Crossing the Tang Dynasty to farm

A road in the city was rebuilt with money from the government. If the commercial tax received is not used to do something for everyone, I always feel uneasy. One road can pass two ox carts, and the carts are used vigorously by everyone. , there were more people coming and going, and the news spread. Tang Pin followed the advice of the merchants from the leading city. Last autumn, he went to transport the rice back to the place where the local magistrate was beheaded, and the emperor transferred one from the court. The officials went to open a passage in the wild mountain forest, transported a lot of grain from it, and opened a road to the depths of the forest, where the emperor wanted to find more grain.

After the grain is planted, the first batch of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corns are harvested. The yield of sweet potatoes is high, the price is lower than other grains, and the taste is good. People in the rich and noble cities are planting the value. For a time, the streets are full of sweet potatoes, piled up Such as Xiaoshan, all the manpower is transferred to the field, and the lunch in the school quickly turns the sesame seed into sweet potatoes.

The merchants in the collar city took a whole month to remove the sweet potatoes piled up on the street. The sweet potatoes in the field were dried and stored at home. The yield of potatoes is high, but there are few seeds, and the seeds of corn are more. They are not as high as potatoes, and the old man insisted that they be kept as seeds.

Tomatoes can be seen everywhere, and money can be produced in Fugui City. The news spread quickly. They are all hungry and crazy ancient people. They left as soon as they heard the sound. There are a group of hungry ghosts, and I heard that there is a severe drought in the north, and there is no harvest. The hungry people are crowding into the rich cities, and the officials and lords are going crazy. food relief for the hungry.

Tang Pin looked sadly at several hungry people rushing into Fugui Village, staring at the sweet potatoes and swallowing their saliva, the old man took out a pile of baked sweet potatoes, the hungry people stuffed them into their mouths with green eyes, rolling their eyes until they choked , The hungry people ate two sweet potatoes, patted their chests and said: "If there is anything to do, we can do it."

The power of the lord official can't control so many hungry people at all. A Niu did not know where he transferred the army, and drove the hungry people to the mountains outside the city to take care of them. They sent sweet potato porridge every day, and Zhuang Li followed them. Working in the city can guarantee that you will not starve to death, but you can't guarantee that you will be full. In this way, the hungry people knelt down to thank them, and the court didn't care about them.

The life that was a little bit better, returned to the days of drinking porridge and eating wild vegetables. People in Fugui City took out sweet potatoes and food stored at home. A Niu asked the official to exempt the big guys from tax and only charge commercial tax. That's it. It is also difficult to relieve all the hungry people. There are a hundred thousand hungry people. There are less than [-] people in Fugui City. The wild grass and vegetables have been dug up. A Niu took the hungry people to hunt and pick tea. Fugui City The people in the village tightened their belts and saved food from their mouths to save people.

Relying on one city for relief is far from enough. Tang Pin boldly mentioned that he would go to the collar city to collect money, build up the reputation of the school, and recruit more students. This matter is handled by the official, but Tang Pin is still frowning every day , looking at the hungry people working in the fields, eating a little sweet potato porridge, and now waiting for the rice harvest.

But things became more serious. The number of hungry people reached 20. Among the people, there were voices of dissatisfaction with the imperial court everywhere. Foreign enemies invaded. They all began to shrink their clothes and go on a diet, and all the food in the wilderness was sent to the army. The court couldn't get any money, but the number of hungry people continued to increase.

The number of students in the school has reached 1000, which is far from enough. The rice was harvested at this time, and it gave the hungry people who came later to withstand it for a while. The emperor's intention is obvious. , Two tomatoes are a day's food for a hungry man, and the old man emptied all the food in the house.

In order to keep the hungry people from starving for food all day long, Tang Pin asked A Niu to take the hungry people to reclaim wasteland, open up mountains, plant tea and fruit trees, open rivers, build reservoirs, open up wasteland, do as much as he can, give some Doing things will not cause trouble.

