Tang's dining table

There were many, many princesses in the Tang Dynasty, thanks to the efforts of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong.

Especially Emperor Gaozu, since he was imprisoned in Taiji Palace by Emperor Taizong, he has demonstrated the extremely huge fertility capacity of human beings.

In the ten years from the Xuanwumen Incident to the death of Emperor Gaozu in the ninth year of Zhenguan, he left a total of thirty younger brothers and sisters to Emperor Taizong.

Of course, Emperor Taizong was no less generous. He left Li Zhi with a total of twenty-one sisters in his life.

Perhaps it was because he had so many sisters and aunts that Li Zhi, except for Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang, treated the rest of his aunts and sisters in general terms.

Unfortunately, Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang died when she was twelve years old. In grief and anger, Li Zhi, who was originally silent and cowardly, once shouted at Gao Yang and other princesses, why they were not the ones who died.

Therefore, the Princess of Tang Dynasty is not valuable to Li Zhi.

Those who are worthless in front of the emperor are worthless. In the eyes of the common people, a large number of princesses in Wuyangyang of the Tang Dynasty are great people.

They were granted so many lands that even in a small county like Yanshi County, there were many properties belonging to the princess.

Xue Changfeng felt that since the emperor wanted to attack the local tycoons, he should treat them equally and kill all the local tycoons. This would be in line with the emperor's original intention of doing things. He should not only attack irrelevant people but not the royal family.

This is so unfair.

Throughout his life, Xue Changfeng valued fairness the most.

So, while Yin Erhu was busy taking care of the soft little baby girl, Xue Changfeng led the remaining 11 groups of people to loot the wealthy families in Yanshi County who had been deliberately left behind by the rogues.

Compared with those rioters, they were very organized and disciplined. They first killed the thugs who were guarding the homes of these people, then politely invited the owners out, and then hung them up with whips or red-hot irons. Ask about the money and food that their family has hidden.

Then he took away the money, threw the food into the wilderness, burned the land deeds and IOUs, and finally burned the other person's house on fire, then fled into the wilderness and disappeared without a trace.

Although it is the wilderness in the cold winter, there are still some people who have experienced the government's excessive taxation and have no food and clothing. They are looking for grass roots. As a result, they can always find bags of food when they are the hungriest...

Xue Changfeng only spent four days doing these things.

When he returned to the inn called Dongyang, Yin Erhu had already cheered up the dying little baby girl.

Now, he was lying in Yin Erhu's arms, kicking his calves to exercise.

When Xue Changfeng came back, Yin Erhu handed the baby girl to a wet nurse he had specially found. Not only was this wet nurse tall and fit, but the two granaries were as plump and plump as Luoyang's Hanjiacang.

Even Xue Changfeng, who had never been interested in women, couldn't help but take a second look at the wet nurse.

"Where did you find such an ugly wet nurse?"

Yin Erhu asked strangely: "Why does the wet nurse want to be so beautiful?"

Xue Changfeng nodded and said: "You are right."

"How did things go?"

"It's done, it went smoothly."

"That's fine. However, you did this privately and it has nothing to do with me. If the Lord holds me accountable, you will be responsible."

"That means the Lord won't be too harsh, right?"

Yin Erhu sighed and said: "There is a two-story building in Xingqingfang that has been vacant. It belongs to you. You can move in after returning to Chang'an. However, there is a prerequisite that you must marry a wife."

"How much is that small building worth?"

Yin Erhu thought for a while and said: "Because it is close to Xingqing Palace, the houses there are only for purchase, not for sale. The price is hard to say. Anyway, when Xingqingfang was expanded, there were no houses there, so they basically disappeared."

"There is no business? That area used to be populated by poor people. There will always be people who are greedy for money, right?"

Yin Erhu glanced at Xue Changfeng and said: "The land deed there and the house deed have been locked up by the government for five years, and they can only be traded after five years."

Xue Changfeng said: "The government is forcing the people to get rich?"

Yin Erhu glanced at Xue Changfeng and said: "So, don't regard all officials as silverfish. After all, there are some who worry about the people."

Xue Changfeng pondered for a moment and said: "Is our Lord also such a person?"

Yin Erhu said with a smile: "For a person who can make me tell the mass grave incident as a joke, I will die for him without any hesitation.

You used to say that our brothers can exchange their lives. Now I give you a chance to give your life to the Lord. Even if He wants you to die, you will feel that your death is worthy and valuable. "

"Why are you talking about these things?"

Yin Erhu sighed and said: "Because the Lord said that you were born for troubled times. The more chaotic the situation, the more proud you will be. Therefore, you are going to Hebei and take on the big responsibility yourself."

Xue Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Should I go by myself?"

Yin Erhu shook his head and said: "When you arrive in Youzhou, there will be two disgusting slave traders looking for you. Hang out with them for a while, and when the people from Daxing City arrive, kill the slave traders and replace them."

Xue Changfeng said excitedly: "I have the final say?"

Yin Erhu put his hands on his shoulders and said, "Don't betray the Lord's trust."

Xue Changfeng got a bottle of wine and a plate of fried beans, and the two of them faced Gan La.

It's not that the two of them don't like to eat and drink, but it's because all the shopkeepers of Dongyang Inn ran away.

The two of them didn't talk much. They spent more time eating beans than talking. Just when Yin Erhu ate the last bean, a lively sound of gongs and drums came from the window.

"I am Princess An Ding of the Tang Dynasty. I came to Yanshi because I heard that you are suffering. I want you to live a good life, but before that, you should trust me...

In order to make you believe me, I brought you cheap food and cheap linen. I will never earn you a penny. I just want you to have a full stomach and spend this cold winter...

