Man is the most cruel animal in the world, because he has an independent mind, a mature life system, although they do not have sharp claws, but they have a pair of flexible hands, and a brain that can think about complex problems, they are good at hiding their emotions, feelings, and hatred.

The crowd is gradually moving towards Yangzhou City, their faces are full of joy, they are wearing sackcloth clothes, straw sandals on their feet, and a small bag of grain in their hands, moving in the direction of Yangzhou from all directions.

"My lord, let's go into the city, let's take a look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes, official, let's not make trouble, take a look at the prince and leave."

The city gate of Yangzhou is now very congested, countless crowds of people are blocked in front of the city gate, the city gate only leaves a small gap for a single person to enter and exit, the officers and soldiers guarding the city behind the horse pile are like facing the enemy looking at the crowd in front of them, they have never seen this kind of posture, if they are not polite to speak, they just want to take the road and escape, almost everyone thinks about the same thing: "The Jiangnan Shi clan is finished, they provoked the most powerful people in the world, although the group of people is unarmed." ”

"Folks, there really can't fit so many people in the city, not to mention that you meet His Royal Highness the Prince, haven't I seen it in Yangzhou for so many days? Rest assured, their heads will be hung at the gates of the city to ensure that they will be seen. ”

"I brought half a catty of corn, even if you are good, let me give this corn to His Highness?"

An old woman looked at the soldier in front of her, and took out a small bag of corn in her hand, as if she wanted to show it to the soldier, but unexpectedly, a person in the city said with tears in her eyes, Li Chengyan listened to the words of the old woman below and cried, this was the first time in two lifetimes to cry.

"Folks, go back!"

Li Chengyan wiped away his tears, but his throat was still choked, his voice was a little hoarse, looking at the white young man wearing a bright yellow python robe at the head of the city, several soldiers guarding the door instantly knelt down on one knee and said: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"It's His Royal Highness the Prince, it's His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince."

The whole crowd seemed to be a little shorter, and the place that was chaotic just now was instantly shorter, Li Chengyan stood on the head of the city and looked at those ragged people, eager to slap himself twice.

"Your Highness, you have avenged us, help us except for those landlords who eat human blood, we have nothing to honor, all the food in our house is given to you, all for you!"

Li Chengyan ignored the dissuasion of Wang Zhong and a few people, and went down to the city gate in a hurry, Wang Zhong and a few people followed closely, and Shan Xiongxin on the side of him was frightened.

"Come on, come here to protect the prince, don't let the prince be injured!"

More than a dozen guards surrounded Li Chengyan's side, blocking Li Chengyan from going out.

"Get out! Bastard, you think they're going to hurt me! ”

"Admittedly, it's too chaotic outside, I'm afraid that you will cause a commotion when you go out, and then in addition to the matter, how can you let me explain to Your Majesty."

"Uncle Shan, they won't harm me, I believe them."

After Li Chengyan finished speaking, he raised his feet and went out of the city gate, and thousands of people helped up the old woman who was still kneeling on the ground, and took the half catty of corn from her hand, which was the ration of his family, and she took it all without hesitation.

"Grandma, I accepted your gift, we have a saying in Chang'an, if you receive someone else's gift, you have to return the gift, you give me half a catty of corn, and I will give you ten silver coins."

After speaking, he took out ten coins from his arms and handed them to the old woman, the old woman shook her head in horror, looking at Li Chengyan and not daring to accept it, but Li Chengyan waved his face to the old woman and said: "Let's talk, the things we say will not be recovered, take this money, wait for your land to be redivided, and then it is better to buy seeds and farm tools, right?" ”

"I can't help it, Your Highness, I can't help it."

"Yes, Your Highness, we don't have that rule, so you can get the money back."

"Your Highness" Your Highness ""

Li Chengyan was seriously in tears, but the corners of his mouth were already grinning to the maximum, like a fool, picking up a thin child in his hands, and taking out a handful of candy from his sleeve and stuffing it for the child.

"What a good baby, if this is in Chang'an, such a big baby is the time to be disgusting, if there is no meat, the rice with white flowers is said to be unpalatable, they are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, why are they so picky, you can't? Remember, if anyone bullies you again in the future, go to Chang'an and tell me that I will be the master for you, even my father! ”

"Don't eat without meat? Then there is no landlord in Chang'an? Don't the landlord's family collect grain? ”

"Collect a fart, last year His Majesty issued an order, in the future, the world's agricultural tax will only collect 20% of your harvest, and the landlord will collect 20% at most, if anyone dares to break the rules, fall on the city tower and dry it for a few days, and then take back the land, you are not stupid, don't you know to inquire?"

After Li Chengyan finished speaking, the man actually cried: "Those goddamn bastards, we have given them the harvest over the years, a full seventy percent!" Seventy percent! ”

What is the concept of seventy percent? There are less than 30% of 100 catties of grain left in their own family, and the rest has to be planted and eaten, are the hearts of those bastards made of stone?

"It's good in the future, if anyone dares to collect an extra percent, you will beat him up a bastard, if you can't beat him, come to Chang'an to find me!"

A teenager squeezed out of the crowd, handed a small bag of corn to Li Chengyan with a handful of snot and tears, and then took out three polished copper pieces from his arms.

"My father let the servants of the Yang family set up their legs, my mother was forced to death by those animals, my father said, let me send you all the food in the family, and these three coppers, I don't want money, you sell me the eggs of the head of the Yang family, I want to take it back and feed the dogs!"

Li Chengyan looked at the baby in front of him, looked at the trembling anger in the dry body and was speechless, exchanging all his net worth for a dead man's egg, in order to take it home and feed the dog? What a feud this is.

"Rabbit cub, where did you get so angry, go back and tell your father, I gave him his eggs from Yang Zishan, even if I take it home to make soup, I will also let him, Wang Zhong, go to Yangzhou Mansion to withdraw money, and tell them that no one who gives us a gift will return ten silver coins, and I will cover the cost of their farming next year, and I will be on the list, and let Ma Zhou live in Yangzhou from tomorrow, when to divide the land and when to return to Chang'an."

"Did you hear that? You're making a lot of fucking money! Who can exchange half a catty of corn for ten silver coins for our Highness. ”

Wang Zhong didn't understand, I don't know what kind of wind Li Chengyan is smoking, borrowing money is to be exchanged, how much is this, no one has ten silver coins, 100,000 people are millions of silver coins, your old man is really rich, with resentment in his words, but he was kicked by Qin Qiong on the side.

"Bad things, after so many years by his side, he has learned to pat on the back, right, do whatever you want, if he doesn't have enough money, the old man will make it up for you."
