Chapter 198: The Widow to the Country
"Haha~~"
Zhao Zheng held Zhao Kuo's head tightly with both hands, his hands were too small and short, his hands were spread, and he could only grasp the position of his father's two eyebrows, and his legs were placed on Zhao Kuo's shoulders, Zhao Kuo was already tall, and the little guy sat in this position, he was like a giant, able to look up at everyone, I don't know why, the little guy seemed to enjoy the feeling of serving others like this, but he refused to go down from his shoulders.
The father and son walked in the countryside and did not bring their own guests, most of Zhao Kuo's guests have already married and have families at the moment. Zhao's mother likes to be a matchmaker for these people, since Di took the lead in getting married, Zhao's mother has been a matchmaker for his doormen, first Zhao Fu, Zhao's mother introduced a widow to him. In this day and age, widows remarrying are not as repugnant as they were later.
On the contrary, widows who have proven their fertility and have not died in childbirth are very popular. Zhao Fu had a wife before, but he died when he gave birth, this strong man who has always been not good at words, in the face of women, he was even more speechless, when he met with the widow in private, he was hesitant, bored for a long time, and he couldn't say a complete sentence, and finally people spoke first, saying that he took a fancy to Zhao Fu, saying that he was honest and kind, and he could live.
Somehow Di knew about this matter, and then, the villagers in the entire horse suit knew about it, and Zhao Kuo saw Zhao Fu running after Di with a sword...
Except for Ge, who was too old, the rest of the people were arranged by Zhao's mother, and then, Zhao's mother began to focus on Zhao Kuo's disciples, the first was Han Fei, Han Fei heard about this, his eyes widened, and the symptoms of stammering were even more serious, so he was so frightened that he hid in the school room and never dared to go out again.
Ushered in the busy farming season again, Zhao Kuo carried the emperor of the ages, walked in the cultivated land of the horse suit, the villagers he met in front of him bowed down to salute, Zhao Kuo will also smile and salute back, so all the way to the cultivated land, the cultivated land of this era is different from what Zhao Kuo saw in the countryside in his previous life, the most obvious difference is that an acre of land here is obviously smaller than an acre of land later, because of the backwardness of irrigation technology, the cultivated land also has a channel to contact the river water...
Zhao Kuo didn't know what to call this channel, probably it couldn't be said to be a channel, they would use a hoe to clean up the silt, so that the water could be poured into the farmland, and the so-called competition for water still existed at this moment. Within the Seven Kingdoms, only Qin will not fight for water, because the officials will carefully help them divide, and who will use it one day is all stipulated, but Zhao State is different here, and there will be disputes among fellow villagers because of water issues.
However, this situation has not been there recently, especially in Mafu, perhaps because Zhao Kuo is here, most of the people here are gentle, kind, and often polite when treating others, and there will be no discord.... When Zhao Kuo walked here, he saw that Ping Cheng was cleaning up the soil, usually the river channel leading to the cultivated land is covered with mud, and it is dug up when it is needed... Pinggong had several sons, but unfortunately, after the Battle of Changping, none of his sons returned.
His sons died on the battlefield.
Pinggong's wife cried every day and passed away a few months ago, leaving Pinggong alone, lonely, however, it is rare to see Pinggong sad and sad, Pinggong is still as usual, just smiling, he believes in ghosts and gods, he firmly believes that his son and wife have been freed from suffering, are enjoying their sacrifices in a place he can't see, no longer have to serve in forced labor, no need to go to war, no need to endure separation.
This kind couple is still so separated, Zhao Kuo can often see Pinggong muttering to himself, as if he is chatting with his deceased wife and sons. Zhao Kuo rolled up his trouser legs, walked up quickly, rushed to Ping Gong's side in a few steps, took the hoe from his hand, Ping Gong was stunned, held the hoe tightly with both hands, shook his head, and said: "Don't.. It can't be like this... You are.."
