Chapter 478: East Palace News
The victims of the disaster, naturally there are no human beings, they have suffered a great disaster, the family is ruined, the light is uprooted, the old and the young, there is no food and water all the way, they are full of wind and frost, and they are helped by the government when they arrive at the ground, and they are hungry and full, and no matter how strong the man is, he will become yellow and thin. If you think about it, you also know that if the farmers sent are all white and fat, fat heads and big ears, and a happy scene of raising the New Year's pig army, it will be too subversive of logic.
Li Su didn't mean to plant the branch, but he just looked at the appearance of the dealers, and his heart hurt a little.
He is also a person who has come over in hard times, when he and his father depended on each other, for a bite of food at home, he endured hunger in his teens, and built a toilet for the rich landlord all night, and his father did not say a word, jumping into the icy water to dig a ditch for people in winter, and those days still feel so sad in retrospect.
These farmers in front of him, their situation is similar to that of his own back then, or even worse, not to mention that these people will be members of his Li family in the future, and before they settle down, Li Su inevitably has a bit of a calf protection mentality, and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with the Du Branch.
The little official shouted loudly, his expression was very sad and indignant, and he swore by the heavens and the earth, and even his ancestors took it into the oath, very sincere.
In this era when the officials are pure and the people are pure, and the folk atmosphere in the court is surprisingly good, it is a very serious crime for the government to withhold the rations of the victims.
When the little official was angry and angry, a dealer couldn't stand it anymore, and finally stood up after hesitating.
"This nobleman, you are wrong to blame Lord Qi, the government did not detain us, people who have no home and no land, in order to survive, they have to leave their hometowns, and after arriving in Chang'an, the government will help us. In the years of famine, no one was starved to death, and the government of all dynasties could not do it. ”
After this person finished speaking, the villagers behind him echoed one after another, and the little official surnamed Qi had red eyes, pursed his lips and bowed to the villagers.
Li Su was also very moved, and patted Qi Xiaoguan's shoulder. smiled: "Okay, I'll compensate you, I was talking nonsense just now, you can also understand it, these dealers will be my Li family's people in the future, looking at them like this, I don't feel very happy, and I have to send an evil fire to you in my heart." ”
When Qi Xiaoyan heard this, his grievances immediately disappeared, and he hurriedly saluted: "Hou Ye has promoted the lower official." You are the Hou Ye, but the apology is too expensive, and the lower officials will not dare to be it. ”
"Wrong is wrong, what unyielding ......" Li Su raised his eyes to look at the villagers, and said loudly: "See clearly, from today on, I am your master's family, and I have arrived here." When the days of your sins are over, I have set aside a piece of land for you at the east end of the village. First of all, build the house where you live, and each household will first divide three acres of land and plant it, and the main family is a reasonable person, so that you will be exempted from two years of grain rent, and how much grain you will grow in these two years will be stored for your own family. After two years, the rent will be collected according to the rules, and the Lord will support you before there is no grain in the field. ”
After speaking, Li Su slowly looked around at the villagers, with a reserved smile on his face, what a kind and lovely landlord and old wealth. Well, there should be thunderous applause here......
After waiting for a long time, Li Su did not wait for the thunderous applause, but a man from a village stood up.
"We have received the heart of the main family, but our farmers also have backbone, it is not possible to eat for nothing, we are not allowed to raise for nothing, we are not used to the rules, and we are used to our problems, before the grain is planted in the field, the rations of the main family are owed, and we will pay the grain rent next year, we have hands and feet, we will earn a living, and we do not need the master to be free of grain rent."
All the bankers nodded.
Li Su's kindness was topped up, and his expression was a little scornful, and he even had an illusion, thinking that these bankers were the protagonists of the sky, and he was an inconspicuous supporting role, or the kind of negative supporting role of soy sauce, using obscenity and narrow-mindedness to set off the tallness and character of the great working people......
Looking at the appearance of the bankers, it seems that they still have some wariness of him, the new master, are they afraid that he will forcibly lend them usury?
I'm really worried, these backbone guys will get together in the future when three or five people are slack, and accidentally invent a card game of "fighting landlords", will Li Su join in with great interest, or will he fan him with a big mouth all the way along the team?
