March 27, in front of the propaganda department, a crowd of people plus a line of newspaper sellers.

"One by one, queue up to buy, don't crowd, please consciously abide by the queuing discipline, don't cut the queue, and the one who cuts the queue will go to the last one." This is the official newspaper.

"Master, madam, do you want to buy a newspaper? Young Master, Young Master, do you want to buy a newspaper? This is our exclusive newspaper, and it contains the opinions of many insightful people." This is a private newspaper.

Private newspapers do not dare to go in front of official newspapers, they can only be sold at the end. While selling the newsboy, he looked towards the place where the official newspaper was being sold. Liu Qi, who was about to buy a private newspaper, smiled and said, "You newsboy, why don't you sell newspapers well, but instead you are jealous of other people's newspapers?"

The newsboy was carrying a diagonal bag, which was divided into three layers, and the three layers were filled with different newspapers.

He got up before dawn, went to the newspaper office to get newspapers, and put the newspapers ordered by each family into the mailbox in front of the door before dawn.

And because of the theft of newspapers a while ago - the newsboy thinks that people who even steal newspapers are trash in this life! And the newspapers these days are very important, so in addition to the mailbox, some people will ask to send slaves or sign in person.

With such a process of signing for receipt, it will take a lot of time than usual, such as waiting for someone to open the door, such as the gentleman asking him a few words, all delaying him to deliver the newspaper.

This morning, after the newspapers were delivered, it was already too late, and I had to spend a penny to go back by public carriage, so I grabbed some newspapers to sell in my bag when the newspapers were out.

These newspapers are in high demand these days, and if you arrive late, no one will leave them for you to sell.

But today I robbed the newspaper, but I have no intention of selling the newspaper. Hearing that the old man who bought the newspaper asked, he said, "God I don't know, the young man said that in the future, merchants or people who make money like us will pay taxes as long as the shopkeeper pays the wages."

They earn less, and naturally hope not to pay taxes.

Zhang Chi listened to his serious analysis, "The imperial court has given a lot of preferential policies, and we have to pay taxes, so we naturally agreed to give it a little bit every month, that's fine, but I'm afraid it's too much, I still have a family to support. ."

After finishing speaking, the little newsboy said without being shy at all, "Furthermore, I still need to save money for marrying a daughter-in-law. Before marrying a daughter-in-law, do I have to build a house?"

Zhang Chi laughed loudly and said, "I think a lot at a young age."

Then he asked him, "Then why don't you rush to the front to buy a newspaper? You newsboys, come early?"

The newsboy laughed, "Master, I don't have any money, I'll just pick one up on the ground later, there's no need to buy it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man angrily smashing the newspaper on the ground and shouting: "It's not fair, let a woman be crowned prince, now look at it, this world is about to become a woman's world."

Zhang Chi squinted his eyes, but before he could move, the roaring man was surrounded and beaten, and as soon as he was sent to the yamen next to the Propaganda Department, the man would go in and spend a few days in prison.

These are all the newsboys don't care about. He skillfully and quickly approached, and while the crowd was beating, rushed in and picked up the newspaper.

Then hide on the side and watch carefully. He was chosen as a newsboy, naturally, he had studied hard to read, so he started to look for the information he wanted, and finally saw it in the middle row.

Tax base: 5 taels of silver per month.

The newsboy let out a sigh of relief. He worked so hard to earn money, but it was only three coins a month. Five taels of silver, how much should I earn?

He put his heart into his stomach, and only then did he have the mind to continue selling newspapers and earn extra money. He showed the newspaper to the people behind him and said, "Do you want a newspaper? The latest official newspaper."

In an instant, someone paid a lot of money to buy it. The newsboy happily stuffed the copper plate into his sleeve and shouted loudly: "Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper—"

I wish my grandma just happened to walk to his side and said with a smile, "Little newsboy, give me a newspaper."

Newsboys are also discerning. In order to sell newspapers these days, they have recognized all the people at the Wanmin Conference, especially those who have appeared on the headlines and covers of newspapers over and over again. Naturally, they will not admit their mistakes. of.

He hurriedly announced the good news, "I wish grandma, your issue is over, and there will be a civil affairs bureau in the future."

Grandma Zhu was pleasantly surprised and said, "Do you recognize me?"

Newsboy: "I know, I know."

Then he paused, and pulled a poem out of his mind, "Now, who in the world doesn't know you?"

