January 1828. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was supposed to be a festive day, but it's the Spring Festival.

However, in these two vast places, there is a breath of grief everywhere, natural disasters suddenly fall, continuous heavy snowfall, covering thousands of miles, and the entire Guangdong and Guangxi regions have been affected by a once-in-a-century heavy snowstorm.

The disaster is terrible.

"Brother" flicked the heavy snow on his body, and Feng Yunshan walked into the house, obviously his face was red from the cold, and the weather was bad, which could be seen.

"Yunshan, come and warm up" Hong Renkong hurriedly pulled Feng Yunshan, and the two gathered around the charcoal fire, "The weather is so bad, I don't know what kind of suffering the people will suffer!" Hong Renkong sighed with some emotion, in this era, the people are suffering, the society is backward in science and technology, once they encounter a natural disaster, they can only wait to die.

If you are stronger, you will naturally carry it, but pity those women and children, I don't know what will happen!

"Alas!" Feng Yunshan didn't know that what Hong Renkong said was the truth, his face was a little angry, "Since there is a natural disaster, the imperial court should naturally provide disaster relief and send people to help the people, I heard that Zhang Yuliang has written many times to beg for support, but the imperial court has not replied to a single word, just blindly dragging, how can the people live!" ”

Hong Renkong thought so, "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are starving bones on the road, those nobles in the court who only know pleasure, will they think of the people?" Unless it's a miracle! ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, what's going on in Jintian Village?" Hong Renkong asked, not wanting to continue on this depressing topic.

"Brother, Jintian Village is better, you also know that the people can have a little food and clothing for a few days in the harvest season, pay taxes and pay grain, and after surviving for so many months of cold and winter, how can there be any surplus food, they can only dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger and barely survive."

"And our Jintian Village, since the seizure of the official errand, although the imperial court did not directly send troops to come, but faintly they also know what we are going to do, so no one comes here to collect taxes, and we have a lot of food left. In addition, my brother's vision is far-sighted, and he stockpiles a large amount of grain before the disaster, and there is nothing big in our Jintian Village. ”

"Guangtun grain, slow down the ......, naturally there is nothing wrong, go, I asked you to invite the gentry in the village and the clan elders to come to discuss, I think it has arrived!"

"Yes, brother." Feng Yunshan's heart was awe-inspiring, and his eyes looked at Hong Renkong with more and more awe, the imperial aura in this young man who was only a teenager was really getting stronger and stronger, even their brothers would be a little silent when Hong Renkong announced a big event.

He naturally knew what Hong Renkong's next sentence was, 'slow to be the king'.

"Everybody's coming!"

As soon as Hong Renkong entered the house, everyone stood up, Yang Xiuqing and others were there, and next to them were the clan elders in the village and some prestigious old people.

Hong Renkong was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, it's all your own family, sit down!" Shaoguang, what are you doing in a daze, don't invite a few old people to sit down! ”

"Oh, oh" Tan Shaoguang hurriedly asked a few old people to sit down, seeing that the old people were still a little restrained, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Old man, if you don't sit down again, it is estimated that my brother will not ask me to eat meat today, don't you know!" I haven't eaten meat in half a month, and I've almost forgotten what meat tastes like. ”

"As long as you are greedy, when you survive this winter, I will give you two old sows and let you eat enough."

"One head, hehe, one head is enough!" Tan Shaoguang was immediately overjoyed, but when he heard Hong Renkong's next sentence, he cried on the spot.

"That's not enough, there's another one for you to be a lady!"

As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into laughter.

The atmosphere was relaxed, everyone seemed to have temporarily forgotten the depression caused by this terrible natural disaster, and several old people saw that the king was so approachable, how could they not be happy, and immediately sat down, and even talked a lot.

Only one old man was still standing, a little cramped, as if he had something to say but it was difficult to speak, it was the village chief of Jintian Village.

"Old village chief, if you have anything to educate the boy, just say it." Hong Renkong smiled and arched his hand.

"Ah, don't torture the old man, the king of heaven" The village elder was shocked, and he was about to kneel, but was stopped by Hong Renkong.

"Old village chief, to tell you the truth, at your age, the kid is a grandchild, how can there be a reason for a grandfather to bow down to his grandson! If you have anything to teach, just open your mouth, and never do such a false thing again, my brothers know that I am the most troubled by these rules. ”

"Yes, village chief, what the boss said is that once I made a fool of the boss and was scolded by him for a long time, saying that I was pedantic!" Tan Shaoguang also smiled and pandered.

Seeing this, how could the old village chief not be excited, his legs were weak, and he almost knelt down again, but when he thought of Hong Renkong's words, he had to stand reluctantly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Heavenly King Renyi, today's old man is considered to have seen it, and our Jintian Village can get the blessing of the Heavenly King, it is really a blessing for us!" ”

After the old village chief finished speaking, the old people of Jintian Village all stood up together, and they bent down to bow twice to Hong Renkong.

"Heavenly King, you must accept these few worships" After the old village chief insisted on worshipping, he blamed himself: "Don't hide it from the Heavenly King, although I am a little deaf and dazzled, old man, but after all, I have lived for a long time, and I still have eyesight." ”

"At the beginning, I was very dissatisfied with your arrival, I felt that it was your arrival that disturbed our peaceful life, even the detention of the official errand, I also knew that you were secretly operating."

The voice of the old village chief came out, and the eyes of Xiao Chaogui and the others froze, and the atmosphere froze a little for a while.

Wei Hongren's empty face did not change, he still tilted his ears slightly, waiting for the old man's next words, seeing this, the old village chief nodded secretly, and continued: "But now I understand, old man, I was wrong, the current court has long stopped treating us as their people." ”

"If we are freezing to death and starving to death, who will have mercy? We are just the lowliest, the most useless slaves. As he spoke, the old man burst into tears, and continued: "But after the arrival of the Heavenly King, although I did not see the golden face of the Heavenly King, the old man of the Heavenly King's actions was always in his eyes. ”

"The army does not disturb the people, but also helps with farming, treats the villagers respectfully, like relatives, when it comes to this natural disaster, the king of heaven does not hesitate, and takes out the food hoarded by the soldiers themselves to help us, such a good leader, we were blind at the beginning!" The old village chief was very excited, with deep self-blame, and the old tears were all over the place, so he was not sad.

Hong Renkong sighed with emotion and strengthened his determination, he didn't give these people anything, just a trace of respect and a little help, but in exchange for everyone's sincere support.

Why don't the rulers understand? He really didn't understand.
