Hearing Yun Shen's words, Shen Zhimeng calmed down, yes, no matter what the specific situation is now, only calmness can handle things well, "Okay, then let's hurry over and ask someone, if things really get out of control, maybe we still need to go to the city." ”

Seeing her anxious look, Yun Shen didn't say anything, and pulled Xiao Douding and walked over there.

Because today's weather is not bad, many people nearby are drying things outside the house, and Shen Zhimeng quickly found an aunt who is empty.

"Auntie, I want to ask, it has been raining so often recently, is your harvest okay?" Shen Zhimeng walked over and asked.

Because Shen Zhimeng is now dressed as a man, looking like just a little boy, the aunt turned her head to look at Yun Shen who was pulling the child, and hesitated to speak, "Little boy, I think you should be a child of a rich and noble family, you have money in your family, so naturally you won't care about this kind of problem, unlike ordinary people like us, who can only rely on the sky to eat, this time it has rained for so long, it must be false to say that it has no impact on the harvest, just the crops grown in my family's little field, The harvest is at least half less than in previous years, it's just that those magistrates don't let us report it, if something like this happens near the capital, then the court must not be in chaos! ”

"But there is more than one magistrate, and this place is so close to the capital, you can go directly to the capital to sue Dali Temple, and say that the magistrate is completely inconsiderate of the people's feelings!" Shen Zhimeng said curiously, "Isn't our current majesty the most important thing about the opinions of the common people, if this kind of thing really makes trouble in Dali Temple, the emperor will definitely not sit idly by!" ”

"Although that's the case, but how can this kind of thing not exist if the officials protect each other, if the Dali Temple suppresses the matter, we ordinary people will not have to live more miserable, and the magistrates don't dare to be too embarrassed by this situation, if we endure it, maybe we can survive this time!" The aunt let out a long sigh and then spoke.

Hearing this, Shen Zhimeng felt very angry, "Auntie, can you tell me about the specific situation here?" Although I am young now, I still know one or two big people who can talk, and if I figure out the situation, I will go into the city and report the matter later, and I will never let you have an accident! ”

Although she was very moved by Shen Zhimeng's words, the aunt did not continue to say, "Little boy, forget it, we people will not starve to death, and you don't have to provoke yourself with this kind of thing, you are a kind-hearted person, but the officialdom is too dark, so don't hurt your family!" ”

The aunt is a kind-hearted person, and after seeing Shen Zhimeng thinking about herself so hard, she rejected Shen Zhimeng's kindness and didn't want her to get into trouble.

"It's okay, unless the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince don't want to take care of this matter, no one can do anything with me!" Shen Zhimeng could also guess the concerns in her heart, so he opened his mouth to explain to her, "Auntie, don't worry! ”

Hearing Shen Zhimeng say this, the aunt was still a little hesitant.

"Auntie, just say it directly, I am Yun Shen, the closed disciple of Master Wuxi, I usually follow my master around, and I still know many people, if you make the situation clear, I will enter the city with this little boy later!" Yun Shen saw that the people had been refusing to explain the situation clearly, so he took a step forward and spoke.

Just now, the aunt saw Yun Shen pulling a child, only Shen Zhimeng was the son of a big family, because she felt bored when she went to the temple to incense, so she let the little master in the temple lead it down to play, and now listening to Yun Shen's introduction, she felt that what Shen Zhimeng said just now may not be false.

"It turned out to be Master Yunshen!" The eldest aunt lives near here, and naturally she has heard of the names of Hatless and Yun Shen, so she also made a Buddhist salute to Yun Shen very religiously, and then slowly spoke, "Since both of you have asked so, then I will not hide it." There are more than 100 villagers living near us, although it is said that it is very close to the capital, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the capital, and the magistrate who governs us here also came to see it a few days ago, but he said that the rain is not an abnormal phenomenon, but it is a little more rain, and it will not be a big problem, let us not think about those who have it, it is enough to do our own things, if the harvest is really bad at that time, he will find a way to help us solve the problem of taxation. ”

