Chapter 1253: Uncle Kong's Words (Page 1/1)

For the ingot of silver handed over by Shi Yuan, the old man did not refuse, he happily took it and stuffed it into his arms - the ingot silver given by Shi Yuan was a lot, enough for him to use for a year.

The old uncle's surname is Kong, he is close to the age of the sixtieth birthday, his body is tough, he has an old wife at home, and he has three sons under his knees. But in the early years of conscription, they were all forcibly pulled to rush the soldiers. After a few years, there is no news, I don't know whether it is dead or alive, the two old people depend on each other, planting three acres of thin fields, although they are not rich, but life is still passable...... These are all things that Shi Yuan heard from this old man.

Those who have already been half-cut into the earth are almost past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and many things have already been seen through. But when mentioning his three sons, Shi Yuan still clearly heard his tone a little choked.

But it's no wonder that this is the case, they all say that they are raising children to prevent old age, but now none of the three sons are around. It would be said that he died in battle, but there is no news now. The thought in my heart can't die, this ethereal concern, and I don't know when it's a head.

"Uncle Kong, how long have you been living here?" Because the wheat was almost ripe, but it could not pass directly through the wheat field, it had to take a detour. And such a detour, looking at the village not far away, is a long way to go.

"My ancestors have been here for generations, but now that it's my generation, I'm afraid I'm going to die."

Shi Yuan originally wanted to divert the conversation so that the old man would no longer worry about this matter, but what he didn't expect was that this opening would make the old man even more sad...... However, this is unavoidable.

Why did Confucius say that? The so-called auspicious people are in nature, and everything always has to think about the good. Seeing that Old Man Kong's face did not improve, he thought about it in his heart, and then continued: "Speaking of which, I don't know what to call Ling Gongzi?" I know some people in the army, and I can help you inquire about it. ”

"Childe?" After hearing Shi Yuan's title, this old man Kong stopped and looked him up and down, "This army is in chaos, what kind of son is there?" The three of them have simple names, and they are called Kong Da, Kong Er, and Kong San according to the ranking. We farmers have never read a book, and we all choose our names with good thoughts. ”

Shi Yuan heard it, so he silently remembered these three names in his heart...... Speaking of which, it's not much to remember. Although it is no less difficult to find these three brothers than to find a needle in a haystack, I can always help this old man pay attention to it.

"Boy, what's your name?" This Uncle Kong seemed to hear Shi Yuan mention it, and then he remembered that he didn't know Shi Yuan's name, so he continued to ask.

"Oh! My name is Shi Yuan, Kong Bo, you just call me Xiao Shi. For this old man, Shi Yuan's attitude has always been humble.

"Shi Yuan? Why is this name so familiar...... I think I've heard of it somewhere......"

This old man's words couldn't help but make Shi Yuan subconsciously pause: his name is very big, but he knows it. But the crops of the riverside have heard of it...... This made him a little unimaginable.

But fortunately, the old man Kong seemed to have only heard of it, and he didn't know much, so he muttered in a low voice, and he didn't mention it again. He patted Shi Yuan's shoulder and said, "Xiao Shi, you are from Jiangnan, how is the situation over there now?" ”

"Uncle Kong, what do you mean......?" Old man Kong asked casually, but for a while, Shi Yuan couldn't react.

"Of course I'm talking about war, or else...... What else could you ask? Old man Kong glanced at Shi Yuan, then shook his head again, and muttered in a low voice: "These readers, they are really stupid to read......

The contradiction between the working class and the scholars has always existed, and the direct cause of this contradiction is that most of the scholars have become corrupt officials after high school. In short, these three words have become synonymous with corrupt officials in the eyes of these croppers.

And most of this phenomenon will appear in the current troubled times. The people are struggling to make a living, the government is corrupt, and corrupt officials are rampant......

Hearing Old Man Kong's complaint, Shi Yuan didn't say much, just pursed his lips and smiled, then bowed down again and said: "When I crossed the river, the Beiqing army had already assembled outside Yangzhou City, I wanted to ...... It should be almost time to start fighting! The Beiqing army is menacing, and I think Nanqing can't support it for a few days. Fortunately, I went out of the city before, and when I saw the Beiqing army attacking, I went around the mountain road and crossed the river to ask for a safe ......."

"Peace? Alas~" Shi Yuan casually made up a lie, but after hearing it, Uncle Kong sighed softly. Faintly, that kind of helplessness and sigh is undoubtedly revealed.

"What's the matter, what does Uncle Kong know? I hope to be able to teach the boy a thing or two. Shi Yuan bowed to him modestly, and from the meaning of these words, it was obvious that there was a lot of work! It would be great if I could find out some news.

"Where is there a safe place in this world? As soon as this battle starts, I am afraid that my three acres of thin land will be confiscated. You came to Beiqing, but you came from the wolf's den to the tiger's mouth...... Asking for peace? It's not a joke! Uncle Kong said it slowly, but he just said a rough idea, these things are far from enough.

"Huh? This Beiqing army is like a bamboo, I think Yangzhou can't last a few days, how can it ...... Comber, would you say that? Isn't this Beiqing safe enough? Shi Yuan pretended to be very surprised and continued to ask.

"Alien boy, let me tell you this! There are Huns in the north of Beiqing, if you want to say that in previous years, the Huns were harassed, but this year is different! I heard that there was a king outside the Saiwai, who gathered the Xiongnu army and wanted to attack the Central Plains. Tell me, the Hun barbarians outside the Saiwai are tall and tall, if they call, is this Beiqing still safe? ”

"Huh? Has the situation outside the Plug become so dire? Aren't those barbarians bad at siege warfare? Will they really call? ”

These words were not Shi Yuan pretending to be like this, although Qin Hongmian had also said some things about Beiqing, including the Huns outside the Saiwai, he also asked Qin Wangnan, although Qin Wangnan didn't say much...... But I didn't think it would be so severe. This made him affirm the conjecture he had said to Qin Hongmian before - Emperor Beiqing was planning to give up Jiangbei!

"I don't know! However, in the past two days, there have been quite a few refugees fleeing from the north. A few days ago, I went into the city to catch the market and listened to the people in the tea shop in the city. Old man Kong shook his head. Then he sighed and sighed: "This is about to change the sky!" ”