Although Grandma Zhu was stingy in business, she was always generous with her children, so she not only bought three different newspapers from the newsboy, but also gave a string of copper coins.

"Take it, buy some candy and eat it."

The newsboy said: "Now there is a severe drought, and the price of sugar has gone up again, but I dare not buy it anymore, but I would like to thank my grandmother for giving me happy silver, and I will give my grandmother, mother, and sister back home when I am young, so that they can all feel the joy of my grandmother. "

I wish the grandma would like the child to speak, and give him a piece of candy that he brought with him, and then hurriedly walked towards the house.

In the house, Wan'er and Xu Beiyan were both helping out in the house. There are too many people here. Before Grandma Zhu came back, these people crowded in the yard and talked about the Civil Affairs Bureau. When Grandma Zhu came back, they gathered around Grandma Zhu to ask questions. Those who could be put in, naturally. They are neighbors and relatives of Zhu's family, so Grandma Zhu didn't rush, just laughed and talked.

Then I saw a woman whispering to Grandma Zhu: "Wan'er who learned to grind tofu with you is that Sun Huang. Someone asked me to match her. Would you like to help me match."

Grandma Zhu shook her head, "She's still young, let her go."

The woman laughed, "You're still young? Are you seventeen or eighteen years old? That thing about her... even if she's a celebrity now, she's still... such a body, was ruined, don't care if the issue is won or not. If you lose, you are not innocent, and now there is a good person who likes her. As her master, you should discipline her and let her not pick on her."

I wish Grandma's joy was like being poured into a basin of cold water, the whole person was cold from the beginning to the end, the heart began to tighten, the whole person's face was ashen, and the veins burst.

"Get out—get me out—I don't welcome you in my house!"

Grandma Zhu screamed and startled the people who were joking inside, and also shocked Xu Beiyan and Wan'er who were boiling water and tea in the kitchen, put down the rolling pin and fire stick in their hands and went outside.

I saw Grandma Zhu pointed at a woman and scolded: "You bastard, do you still want to open a dyeing workshop to give you three points of face? Let's go to yours."

The woman was stared at by all eyes, and she felt embarrassed, and her face was bluish and red, but in the end she couldn't hold her breath.

She was also very angry, and said: "I wish you a big face, I think your face is as big as a pot, but you are a representative of the people, and it floats up. I would like to ask you, what did I do wrong to suffer from you like this? Abuse? Everyone, come and judge."

She pouted, "I have good intentions to be a matchmaker for Wan'er, but she is nice and scolds people indiscriminately."

Wan'er's face didn't look any different. Even though everyone followed the woman's gaze, she still didn't speak, she didn't cry or laugh, she just looked at the woman quietly, her mood was always calm.

The woman panicked when she saw it, but she felt that she was stunned by the little girls, it was really useless, so she said loudly: "What I want to tell her is my nephew, the child is self-sufficient. Pee is a decent person, does carpentry work, and has wealth and power in the family, why, she is not worthy of a girl's family but has no innocence?"

I wish my grandma was furious and scolded: "Go away, go away, I will take care of my family Wan'er, I want you to talk about the heavens and the earth and recite the scriptures here, go away!"

The woman was also completely annoyed, and said: "Come and see, now a broken melon is more particular, a poor family slave, who was forced to be strong, don't go and break it yourself, it's fine, and it's still here to riot. Zhang Yang, you have no father and no mother, or you would have been hanged by a rope in your family to show your loyalty, otherwise how would your sister in the family get married--"

"Snapped--"

Xu Beiyan didn't know when he stepped forward and slapped the woman out, causing her to lose one of her teeth. This time, it was terrible. The woman wanted to rush forward to beat her, so Xu Beiyan picked up a chair and went to the woman. Human head on the wheel.

It was a mess for a while, and even Wan'er herself rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to fight, and a celebration feast became such a scene.

When the scene was finally controlled and everyone left, Xu Beiyan, Grandma Zhu and Wan'er's hair were all loose. Grandma Zhu's daughter-in-law was working in the grocery store when she heard someone say that there was a fight in her house, so she hurried back and saw It was the three of them sitting on the ground unkempt, dirty, stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How old are you, really."

He didn't ask, just called the woman next door to help him look at the grocery store, "I'll give you ten pennies?"

The woman said, "Don't talk about money, neighbors and neighbors."

