At the end of the dynasty, it is natural not to treat everyone equally.
If the prisoners, villagers, and soldiers all ate the same food, wouldn't it all be a mess?
Moreover, Han Xi himself adheres to the philosophy that those who are capable get the most, and hates those who enjoy their success, cheat and cheat.
The situation of eating from a big pot like today will definitely not last long.
However, even if they are treated differently, the farmers in these villages take it for granted, and even have happy smiles on their faces. They used to eat wild vegetable paste, whole grain pancakes and steamed buns.
In times like these, you can get a little bit of meat almost every day, and what you eat is fine-grain pancakes. Today, it was something I couldn't even think about before.
Han Xi naturally didn't know about this. For future generations, eating meat every day is a normal thing.
Carrying a bowl of meat and a few pancakes, he took them back and prepared to go back to the earthen house to eat. The cold wind outside was blowing coolly.
Back in the courtyard, Han Xi saw the quilt that had been delivered to him. He put the meat on the table and was about to look at the quilt. However, when he saw a strand of black thread leaking from the quilt, he stopped and looked at the window. Step up and close it, then it gets stuck.
Then Han Xi walked out of the room casually.
After a while, a dozen imperial soldiers entered the room. Han Xi said leisurely behind the soldiers: "What? Do you want me to ask you to get up?"
The person hiding under the quilt heard this and knew that he had been discovered, so he stood up quickly.
The person hiding was none other than the red lady who escaped earlier in the morning.
At this time, the red lady's clothes were wet, revealing her graceful figure due to martial arts training.
After the red lady escaped today, she did not run far. Later, she followed Han Xi all the way back to Chenjiagou. Now she was hiding under the quilt to see if there was any chance to kidnap Han Xi and rescue his accomplices.
"You are brave enough to come here alone. Where is my horse?" Han Xi asked, looking at the red lady whose clothes were still slightly wet.
"Where are my people?" asked the red lady, not afraid at all, explaining what it means to be brave when you are an expert.
"Two of them couldn't hold on. They're gone. The others are still fine." After saying that, Han Xi turned around and left the earthen house, and the imperial soldiers who came in also moved out of the way.
The meaning is obvious, let the red lady follow.
It can be said that the red lady is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, so she followed him generously, and she was not afraid of several imperial soldiers following behind her.
After walking around the village for a while, the group finally arrived at the end of the village.
When the red lady arrived at the end of the village and saw a group of Hui children laughing and playing, people were surprised by such a peaceful scene!
When a group of kids saw a group of people coming, they immediately stopped playing and hid in the corner.
Because it rained today, these children did not have to herd the sheep. They only had to feed the donkeys and horses in the stables with the adults.
"All your people are in this courtyard." Han Xi stepped aside.
Seeing this, the red lady stepped in directly, and then she saw that all the people who were following were tied with white cloth strips, and there were two people lying on the ground, their heads covered with white cloth.
Seeing the two corpses on the ground, the red lady just sighed and was not too sad. For people like them who make a living by knife, death is a common occurrence.
"Red Lady, why are you here!"
Seven or eight people in the courtyard house stood up when they saw the red lady, and they all said that the red lady should not have come in person.
"Okay, I'll take you back right now." The red lady interrupted everyone, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.
At this time, a cloth bag was thrown over. The red lady reached out to catch it, shook the bag, and heard a metallic sound from the bag. When she opened the gap and looked, she saw pieces of golden leaves inside.
"There are ten taels of gold in this bag. Just think of it as the salt I bought for you. The rest is the settling-in fee for your brother. If there is any salt in the future, it can be shipped directly here. We will accept any amount." Han Ximan Face smiled.
"I wonder what your name is?" The red lady put the gold into her arms without any politeness. The dead brother really needed Anjia Yin, and the injured brother also needed money.
"Hahaha! The next word is King of Side by Side. They all call me General. You can just call me King of Side by Side. General, too." Han Xi said casually.
The red lady looked strange. Could it be that the leader in her mind had listened to too many stories?
Just this small village is worthy of a great general.
"General, can you let me take the people out? The horses will be returned by then." The red lady cupped her hands and said.
"Okay!" Han Xi agreed simply.
This surprised the red lady!
But after a while, the red lady also understood why Han Xi agreed so readily.
Because there were more than fifty cavalry following behind.
There were more than fifty cavalrymen, one man and two horses, at the head of the village. The horses kept breathing white.
At this time, the Red Lady and her group were sitting on three donkey carts, feeling a little solemn as they looked at the fifty or so riders following behind.
"Hahaha! It's cold at night, so be careful to catch a cold. This quilt is for you." Han Xi threw the newly made quilt over.
The red lady took the quilt and immediately saw a beautiful water stain on the white quilt, which made her cheeks blush slightly: "Thank you, General."
After saying that, the red lady waved her whip, and the donkey cart crunched forward on the muddy and snow-white fields.
Han Xi watched the group of people leave at the entrance of the village. This time he did not follow them. Why did he follow them in the cold weather?
Now we have made peace with these people.
The settlement allowance of forty taels per person is considered very generous.
In this chaotic world, the most worthless thing is human life. There are a lot of guards in the county who sell themselves, and one can be sold for a dozen taels.
Moreover, these people who sell private salt are just trying to make money with their lives.
Of course, it is also possible that a group of people cheated on the six horses. After all, six horses are worth more than two hundred taels.
If they can escape from more than fifty cavalry, it is considered a skill of this group of people, so there is no harm in giving the horse to them.
After thinking about it for a moment, I felt snowflakes falling on my face.
This made Han Xi frown. There was already a thin layer of snow on the ground. If it snowed and rained during this period, I don't know if those potatoes would be able to grow.
Han Xi planted more than fifty acres of potatoes, but he didn't plant too many. After all, it was his first time to plant potatoes when winter was about to begin in the north.
Soon, Han Xi stopped thinking about it. He would just build a plastic greenhouse and add a few braziers tomorrow.
It’s not like Han Xi has never seen vegetable greenhouses in winter.
But you have to think carefully about what to use to rub plastic with your hands.
It’s long and thin. The first thing that comes to mind is paper. Unfortunately, we don’t have that technology now.
The second thing that comes to mind is cloth. The specifications of a piece of cloth are three feet and two feet long and one foot and eight inches wide, which is about ten meters long and about fifty centimeters wide.
Ten acres of land is about the size of a football field. It would take thousands of pieces of cloth to cover it. This is really a luxury.
Thousands of pieces of cloth can be exchanged for more than 400 stones of grain.
Moreover, textile factories currently do not have the production capacity, so this idea has been directly ruled out.
Just like that, Han Xi thought as he walked back to his adobe room and sighed when he saw the empty bed. This was another night of freezing.
