“Every time there is a disaster, many people who could have been able to support themselves would lose their homes. The fields that could have supported the family would be taken away by the rich in exchange for a little grain. The houses that could have provided shelter for the family would also be lost.
They will be taken away by rich people. The cattle that farmers originally regarded as their family members and their lives will also be taken away by rich people. In many cases, rich people will not even let go of the watchdogs of poor people...
The poor people who have sold their land, houses, cattle, and guard dogs are always hungry. When they have no property to sell, they start selling their children, daughters, and wives. After they have nothing, they can only sell themselves to make money.
The servant of the rich family...
There are not many opportunities for rich people to make a fortune in peaceful times. However, whenever there is a big disaster, countless rich people with well-dressed and well-fed people will appear in the countryside.
The reason why these people became rich was not because they suddenly created a new path to wealth, but because they took the wealth of many rural farmers who could have been self-sufficient at a low price. After the disaster passed and everything returned to its original state,
, they naturally became rich..."
Chunyu was a woman with extensive knowledge, and she came from a family that cultivated and studied in the countryside.
She knows very clearly about the changes in the lives of the people in the countryside. Now that she has spoken out about it, it is naturally insightful and thought-provoking.
Li Si held his rice bowl and finished the noodles with his head down. After cleaning himself carefully, he looked up at Yu Xiurong and said: "I thought the way to make money in business was to make delicious food, make warm quilts, and build beautiful houses.
Come up with something good that others can't think of or can't do, and then sell it at a high price..."
Yu Xiurong smiled and stroked Li Si's smooth face and said, "Our family is like this. Your master often says not to make money in the world. The business you see in our family, whether it is anti-virus drugs or quilts, Jinchangfang Grand
Canteens and market renovations are all good and honest businesses.
Therefore, the food and drinks you spent in Yun's were all clean money. You were raised by your mother with clean money and clean food since you were a child, and there is no trace of blood.
My mother just wants to raise a clean little girl with clean money and food. Such a child will be blessed by God and will be safe and happy throughout his life."
Li Si raised his head from Yu Xiurong's arms and said through gritted teeth, "Mom, am I richer than those rich people in the countryside?"
Yu Xiurong said: "Yes, even if you don't have enough money, your father, mother, and prince brother have collected the money and food that your father, mother, and prince brother have given you over the years. Of course, you are richer than them."
Li Si showed a sinister smile to Yu Xiurong and said, "If I go to Yanshi and stabilize the prices of all materials there, what will happen?"
Cui Yao said with a smile: "People who originally needed to sell ten acres of land to survive now only need to sell two acres to survive the famine. People who originally needed to sell cattle to survive can now just sell a donkey.
… As for families who sell their sons and daughters, perhaps they only need to sell their daughters to survive the famine.”
Li Si took a long breath and said: "That's good, that's good. I'll go to Yanshi County for the next game.
But before that, I have to meet someone."
Ms. Cui smiled and said, "Who are you going to see?"
Li Si covered his mouth and smiled: "Young Master."
Yu Xiurong burst out laughing, smoothed Li Sili's messy hair, patted her on the back and said, "Respecting teachers and teaching is a virtue of the Yun family, which must not be violated."
Li Si nodded heavily and ran out.
Cui Yao said to Yu Xiurong thoughtfully: "Does the Yun family really respect teachers and Taoism?"
Yu Xiurong said: "You are almost the master of the Yun family, and you still say that the Yun family does not respect teachers and ethics?"
Cui Yao pouted and said, "I just feel that Junhou's teacher Li Yifu is a little miserable now."
Cui said: "After Li Yifu was imprisoned, the king sent people to bring him quilts and food.
I also gave some bribes to the jailers, hoping that they would treat Li Yifu better and not abuse him."
Cui Yao sneered and said: "If one day I am sent to prison, don't give me quilts or food, but remember to give me a pack of the most poisonous poison."
Yu Xiurong raised his hand and pinched Cui Yao's plump buttocks and said, "Okay, why are you so crazy?"
Mrs. Chunyu looked at Cui Yao being pinched by Yu Xiurong. She didn't have the grace of a noble lady and was extremely rude. For some reason, she felt a little bit of envy in her heart.
The white snow fell to the ground and after it melted, a cold wind blew and quickly formed a thin layer of ice on the surface of the earth.
Yin Erhu and Xue Changfeng, who had just escaped from the crowd, crunched through the thin ice shell and came to take shelter from the wind behind an old willow tree that few people could hug.