Then went away. I wish my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shouted to the neighbors: "Come for dinner at night."

I didn't even ask what happened just now. Anyway, someone told me about it on the way. I just said, "Hey, what do you want to eat, I'll do it. You three are all heroes today, so you don't have to move."

How could Xu Beiyan and Wan'er agree? Just as they were about to move, they were pulled by Grandma Zhu and squatted down and sat down, muttering, "Let her do it, no big or small."

...

"What do you think the Kingdom of Yu is doing? Big and small are the most useless. They are so good. They are protecting people, and they are about to become treasures."

A businessman from the state of Qi held a newspaper and saw that the "Salvage House" was rigidly stipulated as one city and one city.

"Also, you see, it's not just the Kindergarten, but this time there will also be a kindergarten under the imperial institution. It is said that the children can be entrusted here, and then the adults will go out to work."

These are of course benevolent governance. But it's not necessary.

Yanshang next to him said respectfully: "Yes, I usually don't need it, but it is very necessary this year and next year."

Qi Shang was curious, "How do you say it?"

Yanshang: "It's almost April, and it hasn't rained yet. I think it's not raining. Although the Yu Kingdom has made all the preparations, there will definitely be hunger. You think, if there is hunger, Next, who generally starts to be abandoned?"

Qi Shang's face gradually became solemn, "It's a child and an old man."

Yanshang took the newspaper again and pointed to one of the papers: "Look, it's written here, the agricultural tax will be exempted this year and next year, that is to say, as much as the farmers plant, they will eat as much as they want."

"And here, it is said that the imperial court will take the lead this year - in order to cope with the drought, every household must store food for a long time, not to waste it, not to eat too much meat, and to dig more food that can be eaten."

Qi Shang followed his gaze and saw that it also read: "There are many mountain bandits and gangsters in famine, so the court has to patrol the streets every day to reduce the occurrence of crimes, and also regularly suppress the bandits. ."

After he finished speaking, he murmured and said with a smile, "This Yu Kingdom is really... unforgettable."

Yanshang laughed, "Don't talk about you, I don't even want to go back, hey, it's a pity, leaving here is **** on earth, I'm here, but I see myself as a member of Yu Kingdom."

This is the charm of the Yu Kingdom. It is like water. The sea is open to all rivers. Everyone can find their own position and role here. It is advocated here that as long as you are useful, you can come out and realize your own value.

There is no obvious distinction between scholars, peasants and businessmen, which makes people very comfortable.

However, they still have to go after all. Just before leaving, there is one more thing to discuss.

Today, businessmen from all over the capital are gathered together for the sake of the law of Yu that will be established next year.

For example, the "seven-country business organization" that concerns the interests of their businessmen next year.

The general idea of ​​the seven countries' business and trade organization is written on three pages. The main meaning is: to join the business and trade organization, although you will be restricted by the laws of our Yu Kingdom and cannot do things that we do not allow, but our Yu Kingdom will also Give you some discounts, these discounts are only available in business organizations.

He also wrote a sentence that touched everyone deeply: With the economic development of the Yu Kingdom, the economy between the Yu Kingdom and the other five countries has become more and more close, and it has even driven the trade links between the seven countries, making everyone’s business activities more frequent, so In fact, the business of the six countries is already an inseparable part, and we must help each other and trust each other.

And there is one last sentence: the first business organization, except for the Yu Kingdom Chamber of Commerce, only accepts 20 families or chambers of commerce from the other five countries. If you are interested, please apply to Kyoto before February next year.

As soon as the news came out, it literally exploded in the business circle.

The Yu Kingdom was better, but the Five Kingdoms were different. Only twenty places. Doesn't this kill you?

Yu Guo has a word, that is, the person who eats crabs for the first time has a good life, and the quota this time is directly related to whether the family will rise or decline in the future.

In the end, it was suggested by Yanshang to hold a business conference, communicate with each other, analyze and analyze how to get the quota this time, and how can the merchants who do not have this quota get the most benefit.

In short, you must compete for 20 places, so can our small chamber of commerce also help you? But what good are we in helping you?

So this welcoming restaurant was wrapped up by businessmen today, and there was no place.

At this time, the person Yanshang who had just spoken to began to look at, suddenly said to the people around him: "Why hasn't Brother Suo come yet?"

The person next to him snorted, "You forgot, Brother Suo is from Jingzhou of Lu State, and now Jingzhou of Lu State has returned to Yu State, people don't need to discuss it with us here, Yushang has its own policies, you See, they have their own plans."

