On the ninth day of the first month of March, Jiang Qiao and another 146 young men from Qinghe Village embarked on the journey to Weicheng together with a few officials who were in charge of conscription and conscription. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After giving the family enough food for a whole year, and leaving nearly ten taels of silver, Jiang Qiao was barely at ease, and before leaving, he did not forget to repair the courtyard wall and fence, and the roof that should be strengthened was also reinforced. Almost all the men in the ten miles and eight towns have been requisitioned, and his mother and the dog are old and young, and they can't find anyone to help them with anything......

"Second brother, are you homesick now?" A white young man walked up to Jiang Qiao and chatted with him with a smile. He was followed by a taller young man, and the two looked a little alike.

This young man is the youngest son of the village chief's family, named Qin Ziyuan, and behind him is his elder brother Qin Ziqing. The two brothers have been studying abroad, and this year they were already preparing to take the county exam, but they encountered conscription, which was also quite unlucky.

Jiang Qiao had a good sense of Qin Song, and by the way, he didn't hate the two brothers, so he responded with a smile: "It's the first time I'm leaving home, I'm not used to it." ”

Qin Ziyuan also sighed, "My father is also ...... Hey, you say, why does the Wei River burst its embankment all the time, and it almost floods every year. ”

Jiang Qiao's understanding of this world is still in the scope of Qingfeng County, and the current emperor doesn't know anything, so can he be expected to care about which river has become flooded again? So after listening to Qin Ziyuan's question, he could only smile.

Qin Ziyuan didn't expect Jiang Qiao to answer him anything, so he said to himself: "In my opinion, it is still Liu Xiangguo's recourse change ten years ago......

"Xiao Yuan!" Qin Ziqing snorted and didn't let him continue.

Qin Ziyuan pouted: "It was meant to be!" A good river flows freely there, and I have to let people divert it, saying that it is to open up the wasteland and divert water, but I haven't seen a few handfuls of grain harvested for so many years! ”

Jiang Qiao waved his hand at Qin Ziqing, "I won't say it again, you're too nervous." He approached Qin Ziyuan and asked him in a low voice, "Our emperor cares about food very much?" ”

In fact, the emperors of the feudal era cared about the people's livelihood, after all, the common people all wanted to eat, and they would not do things for the emperor if they could eat enough.

However, it would be an exaggeration to pay attention to the need to divert the river, and the construction of a large number of buildings was not a good political achievement for the emperor after all.

Almost immediately, Jiang Qiao thought of the question he had thought about before: How can a country with a backward agricultural level, poor land conditions, and extremely low grain production but a very large population rely on to feed those people? It is also a miraculous thing that such a country does not have a person like Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Huang Chao to overthrow it, and the emperor seems to be quite loved by the people.

"In the past few years, it has not been smooth, and I have to raise an army to defend against those Di tribes in the north, and the things in the treasury are about to be squeezed dry by those barbarians in the south! His Majesty has issued several edicts to ask for virtuous ministers, but there is no way......" Qin Ziyuan said and turned red-eyed, "If only I were the minister who saved the country!" ”

Jiang Qiao looked at the little boy and was a little speechless in surprise.

What kind of heart is this? Jiang Qiao couldn't quite understand, but he didn't deny that he was shaken.

He was born in a peaceful era, did not go through the baptism of war, did not understand the feeling of being bullied by a foreign race, and survived in the cracks, and the "patriotism" he saw was a group of young people who did not eat any fast food or buy anything from the country, and the most violent time was to witness them smashing cars and mobile phones......

From a businessman's point of view, he felt that those actions were stupid. But now he looked at Qin Ziqing and looked at this little boy who was only sixteen years old, and suddenly he understood something.

This is probably the heart of a child. Because they are immature, they do not have the ability to change the world; Because of their impulsiveness, the way they express themselves is so clumsy.

But the starting point is good.

But...... Jiang Qiao sighed in his heart, from a historical point of view, even if the Great Qi died, they became the captive slaves of Beidi or Nanban, but as long as those foreign tribes still intermarried with them and had children, they would slowly become the same clan in the future, and then jointly defend against another "foreign race", and the cycle repeatedly.

"The six princesses of the first emperor are all married to Nanban, and the clan girls of this generation should be inevitable......" Qin Ziyuan eased his emotions, but the humiliation in his voice could not be erased: "The Wen family is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in Daqi, but they still have to rely on the royal women to exchange food for them, it's really ...... What a ......."

Thinking about it for a long time and couldn't think of a scolding word, Qin Ziyuan blushed, making Qin Ziqing cry and laugh, and added to him out of brotherly love: "It's really shameless!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Shameless! Stinky and shameless! The more Qin Ziyuan scolded, the more angry he became, but just these two words over and over again, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but shake his head.

Although this little brother Qin loves the country deeply, he has not inherited the skills that the Chinese people have inherited "since ancient times"!

"You just said that you are friendly, is it true that Daqi is relying on peace and relatives to exchange food with Nanban?" Jiang Qiao waited for Qin Ziyuan to scold for a round, and hurriedly interjected while he was gasping for breath.

