Chapter 64

The farmers in Beizhuang will not know the true identity of Han Ke, they only know that this is the newly invited old gentleman in the academy, who reads a good article, and the baby in the family will say that Mr. Han is so strict, and if he can't write well, he has to be beaten by the board, and if he can't memorize the article, he has to be beaten by the board, and if he dozes off in class, he must hit the board.

It's good to be strict! In their eyes, the gentleman who will punish the students is the one who really cares about the good gentleman, and the gentleman who can manage those "jumping monkeys" is the gentleman who has the ability.

Besides, the babies on the village are all small and big rough babies rolling in the soil, what does it matter if you hit a few hands?

Yesterday, Zhao Ji, the chief of the village, said that Mr. Han has been teaching in the academy for three or four months now, and the baby in the village has gained a lot of knowledge, so it is time to express his gratitude to Mr. Han.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji's construction was echoed, but everyone who had a doll studying in the academy at home nodded in agreement, and just like that, each family brought the best gifts in the family and came to the academy one after another.

"I can't help it!" Han Ke shook his head and said, "The academy was opened by Mr. Tang, and I should thank her for it, the old man teaches and educates people in the academy, but he just does his duty, how can he afford the courtesy of all the villagers?" ”

Han Ke used to be the most disgusted with the treatment of money and things between people, and felt that if it was involved in giving money and things, it would be tainted with cheesiness, but looking at the group of villagers below with real eyes, they didn't feel tacky.

They are not flattering, they are not flattering, they are not hypocritical, they just want to repay the old gentleman who changed the fate of their children, really, simply.

Chief Zhao Ji said: "Mr. Tang's kindness, we naturally want to repay it, but at the moment Mr. Tang is not in the academy, we thank Mr. Han first, they are all some farmhouse food, Mr. Han should not dislike it." ”

But Han Ke stubbornly refused to take it.

Farmers rely on farming to earn food, it is not easy to have some surplus grain left all year round, presumably these are in the bamboo basket they are not willing to eat, on their dinner table, an egg may be the most amazing delicacy, you push me to let it, but now someone has brought a whole basket of eggs.

Thinking that these were all the sweat of the farmers for a year, Hanke refused to accept it even more.

Han Ke persuaded: "You folks have old fathers and mothers, and young sons and daughters, you should leave these foods to them, how can the old man bear it?" ”

Zhao Ji understood what Mr. Han meant, and said with a smile: "Mr. Han may think that our farmers' lives are not good, yes, our previous days are really not good, I am afraid that we will not be able to get these foods all year round, but since Mr. Tang came, free of tenant rent, and set up a workshop, in the whole Zhuangzi, everyone can find a job, now, although the people on the village are not said to be rich and expensive, but everyone can eat and wear warm clothes, which is very different from the past, and these things in their hands are no more ordinary." ”

Han Ke was stunned, he knew that Tang Xiaoshi was full of talent, and he also knew that Tang Xiaoshi could earn a lot of silver, but he didn't know that she had done much more than that.

Taking advantage of this gap in Han Ke's astonishment, Zhao Ji gave a look, the group of farmers and peasant women, one by one, quickly put the bamboo baskets on the steps in front of the academy, turned around and left, the action was very quick and neat, and when Han Ke reacted, only a large row of bamboo baskets was left in front of the academy, in which different foods were placed.

"Folks, don't go......" Han Ke was stunned.

He knew that the villain was unreasonable, but he didn't know that this group of illiterate peasant households, they were also "unreasonable", they followed their hearts and did what they wanted.

Looking at the large row of baskets in front of the academy, Han Shi Niang asked, "Old man, what should I do with this food?" The children in the academy can't finish eating, and if they don't eat for two days, they will be bad. ”

Mr. Han thought for a moment and said, "Leave some for the children in the academy, and send the rest to the street and distribute it to those homeless people." ”

In a large area around Chang'an City, there will always be a drought in some places every year, and there are many displaced people who have fled into Chang'an City.

……

……

On Suzaku Street in Chang'an City.

Tang Chun'er and Tang Qiu'er were cleaning up the stall, and the food had been distributed. If it weren't for Uncle Fu lining up more than a dozen soldiers to help maintain order, I'm afraid that a good soup kitchen would have turned into a porridge grab, because there were so many homeless people in the city that they were surrounded almost as soon as they put out the soup soup sign.

It seems that there are many more displaced people in the city this year than in previous years, and every morning, I will see the guards in the city, driving carriages, and transporting the corpses of the homeless who have starved to death and frozen to death outside the city.

Chun'er and Qiu'er don't understand, obviously the cold winter is about to pass, and the warm spring is just around the corner, why the number of displaced people in the city has not decreased, but has increased in large numbers?

Because of the doubts in their hearts, Chun'er and Qiu'er cleaned up the stall, didn't rush to leave, stayed for a while, and according to the arithmetic knowledge taught to them by their husband, they carefully counted the homeless people who walked on Chang'an Street within a quarter of an hour, and then were surprised.

The number of displaced people in the city has more than tripled now compared to three months ago!

It's no wonder that today's soup soup was divided, and the group of homeless people scrambled like wolves and tigers, and they almost didn't fight.

There are such big changes in the city, which means that there must have been a natural disaster outside Chang'an**, and this matter must be reported to Mr. Han as soon as possible. Now that Mr. Tang is not here, and the prince is not here, in case the people are forced to be anxious and there is turmoil, the academy must also hurry up to make countermeasures.

After all, the academy is inhabited by defenseless children.

Tang Chun'er and Tang Qiu'er were about to get into the carriage and walk back, but they heard an old voice, "Girl, have you finished distributing today's porridge?" Is there anything left? ”

Tang Chun'er turned around and saw that it was a rickety old man, with a white beard, wearing tattered clothes, holding a broken bowl with a missing corner, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Tang Chun'er showed him the empty bucket, and said regretfully: "It's already finished, grandpa might as well go elsewhere to take a look, maybe there are other rich and noble families who are giving porridge." ”

The old man sighed and said: "Now the rich are rich, the poor are poor, the rich have surplus food, the poor are dead on the street, the poor are afraid of the rich like jackals, the rich bully the poor like grass mustard, where will there be rich people in the whole Chang'an City?" The gentleman in the academy is kind, but it's a pity that I missed it. ”

It's like a reader.

The old man didn't dwell on it, turned around and left in a dashing manner, muttering: "Okay, I'll go find a good place to die, lest I freeze to death on the street and be dragged to the cliff and thrown down, leaving no whole body." ”

If Tang Xiaoshi was here, he would definitely be able to hear that this old man was deliberately saying such things, because these words were simply magical, and they could almost make everyone who listened to them feel pity.

That's too skillful.

Obviously, people who can say such things will not become homeless, even if they are storytellers, they can also eat together.

But Tang Chun'er and Tang Qiu'er were too young after all, after hearing the old man's words, they felt pity, Tang Chun'er said in a low voice: "If the old gentleman is willing, follow me back to the academy, and I will go get some food for you." ”
