I really can't live this day.

Yushi Wang Jin was a little seasick, and the people who were on the same boat with him were all officials in the Yushi Tower, these dozens and hundreds of ships, although they were huge, but they were not extravagant, and the ships were shaking, which made Wang Jin feel dizzy.

If it's just a little seasickness, the food on the way is also simple.

Although His Majesty decreed that the states and counties along the route were not allowed to worship, at the beginning, these states and counties were still very attentive, and still brought chickens, ducks, fish, and local specialties to greet them at the dock.

And Li Shimin was furious, and deposed a county order on the spot and ordered people to return things, which stopped this unhealthy trend.

It's just that the crooked wind is certainly stopped.

But the people on the ship had to endure hardship, because what they ate was the ship's military rations, just a few strips of jerky, some steamed cakes, and a few white buns, and occasionally ...... Someone will bring some white rice porridge with longan and other things in it.

But this thing ...... Is it eaten by humans?

Wang Jin was very angry, complaining all the way, and several imperial doctors on the same ship were probably the same.

An old imperial historian couldn't get used to eating these, he had a bad mouth, and muttered in his mouth: "The old man is so old, and he still suffers such a sin, when he is at home, the meat of this meat soup will be stewed very badly, so that it can be eaten." Now it's okay, eating such jerky, you can't even chew it, it's like eating stones, Your Majesty treats ministers like this, and those who are ministers have to obey the king's orders, but ...... But it's cold. ”

When Wang Jin heard this, he was also angry, and said: "Yes, the king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart, and no one treats his ministers like this." ”

Originally, these days, everyone was full of resentment and complaints, but now they have suffered so much, some people have opened this mouth, and others have gossiped and looked extremely aggrieved.

Some people even simply threw the steamed cakes and dried meat in their hands into the turbulent river, and the steamed cakes fell into the water, splashed, and then sank to the bottom of the river with the rushing river.

Something like this...... It can be described as a repeated ban.

Li Shimin's boat is behind, and he can always see the boat in front of him, flooding with all kinds of food, Li Shimin sees it in his eyes, but he doesn't make a sound, he also eats this dried meat and steamed cakes, but he is as happy as a glutton.

But Zhang Qian is unhappy, why can Your Majesty eat, you courtiers can't eat it?

So he couldn't help but whisper to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, do you want to remind the people in front of the boat and let them be more restrained." ”

At this time, Li Shimin was sitting cross-legged, this time on the boat, he felt that he was not so dizzy, while biting the jerky, he said: "I know what they are complaining about, I just think I give little, they treat themselves as wolf dogs, and want me to raise them with fresh meat." In fact, they are just local chickens and dogs, and there is no need to remind them, when they are hungry, they will know that they are terrible. ”

Zhang Qian listened, nodded, and turned around.

Li Shimin looked at the steamed cakes tumbling in the river, and only frowned, but still ignored the actions of those ministers.

Sure enough, at night, many people in Wang Jin's boat felt that they couldn't stay up, they couldn't sleep horizontally and vertically, they were hungry, but on this boat, there was no fire, where was there food?

As soon as this man was hungry, he couldn't fall asleep, he only felt that he had no strength in his body, his stomach was burning, and his mind was like a marquee, and the more he thought about the delicacies at the banquet in the past, the more he felt that his saliva flowed out of anger.

At first, I thought of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and then I thought of the chicken, duck and fish, and then later, I found that even this had become a luxury, so I thought of the dried meat and steamed cakes that I lost.

The taste of hunger...... When I tried it for the first time, it was especially uncomfortable, time seemed to pass very slowly, an old imperial history, hiding in the boat and chirping, and said: "Death, death is ......"

Wang Jin was very uncomfortable, and then he was furious, but he found that he was in this big ship, and everything was in vain.

After a few days, everyone will eat these things obediently, and they can't wait to die of hunger, but everyone's resentment is getting bigger and bigger.

It is quite a bit that when Emperor Yang of Sui forcibly conquered Goguryeo, the ministers of civil and military affairs and soldiers were miserable in the cold and freezing that day.

In a state of resentment, the big ship went all the way to the Tongji Canal.