"Please help me take care of it, he likes to run around...", Zhao Kuo said, grabbed the little guy from his back and handed it to Ping Gong, Ping Gong took the child, and wanted to say something, but Zhao Kuo had already started to work, Ping Gong's lips trembled, and he looked at the little guy in his arms, holding him tightly, the little guy ate his hands, and looked at Zhao Kuo who was working blankly, Zhao Kuo was busy, and said with a smile: "You need help with something, just look for me." ”
"Think of me as your son... You grew up watching me. ”
Zhao Kuo said with a smile, a few farmers walked on the trail in the distance, they chatted, and suddenly saw Ma Fujun who was working, he was taken aback, and hurriedly ran over, to help, Zhao Kuo wiped his sweat with a smile, and said to them: "The second and third sons go and get busy with their own things, it's just a little thing, I can do it myself." ”
Ping Gong just sat aside, quietly watching Zhao Kuo busy, he picked up the mulberry cane on the side, gently pointed at the little guy's body, and muttered: "Ma Fuzi, I bless you, I hope that all disasters are far away, you must grow up healthily, become like your father, like your grandfather...", the little guy looked at the mulberry wood in front of him, stretched out his hand to grab it, and grinned.
"Winning !!"
Zhao's mother looked at Zhao Kuo in front of her angrily, Zhao Kuo was dirty, muddy, standing in front of her mother, with her head down, but she didn't dare to look at him. "I just washed my clothes yesterday! You're just going to help someone, can't you change your clothes first?! Zhao's mother scolded, Zhao Kuo just lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I was a little anxious at that time.... I'm just.. I wash it myself..."
"I'm not dead yet! It's not your turn to do these chores! ”
Zhao Kuo lowered his head again, Zhao Zheng stood aside, and couldn't help grinning when he saw his eldest mother reprimanding his father and his father not daring to raise his head.
"And you! Yingzheng! Where's your shoes?! Mother Zhao held the wooden board and asked angrily.
Zhao Zheng's eyes widened, his head lowered, and he looked at his bare little feet seriously, huh?
What about my shoes?
"Stand still!"
Hearing Zhao's mother's reprimand, Xiao Zhao Zheng also stood aside like his father, lowered his head, and never dared to raise his head again.
The two stood like this, Zhao's mother scolded in her mouth, but she took Zhao Kuo's clothes and prepared to wash them, Zhao Kuo hurriedly said: "Mother... Let me help. Zhao's mother snorted and said in a low voice: "I said I wanted to help me, but I didn't find a wife to help me do this... At my age, I have to do it myself...", Zhao Kuo coughed, was silent for a moment, and then said: "To start a family, you need to be in love...."
"If you open your mouth, the woman who wants to marry you will not go from the horse clothes to Xianyang??! Why isn't there a single one you can fancy it?! ”
In the midst of Zhao's mother's complaints, Zhao Kuo picked up Zhao Zheng on the ground and hurriedly escaped from the inner room. Holding the little guy out of the inner room, Zhao Kuo stood in the courtyard, sighed, and said to Zhao Zheng in his arms: "Or... I'll find you a mother... Your aunt also needs someone to help, and you're here... Someone needs to clean it up, you're running so fast now, your aunt can't catch you if she wants to beat you..."
Zhao Zheng thought about it seriously, and suddenly, he understood the thoughts in Zhao Kuo's words, he hurriedly shook his head, and shouted in a milky voice: "Don't!" ”
The two were chatting, and suddenly saw Han Fei walking in in a hurry, after Han Fei walked in, he first went to drink some water, and then came to Zhao Kuo, Han Fei looked a little worried, he said seriously: "Old.. Teacher, something is wrong! Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, put down the little guy, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The matter of the medical officer...", Han Fei said, paused, and then frowned and said: "There are many doctors who don't know medical skills at all and serve as medical officers...", Han Fei said seriously, but it was the local officials who regarded the new medical officers as a new promotion path, a new trading channel, and continued to recommend the "friends" who had given their gifts to serve... It's just that they take a medical book that they don't know whether it's true or not, and if the doctor dies, the other party is incorrigible, and if the doctor lives, it's a credit...
Zhao Kuo was dumbfounded, this was something he didn't expect at all, could it be like this?! It is simply a desecration of life for a doctor to save people!!
Seeing that Zhao Kuo's face gradually turned red, Han Fei said helplessly: "Xinlingjun is not in Handan..."
"He's not here, I'm still here!" , Zhao Kuo said, and said: "Prepare the carriage, I want to rush to Handan!" Han Fei nodded, the implementation of the medical officer system in Zhao State is not very smooth, first of all, the idea of establishing a medical department, although King Zhao agreed, but the implementation progress is very slow, so far, even the specific address for the establishment of the school has not been selected, let alone the local medical officer system.
"There are many famous doctors in the world... Why can't they still come? Zhao Kuo sat in the carriage and couldn't figure it out.