Many old people gave stuttering to their children, and death was everywhere. The children were taken into the city alone, and a simple school was opened, mainly to take care of the children. Tang Pin watched the old people starve to death, lying on the bed and turning over. Tossing and turning, I couldn't fall asleep.

A Niu pulled him into his arms, and said softly, "Sleep, don't think too much."

Tang Pin simply sat up, shook A Niu and said: "If this continues, not to mention the hungry people, even the people in Fugui City will starve to death."

A Niu frowned deeply and said: "The current plan is to delay it for a day."

"There is still a lot of grain in the wilderness. If the emperor agrees, let the surrounding government to open the grain transportation." Tang Pin said: "Foreign enemies are coming, prevention is necessary, but the people in the country cannot be starved to death."

A Niu also sat up, lit a candle, took out a topographic map, pointed to the depths of the wilderness and said: "The food in the surrounding areas has been mined, and the government that is too deep is unable to enter, and the army is now transferred to the battlefield. The current season It’s not right, there are strong winds and heavy rains, and a little deeper will bring death, and it is difficult to get enough food at the current speed.”

Tang Pin pointed to a place not far away and asked: "It's not much closer here, why don't you open up wasteland here?"

A Niu shook his head and said: "This is another small tribal country, not the land of the Tang Dynasty. Attacking them now will only increase the pressure on the court."

Tang Pin looked at a large piece and said, "Is this a pasture?"

Ah Niu nodded: "It's a relatively large neighboring country."

"They raise cattle and sheep?" Tang Pin said happily.

A Niu nodded Tang Pin's face with a smile and said, "Why are you happy with cattle and sheep from other countries?"

Tang Pin raised his chin and said, "Their cattle and sheep will soon become ours."

In the middle of the night, Tang Pin was drinking tea, and kept talking about how to cheat cattle and sheep from other countries, as well as earn money. A Niu was funny from the beginning, but at the end, his face became suspicious, what Tang Pin said , in fact, it is feasible. Datang seldom does business from the neighboring country, and now the salt of Datang is the most needed commodity in the neighboring country. It can earn a lot of money from it, and it can also be exchanged for a large amount of cattle and sheep. You can get a lot of things from the sweet potatoes, tea, and biscuits you mentioned.

A Niu asked Tang Pin to go to bed first, and stood in a daze by the window, not daring to imagine that if Tang Pin had been in other countries from the beginning, Datang would be wiped out sooner or later, a secret letter would soon be passed to the emperor, and the emperor would Didn't read much, only saw the word food written on the letter, he slapped the table and said: "Let the emperor do it."

Tang Pin waited for several days, and finally got A Niu's consent. The official selected thousands of strong men from among the hungry people, and took sweet potatoes, tea, flour and salt to the direction of the grassland. It will take two months, the official can't go away, the hungry people and the rich city have to be watched by the official, the old man sighed for several days, the aunt was crying early, and the villagers surrounded Tang Tang. products out.

A Niu didn't want Tang Pin to go, but Tang Pin was very persistent. No one knew better than Tang Pin what the leaders of the grasslands needed, and the changes along the way. Without Tang Pin's help, many accidents and minor illnesses occurred. Tang Pin is good at small pains.

What they went to was only a border country, a country closest to Datang. They traveled across mountains and rivers for a month, catching fish from the river, digging wild vegetables from the fields, and hunting in the mountains at night. They walked all the way. It is very difficult, just to save a little more food.

After crossing a big mountain, they came to the neighboring country. The herdsmen stretched their heads and looked over curiously. A Niu took Tang Pin to the past. He didn’t understand the language, but it didn’t matter. Invite them to eat good sweet potatoes. After eating and drinking a sip of tea, they feel refreshed. They raised their big thumbs up to Tang Pin. Tang Pin smiled kindly, pointed at the dozen sheep, and pointed A small bag of salt.