This is the main road of the Grand Canal, but at this time, a news came from the overland route, and the news was first delivered to the shore by horse, and then by man on board.

These express reports were sent to Du Ruhui first, and after Du Ruhui was responsible for handling them, he sorted them out and took some important ones to Li Shimin.

It's just that when this recital arrived, the scribe who was responsible for assisting Du Ruhui on the side couldn't help but tremble for a moment, and was dumbfounded for a while.

Such news cannot be concealed even in the fleet.

All of a sudden, all the ships exploded.

On the boat of Wang Jin and others, someone looked like a mourner, beating his heart, and said bitterly: "This is repaid, this is repaid, this is to destroy the door and break the family, His Royal Highness King Yue...... How can you do such a thing...... actually fought with open fire, and rushed into the Wang family's mansion, the Wang family...... How can such a family suffer such humiliation? Since the Han Dynasty, there has never been such a thing. ”

That Wang Jin heard about it, and it was like being struck by lightning, he was not from Yangzhou Wang, but from the real Jiangnan, this Yangzhou Wang is just a remnant vein, and he doesn't move around much on weekdays.

But the news he heard was that a group of tax collectors, under the leadership of King Yue, rushed directly into Wang's house, and then began to search, searching the account room and the treasury, not only that, but even several children of the Wang family were directly arrested and imprisoned.

For the Shi clan, breaking the family is a very serious matter, they can break the Wang family today, won't they want to come at themselves tomorrow?

All the ships were boiling and talking about this matter, and there were some who scolded and wept bitterly.

Wang Jinya was crushed, and he couldn't wait to eat Chen Zhengtai's meat raw.

This group of ministers was already tired and tired, eating this steamed cake, their mouths were dull, and they were angry in their hearts, and now that such news has come out, they are really angry and want to vomit blood.

When the ship was about to go to Yangzhou, at this time, someone came, and it turned out to be someone from Yangzhou, saying that he wanted to see the driver.

The person who came was Su Dingfang, who took the men and horses to the shore, and then boarded Li Shimin's ship in a small boat and saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was quite familiar with Su Dingfang and asked why Su Dingfang appeared here.

Su Dingfang said: "Your Majesty, my eldest brother heard that His Majesty led a hundred officials to come here, and he thought that the boundary of Yangzhou had arrived, and he should go ashore and go to Yangzhou City by land, so that he could see the customs and customs of Yangzhou." ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin became interested, and couldn't help but smile: "I have this thought, it seems that ...... Zhengtai had already made arrangements, and I wanted to see what he had arranged for me, so I passed the decree and the ships docked, and I and Zhuqing went ashore. ”

Li Shimin gave an order, and the ministers did not hesitate anymore, and got off the boat one after another, and as soon as the foot was close to the land, everyone finally felt much more steady.

But the resentment in the hearts of the people did not dissipate.

Everyone has one thing in their hearts, the matter of the Wang family, it can't be just settled.

It's just that this place near the shore is actually barren, and as far as the eye can see, it is a dilapidated scene.

Wang Jin was in the crowd and couldn't help sneering: "Look, what has become of this Yangzhou, heh...... Chen Zhengtai, a thief who harms the people, is really vicious. ”

The crowd bowed their heads in agreement, and they were angry and distressed when they saw that many fields were barren here.

To know...... This is a field, and there is no one working in the field, and there is no rice to grow, such a sight is really frightening.

When Li Shimin saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning.

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, and thought that Chen Zhengtai would show him something good at this time, but now, ...... When I first entered Yangzhou, I noticed that it was like this.

After everyone rested for a while, a flying horse came: "Your Majesty, I have found a village ahead. ”

Li Shimin cheered up, and immediately ordered the hundred officials to follow him, but forbade the officers and soldiers to follow, and only took Du Ruhui and Wang Jin to follow the direction pointed by the guide, along the ridge.

Behind him, many people were talking, but Li Shimin turned a deaf ear, and when he entered the village, it happened to be noon.

But the strange thing is that at noon, there is hardly any cooking smoke in this small village.