Yanshang thinks about it too. The news that there are still two prefectures in Luzhou, Yu Kingdom officially announced in early March, and now there are still two prefectures. If you think about it, it will be laid down soon, or it will be laid down, and it is eight hundred Liga. Express mail.

Then all the Kingdom of Lu belongs to the Kingdom of Yu, and Lu Shang is lucky, how good is Yu Shang.

What about the sales of agricultural and sideline products? What about the support of rural commercial small shops? Anyway, there are policies, and a hundred flowers are blooming, so there are many ways.

However, this year, it will not focus on luxury sales, but only practical sales.

"Luxury - let's put it this way, hey, the word of the Yu Kingdom is weird." Na Yanshang said with a smile: "Look, even the direction of this year's research department is practical, try our best to Produce things that solve the livelihood of the common people, and support the development and creation of capable people in the private sector. As long as they create things that are good for the common people, they can obtain patent certificates and bonuses after being certified by the court."

Yu Guo is so cute, what certificates, trophies... Although he doesn't approve of everyone competing for this award or that award, he himself has confidence in this year's Six Nations Best Merchant Award.

When I was thinking about how many competitors I had, I heard someone walking up with a smile. That is also a Yanshang, but only a steward.

Yan Guo's Huo family.

This manager Huo was originally the shopkeeper of a shop, and he brought his own son out to gain insight. Who knew that Luo Yusong, the son-in-law of the Huo family, was actually very good with Master Qin Kuan from the propaganda department, and lived directly in Ping'an Lane, such a place , Naturally, it is the first to get the moon near the water tower, so I also get to know the adults who live in Ping'an Lane.

In particular, there is still an adult Sun Xiang living in it.

After thinking about it, Yanshang felt that he could put the Huo family in front of him - after all, it was Lord Sun Xiang who gave this award last.

He was a little disappointed, and then suddenly remembered that Luo Yusong's family, the Luo family, was also from the country of Yan.

That is to say, just for the Yanshang, there were two families who robbed him.

After thinking about it like this, he felt a little decadent. He sighed and said, "It seems to be hanging."

A friend next to him asked him, "What's up?"

Yanshang said politely, "What do you think?"

He smiled and said, "You filter too much, the businessman award is based on social contribution."

Yanshang really didn't know this, and said, "I started talking about it last year...for the Yu Kingdom and the social contribution to the common people?"

The friend nodded, took a bite of a soft cake, and said, "Yeah, for example, donating a school, donating a well—"

This was meant to be a joke, but after speaking, he suddenly stopped and said with a tone of great admiration: "The whole country of Yu... is working hard to survive the drought this year, if this well can be dug out, it will be Not to save one life, but to save countless people and countless homes."

He said, "I am going to donate water wells after I return to Jin."

Yanshang patted his friend on the shoulder. Although they were from different countries, they were better than those from the same country because they came out to do business when they were young.

Therefore, the state of Jin was torn apart, and this year was another severe drought, and it was another wave of suffering to come to the state of Jin.

...

"My lord, it's hard enough, how else can it be harder?"

Zheng Changlong went out today and passed through the countryside, when he saw a farmer laughing loudly, shaking the birds on the tree. He couldn't help but stop and asked the reason, it turned out that there was no rain, the fields were dry and cracked, and there was no food at all.

"Then why are you smiling?"

The old peasant said, "Caomin has been crying since the year before, and after crying for a long time, he can't cry anymore. It's already like this, it's better to smile."

Zheng Changlong couldn't help but said: "Old man, don't be sad. Although there is a severe drought now, the city lord of Suzhou has his own way to deal with it, and he will come out soon."

The old peasant smiled and said, "Sir, you don't need to comfort the grass people. The sky is going to be a big drought, and the King of Hell will arrest them in person. If the grass people die, they will die.

Zheng Changlong frowned, "Why does the old man say such depressing words, are there other people in your family?"

The farmer shook his head, "Yes, there is a young son."

"How old are you?"

"Five years old."

Zheng Changlong persuaded: "Since there is still a son, he is still young and needs to be taken care of so that he can enjoy the happiness of his family. The city master of Sucheng loves his people like sons, and he will not let you starve to death."

The old man smiled and said, "I don't know much about the general. The old man had three sons. The first son died in the battle with Qi. The general benevolent and righteous gave the old man fifty taels of silver."

