy the master, you will all be sent to jail!"
