Chapter 239: The People's Heart
What's that? Am I embarrassed?
Wang Er immediately felt that his kindness had been treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, so he simply put the big pot with ginger soup on the street, and asked his son to put down the bowls, and then went home to sleep in a huff.
Damn Qiuhachi! Qiu Ba, who doesn't know what to do!
However, it wasn't until dawn the next day that the two damn Qiu Ba had already sent the pot of ginger soup that had been completely cooled and those bowls to the door early!
Wang Er wanted to drop the basin and drop the bowl again by the way, but after thinking about it, the other party was not his father, and this pot and bowl belonged to his own family, so he was distressed when he fell, so he had to take the basin angrily, and instructed his son to take the bowl, and after they were all put away, he was busy with those Qiu Ba.
Dog bites Lu Dongbin!
Compare those damn rebels, think about the neighbors and relatives outside the city who died because of this rebellion, and then look at these Qiu Ba who laughed like fools, Wang Er's heart was particularly uncomfortable.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Wang Er threw the brick in his hand hatefully, looked at the soldier who was busy next to him and said, "Do you say you are naΓ―ve?" If it's frozen like that at night, can't you drink a bowl of ginger soup? Am I going to tell people that I can't do it? β
Li Rusong, who was patrolling Putai County with Yang Shaofeng and others in the distance, was also puzzled: "It's just a bowl of ginger soup, and the commander of Qin is so strict in governing the army?" β
Qin Zining said: "This is the method of training soldiers taught by the champion Gong, and the most important thing is military discipline. A bowl of ginger soup looks like nothing, and a needle and a penny are nothing, but once you get used to it, it can be a big problem. β
Yang Shaofeng nodded and said, "They are from among the people, if they harm the people again, what will become of them?" β
Qin Zining smacked his lips and said: "I still remember that when I was in Liaozhou, Zhuangyuan Gong once said that he didn't care what method I used to block the river embankment, and no matter how many Liaozhou guards' soldiers died, at least he couldn't let the people have casualties before he personally filled in the river embankment."
Thinking about it now, I'm still a little scared that no matter how big the water was at that time, it is estimated that the grass on my grave should be three feet high. β
Li Rusong couldn't help but smack his tongue: "Fill the embankment? β
Qin Zining nodded and said, "It's to fill the river embankment and take people to fill it." At that time, the river embankment was unstable, and it was raining heavily, so there was no other way than to take people to fill it. β
Although he knew that the embankment must have been stabilized, otherwise Qin Zining would not be able to stand here and brag, Li Rusong still felt the thrill of the time from Qin Zining's words: "What about later? How's the embankment? How are the people? β
Qin Zining said: "The embankment is naturally guarded, and the people are safe and sound. To tell the truth, including me, everyone up and down in Liaozhou couldn't believe that not a single citizen died in such a heavy rain! β
"That's great!"
Li Rusong couldn't help but be envious: "If the soldiers in Shandong are the same as the soldiers of your Qin commander, it will not destroy tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, let alone give Tang Sai'er a chance to get into trouble." β
Yang Shaofeng said: "It'll get better." Li Zhixian treats the people, you can see some from these people, I think they will have a much better life in the future, and no one will follow Tang Sai'er to make trouble. β
After looking left and right, Yang Shaofeng continued: "In another three or five days, the matter in this Putai County should be about the same, right?" β
Li Rusong nodded and replied: "Putai County is not big in the first place, and with the help of these squad troops, it is estimated that it will be able to recover in two or three days." What's the matter, Yang Hanlin is leaving Potai County? β
Yang Shaofeng said: "It's time to move on." The official originally wanted to solve Tang Sai'er easily, but this Tang Sai'er never showed up, and the official had all the strength, but he didn't know where to go, so it was better to go to Jimo as soon as possible. β
When it was almost time to walk around in Putai County, Yang Shaofeng and the others went back to their residence directly, leaving Li Rusong alone to continue to wander around the city.
Zhu Zhanji was very curious: "Are you really planning to leave?" Regardless of that Tang Sai'er? β
Yang Shaofeng shook his head: "It's not that I don't care, but I can't care about it now."
I've thought about it, then Tang Sai'er's subordinates are all rabble, they couldn't break through Potai when we didn't come, and now they don't have the courage to come to us for trouble, so we have to go out, and we have to go out with great fanfare, and lead Tang Sai'er to take the initiative to attack us. β
Zhu Zhanji nodded, and suddenly became a little worried: "It is said that Tang Sai'er is as beautiful as a flower, you won't have any thoughts about her, right?" β
Yang Shaofeng suddenly looked at Zhu Zhanji with a bewildered expression: "Like a flower? Do I have a heart for her? Is it because my daughter-in-law is not beautiful, or is my maid unacceptable? It's good that people like Tang Sai'er are dead, what do I think? β
β¦β¦
The yard has almost been cleaned up, and all that remains is to slowly rebuild the destroyed house and courtyard walls.
