985 Salty and Salty Porridge with Vegetables (Part II)

After Ma Yuan grew up and began to travel from south to north, every time he smelled the aroma of cooked food, he wanted to cry.

While crying, he thought that if such a day had come a year or two earlier, maybe his father and mother would not have to die and would have been able to eat salty and salty thick vegetable porridge.

It was the life he had dreamed of, and now, it was a real life.

He was not sure outside the Tuntian Farm, because he knew that there were still many people who did not live in the Tuntian Farm.

They were still working as serfs in the Haoqiang manor, living a life that Ma Yuan didn't want to recall, and he didn't know what the life of those serfs was.

He could probably imagine that those people would not be better off than he remembered.

Outside of Haoqiang Manor, he has traveled from south to north and has seen countless tuntian farms directly under the government, and he can guarantee that there is really no one in the farm who is hungry, and there will be no food.

What is a good day?

Maybe it's a good day.

And, perhaps after a long time, he even thinks that any place should be like this.

People can eat and smile.

Although the work is very tiring, there will also be natural disasters, and the sky is almost dark and you have to work in the fields, so tired that you can't straighten your waist.

They will also be gathered by officials to repair water conservancy projects tirelessly, or to collect grain, or to transport intoxicating manure, or even to fight with neighboring villages for the ownership of several truckloads of manure.

In order to save more food for the mother-in-law and children at home, they will also brave the cold wind to go out, participate in various projects of the government, earn a little wages, and eat a few meals managed by the government by the way.

It's tiring, it's bitter, it's ordinary.

But if you have food to eat, you can eat enough, and the salt is enough to eat.

I don't want to think about the luxury of fruits, and I also dream of cakes and the like, but during the New Year's holidays, I can occasionally buy some meat and open meat, and the family can have a meal together.

The fat, oily, greasy big fat slices, the elders turned red when they saw the circles in their eyes, and then they wiped their tears, and they were reluctant to eat it anyway, so they let the children at home eat it.

Those tiger-headed boys have a good life, they have lived under the rule of His Majesty the Emperor all their lives, I don't know how the elders survived, their eyes lit up when they looked at the fat slices, and they swallowed a large piece in one bite, and they didn't chew it, they swallowed it directly, and then licked their lips and pointed to the next piece.

The white-haired elders of the angry family blew their beards and glared, and slapped them on it, so that they must chew it hard before they can swallow it.

Chew carefully, chew slowly, chew seriously!

It's meat! It's meat! How many generations of our ancestors have never eaten meat! You swallowed it without chewing it?

What a wickedness!

Ma Yuan wanted to laugh.

Because the fat slices are slippery and greasy, one bite is full of fat, and it goes down as soon as you swallow it, you don't have to chew it at all, that fragrant!

Every time he thought about these things, he couldn't stop laughing.

But when he entered Lan City, he was suddenly shocked.

It's not that the whole world has changed for the better, it's just that the country he lives in has been changed for the better by the Son of Heaven to whom he is loyal.

Outside the scope of the Son of Heaven's rule, or where the Son of Heaven could not intervene, it was business as usual.

You can also see people in rags and disfigured clothes.

You can also see people with the word hunger written on their faces.

You can also see the person who walks aimlessly and aimlessly that he can't forget no matter what.

They walked and walked, not knowing where they were going, not knowing if they could get to where they wanted to go, not knowing when they would suddenly fall down and never get up again.

Just like the people around Ma Yuan who fled together.

Ma Yuan suddenly wanted to cry.

He suddenly remembered what the lecturer had said to them in a class in the Linzi training camp when he had not yet ascended the throne today.

The lecturer told them that General Guo could protect the people in the Tuntian Farm from starvation, and that everyone could eat salt, but General Guo also had people who could not be protected.

The people in the camp were weird.

Everyone thinks that how can a strong man like General Guo have someone who can't be protected?

General Guo is so strong and brave that even the world-famous Yuan Shao is not his opponent.

General Guo always wins battles, and every time he wins, he will bring everyone delicious food, so everyone is very happy, knowing that once something good is delivered, it is General Guo who has won the battle.

How could such a General Guo have something that he couldn't do?

Then the lecturer talked about how General Guo rescued the same peasant sons from Haoqiang Manor and sent them to Tuntian Farm through struggle, and told the story of the oppression of serfs in Haoqiang Manor, and the past when they couldn't even eat.

This is something that those of them in the training camp can relate to.

So their hearts are filled with hatred.

It was full of hatred for the masters of the manor, hatred for those who stood in the way of General Guo and did not let General Guo save them.

I can't wait to tear them apart.

The lecturer said that General Guo was able to save them because they were lucky, but there were still many people who were unlucky and still lived a miserable life in Haoqiang Manor.

Ma Yuan hated it so much that he raised his hand and asked the lecturer where the damn manor owners were.

He will spare his life to kill all those bastards for General Guo, rescue all the hungry and cold peasant families, and let them eat and clothe themselves together, and never starve and freeze again.

The lecturer had a sad expression.

The lecturer said that those people were literate, knowledgeable, and able to govern the country, and they were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court, and they were General Guo's indispensable helpers in governing the world.

