The first favorite of rebirth

When the soldier heard Jue Yun's promise, he immediately led the herdsman into the courtyard gate. Immediately there was a rattling sound from the broken wooden door. Pei Jiqing hurriedly climbed out of the bathtub and put on a padded jacket , loosely rolled up the wet long hair.

Jueyun helped him to dry his hair, and stretched out his hand to fasten his belt. The two of them worked for a while, and the soldiers brought the herdsmen to knock on the door and came in. Pei Jiqing wiped the ground with a mop, and said, "You come late at night, We are not very prepared, let you suffer, please accompany our adults."

Pei Jiqing said a few polite words before realizing that the herdsman might not understand Chinese at all, so she pushed Jue Yun and said, "Lord Lang, please translate."

"No, I can understand."

The herdsman didn't sit down, but stood very politely. He spoke with a barbarian's accent. He was about sixty years old, wearing a coarse cotton coat, with all his gray hair tied on top of his head, and his skin was dark and rough. Spirit.

Looking at his hairstyle and clothing, Pei Jiqing vaguely felt that this should not be a barbarian, so she was a little vigilant and said: "Then I don't know if the old man came late at night, there is something important."

"Dading City was brought down, and the Lord didn't use force to deal with us ordinary people, but even gave us money to return home. I can see all of this." The herdsman thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Although I live in the Liao Kingdom But he is also a Han Chinese, I think you are young and kind-hearted, so you will not be surprised if you come to visit him specially."

Although the herdsman is tall and rough, he speaks in a polite manner, and he really looks like an ordinary Central Plains person. Pei Jiqing also relaxed his vigilance, Jue Yun poured a cup of hot water for the herdsman, and said with a polite smile: "Old man, are you Did you come to teach me how to reclaim wasteland?"

"Are you always thinking about reclaiming wasteland?" The herdsman shook his head and said, "My lord, I'm here to tell you that this land can't be planted."

Jue Yun's smile froze in an instant, and suddenly felt dazed, Pei Jiqing hurriedly said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Yes." Jue Yun explained sincerely: "We planted food, definitely not for the purpose of fighting again, I see that there are almost no shops here, so I want to take everyone to plant something, and when there is a harvest, we will definitely share it. For everyone."

Jue Yun's voice no longer had the babyish voice of eight years old, but when he became anxious, his voice was still very crisp.

"It is because of the kindness of adults that I came here." The herdsman took a sip of tea and sighed: "Your Excellency does not know that the land on the grassland is thin, and once it is reclaimed, the surface soil will be blown away by the wind quickly." , You can’t grow food at all. Cultivating wasteland will only lead to more and more wasteland. The pasture here is not so luxuriant, and we have nowhere to go to herd sheep. Of course, we must prevent you from weeding and planting things.”

Jueyun was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, Pei Jiqing also sat down, and said: "Old man, Jinzhou is not far from here, I think Jinzhou has grown a lot of things, can it be that after half a day's journey, the land can be so different ?”

"Of course, you live in the Central Plains, so of course you don't know the soil quality of the grassland." The herdsman rolled his eyes and said, "Could it be that I made a trip in the middle of the night, or did I make a special trip to lie to you?"

Jue Yun glanced at Pei Jiqing, Pei Jiqing smiled coyly, and suddenly realized that he was not careful, so he said: "I don't know much, don't take it for granted."

"Anyway, land reclamation is out of the question." The herdsman got up and said, "If my lord wants to reclaim wasteland, the herdsmen will still stop it, and when the time comes to fight again, it will be difficult."

"Herders?" Jue Yun frowned and said, "You took my money, why don't you go out of the city to find the Liao Kingdom?"

"The Liao Kingdom is also at war, so it doesn't matter where you go. What's more, everyone is used to living here, and no one wants to leave." The herdsman pushed the door open and turned around and added, "However, there is no reason not to take your money when you spread it..."

"..."

As soon as the herdsman left, the polite smile on Jue Yun's face also disappeared, and his expression suddenly became angry and frustrated. Looking at the swollen little face, Pei Jiqing felt that the boy had turned into a child again overnight, and the corners of his eyes and brows were twitching. With a smile that couldn't be concealed.

"What are you laughing at?" Jue Yun turned his head and said, "I... was deceived by them, but you also said the wrong thing just now."

