Chapter 171: Worried about the world
In the summer of the capital, the sun is unusually hot early in the morning, and under the high temperature, half of the pedestrians can not be seen on the straight official road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven the grass and trees on both sides of the road are dying, and it seems that they will dry up and die at any moment.
There has been no rain for a month in a row, and many of the crops in the fields have been turned yellow, and the cracked ground is daunting to look at.
Su Can was shot in the thigh before, so he had an excuse to dominate himself because he was injured, and he didn't ride the horse anymore, and went directly into Ye Shaolong's carriage.
It had been two hours since the departure, and as the sun approached noon, the sun overhead became more and more vicious.
Su Can held a paper fan in his hand and shook it desperately, but he was sweating even more: "Alas, this damn weather, it hasn't rained for a month, and the crops in the field won't be harvested if it goes on like this." This people should be hungry, and if it doesn't rain these days, I'm afraid there will be chaos! ”
Su Can was moved when he saw the crops outside, and he had often seen it in recent years in a year like this. In fact, it is better to say that if it is a large area, it will be difficult to control the number of displaced people.
At this time, Su Can suddenly remembered that in the provincial capital, there were constantly foreigners advocating the people to go thousands of miles to dig for gold. In recent years, I have seen that they have recruited a lot of people, but they have not seen any of them come back.
"Shaolong, do you think there really is so much gold in the country?" Su Can suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Shaolong, who was also hot as a dog.
The latter was obviously in a daze, and he didn't react at all, he had to rush against the sun in such a ghost weather, Ye Shaolong was already drowsy in the carriage at the moment, and there was still time to listen to Su Can's complaints.
Su Can's face was gloomy, he stretched out his foot and kicked over, Ye Shaolong was hit in the thigh, and immediately woke up from his daze, and asked stupidly, "Why are you kicking me?" ”
Seeing Ye Shaolong so heartless, Su Can suddenly became angry for some reason, pointed to the crops that were mostly dried up outside, and said viciously: "Don't you feel distressed when you see these crops?" You can still sleep at such a time, and the old man now seriously doubts that your kid is heartless and cares about the people at all. ”
was scolded in a daze, Ye Shaolong was also angry, but considering that he couldn't beat Su Can, he could only give up, and said angrily: "Tell me that I'm not distressed, who told you that I was sleeping, you slander people like this without asking the reason, is it really good to rely on the old and sell the old in front of the juniors?" ”
Killing Ye Shaolong would not admit that he was indeed sleeping just now, although he really didn't care much about what would happen to the people who farmed the land. But if you don't care in your heart, you can't talk about it, and who wouldn't say something beautiful.
In a daze, Su Can buckled a high hat, and when it came to doing this kind of thing, Ye Shaolong would not admit defeat, and immediately buckled back.
Su Can really didn't expect Ye Shaolong to have such a big reaction, and smiled awkwardly: "Since you are thinking about it, then you can tell me what is the solution?" ”
Ye Shaolong frowned, and smiled secretly in his heart, things like this are not simple, it has always been not the state to open the warehouse and release grain to help them pass away.
"Isn't it easy to solve it? Wouldn't it be enough to let the emperor open the treasury to help you, do you have any other ideas? Ye Shaolong took it for granted.
Su Can was very unconvinced when he heard this, but thinking about it, Ye Shaolong was right, there was no natural disaster, and the imperial court would always release grain to help.
It's a pity that there have always been too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there is not one out of ten of the food that can be distributed to the people. Originally, the pitiful food was not enough for the people to survive, and now it is still being withheld layer by layer, and in the end, there is disaster relief, which is exactly the same as no disaster relief.
Su Can has traveled from south to north over the years, this kind of thing is not uncommon, when he was young, he would take the beggars to help the disciples secretly loot food and wealth to help the people.
But then he also understood that this was a drop in the bucket, and the number of people he could save was extremely limited. Slowly, he got used to it and stopped bothering about this kind of thing.
The carriage suddenly fell silent, and Su Can no longer worried about the people in the world. The old man's official road was full of ups and downs, and the family was also killed in the battle of officialdom.
Now that the great revenge has been avenged, he has also entered the year of confusion, and now he has stepped down from the position of the leader of the beggar gang and is ready to retire for the rest of his life. The world is no longer concerned, and it should be the young man who should worry about it, he is already old!
The convoy continued to move forward, and the loess road in the heat was trampled by the horses' hooves, raising dust in the sky. Those who rode outside wore their noses and mouths tightly wrapped in silk scarves.
But his eyes were still difficult to open due to the dust, Huang Chengke urged the horse to catch up with the carriage in front, stretched his neck to open the curtain of the carriage, and glanced inside.
"Brother Su, there is a woodland in front of you, and it's almost noon, so it's better to rest first, and then we will hurry when the temperature drops." Huang Chengke licked his face, rushing in such a ghost weather, he was already drenched in sweat at this moment.
Su Can raised his eyes and looked over, seeing that Huang Cheng would really be embarrassed, and he couldn't embarrass people on a hot day, and besides, he was not in a hurry to go to the provincial capital this time, so there was no need to rush against time.
Nodding, Su Can said with a smile: "Then let everyone rest in front, cook and eat by the way, and then hurry in the afternoon." ”
"Okay!" Huang Chengke's face was full of joy, his head immediately retracted, and he rode his horse to the front to inform everyone.
Su Can smiled, he didn't know whether it was good or bad for Huang Chengke's heartless appearance. But everyone has their own aspirations, and he can't force others to think the same as himself.
"This time, what other plans do you have to go back to the provincial capital?" Su Can suddenly asked about the purpose of Ye Shaolong's trip.
Ye Shaolong was stunned, and said hesitantly: "First, of course, it is to take down the Li family and the prefect Lei Xiaotian, as for what to do later, I don't know yet." The little emperor was very mysterious, and said that when he arrived in the provincial capital, he asked me to find someone, and then he would tell me what to do. ”
What the little emperor wants to do by himself, Ye Shaolong doesn't care at all, and he doesn't care much about it. The most important purpose of this trip is to step on people, and the rest doesn't matter.
"If there is any private transaction between you and the emperor, the old man doesn't care and doesn't ask you. After your matter is done, you will go to Huang Qiying's pharmacy to find me, and it should be officially announced that you are the leader of the beggar gang, and the old man is also well, but he wishes to live my free life with peace of mind. Su Can had a smile on his face, and he was a lot more relaxed.
Ye Shaolong nodded, didn't say anything, he didn't object to being the helper. Anyway, multiple identities are multiple guarantees, and as for the affairs of the beggar gang, I believe that someone else will manage it.