Xue Changfeng looked at the crowd of people leaving with envy and said to Yin Erhu: "I like doing things in such a lawless way."
Yin Erhu said: "Don't even think about it."
Xue Changfeng said: "If you didn't follow me, I would already be a hero here and now."
Yin Erhu said: "If you really did this, believe me, you will be dead by this time, and I am looking for your bones everywhere and want to build a tomb for you."
"With the talents of you and I, brothers, it's not difficult to break out of the chaos and break out."
"It's very difficult. You just raised the flag to rebel, and the next moment you were reported on, and then you were killed."
"You always get so depressed when you think about things."
"From the time I was thrown into a mass grave by my family to feed wild dogs, I no longer had any trust in the people in the countryside. At that time, I was betrayed by others for a few strings of money, or for some grain.
It seems that our brothers are worthless at all. When we are finally cut to pieces by the officials, we will be watched by groups of villagers. You know, they like to watch killings. The more miserable the death, the more miserable they will be.
The happier I am...and they are all happy whether they kill you or me, there is no difference."
Xue Changfeng clicked his tongue and said, "Where did you get these insights?"
Yin Erhu said: "On the mass grave, a crow landed on my face and wanted to peck out my eyeballs. I caught him and I figured it out while drinking the crow's blood."
As Yin Erhu spoke, he punched the ancient willow next to him.
The ancient willow rattled as it was hit by the punch, and immediately, a weak cry of a baby came from the trunk.
Yin Erhu was startled. He clicked the old willow tree with his finger and said to Xue Changfeng, who was also surprised: "The old willow tree has become a spirit."
However, Xue Changfeng jumped onto the branch of the old willow tree, and then got into the tree hole. After a while, he came out from the tree hole holding a baby.
The baby was plump, white, and beautiful. She was a baby girl. Judging from the silk-covered swaddling clothes, she belonged to a wealthy family.
"There is a woman inside, but she is already dead. This tree hole works well as a coffin, so I didn't move it."
Yin Erhu had experience in raising children. After holding the child, he looked at it, took off his underwear, and changed the child into a new diaper. The child was only five months old. He was still crying probably because he was hungry.
, Yin Erhu took out a candy bar, put it to the child's mouth and let her lick it.
A child fell from the sky, which did not surprise Yin Erhu and Xue Changfeng. Less than five miles away, the group of people who had just passed by robbed Zhang Ren, a wealthy man in the village.
They ate and drank at Zhang Ren's house for five days before setting a fire before leaving.
Yin Erhu saw clearly that all the men of the Zhang family were hung neatly on the trees, while the women of the family were hung on the beams in disheveled clothes. The food was eaten up by these people, and the money was divided among the leaders.
As for the animals, they were all taken away by those people.
Judging from Xue Changfeng's records, Zhang Ren's family had a total of 4,780 acres of land. There were also two shops in the city, one selling salt and one selling silk. The family was very well off.
This little girl should be a little girl from the Zhang family. She was hugged by her mother and fled the Zhang family in panic. She hid in this tree hole. As a result, she was not wearing thick clothes when she came out. When Xue Changfeng saw the woman, she was covered in blood.
It was green and frozen hard by the wind and snow.
Yin Erhu put the child in his fur coat and said to Xue Changfeng: "Go and bring the horse over, and the two of us will go into the city."
Xue Changfeng pointed at the little girl in his arms and said, "Do you plan to raise it yourself?"
Yin Erhu said: "Xiu Niang is pregnant, probably a boy. After we return to Chang'an, the child should be born, so we can raise this child together.
Anyway, they are all shit-eating babies who don’t know anything. From now on, they will be my babies. They will be raised carelessly for more than ten years, find a man to marry, and drink with their daughters every year. This business can be done."
Xue Changfeng said: "My Lord's mission did not say that you should adopt a little girl for your own benefit."
Yin Erhu smiled and said: "In the mission given by the Lord, he did not say that I would not be allowed to save this little girl."
Xue Changfeng roared angrily: "At first, I thought your lord was a sinister, cunning and ferocious person. After running away for several years and coming back, I saw that you were not dead, so I thought your lord was also a person who valued love and righteousness.
Seniors, I feel that working under such people should be smooth and smooth, and they should be able to accomplish great things.
