Chapter 575: Light a Lamp (Second Update)

The reason for this, this little boy knows, their family's field has not been harvested for two consecutive years for unknown reasons, but Daqin's taxes still have to be paid.

I thought that their family's situation would improve after having the excellent seeds provided by Daqin officials for free this year, but who knew that everyone else had increased their harvests, but they still had no harvest.

At first, some acquaintances in the village could still give them some food, but this was not a long-term solution, even if he had a bumper harvest compared to the people in the village before, it was just to ensure that no one starved to death in his own family, and it was impossible to help the four of them directly.

The couple has no long things, and no skills, in the hometown of Yan Kingdom, which is about to enter the cold winter, there is no way to exchange for food, every day before, they almost leave in the hopeful expressions of their children, and then bring them endless disappointment, of course, a very hungry stomach.

The boy knew that his father and mother would not be able to come back in an hour or two, and at a young age, he also knew that sleeping was a work that could save physical strength, so he closed his eyes after coaxing his sister in his arms to fall into a deep sleep.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a knock outside the door, not loud, but very rhythmic.

"Could it be that my father and mother got food today and came back early?"

When the little boy thought of this floor, he did not rush to wake up his sister, but jumped off the bed made of a few wooden planks at random alone, and walked quickly towards the door, but he forgot that his father and mother had always entered the house directly, and there was not even a deadbolt on the door panel of their house, so how could they use it to knock on the door?

The boy pushed the door and saw several people standing outside the door, not his father and mother, and one of the people standing in front of him was a woman, and in this era, women can stand on the throne, it is really rare.

But this is not the boy's concern, at this time his stomach is gurgling, seeing that these are strangers, not his father, he directly thought that they went to the wrong door, and his face was full of disappointment.

"Is your father Zhang Wu and your mother's name Cui?"

Just as the little boy's face was full of disappointment and he was about to turn around, the woman at the head asked such a sentence, and when the little boy heard it, his eyes suddenly lit up, because what this sister said was not wrong at all, this is the name of his parents, which shows that people did come to find his parents, not the wrong door.

"Exactly, I don't know ...... you"

Although the little boy was a little inexplicably happy in his heart, he didn't know what to say, he didn't think that his parents could know such a person, and thought about it again, but it was not his parents who had done something, and suddenly became nervous again.

"Your family, have you not harvested any grain in the past two years?"

This sentence made the boy completely relieved, these people actually knew the situation in their own family, and knew that their home had been out of harvest for two years, which should definitely not be a bad thing, right?

Isn't it Sun Yue who came? According to Yinggao's arrangement, after the grain in the state treasury was transported to the counties, not only the officials in charge of agriculture in each county had to actively find out the people in their counties who had lost their crops or had their crops reduced.

Sun Yue and the other five people also have to go deep into the realm where people are most likely to starve to death in Daqin, the strength of the five of them is indeed not large, but they have some power, that is, once a large area of disaster victims is found in a place and is not discovered by the local officials, the local officials will be unlucky, according to Yinggao, directly remove them from their official positions, and then let the capable people live there.

Because Sun Yue was the eldest sister among the five, she took the initiative to invite Ying to the hometown of Yan Kingdom, which was about to enter the harsh winter, because according to previous experience, the village here had the largest number of people starving to death or freezing to death every year.

After inquiring all the way, Sun Yue took his guards to this notoriously poor village in the vicinity, and then found such a family in the village.

After seeing the tears on the little boy's face, tears flowed involuntarily from her eyes, because what happened to this little boy was so similar to her former self, and it was under such circumstances that Sun Qian had no choice but to join the team of the anti-Qin army. If Sun Qian hadn't taken that step before, the probability of her being alive now would have been very low. And the current scene is like a recreation of the situation I encountered back then.

"Exactly, exactly!"

The little boy's thoughts are not so complicated, although he doesn't know why the woman in front of him asks this, but it is true that their family can no longer open the pot.

"Make a note of this family!" Sun Yue had already discovered all the way that the location of this village was really low-lying because of the terrain, and in summer and autumn, precipitation would flow into this area intensively, and the lowest point happened to be some farmland.

According to Sun Yue's guess, the farmland at the lowest point is exactly owned by this five, and when there is a lot of rain, this farmland will basically become a large area of thin mud, and it is no wonder that the harvest is not extinct.

Of course, these were all things that Sun Yue only knew after she became the agricultural supervisor, and she didn't know why some fields grew very well after sowing seeds, while others didn't.

But now, these are no longer difficult for her, every time she thinks of this process, the most admired is Yinggao, every time she doesn't know anything, Yinggao clicks on her, and then she has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and then she discovers more things.

After getting Sun Yue's order, an official behind Sun Yue seriously asked the little boy about the basic information of their family, and then recorded it on a bamboo slip he carried, but the little boy kept looking behind Sun Yue and the others when he was questioned, and then showed a very disappointed expression.

Sun Yue knew at a glance that the little boy was looking for whether they had brought food, in his thoughts, since these people already knew the situation of their own family, they must have come to help their family, but unfortunately, this time Sun Yue was just here to find out, all the way from the county town to here, not with any food at all, but looking at the little boy's eager eyes, Sun Yue made a decision.

