Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Luo Clan Stops
Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Luo Clan Stops
A strong smell of blood permeated the room, and Brother Buffalo seemed to notice it, and ran in again, crying profusely. said in his mouth, Brother Fushan, why can't you think about it like this. He seemed to talk to himself, and seemed to tell Xu Qing, saying that Fushan had woken up early, and he had chatted with him, and now that he remembered the content of the chat, wasn't it Fushan's parting words?
Father Luobu also came in, but he only sighed, as if he knew about the situation beforehand. Seeing Xu Qingmu standing in place, he pulled him out.
"Young Master Xu," Luobu's father said softly: "Fushan is short-rooted, don't keep it in your heart." ”
"Ah......" Xu Qing stepped on the snow and said subconsciously: "Daddy Luobu, after the New Year, or when the show girl goes down the mountain, you will also go with me?" ”
"What?" Daddy Luobu was surprised. Don't talk about him, even Xu Qing was surprised when he heard him say such a sentence, he didn't know why he made such a move, but thinking about it, it was okay. So, he looked at Daddy Luobu and nodded, indicating that you heard you right.
Father Luobu sighed and said, "Thank you Xu Gongzi for your kindness, you can go, but you can carry the baby, and an old man like me, how to go?" ”
He said again: "Didn't I hear that there will be no clan council in the future, and send another county government and Tusi to manage it, it will be fairer, we don't have to argue for an acre of land and a ditch, and we don't need a witch mother, the village is old,"
What Daddy Luobu means is that you can take the show girl with peace of mind.
Xu Qing knew it, so he said: "It's better to ask the people in the village, if there is a suitable one and you want to go, pick it out, the show girl is thousands of miles away, and she also needs someone to talk to and a companion." ”
Luobu's father thought for a while and said, "It's okay, there are a few families who have no elders and no descendants, so they can move over." ”
"Well, just ask, ask......"
After resting for the night, the next morning, Luobu Daddy brought another bowl of bacon meat, he said that this mussel shell counted a few catties, and knocked it open to take the meat, but it was less than half a tael. After re-smoking, it looks even more thin. Such a bowl of mussel meat took no less than 200 mussel shells.
However, Luotou Village lives along the river, and Luobu's father is engaged in fishing, so there are more fresh flowers in this river. For fish, Xu Qing doesn't have a cold either, it's not that it's not delicious, but he eats this every day, and he is a little tired of eating. What Xu Qing likes is the green vegetables that can't be eaten in the north in winter and are only available in the south.
Xu Qing cut a few clumps of leeks in the back garden, cut a few holes of cabbage, took a pot and put oil in the pot and fried it himself.
Luobu's father was puzzled at first, but after tasting Xu Qing's dishes, he exclaimed. Before, they ate vegetables, but they ate it in chopped soup, or porridge with rice. Xu Qing stir-fried with lard, which looked particularly fragrant in this cold winter.
Luobu's father got the method and went back to study it by himself, but unfortunately he only copied out a few bowls of burnt and cooked ones. In the end, he gave up, but he still called the villagers to pick vegetables for Xu Qing, and bundles of vegetables were dug out of the snow and given to Xu Qing.
There is a saying here that the vegetables that have been frosted are crisp and called refreshing, and the vegetables that have been snowed are sweet and called snow cabbage. The harvest period of snow cabbage is short, and if you don't get it right, you will freeze the vegetables to death, which is also the most precious.
There is a royal dish, which is a dish that has been used in the first snow, extracts the outer layer, leaves only the innermost three layers, and then boils it with pork knuckle, lamb ribs, fish head and other delicious things. Don't look at the process of using a lot of materials, but when it is served to the royal table, there is only a bowl of clear and clear, without a trace of meat foam, only a few pieces of green vegetable soup floating, green vegetables are like jade, hence the name jade soup. However, the eunuch and the imperial chef told the emperor that this was the "clear soup and little water" eaten by the common people, and the emperor also took this opportunity to "understand the people".
Xu Qing collected a cart of green vegetables, and did not collect it in vain, and gave each villager some money to repair the house. He also told them that they could reduce or reduce taxes after the year to compensate for the overcharge before, and the county warehouse would also release some low-priced grain.
Naturally, the villagers are very grateful.
In the evening, a young general Pegasus came and said that General Zhao Yuliang had led his troops to subdue the other two villages, and controlled the witch mother of Qingluo Village.
The rebellion of the Luo tribe came to an end.
A few months later, Chang'an sent a document to Huguang, and Huguang agreed to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Luo tribe raising private soldiers first. As a result, it was found that Luotian and Luowei Erzhai also had their own private soldiers, but there were not so many. Dare to have private armies, it is really a big bad person, and it must be strictly punished.
As a result, the three major clans were torn apart, and the village elders of the three clans were even assigned to the frontier.
It was also found out that the Qingluo people collected taxes privately, and collected all the taxes that had been exempted for three years into their own pockets. After the incident was reported, several respected elder-like figures in the three major clans instantly turned into street rats, and everyone shouted and beat them.
The government took advantage of the situation to confiscate the grain hoarded in Qingluo Village, turned it into public property, and then sold it at a very low price. At the time of the spring famine, the Luo people got this low-priced grain, and their nerves of hunger relaxed suddenly, and everyone said that the government was good.
Chen Zhixian was dismissed and sent to prison, and his family was also implicated, not only the family's business was robbed, but several other petty officials were also dismissed. For a while, the situation plummeted, and he was targeted by the enemy, and it took him a while to dodge left and right before he was able to survive. When you are in power, don't forget to be cautious in your words and deeds, and on the day you sit high, you need to worry about your buttocks, and don't sit too solidly, so as not to be pulled out of the stool one day, banged, and fell on all fours.
It's the little people, who live a nourishing life. Master Wang secretly took Chen Shi's money, and took advantage of the chaos to take away the money from the county government and Chen Zhixian. I went down the river to Yangzhou, bought a farmhouse, bought cattle and hired people to farm, and took a house of a young girl, who was still old and had children. Another year, there was a shortage of people in the county government, and he was hired as a temporary clerk. After working for a few years, the fields have multiplied several times, and the county magistrate saw that he was diligent and gave him an official title, the river fishing envoy who does not enter the stream. After a lifetime of playing in officialdom, he finally stepped into the door, which is also a good result. But although Master Wang is not evil, he has done a lot of things to help evil, and if he dies well, will God have no eyes, or will he wait for him to repay him in the next life?
Another little person, the head of the team, also worked as a government officer for a lifetime with peace of mind, and finally retired as a head catcher, and his son, the son inherited his father's business and directly became a head catcher.
That's all for later.
Xu Qing stayed in Luotou Village for another day, waiting for Luo Xiuxiu to come down the mountain and take her to Chang'an or Luonan. As for whether it can be collected in the house, it depends on the opinions of the wife's group and her own wishes.
On that day, Luo Xiuxiu said goodbye to the witch mother, and left the witch mother village to spend their rare time together on the mountain, and it became the last day they were together.
Xu Qing went to pick up Luo Xiuxiu, but saw that her eyes had long since lost their previous liveliness, but had an extra layer that Xu Qing couldn't see through and touch, and the depth of the witch mother's eyes.
At a glance, it looks like a thousand miles away.
Xiuxiu slowly walked to Xu Qing's youth, her face was expressionless, as if she didn't recognize Xu Qing, and without waiting for Xu Qing to speak, she knelt down and saluted: "Lord Xu......"