Unexpectedly, you have been like bats in the night all day long. You have never done anything interesting seriously and you have lost so many heroes and so much money and food in vain..."
Before he finished speaking, Yin Erhu slapped Xue Changfeng on the back of the head and said angrily: "You scared the child."
Xue Changfeng looked at the baby with only a small face exposed, growled in a low voice, and walked towards the place where the war horses were stored.
When the two horses and three of them arrived at the gate of Yanshi County, they did not see the government officials or Xiang Yong guarding the city. Instead, the heads of the officials who were still hanging on the city wall were frozen hard by the cold wind and pitch black.
Rumo didn't say anything, but he showed a bit of Kunlun slave's style.
Horseshoe stepped on the blue stone and entered the city gate. As soon as they entered, Xue Changfeng found that many people were watching them.
There is nothing surprising about this. There is still smoke in many places in the city, and pedestrians on the street dare not raise their heads as they come and go.
Xue Changfeng took a long breath of the smell of burning wood and said to Yin Erhu: "It smells like barbecue, but I don't think they are barbecue."
Yin Erhu said disdainfully: "Don't look at the chaos now. When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty arrive, they will immediately become obedient and obedient people.
Nowadays, the surrounding areas of Yanshi County have been sealed off, and those evildoers can only escape into the wilderness and forests if they want to survive.
However, it is still very strange. These people are hiding in the county town and have no intention of entering the mountains and forests. Are they really planning to raise a flag and rebel here?"
Xue Changfeng said excitedly: "It must be so. There are many mountains and forests around Yanshi County. If they form a stronghold in the mountains and forests to protect themselves, then they can harass the entire Yanshi County when they advance, and they can harm the three surrounding areas along the mountains and forests when they retreat.
County, if what happened in Yanshi County can be repeated in the other three counties, it will not be difficult to raise a team of fifty or sixty thousand people."
Yin Erhu had long disapproved of Xue Changfeng's madness. His Majesty had long told him that those who rebelled during this period had only one fate, and that was to be captured alive by the soldiers and taken naked to the people of Chang'an or Luoyang.
Look, after reading it, the worst outcome is beheading.
The situation in Yanshi County is very strange. Although there are vicious people with deer-headed and rat-like eyes everywhere, the businesses in the market are still open. They don't seem to be affected by this chaos. It's just the most famous Yuhua in Yanshi County.
The building was burned to ashes.
After walking along the street for a while, Yin Erhu suddenly said to Xue Changfeng: "What rules do you think the leader Liao Wu followed to kill people and wipe out households?"
Xue Changfeng said: "Zhang Ren of the Zhang family is the head of the local Zhang family. His family has nearly 5,000 acres of land and a net worth of more than 3,000 guan. Since all of his local gangsters have been wiped out by Liao Wu, it means that the rest have been wiped out.
The family's net worth should be no less than three thousand guan.
For example, the owner of the Yuhua Building."
Yin Erhu shook his head in confusion and said: "The patriarch of the Zhang family was wiped out. At least it proves that Liao Wu is very organized in his work. He should also have some strong foreign aid. Otherwise, Zhang Ren raised his arms and called out to the Zhang family.
It won't be a big problem if three to five hundred strong men can help him."
Xue Changfeng's eyes flashed, and he turned back to look at Yin Erhu who was on the horse and said: "My lord, don't you have any more news?"
Yin Erhu shook his head and said: "I can only observe and record. All twelve groups of people did this kind of thing."
Xue Changfeng was silent. The two passed by the burnt Yuhua Building and saw that there were many people there, dragging burnt wood to their homes. Some people were rummaging through the rubble, occasionally picking up the pieces from the rubble.
When I found a bowl with a chip in it, I couldn't help but cheer.
There is also a restaurant next to Yuhua Building. Judging from the wine sign hanging outside the door, it is a restaurant that sells drinks. Just judging from the area, it is at least two times as big as Yuhua Building.
"Why can their family run a good business?"
Xue Changfeng looked at the business as usual in the store and couldn't help but ask.
When Yin Erhu saw that the child in his arms had a sticky mouth, he took Xue Changfeng to this two-story restaurant called Dongyang.
The waiter came up to him with a smile, took the reins of the war horse and said, "Is the guest going to have lunch?"
Xue Changfeng said: "Serve a certain family's war horses well, and don't let those thieves harm you."
The waiter said without changing his expression: "To be honest, Yanshi County was originally the fiefdom of Princess Dongyang. The business of the princess's house is not something that a thief would dare to invade."
