Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 17 Such a Big Thing!

The child seemed to have no reaction to the pain. His eyes were always fixed on the pile of meat on the iron plate.

The corner of his mouth was still drooling, and he looked a little stupid, but there was no dull light in his eyes.

"Who are you? What's your name? Why did you show up at my house?"

At this time, the boy came back to his senses and looked at Luo Bin in front of him.

"I'm a dog egg, my parents are dead, I'm so hungry, smell the fragrance!"

The child didn't look very old, and he spoke intermittently, but it could be heard that he was a poor person.

"How did you get in?"

The child pointed to the dog hole, and Luo Bin understood.

Maybe it was because I was too hungry and smelled the scent in the yard, so I ran in through the dog hole, looking for something to eat.

Put the child in the hands of the servants, and told them to give the child some scalding medicine, then take some food, take him to take a bath after eating and drinking, and let him have a good sleep.

The child looked at the meat on the plate and refused to leave, and had no choice. Luo Bin gave her another plate of meat, and then followed the servant down.

This was just a small episode at the banquet. Everyone was quickly replaced by the delicious food and forgot about the boy.

After eating and drinking enough, Li Shimin is still unsatisfied. He drank a lot of wine today, and now he feels a little light.

"Luo Bin, walk back to the palace with me in a while, let's walk around together and enjoy the beauty of Chang'an!"

I didn't want to refuse at first, but seeing Li Shimin's interest in it, I was embarrassed to refute his interest.

"Your Majesty, can you go?"

Li Shimin waved his hand. Wasn't he looking down on himself? He had just had a few drinks and now he no longer had the energy to walk?
Luo Bin laughed, tidied up his things roughly, and followed Li Shimin to the palace.

Along the way, Chang'an Avenue was very lively, everyone was dressed appropriately, and all the children were playing happily on the street.

All the women are dressed in silk and satin, gold hairpins and jade bracelets, and they are very luxuriously dressed.

"Luo Bin, look at my Chang'an! It is so prosperous, which makes me feel a little relieved!"

Luo Bin nodded. If you say that Chang'an City is indeed bustling and lively, you have to admit it.

Suddenly someone attacked from behind, and they stabbed at Li Shimin with the knife.

"Who is so bold."

Fortunately, Luo Bin reacted quickly, blocked Li Shimin with his body, and had already held the assassin's hand with his hand.

Li Shimin's body shrank slightly, and he was sober from the wine.

Fortunately, the emperor is fine, if something happens to the emperor.

At that time, even if I have ten heads and fifty mouths, I'm afraid I can't tell.

The assassin saw that the situation was not good, so he dropped the knife and ran away.

"Follow him and don't let him get away."

Luo Bin got the dragon soul physique, and he ran faster than ordinary people, and soon caught up with those men.

Li Shimin followed closely behind.

Seeing that he was cornered, the assassin suddenly knelt down.

"I'm also at a loss. Seeing you dressed in rich and noble clothes, I have evil intentions."

After the assassin finished speaking, he wept bitterly.

Regardless of their reasons, Luo Bin could only admit that he was unlucky. He was assassinated and wanted to run away as a pilgrim, but it was impossible.

"Our children are starving to death."

I don't know when Luo Bin and Li Shimin stood behind a group of ragged, skinny and skinny people.

There are more than one white number.

Just now he and Li Shimin had just finished praising Chang'an City, which is a bustling scene, how could there be children who are about to starve to death now.

"Are you from Chang'an City?"

The man smiled wryly, if he lived in Chang'an City, would he run out in broad daylight to rob houses?

"We are villagers from another county. There was an earthquake in the county, and all the houses collapsed and all the rice fields were damaged. We couldn't survive, so we came here after fleeing famine!"

In fact, the man is not a bad person, he just wants to hijack a rich family, so that he can exchange some buns for the children.

It doesn't matter if I starve to death, but those children are starved to death, it's really distressing to see.

In the past two days, two children were also lost. One was found drowned by the river, but the other has never been found.

Thinking of this, the man let out a long sigh.

"How long has it been since you had food?"

Li Shimin looked at them with distressed eyes.

The common people are struggling to make ends meet, and as the ruler of a dynasty, they don't even know about it.

He is really dereliction of duty as the emperor.

"It's been a few days, give us something to eat, we haven't eaten rice for a long time, it doesn't matter if we adults are hungry, but the child is malnourished."

A woman kneels and begs, her child starved and malnourished.

chronic hunger?It should be said that a major earthquake occurred in Longshi just two days ago.

Moreover, in recent years, no major disasters have occurred in Longyou.

"You also pay a lot of taxes every year, which shows that the economy should be good. The earthquake happened in the past two days. It is impossible to say that you will be hungry and malnourished in two days!"

Everyone lowered their heads deeply, and wiped their faces twice from time to time.

Some women couldn't control their emotions and cried together.

It seems that besides the earthquake in Longyou, there were other things that they did not report.

"Everyone might as well tell the truth about what happened in your place, why are there still children suffering from malnutrition?"

It stands to reason that although Datang is not rich and powerful, it is not enough to make the people malnourished in general.

"Because our Lord Magistrate of Longyou County, what he has done is beyond words!"

The villagers scrambled to tell Luo Bin that the magistrate had done some ridiculous things.

The more Luo Bin listened, the more angry he became, how could there still be such parents and officials in the world, completely disregarding the life and death of the people in his county!

"I will remind you to find a way, everyone, don't worry, I will arrange a place for you today, so that you will not be displaced."

Li Shimin comforted the displaced people, and went back to deal with the dog officials.

"It seems that the surrounding area was affected by the earthquake, so that their homes were destroyed, the people's harvest was greatly weakened, and even food and clothing became a problem."

Li Shimin was very angry. He had allocated silver taels to the disaster area, but these people had such a miserable life.

"Your family has so much food, it can be supplied, you should send someone to deliver it!"

"Look around to see if there are any idle houses? Arrange a good place for them."

Luo Bin rolled his eyes, Li Shimin is the current emperor, and all the food, clothing and use of the entire Tang Dynasty are yours, and you still have to deduct a little food from me.

Although he was dissatisfied with Li Shimin in his heart, he couldn't say it out of his mouth. Luo Bin bowed and nodded in agreement.

Of course Li Shimin could see his dissatisfaction. Who made this guy obsessed with farming in recent days? Now that there is a harvest in the yard, it is not a problem to contribute some.
