Chapter 323 Harvest and Human Cannibalism(1/2)
The sun rises, and the pieces of golden corn are studded with plump, pearl-like fruits, nodding and smiling at the hardworking people in the breeze.
A gust of wind blew, and the corns swayed here and there, like a toddler, and the leaves colliding with each other made a "rustle" sound.
With the expansion of land by slave farmers, the endless fields were filled with golden grain, even becoming the same color as the sky.
A large number of tenant farmers knelt down on the field ridges. Some old tenant farmers had few teeth left and were in tears. Seeing such a bumper harvest, they were speechless.
There were relatively few places in the past, so Yang Qian didn't pay much attention to it, but now even he was shocked. He couldn't help but think of a person in his previous life, and his nose couldn't help but feel sore.
When there is no shortage of food, no one cares about buying it in a grocery store or a supermarket, but there is no food.
Think of the numerous white bones on both sides of the official roads of Xia and Tang, and the white tooth marks on them, like hammers hitting Yang Gan's heart.
Yang Gan didn't pity them, Yang Gan was afraid that he would be killed and eaten at some point. With the heads as big as two fists, it was obvious that many of the people who were eaten were just underage children.
"A grain of grain can save a country, or it can stumble a country. The job must be firmly in the hands of your own people."
With this bumper harvest, the value of any tenant farmer who works a little harder will skyrocket, and there will be grain everywhere. In Zhuangzi, Lao Chen, as the first person under Yang Qian, also changed into solemn attire with his consent.
After offering the heads of the three animals, Lao Chen began to recite the sacrificial inscription, and something like a mourning stick kept dancing.
"The sky is panicked, and the sky is pitiful..."
Compared to the last time, Yang Qian seemed much more serious. What was recorded in history books was always just words, but when the bloody facts were presented in front of him, the sense of gap was extremely strong.
In the second year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (BC) - "People eat each other, and more than half of them die."
In the third year of the founding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (138 BC) - "Rivers overflowed the plains, there was a great famine, and people ate each other."
In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty of the Han Dynasty (48 BC) - "The Eleventh County of Guandong was flooded, hungry, or people could eat each other."
In the second year of Emperor Yongshi of the Han Dynasty (BC) - "Pingyuan County of Liang State...people eat each other."
In the first year of Wang Mang's Tianfeng reign (Era 14) - "There was a great famine, and people ate each other."
After reciting the memorial text, Lao Chen took a long breath and shouted with all his strength, "Everyone, harvest, harvest food~~~~!"
There are only a few words in the history books, but they are filled with the smell of blood that cannot be cured.
Everyone raised their hands and shouted!
Almost all the tenant farmers were pulling their oxen and running towards the farmland with a triangular machine behind them.
Wherever the triangular blades pass by, all the dealers fall down, and someone will naturally come from behind to put the grain into the cart. After it is full, they will go towards the water drain, shell it, and put it into the warehouse.
Yang Qian was infected by the enthusiasm. He couldn't help but put on ordinary clothes and walked towards the field while pulling a cattle.
"He, what is he going to do?" Zhao Wenmo exclaimed.
Zhang Yumeng glanced at him and said, "Collect food."
"He has a high status. Why should he do such a vulgar thing?"
Zhang Yumeng said angrily, "Zhao Wenmo, let me tell you, you are a princess in Shangguo, but in Yuntong, the king's edicts are not effective. No one can question or doubt what he wants to do."
Zhang Yumeng's attitude as a matron of the house represents everything.
The sharecroppers harvesting grain looked at a running cattle in surprise.
"Wow, the young master is in great shape. He can run faster than an ox."
"The young master is really talented when he is a sharecropper. One person can be faster than ten people."
"You can't run faster than an ox. You're dragging an ox behind you."
Everyone was dragging the ox, but Yang Qian was better. He was dragging the ox, and the ox couldn't run as fast as him.
At this time, a dusty figure rode by on horseback.
Come on, get off your horse panting, and look around.
"Zhang Xiaoniang, where is the Sheriff?"
Zhang Yumeng was stunned, looked at the man in front of him, and asked uncertainly, "Are you that Qianli Xue?"
The corner of the man's mouth twitched fiercely, "It's raining Baili Shuang."
"Pfft~~~!"
"Hahahahaha~!"
Zhang Yumeng was also happy, "Please, you are just a passerby, you have been gone for a month."
Baili Shuang said angrily, "Where is the Sheriff?"