They laughed happily, carrying a small bag of salt, drove the flock over, and sent a few lambs, everyone laughed happily, A Niu beckoned a dozen hungry people, and drove the flock back, When they came to the edge, they began to have a very important job to do, which was to kill the sheep. It was obviously unrealistic to drive the sheep back. Not to mention that the journey was difficult, the sheep still had to eat and get sick, and they had to be watched over.

They killed them all, boiled them in a pot, and hung them on the branches to dry. They did not leave in a hurry. The next day, when dust billowed in the distance, a large group of people drove the sheep over. Pulling Tang Pin behind him to protect him, the hungry people all picked up branches to guard against it.

The author has something to say: Open V on Monday.

☆, the irresponsible emperor

The other party came to the front, and a smiling person stood out, that is, the herdsman who exchanged salt two days ago. Everyone was staring at the goods behind Tang Pin. They needed tea and salt the most. This time, the person who exchanged was A Niu A Niu sat on the ground with a blank face and raised the price. Not fat sheep, a small bag of salt is exchanged for thirty fat sheep, and half a catty of tea is exchanged for twenty fat sheep. The eyes of the hungry people are green. Send a roasted sweet potato.

The hungry people were picking fat sheep. Tang Pin taught them to grind the tea into powder, pour it into the fire or put it in milk to drink. A Niu counted the heads of the sheep. A total of [-] sheep were selected, and the lambs and lean sheep were shared. They are very ruthless and don't change. They take the goods, eat sweet potatoes, and give the lean sheep to Tang Pin. The visitor compares three fingers, pointing at the goods and pointing at the sheep, which means, on the third day, three days later they Still have to change.

A Niu nodded with a cold face, and pointed three fingers, meaning that if they don't come after three days, they will leave and no exchange will be made.

Now I can no longer tell the 1000 people who came with me to be hungry. They all ate their stomachs and rolled their eyes. They couldn’t stop them. They were all hungry. Guarding with around twenty sober men, this is not Datang, they are few in number, if they are robbed, they have no strength to resist, if there is anything wrong, Ah Niu will take everyone to Back off, don't stay for a moment.

The cart was piled full of mutton, and some sheep were left to pull the cart. Three days later, they came again. This time, more people came, with thousands of sheep. A Niu came forward and pointed to the goods. There was not enough tea, so they exchanged it with other commodities. The herdsmen nodded with smiles, and all the sheep came over. They stood far away, waiting for the people here to bring the commodities. In front of them, he turned around and left. A Niu waited for him to divide the goods, and he was relieved when he was far away. Tang Pin stood at the back of them, and danced for a long time without seeing how many people came this time.

This time, the sheep were not killed. A Niu gave an order, and everyone drove the flock of sheep and pulled the mutton back. They drove all night until they returned to the land of Datang. Then A Niu asked everyone to stop and rest. Thousands of sheep ran It was very slow, they killed half, left half to pull the cart, and after walking for a while, killed half again, just like that, ten days later, all the sheep were killed, A Niu found the local army and escorted the mutton to Fugui City, and A Niu and Tang Pin have to buy salt to exchange.

There were eight times back and forth, and no less than [-] sheep were transported. A Niu took Tang Pin and the strong men back to Fugui City. Before entering the city, the hungry people cheered and waited at the gate of the city. She came out to greet her personally, the old man brought the whole family, and Ah Hua held up the mutton for Tang Pin to eat.

Hundreds of live sheep were driven into the city and rushed all the way back to Fugui Village. They were warmly welcomed by the villagers along the way. Like a hero returning, A Niu blocked Tang Pin behind him, and the value of the strong men who followed immediately increased. It is a great joy for the official to let them bring their family to live in Fugui City. Now, no one knows the wealth of Fugui City.

The crops in the second half of the year are about to be harvested. Apart from mutton, the family in Fugui City really can’t afford any food. They are all eagerly waiting for a bumper harvest. The river water is very clear, tea trees and fruit trees have been planted in the mountains, and wild fruits hang on the branches, half green and half-green. This year, there are no wild vegetables to be dug in Fugui City, and they are all eaten. The land suddenly becomes much wider. Up to the end, it is still very flat and full of grain.