These things can't help Wang Er, and they can't help Shandong people, anyway, as long as they are willing to work hard, sooner or later they will be done.
And strength is the most worthless thing for the crop man.
But Wang Er couldn't sleep, even if he forced himself to close his eyes again and again, it was useless, his mind was full of the smirks of those Qiu Ba who slept on the street when he was working for himself, and the truths that the Buddha's mother once said.
It's like two little people fighting in their heads.
Mother Buddha said that the government only recognizes money and not people, and the officers and soldiers are the lackeys of the dog officials, and they all eat human flesh and drink human blood.
Mother Buddha said that all the dog officials in the world are the same, and they are more ruthless than the others.
The Buddha mother said that the dog emperor was exempted from the people's taxes, and he was going to make up for it from other places, or let the gentry increase the rent, and the dog emperor would take it back from them, which was the method that the dog emperor came up with in order to trap the people.
The Buddha's mother said that everyone can't live now, it's those dog officials and the dog emperor who made trouble and made them rebel, and when King Ming comes to the world, everyone will have a good life.
Wang Er was willing to believe before, and the people of Potai County were also willing to believe, and all those people who couldn't eat were willing to believe.
But Wang Er was suspicious now.
If you want to create a rebellion between the emperor and those dog officials, why do you want to attack the county seat of Putai? Why did you kill the surrounding villages? Why take the food from the poor people?
Starve your father and mother, don't eat the grain, this is the rule handed down by the ancestors for thousands of years, that is, I am afraid that the grain will be gone, and there will be no harvest in the future, but if you rebel, you will kill people and not even let go of children? If you rebel, you have to rob even the grain?
The brother-in-law's family, who believed in the Buddha's mother, died under the knife of the rebels, and even the dolls in the confinement were not spared, and his father-in-law's family was considered to be the last one.
The courtyard of his house was also demolished by the government when the Buddhist army attacked the city.
At that time, did he really hate the dog officials of the government or the lackeys of those officials.
However, the new official said that the government would compensate for the demolished house according to the price, and he had already received the money, which was a real copper coin, not a treasure banknote.
The new official said that there would be grain brought over, including food to eat and grain, and the emperor and the government would ensure that everyone would not go hungry and that everyone would have grain to cultivate in the coming year.
The Qiu Ba brought by the new officials helped him clean up the house, no one complained and no one asked for money, and no one even took a sip of the ginger soup that he boiled and sent over, and later gave himself a few pennies, which was regarded as firewood money and ginger money, saying that he could not let the people suffer.
Is it that those who are in power have changed their temperament? Or are those hiccups acting?
But what are they trying to do?
Human life is not valuable, and one's own yard is not worth much, so it is not worth the hard work of the government and the eight masters of Qiu, right?
Or, is the Buddha's mother wrong, not all the officials in the world are the same officials, some are bad, but there are also good? The emperor is not dedicated to pit the people, and there are good ones?
Who is the good guy? Who is the bad guy?
Wang Er suddenly felt a headache.
If the emperor exempted the people from paying taxes in order to let those gentry collect more, and then the emperor would make up for it, then directly slaughter those gentry, wouldn't the tenants have to pay rent anymore?
If you had read some books at the beginning, you shouldn't have such a headache now, right?
As soon as the sky was dark, Wang Er, who had not fallen asleep after baking bread all night, put on his clothes and planned to go out again to see the Qiu Ba who were sleeping on the street.
The streets are quiet, and the Qiuba, who should usually be asleep, are sleeping at the moment, but they are all carrying boxy bedding, those with firearms in their hands, and those with knives and guns with knives and guns, looking like they are about to be pulled.
Wang Er walked quickly to the soldiers who had been helping his family in the past few days, and asked in a low voice, "Master Jun, are you leaving?" β
The straight soldier who stood didn't pay attention to Wang Er, as if the soldier who liked to giggle and chat when he was working a few days ago had changed a person, no matter how Wang Er asked, the soldier just didn't reply, just looked ahead without squinting, looking like Wang Er didn't exist at all.
Stomping his feet, Wang Er simply took a few steps forward in the direction where the team was standing, and found a small flag that was completely different from the ordinary soldiers: "Master Jun, are you leaving?" β
Xiaoqi looked at Wang Er, nodded and said, "Yes, I'll open it later." β
"Then why don't you wait until it's completely dawn before leaving? How difficult is the road to walk at this time? β
"The military order is like a mountain," Xiaoqi is not like an ordinary soldier, but it is rare to have a little talk: "The military order says that if you want to go now, then you have to go now, you have to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire in front, and you can't turn back if there is a mountain of gold and silver behind you." β
Wang Er blinked his eyes and asked, "What about the rebels?" You don't care? β
Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Then I don't know, what it says, we will do it." β
"What if I have news of the rebels?"
"You have?" Xiao Qi's face couldn't help but become solemn: "If you have, I will take you to see the Chief Banner, maybe you can still see Commander Qin." β
Wang Er gritted his teeth and said, "Nacheng, you take me there, I have news." β