"Is it just you here?" Shen Zhimeng hurriedly asked, "Taxation is a matter for the entire imperial court, if only you have a bad harvest here, then he may still be a magistrate who can do a good job of taxation, but if there are many places where the harvest is not good, this matter cannot be hidden?" ”

"We don't know about this, because there has been a lot of rain recently, so we can't go out, and occasionally in good weather, we have to be busy snatching the crops in the field back home, and we can collect a little more!" When the aunt said this, there was still some helplessness in her tone: "Yesterday, our family discussed with the nearby villagers, and everyone decided to build a granary, and everyone put the food they grabbed into it, and then distribute the food according to the population of each family, and see if everyone can survive this difficulty by working together!" Usually, when the harvest is good, after paying taxes every year, in addition to what the family eats, there will be surplus food, but I don't know what it will be like this year! ”

After saying the words loudly, Shen Zhimeng was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Auntie, what you just said just now is that you will have surplus food in previous years, right?" Since there is food to spare, it shouldn't be a big problem to get through this difficulty! ”

"Little boy, don't you know, we can't eat the excess food and get worms, so we will choose to sell it, and then the money from the sale of food will be used to supplement the family, we also went to the capital two days ago to see, and now those shops that sell food can't find the source, let alone sell it to us ordinary people!" The aunt slowly spoke, "But although we can't buy food, we have also prepared some adaptable crops, and we plan to plant them in the next two days, although the harvest may not be very good, but it can play a role, so let's use some!" ”

Seeing her aunt like this, Shen Zhimeng also had some bad feelings in her heart, when she was born, the General's Mansion itself had already lived a good life, so she had never suffered, plus the Feng family would send some rare treasures over from time to time, so she couldn't understand what it was like to be in the famine a few years ago. If she really heard people sigh about this kind of thing, she just felt that she was too powerless.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will go into the city and report this matter later, it has been raining for so long, there must be more problems than you here, if there is this situation in most places, the court will definitely not be able to sit idly by!" Shen Zhimeng said solemnly, "But auntie, you also have to tell the people around here, if it is really someone from the capital who asks about your specific situation, you must report it truthfully, don't hide it, otherwise this matter may not be better handled!" ”

"We naturally know, if the little boy really has a way to let those big people in the capital take care of this matter, we will naturally tell the truth about all the circumstances, but if the little boy feels that this matter is a little difficult, don't do it again, so as not to affect the people in the family!" The aunt said earnestly, "The little boy can be with Master Yun Shen, it must not be a simple character, but don't delay the bright future of the little boy because of these things!" ”

Hearing that the eldest aunt was still in the third and emphasized not to affect her own affairs, Shen Zhimeng's heart was naturally moved, she gently patted the aunt's arm, and comforted, "Auntie, don't worry, my future will not be delayed so easily, and I will definitely take care of this matter!" After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for her aunt to say anything more, and turned her head to look at Yun Shen, "It seems that in this case, we have to go to the city!" ”

The latter nodded, "Then let's go into town!" ”

"What about the little bean dice?" Shen Zhimeng was a little hesitant, if she and Yun Shen really wanted to enter the city, then it would be a little troublesome to take Xiaodouding.

"You wait a minute." Yun Shen naturally knew what Shen Zhimeng was worried about, so he motioned for her to wait for a while, and then pulled Xiao Douding and walked in the other direction, "Since you have already followed all the way, you can also come down now?" ”

As soon as Yun Shen's words were finished, two people jumped down from the tree on the side, both of whom Shen Zhimeng had seen.

"Little Master has good skills, since he found our place so easily!" One person stepped forward and said with a smile: "I just don't know how the little master found us?" ”

"I just thought this tree was a little weird, and I thought I'd give it a try, but I didn't expect it to be!" Yun Shen smiled and said, "It must be so close, you should have heard our words, you should take care of this child for the time being!" ”

"It turned out that it was discovered so easily, so let's pay attention to it next time!" The man touched his head, "But taking care of children is such a thing...... Several of us big men have never been married, so we may not be particularly suitable for this kind of thing! ”

Yun Shen showed a polite smile, "It's not a big deal, you just need to send her back to the mountain safely and hand her over to Xiaoyu!" ”