Tang Pin took a bath to wash off the sheep smell from his body. When A Niu came out of the bath, he saw Tang Pin eating noodles. After eating mutton for several months, he almost vomited. He gnawed two sweet potatoes. Root, Tang Pin stroked his round belly, and was very satisfied to sleep well. A Niu picked him up, put him on the bed, covered the quilt, kissed his forehead gently, and said softly: "Go to sleep soon." .”

A Niu didn't sleep, went to the school to see a meeting, the school has students coming in these few months, the tuition fee is unnecessary to see, it has already been used up, the husband insisted on teaching the students, his face turned hungry Qing, A Niu looked at the account, but didn’t make a sound. The gentlemen posted all their own money in. The school lunch only had thin mutton soup, and the gentlemen only ate two meals a day. They didn’t faint from hunger, so they were considered strong enough. that's it.

On the road, I saw a lot of adults smashing sheep bones to make soup, cooking wild grasses and vegetables in one pot, and adding mud to the soup, just to lie to their stomachs, and they could hear the sound of water in their stomachs when walking , Many children sat on the side of the road and cried loudly with hunger.

The old man has lost a lot of weight again, the clothes on his aunt's body are torn, A Cai and A Shu don't even have shoes, A Hua's beautiful clothes are gone, and the fat on his face is gone. There is no one in the small shopping street. Business has been stopped, and business without commodities is just a joke. In just a few months, the wealthy Fugui Village has returned to the way it was when A Niu first came, like hungry people.

The villagers managed to raise some meat and disappeared quickly, drinking thin soup and looking at the grain in the field. Fortunately, they still have hope. After the harvest, the hungry people will bring the grain Back to their hometown, Fugui City will become rich again after the next year's harvest.

The young official lord came over with his eyes darkened, and his walking was unsteady. It is estimated that he has not had a good day in the past few months. The imperial court threw the hungry people over and ignored them. The pressure of the official lord is no less than that of the emperor. They survived, 20 hungry people were fed by them, and the official is like a dream.

Now everyone is waiting in the fields, counting the days and waiting for the harvest. The hungry people are let in. Now everyone eats and works the same. The villagers sat and chatted at the villagers' homes, and the children they brought could go to the school to attend classes. The old man was accompanied by many children. A Niu walked over and asked, "Grandpa, do these children live at home?"

The old man smiled honestly and said: "They are all the grandchildren of the grandfather. He takes the girl as his mother, and the house is big. The grandfather saw them as pitiful, so he brought them back to raise them. Otherwise, he doesn't know where he will go wandering."

A Niu frowned, "Where's their family?"

The old man said with tears in his eyes: "They all starved to death. They came here with their relatives. The relatives' lives were also difficult and they couldn't support them. Some of them came here with the adults. They are all good children and very sensible. Grandpa made his own decisions." Let them stay, baby, if you agree, let them stay at home, you see the older ones will be able to live independently in a few years, grandpa eat less and let them eat."

A Niu had a headache and said: "Grandpa wants to keep them, so let's stay. Send them to school to study. Grandpa don't have to worry about raising the family."

The old man smiled: "Baby is capable, grandpa will live a good life with you."

A Niu walked around and found that he was much better than before, so he went home. Tang Pin just got up and stretched himself. A Niu took the clothes to help him put on. After a while, Tang Pin looked at A Niu, and A Niu said helplessly, "It may be the baby picked up by grandpa."

Tang Pin said: "How do you know?"

A Niu Wangtian: "There are seven older ones outside, and the family population has increased again."

Tang Pin searched for the sound. In the aunt's room, the baby was crying with its mouth wide open. Seeing Tang Pin sticking out its head, the baby pouted aggrievedly. It opened and closed. It looked very cute. Tang Pin picked up the baby and patted it gently. , the baby looked at Tang Pin pitifully, and A Niu was puzzled, "What does he want to do?"

