The sun had just risen, and the temperature outside had risen. When Ye Tan got up too, he saw that the people in the Governor's Mansion had already gotten up, but these people were all gathered around the kitchen, and occasionally heard Mo Xiaoyu's arrogant tone.

, I knew this kid was showing off again, but it didn't matter. Li Chengqian didn't eat well during this period, so just think of it as giving him face.

After getting up, I washed my face, then walked around the flower gallery, and saw Shi Laiwen leading a group of people busy in the pavilion, looking thirsty.

Ye Tan wanted to leave directly and go elsewhere, but the sharp-eyed Shi Laiwen saw it and shouted directly, "Ye Hou, come here."

There was a group of people around him. When they heard what he said, they couldn't help but look over. They had heard of such a person for a long time, but they didn't expect him to be so young. Unless they were those who inherited the title since childhood, this Marquis

His abilities are not small, especially the plans Shi Laiwen showed them, which were tailor-made for Tongzhou, so everyone looked at him with puzzled and curious eyes.

He had no choice but to scratch his head and walk over. He was about to say that he would eat for a while. But when he was discussing what to do, he was pulled by a man with a poor look on his face and said directly, "Yehou, you are here, I am here."

I have some questions for you and I wonder if you can answer them?"

Although the tone is questioning, you are holding my sleeve and not letting go. What do you mean?

"Bie Han, it doesn't have to be like this, right?" Ye Tan wasn't used to a man pulling his sleeves, especially when the man's face was covered with eye droppings. He just shook his head and found a seat to sit down.

.

"Why not? It will be time to give out porridge every day in a while. If there is no food today, we will be in trouble then. They will definitely destroy the Governor's Mansion." Han Biejia said with a serious face. It seemed that

People who really think about the people, because if you are like this, it will not only be the government, but also the people who will be unlucky. When there is not enough to eat, people have no sense, and they will not be able to rely only on those strange ideas.

Ways to get real stability.

"Prince Shi, can you all go wash your faces? I really can't bear the tiredness on your faces. How about we talk about it during dinner?" Ye Tan felt really uncomfortable sitting there, smelling a strange smell.

Come on, plus it’s summer, I haven’t slept all night, and the smelly sweat is accumulated all over my body. Needless to say, how will it feel?

Master Jiang saw that Ye Tan's nose seemed to be about to spurt out at any moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Ye Hou, do you blame us for being too dirty?"

Master Jiang is a tall and thin man. One look at his appearance and you can tell that he has not lived a very good life. There are holes in his clothes. But why would a staff member behave like this? It is really strange.

According to normal logic, this is to tell you that you shouldn't mind, but now Ye Tan doesn't care about these things or these people at all. He nodded, "Originally, I didn't want to say it.

Yes, now that Mr. Jiang has said it, you should go and wash up, otherwise I won’t be able to eat for a while, my mind won’t move fast, and it will be bad if I delay everyone’s business.”

In one sentence, he offended a group of people, but Ye Tan didn't care, because these people all needed to rely on him, so why should he give these people too much face?

Looking at several of his subordinates with bad expressions, Shi Laiwen knew that he could not offend Ye Tan, nor could he offend his subordinates. However, after half a night of hard work, he was indeed a little tired now, so he greeted

, "What Ye Hou said makes some sense. Everyone is quite tired. Let's go take a bath now. Dinner will be served in a while. I heard it is Songzhou's delicacy."

Several other people turned around and left with bad expressions. Only one Mr. Sun seemed to be very interested in Ye Tan. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Songzhou's delicious food, I must come over and try it."

After they left, it took a while before the air around them could be breathable.

After a while, Li Chengqian walked out of the guest room of the Governor's Mansion. He was still a little confused at first, but when he saw Ye Tan sitting in the pavilion, he ran over, found a place to sit down, and said with a smile, "Brother.

Got up so early."

"Are you exhausted last night?" Ye Tan asked casually. Although this boy is young, he has a strong desire to serve his country. He was angry for a while, and then slowly calmed down.

Ye Tan fell asleep after washing up. Ye Tan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. In history, people who were very stable from childhood were usually perverts. How could a normal person mature all of a sudden? They all thought it was him.

of people?

