Tang Jian was trampled by a child, but he was not annoyed. On the contrary, the old slave on the side hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe him. It's really because the child's feet are full of mud, and this step also makes Tang Jian a foot of mud.

Tang Jian helped the old slave up with a smile, and deliberately stretched out his feet and stomped on the ground, as if he was doing something particularly satisfying.

When he saw another group of men walking next to him, Tang Jian stepped forward to ask again.

It's also that Tang Jian has always been simple, and this time he came to wear sackcloth, so when he saw the man, he was just a farmer who joined in the fun.

So before Tang Jian could speak, the man over there stopped the cart and said to Tang Jian: "The father-in-law must have also come to find the Hou Ye to get a full meal, right?" It's just that I see that my father-in-law is thin and single, and I'm afraid that I can't make this hard work, so why don't you go with me to see Master Hou, so that I can make a living by burning fire? ”

Tang Jian smiled, and also leaned over to salute the man, and then followed the side of the cart, and even helped push it.

There were also talks and laughs along the way, and when the man saw Tang Jian so righteous, he also had something to say, although his speech was a little vulgar, but fortunately, it was true.

The entire Jingyang County has a population of five or six thousand, and eating every day is also a big problem. In order to solve this problem, Qin Ze also deliberately asked the elderly father-in-law and old women to come over to help.

It opened fire directly in the open space near the county granary, and there were hundreds of catastrophes, and steaming millet porridge was boiled inside.

On the other side, there is also a special pot for pancakes, which are the simplest to eat, but fortunately, Qin Ze will not deduct the amount. The porridge in each pot is also boiled extremely thick, completely according to the standards of the army.

There were too many people eating, so Qin Ze had no choice but to let the people come and eat in batches. But it's a little too busy.

It's just that Qin Ze is also willing to be with these people, at least the people here are really temperamental when they laugh and scold.

The river is not only full of silt, but also a large number of wild fish. For these things, Qin Ze also steamed them directly in the pot, and then adjusted the sauce when eating.

This can be regarded as a way to improve the food every once in a while, after all, the spices used in the sauce are not cheap.

Qin Ze was checking the porridge in the pot, and the man over there came up with Tang Jian.

"Master Hou, this father-in-law also wanted to come over to find a full meal, and when he saw that he was diligent in his hands and feet, he brought it over directly."

When the man said it, he also specially praised Tang Jian, which can be regarded as repaying him for pushing the car all the way for him.

Seeing Tang Jian standing in front of him covered in mud, Qin Ze's face couldn't help twitching, but Tang Jian glanced at him and asked him not to reveal his identity.

Qin Ze pursed his lips, and scolded the man on the side with a smile: "The next time you meet such a person of unknown origin, don't say anything to them, just bring them directly." ”

The man didn't understand what it meant, but Qin Ze scolded directly with a blank face: "How? Why don't you go and dig for Master Hou and me, don't you want to have no food? ”

"Hehe, that's what Master Hou said." The man was obviously used to it, smiled at Qin Ze, and bowed and left.

When the man walked away, Qin Ze also looked at Tang Jian angrily, and said a little sadly: "Why didn't Tang Shangshu come in advance, they are all people in the mountains and wilderness, and if they collide with Shangshu boy, they can't afford it." ”

Qin Ze also kicked at a child who was watching the excitement as he spoke, and scolded, "Go and bring a basin of water to Master Hou." ”

The lively child also touched his buttocks, and then ran to bring a basin of water.

Tang Jian watched quietly from the sidelines, only feeling that what he saw today was really beyond his expectations. If it seems on the surface, this Qin Ze can be said to be reckless in his fiefdom, not only forcing children to labor, but also scolding the people under his rule, and doing it at worst.

But whether it is those men or these children, all of them are full of smiles. What made him feel most incredible was that even the fathers-in-law who were cooking porridge on the side were watching Qin Ze cover his mouth and snicker at this time.

This......

When the children brought the water, the old slave beside Tang Jian immediately began to wipe the dust on Tang Jian's body with water. On the contrary, Tang Jian still looked at Qin Ze with a smile on his face, and he was a little hairy.

"Tang Shangshu, what does this mean? Could it be that the kid has a flower on his face? Qin Ze reached out and touched his face, naturally he didn't touch anything.

Seeing him like this, Tang Jian looked around again and said with a smile: "I came here today, but I have already prepared for the worst." I thought that Hou Ye was spreading his anger on the people, so when he first saw the child carrying mud, he was also angry, and he called Hou Ye so cruel in his heart.

Just now, I saw that Hou Ye scolded the people angrily, and at worst he did it directly, and he felt even more indignant in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go back to His Majesty immediately, and he would like to see Hou Ye a copy. But after a closer look, I found that the people greeted Hou Ye with a smile, just like a simple folk style, and he was very puzzled at the moment, so he also wanted to ask Hou Ye for advice. ”

Qin Ze pursed his mouth, but he was also relieved in his heart. He was really afraid that those men didn't know what to say and shouldn't have said. Seeing Tang Jian ask, he also shrugged his shoulders and said: "The people take food as the sky, and the kid just gives everyone a bite to eat." ”

"Everyone?" Tang Jian also realized this, it seemed that the child who had been kicked by Qin Ze before, after bringing the water, ran to the boiler with a smile and found a pancake.