Tang Pin laughed and said, "I guess I'm hungry."

Handing the baby to A Niu, A Niu frowned and his whole body was stiff, obviously he had never held such a small baby before, Tang Pin pulled A Niu's and put it on the baby's buttocks and said: "Hold it here, otherwise the baby will would be insecure."

Going into the kitchen, Tang Pin finds some rice, grinds it into powder, puts some boiled rice paste, a small bowl of rice paste, the baby eats very deliciously, it may be hungry for a long time, the baby eats very quickly, when the rice paste is finished, Tang Pin took the baby to change the diaper, and the movements were very skillful. A Niu stood stiffly aside, afraid that the baby would be hurt if he exerted too much force.

Not long after, my aunt came back in a hurry and saw the baby being held in Tang Pin's arms, and the baby was smiling with its mouth open. Then the aunt was relieved, took the baby and said, "A woman gave birth, Going to deliver babies, it will be a bit slower to come back.”

Tang Pin said: "Auntie, take a break first, the baby is very good, I can just take it with me."

Auntie smiled and said, "How can I let you, a big man, take care of the child? Auntie should come. You should be hungry. Auntie is going to cook."

A Niu pointed to the empty bowl and said, "The child has eaten."

My aunt was surprised: "You know how to feed the baby?"

A Niu pointed at Tang Pin again and said: "He will, I don't understand." Very self-conscious.

The aunt shyly said: "The doll is better than the aunt in everything, what kind of paste is this? Children are most suitable for eating this kind of paste."

Tang Pin waved his hand and said, "I've been in contact with babies before, and it's just a paste made from ground rice and boiled. It's very simple."

Auntie said: "Can you teach Auntie, now everyone has no food and no milk to feed their children, just a little goat's milk is still not enough."

"Okay." Tang Pin stood up happily and said, "Go to the kitchen to cook rice porridge now, no matter how young children are, they can eat it."

A Niu leaned against the kitchen door, watching Tang Pin busy inside, sometimes raised his head and smiled, the smile was very innocent and cute, he was fascinated by watching it, until Tang Pin came out after washing his hands, shaking in front of A Niu Only by shaking his hands did he bring Ah Niu back to his senses.

Tang Pin asked curiously: "Do you also want to eat rice noodles?"

A Niu laughed and said: "No, let's go, I will take you out for a stroll and see your new home."

Tang Pin happily followed A Niu out, and took the baby in his arms. Many villagers came outside and greeted Tang Pin. Everyone was very happy to see A Niu and Tang Pin came back healthy. Tang Pin took a deep breath before coming to his new home. He said in one breath, "It's so beautiful."

It may be that hungry people came in to help, and the new home was completed earlier than planned. A Niu opened the door, but there was no furniture inside, and the small garden was full of food. He walked through the garden at the front door and came to the living room. Surprisingly, it can accommodate hundreds of people. A Niu led Tang Pin along the way, and came to a relatively large house. He pushed open the door, and there was a bed inside. There were quilts and pillows on the bed. .

Tang Pin said: "This is?"

A Niu asked Tang Pin to sit on the bed, took out a bag of dried sheep from his arms and gave it to Tang Pin, and then said: "Our room, there are many children in the house, it is already not enough, grandpa asked us to move here in advance. "

Looking at the empty new home, Tang Pin said: "Isn't it a bit too deserted to live here?"

A Niu shook his head and said, "No, after the autumn harvest, grandpa will bring everyone to live in, and it will be very lively."

Tang Pin kicked off his shoes, rolled the baby into the bed, and said with emotion: "It's such a big bed, a few laps are enough."

A Niu took off his shoes and got on the bed, pulled Tang Pin and the baby into his arms, A Niu patted Tang Pin lightly and said: "I'm thin, I have to take care of it."

