Chapter 75: Famine in the South丨What is the purpose?
Yue Zheng sat on the ground with his buttocks, not feeling any dirty at all, in fact, his whole body was also embarrassed, and it didn't seem wrong to sit on the ground.
And the chattering Yue Zheng was holding a fish in his hand at the moment, his expression was focused and serious, he didn't know where to find a knife in his hand, and then began to skillfully scrape the fish scales, only to see that his movements were skillful and coherent, as if he had done such a thing many times, and before Xuan Jiayin and others could see it clearly, Yue Zheng had already stripped the poor fish's 'clothes'.
Then Yue Zheng cut open the belly of the fish and cleaned the internal organs little by little, and then used a dead branch to wear the already clean fish.
"Just now...... Brother Yue's technique is simply amazing. ”
Xu Jinnian said in amazement, Yue Zheng's speed just now was too fast, and he hadn't even reacted, and he had already made a fish.
"Hehe, it's inevitable. We little people. When there is a famine, you can only plane sweet potatoes and catch fish to eat. So this little craft will be learned naturally, as long as you have experienced famine, you will naturally learn it. ”
Yue Zheng was talking and playing, but there was no pause in his hand, as if peeling fish scales was his talent.
"Nonsense! I am the country of Tianchen and the people of peace. After many years of good weather, where did the famine come from? ”
Xuan Jiayin suddenly said with some annoyance when he heard this, how can this Yue Zheng talk nonsense?
"I say, Sixteen Princes. If you have lived in the palace for a long time, you naturally don't know about the suffering of the people. That's right, you still have the emperor. may listen to the courtiers every day is your so-called national peace and security, and the wind and rain are smooth. But have you really seen it, seen this world...... Is it true that all the places are in good weather? ”
Yue Zheng paused slightly after hearing Xuan Jiayin's words, and his expression did not show the slightest excitement, but the sharpness in his words was faintly highlighted, and Xuan Jiayin was stunned.
Indeed, Xuan Jiayin is in the palace after all, although it is the center of Tianchen Kingdom's politics, but they are also the most easily blinded by the authorities.
"If nothing else, let's talk about the southern province, Xunyang Province. There has been a famine for three years, and tens of thousands of people have died of starvation, does the imperial court know the news? ”
Yue Zheng saw that Xuan Jiayin was still a little unconvinced, so he began to give examples.
"Xunyang Province? That's not ......"
Mu Youchen's heart moved, this Xunyang Province is not where others are, it is the big province where Wang's father is the supreme consul.
It's just that Xunyang Province is an important food province for the imperial court, how can there be a famine?
"That's right, it's the so-called granary of the world, and it's indeed a granary. Heavily guarded, the victims were denied food, and the corpses of starving people were piled up in the streets. Countless people were killed. People have reached the point where they are easy to eat. ”
Yue Zheng's short knife is getting faster and faster, and he can handle a fish faster than before.
"Langyu, you are in the south, and your father is the king side by side! Is this really true!? ”
Xuan Jiayin was shocked and angry when he heard it, his ambition was to protect the land and the people, and now such a thing happened in this country, not only did he not know at all, but even the current saint did not know, which made the anger in Xuan Jiayin's heart rise.
"This ...... I've heard my father say that this is indeed the case in Xunyang Province. I just didn't know it would be so serious. ”
Xun Langyu said in a low voice, his face a little ashamed.
"Actually, your father, His Majesty the Emperor, and the Prime Minister all know this. But what can you do? Nobody broke ......"
Yue Zheng sneered, no longer the hippie smiling face before. It's a little more serious.
Mu Youchen looked at Yue Zheng, and suddenly felt in her heart that this person was not so nasty, but then she shook her head again, this kid is really not simple.
"It is natural for officials to protect each other, and Xunyang Province is the richest region in the south. There are countless benefits that can be given to these big officials and even the emperor. Report? ”
Mu Youchen also said coldly, she didn't say this for the tens of thousands of hungry people who died. It's to stimulate Xuan Jiayin.
Wang Xionggang, the governor of Xunyang Province, is the father of the Wang family, and if this guy falls, the Wang family's backstage will basically be finished.
In this way, in this Mu Mansion, the Wang family will no longer be arrogant before.
It is estimated that it will be a little difficult to clamp the tail and be a human being in the future......
Because, Mu Youchen will not let go of an opportunity to beat the water dog.
"I will definitely tell my father about this! No, I will definitely tell my father in the court! ”
Xuan Jiayin thought of the horror and complexity of this matter, if he told the emperor directly, he could basically only be reprimanded or perfunctory.
But it's different to say it directly in the court, how can things be perfunctory on the surface?
"Then I will thank the Sixteen Princes for the dead victims, huh? Which of you is going to fetch me some firewood? If you want to do it, don't cut it from a tree, Miss Mu is a girl, so naturally don't do these jobs. A few aristocratic young masters pleased. ”
Yue Zheng returned to that hippie smiling face when he spoke, as if the serious person just now was not him.
