Chapter 45 Bullying Men and Women
"Coupled with the continuous war in the north, these poor people fled all the way here, and they didn't have much food with them, let alone much money, but after arriving here, they had nothing left, and they ran out of food, so they could only beg along the streets, barely surviving!"
"Although this Tokyo city is the most prosperous and peaceful city in the Great Song Dynasty, this is the life of the rich, and for those civilians who have nothing, it will only be worse and more expensive."
Liu Xian said with a smile, it looked like a normal chat, he didn't care about those, the lives of civilians fleeing everywhere should have been encountered too much, and he was used to it!
Qin Feng felt a little sad, seeing so many people displaced, begging on this street, his heart was so uncomfortable, they were all the people of my Song Dynasty, how could they be like this?
Sure enough, this Tokyo city only looks prosperous on the surface! In fact, the Great Song Dynasty has been corrupted to the extreme, no matter how much money there is, the food should be taken out, and it is okay to give them relief, at least build a wooden house for them to sleep.
But they didn't do anything, they just left themselves to their own devices, like weeds.
said: "The imperial court really didn't use food to help them, or arrange some shelters for them, so that they could live warmer lives and not have to suffer in the cold winter."
Liu Xian was a little surprised by these words, how could he say such a thing, he should also have some understanding of officialdom.
"Now there are many disasters, there are really too many displaced people, this is only a small part, out of this Tokyo city, there are more displaced people outside, and it is more turbulent and chaotic, and it is necessary to give millions of taels of gold and silver to the Jin Kingdom every year, which really makes the Great Song Dynasty even more unsupported, and there is really no money."
"Those big officials are only greedy for pleasure, singing and dancing constantly, how can they use their own money to give to these poor people, so Brother Qin, you still don't have to be merciful, give them food again, we really won't be able to get there."
It was very respectful, obviously begging him not to do this, of course the forbidden soldiers had no way to take him, after all, he was the ambassador of the peace talks this time.
Qin Feng really felt sad, sorry for those refugees living on the streets, this Great Song Dynasty was really coming to an end.
Those high-ranking officials of the imperial court actually only think about themselves! The people are in dire straits, but they only care about pleasure, and there are constantly beautiful women around them, and they are really traitors.
After thinking about it carefully, refugees don't seem to be his main intention, but mainly to tell himself, don't give these people any more food, otherwise the food will not be enough, and you won't be able to get to Taiyuan!
Liu Xian still looked respectful, but Qin Feng was much more respectful than himself, so he still had to speak respectfully.
Qin Feng said: "I understand what Brother Liu Xian meant, it seems that there are really too many homeless people, and this little ration is useless, so keep it for ourselves, use it, I won't give them any more food, and I won't delay the speed of travel."
That Liu Xian also made a compilation with both hands, looking more respectful, praising him for the sake of the people, and after saying a few good words, he rode forward on horseback, he really persuaded him.
The gray and yellow curtain of the open carriage was also put up for it, and it felt quite good to sit in this comfortable carriage, but there was something bad in my heart.
I secretly made a decision, I, Qin Feng, will never be so ridiculous in the future, if I can come back alive, I will definitely do things for the people! At least let those homeless people have a bowl of porridge to drink.
More than four hours later, the escort army had arrived in Zhengzhou from Tokyo and was now in a small city.
The speed of the horse army in this forbidden army is very fast, it can be dozens of miles in an hour, so fast, these horses are also bought from the north at a high price, even better than the horses in the barracks.
The forbidden army in Tokyo City was originally the elite of the Great Song Dynasty and was used to defend the safety of the capital, so the combat effectiveness was stronger, and of course the horse also ran faster and better.
After an hour of prosperity and prosperity in Tokyo, I also encountered the remote desolation on the small road, and now I am in the more lively city.
This is the territory of Zhengzhou, just a small city, some roads away from the main city of Zhengzhou.
But not far after the gate, I heard a series of screams, as if they were also crying out.
I saw two tall men, dragging a young girl, who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, so big, and quite delicate, but his face was still a little immature, and the clothes on his body were also very thin, which should be from ordinary people.
There were also two tall men, dragging an old man in his fifties, who looked very old with wrinkles on his face and hands, and a lot of his hair was white.
The old man was still rushing forward, trying to pull his daughter back, it was his eldest daughter, and there was a younger daughter at home, but he could help with a lot of housework, even farming.
Said: "Landlord Ding, please let my girl go, the grain I owe you will be repaid next year, and you won't arrest my daughter to be a concubine!" You've got a couple of concubines. ”
"My daughter is only fifteen years old, and she is still a child, please let her go! I'll kowtow to you and apologize. ”
The two men were pulling him by the way, and they pulled him over again, and he fell to the dirty ground, and they beat him violently.
Some punched him, and his old face immediately became bruised and swollen, and red envelopes puffed up, and one kicked on his bent body, kicking back and forth, like kicking a ball, and he screamed miserably, but he didn't stop.
The old man tossed and turned in pain on the ground, still begging the landlord Ding, wanting him to return his daughter to him.
The landlord Ding was standing on the side, less than one meter six tall, he was quite fat, and his face was fat, looking at the old man with a strange smile.
Looking at this fifteen-year-old girl with a lewd smile, she looks quite delicate, much more beautiful than her two concubines, if you don't grab it as a concubine, isn't that blinding me?
said, "Old man, don't struggle anymore!" You can't beat my two bodyguards, they will only beat you even more half-dead, your daughter will be mine in the future, my seventh concubine, I will definitely treat her well, I don't have to live with you, I can't eat enough, and I don't have to pay back the food you owe me! A write-off. ”
The old man was pressed to the ground, and the two men also stopped beating, probably tired, and blood also flowed from his face, which was really miserable to look at.
There was an old scream, and there were a lot of people around, all watching the excitement, no one went to help him, a poor ghost, and even the land was rented from the landlord.
said: "Landlord Ding, you already have several concubines, just return your daughter to me!" She's just a girl, and the five hundred pounds of food I owe you will definitely be returned to you next year, I promise. ”
You know, too! The landlord was obese, like a pig, always bullying the peasants, and often preying on their daughters, and if they couldn't pay the field tax, they would snatch their daughters and use them as concubines for their own amusement.
In the first days, he didn't have to work, just let him play with it in bed, but as soon as his interest passed, he would use those concubines like maids, live the same rough work, and would not give him a penny.
The fifteen-year-old girl, with a bit of beauty on her face, was also thin and tall, looked a little pitiful, and was also begging, don't rob herself as a concubine, she will farm and pay back.
I wanted to escape from the hands of the two tall bodyguards, but one of them grabbed one of her arms and brought her over, as if she was catching a chicken, it was really too little strength, and she was really a little beauty!
Landlord Ding was originally a fat pig, and he was a little unaccustomed to looking at it, and it was even more too much when he laughed, and the fat on his body was moving.
I looked at this girl happily, she was really handsome, she was more beautiful than her own concubines, and when I went back, I would turn them into servants and do rough work for me, and I would have a good time for a while.
The fat on his face trembled, and he said, "Little beauty, you are also so beautiful, what are you doing farming, don't talk to you like a poor ghost dad in the future!" Follow me to ensure that you eat and drink without worry, and live the life of a rich man. ”
