Next to the shabby wooden door, there was a wooden stick poked, and the only pair of pants was hung on it. You can only wear it when you go out.

It was said that it was pants, but in fact it was just sewn together with broken hemp slices. The quilt on the kang was even more miserable, and it was pitch black and there was no color. The holes of all sizes revealed what was inside.

Wu Kaijie crushed it in his hands curiously and said in disbelief: "Dude, this is a reed flower, doesn't even have cotton!"

Lao Sun, who was embarrassed and embarrassed, said ashamed: "Master, there was a quilt a few years ago, but it was stolen by the soldiers. We dare not use it in the future and we can't afford it. Reeds, bark, straw, if you can't die of freezing!"

“Is this the case in the village?”

"Yeah!" Lao Sun nodded: "Some people are worried about being robbed, and they still smeared feces on the quilt, so those bandits of soldiers and bandits will not take them away."

Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but sigh. He suddenly saw a broken tank in the corner of the wall. When Gu Zhenhua's eyes were locked, Lao Sun hurriedly blocked in front.

"Master, there is nothing good to watch, so don't watch it, really don't watch it!"

Gu Zhenhua deliberately said with a face-breaking face: "My fellow villager, I'm here to help you solve the problem. If I don't let me see, do you still want to eat and wear warmth?"

"Where, how dare you think!" Lao Sun lowered his head.

When Gu Zhenhua lifted the lid and looked at it, a sour smell suddenly emanated. When he looked inside, there was a small layer of black and gray at the bottom.

"Is this what to eat?"

"Um."

Chen Qianfu also reached the edge of the tank. He grabbed a little with his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, frowned. He looked at it and then looked.

"What is this? I'm afraid even horses won't eat it."

"Master, horses are so precious things. People are not as good as dogs. This is corn bran, mixed with acorns and sawdust. When I was carrying the bag for the landlord, I got some moldy food. I just mixed it together. Let's save my life! Farmers are like weeds in the field. The more humble they are, the more they have to live. What else can they do!"

Listening to Lao Sun's words, Gu Zhenhua felt particularly sad. He would rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person! It is too hard for the people to live!

"Old Sun, this little thing is probably not enough to eat. Have you ever thought about what to do next?"

"What, what should I do?" Lao Sun suddenly became confused, and a trace of tears flashed in his dull eyes.

"What else can you do? If you can't afford to raise your daughter, just sell it. Then the couple will go to flee. Just die wherever you die!"

Gu Zhenhua shook his head and said nothing. He lowered his head and walked out of Lao Sun's house, took Chen Qianfu and Wu Kaijie to look at several more houses in succession. After a circle, he found that Lao Sun's house was the best situation. Some of the other families were cut by bandits, some were bedridden, and some men died.

The houses I live in are all full of sores, as if a gust of wind can be blown away.

After a walk around, Gu Zhenhua had to go back to the entrance of the village and found a big locust tree. Everyone sat down. It was already late, so Gu Zhenhua simply said: "I won't leave today, so I will set up a tent here. Lord Chen and I will discuss it carefully. We must come up with a plan to help the people!"

The soldiers were all busy. At this time, Lao Sun and a few people ran over from the village, holding a can of water in their hands, and came to Gu Zhenhua and the others.

"Master, there is really nothing left. This is mountain spring water, cool and sweet. You can try it!"

The others were all teenagers, thin, black and thin, and very short, with frostbite on their hands and feet. Looking at An**'s soldiers, they were all timid and couldn't help but hide behind Lao Sun.

"They are all a bunch of things that have not grown up. Haven't you seen them? These masters are different from those of the past. They don't snatch them once they don't snatch them. When they come to us, you are the masters. If you don't treat them well, are you still a little polite?"

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand: "Don't scold them anymore. I'll treat everyone to dinner today, let's have a meal together."

"How can this be done? You are a guest!" Lao Sun looked ashamed: "Master, I, we really have nothing left."

"Hahaha, as long as people are still alive, there is hope. Sooner or later, you will have everything."

"Are you saying true?"

Gu Zhenhua nodded with a smile: "I treat everyone to dinner, so I want to discuss a solution together. Otherwise, if you don't accept the green and yellow, it's really hard to say whether you can survive!"

Just as they were talking, the soldier had already set up a large pot, poured in the sweet spring water, and then added a few pieces of whale oil to the pot. After the water boiled, the fatty oil rolled up and down.

An**'s soldiers hated these whale oils deeply. The fishy smell made people feel disgusted. However, after Lao Sun and the others saw it, they all widened their eyes and held their breath.

The soldiers added peppercorn ingredients to the pot, especially some dried peppers. An unexpected fragrance suddenly floated out, passing through the nostrils, stimulating the brain nerves!

Gudu!

Lao Sun couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The others had already salivated, and their eyes were all staring at the pot.

