Hometown, thin fields, land reclamation, farming, autumn harvest.
Throughout the ages, the Chinese nation has always had an indescribable love for the land.
Since the founding of the world in Pangu, emperors have been proud of opening up new territories, generals and ministers have been proud of splitting the earth and conferring kings, and the common people have regarded obtaining every inch of land as the basis for their livelihood. With land, the noble families can hoard private grain and raise private soldiers. , dominating one area and bringing blessings; when ordinary people have land, they can settle down as small farmers and continue their family lineage.
All in all, the land is the root, and with roots, it can last forever.
This may seem like a superficial truth, but it contains the strong local sentiments of the Chinese people. The Qin people in the north who copied the culture of the Han Dynasty may need a hundred years to understand it.
...
Huaxing County, Lingyuan City.
The several large gatherings in recent days have obviously become a bit bleak. Although they are lively and lively, there are no more lively scenes of people crowded and shoulder to shoulder. Many people no longer like the city and have gone to the countryside. .
According to Liu Yi, many people went to the countryside to find their roots.
Today, in Beicheng, Huang San, who has been a neighbor of veterinarian Huangfu Ke for nearly ten years, packed his luggage, closed the door, and went to Wangnanju to bid farewell to his original neighbors with longing.
Just as Liu Yi said, Huang San is also a member of the tens of thousands of "root-seeking" troops.
But Huang San turned out to be an out-and-out country boy with a few acres of thin farmland. More than ten years ago, his family's land was annexed by a small local family. For farmers, losing their land means losing their land. In order to make a living, he had no choice but to drag his son and daughter into Lingyuan City to make a living.
Huang San is a very hard-working person. He works hard in spring and autumn.
He bought firewood, caught big fish in the summer, and relied on his candied haws-making skills in the winter. In a few years, he actually bought a house in Beicheng and lived a prosperous life. If Li Daniu and Huangfu Ke had not each given birth to a good son, Huang San would probably be the best in the entire school street.
The reason why Huang San said goodbye to his neighbors and returned to the countryside is very simple.
Huaxing County implemented the emperor's policy and began to equalize and divide the land!
Huang San, who speaks with a local accent and is extremely lean, is very enthusiastic when he sees these neighbors. He looks at this and that. When he sees Liu Yi, he smiles and sighs, "Life is not going to be chaotic. When the husband brought you here, the little one didn't know how to drink milk. Then he shed a few sad tears, and everyone was sighing.
Liu Yi stood there, looking at Huang San, who had accompanied him all the way when he was growing up, and was filled with emotion: When he was a child, his family was poor, his father’s pocket was cleaner than his face, and he couldn’t afford candied haws, and this dry Huang in front of him. Uncle, he would always give me a few hawthorn sticks to satisfy his cravings during the holidays. A sweet and sour hawthorn would pop into his mouth. It was one of the most beautiful memories of his childhood.
Now that his old friend has passed away, Liu Yi is both happy and sad in his heart, and his expression is unclear whether he is crying or laughing.
I was laughing just now and now I am crying, riding a bull far beyond the former village!
In general, Huang San's farewell today made everyone feel more happy than sad.
Because everyone knew the reason for this farewell. After the new Pingtian Order was promulgated, many poor households with clean backgrounds and no land were allocated a share of land. Huang San, with the mentality of giving it a try, asked Ling Ding Xinchuan, the magistrate of Yuan County, submitted an application for land allocation. Unexpectedly, Ding Xinchuan actually
In accordance with the land allocation method stipulated in the "Five Grain Civil Order", Huang San was granted a large piece of land. Now, Huang San had found his roots. Although the farming season had passed this year, he was still preparing to return to his hometown to farm.
Even if I can't grow food, as long as I guard this piece of land, I, Huang San, will feel at ease.
While everyone was chatting, Li Erniu happened to be returning from the Pingtian Camp in the north of the city. Hearing the news that Huang San was planning to leave Lingyuan City, he sighed in awe, "After Uncle Huang leaves, if Lingyuan City wants to have another candied haws maker, Grand Master, you have to wait a few years! It seems that the young people in Lingyuan City will not be lucky!"
"Haha! You are still a child, and you are here to say that others are young people?"
Uncle Huang patted Li Erniu's strong shoulder and did not regard him as a military supervisor in the Pingtian Army at all. He only regarded him as his own child. He smiled heartily and said, "The house in Lingyuan is the property that my wife and I have worked hard for for many years. I don’t plan to replace or sell it. When I have nothing to do in the winter, I will bring my family back to live there for a while and make a fortune by making candied haws. This house, please help me when I am not here. Take care of it!”
Everyone readily agreed.
Liu Yi was quite moved and asked, "Uncle Huang, where did County Magistrate Ding place your land?"
"Wangjiacun!" Huang San opened his mouth wide, revealing his yellow teeth and a happy smile as sweet as honey.
Snapped!
Huang San's skinny body was hit so hard by Li Erniu's father, Li Daniu, that Huang San almost stumbled.
Li Daniu said angrily, "Wangjia Village, twenty miles east of the city? You, an old boy, are so good at acting. We thought you were throwing water."
After leaving home, it was already a thousand miles away. Who would have thought that it was already under your feet, twenty miles away, and riding a pony, not only half an hour ago? "() ()
"right!"
