Datang Fenghua Road

The governor of Luoyang finally sighed softly, then turned his head to look at the direction Han Yue had left.

Everyone guessed right. Han Yue really wanted to see the matter of the imperial examination. He chatted with the people at the tea stall today, and learned from the old woman something he had never seen before. It turns out that Luoyang is not serious about the Buddha, and the Longmen Grottoes participated. The people who rebelled were the sons of Buddha.

If he hadn't leaned down and integrated into the people himself, it would have been hard for Han Yue to imagine how crooked the decree he issued. This kind of thing also gave him a wake-up call and made him suddenly have the same idea about the imperial examination.

Now that you are in Luoyang, let's take a look at the situation of the folk scholars.

He walked all the way along the street, and then turned into the narrower alleyway, because the narrower the alleyway, the more likely it would lead to a slum. Han Yue wanted to see if there were any children studying in the poorest places.

At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him. It was obvious that someone was chasing after him. Han Yue stopped and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Tell me, what's the matter!" Han Yue waved at him, let the two soldiers walk to his side, and asked, "Seeing that you came in a hurry, there must be something you want to report."

"Report to Your Highness, the first batch of treasures has already started to be shipped. General Li Chong asked me to come and report, so that His Highness can know the progress of the excavation..."

Chapter 727 You have a big deal

The soldier took out a secret letter from his arms, carefully handed it to Han Yue, and then said: "The first batch of property is mainly a few treasures, and the other is one hundred boxes of gold and two hundred boxes of silver. They ordered 35 large ox carts, and General Li Chong specially sent [-] riders to escort them..."

He paused at this point, and continued in a low voice: "Since His Highness has been promoted to our military position, we can call in a large army to be stationed in Luoyang. In order to prevent accidents along the way, we have dispatched another 1 people from the garrison to escort us at the same time."

Han Yue nodded, indicating that the matter was known.

He glanced at the Baiqisi, and suddenly joked: "From now on, you will not be regarded as Baiqisi, but should be regarded as military officers of the local garrison in Luoyang. For this kind of tip-off, you should find an ordinary soldier to come over."

The soldier hurriedly puffed out his chest and said solemnly, "It is what I hope to be able to serve His Highness."

Han Yue laughed and scolded a sycophant.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the other soldier, and said in a leisurely tone, "What about you? Do you have anything to report?"

This warrior is also a member of the Hundred Knights, but he is not the part of the people involved in excavating the treasure. The Hundred Knights is the royal espionage organization. There are branches in all the prefectures and roads in the world. This warrior is a member of the Luoyang branch, responsible for monitoring The entire officialdom and people's livelihood of Luoyang.

Seeing Han Yue's question, he glanced left and right first, then carefully took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, Luoyang officials are going to make trouble again. Not long after you left, these people started talking about the imperial examination." , They want to temporarily do good deeds to please you, and they are going to send people to the villages and villages in Luoyang to distribute rice and grain. Especially the families of scholars who are studying may give priority to care..."

Having said that, he paused for a while, looked up at Han Yue's face, and carefully reminded: "The leader under his command feels that this matter is suspected of inviting people's hearts, especially when the imperial examination is about to start, so he urgently sent the villain Come here and report to His Highness, and hope that His Highness will come to a conclusion on this matter, whether to stop them or take them directly?"

"Block a fart, take a fart!"

Han Yue scolded with a laugh, raised his foot and kicked the soldier lightly, saying: "Why do you stop doing good deeds? Although the officials in Luoyang are trying to sell me, but it is the poor people who get the benefits, don't stop them, let them let go. Do it."

"My subordinates understand!" The soldier bowed his hands and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Han Yue suddenly stopped, thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Luoyang officials do good deeds, use the government's official warehouse or their own private wealth?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it's private wealth!"

"Very good, the king also stepped in!"