"The old man felt that the general was good, and he loved the people like a son, so he sent his second son to the city lord's command. When he finally fought against the Southern Jin Dynasty, he died."

This familiar story reminded Zheng Changlong of an old couple he met when he was in Tushan City.

He remembered the couple's two empty houses, and couldn't help but say: "Now your three sons... just follow you to farm, and don't go to war."

The old farmer looked stunned, "The general doesn't know again, the body of Caomin's third son is lying on Caomin's bed."

Zheng Changlong was stunned, "What?"

The old peasant: "The mountain bandits came the day before yesterday. They robbed the surplus food in the family and killed the children."

Zheng Changlong felt a little more bored in his heart.

That's right, he went out of the city this time to suppress the bandits. After suppressing bandits in one night, there were over 100 casualties. The mountain bandits were all killed. He was full of high-spirited spirits, and he was in high spirits on the way back. Only then did he feel in the mood to ask Yi Nongren why he was so big. laugh.

After a long time, he laughed hard, "I died the day before yesterday, why haven't I buried it yet?"

The peasant said slowly: "The eldest and the second have no corpses, and I have erected a tomb. But the child, logically speaking, is so young that either he is dying or he cannot erect a grave."

Zheng Changlong remembered some folk rules in Sucheng. The child died and had to be buried in the mass grave.

The peasant began to go back staggeringly, saying, "I no longer have the bodies of my two sons, but I can no longer find the graves of the children, so let's put them at home."

He started to walk back, but Tian didn't care and just went back.

Zheng Changlong felt that this natural and man-made disaster had driven people to death.

"I can't fight anymore." He got on his horse and muttered, "I can't fight anymore."

If you fight again, those who can't be said to be alive will be walking dead.

He rode back back and saw his grandfather Liu Chengren. He first told about the slaughter of the bandits, and then about the farmers.

"The peasant couple in Tushan City is still a little lively. If I give jade pendants, men will be embarrassed and grateful, women will be uncomfortable and angry, and they will accept jade pendants, but my grandson knows that the farmers I met today are no longer good enough. After accepting the jade pendant, his mind is gone, and he won't live long if he thinks about it."

He said, "I wanted to save him, but I thought, his heart is dead, so what if he saves people?"

Zheng Changlong said: "Grandfather, you said, when will this battle be stopped?"

His grandfather Liu Chengren smiled and said: "You have a benevolent heart, which is very good, but you must also know that as long as there are people in this world, there will be wars, and as long as the seven kingdoms are not unified, they will not stop. My granddaughter once said something that my grandfather thought was very good and wanted to tell you something."

"Grandfather, please speak."

Liu Chengren: "The general trend of the world, if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. If it is divided for a long time, it will be united. There is a great trend in the world. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish."

He said: "If you thoroughly understand these two sentences, you will not be able to speak today's words."

Zheng Changlong nodded in response, his heart sank a little bit, and he sighed and returned. When he returned to the camp, he asked, "How is it, now it's the end of March, hasn't the conclusion of the Yuguo Wanmin Assembly come back yet?"

Zheng Dashu shook his head and said, "General, there is no news from the Yu Kingdom, but a Shan businessman brought back a batch of military rations that Yu soldiers rumoured to eat, and the young ones bought it. Come and see."

Zheng Changlong's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the farmers anymore. He hurriedly looked at it and saw a box with three instant noodles written on it. When he opened the box, he saw that there were compressed noodles from a bag.

"It's different from what the soldiers of the Yu Kingdom eat." Zheng Changlong opened a pack and tasted it, and said, "It's a little tasteless."

He once ate a packet of instant noodles from the Yu Guobing Team, which tasted better than this one.

Then the Shanxi merchants said: "The general doesn't know anything, we have imitated it ourselves, and we have made great efforts."

He said while saying: "In the seasoning package, there are also sun-dried vegetables, which can be eaten after soaking. It's just that the seasoning used in the Yu Kingdom is a little more. Pepper is expensive."

Then he added: "However, we are still researching other flavors recently, such as Laotan sauerkraut."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone say, "But the sauerkraut from Laotan came from Yu."

The businessman said embarrassedly: "They are called Laotan Pickled Cabbage, and Tanzi's Sigh, we are called Laotan, the pool of Tanshui, different, different."

