Chapter 259 260 Catch up

   Uncle Gu and the villagers who followed him widened their eyes and pointed at the hills excitedly: "Madam, if it is really possible, let's open all these dozens of hills, are we still worried about no food?"

   "Yes, as long as you work hard for a year and open up the land, you don't have to pay taxes for the first few years of the wasteland, and everyone will have unfinished food in the future."

   A villager asked, "Where does the water come from to grow rice and wheat?"

  Li Yu said with a smile: "Dig a reservoir at the top of the hill, go to the hill to chop some thick bamboo, open up the bamboo knots, and then just take it over. It's better to use tung oil to coat the bamboo pipe again, it will be more durable."

   Everyone understood immediately after hearing it, and they all gave Li Yu a thumbs up: "Madam, your brain is so good, are we guarding Baoshan and hungry?"

   "Remember, you have to dig along the terrain and lay a good barrier..." Li Yu smiled and told them the method and experience of Kai Hu's terraced fields.

   They also went to the forest to dig fallen leaves for fertilizer, and told them how to compost them. They also taught them to use rotten vegetable leaves to raise ground dragons, and to dry and grind them to feed chickens.

  The villagers seemed to have opened up a new world, and all of them heard Jingjing’s taste. Everyone excitedly picked up their hoes and started to work.

Li Yu stayed in the mountains for a day and watched them build terraced fields. After lunch the next day, he was ready to go down the mountain and go home. The villagers took the mountain goods they saved and insisted on giving them to Li Yu. Mushrooms and fungus, thinking that this is a good thing to bring to Kyoto, smiled and said to them: "Everyone can pick up more and dry them, and I will collect them when the time comes."

   "That's good! Thanks auspicious brother."

When Li Yulin left, he said to them: "After your land is opened, let someone come to Yunzhou Prefecture to do the land deed, and I will let someone say hello, no one will embarrass you, you try to open as much as possible, and I will give it to you. You provide new high-yielding rice seeds, and people will teach you to soak them."

   Uncle Gu said worriedly: "Madam, we know your kindness, but we don't have the money to buy new rice seeds, and we have always used the ones we left behind, and the yield has never been good."

  Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it! I'll greet them and ask them to give you the rice seeds on credit first, and when you've hit the millet, return them with the same price of millet."

  The villagers felt as if they had been hit by a pie from the sky, and excitedly said to Gu Yu, "Gu Yu, what is your wife doing? Could it be that God sent us to help us?"

  Gu Yu remembered Li Yu's instructions, hehe smiled: "My wife is a good person, you will know later!"

   Everyone felt that they saw hope again, and reluctantly sent Li Yu and the others to the woods on the mountain, and then stopped.

When they went back, Li Yu took Gu Yu and rode a horse, and Jixiang rode the horse to lead the way. At the beginning of Youshi, Jixiang said to Li Yu loudly, "Madam, let's hurry up, and we can catch up before the city gate closes. Return to Yunzhou."

   Li Yu replied: "Okay, then go straight to the inn, put on the carriage and go."

   "Drive" Seeing that there are few people in the town, Jixiang and Li Yu drove their horses to the inn at the head of the town.

   The shopkeeper of the inn saw Li Yu and the others coming back, and winked at the man, who ran outside.

   Jixiang entered the inn and said to the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper, give the horse some fodder, we have to hurry."

   "Okay." The shopkeeper instructed the man to add fodder to the horse, Jixiang settled the bill, carried the salute to the barn in the backyard of the inn, and loaded the salute into the carriage.

   After a while, the young man took the horse and handed it to Jixiang, and helped to put the car on together. A few people got into the car, and Jixiang drove the carriage towards the outside of the inn.

   As soon as he walked out of the inn, Zhong Bao and a few people with a sledgehammer stopped in front of the carriage, and shouted aggressively: "The people in the carriage get down for you, how dare you smash your place in Xingfu Town."

   Pedestrians on the street hurriedly hid in the grocery store and whispered, "Alas! These foreigners are going to suffer again."

The shopkeeper    shook his head and said, "Hey! It's a good town, not far from Fucheng, so why is no one in charge?" Everyone sighed in unison: "That's right! Why is no one in charge?"

   Jixiang pointed at a few people with a horse whip and said, "Get out of the way! Offend my wife, don't blame me for being rude."

"Yo! Lord, see how rude you are." Zhong Bao looked at Jixiang with a hilarious smile, and said to Sledgehammer, "Go and drag me down the people in the car." Sledgehammer and the other two ruffians turned towards the car. After rushing over, Jixiang swung the horsewhip to hit the sledgehammer, only to hear a "pop", and the sledgehammer was slapped with blood from the forehead to the chin. Being kicked and flying by Jixiang, he fell to the ground with two 'bang, bang' noises, raising the dust all over the place.

   Jixiang pointed at a few people and said, "If you dare to come forward again, you are welcome."

   Li Yu said to Jixiang: "Jiangxiang, don't talk to him, a small town mayor dares to condone relatives and relatives running rampant in the village, and take them all back to the government office."

"Everyone, come on, kill this ignorant thing." Seeing that several people were suffering, Zhong Bao shouted loudly, pulled out a dagger and rushed towards Jixiang with Brother Cai, Jixiang jumped up from the carriage and flew with a kick. Kicked towards the two of them, Zhong Bao dodged and avoided, but Brother Cai couldn't dodge in time, and was kicked and flew out, lying on the ground motionless.

   "Sledgehammer, hurry back and call someone." Zhong Bao shouted loudly, Sledgehammer covered his face and turned around and ran.

   Zhongbao stabbed Jixiang with a knife, Jixiang turned up to avoid, the blade of the dagger pierced Jixiang's thin jacket, Zhongbao swung the dagger like a shadow, and Jixiang kicked the dagger in his hand with a roundabout.

   "Brother Leopard, I'll help you." A ruffian got up from the ground and stabbed Jixiang's back with a dagger.

   "Brother Jixiang be careful." Gu Yu exclaimed when he saw it, and the people in the shop opposite were so frightened that they covered their eyes with five fingers.

A thin-blade dagger slipped out of Jixiang's sleeve, and in the blink of an eye, the thin blade stabbed the ruffian's palm and kicked him to the ground. Zhong Bao got up and wanted to run, but was stopped by Jixiang's vertical steps and fell to the ground. .

  Gu Yu brought ropes from the car, helped Jixiang to tie up a few people, and carried them to the car. Jixiang said to Li Yu, "Madam, what if one runs away?"

"Ignore him, let's go." Li Yu lifted the curtain and said coldly to the inn shopkeeper who was shivering by the side: "The shopkeeper, since you know how to tip off the news, go and tell the Zhencheng of Xingfu Town, these few The robber, Mrs. Ben, has brought it back to Yunzhou Mansion."

The innkeeper heard Li Yu claiming to be his wife, and asked him to notify Zhencheng to go to the government office. Knowing that he could not afford to commit the crime, he stumbled over to Li Yu, knelt down and kowtowed, "Madam, why don't I tell him that you have returned to the inn. , my inn can't go on, I still have a family in this town, please forgive me!" The shopkeeper kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