"Go, hurry to the homes of the people in this village, and buy a mountain or a bird at a high price, fast!"

After finishing speaking, he threw his money bag directly to a guard behind him, who was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and quickly disappeared into the dilapidated courtyard.

As soon as the little boy heard the words "Shanbi" and "Birds", his saliva suddenly couldn't help but flow out, and a pair of eyes stared at Sun Yue intently, but he was embarrassed to ask if the Shanyu and the birds were going to give him food.

"Don't be afraid, when Shanyu buys it back, it will be cooked in your house, and your brothers and sisters will eat it with us, how about it?"

After the boy heard this, it felt like he was dreaming, he even forgot to ask Sun Yue what he was doing when he came to his house, except for nodding silently, the rest was to fantasize about what the mountain was like, this boy had not eaten the mountain before, but it was still when he was very young, and he had long forgotten what the mountain was like.

"You guys, hurry up and find some materials to repair their house, how can this leaky house support such a young child in the cold winter?"

Sun Yue led the little boy into the house, and said to several guards under her command.

These guards, that has a background, are all Yinggao in order to take care of Sun Yue and specially transferred from the guards of Xianyang Palace, although a few of them are not outstanding in the guards, but to protect a Sun Yue, it must be more than enough, and Yinggao has a saying, when Sun Yue is around, then he has to listen to Sun Yue's dispatch.

But now Sun Yue actually asked them to repair the house, which made them very incomprehensible, one of the captains looked like a guard and said in a low voice: "If we have to help like this everywhere, I'm afraid we won't be able to see many victims in January, why don't we hand over these trivial matters to the county officials, how about it?" ”

"When those pot-bellied officials in the county come, once these two children starve to death, will you and I be able to get by? Since you can become the guard of Great Qin, then you must not be those noble sons of Great Qin who can't bear the slightest suffering, don't you have the same time as them when you were a child? Save one, I will save him, if you have any doubts, wait until you return to Xianyang City, just inform your lord! ”

After listening to Sun Yue's reprimand, the face of the leader of the guards suddenly turned red, Sun Yue has been in Xianyang City for so long, and he still knows them very well, just like Sun Yue said, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Yinggao finally stayed by his side are some guards from poor families, although many people started to serve Daqin when they were young, and they have almost forgotten their lives when they were children, but Sun Yue's words obviously reminded them of a lot of things.

"Si Nong's words are reasonable, act quickly, and complete this matter within two hours!"

After that, the tall guards dispersed in a hurry to find tools and materials to repair the house, while Sun Yue accompanied the little boy to sit on the only two chairs in their house, waiting for the arrival of the food.

After a while, I saw that one by one the figures came back one after another, and suddenly they were as light as swallows and rushed to the roof of Zhang Wu's house, and began to repair the rotten wood and thatch.

The sound of ding dong woke up the little girl who was sleeping on the bed at this time, and she looked at her brother and Sun Yue with a blank expression.

"Brother, when will my father and mother come back, I'm a little hungry......"

When the boy heard this, he sighed first, because this sentence was almost what his sister had to say every time she woke up from her sleep, but today was different, he was just about to explain to his sister, only to hear a squeak, the door opened, and the janissary who had been sent out by Sun Yue to buy food came back.

I saw him carrying two pheasants that were still fluttering there in one hand, and half a bag of grain in the other hand, while putting things on the ground, and said to Sun Yue: "According to this, there is a market organized by people in a nearby village not far away, but there is no mountain town, but these can not only give them a good taste, but they can also last for a long time in the future!" ”

Seeing everything this janissary had done, Sun Yue nodded slightly at her, but then said something very domineering: "After we leave, we will inform the local government that if the grain that this family and other families in this village should get are not delivered within two days, if it is a little less, the relevant officials in the county, the pavilion chief, and Li Zheng will all be dismissed!" ”

"Obey the orders of the agricultural superintendent!"

"Brother. Are those two pheasants really for us to eat? Didn't you wait until tomorrow to pay your taxes? ”

The little girl didn't understand what was going on, there were suddenly so many things in her own home, although she was very excited, but she didn't dare to show it very much, after all, at a young age, she had seen her father and mother dare not eat the food on the ground, they were obviously still hungry, and after the food was left at home for two nights, it was carried out by their father to pay taxes.

After Sun Yue heard the little girl's question, her nose was sour again, but fortunately, she finally stopped her emotions and said to the little girl in front of her: "This time not only do you not have to pay taxes, but a lot of grain will be delivered to your home within two days, this time it is enough for your family to eat for two or three years, and next year, I guarantee that your farmland will not be harvested again!" ”

Although she knew that this little girl might not fully understand what she was talking about in front of her, Sun Yue still said so, because this little girl was like the self who was just a few years ago, and what Yinggao did was to light a lamp for herself.

According to the lamp lit by Yinggao, she has come to this day, so today she also wants to light such a lamp for this little girl, Sun Yue hopes that more than ten years later, there will be two young people in the court of Daqin, they are on this road because of themselves.