I also built a porridge shed outside Yanshi City. As long as you are hungry, you can go and eat, even if you bring a mother-in-law doll, aye, a mother-in-law...

Remember, I am Princess An Ding of the Tang Dynasty. I am not here to harm you, but to help you..."

Hearing the crisp female voice outside, Xue Changfeng remained unmoved at all and just said to Yin Erhu: "Let me kill this cheap maid before I go to Youzhou."

Yin Erhu chewed the last bean and said casually: "What if we really come to help the people of Yanshi County?"

Xue Changfeng said: "Do you believe this?"

Yin Erhu picked up the wine glass and touched it with Xue Changfeng and said, "You have to believe what you should believe."

Xue Changfeng pricked up his ears and continued to listen, when he heard the female voice outside continuing to make noise.

"I opened a pawn shop. As long as you believe me, you can pawn anything. You will definitely pay a high price. The redemption time is after next summer's harvest. The interest is not high, only 20%..."

Hearing what the female voice said, Xue Changfeng couldn't sit still anymore. He pressed the handle of the horizontal knife with one hand and said, "This is so shameless."

Yin Erhu poured out the last few drops of strong liquor from the bottle and sucked it into his stomach with a few squeaks.

Then he held Xue Changfeng's hand and said, "Look more. Don't always think that all crows in the world are black. I saw a white crow in the mass grave, and it was the leader among crows."

The sound of gongs and drums gradually approached, and Xue Changfeng could see a group of women wearing tattered clothes without looking around, each carrying a colorful silk flag, followed by several skinny men, beating gongs and drums, and shouting incomprehensible words. Walking downstairs in Dongyang.

Xue Changfeng released his grip on the handle of the knife and sadly grabbed the wine bottle, only to find that there was not a drop of wine in it.

"We just robbed a princess of all her family property, and another princess came after smelling the smell. There are endless princesses in this world, endless slaughter of evil thieves, two tigers, we brothers are not as good as..."

Before he finished speaking, Yin Erhu's big hand fell on his head again. This slap was so hard that Xue Changfeng's face hit the table hard.

"During the late Sui Dynasty, there were thirty-six ways to rebel against the king, and seventy-two puffs of smoke, which turned the otherwise viable world into a mess.

Among these 108 heroes, there may not be heroes who want to save all people from fire and water just like you.

What a pity. Do you know how many people died in this battle? "

Xue Changfeng said angrily: "This breath of bad breath cannot come out, and my chest is uneven."

Yin Erhu took off the wine bottle from his waist, unscrewed the lid and poured Xue Changfeng a cup of pure antiseptic that was not mixed with water. He touched the cup with him and drank it all in one breath. The hot wine liquid condensed into a line of fire in his throat and went straight into his stomach. .

After taking a breath of alcohol, he continued: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, in the fifth year of the Great Cause, the population of this land was 50.23 million. In the early years of Zhenguan, when the world was settled, the population of this land was , only fifteen million.

Changfeng, tell me, where have the other 35 million people gone? Do you want to kill so many people again, and disperse so many people, just for the sake of taking such a breath?

Furthermore, even if you become the emperor, can you guarantee that you will do better than the current emperor?

Can you guarantee that your daughter will not look like these Tang princesses?

Stop thinking nonsense, you can't change anything, just your temper, the world will only get worse after you take office. "

Xue Changfeng didn't speak for a long time. Seeing the contempt in Yin Erhu's eyes, he sighed and said, "Are we not going to do anything?"

Yin Erhu smiled and said: "Aren't you doing what you should do? At least it makes the current situation in Yanshi County look more fair."

"Don't you want to do something?"

Yin Erhu looked at the little baby girl in the arms of the extremely ugly wet nurse and said, "I want to take care of that child."

"That's it?"

"Isn't this enough? If everyone was as kind as me, how could there be so much shit in the world.

The journey to the great road begins with a single step. "

"Hey, why would you say such a thing?"

After Yin Erhu took another sip of wine to spit out the smell, he said softly: "This is what the Lord said. He also said that today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow is better than today. After making progress every day, everything will be better.

Take the Yanshi County in front of you, for example. When you return from Hebei, you will see a peaceful and happy Yanshi County. "

Xue Changfeng looked at Yin Erhu blankly. After a moment, he picked up the horizontal knife and said to Yin Erhu: "I'm leaving, going to Youzhou."

Yin Erhu screwed on the lid of the wine bottle, threw it to Xue Changfeng and said, "Be careful along the way."

Xue Changfeng left the Dongyang Inn with the wine bottle in his arms. A moment later, Yin Erhu heard a series of distant horse hooves.

He sighed and wanted to drink more wine, but found that the glass was empty.

At this time, the door to the room opened, and a cold wind rushed into the room. Yin Erhu frowned slightly, and just before he got angry, he saw a young boy with a round head coming in with a smile.

Yin Erhu stood up suddenly, and before he could salute, he saw Yun Jin on the opposite side cupping his hands and saying: "Uncle Erhu, I, Aye, said that the safety of the four of us will fall on you."

Yin Erhu looked around and said in a trembling voice: "How can this be done?"

Yun Jin smiled and said: "Aye said that as long as you are here, everything will be fine."

Yin Erhu saluted and said, "The Lord thinks highly of Erhu."

Yun Jin said with some embarrassment: "Aniang said that if there is a problem with any of the four of us, she will personally twist off your dog's head."

Yin Erhu smiled slightly, pointed at the empty Dongyang Inn and said, "Young Master, you might as well stay here."

Yun Jin shook her head and said, "We can't live here. Sisi wants to win people's hearts and build a model area here. I want to help her."

Yin Erhu was stunned for a moment and said: "What is a model area?"

Yun Jin smiled and said: "Visitants help each other!"
