The people, officials, and their families who hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of palace food hurriedly got up, and after standing, they knelt down in their robes, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”

Carrying the beauty away, every time the emperor hears it, the corners of his mouth will hook up a sarcastic smile.

Long live the kings of the metropolis, but what emperor in the world has lived to be more than 100 years old since ancient times? It's just self-deception.

In the Qingyun Palace, which contrasted with the bright lights in the front hall, Zhao Yin, who was dressed in red clothes, stood in the silent courtyard, looking indifferently in the direction of the Dragon Yin Palace.

"Mother, it's late at night, you can rest!"

Zhao Yin's cold eyes didn't move, she only raised her hand into the night, and asked in a gentle voice: "Wanxin, do you know what kind of thing you can do for a person who loves him?" ”

Wanxin shook her head: "Niangniang, the slave and maid don't have a man to admire, I don't know anything." ”

Zhao Yin laughed silently, laughing and laughing, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

When she was young, she fell in love with someone and was willing to be imprisoned in a golden wire cage for his blood on his hands. She loves her hands full of blood, humble and straightforward, but her love, people don't want it!

"Love, it can make this palace tired, and I want to be relieved, but I can't bear it." So, the rest of the way now, Hell Yellow Spring, she recognizes it.

She... There is no way back.

At this moment, Zhao Yin was standing in the night in red, with a hideous smile, like a poisonous snake that was ready to attack in the dark and give people a fatal blow.

Wanxin hurriedly hung her head slightly, hiding the fear in her eyes.

……

It's been a long and fast year.

Years later, the frost and snow that had covered the northern border gradually began to melt, and the Qiang people also got the news of the shortage of grain and grass in Daqi, and tried to sneak attack several times, but they were unsuccessful once. And the neighbor of the Qiang people, the Jin Kingdom, also began to be ready to move on the Great Apocalypse.

It was just the beginning of spring, and there was not much surplus grain in the treasury, but there was a lot of grain in the south. The emperor ordered General Zhennan to rectify the surplus grain and send it to the north along with the treasury. However, the surplus grain from the treasury arrived soon after the year, but the southern one was nowhere to be seen.

The fireheads in the army are now reluctant to lose even a piece of vegetable leaves, and they can't wait for a grain of rice to make two buns.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer things to eat in the stove, Xiao Baoniang was so anxious that she didn't dare to eat more at every meal, for fear that she would finish eating, and the grain and grass would not be delivered to the hungry children.

Sanniang also knew that this matter was serious, she wanted to take out all the money in the family and go to the city to buy some, but unfortunately now Daqi is collecting grain everywhere, and the north is even more seriously short of food. The only two rice shops in the city are empty, and the shopkeepers are also worried about this matter. For this reason, Wei Ci also sent a letter back to Peach Blossom Town, hoping that his mother could help when the food and grass in the army were exhausted.

Qizhou, Taohua Town.

After receiving the letter from her son, Mrs. Wei began to sell grain everywhere without touching the ground. But now it's only spring, and there is not much surplus grain left in the rice shops in the city and town, and it's too late to get away. After a few days, they only bought a few carts, but the tenant farmers heard that the soldiers in the north were about to run out of food, and some of their sons were still on the battlefield, so they spontaneously carried the surplus grain from the family.

Mrs. Wei was supposed to give the silver at a whole price, but the tenant farmer refused: "Madam, we are bothering you to send it, so how can we be embarrassed to accept your money." My two sons and daughters have gone to the north to serve as soldiers, and there are only two people at home, my wife and me, and we can't finish eating. ”

That being said, in fact, after the tenant farmers paid the grain prescribed by the village every year, each family did not have much left.

Another tenant farmer also said, "Madam, you are ready to get it together and hurry up!" We old guys can't eat much, but don't suffer those children at the border! Those kids are not easy! ”

Anyway, the mountains and rivers of Qizhou are beautiful, even if there is no food to eat, go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables to wrap your stomach. Unlike the north, the yellow sand is everywhere, and there is dust as far as the eye can see, and there are not even a few birds flying by, let alone wild vegetables. How can the soldiers keep their territory and give them a peaceful life, but how can they still be allowed to fight hungry?

To be a man, you have to have a conscience.

Righteousness is mostly poor, and I don't know how many times more righteous than those who can only sweep the snow in front of their own doors.

