"Bang!"

The main gate of the Luyang Township Marquis Mansion was slammed shut.

Watching Niu Ji and Zheng Luo's two guards hang up the thick door bolt, Zhao Yu was in a complicated mood.

Now, though only a cursory glance, he could clearly see the woman with the two children, the pleading look on her face, and at the same time, he could see the child who was a few years old who was being held by the woman's hand, and he could clearly see the horror and pleading on his face.

However, before the woman ran to the door of the mansion, Zhang Ying calmly, or indifferently, ordered the main door to be closed.

"Bang."

"Bang bang."

Outside the door of the mansion, there was an irregular knocking on the door, and Zhao Yu knew that it must be the woman, because he heard the voice: "Please, please open the door, my son...... The slut has not eaten a grain of rice for the past few days, and there is no milk to feed her young son, he ...... The lord inside the door, please show mercy, at least let the two children of the slut live...... The slut is willing to let them be slaves and maids in the house, just to let them live......"

The words were accompanied by the cries of babies and children.

“……”

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Zhang Ying, his lips moving slightly.

Zhang Ying obviously saw through Zhao Yu's thoughts, and shook his head when he saw this, and said: "Madame's example is in front, as long as the mansion accommodates one person and gives them a chance to live, there will be a steady stream of people praying for containment in the future...... The second son and his wife have a compassionate heart, but at this time, it may bring disaster to our township mansion. ”

At this time, the woman was still outside the house, banging on the door in despair, pleading.

Suddenly, Zhao Yu felt that someone gently grabbed his hand, and he turned his head to look, only to find that it was Jingnu.

I saw that Jing Nu's face was pale at the moment, her little face was full of horror, and she lowered her head and grabbed Zhao Yu's hand, as if the whole person was trembling slightly.

"What's wrong? Afraid? ”

Zhao Yu gently rubbed the back of Jing Nu's hand with the thumb of the hand that was held by Jing Nu, and asked puzzledly.

But in exchange, Jingnu clenched harder.

Obviously, she was scared of something, and she was scared to the extreme.

Zhang Ying also noticed Jingnu's panic, and relieved that it had no effect, so he said to Zhao Yu: "Second son, why don't you and Jingnu go back to the house to rest first?" ”

As he spoke, he saw that Zhao Yu wanted to speak and glanced at the main entrance, and then said: "It's okay, as long as I don't pay attention to it, the woman will naturally give up......"

"Really?"

Zhao Yu glanced at Zhang Ying, not believing the latter's words.

But then again, he really didn't have much to do.

Because of the example of his mother Zhou, although he could indeed order Zhang Ying to put the woman with two children into the mansion in the name of the second son, the consequences were very serious, and there would be a steady stream of refugees begging the Xianghou Mansion to accept them, if the Xianghou Mansion did not accept them at that time, it would cause the anger of those refugees, and even make some radical actions that were not conducive to the Xianghou Mansion.

Unless the other township marquis has the ability to relieve and accommodate all the refugees, but the problem is that this matter can't even be done in the county seat, let alone the other township marquis' mansion?

Nodding silently, Zhao Yu pulled Jingnu out of the main entrance.

At this moment, behind him, outside the main door, the woman was pleading bitterly, and Zhao Yu was quite uncomfortable listening to it.

With a long exhale, Zhao Yu turned his attention to Jing Nu behind him: "What's the matter, Jing Nu?" ”

To Zhao Yu's surprise, Jing Nu, who had been obedient to him in the past, lowered his head and did not reply at the moment, he bent his neck slightly to look at Jing Nu, but saw that Jing Nu's low face was still pale and almost bloodless.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Yu gently hugged Jingnu for the first time, and asked in a gentle tone, "What's wrong, Jingnu?" ”

Under Zhao Yu's two inquiries, Jingnu finally reacted, only to see that she was still holding Zhao Yu's left hand, hugging Zhao Yu with her other hand, burying her head in Zhao Yu's shoulder socket, and said in a trembling tone: "Slave...... The slave just suddenly thought that if there was no lady to take him in at that time, the slave and the elder brother might also be turned away like those people outside the mansion at this moment, and there was nowhere to go......"

"How so? Don't think about it. ”

Zhao Yu gently patted Jingnu's back and comforted her silently.

After returning to his room, Zhao Yu saw that Jingnu's mood had almost calmed down, and deliberately teased her: "Jingnu, don't you still let go?" My hands were clenched and I almost didn't feel it. ”

Jingnu was startled, and then realized that she was still holding Zhao Yu's left hand, and hurriedly let go.

Zhao Yu deliberately shook his left hand in front of Jing Nu and teased her: "Jing Nu, I can't see that your strength is actually quite strong, I feel a lot of pain when I grasp the ground......

"Young master."

Jingnu was ashamed and ashamed, biting her lip and feeling a little embarrassed, with a little shame in her eyes: "If you make fun of the slave again, the slave will ...... Just ......"

After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't think of how to "threaten" Zhao Yu, so she closed her mouth sullenly.

That cute appearance made Zhao Yu couldn't help but rub her head a few times.

"Yikes." Jingnu screamed quietly, holding her head and taking two steps back, she didn't dare to disobey Zhao Yu, so she had to beg pitifully: "Young master, don't bully the slave ......"