"A little, but I feel much better today. It's just that it's really hot here." After Li Chengqian said this, he realized that although his clothes were not soaked, he was still very uncomfortable, so he stood up and walked out and said, "Brother,

You take a rest first, and I'll take a bath."

Seeing his embarrassed appearance when he left, Ye Tan couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, he is still a child."

After a while, when Shi Laiwen and others came over, Mo Xiaoyu started to prepare food. When the fried buns were served, Han Biejia said a little embarrassed, "Master Hou, is this a bit too extravagant?"

It’s not that fat didn’t exist in the Tang Dynasty. It’s just that you just add a little to the food when you eat. After all, stews and the like are still the mainstream now. There are still very few people who eat like Chang’an and Songzhou. But at the same time,

The state is an excellent place.

"Eat it first, we'll talk about it after you finish it." Ye Tan took a bun and took a bite. He found that it was very fragrant. It seemed that the vegetables tasted pretty good. Although Han Biejia opposite felt that it was a waste, he still wanted to eat.

It was the most ferocious when he was eating. Shi Laiwen only ate one, but he ate three. He didn’t know why his tongue was not afraid of being burned. With the pickles that are available all over the country and some other foods that are not lacking in this season

Shredded radish, great taste.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Ye Tan drank a bowl of porridge. The weather was hot and he had no appetite. However, Shi Laiwen and the others were like starving ghosts reincarnated, eating one basket after another. If it hadn't been for Mo Xiaoyu before

I had been mentally prepared like this when I was in Qinzhou, and I was already frightened. Li Chengqian didn't have much of an appetite at first, but seeing everyone else having such a good appetite, he ate a few more bites.

When the hot tea was served, Han Biejia looked disgusting after taking a sip and was reluctant to swallow it, but it also showed that this person is really honest. Otherwise, with his means, it would not be difficult to obtain these things, and

I was able to eat Songzhou delicacies when I was in Liu Mansion, which shows how big the gap between the two is.

"It's funny, it's funny, I'm full." Shi Laiwen said a little embarrassedly after eating the five-long buns. The same was true for several other people. After all, they are officials of a country, but this behavior is really not like that.

Yes, those who don’t know better would think that all the officials of the Tang Dynasty were hungry.

"It's okay, everyone, does this taste really good?" Ye Tan asked with a smile. Although their behavior just now had already proved this, he still had to ask.

"That's right, Ye Hou, did you eat like this when you were in Chang'an? Your life is really enviable?" Mr. Sun said enviously. This man is a strange person. The strangeness lies in his clothes.

The wind is light and the clouds are calm, but the movements when eating are not like it.

"Mr. Sun is not from the government?" Ye Tan asked curiously, this person should be someone from the Yinmen or something like that.

"Marquis Ye should have figured it out a long time ago. Yes, I came from the Hidden Sect. However, I have been out for more than 20 years and I have long forgotten the way back." Mr. Sun said this, and everyone seemed to have no idea.

It's not surprising at all, it seems he knows.

"Don't worry, I won't let Tian Xiangzi exploit your family. I'm just asking casually. I wonder what Mr. Sun thinks of my plan?" Ye Tan's words made him breathe a sigh of relief, even though he was no longer at Yinmen.

, but he knew what happened recently. Ye Tan was really ruthless. He asked Tian Xiangzi to find someone to kill some people, and many families were exterminated. Such ruthless methods were used to deal with those people.

The Hidden Sect is okay, because that's how they exist, but if it's dealing with people in the countryside, it may not work.

Mr. Sun clarified his thoughts and then said, "Ye Hou's method is naturally excellent, but what if one point is not opened?"

"Well, it's just a trivial matter. I would rather the Tang Dynasty's land grows grass somewhere, rather than let them become the land of a big family and grow food."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Sun's expression changed. Sure enough, he still planned to use thunderous means to do these things, but it was really very dangerous.

"Marquis Ye, is it really necessary?" As soon as Mr. Sun finished speaking, he heard the voice of the butler at the door, "Master, Master, it's not good."

Shi Laiwen frowned and looked at the usually steady butler and said, "What's the matter?"

