It is indeed Tiance Mansion that is doing something.

But it's not just the Tiance Mansion that is making trouble.

……

A moment later, in the post station, there were all brothers in each other's comrades, and the total number of people who changed and the original station was twenty.

In addition to these twenty people, there is not even a cook who cooks, and there is only one stove in the whole station, and there is a large cauldron for thirty people on the stove.

Because it was evening, it was the time of the day to eat dinner, so there was food in the cauldron, but unfortunately it was just a pot of porridge with clear soup and little water.

The color is green, and at first glance it is a wild vegetable soup.

Bang!

The lid of the pot was slammed against the stove.

Gu Tianya's face was a little ugly, and he suddenly turned to look at the ten soldiers, and said, "Take out the dry food you have with you, and also bring the dried meat on the horses." ”

The ten soldiers did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the station.

After a little effort, he entered the door carrying a dozen pockets, ten of which were cakes, and the other two were all jerky.

With a bang, ten bags of flatbread were still on the table.

As for the two pockets of jerky, they were held by a post guard in both hands, and the soldier looked a little hesitant, and said in a low voice: "These jerky are specially prepared for you by the princess......

Gu Tianya glared at him and said angrily: "Everyone is a brother in the army, why should I eat meat alone?" Take it out and give it to them to eat. ”

The soldier had no choice but to open one of the pockets, his face was very reluctant, and he dragged out ten pieces of dried meat, and said: "Ten of us can only eat cakes, and the ten brothers of Wuyangyi can eat meat." ”

The ten post guards on the opposite side hurriedly got up, shook their heads together, and said, "We don't eat meat either, this is the meat that the princess gave to the handsome." ”

Gu Tianya was furious, ran over and gave a kick, and scolded: "Whoever dares to be crooked, I will punish him to get out, sit down for me, and give each person a piece of jerky." ”

When the soldiers saw that he was angry, they only resigned, so one of them picked up a piece of jerky and devoured it.

A piece of meat, more than half a catty.

This is a real air-dried meat, and it is the meat specially prepared by Zhaoning for Gu Tianya.

After chewing and swallowing, it is worth two or three catties of grain.

The ten soldiers of Wuyang Station were hungry for too long, and their neck tendons were bulging when they ate meat, Gu Tianya was afraid that they would choke to death, so he hurriedly asked people to go to the big pot to serve soup, and the ten Wuyang Yi soldiers made vegetable soup violently, and ate twenty or thirty flatbreads in a blink of an eye.

And the ten post guards in Gujia Village were full after eating only four or five flatbreads.

It was only at this time that Gu Tianya suppressed his anger, and asked with his eyes: "Say, why are you starving like this bird?" What about the soldiers sent to you by the Women's Army? What about the food that is distributed to you every six months? ”

But seeing that the head of Wuyangyi stood up, he wiped the corners of his eyes without speaking, and then said: "Handsome, blame me, it's because I don't have the ability to let the ten brothers suffer." ”

"I'm asking where is your food?" Gu Tianya shouted violently, and it seemed that anger was rising again.

He took two steps forward abruptly, kicked down heavily, and scolded: "As a post guard of the Women's Army, you are trembling with hunger, how can you garrison the post station?" How can you shelter one side? Raise your head, look me in the eye and reply......"

It's a pity that the head of Wuyang Post bowed his head in shame.

On the contrary, it was a post man who was aggrieved and uncomfortable, and finally spoke loudly on the side, saying: "Dashuai, our post chief is not wrong." He was the most hungry, and he was the most stressed. You ask where the grain goes, right? We gave food to the people......"

The soldier's chest was very high.

His face was full of pride, and he said loudly: "At present, there are hungry people everywhere, they know that there is food in the post station, so they kneel at the door and beg for help, Dashuai, didn't you build the post station to protect the people?" We obeyed your commands and gave all the food to the people. We, we didn't disgrace the Women's Army. ”

After these words were spoken, the ten post guards of Gujia Village were full of respect, but Gu Tianya laughed angrily, and suddenly kicked this soldier to the ground.

Everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to disagree, but said with a face full of grievances: "Dashuai, we really didn't embarrass the women's army." ”

Gu Tianya gritted his teeth and nodded: "You really didn't embarrass the Women's Army, but both of you are stupid." ”

After he finished scolding, he suddenly sighed, and personally bent down to pull the post man up, and then pulled up the Wuyang post chief who kicked him to the ground.

He looked at the ten soldiers of Wuyangyi, and said with a teaching: "Do you know what the steps of the court to relieve the famine are?" I don't know, let me tell you. Officials first, pawns later, men first, women and children later, give priority to the strong men to be full, and then take care of the old and weak...... If the officials and soldiers are not fed, even if they watch the people starving, they can't be saved, this is not a cruel heart, but an experience passed down for thousands of years, and if they don't do this, more people will die. It was most likely not starvation, but worthless unjust. ”

The soldiers present were stunned.