*****************************************************************************
Settling down is hard work, and to be honest, a bit unflattering.
In this era, the self-esteem of the working people is very strong, for fear of receiving a little favor, the craftsmen invited by Steward Xue from the outside, and summoned people to quarry stones and wood, and built houses for the new villagers.
There is no thunderous applause, no bowing, no panic or flattery, the attitude of the dealers is neither humble nor arrogant, and the mentality and posture are equal and hard. After Li Su's kindness touched the nail a few times, he decided to ignore it and let them play freely, anyway, Li Su would no longer be a supporting role in playing soy sauce.
…………
The matter of the garden party has been put on the agenda, Li Su is now an idle marquis, since returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin does not know what kind of thoughts, has not arranged his specific official position, Li Su is lazy, not arranging an official position is in line with his wishes.
Idle is also idle, the Li family Bao Yuanzi will be handled by him, Qujiang Garden was originally a royal garden, only opened to the powerful in recent years, Bao Yuanzi has to rely on some relationships, take some favors to do it, the Li family is only he can do this.
Taking advantage of the gradual cooler weather, Li Su entered Chang'an City, first inquired about Cheng Zhimo, only to know that Qujiang Garden is now handed over to the palace province to take care of, after opening to the outside world, because of the beautiful scenery of Qujiang Garden, and there happens to be a famous Qujiang Pond in Chang'an, so this garden has become a place where the children of the powerful and their families often go.
Li Su inquired about the price, the Mid-Autumn Festival package for a day of garden about 1,000 yuan, according to Cheng Chumo, this price also took into the face of his Cheng family's little grandfather, as for the cost of this face, Cheng Chumo generously decided to be free.
I feel so distressed, but since I have promised Xu Mingzhu, no matter how expensive it is, I have to grit my teeth and admit it.
When I returned to Taiping Village, I didn't feel distressed, and Wang Zhi came.
Since the Wang family's family was unfortunate and a fierce sister-in-law was born, Wang Zhi has rarely gone home, this guy has no official or position, but he is very prosperous in Chang'an City, sometimes Li Su can't help but wonder if this guy was born to eat this bowl of black rice, very talented. Now his words and deeds are very similar to the big brother of the underworld in later generations, he walks and swayes, his legs keep swinging, his face is always raised high, he is looking at people with his nostrils at any time, and the temperament of the whole person is ...... It's hard to describe, anyway, Li Sumeng asked himself, if he gave birth to such a son, he would probably break his leg, and then build him a wheelchair, push him in the yard and then throw him into the well when he basks in the sun.
"Warn you one last time, shake your legs in front of me again, and I will ask Zheng Xiaolou to break your legs, so that your gangsters will change from 'Xiao Mengwei' to 'Yibo Yuntian Iron Kidnapping King', believe it?" Li Su glanced at him squintly and said coldly.
Wang Zhi hurriedly stopped playing and smirked at Li Suhehe: "I'm too devoted, there's no way, I wander in Chang'an City, and the brothers below who don't walk without swinging disagree with me, saying that they don't have the bearing and might......"
Li Su smiled angrily, the pendulum was actually related to prestige, and the logic of the idlers in Chang'an City really couldn't be guessed by common sense.
"What's the matter with going back to the village?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the satisfaction of the East Palace found someone to hand over a message out, saying that the prince has become more and more irritable because of the recent rise to power of the King of Wei, not only found the old rod to kill several palace people, but also scolded His Majesty when he was drunk, and the more he likes to have fun, he hates reading, and recently frequently summons Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, into the East Palace, and drinks and feasts with him, and often stays all night......"
Wang Zhi smiled, scratched his head and said: "I don't know if these messages are useful to you, what is sent out by your heart, I just have to tell you, not a word is missing, how to decide, it is your business." ”
Li Su pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "I have always heard that the prince has sex all day long, I have always been curious, what is the so-called 'sex and fun'?" Drinking, beauty, listening to songs and dancing...... Aren't you tired of playing with these things every day? ”
This question has depth, at least Wang Zhi can't answer it, scratching his head and saying, "Otherwise, what else can you play?" ”
Li Su sighed, looked up at the sky, and seemed to mutter: "It's no wonder that you can't even play so badly, in fact, you can let the beautiful man teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to play something interesting...... )