"Yes, I have no knowledge." Pei Jiqing suppressed a smile and said, "What, is the little master going to punish me hahaha..."

Pei Jiqing still couldn't help laughing out loud, Jue Yun turned his back and ignored him, turned around and nestled on the bed, only showing two eyes, Pei Jiqing walked over to pat the bulge, and said: "Okay , Don't be angry, go to sleep quickly."

How could Jue Yun lose his temper so quickly? He was so young. This new official took office three times. He was blocked by others the first time. The land could not be planted, and the money was gone. Lost his wife and lost his army.

"It's so late, if you don't sleep, you will be the one who will stay in bed tomorrow." Pei Jiqing said: "The road has to be walked a little bit, no one can become fat..."

Jue Yun turned around and said, "Really?"

"Tomorrow you will teach me how to ride a horse, go to bed quickly." Pei Jiqing lay down next to him, and said, "You have grown up, and the bed is getting smaller, how about I tidy up that messy warehouse and sleep there from now on?" Go, you'll feel better."

"Absolutely not!"

After Jue Yun finished speaking, he immediately entangled him like an octopus.

On the second day, Pei Jiqing really got up very early, and she deliberately changed into a short jacket with narrow sleeves, and tied her belt tighter.His long hair was tied high, and it was fixed in a bun with a dark red headband, and a section of it fell down and swept around his neck, making his face even whiter.

Jue Yun looked at the hairband, smiled with a lump in his mouth, "Uncle Pei, you are really a beauty."

"Rong... I'm just a good-looking son, when you grow up..." Pei Jiqing straightened his collar, suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he turned around and said, "Don't you learn such nonsense from Xiao Wansheng, do you hear me? Be careful I beat you."

Jue Yun lowered his head and snickered, and didn't make any further excuses. After breakfast, the two of them hurried to the pasture, where the soldiers were still running horses for training, and the herdsmen stood in the distance with a large flock of sheep, staring at each other, as if they were ready to charge at any time. come over.

Jueyun ordered the soldiers not to reclaim the land, and not to clash with the herdsmen. After training, the soldiers had nothing to do, so they each found a place to rest.Jue Yun pulled out a mild-tempered bay red horse for Pei Jiqing, flattened his lips and said: "Look, my side is disbanded, and the sheep army is still here."

"In the future, you will also raise a group, and you will be a shepherd dog." Pei Jiqing smiled and pulled the reins, and jumped on the horse like Jue Yun, but stepped on the ground, and immediately sat down on the grass.

Jue Yun wanted to refute him, but instantly smiled and said: "Look, God can't stand it anymore."

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the stirrup and stepped on the horse's back, stretched out his hand to Pei Jiqing, and said, "Come up, Master Lang will take you again."

Pei Jiqing also stretched out his hand, and was suddenly held in it by a warm and strong hand. Jue Yun supported his shoulder, turned around for some reason, and sat behind Pei Jiqing. Grabbing his waist, he stuffed the rein into Pei Jiqing's hand.

Jue Yun moved quickly, and Pei Jiqing couldn't react. He turned his head so that his cheek just touched the top of Jue Yun's furry head, and said, "Can you see the road if you sit behind me?"

"Of course, how tall do you think you are?" Jue Yun clenched his hand, stretched out his legs and kicked Pei Jiqing's feet, motioning him to step into the pedals, "I can teach you by sitting in the back, now you come Take me to try."

Pei Jiqing put his feet in the stirrup, and Jue Yun pressed himself on top of him, adjusted his body forward, and said, "Use your legs to clamp the horse, and it will be ready to go. Try it."

Pei Jiqing bent down, moved his legs cautiously, the horse took a few steps, then stopped slowly, Jue Yun looked at him with a frown, and kicked Pei Jiqing's leg, the bay red horse suddenly received force, Looking at the wide pasture in the distance and galloping so fast, Pei Jiqing's hands felt cold from fright, he held Jueyun's hand tightly, and said, "Little Yunzi, let him slow down!"

"Is this fast? This is the speed for riding a horse." Jue Yun smiled slyly, holding the rein tightly in his hand, "This horse is called Taohua, and it runs very steadily. Don't be afraid."

Although he said so, he secretly exerted force on his hands. Pei Jiqing saw him doing tricks, and quickly said: "I tell you, I have seen it all. You are deliberately taking revenge on me. Make it stop."

