Over the years, the Great Song Dynasty has had a smooth wind and rain, and the war cannot afford to be unaffordable, and there is no need to fight and shed blood, and the people can also leave some savings. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In most places, people can even eat a meal of meat every once in a while, and those who have spare energy can grit their teeth and let their children and grandchildren go to private schools to study with their husbands for a few days.

The prosperous Great Song Dynasty gave most people the space to live and allowed the people to live a good life in peace and stability.

However, under the surface of prosperity, there is still a considerable part of the weak population, and the wind and rain are smooth on a large scale, which cannot stop the drought and waterlogging of one city and one place, one mountain and one river, tens of thousands of people have enough food and clothing, and there are still dozens or hundreds of people with yellow faces and thin muscles.

The gap between the rich and the poor still exists, and human beings will never be able to achieve common prosperity.

In this era, the policy subsidies are very small, at most they are exempted from taxes for one year or two years, and as for subsidies for the poor, the state says, I have no money.

If you meet a responsible Qing official, you may be able to open a warehouse to release grain for these people who can't eat, or call on large families to donate rice and noodles.

However, after decades of peace in the Great Song Dynasty, there was no external pressure for a long time, and at this time, it was nourished by the prosperity and abundant material life inside, and today's officialdom has long become not as clear as when the founding of the country was founded, and seems to be decayed.

There are many clean officials, and even more corrupt officials.

The people who have been affected by disasters have no more means of livelihood, and often only have the most primitive means of self-help...... Go beg.

Dragging their families and wandering in various states and counties, they just want to live, however, when they really can't get anything, and seeing their children and relatives on the verge of death, these people also begin to change.

or steal, or rob, or seek money, or kill people.

Most of them were caught by the officials at the first time, put them in prison, and dealt with seriously, while a small number of people escaped by luck, ruthlessly left the country, and became wanted criminals.

The world is so big, once these people are incognito, it is extremely difficult to clean up the cumbersome and pedantic pursuit methods.

The bell is ringing, the incense is lingering, on the Guanyin Mountain outside Huaning City, the people who come to the Guanyin Temple to offer incense are endless.

At this time, three ordinary men came from the bottom of the mountain, looked outside the Guanyin Temple, and sat under an ancient pine on the mountain, chatting without a word.

They occasionally turned their heads to look at the road at the foot of the mountain, and watched as the road headed southwest, gradually into the densely forested mountains.

This road is the only way for Huaning City to Jiangning City, as long as you go out of the city, you have to take this section of the road.

Among the three, the leader was a man of forty years with a wide body and a fat body, a loyal face, with broad arms and a bear.

The other two were scrawny and dressed in plain clothes, as if they were slaves of someone's family.

Seeing that those pious men and women who were incense did not pay attention to their side, a thin man dressed as a servant showed a smile on his face, and said in a homely tone: "Brother Jin, I really envy you, the pig killing business is booming, and you must have made a lot of money, and my brothers are red when they see it."

The big man with a loyal face and a strong figure laughed, a faint light shot out of his eyes, and said: "You two have just started, there are still many things to learn, if you really want to do it in this industry, then follow me Jinzhong in the future to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing."

"Really!? Then our brothers will thank you, Brother Jin! The two thin servants were overjoyed and hurriedly stood up.

When the other pilgrims heard this, they couldn't help frowning and glancing at them, but they didn't bother with them, obviously treating the three of them as butchers, thinking that they were learning business skills, but they didn't think much about it.

At the foot of the mountain, a carriage came on the mountain road, turned into the direction leading to Jiangning City, and when they saw the style of the carriage, the eyes of the three of Jin Zhong flashed with murder.

"Cough, look, in front of this sacred Guanyin Temple, how can the three of us say such nonsense, let's go, go down the mountain and talk about it!"

Admiralty snorted haha, with two helpers down from Guanyin Mountain, and in a moment, three big horses rushed out of the foot of the mountain, and on horseback, it was the figure of the three Admiralty.

The mountain road is quite smooth, with thick shade on both sides, and a breeze blows from time to time, blowing the fragrance of pine leaves.

The carriage belonging to the Li Mansion went in the direction of Jiangning City, and in the carriage, Zhao Jue looked puzzled and stared at the sachet in his hand.

"I wonder what this girl put in there?" , Zhao Yu pinched it with his hand, only to feel that it was soft inside, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed.

Zhao Yu thought about it and said secretly: "My own daughter-in-law, I naturally want to know more, and it doesn't hurt to take a look."

At that moment, he opened the sachet, but inside it revealed a neatly folded brocade.

Zhao Jue stretched out his hand to open the brocade, and then saw Xiaolian's unique delicate small characters.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law are above, daughter-in-law Feng Xiaolian, who is seventeen years old today, has made a lifelong marriage with Zhao Jue, and should have gone to worship together, but Xiaolian is a slave and needs to serve Miss, I hope that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will understand, Xiaolian and Zhao Jue will reconcile, and they must abide by their duties and live up to him, and in this life, they will regard him as Xiaolian's ......."

Zhao Yuzai took a closer look, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, it turned out that this was this girl's guarantee to her in-laws.

Hey, you're sensible.

After refolding the brocade and putting the sachet back as it was, Zhao Yi sat outside from the carriage, looking at the lush scenery, relaxed and happy, and chatted with Li Zhong.

“…… Brother Li, I remember you once said that a few years ago, there was chaos everywhere, and when you broke into the rivers and lakes, you met a lot of martial arts people, and the younger brother was very curious, where did those martial arts people run now? ”。

Li Zhong has a very good impression of Zhao Jie, from the first contact, Zhao Zhu has not had the slightest arrogance, he respects him very much, and between chatting, he is like a friend, and he is very different from other stewards with a little status.

Hearing Zhao Jue talk about the affairs of the rivers and lakes again, Li Zhong couldn't help but smile, and didn't hide it, and said: "Most of them can't get along, just like me, they have become other people's guardians, and some have become a little famous, and they have opened their own martial arts halls and martial arts institutes, and become martial artists, and those who have ambitions have joined the army and become military pawns.

"The whole green forest, to put it bluntly, is very different from the green forest when the Great Song Dynasty was founded, there are very few loyal and brave people, but there are many young people in an endless stream, but there are no big people to support the scene, they jump around, it doesn't matter."

"What does Brother Li mean that Wulin is dead?" , Zhao Chu was a little unwilling in his heart, but he still wanted to go to the martial arts to make a good name as a hero.

Li Zhong said: "I can't say that, the martial arts are not dead, just because there are no storms now, everyone is at peace, if they encounter something of sufficient weight, such as the troubled times, the previous martial arts will still return."

"Da! Da! Da! ”。

The carriage left Huaning City fifty or sixty miles, which was full of mountains, rocks and trees, and had reached a sparsely populated area.

At this time, suddenly from the back of the carriage came the sound of hurried and noisy horses' hooves, and on the mountain road, smoke and dust rose from afar, and a rider chased after him.

Li Zhong and Zhao Qi looked back, and then saw three figures on horseback, those riders had black cloth on their faces, and only a pair of eyes remained.

"Not good! Mob! ”。

Li Zhong reacted suddenly, his expression changed greatly, he pressed Zhao Yi back into the car, raised the horsewhip, and hit the horse's back hard, the carriage accelerated, and fled quickly forward.