Huangfuke, who had been a veterinarian for half his life, also took the opportunity to give Huang San a hard pat. Normally, this formal old veterinarian would not dare to do this.
After the filming, Huangfu Ke said with a smile, "It only takes less than half a day to go back and forth from Wangjiacun. Hey, Lao Huang, when did you become so sentimental? Isn't this deceiving our brother's feelings? I can tell you, you If you don’t accompany me and Lao Niu for a good drink, you’re a sick beast and you don’t ask me to heal you!”
"Hahaha! Blame me, blame me for everything!"
Huang San laughed and pretended to be threatening, "If you don't take care of my cows and winter comes, don't blame me for not giving Xiao Huangfu candied haws. When the time comes, Xiao Huangfu will go to his mother to cry and complain that the baby won't be warmed by you." Bed, please don’t ask me for help.”
Huangfu Ke quickly nestled aside and stopped talking.
The laughter in the whole courtyard spread all the way to Wangnan Juwai and refused to disperse for a long time.
Liu Yi looked at everyone, his heart surged with excitement like a tide.
This is the meaning of the five counties of Pingtian, and this is the true meaning of hundreds of soldiers dying in a foreign land!
Before leaving for the dumplings meal on the way home, Erniu Niang, Huangfu Niang and Bei Youwan made four large drawers of beef stuffed dumplings for everyone. Everyone, young and old, gathered around a table and after a hearty meal, they gathered around Huang San A family of three gave away Wangnanju.
Wangjia Village was already close to Lingyuan City, so the villagers were not so sad and suffered from parting. After seeing Huang San off at the city gate, they dispersed. Only Liu Yi insisted on seeing Huang San off.
3. Arrive at Wangjia Village.
For more than half a year, I have been writing Qingtiyun, and I have almost no time to go out for a walk. I happened to take this opportunity to see what the people's lives are like after they get the land.
After all, whether it is good or bad, you have to decide in your own mind!
When Liu Yi said this, Li Erniu went back to Pingtian Military Camp to call for troops. Having learned the lesson from Jiang Xu's last assassination attack, Li Erniu did not dare to be careless about Liu Yi's safety.
Liu Yi shook his head, rubbed his black hair wantonly, and said with a smile, "Brother, today we are no longer what we used to be. We have tiger-repelling masters guarding us in the dark, so it's no big deal. Plus Jiang Jiazheng We are going all out to conquer Fanggu County, so how can we have the time to 'take care' of us little kids! Hahaha."
But Li Erniu didn't think so. He felt that he was "cautious in sailing the ship that lasts ten thousand years." At Li Erniu's insistence, Liu Yi still took along his "personal bodyguard" Qiao Miaoqing.
Country flowers, rural sentiments, a lean but strong middle-aged man with his wife and children, a stunning girl with a willow-like body and graceful grace, and a young man in coarse linen clothes with thick eyebrows and pretty eyes, walking carelessly on the country roads Up, tranquil and comfortable.
This feeling is indescribably pleasant.
"Hey, Xiao Yinglong, looking at you like this, don't you welcome me to come out with you?"
The summer wind blew in the little girl's beautiful face, and her pair of star-like eyes looked at Liu Yi. Looking down, Qiao Miaoqing's jade hands had become claws. As long as Liu Yi answered carelessly, Liu Yi will have to suffer some physical pain.
Ouch!
This can hardly harm Liu Yi. Regarding Qiao Miaoqing's character, Liu Yi couldn't understand it more thoroughly.
If you don't answer well when you ask yourself, the stars in the little girl's eyes will turn into stars falling down.
"No, no, no, no, I have seen you working hard for days, and I want you to have a good rest before setting off to Xuanhuai County! You are a general in our Pingtian Army, and we are indispensable for charging into battle! Such trivial matters, How dare I trouble you!"
Liu Yi grinned widely, and a row of white teeth appeared in front of the little girl without any warning, looking ruthlessly tight.
"That's more like it!" The little girl snorted slightly and strode forward, dressed in green clothes, swaying briskly in the wind. She was really like a fairy in the wind, as cool as an immortal.
For a moment, Liu Yi thought of his mother, who was known as the seventh most beautiful woman in the world!
Along the way, the fields were quiet and the peach breeze was blowing. The farm men rolled up their sleeves and sweated profusely in the fields. They were all in high spirits. Occasionally, some men would say hello to Liu Yi. That was the former Liu family. House soldiers, or soldiers from Hirata who had returned from conquering the land.
Accompanied by Huang San, Liu Yi squatted in the shade of a tree, looking at the thriving wheat and rice, and couldn't help but sigh, "Millet is the ability of a king, the great task of a leader, the way of human beings, and the way to govern a country. Your Majesty’s plan for Pingtian was taken from the heart, and in the end it benefited the people!”
"Haha! We don't understand what General Liu said." Huang San handed the water hyacinth in his hand to Liu Yi, "We only know that with land, we have roots in our hearts. Once we take root, we will have roots." We have a family." Liu Yi sighed, "Uncle Huang is right!"
During the conversation, in the field facing the two of them, two or three little yellowtails were running around chasing butterflies in the sky, with happy faces, carefree and very happy.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yi's half-hanging heart finally relaxed.
If the people are safe, my heart will be safe!
Tomorrow is spring and flowers are blooming everywhere!