Zheng Changlong just glanced at the Shan businessman and said, "Don't learn from Qi people, it will ruin the reputation of our Jin country."

Then the Shanxi merchants said perfunctoryly, "Caomin knows, that general, do you want the rest of this side?"

Zheng Changlong nodded. In fact, the Seven Kingdoms had already made instant noodles from the Kingdom of Yu, but the Northern Jin Dynasty was not used to it, so he didn't make it, but it was practical, so let's use it.

After he bought the noodles, he looked at it again and said, "What is this?"

The merchant of Shanxi quickly stepped forward and said: "This is a good thing, General, this is called a top, you see, if you use a whip like this, you can whip the top, and the top will turn. The children of Yu Kingdom like to play with this. I always like to smoke for a while, and I am happy when I am in the little world, and I have prepared a batch of goods, ready to go back to the city to sell."

Zheng Changlong asked again, "What about this?"

"This is Fengyou essence, which can reduce inflammation and relieve pain, cool it and relieve itching. It is the latest drug developed by Yu Kingdom. It has been sold in Wanmin Medical Center. The villains lined up to grab a lot."

As he said, he shook his head and dropped the book bag, "It is said that the contents here are extracted from mint, camphor, eugenol, and eucalyptus oil. There are a few things in the period, which were introduced into Yu Kingdom from the Western Regions. The Yu people paid a lot of money to buy it."

He muttered, "After the Silk Road was established between the Western Regions and the Yu Kingdom, there were many benefits."

Then he added: "Now everyone has a bottle of this cooling oil, especially the students of the Yu Kingdom. If they are sleepy and tired from reading, they should smear it on their foreheads to keep them awake and prevent themselves from getting sleepy."

Zheng Changlong nodded lightly, then looked at other things, "Just tell me."

The businessman is not bothered, he eats this bowl of rice, especially the Yu people's things are easy to sell, everything is explained, and there are advertisements, the sales are very smooth, and there is no need to think about it.

So I talked about it one by one, put the skates, the small comb in the small mirror, the crossbow, the dagger, etc., and said it again, and finally said: "General, the other box is for women's things, look, Do you see?"

Zheng Changlong shook his head, "You can just leave the dagger, hand crossbow, instant noodles and other things I need."

The businessman was naturally happy that he had made such a big business, and happily followed the accountant to get the money, but Zheng Changlong looked at the things in the box, but a picture appeared in front of his eyes.

In the early morning light, some children took out the tops from their schoolbags. Three or five friends competed together to see who would play the tops. Another scholar, holding a book, yawned, and finally wiped it on his forehead with wind oil, and hit it again. A yawn, and then a group of yamen with knives and crossbows patrolling the street. A woman took a small mirror and brushed the hair in front of her forehead, then looked at the yamen passing by outside, and she was indifferent. Close the mirror.

This picture made his sinking heart thump thump thump thump.

...

"My heart is still beating, I'm not dead, I can still be saved." Zhang Hu listened to the old man's heartbeat and said, "Master, give me a little water."

Zhang Hu's master handed him the kettle and said, "Don't drink too much for him, water is precious now."

Zhang Hu sighed, pointed the kettle at the mouth of the old man, and said, "Wake up, wake up—"

The old man he rescued slowly opened his eyes, and said with difficulty in his dry throat, "Am I dead?"

Zhang Hu shook his head, "No, you are still alive."

The old man's rough hands covered his eyes with difficulty, as if he didn't want to continue living.

Looking at his clothes and injuries, Zhang Hu thought it was an old farmer nearby.

He said: "You fainted on the side of the road. We rescued you. Where is your home, we will take you back."

The old farmer nodded, "Thank you both."

Zhang Hu didn't think too much, and sent it to the door, but saw that the old farmer did not allow them to enter, and said, "My child died on the bed, and the two of you were afraid that they would not let them in."

He added, "It's even more ashamed to be a benefactor without food at home."

Zhang Hu couldn't help but ask for a reason, and the old farmer talked about his family's affairs and said: "It is a blessing to have a son when I am old, but my old wife died, and I grew up with my son. I can't stop. I want to have no children in my life, and I also want to repay my sins in this life in this life."

Zhang Hu felt that this was not a disease that a doctor could cure, and looked at his master hesitantly.

When his master saw it, he sighed, "We are going back to Yu Kingdom, I wonder if the old man is willing to go back with us?"

