This year, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and grain production was reduced, and the entire Guanzhong was relatively short of grain in this cold winter. Although it will not make the people starve to death a lot, there is the shadow of a big family behind the rise in food prices, and not many people dare to touch these grain merchants

This is not to say that the grain that originally cost 200 wen and 1 stone will now be sold for 220 wen. The extra money from this cart of charcoal is enough to buy two or three buckets of grain, but this kid doesn't sell it.

"My father said it, and Li Yuanwai's family said yesterday that it will definitely be sent to his house today, since it has been said, then it must be done. Although I also want to sell it to the military master, this matter can't be counted like this. The little guy said.

"Then you say, you don't want to sell for more money, are you stupid?" The soldier said.

"Although I sold it to you this time, there are so many buckets of food, but we have lost our own reputation, my father said, you can't just look at the superficial interests when doing things, for that money, I have lost my duty to be a man, and my father will beat me." The little boy said.

"It's a backbone, but what if you are not allowed to enter the city? It's not that you can't deliver charcoal, and you've offended us city gate troops. The soldier laughed, this kid is okay.

"That's no way, we can only go around and see if the other gates can enter." The boy replied.

"Go in, little! Remember that when you come back later, come to Uncle Wei's place, there are things left for your father! The soldier stopped the boy again and said.

"Why did you leave something for my father?" The boy wondered.

"If you want to get it, you can just come, why do you ask so much!" The soldier said and proceeded to check on the next process. The young man also shook his head and continued to walk towards the city gate, it was not early today, so hurry up and send charcoal to others.

At this moment, two tall horses came from the city gate to the outside of the city, not fast, but they walked in the middle of the city gate, and in parallel, the city gate accounted for more than half.

In this way, the young man's charcoal cart could not pass from the left, to the right, or from the middle, and the two horses did not mean to stop, and came directly ahead.

The young man hurriedly pulled the ox cart back, but it was too late, a horse whip flashed from the hand of the brocade-clothed young man on horseback, and then pulled towards the charcoal seller: "Don't have long eyes, didn't you see Ben Shao going out of the city?" ”

"You...... You're so unreasonable! The young man was aggrieved, and a long red mark was drawn out of his face. Then he stubbornly stood in the middle of the city gate and did not leave.

"Rabbit cub, you don't move, do you still want to be pumped?" When the brocade-clothed boy saw this down-dressed boy stop in the middle of the road, he was even more unhappy, and his horsewhip was raised again.

"This young master, you are a nobleman, how can you have the same general knowledge as a charcoal seller? Raise your noble hand, and I'll pull this little cub out!" The soldier from the city gate stood up and pulled the boy back.

"You are a big-headed soldier, how dare you take care of Young Master Ben's affairs? Today, Ben Shao is going to take out the gas of that poor charcoal seller, you dodge aside! The brocade-clad boy said loudly, and even whipped his horsewhip towards the soldier.

"Which son-in-law is this? Why is it so unreasonable? "There were a lot of people coming in and out of the city gates, many people were making accusations, and some people wanted to come forward and stop them.

Chai Lingwu was in a very bad mood, he went to Zuiyue Tower to drink yesterday, and met the guy Changsun Chong, and as a result, there was a conflict in the restaurant, Chai Lingwu beat Changsun Chong, and today Changsun Wuji impeached his father Chai Shao, the prince of the country, in the court.

Chai Shao went home and taught Chai Lingwu a lesson, and then asked him to go to his own Zhuangzi outside the city to reflect behind closed doors, and he was not allowed to return to Chang'an without his ban. This made him angry in his stomach, and he couldn't attack his father, and he couldn't find anyone to take revenge on Changsun Chong.

As a result, when I went out of the city, I encountered such a young man who sold charcoal blocking the way, and I suddenly had a seizure, and I became angry directly, wanting to vent the evil fire in my heart.

"You are so unreasonable, hurry down and apologize to this little brother!" Chai Lingwu's horse whip was whipped on the body of the city gate army, and as a result, a milky voice screamed, and then a Taoist directly grabbed his horse whip.

"Cousin Liz?" Chai Lingwu suddenly sobered up, saw the two little girls in the carriage opposite, and immediately recognized Li Lizhi among them. After all, his mother is Li Lizhen's aunt, Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang, how could she not know Li Lizhen.

"Cousin Lingwu, what are you doing here? Hurry down and apologize, is this what my uncle taught you? Li Lizhi also said out loud.

"Not bad...... The performance of the two little girls is okay! Lu Hanyang stood a hundred feet away, bowing slightly. For the two little girls, he doesn't care if they have any knowledge, they can be praised by the Manchu Dynasty or something, as long as they are kind-hearted and caring.

Although someone sent each other, Lu Hanyang was still not at ease, so he quietly followed, in general, these two girls are Lu Hanyang's deepest bonds in Datang.

Under the interference of Xiao Wu and Li Lizhen, Chai Lingwu finally compromised, apologized to the charcoal seller and the soldiers at the city gate, and then gave way to the ox cart, and finally left Chang'an City.

And Xiao Wu and Li Li entered Chang'an City safely, and Lu Hanyang turned around and stepped on the snow and walked into the distance.

The two little girls went home, and Lu Hanyang was not in a hurry to go back to Bajing Palace. He was going to walk around and take a look, anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, and he didn't plan to use any flying sword or crane.

I just want to rely on my legs to measure the surroundings of Chang'an little by little and see the lives of the people. Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the living standards of the surrounding people should be regarded as the best. So from the surroundings of Chang'an, you can see how the people of Datang live.

Because the best is the only one, so needless to say, the worse ones, Lu Hanyang wants to see what aspects he still has the possibility of continuing to improve the lives of the people.

Of course, no matter what, the life of the people in this era will not be very good, after all, the living materials are very poor, and there is no possibility of being too good. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, and see what else can be improved.

"Uncle, can this year's harvest be guaranteed?" After walking for dozens of miles, I came to a Zhuangzi, saw an old man, and then asked.

"What's so bad! This god doesn't give us these hard ways to live! This year's drought has caused a severe drought in my old man's land on the hillside, and the yield has been severely reduced. The old man saw that Lu Hanyang was wearing a Taoist robe, but his temperament was extraordinary, so he said.

"Then does the imperial court have any action to deal with it?" Lu Hanyang continued to ask.

"Today's saint is still very merciful and has reduced this year's taxes, but the landlord's rent cannot be reduced! After deducting the tenant rent, there is not much left. Fortunately, my dog went to work in the cement workshop, and the family was still able to eat. The old man said.

Cement workshops have been opened around Chang'an City, and they require a lot of labor, so many people around Chang'an City go to work when they are slack. This has solved the life of many people's families.
