"There are many little girls who need to go outside the city to carry water, but if I say that my uncle went to the Yamen today, it should be my brother's two daughters. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" said the tall and thin man with a smile, thinking of the two lovely nieces and unconsciously laughing.

With that, he walked out into the street.

"Then let's start with this one!" The tall and thin man said, and the others nodded.

So the young man knocked at the door of the first house, and came out a very old woman, dressed in a single garment, and opened the door at such a cold time.

"Auntie, can you give these two beggars a little food and drink?"

"What did you say?" The eldest lady put her hand behind her ear and roared.

"It turns out that my aunt can't hear us. Looks like we're going to have to find a second one. The young man said.

At last they reached the second house, and this time it was an old man who opened the door, trembling as if he could fall at any moment. This old man was dressed in similar clothes to the old woman just now, and he was also in tattered clothes. In comparison, Le Yi and King Jin are really good at dressing.

"Hello uncle, can you give these two beggars a little food and drink?"

"Yes, I just baked sweet potatoes here. If you want to drink it, you have to wait until the evening when my son and daughter-in-law come back from the field to carry water. ”

Several people walked into the old man's yard, two very dilapidated houses. But the cleaning is clean. When I entered the low house, I found that it was extremely simple, with no furniture and no food.

Next to the stove are a few small sweet potatoes.

"This was originally reserved for my son and daughter-in-law to come back and eat, you eat first, and then they will find a way when they come back." The old man saw that the two beggars were shivering from the cold, so he gave them food.

King Jin and Le Yi ate the sweet potatoes given by the old man, and their thirst became even worse. But looking around the old man's room, there was really no water.

The two swallowed the sweet potato in their hands vigorously.

"Uncle, we won't forget your great kindness, you can keep the rest and eat it. Let's go first. King Jin and Le Yi couldn't bear to eat their rations, so they left in a hurry.

When I got to the next house, I knocked on the door for a long time and no one was at home.

"I guess I'm going to work in the fields!" Said the tall and thin young man.

They continued to visit a number of homes, and the situation was broadly similar, with most families untouched. After all, I just paid my taxes.

Before I knew it, it was dark, and Le Yi and King Jin said goodbye to the two young people and walked back to the palace.

At this time, Wang Shao was already sitting in the front hall waiting for them.

"You're finally back. How's it going to be today? ”

"I didn't expect that in the place where the granary of Bingzhou is full, the people are so hot and watery." King Jin sighed.

"When you went to visit the houses, I went to the place where the people fetched water, and it was so far away." Wang Shao sighed.

"Why don't the people dig wells and drink water?" King Jin asked puzzled.

"Most people use dug water to irrigate the ground, because the water from the wells here is very salty. Therefore, it cannot be used for drinking and cooking. You can only go to distant places to fetch water. Wang Shao happened to ask the old man who was fetching water today.

"I see." Le Yi said.

"That's a real problem!" King Jin frowned.

Just when everyone was at a loss, King Jin said: "I have decided, the first thing I will do when I come to Bingzhou to sit for the people is to help the people solve this drinking water problem." ”

"How do you solve the problem?" Wang Shao looked at his enthusiastic apprentice and asked with a happy smile.

"Can't we bring in that drinkable water?" King Jin asked Wang Shao.

"Your Highness is wise, and the old minister thinks the same way." Wang Shao didn't expect King Jin to be so witty, and he was overjoyed.

"Then let's quickly gather relevant personnel to plan this project tomorrow!" King Jin said.

"Has Your Highness forgotten those two young men today? Their grievances are still waiting for you to deal with! Le Yi reminded King Jin.

"By the way, I almost forgot. However, when it comes to taxation, it is not a simpler matter than water conservancy. Let me leave it for a few days and then fix it! ”

Le Yi saw that King Jin was only thinking about water conservancy projects, so he could only retreat: "Your Highness, let's order someone to rescue that girl first!" Take your time with other things. ”

"Well, Concubine Ai is really kind, then according to what you said. Trouble Master to solve this girl's matter. The other few who gave us food and drink but had little food for their own families ordered that rice be brought to them as soon as possible. ”

"Roger! But who gave you food and drink? Wang Shao asked curiously.

"I'll deliver it myself tomorrow. Makeup, of course! King Jin laughed.

Le Yi looked at this King of Jin and thought about the Emperor Yang of Sui in the history books, did the history be written wrong or what's going on?

"I'll go too!" Le Yi said.

"Go! Of course! You also eat from other people's food. King Jin said with a smile.

After talking about today's news for a while, Wang Shao went back first, and the old bones were about to fall apart.

After King Jin drank Le Yi and took a bath, the maid had already prepared the meal.

Look at that long menu. King Jin suddenly felt that this was a bit too extravagant. So he said to the people around him, "Let's cut our menu in half in the future!" ”

"Yes! Your Highness! ”

King Jin looked at Le Yi after speaking: "This concubine shouldn't be unhappy!" ”

"Your Highness is wise, even if it is halved, it is very sufficient." Le Yi hurriedly said.

"Then it was so happily decided!"

The two of them ate a meal that they usually didn't think of, and they felt that it was unprecedentedly fragrant.

"Today's meal was so delicious!"

"That's because I haven't eaten much all day today."

"Yes, when you're hungry, a lot of things get many times better. In addition, there is another reason, today I know that I have something to eat, and I am happy. King Jin said and remembered the families who had no food today.

"Even if I send more rice to the people who don't have anything to eat, it won't be enough for them to eat for a lifetime. So it's important to find a way to solve the problem at its root. ”

"Yes, we have to think about it in the long term and think about how to solve this problem."

After eating, the two came to the backyard for a walk, chatting as they walked.

"Tomorrow that beggar will give me a warmer dress in his clothes?" Freeze me to death today! King Jin couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the thin clothes he was wearing today.

Le Yi said: "Why do you want to put on makeup to do good deeds? ”

"You're saying I should go as King Jin?"

"I'm not saying that doing good requires publicity, but we're just going to do it now. You need to have a good reputation in this place in order to get the support of public opinion and the support of the people. ”
