Chapter Twenty-Four: The Porridge Shack Outside the Jingshi! (a)

Dang Chongya's eyes were instantly red, and he finally didn't "shout" at Wu Yue again.

More than ten minutes later, Su Malagu brought a nourishing soup and put it beside Dang Chongya.

Dang Chongya didn't say hello, he got started directly and drank it.

From beginning to end, Wu Yue looked at Dang Chongya with straight eyes, and never left for a second.

After Dang Chongya drank the nourishing soup, he stubbornly raised his head, arched his hands towards Wu Yue, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the test of the water gun must be carried out immediately, and Weichen has already chosen the address, which is in the military camp of the Tongzhou camp." ”

"Your Majesty, only by speeding up the speed of the test can Weichen make the finished water gun before Prince Yu leaves the Jingshi. Prepare for future operations. Dang Chongya said.

Wu Yue nodded.

"How are you feeling right now?" Wu Yue asked in a deep voice.

Dang Chongya hurriedly stood up, stretched out his arms and retreated, "Your Majesty, Weichen is fine." ”

"As long as the emperor's water gun test is successful. Wechen arranged the corresponding water gun production process, and Wechen went home to rest. Weichen promised that he would raise his body well. Dang Chongya blushed and said.

Wu Yue finally smiled.

"Okay. Prince Yu, let's go to the camp in Tongzhou and fulfill this kid's wish. Wu Yue smiled sideways and looked at Fuquan who was sitting on the side.

Fuquan nodded, stood up, followed Wu Yue's steps, and walked out of the upper study.

And Dang Chongya was full of excitement, and hurriedly followed Wu Yue and Fu Quanmai when they walked out of the upper study.

Wu Yue did not use the Jinluan method of driving, but chose to travel with microservices. When passing through the most prosperous commercial street in Beijing, the joy in Wu Yue's heart gradually rose to his cheeks.

On the bustling streets, the people who came and went, without the same caution as before, smiled from the bottom of their hearts. The vendors along the street are enthusiastic, greeting the people around them and introducing their products.

When the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets passed by, the people were not afraid, but quietly smiled and hid aside.

The children in the middle of the street did not see the arrival of the officers and soldiers, and still played. The soldiers who passed by did not shout loudly, but stepped forward with a smile and hugged the children aside.

Full of peace and positive energy!

"That's great!" Wu Yue looked at all this in front of him with a smile and walked in the direction of Tongzhou.

Fuquan, who followed behind, also had a smile on his face and looked up into space. It seems to be talking to the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty.

Out of the capital, what Wu Yue saw became another sign.

Pedestrians who come and go, dressed with a lot of changes and patches. His face was sallow, but even Wu Yue, who didn't know anything about medical skills, knew that it was caused by malnutrition.

Fortunately, a few miles away, there is a porridge shed that has been built. These hurried passers-by seemed to be heading in the direction of the porridge shed.

Wu Yue was about to go, but was stopped by Dang Chongya.

"Childe, the Tongzhou camp is not in this direction." Dang Chongya bowed and said.

Wu Yue suddenly glared at Dang Chongya and walked towards the porridge shed.

Fuquan stepped forward and stopped Dang Chongya.

"Okay, Childe is going to see how the soup kitchen is going. Let's just follow. Fuquan said, raised his hand and gently patted Dang Chongya's shoulder, and hurriedly followed.

Wu Yue's mood became heavy at this moment.

Outside of the Jingshi, Wu Yue came out for the first time. The scene I saw was completely different from what I imagined, although I had already imagined the situation to be extremely bad.

The porridge shed built in front should be set up by Shuntianfu Yin, from a distance, the scale is not very large, and on the top of the porridge shed, a curling cooking smoke rises, and it should be boiling porridge uninterruptedly.

Wu Yue stopped a man in a ragged cloth shirt who came out of the direction of the porridge shed, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother, is there a soup soup kitchen in front of you?" ”

The man nodded, looked Wu Yue up and down, and said, "Childe, that place, a person of your status, don't go over." ”

Wu Yue frowned, "What's wrong?" Am I not a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, and I can't go and drink porridge? ”

The man smiled, "That place is for us homeless people." If you go, won't the homeless people drink less? ”

Wu Yue listened to the words and smiled.

"Is there a limit to their soup kitchens?" Wu Yue then asked.

The man nodded, "Of course, the people who drink the porridge must report where their hometown is." And after drinking porridge, I took the customs clearance paperwork and rushed back to my hometown along the way. On the way home, as long as there are customs clearance documents, you can continue to accept grain gifts from the imperial court. Make sure you don't starve to death on the way home. ”

Wu Yue heard this and immediately smiled.

"This is a good thing, that is, I can return to my hometown and have food!"

"Is it a good thing?" The man stubbornly raised his head and looked at Wu Yue.

"My hometown is in the land of Yungui, where the three feudal domains rule all the year round, and the harsh taxes are several times that of the imperial court. The court is now asking us to go back, you say, isn't this forcing us to death? ”

As he spoke, the man sat down on top of the mound beside him, his face grieved.

"I'm looking forward to dying on the way home now." The man let out a long sigh and said.

Wu Yue heard the man's words, and his face instantly became ugly.

"What about the others? What do they mean? Do you also want to return to your hometown? Wu Yue pondered for a moment, then asked.

The man smiled wryly and shook his head, "Those people who didn't come out of the three feudal territories are more than willing to go back. After all, the imperial court promised that as long as those who returned with the customs clearance papers, they could go to the yamen to receive rice seeds and land. The imperial court issued a decree and even exempted them from paying taxes for three years, and in just these three years, the lives of the common people will be turned upside down. ”

"I won't be reincarnated if I'm still a little old man, if I can support myself in a place under the Qing Dynasty, then I will be happy." The man said, slowly standing up and heading southwest.

"Let's go. I wish I could see the rising sun tomorrow! The man shouted helplessly.

Wu Yue turned his face sideways and looked at Fuquan.

"In the land of San Francisco, taxes are severe, and the people are living in difficulty. For the imperial court, it is a good thing, but it is the suffering of these people. Wu Yue muttered in a low voice.

Fuquan nodded.

"But Childe, there is no way to do this, you can't move the people of the three feudal territories out now, right?" Fuquan said.

Wu Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Judging from this porridge shed in Jingshi, the imperial court's decree is still being implemented, and it has been recognized by the people, and it has also achieved remarkable results in recovering the hearts of the people."

"It's just the people of the land of Yungui, we still don't have to think about it. After you go back, you tell Chen Tingjing to see if there is a good way to deal with it. Wu Yue said in a deep voice.

Fuquan nodded.

Wu Yue turned around, looked at the porridge shed, and then strode over.