Han Yue nodded, then looked at the other Hundred Knights warrior, and said with a leisurely expression: "You go and tell Li Chong, let him get [-] copper coins from the treasure, and this batch of money will be shipped directly to the Luoyang government office. Let the officials go together and distribute it to the people."

"One hundred thousand!" The soldier rolled his Adam's apple a few times, obviously reluctant to part with Han Yue.

Han Yue scolded with a laugh, suddenly raised his foot and banged twice, and both soldiers were kicked away by him, but he turned around and continued to march towards the narrow alley.

As he walked, he said leisurely: "Go back to work, just as this king said, [-] yuan is not much, but remember not to corrupt."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we'll keep an eye on it." The two warriors cupped their hands from a distance, clapping their chests and making a promise.

"Go, I believe you wait..."

Han Yue's laughter came lingeringly, and his figure slowly disappeared in a dilapidated market.

……

……

This is indeed a relatively run-down square market, hidden in a very remote corner of Luoyang City, but there is a narrow path that bends and extends, with black and smelly sewage flowing on both sides of the road.

In fact, there are not only Luoyang, but also the capital city of Chang'an. There are poor people in every era, and there are slums everywhere.

Han Yue came here all the way, and did not dislike the dirty road. He walked casually as if he was wandering, but his eyes kept looking at this market.

poor, very poor!

Broken, very broken!

Every household is a wooden shed with some blackened old thatch on it. From the degree of corruption and weathering of the thatch, it can be seen that the roof has not been replaced for several years.

In ancient times, people paid attention to the family, the country and the world, and the residence of the family was always the first in the hearts of the common people, but these families could not even change the roof every year. The implied poverty and hardship are evident.

However, although the square market is dilapidated, it seems very lively. From time to time, there will be some naked dolls fighting in the small alleys, and it seems that they are not worried because of poverty.

Of course, this is just a naked doll.

Because they are too young, they belong to the season of innocence and carefree, so it is impossible to draw a conclusion to Fang Shi from the playfulness of these dolls. It really depends on people's livelihood and must contact adults.

But Han Yue had a clear understanding even before he had contact with the adults.

Because he saw many half-year-old children along the way!

The so-called half-year-old children are the age of just entering junior high school in later generations, and some are even younger, about seven or eight years old, but these seven or eight-year-old children have already begun to help their families.

For example, Han Yue saw two children, half-squatting at the door of his wooden shed, sweating profusely. They were seven or eight years old, but their palms were already full of calluses.

They were smashing dirt, a kind of dirt that could become clay.

One child is responsible for breaking up large pieces of soil, and then carefully detecting the mixed stones and the like, and the other child is responsible for fine processing, using a broken wooden board to twist the clay into powder.

After the child has twisted the clay, he will carefully hold it with both hands and walk into the wooden shed. It seems that the poor family lacks even a tool. The child can only transport the clay with his hands, not a shovel or other.

With a move in Han Yue's heart, he walked over. He stuck his head out to look at the wooden shed, and found that a commoner was busy with his work inside.

Although it was clear sky and daylight at this time, the light in the wooden shed was very dark. Han Yue could vaguely see that the commoner was a woman, but his body was covered with coal black spots.

This should be a young woman, and her child is working at the door.There is a small bed on the edge of the wooden shed, and there is a little doll lying on the bed that keeps kicking and playing. The doll is probably only a year old. It is strange that no one takes care of it and does not cry or make trouble.

"Sister-in-law, just lay the baby on the bed, aren't you afraid of rolling down and falling?"

Han Yue shouted from the door and borrowed this method to start the topic. He knew that if he wanted to integrate into the people, the easiest way was to talk about children.

It's a pity that the woman in the room didn't lift her head, and her hands were still busy.

She smiled while working and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it, how can a poor baby be so particular? Besides, the bed is not too high, even if it falls, it's not a big problem, at most cry a few times. , a sip of milk is enough, at the time her two brothers had fallen countless times, and now they still help the family..."

It's nothing to fall off, at most cry a few times.