Without them, General Guo would not be able to rule, and General Guo would have to compromise with them, otherwise even the people who had been rescued now, including their group, would not be able to survive.

The power of those people is too huge, General Guo has only one person, single-handedly, no matter how hard he tries, he can't beat them, General Guo is too lonely.

General Guo hated them, but he also hated his own incompetence, often crying and sighing, feeling that he was very powerless.

So all the people who were listening to the lecture cried.

While crying and gritting his teeth, he clenched his fists, hating that he couldn't kill those bastards for General Guo, and that he couldn't let those people die immediately and change the color of the world.

Ma Yuan hated those people even more, and he clenched his fists and asked the lecturer what he could do to save those who were still starving and cold.

The lecturer told him with a serious face that he should study hard, work hard to master knowledge, and strive to one day replace the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who prevented General Guo from saving the peasants.

As long as they have the strength to help General Guo govern the country, as long as they form a scale, then General Guo will have the confidence to take action against those who stand in his way, take them all, and liberate all those who are still starving and freezing.

Eradicate all the mighty, destroy all the estates where the serfs are imprisoned, and rescue them all.

Let them all eat thick vegetable porridge, eat all-you-can-eat, and salt can be added to the thick vegetable porridge, salty.

The children in the training camp are General Guo's hope for the future.

General Guo used his own food money to subsidize them, so that they could be fed and clothed, could eat meat, and could read and learn their skills, in order to make them the hope of the future.

General Guo never expected them to reciprocate anything, but only hoped that they would not forget the suffering they had suffered and the hunger they had suffered, and that they would study hard to change this terrible status quo.

That was the beginning of many of the partners in the training camp who vowed to fight for General Guo at the cost of their lives.

Everyone knew that General Guo wanted to save them all, but some people stopped General Guo from letting him.

Such a thing was deeply engraved in Ma Yuan's mind.

He grew and studied day after day with a deep hatred for those powerful dignitaries, and then successfully graduated, was allowed to leave the training camp, and hid his hatred deeply, walking the land, traveling north and south.

There are many, many people like him.

Now that he has traveled from south to north and has seen more, he is sure that what the lecturer said is not wrong at all.

General Guo at that time, and Wei Tianzi now, is really difficult.

Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court, everyone has a farm at home, they all have private property, and all peasant households are not free, and they cultivate for them on their land in exchange for a very pitiful mouthful of food, just like he once was.

Tens of thousands of powerful manors, millions or even tens of millions of manor serfs, they are really existing on this land.

The various preferential policies formulated by his beloved Son of Heaven for the farmers are not enjoyed by these people.

They could not enjoy any preferential policies that belonged to the people of Wei.

Tax reductions, tax exemptions, access to grain, oil, rice and flour, and land grants, so many good policies, these people can't enjoy them.

Aren't these people the people of Wei?

If so, why can't they enjoy such a policy?

If not, why did they live on the land of Wei?

How can such a thing be allowed to continue to happen?

He wanted to replace the bastards, to help his beloved Emperor take out the bastards and free the oppressed people from them.

So that they can eat enough, they can dress warmly, they can eat salty and salty thick vegetable porridge, and their stomachs are about to explode!

has experienced a dreamy life, from a humble little ant to a person who His Majesty the Emperor can trust and entrust with important responsibilities.

He stood with His Majesty the Emperor, won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and personally appointed the official position, and was responsible for carrying out such an important pioneering task and opening up the Silk Road for His Majesty the Emperor.

Taking a slight breath, Ma Yuan calmed down.

This is not the Wei country, this is the Kushan country.

There is no His Majesty the Emperor who he swore to repay with his life, all of them here are probably the same courtiers and emperors as those bastards, and this is the same as the Han Empire before it fell apart.

People here are not lucky enough.

They did not meet General Guo, the son of Wei.

Ma Yuan can only sincerely apologize to them, because he can't save them, and he still has people who need to be saved even more.

Through various ways and through various channels, he followed His Majesty the Emperor, whom he revered infinitely, to overcome obstacles and eliminate all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who stood in the way, so that every citizen of Wei could really be fed, clothed, and read and write.

In this way, the life he earned back will really be worth it.

He was originally a man who was going to starve to death, but because he met His Majesty the Emperor, he survived by luck, and every day he lives now was bought for him by His Majesty the Emperor, and he was very content.

I don't know when I'm going to die, but I'm already earning to be alive now.

Therefore, before he died, he hoped that he could do his best to do more for His Majesty the Emperor, eradicate more moths for His Majesty the Emperor, and dedicate himself to keeping more people fed.

Dumping goods on trade routes was one way to achieve the goal, because His Majesty the Emperor told him that it took money to do great things.

Then he will try to earn more money for His Majesty the Emperor.

Make His Majesty the Emperor satisfied, and use the money to save more people.

These people in front of him are the same as him.

But alas, these people are not within the scope of his salvation, and their luck is too bad.

They were destined not to eat the bowl of salty porridge.

Sighing slightly, putting away his heavy thoughts, Ma Yuan followed the merchants of Guishan towards the city.