"I haven't lost a lot of weight." Tang Pin leaned on Ah Niu and said angrily: "It's not easy to save 20 hungry people, but the emperor is too much, leaving the hungry people aside. If you don’t step on it, how can you win the hearts of the people like this, it’s disgusting.”

A Niu patted Tang Pin on the head and said: "It's not easy to be an emperor, the treasury has long been empty, foreign enemies continue to invade, and civil strife is also very serious. The world is inherently unstable, and there are many places that need money. The emperor They were also powerless, and they couldn't get it out, so they had to lure the hungry people to Fugui City. The number of people reported by the magistrate was 20, but the real number was 20. Unexpectedly, the magistrate was beheaded, but the hungry people actually existed, all of them opened their mouths to eat, and the palace changed to two meals a day, but it couldn't save so much There is a lot of food, and the foreign enemies are even more crazy when they learn that there are 20 hungry people. Even many small tribes and small countries have invaded, and the imperial court is too busy dealing with foreign enemies.

Tang Pin snorted and said: "The emperor never thought about whether Fugui City has the ability to relieve 20 hungry people, not 20. When 20 hungry people come here, they even eat up the grass roots and bark. We can't leave the hungry people aside. If Fugui City doesn't relieve [-] hungry people, the consequences will be serious, okay? Even Fugui City and several nearby cities will become hungry people, and everyone will fight for food. If you fight to the death, it is easy to cause chaos, and you can't defend the country, so how can you deal with foreign enemies."

A Niu smiled wryly and said: "Fortunately, Fugui City has settled down the hungry people. To put it bluntly, if the hungry people are not settled down this time, the country will be destroyed, and Datang may not exist. "

"The emperor has money, we have to ask him for the money back, Fugui City will do its best to help, the emperor didn't even give a hint, it's too unreasonable."

"There may be an imperial decree. The emperor really can't get the money now. When the country is rich, I will ask the emperor for money." A Niu said with a smile: "At that time, I can be an official. Do you want to be an official?"

Tang Pin shook his head firmly and said, "I don't want to. It's too miserable for a small official, my lord. I'd better be a farmer."

Ah Niu laughed out loud, Mr. Guan is the most unlucky official. After a while, the management has improved a little bit. The emperor threw him a big trouble for the country. If other officials probably didn’t commit suicide, they probably ran away with their families. The master is still a good official in this regard. He insisted on persevering and settled the hungry people and the people in the local area. He has some skills.

"If you ask for more land from the adults, the money for building the house will not come out." A Niu said: "The school asks the adults to build a few more rooms, and next year it will have to accept more students. There is no money in the school account, and it has to rely on tuition fees to support it. School."

Tang Pin said with a smile: "A Niu, you have the qualities of a profiteer, and you won't suffer at all."

A Niu kissed Tang Pin's cheek and said: "We have suffered a lot from the scriptures, we just want to come back to make up for it, it's not too much."

"It's not too much." Tang Pin said: "Your Excellency will have to be promoted this time. We may not see him when the time comes. We have to get him back before he leaves."

A Niu nodded: "Well, hurry up, the next official won't admit it."

The two discussed how to make it up. The young official was receiving the order in the government. The emperor said a lot of good words, which almost moved people to tears. He proceeded to receive the imperial decree, knelt on the ground to thank the emperor for his wisdom, and when everyone had left, the young official took a sip of water and calmed down his excitement. They were not promoted, because they were afraid that they would not hear clearly because they were too excited. The young official read the imperial decree several times, and when he found out by mistake, he was resisted by the emperor again.

☆. Negotiate conditions with the emperor

Five days later, sweet potatoes were dug out first, and the whole city cheered. Sweet potatoes were planted all over the mountains and all over the ground, even the sandy land by the river was not spared. The sweet potato leaves had been eaten long ago. Washed without peeling, everyone gnawed a few in the ground first, and then they had the strength to continue digging.