Mrs. Wei stood on the highest step with her skirt up, looked at the people wearing patched old clothes but carrying rice and grain, and said profoundly: "Everyone, I, Wei Meng, on behalf of the border soldiers, thank you here today. I won't say much about the people who are helping today, I will have people register you in the register. From this year onwards, all of you tenants who rent farmland in our Weijiazhuang will have their rent reduced by 20% within three years. If you are not on my Weijiazhuang, if you encounter difficulties, you can come to the Wei family to help. ”

The Wei family's rent was already one percent less than that of other rich households, but now it has been reduced by two percent, and they will be able to afford the grain in the future. What a blessing this must be! The tenant farmers were grateful.

After the words of Mrs. Self-Defense spread, more tenant farmers brought in food. Regardless of whether they wanted to reduce the 20% rent or not, Mrs. Wei did what she said, and all the tenant farmers under the name of the Wei family who sent grain could be exempted from 20% of the rent for three years.

For a time, many tenant farmers spontaneously donated their surplus food at home.

After the food was filled with more than a dozen carts, it was delivered by the steward and his eldest son day and night.

.

In the north, the southwest wind guards the land.

The war drums sounded, and the princess of the Qiang Kingdom, Tuoba Ying, led the main army to attack, and the major generals led the troops to resist the enemy. The battle lasted all night, with numerous casualties on both sides, and it was not until dawn that the battle ceased.

In the main tent, the king of Zhenbei looked at the deployment map with a gloomy face, and said in a loud voice: "Send someone to go again, this king wants to see if Zhang Jingya, the old puppeteer, is crawling here." ”

"Father-in-law, it has been sent."

"Send it again, let someone bring a message to the group of turtle grandsons, and if you can't go back within half a month, Lao Tzu will personally cut off their dog's head."

The king of Zhenbei really knows that he can't wait to cut down the old horseman. The military rations have not arrived for a long time, and the officers and men of the army have been able to eat gruel for several days. If it weren't for the little grain and grass sent by the people around Huangsha Village, in the battle with the main force of the Qiang State last night, the soldiers would not even have the strength to take the sword.

is about the society, about the ruin of the country and the death of the family, Zhang Jingya's old puppet still only cares about his own small profits, which is really a vain general.

Huangsha Village.

Sanniang's family is okay, because she and Xuanxuan didn't like sweet potatoes very much in the past, and there are still a lot of sweet potatoes left at home. After giving some to Xiaobao and Cuiniu's family, the mother and son have been boiling sweet potatoes for the past few days.

Sanniang entered the house and saw Xuanxuan hiding something. When I walked in, it was actually two halves of boiled sweet potatoes, and I immediately asked funny: "Xuanxuan, what are you doing hiding sweet potatoes?" I'm afraid of going hungry! Don't worry, my mother won't let you go hungry. ”

was discovered by his mother, Xuan Xuan hurriedly shook his head and whispered: "Mother, Xuan Xuan wants to leave the sweet potatoes for his father and Uncle Shangguan to eat." Daddy, they beat the bad guys, and they want to eat. ”

Although he is small, he understands, and they are hungry now!

"Good boy." Sanniang sighed lightly, reached out and rubbed his head.

Is there an egg in the vast building? Even children understand the truth, why are there so many confused worms that people don't understand! The tens of thousands of soldiers in the north faced not the beasts in the forest, but the Qiang and Jin, who were more fierce and ambitious than the beasts. In the face of the war, only narrow-minded people can do it.

"Mother, why hasn't the emperor's rice arrived yet?"

Hearing the child ask, Sanniang's expression was slightly gloomy.

Why? Because of the partisanship of the court, because not all generals in the world are like the king of Zhenbei who worries about the country and the people for the Son of Heaven, because those people are only busy holding on to the power at hand, how ridiculous why!

"Xuanxuan, you remember, the reason why your father and Uncle Shangguan are hungry on the battlefield is because there are too many villains in the world. Listen well, in the future, I would rather be a gentleman than a villain, even if you are mediocre, you are worthy of your heart, this is the conscience of being a human being. Anything can be thrown away, but conscience can't. ”

If you don't even have a conscience, what kind of person can you talk about? What is the difference with livestock?

"Mother, Xuan Xuan remembers. In the future, be a big hero, fight the bad guys, and beat the villains. The little guy bowed his head, and his little face was serious and serious.

Sanniang didn't know that because of her teaching, the little guy has always remembered it since he was a child.

Many years later, on the northern frontier, there was a general who was jealous and hateful, and had a poisonous mouth and a real villain of the hypocrite White Lotus, and he also scolded people regardless of men and women, and almost ran away with his little daughter-in-law.

Of course, that's all for later.