Xue Changfeng nodded, and walked into the restaurant with Yin Erhu. They came to a spacious private room upstairs where they could see the movement downstairs and sat down. He was dumbfounded, as if he was thinking about something great.
Yin Erhu was not interested in what was going on here and asked the waiter for warm water to wipe the baby girl's sticky mouth.
A five-month-old child can eat some rice oil. Once the rice oil is boiled in the kitchen and given to the child, the child will be considered alive.
While waiting for the food to be served, Xue Changfeng opened the records compiled by various people in Yin Erhu's backpack.
The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.
Looking back, he saw Yin Erhu smiling and feeding rice oil to the child with a wooden spoon. The child also ate deliciously, so he suppressed his curiosity, poured a cup of hot tea and drank it.
There was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. Xue Changfeng looked over and saw a sturdy man jumping down before the horse stopped. He walked quickly on the ground for two steps. Without paying attention to the horse, he rushed into Dongyang Restaurant and shouted: "
Is Master Liao here?"
Immediately, an eight-foot-tall strong man in blue opened the door curtain and came out of another private room. He looked at the man and said, "Boss Zhou, do you have any good news for a certain family?"
The man who came in said hurriedly: "Boss Zhou encountered a high-walled watchtower in Sanchali. He was anxious to get down. He hoped that Mr. Liao Wu would join in the grand event and capture the Hu family in Sanchali. Mr. Liao Wu could enter the Hu family's mansion first."
Mr. Liao Wu laughed boldly and said: "Okay, if these rich people who specialize in drinking human blood don't die, we poor people will not have a good life. Go, we must go, and we will go now."
After saying this, he said hello, and immediately a dozen men came out of Dongyang Restaurant and followed Liao Wu away.
The little baby girl drank more than half a bowl of rice oil before she calmed down, closed her eyes and fell asleep. However, the diaper under her crotch was muddy again.
Yin Erhu found a clean linen cloth and rubbed it vigorously in his hands for a while. When the linen became soft, he put it in his arms to warm it. He washed the baby girl's buttocks with warm water, wiped it dry patiently, and then gave it to her.
She puts on a new diaper.
Xue Changfeng was impatient with this, so he got up and left for a while. When he came back, he saw that Yin Erhu had already put the child in his arms, so he pointed at the dirty diapers piled on the table with the food and said: "You are planning to
Do this?"
Yin Erhu put away the dirty diaper, took a sip of the stale noodle soup and said, "What did you do again?"
Xue Changfeng said: "Not only the property of Princess Dongyang's family will be fine, but also all the wealthy families who are related to the royal family will be fine."
Yin Erhu said: "What does this mean?"
Xue Changfeng took a sip of wine and said calmly: "This shows that this riot is related to the royal family."
Yin Erhu smiled and said, "So what?"
Xue Changfeng said: "If the emperor treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as his countrymen; if his ministers regard his ministers as grass and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit."
The man on horseback who came in just now, as well as Liao Wu, they all have the shadow of the familiar Bai Qisi."
Yin Erhu smiled again and said, "How are you doing?"
Xue Changfeng pointed to the food on the table and said: "Eat quickly, you only have half a stick of incense time."
Yin Erhu stuffed a piece of Hu cake into his mouth and said, "We still have plenty of time. We will have to find a place to sleep in a while. The child is too young and cannot bear the cold."
Xue Changfeng said: "After half a stick of incense, six military kerosene bombs will explode here. By then you may not have time to eat properly."
Yin Erhu put down the Hu cake in his hand, looked at Xue Changfeng gloomily and said: "Don't you consider the casualties here?"
Xue Changfeng said: "The first one in the warehouse will explode first. The fire will spread here, and the people in the building will have time to escape."
Yin Erhu hurriedly drank the noodle soup and said while drinking the soup: "Why?"
Xue Changfeng sneered and said: "Since they want to eliminate the rich households, it is best not to keep any rich households. The royal princess can't even think of being alone."
Yin Erhu wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said: "It's okay, burn it cleanly."
Under the courtesy of the waiter, the two people left this restaurant, which was still prosperous in the chaotic season, and rode horses to find a place to sleep.
Kankan found a good inn and found out that it belonged to Princess Dongyang's family. When he was about to stay in the hotel, there was a loud noise from the Dongyang Restaurant on the street, and then there was a fire...