"Yes, but all the people in Jingyang County, young and old, can come here to eat a bite. But these people have always been cheap-tempered, if the kid doesn't beat and scold, they should also eat uneasy, for fear that the Hou Ye will feed them and sell them. ”

Qin Ze is absolutely not wrong in what he said, there is no such thing as equality in Datang. Therefore, Qin Ze allowed everyone to come to eat this time, which was already a great gift to them. If you don't put on a high-minded appearance, it is estimated that these people should be suspicious again.

Tang Jian was also stunned when he heard this. Instead, he reached out and took the long wooden stick in Qin Ze's hand, and then stabbed it in the porridge pot.

He had to poke the long wooden stick into each pot, and as long as he saw that the wooden stick had not fallen, he would smile. As if this was not enough, he ran to the pan of pancakes on the side and reached out to find a freshly baked pancake.

The father-in-law of the pancake also didn't know Tang Jian, and when he saw that he had no rules, he stretched out his hand directly. was also about to knock him with a wooden shovel, but fortunately, Qin Ze on the side reacted quickly and stopped him, otherwise this would be another good meal.

Tang Jian took the pancake, weighed it carefully, and also stared at Qin Ze with a glint in his eyes: "But is it really three meals a day, and there are all this pancakes?" ”

Qin Ze shook his head and pointed at the crowd: "There are too many people, so I only have this one pancake for lunch, and I can only drink porridge for the rest." ”

"That's enough, it's enough." Tang Jian sighed and put down the pancake in his hand, and saw the steamer on the side again, so he was curious and went up again.

Qin Ze also followed aside, and it was also funny to watch Tang Jian's actions. Naturally, the fish steamed in this steamer was fish, but Tang Jian's lift was directly scalded by the heat. But Huan still exclaimed at Qin Ze: "And fish? ”

Qin Ze pulled him to the side of the sauce pot and said, "You are lucky today, you just happened to come across steamed fish once every five days." ”

"Your Majesty didn't just give a thousand, how can you eat for so long?" Tang Jian looked at the sauce, but the doubts in his heart deepened.

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he says this, Qin Ze gets angry. At the beginning, he played that His Majesty wanted to clean up the river silt, but the Ministry of Works gave 1,000 yuan.

This thousand times has only lasted fifteen days at most, and now that Qin Ze has been digging the mud for a month, it can be said that he is already supporting himself.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze also pulled Tang Jian, so he walked to the side, and said as he walked: "The kid is now running out of ammunition and food, and even with the mansion, he is also a family with four walls, if it weren't for Tang Shangshu to come, the kid would be ready to go to cry poor in front of His Majesty." ”

Tang Jian was also amused by Qin Ze, but he also knew that what Qin Ze said was indeed the truth, after all, most of the income of the Marquis of Jingyang was in the taxes in this fiefdom. It is estimated that with Qin Ze's way of eating, it will support it for more than ten days at most.

It's just that it turns out that Qin Ze always has a very high talent in terms of money.

So when Tang Jian saw a courtyard full of ancient artifacts and bells, he was shocked again.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he is in charge of the sacrifice on weekdays, so Tang Jian is also very familiar with these things.

The things that seem to be randomly stacked in this courtyard are all genuine ancient artifacts. Pick up one casually, and at first glance, it turned out to be a three-legged Ding, which is a bronze tripod in the early Han Dynasty.

This......

Tang Jian was still surprised, but he heard a dinging sound outside, and when he turned his head, he saw a man pushing a cart of bronzes over.

It was full of loaded cars, and when I entered this courtyard, I just turned the cart without saying a word, and poured everything on the ground, as if I was pouring some dirt and slag.

Seeing this scene, Tang Jian's eyes widened, and he didn't know where he got the strength to rush forward. Then he carefully picked one up from the ground, and was relieved to see that it had not been broken.

And Qin Ze also reacted instantly, pointing at the man on the side and scolding: "How many times have you said it, how can you still be so reckless, what if you break it?" ”

The man also scratched his head, glanced at Qin Ze, and said with a smile: "Are they all broken bells so precious?" ”

When Tang Jian, who was on the side, heard this, he also felt out of breath. These are rare ancient artifacts, but now they ......

Qin Ze also saw the situation and hurriedly greeted him, and gave the man a look, telling him to walk away quickly. The mouth was also busy: "Tang Shangshu is not in a hurry, there are many here, there are many more." ”

These things are also a pile of broken copper and iron for Qin Ze, after all, Qin Ze has long been used to it, who made everything here a cultural relic? So whether it is from the Tang Dynasty or not doesn't mean much to him.

Tang Jian took the things in his hand and looked around again, then he tried to stabilize his mind and asked, "Whose grave did you dig up?" Is it a capital offense? ”