"Teacher... It's too low... Subordinate to the county, the status is also low... I heard that the Qin State also implemented such a system, they directly gave the title of doctor, spread to the township, and they were all directly ordered by the palace. Doctors who can cure many people, can get the title of military merit, and also open a medical department, taught by the old doctor, during the teaching period, exempt from forced labor, within three years, must learn, if the old doctor hides secrets, he must be punished, if he neglects his studies, he will also be punished..."
"Therefore, most of the doctors rushed to the Qin State and got the title, and the Qin people enrolled in school one after another and studied hard...", Han Fei said seriously.
He secretly looked at Zhao Kuo again, and he found that Zhao Kuo's face was not angry, and he was very calm.
"Teacher, aren't you angry?"
"Angry? Why should I be angry? The state of Qin implemented such a system... How many people can be saved? If it can continue forever, how many people will survive because of this, and how many diseases and plagues can be prevented...", Zhao Kuo smiled, he said: "Saving people, this is something to be happy about." If this system of the Qin State can bear fruit, and all countries will follow suit, so that more people can be saved..."
Zhao Kuo was talking, and suddenly, he shouted: "Stop!" ”
Ge, who was driving, immediately stopped the car, Zhao Kuo stood up and looked at both sides of the road, far away, he saw a group of people, including old people, children, young and strong, all of them lowered their heads, numbly walking forward, looking at it like this, you can see that there are many people behind them, far away, there are thousands of people... Zhao Kuo hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and walked towards them.
"Uncle? How did you end up here? Zhao Kuo stopped an old man and asked seriously, this old man, Zhao Kuo is acquainted, he had gone to various places to inquire about the tax situation, he had seen the old man in the column, he had also asked the old man about the situation of the cultivated land, the old man raised his head, compared to the original meeting, the old man looked quite haggard, he looked at this young nobleman, stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up.
"Ma Fu-kun..."
"Ma Fu-kun?"
"It's Ma Fujun!"
The pedestrians on the road raised their heads one after another, looking at the sunny face, muttering his name, all the people who lowered their heads slowly raised their heads and looked in the direction of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo frowned, looked at them, these people suddenly cried, they read Ma Fujun's name, bowed down to him, Zhao Kuo looked at the old man, and asked, "What happened?" ”
The old man didn't cry, he was very calm, he said, "Ma Fujun, you don't have to worry... This year's heavy rains, the flooding of the big river, Zhangshui, Fushui, Niushou Water have been affected because of this.... Flooded farmland... Sand Dunes, Giant Deer, Lieren, Ge Sin, Ye, Pingyang... None were spared, but fortunately, the disaster was not big, only the people were the most severely affected...", the old man said, his words full of helplessness.
"And where are you going?"
"Mafu Mountain."
"I was supposed to go to Julu, but Julu also suffered a disaster, so I had to go to Mafu Mountain... This is an order from the Handan Order.. If you want us to rush to Mafu Mountain, where to cultivate, the water of the Deng Lie people has receded, and we will return to the Lie people..."
I don't know why, Zhao Kuo suddenly remembered a sentence, "The widow is to the country, and he is dedicated to his ears, and Hanoi is fierce, so he will move his people to Hedong and his millet to Hanoi....", Zhao Kuo also laughed at this way of dealing with it, not to solve the problem fundamentally, but to continue to move the victims, what role can this play? But now, when he saw what happened in front of him in the textbook, he felt a kind of fear that he had never felt before.
Is this how all countries deal with it?
The old man continued, according to him, this is not the first time, this is the seventh time he has moved with the people, and every time he moves, there will be a large number of casualties... Under the fence, suffer all the white eyes... There is no arable land, no cattle are allocated, and it is common for young and strong people to vomit blood from exhaustion in the cultivated land, and they fall into the cultivated land and can no longer get up. This time, many areas have been affected, and there are many people who need to be relocated, and they don't know if they will be able to get enough food.
Zhao Kuo raised his head and said seriously: "Please rest assured, I will find a way to solve this matter." ”
"With me, I will never let pigs and dogs eat the food that people eat, and I will not let people starve to death on the road..."
The old man looked up at the resolute-eyed young man in front of him in surprise, the sun shone on his face, and his whole body seemed to be shining.
ps: King Liang Hui said: The widow is also to the country...
Mencius said: Lead the beast to eat man!
