"If that's the case, the gold and silver treasures from the slaughter of the city will cost sixty percent, and the extra ten percent will be regarded as the general's money to buy craftsmen, what do you think?"

Songwen said unwillingly, Garman immediately agreed, he could see the importance of craftsmen, and naturally knew that Songwen also saw it, if Songwen generously said that the craftsmen belonged to him, then he would consider killing Songwen first, so as not to be plotted against himself.

When the sun rose, the old fishmonger who lived by the sea looked at the muddy moat of Wuling City, and his heart couldn't help but rise with a strong hatred for pirates. This disaster-free and harmless person still has to go into the city to eat relief food, and he feels panicked when he thinks about it.

In the case of special circumstances, it is a matter of course for modern people to need state assistance, but in the Tang Dynasty, everyone who did not starve to death was unwilling to eat relief food, which was too embarrassing.

"The old fishmonger is thinking of going out to sea again? Come with me and get food! My mother-in-law and children are all crying out that they are hungry. ”

When a fellow villager saw him staring at the river in a daze, he knew that he was making trouble again, and hurriedly spoke to him loudly.

The old fishmonger glared at him angrily, and then he moved this step and walked towards the place where the amount was increased, where there were many people receiving relief food, the Yicang in Wuling City had been opened, and the people who entered the city because of Jianqing Biye could distribute rations according to the population.

Some people did not come, they fled into the city and pulled a lot of grain into the city, the people of Yangzhou basically have a year's rations, they do not believe that the war will be fought for a year, and most of the people who come to receive the rations are families who have no food in the fields, such as people who live on the seaside and in the mountains.

"Uncle Qiu, when do you think we can go back! On this day, they don't fish and sell money every day, and eat the rice of the court in vain, and the little old man's family feels very guilty! ”

The old fishmonger respectfully took the grain distributed by the little official, and asked with an honorific title, every time he walked back with this bag of grain, he always felt that someone was pointing fingers at him on the way, and it was really uncomfortable.

"Don't ask, old fishmonger, what about me! Won't answer your question. Now the pirates are coming, tens of thousands! How many people are there in our Wuling City?

At this time, you just stay in the city honestly and don't go, wait for our Hou Ye to kill this group of animals, what do you like to go, no one will stop you, as for this food, it was originally intended to be used in this special situation, you just take it, don't feel ashamed, this is not ashamed, the adults said that if everyone starves to death, it is called a shame. Okay, next~"

Although the little official was called uncle, he was actually not very old and only in his twenties, he stood indiscriminately, shaking his left leg, and said casually, how could he have the appearance of an official, he was completely a little rascal.

"Hey, what's this called! If God had eyes, he would send a thunderbolt and kill these dog thieves! ”

The old fishmonger threw the grain over his shoulders and walked away with a curse in his mouth.

The little official smiled, shook his head and continued to distribute food to others, this old man is really weird tempered, others want to live in the city for a long time, this old man is not willing to eat relief food, even staying in the city feels uncomfortable, what is this called!

The old fishmonger was bored and walked towards the tent, his heart was reluctant to go anywhere, although he could shelter from the wind and rain and be warm, but it was not what a home should look like, this kind of old man was the most reasonable, at that time the officers and soldiers wanted them to enter the city, he scolded the officers and soldiers for being incompetent, did not dare to fight pirates, but asked them to flee from their homes, it was really useless.

And those officers and soldiers have straight eyes, their eyes are full of anger, this dead old man said lightly, in case the pirates come, Wu Ling is only more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, it may not be enough for people to stuff their teeth! Fart?

The old fishmonger returned to the tent and threw the grain on the table, and said nothing to anyone with a dark face, and his mother-in-law and daughter did not dare to silently take the grain to cook, while his son was looking for a day job in the city and would only return in the evening.

"After eating, you and the woman went to ask where needlework can be done, don't be idle here, I will also go to work as a short-term worker with the two babies, I can't eat relief food anymore, and the ancestors will die."

"You know, we go out after eating, but is it just the body of the house that can withstand it? The babies are carrying sand and soil for the officials on the city wall, and they are selling hard work, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. His mother-in-law didn't dare to refute his words, she was just worried about his body.

"It's no big deal, I move my back." The old fishmonger said dryly, and his mother-in-law didn't say anything more, and the three of them went out after eating. The old fishmonger walked on his thin legs towards the wall, and in the distance he could hear the energetic shouting of the wall, where his son was called, and whose son had been recruited to work as a day laborer.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Before he could get close to the wall, he was stopped by the soldiers, who questioned him in a very bad tone.

"Back to the official master, the little old man wants to come here to find some work to do, it's really embarrassing to eat relief food every day, my two sons are also here to be sandy, see if you can be accommodating."

The old fishmonger hurriedly said respectfully, don't look at the day he dared to point at the face of the official and scold, it was because the crowd was excited that day, and the official had no way to take them, and now he didn't have the courage to do so.

"Go and go, while going, it's all old bones, don't be tired for a while, and we will be scolded from above. Hurry up, if you don't want to eat relief food, let your son leave some money for you to buy food to eat, so as not to be annoying. The official would not be polite to him, and forked the old fishmonger aside with a stick.

The old fishmonger sat on the side of the road with a sad face, and if his wife and daughter found needlework, he would really have no face to see. Just when he was suffering from gains and losses for the sake of face, there was a sudden sound of a rapid bronze bell on the city wall, and he looked up to see those short-term workers running down the city wall with a panicked face, and he saw his eldest son rolling down with one foot in the air, and was almost trampled to death.

The loud sound of the trumpet resounded throughout the city, it was the sound of the trumpet of war, and the people of the whole city, no matter what they were doing, put down their work and looked up in the direction of the city wall.

"Dad, why are you here, let's go!"

The old fishmonger's son was very surprised to see him, and asked with a blue nose and swollen face. The old fishmonger was embarrassed to tell his son, but he touched his son's wound and asked, "What's the matter, isn't it a pirate?" Look at your fall, it's already a big fate if you haven't been trampled to death. ”

Hearing the old fishmonger's question, his son's face turned pale instantly, as if he thought of something terrifying, and only after a second did he say: "Dad, run away, the pirates are coming, there are pirates everywhere outside the city, you can't count them, Wuling is such a small city that can't be stopped, let's go find my mother and sister and escape from the city!" ”
