I robbed my son with the emperor

On February [-], a heavy snowfall in the capital finally stopped.

The eunuchs and guards all over the palace were clearing the snow before dawn.

At the same time, in Xincheng thousands of miles away, snowflakes just fell in the sky.

As soon as he came out of the warm spring-like space, the cold wind picked up and he sneezed.

The Xincheng City Lord's Mansion can't live in at all, and the original City Lord's own house is opposite. I'm afraid I haven't been to the City Lord's Mansion for normal work, so the City Lord's Mansion has been abandoned like this. The basic outline of the house is there, but the inside is empty. .

It’s like walking around the city during the day, and at night, you close the courtyard door and enter the space.The day before yesterday, Zhao Dahai took people to transport the food back, and he literally started to visit the city at sunrise and enter the space at sunset.

However, in fact, he was observing the situation in this small city.

The land of Chang State is not small, and it has dug up a piece of the huge grassland.It's just that there are few people in Chang State, and because the nomadic Kong Wu is powerful and arrogant, so the people of Chang State gather together, thus forming the seven cities of Chang State.

Now the pastoral city has existed in name only, and there are only six cities left.

In these six cities, apart from the scattered people outside the walls of the capital city, there are no villages around the other cities.There are as many people in the city as the total population of the city.

Xincheng reported that there were 1 households with a total population of [-], but they felt that the report was wrong.It's not that there are too many reports, but that there are fewer reports.

This matter starts with the business of Zheng's family that was almost discovered.Xincheng is located in the northwest of the capital, and further to the east is Lincheng, which connects to Changsheng Snow Ridge, which is rich in various rare woods.And Lincheng is not far to the south, there is a mountain city, and there are many mountain treasures, herbs, skins and so on.

In addition, after walking northward for two days from Xincheng, you will arrive at the boundary of Wushan, where there is a Wushan tribe.

The business of the Zheng family is to sell things from Shancheng, Lincheng and Wushan to Dawu, and then buy materials from Dawu and send them to these three places. The price difference between them all belongs to the Zheng family.

In contrast, the business of Jian Zhuo and the Zhao family is connected with Baocheng and Fengcheng.The gemstones in Baocheng and the silver mines in Fengcheng are small in size and high in value, so they are easy to transport, and they can be taken to other places in one or two large ships.

The Zheng family is different. It is said that their business is overland. Every year from spring to winter, the Zheng family's caravans set off one after another. The people in these caravans are hired from Xincheng, and they The reward is a year's grain and some cloth, that's all.

In addition, there are many children in each household here, and there is not enough food to eat.In order to find Zheng's family to exchange for other daily necessities, life is even more difficult.

Just staying here for so many days, Xincheng froze to death more than a dozen old people, starved to death of sick children, four hands can not count.But the people here are numb, as if this is just an ordinary thing.

If he wanted to save a moment, he could just take the food directly from the space, but he didn't want to fuel the arrogance of the Zheng family, and he didn't want to just give people a fish.

At daybreak, a large tripod similar to bronze was set up at the gate of the city lord's mansion, and the porridge that had been cooked with other spiritual weapons was poured into it.

It seems that there is only one tripod of porridge, but in fact there are many.Just take the lid and cover the tripod to prevent the porridge from getting cold.After his movement, the opposite door opened, and a servant poked his head at the door, then shrank back.

After a while, Zheng Hong stood at the gate of Zheng's mansion wearing a big sweater and covered his hands, looking at what he was going to do.

Jian simply smiled, pretending to come from behind the cauldron, but actually took out two baskets of candies from the storage bag.He made the candy cubes in the space. He mixed freshly cut honey with herbs and dried fruits for health, and made a lot of them in one go.Although the appearance is extremely ugly, the taste is extremely sweet.

Sure enough, as soon as the two baskets of candy appeared, the passers-by stopped and sniffed.

It's like hooking a child to come over.Children are not like adults, they don't care about the presence of the old city lord, the child was hooked by Jian, and he couldn't wait to run to Jian, looking at the two baskets and pointing his fingers.

He simply pulled off the child's hand, grabbed a small piece of candy and stuffed it into the child's mouth.

The child's eyes lit up instantly.

Simply smiled, squatted down and asked, "Is it sweet?"

"sweet."

"Do you want to eat it?"

"want."

"Okay then," Ji Ji patted him, "Go and tell the children you know, let them come and get candy, every time you call one more child, I will give you a piece of candy."

The child doesn't know how to count, but he also understands that the more children come, the more candies he can share, so the child ran out.

Zheng Hong sneered, and sat on the chair brought by the servant, with a cup of hot tea on the table beside him.

The scent of tea is in stark contrast to the ragged people huddled by the roadside.

Not long after, the sound of chirping children came. Seeing the large army coming, they secretly put a few baskets filled with candies behind the cauldron.

In Xincheng, excluding the Zheng family members and those who work in the Zheng family, the local residents reported a population of 1. How many people are there in 1 people?I'm afraid it's not as many as half of a university.Every household in the city lived close to each other, and almost everyone knew each other. When the child yelled like this, it was passed on from ten to ten, and except for the young ones who were under the supervision of their parents, the rest almost moved out of the nest.

There was no rush at all, one by one the candies were handed out, and the remaining basket of candies was handed over to the yelling child.