Gu Tianya snorted, and said with a look of hatred: "If the official starves to death, who will organize the soldiers to provide disaster relief?" If the soldiers can't eat enough, how can they have the strength to deter one side? The more famine there is, the easier it is to breed bandits, so I ask you now, if someone robs when he is hungry and mad, will you see it and ignore it? If someone is hungry and dehumanized and wants to cook a child, you don't care about it when you see it? ”

Wuyang Yichang didn't think about it, and blurted out: "We must take care of it and never let this kind of thing happen." ”

Gu Tianya stepped forward and kicked again, and scolded fiercely: "Do you have a strong trachea?" Can you still handle a knife? You were so hungry just now that you couldn't stand on your feet. ”

The head of Wuyang Station stood on the spot.

He finally understood what he had done wrong......

Until this time, Gu Tianya seemed to have exhausted all his anger, he stretched out his hand and pulled Wuyang Yichang up again, and said earnestly: "It's not that Ben Shuai is ruthless, Ben Shuai doesn't want the people to starve to death, it's you who are handsome, and you don't even know how to prioritize." If you give food to the people, you will indeed save some people from life, but if you yourself are crumbling with hunger, you will kill more people. ”

Wuyang Yi Chang knelt on the ground with a puff, and suddenly hugged his thighs and cried, howling: "Dashuai, there are really people cooking children." I've seen it once, and the kid's eyes never close. He was looking at me, and he was asking me why I didn't save him! ”

He cried tears in his eyes, his face was full of self-blame and remorse, and he kept saying: "Dashuai, I should die, I really deserve to die, I was really hungry and weak at that time, and I couldn't stop those cooking children's offal, if I could save a little food for myself, I would have the strength to save the child from being cooked, but I should die, I didn't leave any food for myself......"

Gu Tianya gritted his teeth and tried not to let himself listen to this.

He put his hands behind his back, suddenly looked outside, and said in a deep voice: "The entire Wuyang County, less than a thousand households, I have read the county register of Wuyang County before coming here, and found that every year when the green and yellow are not available, the court will allocate a little grain to Hebei, although it cannot help all the people, but it can ensure that five or six hundred households will not die of hunger." In addition, there is a rich family in the county, which can support more than 100 households, and the county government is in the town, which can also help some people, so there are only a few dozen displaced households in Wuyang County every year. ”

He paused here, his eyes faintly flashed a ray of coldness, and he said: "But this year, it is obviously different, it can force you to be like this, obviously there are definitely more than dozens of displaced people in this area, so this matter is worth pondering, where did these extra displaced people come from?" ”

Wuyang Yi Chang wiped a handful of tears, gritted his teeth and said, "South." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at Gu Tianya, tears rolled down his eyes and he said, "Those homeless people who fled the famine were driven from the south. ”

Gu Tianya's face flashed with murder, and he said: "Sure enough, it is the handiwork of Tiance Mansion, but I don't know which Zhichong Mansion is so bold." ”

He slowly walked a few steps and stood at the door of the post station with his hands in his hands.

His eyes seemed to be leisurely, looking at the south side of Wuyangyi, and he said in a deep voice: "Our Tang Dynasty is a government soldier system, and every place has a Zhichong Mansion, and the soldiers cultivate the land on weekdays, and they are recruited as government soldiers in wartime, and Tiance Mansion sits in the Central Plains, and their authority is shrouded in four provinces plus one Luo, and they have three hundred and twenty-four Zhichong Mansions, which is very different from the military of our women's army......"

These military formations were familiar to all the soldiers present.

Although Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion claims to be an army of 200,000, in fact, there are only more than 30,000 real professional soldiers, and the rest are all government soldiers.

And the government soldiers, on weekdays, are under the jurisdiction of the Zhichong government.

The army of the women's army is slightly different, and there are very few Zhichong mansions established in Hebei, because Zhaoning likes to raise soldiers, and she does not want the people to serve as government soldiers for free, so the women's army will be poor and bitter, just because more than 80,000 people in the 200,000 army are professional soldiers.

The remaining more than 100,000 people are not the kind of self-sufficient government soldiers, they will also have soldiers, so the women's army will call itself a family.

They were raised by Zhaoning, and they were naturally loyal to Zhaoning.

At this time, the head of Wuyang seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "There are also some homeless people, it seems that they came from the west, and a Zhichong Mansion was just built there, but these homeless people were not brought here, but it seemed to be to avoid trouble, not deliberately." ”

Gu Tianya sneered and asked, "How many displaced people are there in the west?" ”

Wuyang Yichang thought for a while, stretched out three fingers and said, "There must be three hundred households, all of which look like they are dragging their families." ”

"That is, leaving home, belonging to the whole family, this is really not forced by others, but I want to avoid the disaster......"

"Yes, they don't look like they've been forced."

"And how many homeless people are there from the south?"

"There are a lot of people over there, there are 2,300 people, and they are all old and young, women and children, and it is rare to see strong men and men."

"Hmph, the men are soldiers, I'm afraid they have all been conscripted into government soldiers."

"Dashuai, is there something to say about this?"

Gu Tianya sneered again, nodded and said, "It's not just a statement, this is someone doing something." ”
