Chapter 46: Dependence VI
The topic was thrown out, and the people at the table took advantage of the wine, and they started to sigh with emotion in the cold night rain.
Someone said, "I came from the south, and all the way I was starving to death, dying of disease, old and young, there were no people, there were too many people fleeing, and the towns I passed through along the way were also guarded to prevent the victims from entering the city." ”
Another person continued, "It is true that you cannot enter the city, as long as a town opens the permit, the nearby refugees will definitely flock to it, and then the city will be full of disaster victims, and the government will not only have to open the granaries to relieve the victims, but also prepare herbs and healers to take care of the victims." Of course, there are also kind-hearted county orders, and privately calling on the people in the city to set up charity sheds and soup kitchens, which is just a drop in the bucket. ”
Some people are puzzled, "The flood is a natural disaster, and the imperial court is not ignoring it, and the minister was sent before, and I heard that now a prince will be sent to relieve the disaster, and there are people from the Tianshan Mountains who are traveling with them, just wait for the rainy season to pass, the city is still the same city, the land is still the original land, and leaving it may not be a dead end." Why do you want to run away from home?"
People who are not yin and yang can't bear it, and they also said a few words, "It's useless to send anyone, the people in the south want to have a way to live, live through today, and wait for the prince and the people of Tianshan to leave, whether they can live until tomorrow, and two words." Since there is no way to live if you are left, of course you are fleeing. The prince and Tianshan did superficial work, and these officials saw it in their eyes, and closed the city gates one by one to let the victims fend for themselves, just to wait for the will of the above. ”
"Also, in the end, the man above can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and the next holy decree of tax exemption and exemption will at least leave some hope for the people in the south. ”
Probably listening to the people around him, the burly man also interjected, "Speaking of which, it is still you southerners who are troublesome, there is no water in our north, and we don't live such a life of grievance, the poor starve to death, the rich die of hunger, we eat together, use together, see who secretly hides something, as long as you like it, you can grab it if you want, if the patriarch lets his people be wronged, he will change to another person." ”
While speaking, the burly man drank a glass of wine, and said without taboos: "You people in the south say that you are free one by one, I think even our slaves are inferior, our master's family will never let their slaves be starved and bullied, we swallow ......
"Eh, I've only taken a few sips of wine, and the more I talk, the more I don't have any sense of proportion. The voice of neither yin nor yang rose again, interrupting the burly man, "Think about how you yourself were kicked out, and don't shut up and talk less nonsense." ”
Before the words fell, everyone at the table laughed, and the burly man was annoyed and angry, shouted a few times, and saw that no one gave him face, and there was no way, so he closed his mouth and drank the wine.
The wind and rain flew obliquely, and the situation in the shop eased down, Wu Yan and Xia Ziyan glanced at each other, no longer anxious, and listened to their conversation quietly. After listening to half of it, I heard someone say a sentence inside, and it was still said by the person who spoke neither yin nor yang, and the words pointed directly to the Tianshan Mountain: "The witch of the Tianshan Mountain came to Jiankang after leaving the customs, first the water dissolved flood, and then the people rioted, everyone put the Tianshan on the desk on weekdays, and the flood came, and I didn't see how much effect the Tianshan Mountain had, so I didn't go, and sent a spirit girl to go, obviously I didn't take the poor people to heart." If such a person goes to assist the country, the emperor doesn't know what he will think, everything is a heavenly opportunity that cannot be revealed......"
The lights in the noodle shop were warm, the people at the table laughed again, outside the noodle shop, the wind and rain were cold, Wu Yan's hand was clenched into a fist, loosened, clenched again, and his lips were tightly pursed, for fear that he would not be able to hold back his voice for a while.