The other children looked at the child enviously, almost coughed, and said, "Go home now and call all the adults in your family, and say that the new city lord said that the city lord has something to say today, and everyone who can come to listen Send a pot of porridge, how much a pot of porridge is, depends on how much your pot can hold. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to bring your pot when you come.”

As soon as the children heard it, they scattered.A few bright kids approached and asked, "Is what you said true?"

"It's true!" Shi simply stuffed candies into the mouths of these children one by one.

The children pursed their mouths in joy, and ran away clattering together.

There was a click from the opposite side, but it was Zheng Hong who broke the teacup.

I just thought that these adults might have to wait, but I didn't expect these adults to come faster than the children.There are those who really believe in serving porridge, and the whole family comes with a big iron pot up and down.Some were holding jars and timidly wanted to ask about the situation.There was an adult leading a child, stretching his neck and watching.

He simply jumped onto the lid of the cauldron, smiled condescendingly at Zheng Hong, and said loudly, "Today, whether you are holding a pot or a jar, you all have rice porridge collars."

"Great, there is no iron pot at home."

"White rice porridge? I haven't eaten it yet!"

"It turned out to be true, I'll go home and ask them to bring the jar!"

……

Zheng Hong lost his composure and stood up.

They just clapped their hands, and continued when they were quiet, "But there is a requirement to get the porridge, that is, it won't take much time until I finish what I'm going to say."

"What do you want to say?"

"My lord, just say it!"

"Listen to the adults."

……

"Okay!" Pointing at the dilapidated City Lord's Mansion behind him, "Although it's cold, I have a mission here, which is to rebuild the City Lord's Mansion."

When everyone heard it, there was no sound.

He just smiled and continued, "I've also looked at everyone's situation. Next, I want to talk about my request. The construction of the City Lord's Mansion must be built with stones from the capital, which is a day's journey away. And the new site is not here. It's half a day away from the capital, where the City Lord's Mansion is built."

"Then, can we not go?"

"It's too far away, and it's freezing cold."

"Yes, there are still children and old people at home."

"Out of the city wall, what should I do if I encounter wild wolves?"

……

Zheng Hong laughed, almost glanced at him, raised his hand to suppress the controversy, "I haven't finished my sentence yet. Now that the requirement is there, I naturally want to tell everyone about the benefits. Those between 16 and 30 years old, as long as they come to For work, each person can receive half a catty of rice every day."

As soon as these words came out, there was a coaxing sound from below.

He just didn't care, and continued. As soon as he opened his mouth, there was no sound at all, "Children under the age of 16 and over ten years old, who come to help, can receive five candies per person per day. People over the age of 30 come to help, Then each person can receive one catty of vegetables per day. Well, I’m done talking, and I’ll start working tomorrow, and tomorrow you’ll come to my place to get a badge, and this badge will be the certificate for you to work and receive rice in the future.”

I jumped off the cauldron and took off the lid. Immediately, the rice soup was so fragrant.He secretly pulled out a utensil for serving rice soup, "Now line up, don't fight for it, you can't get rice soup if you fight."

Looking at the bustling scene outside and the smiles on the faces of the people, Zheng Hong flung his sleeves and entered the Zheng residence, "The food has obviously been transported away, where did he get the food?"

No matter how confused he is, the hearts of the people have been agitated.When there is no way out, the people who were originally meek as lambs must try to seize this opportunity.

The Zheng family is defeated, they are too greedy.

After a busy day, I entered the space when it was dark, and I was busy making signs. Each sign had to be of the same size, and it could not be copied, with a serial number. The amount of work was not small.

At the same time, night fell in the capital.

The emperor's bedroom is still the same place.The guards at the door were replaced by a group of people.Meng Xiao changed into a chief executive's clothes that were thick purple and almost black.

He confronted Liu Yuyi at the door for a long time, and finally entered the bedroom under Liu Yuyi's "Emperor's Edict".

The dormitory is quite different from a few days ago, even in the dark, it is still as bright as day.On all the shelves in the hall, there are all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous utensils crowded side by side, all of which are the hundred boxes of treasures that were originally given to Wu Yuanya.These treasures, in the light of the pearl, emit colorful brilliance, almost blinding people's eyes.

Meng Xiao rubbed his eyes, got used to the light, and walked to the desk, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor sent Imperial Physician Liu, and... medicine, here they come."

The bright light clearly illuminated the scar on Wu Yuanya's neck.Wu Yuanya didn't seem to hear Meng Xiao's voice, and concentrated on painting.

Meng Xiao glanced at the familiar person in the painting, and repeated what he said just now.

Wu Yuanya didn't listen, didn't answer, he didn't murmur until the last strand of hair was drawn, "Meng Xiao, look, isn't my drawing quite similar?"

Meng Xiao quickly replied, "Like, like, how can it be different, it's just like Lord Hou..."

"Shut up!" Wu Yuanya was furious.

Meng Xiao knelt down, "Damn the slave! Die the slave!"

"Remember!" Wu Yuanya stared at him coldly, "Whoever dares to mention Mr.'s name in the future is disrespectful!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"By the way, what did you just say?" Wu Yuanya carefully pinched his sleeves and fanned the painting.

"Yes, the Supreme Emperor ordered Imperial Physician Liu to deliver the medicine."

"Medicine?" Wu Yuanya paused.

"Yes," Meng Xiao looked at Wu Yuanya's stomach.

Wu Yuanya also rubbed his stomach, "Mister is gone, so it's useless to keep this child?"