"What's the use of seeing it!" Jue Yun said rascally, "If you don't know how to control, you can only be led away by me. Who taught you that you can't."

Pei Jiqing's forehead was sweating, and his face became flushed, Jue Yun slowly slowed down the horse, and said: "You bark nicely, so I will stop."

"Lord Lang, Your Highness." Pei Jiqing called out twice without any resistance, and then said, "That's enough."

"No." Jue Yun deliberately said: "The two calls you made have been called by others. I am Mr. Lang, so what's the point?"

Pei Jiqing thought for a while, and said softly, "Baby Yun, is this okay?"

He turned his face away and saw that Jue Yun's face was instantly flushed with a layer of blush, and the horse also stopped slowly. Jue Yun jumped off the horse in silence, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

Pei Jiqing also came down, proudly said: "I'm sorry, Jiang is still old and hot, and you are too thin-skinned."

Jue Yun didn't speak, and took the horse for a few more steps. Before they knew it, they had already run a long distance. Today's weather is very clear, the blue sky is as clear as washing, and the clouds are like snow-white cotton wool in the blue sky. The green grass in front of the two of them Like a cloud, the distance is connected with the endless sky, as if the sky is high and the earth is far away, which makes people's minds open.

"It's nice here."

Pei Jiqing approached Jue Yun, and found that he seemed to have grown a bit taller, but she remained unchanged, as if she could no longer easily hold him in her arms.

Pei Jiqing pointed to the flock of sheep in the distance, and said: "September has passed, and you are one year older. The mutton here is much better than Jinzhou. I will pay for some mutton and make hot pot for you."

"You always remember my birthday, what about yours?" Jue Yun turned around and said, "Although I have no money, I can treat you to a bowl of longevity noodles."

"I……"

Pei Jiqing was stunned for a moment. Although he knew Rong Ting very well, he really didn't know Rong Luan's birthday. Rong Ting was upright and upright. He was usually very poor. Naturally, his son would not put on any ostentation when celebrating his birthday. Thinking about it like this, It seems that Rong's residence invited a church meeting in mid-April, which probably was Rong Luan's birthday.

So Pei Jiqing said: "On April [-]th, don't worry, you will have a salary at that time, treat me to something good."

There was another sound of "baa-baa", and a large herd of sheep was walking towards them. Jue Yun got on his horse and said, "Why are they herding sheep everywhere? We have traveled so far, but the sheep still follow and want to be with you. It won't work to stay quiet for a while."

"Then let's go further." Pei Jiqing also got on the horse, quickly grabbed the rein and held it in his hand, "I heard that sheep eat grass very badly, they are all attached to the roots, and eat a piece of baldness. To drive the sheep here, the original pasture must have been desolate, so they had to go far away, and now that there is no war, everyone can naturally go far away with peace of mind."

"So that's how it is..." Jue Yun nodded thoughtfully, and rode his horse around the way he came from. The two of them looked at each other as they walked. Sure enough, someone was driving a flock of sheep to a long distance. Carrying dry food in the tent, it seems that it will take a long time to come back.

And not far from Dingzhou City, the pastures have become sparse and look very barren, not to mention the sheep grazing on them.

"The herdsman is right. It's true that you can't farm the land." Jue Yun said thoughtfully: "I'll go and explain it to General Xia, and ask him to send grain and grass from Jinzhou for support."

"If you don't grow food, you should be able to grow other things." Pei Jiqing pondered for a moment, then said: "The reason why herdsmen go far away is because there is no pasture. How about we grow grass on wasteland? We don't need to reclaim the land to grow grass, and we don't need to grow grass." Keeping an eye on it all the time can also benefit everyone, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds.”

Jue Yun was surprised and said: "What you said makes a lot of sense."

Pei Jiqing smiled and said: "Then you should call me nice too, stop calling uncle, I'm already older than you."

Jue Yun thought for a while, then said softly: "Ai Qing..."

Pei Jiqing suddenly heard this call, and many old things flooded into his mind at once, and countless scenes flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Jue Yun shook him and said, "Why, isn't it good?"

In the previous life, the power was all over the world, and in this life, it was peaceful and warm. After being reborn, it took a lot of hard work, but it was worth it.

So Pei Jiqing spoke slowly, and said with a smile, "It's really nice."