Zhang Yumeng pointed toward the field and said, "Hey, that's the one dragging the cow."
"Damn it, you are so powerful, you are dragging a cow away." Baili Shuang's eyes widened.
After a while, Yang Gan came over panting. When he saw Baili Shuang, Yang Gan was immediately happy. He looked around and his face became gloomy.
"Where is that master you are talking about? I gave you weapons, money, and good food and drinks, but he didn't come to me. Should you give me an explanation?"
Seeing Yang Gan's expression, Baili Shuang hurriedly said, "He was in Liao State before. Who would have thought that he had come to Xia State? After many investigations, I found out that he is now settled in Luo'an County, Dongde County." .”
"A master is in the same county?" Yang Qian was confused and confused. People with good skills can live as hangers-on wherever they want. If they are as powerful as Baili Shuang said, they must live in a county. Why else would they live there? county seat.
"How about I go and invite him here."
Yang Gan thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll go with you to relax. I'll invite you in person, which seems more sincere."
There is no problem here in Yuntong County. It shouldn't have any impact if I go out on my own.
Yang Gan touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "Baili Shuang, are you feeling well? If possible, take a day off and we will go to Luo'an County."
"Sir, are you really going to invite me in person?"
"I am still very sincere. You are good at martial arts, but you can't survive a few moves in his hands. I think you are very powerful."
"Okay, actually, I'm not afraid to tell the adults that I haven't even slept yet."
Yang Gan was startled and immediately put his arms around his shoulders and walked towards the mansion enthusiastically, "Let's go, let's take you to have a big meal and go to bed immediately. You are really not afraid of sudden death."
"sudden death?"
"I just burped all of a sudden without any warning."
Baili Shuang showed a look of panic, "Sir, please don't lie to me."
"Can you make money if I lie to you? Are you stupid? Go to bed quickly~~~!"
After listening to some of Yang Gan's words, Baili Shuang finished her meal without even taking a shower. She immediately got into bed and fell asleep. She was not married and had no heirs. If she died now, wouldn't she feel sorry for the Baili family? The ancestors of the ancestors.
Inside the room.
Zhang Yumeng wondered, "Aren't you going to take us with you?"
"It's necessary. I'm going alone this time, just to relax. Doesn't distance create beauty?"
Zhang Yumeng said depressedly, "It's fine at close range."
"Close distance can only produce acne and strawberry nose."
"Fuck~~!"
"Yang Gan, can't we go too?" Krisna wondered.
"Well, you just stay here this time. I can do it alone. There is no danger in the neighboring county." qs
"How long will it take to come back? Nowadays, there is no WeChat, there is no signal on the mobile phone, and I can't contact anyone I want to contact."
Yang Qian thought about it and asked, "Yu'er, do we have any industry in Luo'an County?"
"It has not covered the county seat yet, but there are industries and many shops in Dongde County."
Yang Gan nodded and said to Zhang Yumeng, "If you want to contact me, you can find someone from our industry in Dongde County. And how many people are there in one county? By the way, if you want to come, you must bring soldiers."
"You guys are too cautious."
"Be careful to sail the thousand-year-old ship, otherwise I will be dead~~~!"
Zhang Yu
Meng was a little reluctant and said, "Okay, go outside and be careful."
"Yang Qian, do you plan to go in low-key or high-profile?" Mu Qing asked.
"Of course I keep a low profile. The governor of Dongde County is a well-connected person, so be careful and you won't make any big mistakes." Yang Qian said naturally.
Mu Qingqi asked, "Then what mount are you going to use? If it's a rhinoceros, it's too high-profile."
"Didn't you buy a few BMWs?"
Mu Qing suddenly broke out in sweat, "Yang Qian, if you ride that horse, you might become the most handsome boy in the entire county."
"You'd better ride an ordinary horse."
Yang Gan shook his head and said, "How can that be done? Ordinary war horses cannot carry my weapons and armor at all. They will be crushed before they reach Dongde County."
Zhang Yumeng smiled and said, "As for you, you still plan to go fully armed?"
Yang Gan crossed his arms and said proudly, "As long as I wear armor, no one can kill me in the city. Even with a heavy crossbow, I can escape. If I don't have armor, if someone ambushes me and I haven't practiced the Golden Bell, He will definitely die properly."
"This won't work, that won't work. You might as well ride a bull. It's powerful and low-key. There are a lot of bull riders these days." Zhang Yumeng joked. There are quite a few bull riders in Yuntong City.
