Chapter 423: Pacify 2

Zhao Chen chatted with some old people in the village about their parents' shortcomings, and talked about some bits and pieces, but the surrounding villagers felt very cordial.

In the past, it was impossible to talk about "emperors", even ordinary officials could not talk to them about these topics.

"Your Majesty, it's already noon, we have people prepare a meal, and you and your lordships and soldiers will eat here." After a while, Qian Shirong said.

"Don't worry, I'll have to take a look around the village." Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, Zhao Chen stood up and walked outside, Yu Yunwen and others followed behind Zhao Chen, and Qian Shirong and other villagers also hurriedly followed.

The snow outside was already half a foot thick, and when I walked on the road, I could only hear the creaking sound.

Zhao Chen looked around and saw that most of the villages were thatched houses, which were very dilapidated. There were only a few landlords in the whole village, and the rest were ordinary tenant farmers.

The number of Han Chinese in this village is ten times that of the Khitans, but most of the Khitans are also tenant farmers and serve the landlords.

In the cold winter, there is really no scenery to enjoy in the village.

After walking for a while, he was about to come to the entrance of the village, and at this time, Zhao Chen found two children playing there.

The two children were both four or five years old, wearing Khitan clothes, and their hair was also dressed as Khitan.

At that moment, Zhao Chen stopped, and the people around him hurriedly stopped.

The two Khitan children were playing happily, but soon they noticed the existence of Zhao Chen and the others! When they saw countless soldiers appearing there, the two Khitan children turned pale and their bodies trembled.

Zhao Chen beckoned to the two Khitan children, who hesitated for a while and walked towards here.

"See all the soldiers!" The two Khitan children knelt down and said in immature voices.

It's just that they are obviously very terrified, and their voices are trembling, as if they are about to cry.

"Hurry up!" Zhao Chen pulled the two of them up, and both of them lowered their heads, not daring to speak again.

"Take two pieces of snack and give them to them." Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, the soldiers in the back took two pieces of dim sum and delivered them to the hands of the two Khitan children.

"Eat, eat, isn't it delicious?" Zhao Chen squatted down and looked at the two children and smiled.

The two children were stunned and began to eat slowly, and after a while, smiles appeared on their faces. This dim sum was brought by Zhao Chen from the Yanjing Palace, and it was carefully made by the imperial chef, and the taste was excellent. It was the first time for these two Khitan children to eat such delicious food.

"Where is your home?" Zhao Chen said.

"Over there!" A child pointed ahead and said.

"Let's go over and have a look." Zhao Chen said.

******

At the moment, these two Khitan children were leading the way in front, and Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen and others followed behind.

Qian Shirong was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't know what the emperor was going to do at the Khitan people's house? In the past month, countless Khitan people have been killed, it stands to reason that the emperor should hate the Khitan people very much, why was he so kind to those two Khitan children just now? It's not just him who can't figure it out, but many villagers behind him can't figure it out.

Not long after, everyone came to the home of the two Khitan children.

Zhao Chen looked forward and saw that the courtyard here was also very dilapidated! Not all of the Khitans were rich, and many were as poor as the Han Chinese!

The courtyard wall of the courtyard is some fences, there is no courtyard gate at all, only a pile of thorns in front of them, and at the moment a soldier removed the thorns, and the two children were already there shouting loudly!

They spoke in Khitan language, and not long after, a Khitan couple came out of it!

This Khitan couple, the man is in his thirties, and the woman looks to be twenty-one or twelve years old, the two of them saw their children with a smile on their faces, but soon, they also saw Zhao Chen and others behind!

At that moment, the faces of the Khitan couple changed greatly, and the two of them hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing constantly.

"Soldiers, spare your lives! Spare your life! The Khitan man cried out loudly. Because the number of Han people in this village far exceeds the Khitans, the Khitans here can speak a little Chinese.

"What are you doing here? Flatten! Zhao Chen couldn't cry or laugh, and said.

The Khitan couple were still on their knees, not daring to get up.

"This is His Majesty the Emperor of our Great Song Dynasty, who has come to us in person! Your Majesty told you to be even, so be even. Qian Shirong stepped forward and said.