Xuan Jiayin and the four of them naturally nodded and went separately to find dry firewood, and after Mu Youchen saw everyone leave, he squatted down and looked at Yue Zheng carefully, as if he was looking at something.
"Huh? Miss Mu, why is this looking at me like this? Could it be that Miss Mu has already fallen in love with me at first sight? Want to marry under you? But we're still young, and I'm not an adult yet. I'm afraid Miss Mu will have to endure it for a few years, but if Miss Mu is really hungry and thirsty......"
Yue Zheng said endlessly, making Mu Youchen want to punch him in the face, but after Mu Youchen took a closer look, he found that Yue Zheng's eyes were ridiculous, without the slightest lewdness, so he snorted.
"Thank you for helping me get rid of the Wang family. I was able to leave my mother's side with peace of mind. ”
Mu Youchen whispered, but every sentence passed into Yue Zheng's ears.
"This ...... Miss Mu may be thinking too much, right? I don't know about the grievances of you giants. Think too much, think too much. ”
Yue Zheng's face stiffened slightly, but he recovered in an instant, and said with a smile.
"Is it really that I'm thinking too much? Yue Zheng, don't think you can fool others. I, Mu Youchen, am not an ordinary person. Also, if you're really courting me, just explain it quickly. Maybe I'll consider you helping me deal with the Wang family, and then ...... I'll take care of you during the Kirin Knockout. ”
Mu Youchen said softly, and the words were no longer cold before, but vaguely, there was a hint of charm.
"Uh, uh...... Miss Mu, I'm ...... Ah! ”
Yue Zheng accidentally cut his fingers in the confusion, and quickly jumped up screaming. Jumping and jumping in place, his expression was very embarrassed.
"Hmph, count you on your wit. But we're still here. ”
Mu Youchen regained his coldness in a blink of an eye, but his tone was still not relaxed. Listening to Yue Zheng, he smiled bitterly, this girl, how can she ......
Thinking of this, Yue Zheng really wanted to cry without tears, his plan had just been revealed, and he was all noticed by Mu Youchen, how did this girl's head grow?
"Brother Yue, what do you think of these dry firewood?"
At this time, the four teenagers also rushed back and threw the dry wood they had picked up on the ground.
Yue Zheng picked out the one suitable for burning, and then lit the fire, except for Na Haoran and Mu Youchen, the rest of the people looked at the bamboo tube in Yue Zheng's hand in surprise, it was this thing that ignited the dry wood just now.
"It's called a torch, and it's something that is used to start a fire. You young masters don't even go to the kitchen on weekdays, how do you know this. ”
Yue Zheng said with a smile, Xuan Jiayin, Xun Langyu and Xu Jinnian were embarrassed for a while.
The flames burned quickly, looking at the raging flames, Xu Jinnian and the others were naturally at a loss and didn't know what to do, Yue Zheng skillfully put all the cleaned fish meat on a wooden stick, and then found two 'Ya'-shaped branches, put them on them, and began to grill the fish.
During this period, adding firewood and rolling are naturally done by Yue Zheng alone.
Mu Youchen looked at Yue Zheng with a drop of sweat on the tip of his nose, and found that this boy was very good-looking when he was focused.
However, then, Mu Youchen suppressed this thought again. secretly laughed at himself for being a human being in two lives, why do he still have feelings for this kind of little boy.
When the fish was almost roasted, Yue Zheng took out a small bottle from his body, opened the lid, and poured powder from it on the fish.
"What is this?"
Xu Jinnian asked curiously, and the others also nodded.
"Probably sweat medicine, right?"
As a result, Mu Youchen said something that almost thundered everyone.
"Of course not, who does Miss Mu think of me Yue Zheng as me?"
Yue Zheng said angrily; "This is clearly a ...... of acacia"
Burst!
vomiting blood for three liters......
That Haoran is okay, the three views of Xuan Jiayin and the other three have completely collapsed, and these two people are enough...... Vicious!
"Haha, it's just a seasoning, salt. If you don't have salt, how can you swallow it! ”
Yue Zheng laughed, and then sniffed the almost roasted fish meat intoxicated.
"Brother Yue, is this already done?"
Xun Langyu asked with some excitement, he already smelled the fragrance of this fish.
"It's natural, but let's talk about it first. Ten taels of silver for a fish. Although you caught this fish, I cooked it after all...... Even if it's just preliminary processing. I sprinkled salt too. You're all sons of rich families, so you won't be stingy with this money, right? Miss Mu, you are a girl, of course you are...... Half! ”
Yue Zheng said with a smile, with a full profiteer face.
"Well said, well said. Let me taste it first! ”
Xu Jinnian also looked impatient, these sons and brothers eat a lot of chefs on weekdays, but in fact, they have long been tired of eating crookedly, and now they smell the light fragrance of fish, so they naturally move their index fingers. I can't wait to rush up and grab it.