In the evening, the avenue from Fugui City to Fugui Village is full of fires, everyone dances and laughs around the fire, the roasted sweet potatoes are fragrant and tempting, the children are playing with sweet potatoes, laughing constantly, crazy All night, starting from the second day, everyone was busy with the autumn harvest, and they didn't eat sweet potatoes by themselves. They took the collar city to exchange for wild vegetables and other cheap food, just to get more rations.

It's time for the hungry people to go back. Everyone carries a big bag of grain in their hands, and each family still has a piece of meat. The whole winter grows slowly. Without meat, they can't survive the winter. They don't have any meat left on them. The villagers hugged and cried with the city residents. After a few months of getting along, they had already developed a deep relationship. The officer asked the officers and soldiers to escort them all the way back. They brought some sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and rice. They can grow more in the next spring when they go home. Everyone has learned how to order food, dried wild vegetables and sauerkraut, and also learned a lot about other foods. Instead of despair, everyone is full of hope for the future. It's up to them.

A team of troops has been secretly escorting them. There were many bandits along the way, and they were even cleared away. The old man sent the last batch of hungry people away. He sighed deeply. There were five more children in the family. Holding the baby and waving to everyone, there are two hundred children left in the newly built school, none of whom have family members. The official has no choice but to accept them, and finds Ah Niu hoping to put these children in the school in Fugui Village. Ah Niu said with a headache : "There is no money in the account of the school, and it can't even afford lunch. Two hundred children are crammed in at once. What do you let them eat?"

The official was sitting on the chair and was about to cry: "The emperor gave me an imperial decree, but I didn't see a single coin. I really can't get the money out, and I can't let these children go home. This seems to be very fast. It’s almost winter, won’t you freeze to death?”

A Niu said coldly: "Pull it into the school, more children will starve to death, I don't agree."

Master Guan couldn't sit still anymore, squeezed his tears and said: "I really have nothing to do. It's not appropriate to put these children. After thinking about it, I can survive in Fugui Village. How about I give more money to you?" The school builds a few houses, the wood is on the mountain, and in the officers’ and soldiers’ mansions, so this is all I can do.”

Ah Niu was unmoved, and the official had no choice but to say: "If you have any conditions, tell me."

A Niu threw out the blueprint, a brand new school that can accommodate [-] students, more than double the original school, and the land developed around Fugui Village will be included in Fugui Village, and the government will pay a sum of money every year To make up for the expenses of the school, the commercial tax is exempted for half a year. In the future, if students sent by the government will have to pay tuition fees, the tuition can be paid less, but the school will not accept students sent by the government for free.

The official's face turned dark, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak when he pointed at A Niu. He turned around to find the old man, scolded A Niu with a bitter face, and Tang Pin sat beside him, applauding A Niu in his heart, doing good.

Pointing to a group of children behind him, the old man was really crying for the official to see, and wiped his tears and said: "My lord, the old man can't say anything, this house is full of children, with more than a dozen mouths open waiting for food. When growing up, my daughter was still holding a baby in her hand, and she couldn't even eat milk. Poor, the dolls are all skinny and skinny. When did the doll suffer this hardship? Back then, she ran to the wilderness for the big guy to survive the winter To transport food, the baby was not allowed to suffer these hardships when he came back. Now, for the sake of 20 hungry people, the baby has stayed in the wild country for several months. Every night when the old man sleeps, he dreams that the baby is bullied by wild people. I worry about the baby all the time, now that the hungry people have gone back, and before the family has eaten a mouthful of hot porridge, another two hundred children are stuffed in, two hundred, not two children, sir, why don't you take the old man with us Get out of Fugui City, I can't live anymore."

Master Guan: "..."