"What? His Majesty the Emperor? The Khitan couple was even more shocked and didn't dare to get up at all.

In the past month, the Song army has used iron-blooded methods to make all the Khitans understand that the sky has changed! Now the sixteen states of Yanyun are the world of the Han people! Under the rule of the Han people, the Khitans can no longer be arrogant, on the contrary, if they have the slightest mistake, it is a dead end, just like the Han people under the rule of the Liao State! They don't dare to distinguish whether what Qian Shirong said is true or false, and they don't know if it is the emperor in front of them, but they just don't dare to get up.

Zhao Chen looked at the Khitan couple and found that their faces were vegetable, their bodies were thin, and the clothes on their bodies were unusually thin, and it seemed that their lives were also very difficult.

"In a few days, when the court sends the money and grain to the village, they will also have their share! Also, in the near future, if the imperial court wants to distribute land, they cannot be missing! Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

Qian Shirong had a surprised expression on his face.

The surrounding villagers are also strange, it stands to reason that the Song army was bloodbathing Yanyun some time ago, and many Khitans were killed, why does Zhao Chen want to give them money, grain, and land now?

"Some time ago, the imperial court just came to Yanyun, and there were many Khitans who did not obey the rule of the imperial court and wanted to rebel and rebel, so the imperial court had to kill those Khitans! All those who were killed deserved it! For ordinary people, as long as they abide by the laws and disciplines of the court and respect the court, the court will never be embarrassed! Whether it is Han or Khitan, this is the case! The Han people and Khitan people are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court will let every Great Song people live and work in peace and contentment! Zhao Chen seemed to see the thoughts of Qian Shirong and others, and said.

"Your Majesty is merciful!" Qian Shirong couldn't believe it in his heart, but he still said it.

"Tell the other Khitans in the village what I said, as long as they abide by the law, the court will not embarrass them!" Zhao Chen said.

"The grass people remember, and the grass people will tell them soon." Qian Shirong said hurriedly.

Zhao Chen looked at the two Khitan children, their eyes were pure, but the weather was too cold, and they had too few clothes, and now both of them were so cold that their faces were red. Zhao Chen took off his robe and draped it on a child's body, and then he asked Yu Yunwen to take off his robe and drape it on another child.

Seeing that these two Khitan children were actually wearing the emperor's clothes, the villagers next to them all showed envious looks.

Zhao Chen left this Khitan courtyard at this time.

"Your Majesty, will you have a meal?" Qian Shirong said.

"No need! I came to the people to see how the people are doing, and what can help the people, not to make you break the bank! How can you give us food if you don't have enough to eat yourself? If the meal is ready, keep it for yourselves! I'm going to see somewhere else! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, you are all here, how can you not have a meal? How can I feel embarrassed? Qian Shirong said.

"When the next year comes, if you have a good harvest and you can eat enough, and you still have surplus food at home, I will definitely come!" Zhao Chen laughed.

No matter what Qian Shirong and the others said, Zhao Chen did not agree to stay and eat, he and Yu Yunwen and the others got on their horses and headed into the distance.

Qian Shirong and countless villagers watched Zhao Chen and the others leave there, knowing that the figures of Zhao Chen and the others had disappeared, and they were still standing here, and the Khitan couple only came out of the courtyard at this time and came here.

"Blessed are you two! Your Majesty has given your own clothes to your children, and this is a great blessing! Qian Shirong said.

"Is that really Your Majesty?" The Khitan man said.

"Hmph, of course it's my Majesty Da Song! This time, you can rest assured, Your Majesty said that as long as the Khitan people abide by the law and discipline, it will be the same as our Han people! Your Majesty is merciful and treats you Khitans equally. When the money, grain, and land of the imperial court are distributed, you will also have a share. Qian Shirong said.

"What money, grain, land?" The Khitan man said in surprise.

"Muramasa, is what Your Majesty said true or false, is there really money, grain, and land to be distributed?" The rest of the villagers interrupted the Khitan man's words and said one after another.

"You have no jokes, how can what Your Majesty said be false? Let's wait in the village! Qian Shirong said with a smile.

The surrounding villagers whispered, but they all had surprised smiles on their faces.