Seeing that Jingnu had almost recovered, Zhao Yu smiled and lay down on the edge of the bed with her hands on her pillow.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the woman with two children in his mind again.

He knew that women and children like that were probably not the only ones in the tide of refugees, and that at this moment while he was playing with the Silent Girl, there might be many children of the same age who were suffering from hunger and cold, waiting in fear and anxiety for the final despair.

Zhao Yu didn't think that he had come to this era with some mission, but when he saw those refugees today, especially the helpless woman, he couldn't help but think: Maybe I can do something?

Of course, what can he do with a ten-year-old child? If he wants to do something, in the final analysis, he has to get the support of his father, the Marquis of Luyang.

On that day, Zhao Yu thought all day in his house, and only after dinner in the evening did he take Jingnu to the north house.

As always, under the deterrence of his father, the Marquis of Luyang, the family quietly finished dinner.

And when the Luyang townsman was about to leave, Zhao Yu suddenly said: "Dad, the child has something I want to ask you." ”

“……”

The Luyang townsman, who was about to leave, was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Zhou, but saw that Zhou shook his head in surprise, and told her husband that it was not from her signal.

After looking Zhao Yu up and down a few times, the Luyang Township Marquis asked calmly, "Can you finish a few words?" ”

"I can't." Zhao Yu shook his head.

"Come to my study."

"Yes."

The communication between the father and the son, Jingnu did not follow with interest, only Zhao Yu followed behind the Luyang Township, and walked to the study of the Luyang Township, one after the other.

On the way, there was no communication.

After a while, the Marquis of Luyang led Zhao Yu to his study.

Ordered the servant who was cleaning in the study to serve a cup of tea, and the Marquis of Luyang sat down behind the table, only to see him casually take a thick book on the table, and said casually while flipping through it: "Say it." ”

It can be seen that the Luyang townsman doesn't care much about his son's so-called "asking for advice", perhaps in his opinion, the youngest son Zhao Yu is still too young, and there is no need to be too concerned.

Of course, out of respect for his son, the Marquis of Luyang did not directly refuse to communicate with his son.

If the son doesn't have anything important, then deal with it casually, that's probably what he thinks.

However, to his surprise, Zhao Yu said very seriously: "Dad, the child wants to talk to you about the refugee problem. ”

As soon as he heard the word "refugee", the eyes of the Luyang townsman immediately shifted to his son in front of the desk, and he asked suspiciously: "What refugee?" How would you know? ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yu said truthfully: "It was my mother who said it." …… This morning, the child and his mother said that they wanted to learn riding skills and go to the surrounding area and the county to see and visit......"

The Marquis of Luyang snorted lightly when he heard this, and interrupted: "I only know ...... all day long."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that his son could not learn riding well, after all, he was going to send his young son to the army stationed on the border in the future, if the young son learned riding in advance, it would be beneficial to the young son's future future.

Thinking of this, he coughed, swallowed the words that were about to be reprimanded back into his stomach, and changed his mouth and asked, "What did your mother say?" ”

Although Zhao Yu felt that the words of the Luyang townsman had changed a little quickly, he did not study it carefully, and replied when he heard the words: "My mother said to the child, saying that this area has been unstable recently, and many refugees have poured into my Luyang County. Later, the child went to the gate of the house and saw some refugees......"

"Did you see that?" The townsman of Luyang glanced at his son a few times, and said lightly with a bit of the father's usual contempt for the son: "Then what? Think those refugees are pitiful, and think that maybe my township should give them food, or simply take them in? ”

"Nope."

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "That will only drag my Xianghou Mansion into the water." …… The child doesn't know how much money our family has, but I think it should not be able to support thousands of refugees, not to mention that there is a steady stream of refugees pouring into my Luyang County at this moment. ”

“……”

The more Luyang townsfolk listened, the more surprised they became.

Indeed, it was with this in mind that he did not distribute food to those refugees - although at first because he could not resist the Zhou family, the other township marquis did distribute some food to the refugees, but later it turned out that he was right, and since then, the Zhou family, who has learned a lesson, no longer interferes in this matter.

However, at a young age, the young son can actually see this layer clearly, and the Luyang townsman is really a little surprised.

"You came up with it yourself? Or did someone tell you? He asked.

Zhao Yu replied when he heard this: "It was Zhang Ying who was on duty at the gate of the mansion who told the child." ”

"Oh."

The Marquis of Luyang was immediately relieved, and then asked indifferently: "So, what do you want to express?" ”

Zhao Yu replied: "Dad, the child thinks that maybe a win-win solution can be used to solve the refugee problem...... At least partially resolved. ”

The Marquis of Luyang looked at Zhao Yu with his short beard: "Let's hear it." ”

That's what the child thinks...... I wonder if I've been planning to build anything in Luyang County recently? If there is, it is better to hire those refugees to help with food, so that the refugees can get food and will not cause chaos, and my Luyang County can also get a batch of cheap labor......"

“……”

The body of the Luyang townsman leaned back slightly, leaned back on the back of the chair, crossed his hands and ten fingers on the table, and looked at the young son in front of him with surprise and suspicion.

You must know that when he went back and forth to the county seat in the past few days, he was discussing with the county magistrate of Luyang County to build a canal......

The method proposed by the young son in front of him coincided with the method he and Liu Wei, the county magistrate of Luyang County.

Amazing!