Every family lives in the rammed earth house, or in the thatched house, and the path in the village is also a cross-flow of sewage, Li Shimin walked in it, and remembered the scene when he was in Gaoyou County, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

And the officials pinched their noses one by one, it was too dirty and smelly, like a pigsty, they were afraid that the sewage would dirty their boots, and they walked on their toes, cautiously.

I thought I would be able to eat a good meal when I went ashore, but who knows...... It's even more bleak here than on a boat, and you can't even see a chicken.

Occasionally...... In the hut, there was a cough......

Li Shimin heard the coughing sound, so he stopped in front of the hut and pushed the firewood door in.

Inside the chaimen, it was very dark and damp, but it could be seen that a person was sitting on the straw with his body bent over.

The people behind hurriedly gave Li Shimin the lamp, and the hut became bright.

This rickety man, everyone only saw clearly at this time, this person was dark-skinned, very thin, and the most remarkable thing was that he had something like measles on his face, and he knew what kind of skin disease he had at a glance.

At this time, he coughed desperately, and he could see that many people were coming in, looking uneasy, but he still quickly got up, limped forward, and said, "You are ......"

"Be bold......" someone was about to shout.

Li Shimin glanced back at the person who spoke, and there was an obvious warning in his eyes, so the minister hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.

Li Shimin immediately looked at the person in front of him, and when he saw him in rags, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, wasn't that what he saw when he came back to Yangzhou last time? Unexpectedly, revisiting the old place is still like this.

Li Shimin felt a little sad in his heart, and he was uncomfortable in one breath.

Many ministers in the back couldn't bear the psychological discomfort brought to them in this hut at the moment, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts.

Li Shimin said: "Who is you?" ”

These people who came here were not small, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they saluted obediently and said, "Xiaomin...... Xiaomin Liu Er. ”

"How old is it?" Li Shimin tried to be as cordial as possible.

At this time, Li Shimin's mood was very disappointed, he thought that since Chen Zhengtai came, the situation of the small people in Yangzhou would be better, where did he think ...... It's still the same as it was.

Li Shimin thought to himself, even if it was better...... It's good to have a little better.

"There is one in thirty of the small people."

"I have a few acres of land at home......"

"Yes...... There are 30 acres of subdivided fields and 20 acres of Yongye fields. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "There are so many fields, it's enough to keep a family, right?" ”

When Liu Er heard this, he glanced at Li Shimin hesitantly.

Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "Why don't you speak?" Don't worry, I'm not guilty. ”

"My Yongye field has already been bought." Liu Erdao: "At that time, there was a disaster, and if you don't sell it, you will starve to death." As for the mouth of the field...... The government divided my family's land more than 20 miles away, but it was scattered, and the people were ...... Even if the people have the strength, they can't afford to farm. ”

Li Shimin looked puzzled, and said: "But I see that there are a lot of barren fields near your village, why do you divide your fields dozens of miles away?" ”

"This ...... This ......" Liu Er seemed to be vigilant and hesitated, but looking at these unusual people in front of him, he still said timidly: "The fields near our village are all distributed to people dozens of miles away, and they are also scattered, they can't come to farm, and we can't go to cultivate dozens of miles away, so this land is all barren." ”

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

The civil and military ministers at the back were also dumbfounded.

And such an operation?

Isn't this tantamount to deliberately dividing this field far away?

What's to be done? Did you deliberately leave this field barren?

Li Shimin couldn't help but be furious: "Chen Zhengtai is the governor of this place, how dare he do such a thing?" I come to ask you, why did they do this on purpose? ”

Liu Er didn't understand what I meant, but it could be seen that Li Shimin was furious, and he was also panicked for a while, and only said in a weak voice: "There is a large family surnamed Lu here, and they are all in collusion with the officers...... Xiao Min didn't dare to say how to get it, he only knew...... I only know...... Everyone's land can't be planted, but the tax needs to be paid, and then it can't be paid, so this land has to ask others to rent seeds, and you can share some rations at will, the output of the field, even if it is the Lu family, not only that, when everyone has no food to eat, they have to go to the Lu family to ask for a loan, once the loan is sold, it will never be repaid, and finally they have to sell themselves to the Lu family as a slave in order to gain a foothold, otherwise, they will starve to death. ”

Li Shimin was furious when he heard this, and couldn't help but curse: "Shameless! ”
