These days, Chang'an City has become lively.

Countless people were waiting at the corner of the street early, and in front, among those grain stores, a group of people were distributing food to the people of Chang'an City.

Luoyang City has also become lively. Qinghe, Rongyang, Longxi, Zhaojun, Boling, Fanyang, Taiyuan and other places have become lively.

As soon as the people got up, they heard the beating of gongs and drums and appeared outside their villages, beside their houses.

At the beginning, everyone was startled, thinking that there were thieves in the village, but when they saw a famous official, they were bold enough to come out of the house.

In the middle of the village, where children usually play, a lot of people gathered at this time, looking at these officials one by one, with a hint of curiosity on their faces.

A respectable old man walked out on crutches, arched his hand at these servants, and said, "May I ask a few nobles, what are you doing in this village today?" The village has already paid its grain and sent its servants, so I wonder what we still need to do. ”

"Don't worry, boss, this time I came here for a big event, a good thing." The official said with a smile.

Before they came, they were warned not to be presumptuous!

So, they try to smile as much as possible and try to make themselves look amiable.

However, seeing each other's smiles, the old man and the others couldn't help showing a trace of helplessness on their faces, and sighed one by one.

Last time, when these officials said this, the only grandson of the old man was pulled away, and his life and death are still uncertain.

Could it be that you're here to catch a strong man again?

"Official, you have also seen that now there are only some old and weak women and children in the village, and there are really no strong men." The old man walked forward tremblingly and said, "Give ...... Give us a way to live. ”

"Yes, give us a way to live, there is really no strength in the village!"

"We've had such a hard time, why don't you give us a way to live?"

"Our village is really unskilled!"

“……”

One by one, they wept in low voices.

"What are you crying about? What are you crying about? This time there are really good things! The official frowned slightly, and said: "The Wang family came today, saying that this year's grain harvest will be bumper, and the surplus grain will be given to the fathers and villagers, one family and one stone." ”

"Yes...... But we can't afford it. The old man's brows furrowed even tighter, the bucket he borrowed last year has not been repaid yet, a stone, even if he wants his own life, he can't pay it back.

"Don't worry, you don't have to pay it back, if you finish eating this stone, you can go to get it again, now everyone is going to get it, if you go late, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it." The official smiled and said, "That's a stone of grain!" ”

"The people of the Wang family have all said that every family must take this stone of grain, and if you don't take it, you will look down on them!"

"If you want to have a good year this year, hurry up and get it!"

"If you have rice for nothing, don't you take it? Are you stupid? Are you stupid? ”

The official announced that he was finished, and then left slowly, looking like he was going to another village.

The crowd gathered around and looked at the old man.

"Third uncle, do you think this is true? Can you really get a stone of grain for free at the Wang family? The middle-aged man showed a trace of doubt in his eyes, and he didn't believe that there would be such a good thing in the world.

"I think there's a conspiracy in this matter!" The old man's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "The Wang family has done so many evil things, do you really think that if we give us some small profits, we will forget?" ”

"So what's going on? To go or not to go? ”

"yes, do you want to go?"

"Why don't you just go and see, maybe there is really a grain collar, my family hasn't eaten white noodles for months."

“……”

Everyone said.

The old man's brows furrowed even tighter, and then as if he had made a big decision, he said: "Let's go, let's go and see if it's true, if there is a real leader, then bring it back, if not, it will be regarded as being deceived by a dog!" ”

"That's right! The Wang family has squeezed us for so long, and this time we are going to receive what belongs to us! ”

"Yes, let's go, let's go!"

“……”

A group of people walked in the direction of the Wang family, and met a large group of people along the way, all with doubts and excitement on their faces.

When I met the first one to go home carrying food, I was relieved.

At the same time, in other villages and towns, these five surnames and seven wangs and people from other families have opened warehouses to release grain and distribute their grain to the people.

Outside Luoyang City, several figures gathered together and were talking.

One of them had a hint of excitement on his face and said, "Did you hear that?" This family has released grain! The family is putting grain in front! ”

"Hmph, the sage does not drink the water of the stolen spring, and the incorruptible do not drink the food that comes from it!" A man who looked like a literati snorted coldly and said, "How can we be with the family? ”

"You've been reading a book for a few days and you're stupid at reading this brain? Don't have food? The person next to him couldn't help but glance at this guy,

"Yes, yes, he's just stupid to read, go, I'll get food with you!"

"Go together, go together!"

“……”

A few people got up, too lazy to pay attention to this nerd, and excitedly walked towards the entrance of the street, where the people of the Li family in Longxi were using excuses to put food.

In the area of Rongyang, in a restaurant.

Several people were drinking small wine, and all of them were full of alcohol.

Suddenly, one of them spoke: "This family must have really distributed food, so let's go and get some together, so that we can survive the coming winter." ”

"Isn't that okay? I just scolded them at their door yesterday! The other man hesitated.

"Will other people's families remember you? Besides, if you can't eat enough, where will you have the strength to scold this group of insensitive families? The person next to him said.

"That's right, that's right, scold when you're full, if they dare to release food, I dare to ask for it!"

"Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and scold what you should scold!"

"Go together, go together!"

“……”

These people happily left the wine shop and walked into the distance, only to see that the distance was already full of people, one by one with cloth bags, baskets and the like, all waiting with a happy face.

A group of wealthy slaves of the family discharged dozens of grain trucks at the intersection, and they were distributing them to people.

This kind of thing happened in various towns and villages in the Tang Dynasty, as if overnight, the family headed by the five surnames and seven wangs had become a benevolent family.

The whole Datang is as lively as the New Year.

After returning to his own country, an envoy wrote a memoir in his later years: "The Tang people are all kind, and rich families like to give money and grain to those who have no money, which is really a holy land in the world!" ”