"It's time to give out porridge every day, but there is no porridge in the porridge shed. Now many people are gathering near the porridge shed. It seems they are planning to come to the Governor's Mansion." The steward's words made the remaining people look pale.

Things have changed. If there is a civil unrest, it will be troublesome.

"It's okay, let's go and take a look." Ye Tan said with a smile, and then Shi Laiwen led everyone towards the porridge shed. Many people looked at him with unkind eyes along the way.

By the time a few people arrived at the porridge shed, the temporary shed made of thatch and wood had long disappeared. The messy footprints on the ground and the angry crowd were being deceived by a few people to come out to look for trouble. Finally, a policeman shouted

, "The governor is here."

As soon as everyone heard this, they all looked at Shi Laiwen, but one of the people who had just taken the lead hid, but he couldn't escape Ye Tan's eyes.

"Why are you doing this?" Shi Laiwen couldn't help but ask, are these people really planning to rebel?

No one answered, they just looked at each other. After Shi Laiwen asked three times, an old man came over and bowed tremblingly, saying, "Master Governor, I wonder why there is no porridge today?"

Shi Laiwen looked at a few people standing not far away. Their clothes were intact. Although they were made of the lowest quality fabrics, they were still not suitable for ordinary people to wear. These people should be those who deliberately stir up trouble.

"Who are you?" Shi Laiwen asked. This old man should not be the person he was looking for.

"The old man is Wang Daniu, a villager from Erwang Village, Pucheng County, Tongzhou." This villager's name is quite good and very impressive.

"You are from Pucheng, why are you in Tongzhou?" Shi Laiwen couldn't help but ask, because porridge is available all over Tongzhou.

Since ancient times, "Erhuaguan Weishui, three cities facing Heyang", the three cities include Hancheng, Chengcheng, and Pucheng, among which Pucheng is included. Due to the special environment, and the emergence of many other cities in history,

Celebrities, such as Wang Ding who spoke with blood, are from here. It can be said to be the hometown of generals. Although the population is not large, the land is large and the geographical environment is superior. In modern terms, Shaanxi is the number one producer of grain.

What about big counties?

As a result, such people actually came to Tongzhou to look for food, which shows that the situation is very dangerous.

"The old man's family had thirty acres of fertile land, but later his mother got sick and sold five acres. The mother still went there. Later, the child also fell ill, so they sold ten acres of land. Unfortunately, there was still no way for the child to survive.

, Later, my grandson also became ill, and the family's fields were gone, and there was no food, so he had to go out." Wang Daniu's words were full of helplessness and numbness, which is a common phenomenon.

"Who did you sell your fields to?" Shi Laiwen continued to ask, and the people around him seemed to be quiet. Listening to the conversation between the two, the person who was just there to confuse others was a little anxious.

"Sold to Wang Xiao's family, another landlord in Erwang Village." When Wang Daniu said this, he was not angry at all, because although Wang Xiao bought his own land, he did not get any more benefits.

"Oh. Then why don't you ask for food in Pucheng? The governor has ordered that all cities must provide porridge?" Shi Laiwen remembered that the county magistrate of Pucheng was called Liu Zihou. He was a kind man and he usually behaved very well.

is.

"I don't blame the county magistrate. Although the land in Pucheng is good, after the wars in the past few years and the subsequent population migration, there are not many people left. Naturally, there is not much food. There is no one to cultivate the land."

This problem is indeed a big one. In the early Tang Dynasty, the population was only more than nine million. In many places, there were only women, so there was a joke. If you only have one wife, the government officials will not

If you are not happy, you will be happy if you have more. Why is this? Because in this way, you can have more children. Maybe our current thinking that everything will be fine if you have children is left over from that time.

"Oh? Then why did you demolish this shed today?" Shi Laiwen is very capable, and he is very skilled in using this kind of frame-up behavior.

"This." Wang Daniu was a little embarrassed, but he still planned to say it, "The little old man heard that there will be no porridge today, so he was just angry for a moment."

When he said this, he looked into Shi Laiwen's eyes and said it in order to make him change his words.

"Yes, this is what the governor requested."

As soon as Shi Laiwen finished speaking, the originally quiet scene suddenly became noisy.