"Everyone go and call everyone in the family here. Please eat as much as you want!" Gu Zhenhua said with a smile.

As soon as he heard this, these boys ran away, faster than rabbits.

Looking at their backs, Gu Zhenhua sighed.

"Mr. Chen, what should you do in Shaanxi?"

Chen Qianfu frowned and couldn't help but say, "Dude, if you want to recover your vitality, you won't be able to do it in three to five years!"

Wu Kaijie frowned even more, with a worried face, "Dude, if you want to say that there are still one or two million people in Shaanxi, it is no problem to raise tens of thousands of soldiers. But depending on the conditions of the people, there is no chance. With their physical condition, even if the people in this village gather, they may not be able to kill a Tartar. This person cannot eat meat or meat. When he arrives in front of the formation, he will be a gift for death!"

Gu Zhenhua also agreed with this. The battle between the army is largely a competition of nutritional levels. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are much weaker than those of the Tartars. The important reason is that they can eat meat, and neither of them can eat enough food!

Chen Qianfu thought for a while and said, "Mr., according to my original idea, I want to restore the people's livelihood in Shaanxi and build a farm. When there is a season of harvest, the people will survive. But now it seems that it is not possible. Within at least one or two years, Shaanxi may not even be self-sufficient, let alone support the war. Now that we have won Shaanxi, we are actually carrying a big burden!"

Wu Kaijie's face was even more visible than bitter gourd, and he couldn't help but say, "Dude, why don't we give up Shaanxi and focus on managing Henan."

"If you have difficulties, you have to find a way to solve them, not to avoid them. If we leave, the people of Shaanxi will really have to ask for more blessings!"

At this time, the people in the village had already helped the elderly and young, and all smelled the fragrance and rushed over. A total of forty or fifty people came. Some people had no clothes to wear and could only wrap themselves in quilts and rushed over.

At this time, the soldiers poured them a bowl of fat soup one by one, and then distributed the dry food they brought to everyone.

Seeing the oily and hot soup in the bowl, some people poured it into their stomachs, but they rolled their eyes so hot that they could not bear to spit it out, so they swallowed it desperately. Their faces were flushed and their eyes were full of happiness.

The black hand took the white flour steamed buns and scallion pancakes, and some people simply burst into tears. I haven’t seen the white flour for many days!

With tears in my mouth, I delivered it to my stomach in two mouthfuls, drank a bowl of hot soup, and finally recovered my energy.

"Hey, even if I kill me at this time, I will be straight!"

The adults kept sighing that the half-aged children were still staring at the pot. At their age, they were not enough oil and water. Unable to bear the eager gaze, the soldiers could only take out the wooden barrels and use whale oil to make soup.

At this time, Gu Zhenhua called Lao Sun aside and said with a smile: "I have an idea that can solve everyone's problems. I wonder if you want it or not!"

"Master, as long as we can keep alive, even if we go up and down the mountain of swords, we can do it!" Lao Sun lay on the ground and kowtowed.

"Master, I know you are a good official, so I will give you a way out. Please!"

Not only Lao Sun, but the others also kowtowed with tears when they heard this.

Gu Zhenhua nodded and said, "I dare not say that I love the people as much as my son, but I don't want to see everyone starve to death. There are only two plans for the present. The first is to give up my home temporarily and go to Henan and other places. At present, there are not much land left in Henan, but there are many workshops and mines that require manpower. Working is hard, and maybe life is still in danger, but one thing can be guaranteed, that is, you can eat enough!"

"It's done, you can eat enough!" Lao Sun nodded like pounding garlic: "Master, you're half dead, it's no longer interesting. If you can eat a few full meals, you will recognize me even if you cut me."

Gu Zhenhua nodded: "The second way is to attack the powerful people from all over the world. They have hoarded a lot of food. You can stand with An**, wipe out these powerful people, and grab the food."

"Ah?" Lao Sun said in surprise: "Those men are not, they are not with you, how can they steal them?"

Wu Kaijie said bluntly: "We are the soldiers of the people. Can we be the same as those guys who knock on bones and marrows?"

Lao Sun shrank his neck so much that he gritted his teeth for a while and said, "I can't live anyway, so I'll just listen to the master."

Chen Qianfu grabbed Gu Zhenhua from the side and couldn't help but say, "Dude, whether it's a relocation personnel or an organization to attack the powerful, we must solve the problem of food first. Where can we find so much food!"

Gu Zhenhua laughed and pointed at the side of the street, "Mr. Chen, why did you forget that the south of Shaanxi is the country of Tianfu. Are you still worried about not having food?"

"Dude, are you going to hit Zhang Xianzhong?" Chen Qianfu asked in surprise.

"It's not about fighting, but about doing business, using our things to exchange for food with Zhang Xianzhong!" (To be continued...)