Originally women were not allowed to come out to meet guests, and a person like the official had to be a parent to come out to greet him, and he couldn't look directly at the official, so he would be arrested and put in prison, but the girl's status is not the same as before. It's the same, who in the ten miles and eight villages doesn't know my aunt's medical skills?Among the starving people this time, my aunt has healed no less than a thousand people, and she was the first to stand up for relief. Among the women, my aunt now has a high status. In addition, there are A Niu and Tang Pin at home, and my aunt has The aunt patted the baby and cried: "I keep a little rice at home to feed the baby. How long has it been since I have seen rice? Even the sweet potatoes are not available at home. It is better to eat them." I was eating wild vegetable soup, and the gentlemen in the school fainted several times from hunger. Dad had to look after a large group of students, and there were still a group of children at home. There is no one who cooks, and these two hundred children are sent here, is it for us to hug each other and starve to death?"

The official has a big head, and the mess can't be thrown away. The official does not have the right to agree to the conditions of A Niu. The commercial tax is exempted for half a year. The emperor's decree didn't mention it, and a sum of money is required every year. This is a terrible request. The master put his last hope on Tang Pin, and turned his head to look at Tang Pin with a bitter face.

"My lord puts all his heart and soul into the city of prosperity and contributes money and efforts. How hungry are you?" Tang Pin said: "Now that the problem is solved, there are no promotions and no rewards, and there are still a group of children left behind. Everyone must be considerate. How about it, my lord Now that there are few children in the family, why don’t we take dozens of them home to raise them, and when the school collects tuition fees next year, the adults will send the children to school, and only pay for lunch, which won’t cost much money.”

The official was desperate, turned around and went back angrily, and decided to negotiate terms with the emperor. This child cannot be supported by Fugui City, and the letter was delivered quickly. The emperor carefully read the nonsense document compiled by the official, and finally saw The point is, if you want money, the emperor casually throws away the paperwork, and there are piles of paperwork on the ground, all of which ask for money, and the official wants money for two hundred children, so picking one here is more important than two Hundreds of children.

The queen walked over lightly on lotus steps, picked up the official's document, read it for a while, and said, "Why didn't the emperor agree, the emperor wants money and land to be exempted from tax, yes, but the court will not send money over, the country is big It is difficult to be relieved by Fugui City, this is a great kindness, the emperor did not pay a tael of silver, won the hearts of the people, and kept the world, so he should reward them with some benefits."

The emperor stopped the pen in his hand and said: "There are constant wars on the edge, how can I not want to thank them, this Tang Dynasty can be regarded as their protection for me, 20 hungry people, even the imperial court can't help, it's not an exaggeration to appoint a marquis and an official , but now everyone is stretching out their hands to ask me for money, if I open this mouth, how can I explain to the next people."

The queen laughed and said: "The emperor does not promise to give money, but only agrees to ask. If 20 hungry people have been rescued, can they not even rescue two children? They want the emperor to remember this kindness. Take two hundred children as an example." The conditions are not too much, so why don't the emperor agree to the matter."

The emperor patted the table and said: "If everyone in the world is like Fugui City, I will laugh in my dreams. The queen will see, what kind of civil turmoil are the noble ministers at this time? There are more than 30 people, and 500 people were bullied by strangers. This is all in the past few months. When the hungry people in Datang could not be relieved, they caused trouble in the chaos. They were all around Fugui City. Now the hungry people have been relieved , but the internal strife is uncertain, the foreign enemies will not retreat, and the treasury has never had money. I want Fugui City to help again, and pay a little more tax next year to repel the foreign enemies. After the internal strife is settled, I can talk about a rich country."

The queen frowned and said: "Could you be too cruel to them? If Mo Xing is dissatisfied with the emperor, then someone with a heart will cause trouble, which will not be good for the emperor or Datang."

The emperor shook his head and said: "No, the emperor is here, and there is Tang Pin. The magistrate is a rare good official. The submission of the commercial tax has given me a glimmer of hope. There are always surprises in Fugui City. People in the world have seen hope, and I have also seen hope, so please agree to the emperor's request, but the money given to the school will be replenished when the court has money, and now, do not send any documents that ask for money."

The official received the emperor
