Chapter 360: Let's exchange rice bran for food
Ten days later.
Cheng Chubi led a convoy and slowly walked towards the direction of Chang'an City.
Li Daozong actually raised pigs, and the scale of breeding is not small, and it is estimated that he is the largest farmer in the entire Datang.
These days, Li Daozong and Li Xueyan often ask Cheng Chubi about matters to be paid attention to when raising pigs and chickens, and Cheng Chubi is the most famous farmer in Datang.
It's not that the process is also very proud, do you see? The prince and county lord of the Tang Dynasty were all fooled and lame by me!
Cheng Chubi was proud, but when Li Daozong pulled away hundreds of thousands of catties of old grain and rotten grain, Cheng Chubi couldn't be happy.
Finally, Princess Wen Changcheng's convoy came, loaded the grain into the car, and then pulled it towards Chang'an City.
However, before I had gone far, I saw a group of people coming quickly towards this side, densely packed and ragged.
"It's not good, it's a homeless, it's a homeless, protect the horses!" Cheng Di gave an order, and those Kunlun slaves hurriedly waved the Pu knife in their hands to protect Cheng Chubi.
Although these Kunlun slaves are short in stature, they still have a lot of strength, and they are also good guards.
"Get out of here!" Cheng Chubi kicked Cheng Di away and said, "If it is a homeless person, it should be here to grab food, and you should protect the food!" That's not right, Datang is now leveling all over the world, where are the displaced people? ”
However, at this time, I saw this group of people come to Cheng Chubi, and then knelt on the ground in unison.
"Help, help!"
"Please let the horse let us have a way to live, please let the horse let us go a way to live."
"Ask the horse to give us a way to live, and ask the horse to give us a way to live."
"Ask the horses to let us people live."
“……”
Everyone knelt on the ground and spoke one after another.
"Huh?" Seeing this situation, Cheng Chubi's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of doubt, why don't I give you a way out, this is simply too strange.
Cheng Chubi got off the horse, looked at this group of people, and always felt that this matter was not so simple.
These people seem to be homeless, but they should be people from nearby villages, but they have been here for almost half a month, and they have to wait until they have loaded their cars and pulled away the food.
What's even stranger is that it's still together!
If you want to say that no one instigates them, Cheng Chubi doesn't believe it.
But who could be egging them on?
"Donkey, please give our people in Luoyang a way to live." An old man stood up and said, "Donkey, the life and death of the people in Luoyang City depend on you." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Cheng Chubi was puzzled and said, "Please also ask the old man to understand." ”
The old man was silent, pointing to the carriages behind Cheng Chubi, with a hint of longing in his eyes.
Really!
"Old man, it's not that I don't give you food, it's just that these foods are poisonous." Cheng Chubi sighed and said, "These foods have been stored underground for more than ten years, and if you eat them, you will get cancer." ”
"What is cancer?" The old man asked puzzled.
"It's just sick, and if you eat this thing, you'll get sick." Cheng Chubi said.
"Sick? Will people die? The old man asked again.
"With the current medical conditions, people will die, and many, many people will die, more than ten years, or as few years, they will get sick and die." Cheng Chubi said: "And the taste of this aged grain is not delicious." ”
"Don't fool us, don't you, don't wait for us." The old man smiled and said, "Now that Mo is sick, and now we are all about to starve to death, we can still take care of what will happen in a few years." ”
"We don't know if we can survive this year, you see those babies, all of them are hungry, these days, we have eaten the bark, eaten the roots, even the white soil, we have eaten a lot of people, just to be able to live."
"Now, we are already hungry, and there is really no way to do it, and there is nothing else in the house except rice bran." As the old man spoke, tears flowed involuntarily from his eyes, and said, "Now don't say that you can live for a few more years, even if you can live for a while and a half, it will be worth it." Even tomorrow's affairs can be managed by us, how can we manage the affairs of next year and the year after? ”
"Hey!" Hearing this, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but sigh.
Is Datang short of food? There is no shortage!
But the people of Datang have food!
There are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, and how many people care about the lives of the people in the upper echelons of the entire Tang Dynasty? They are concerned about how much tax the people have paid this year, and how much grain the people have handed in now.
As for the people's heart, the so-called people's heart is the family.
As long as the people live, the humble ones will not care who rules them.
"Okay, let's exchange rice bran, one pound of rice bran for one pound of grain, if there is no rice bran...... If there is no rice bran, then forget it. Cheng Chubi sighed.
These people have already said that they are so miserable, they can't be squeezing them, right?
"But let me state first, this thing is poisonous, really poisonous." Cheng Chubi said.
However, the old man seemed to ignore Cheng Chubi's words, stood up happily, and said to everyone: "Fathers and fellow villagers, Cheng Juma is willing to give us a way to live, one pound of rice bran for one pound of millet and wheat, and one pound of rice bran for one pound of millet and wheat!" ”
"Great, great, Cheng Yuma, you are a good person, you are a good person!"
"We have a way to live now, and we don't worry about going hungry tomorrow."
"Don't say that one pound of rice bran is exchanged for one pound of millet, even if it is ten pounds of rice bran for one pound of grain, we are willing to exchange it!"
"Yes, I still have a jar of rice bran in my house, I'll get it now, I'll go back and get it now."
"Thank you Cheng for your life, thank you Cheng for your life."
"Thank you Cheng for your life."
"Thank you Cheng for your life."
“……”
Everyone knelt down one after another, their faces showed joy, it seems that these people really can't live anymore, so they have come to offend the nobles.
"Hey!" Cheng Chubi couldn't help sighing, and he didn't know if he was right to do this.
Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong.
Soon, the people in the surrounding villages also heard about it, and they all took rice bran in exchange for millet and wheat, and this busy work was a month.
At the same time, the books printed in Princess Xinping's Mansion were also bound into booklets, loaded into cars, and transported to the family in a steady stream.
Families all over the country have opened academies, and various academies have sprung up everywhere.
Before you know it, June is coming to an end.