This question was answered by Qin Ziqing.

With a solemn face, he looked at the sky and said slowly: "The land of Great Qi can't grow food, that's because the Heavenly Mother has given her people iron ore to forge weapons from, and she hopes that they will become strong and able to protect themselves, but she forgets that they will also be hungry and need to eat. ”

"Or a latte in exchange?" Jiang Qiao frowned.

Qin Ziqing nodded, not hiding the worry on his face: "In the long run, one day those barbarians will use the spears made of Great Qi iron to slaughter the Qi people. ”

Starting from stepping on the dew in the early morning to the starry head, Jiang Qiao talked to the two brothers of the Qin family along the way, and slowly became acquainted. When it was finally time to rest, Qin Ziyuan first found a bunch of bonfires and beckoned to Jiang Qiao, "Second brother, come and sit here together!" ”

Jiang Qiao walked over and sat beside Qin Ziyuan with Qin Ziqing, watching those fellow villagers take out something to eat in twos and threes, and they also felt hungry.

"Second brother, I have jerky in my baggage, let's eat together!" Qin Ziyuan doesn't hide his selfishness, no matter who he talks to, as long as he can talk, he can't wait to dig out his heart and lungs to others immediately.

This character is good and bad, and it is easy to be regarded as a wronged person if he can make friends, but Jiang Qiao glanced at Qin Ziqing and sighed at the magic of blood. Qin Ziqing is just the opposite of Qin Ziyuan's character, he is very calm, and he will also figure out people's hearts, as long as the two brothers do not have disagreements and support each other in the future, they will definitely be able to make a career.

Jiang Qiao likes the brothers very much, and he also wants to get to know some friends again.

Even if he is betrayed by Shen Rongrong, he will still like Ah Jiang; Even if he was calculated to death by his brother for many years, he dared to find another partner. At the end of the day, he's not a coward who chokes on food. He thinks he's sorry for everyone who is worthy of the two of them, and he can't know anyone well by being betrayed by them, but it's never his fault, since it's those two who are wrong, why should he let himself live alone and lonely for a lifetime?

Punishing oneself for the mistakes of others and harming one's own interests is an insult to him!

Jiang Qiao thought a lot in his head, but with a warm smile on his face, he opened his burden, "Little Brother Qin, it's not that your brother Jiang looks down on you, it's really that your things are not as delicious as mine!" ”

"Yo, then I'd like to see what kind of earthly delicacy your stuff is!" Seeing what Jiang Qiao said was rampant, Qin Ziyuan immediately collected his own jerky, snorted and waited for Jiang Qiao to take out the things.

This silly boy! Qin Ziqing supported his forehead, but he was also a little looking forward to Jiang Qiao's things. On the day they returned home from home, it was just in time for lunch, and when he passed by the door of Jiang's house, he faintly smelled a spicy fragrance, which was still only seen in his life, and he remembered it for a long time.

Jiang Qiao lived up to Qin Ziqing's expectations. He reached into the baggage, but secretly took out two grilled fish from the space, pretending to be the dry food that his mother had brought him.

"What is this?" Qin Ziqing immediately smelled the familiar spicy smell, and pointed to the small purple-red broken leaves on the fish's body and asked.

Jiang Qiao didn't expect him to see the key so quickly, and tore half of the grilled fish with appreciation and handed it over, "That's a kind of grass I found in the back mountain, its fruit tastes very spicy, the leaves should be lighter, and it can be used to grill fish to remove the fishy smell." ”

"I want it too!" Qin Ziyuan couldn't wait for Jiang Qiao to hand it to him, so he honestly and unceremoniously snatched the remaining half of the tear, and took a bite without saying a word.

"How?" Jiang Qiao asked with interest.

Qin Ziyuan raised his head to reveal a pair of tearful eyes, his mouth whimpered and he didn't know what to say, and after speaking, he ignored him anymore, and buried his head in biting hard.

Qin Ziqing had never seen his younger brother look so ferocious, and he was stunned and a little afraid to eat it.

Qin Ziyuan was actually very wronged. He didn't want to be so ugly - he was a Sven after all - but the fish was so delicious! But it was so delicious that he felt his tongue catch fire every time he chewed it, and he couldn't eat the next bite! But after eating one bite, he couldn't control his desire to eat again, so he could only eat it quickly, so that he could stuff all the half of the fish into his stomach before he was crazy.

"The young man has a future!" Jiang Qiao seemed to be smiling, looking at Qin Ziqing's bloodshot face and teasing him.

Qin Ziqing chose to cover his sausage mouth and silently hurt himself.

If he was given a chance to cross, perhaps he would know that there was another option called-

"I choose a dog leash".

There were two scholars chatting along the way, Jiang Qiao felt a little comfortable, and gradually had a shallow but complete understanding of the era he lived in.

This is a country that has the imperial examination but still retains the nine-rank zhongzheng system, and has the prototype of the county but still retains the three-prince and nine-secretary system......

Mr. Jiang just wanted to choose a dog leash after summing up.

The big green fruits of the year are all dead, and such a country can actually be saved! It can't really be the Heavenly Mother!