The old farmer paused, "Yu Kingdom?"

Master: "Yes, Yu Kingdom. There is a severe drought this year, and Yu Kingdom will definitely start many projects to let people who have no food to work in exchange for food. You have no family anyway, so why don't you go back to Yu Kingdom with me."

"I see that although you are a little older, you are still healthier than me. I also see that you haven't eaten for a day or two, but you still have such resilience. It's not a problem if you want to work hard."

"If that's the case, why should I die early? Even if my son is dead, I can even live out my son's share. If you feel that your knees are empty, there are so many people who have died in battle now, and there must be a lot of children left. It's enough to adopt one. "

The old farmer seemed to have a little vitality after what he said, and he was able to laugh and said, "No, it's hard to leave my homeland. If I die outside, I might as well die here, it's my own home after all."

Zhang Hu saw that Master wanted to continue to persuade him.

Master is generally not so patient. All because this old man is very similar to his own master.

At that time, the Yu Kingdom was not so strong, and the master's sons also died in battle, one by one, leaving him alone.

Maybe seeing this farmer reminded him of his past, so he wanted to save people.

He didn't think that Master and him could heal the heart of this old farmer, and he was about to persuade Master, but when he heard only one sentence from Master, the old farmer actually glowed with a trace of vitality in his eyes.

"In our country of Yu, there is no war, no mountain bandits."

His master said.

The old peasant trembled, "Is there really such a place in the world?"

Zhang Hu: "Although Jin and Yu are far apart, you know that Yu is not ordinary."

The old peasant murmured, "Really unusual?"

Zhang Hu: "It's like a fairyland."

The old peasant sat down slowly, "Really? I haven't been to the fairyland yet, there is no war, there is no mountain bandit, my child can still be saved, okay, if the two of you are willing to take me there, it will be given to me. The two of you being slaves are also made, I'm afraid that the two will dislike it."

Master Zhang Hu shook his head, "It's good to be equal to each other. We will take you to Yu Kingdom and find you something to do. It is best if you live."

He once carried the body of his youngest son on the bed, and was unwilling to bury it. He could understand the old farmer's heart, but he was relieved, but there were countless people who couldn't, so he could save one. .

So they agreed to leave tomorrow, and the three dug a grave for the old peasant and the child. According to Zhang Hu, it was absurd to say that the child did not build a grave. , I hope he will bless your family safe and sound, but has God bless you? No, if there is a God and there are so many people in the world, can he bless you here?"

"Now let's set up a grave for your child. There are so many graves in the world, can the ghosts find them one by one?"

can not.

The old farmer was persuaded, built a grave for the child, packed some clothes, and was about to leave when he heard the sound of hooves. Zheng Changlong came with a few people with a bag of grain in his hand.

Look, they are all acquaintances.

Zheng Changlong said happily: "Do you two remember me? You were in Tushan City before, and the two rescued me, but unfortunately they came and went in a hurry, and I didn't thank the two of them properly. I don't know if there is time today, please invite the two of you to eat. A light meal?"

Zhang Hu shook his head, "Doctors travel all over the world in order to save the dead and the wounded. If the general is injured, we should treat him as it should be."

Zheng Changlong knew that these two didn't want to have a relationship with him, and Doctor Yu should just save people, regardless of identity.

He admires them.

So I heard that the two were going to take the old farmer to Yu State for treatment, and they asked curiously, "Why are you going to Yu State for treatment?"

Zhang Hu: "He has a heart attack."

Although he only said this sentence, Zheng Changlong knew what he meant.

His heart was dead like ashes, the war in Jin was raging, and Liao smoke was everywhere. Like his illness, there was no possibility of treatment here, but Yu was as full of vitality as the picture that appeared in his mind yesterday.

A walking corpse, walking among corpses, will only continue to lose his will, and only if he goes to a place where life is full of vitality, will he have the possibility of life.

...

"So, this vital water lotion essence costs ten taels of silver?"

In the Kingdom of Yu, Kyoto, a Shanxi merchant who was buying in large quantities made a surprised voice, "Why is it so expensive?"

The salesman smiled and said: "Guest, we are expensive here if there is a word for vitality. This series of lotion is the most moisturizing and hydrating, and it is not expensive to sell for ten taels of silver. This is still in response to the call of the imperial court. The price is reduced only by engaging in luxury goods.”

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they all know that this is false, but the things from this beauty salon are brought back.
