Chapter 62: Borrowing Grain

When Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao stood behind the screen, Yuan Wei had already sung to the second que.

Singing this poppy song, Yuan No's childhood memories jumped out of Yuan No's mind.

Although this son was born in the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, he was bullied when he was young, and his mother and son were even driven out of the house by Yuan Shu for a time and lived on the streets of Luoyang, and later his grandfather Yuan Feng came forward, and Yuan Shu took them back to Yuan's house, but after returning to the house, the situation of the mother and son became more and more unbearable, and soon the mother died of depression.

Then, Yuan Fu couldn't help but think of his parents.

In his previous life, Yuan Wei was just a peasant son, and his parents raised him with hard work and sent him to college, but they never thought that he had only been in class for a few days after graduating from college, and he died because of a plane crash.

Yuan Fu fused the sad memories of the two of them, singing and singing, and unconsciously burst into tears.

Jin Shang stood next to him, and was also sung by Yuan No's lyrics, but Jin Shang's tears are not the same as Yuan No, Yuan No's life experience is nostalgic, but Jin Shang is remembering the Zhong Dynasty, although the Zhong Dynasty is usurped by Yuan Shu, but after all, it is also a dynasty and a country, but now, it can only feel nostalgic for the homeland in the lyrics.

Seeing Yuan Wei crying opposite to Jin Shang, Qiao Xuan and Liu Ye couldn't help but be a little moved.

Speaking from the heart, Childe's piano skills can only be regarded as average, even a little rough, but the piece he played just now is really good, and the singing is also very good.

After singing the song, Jin Shang, Qiao Xuan, and Liu Ye were not immersed in the lament of the king of the dead country, but Yuan Wei, the person concerned, first came to his senses and said with a smile: "Gong Qiao, Mr. Ziyang, let you laugh." ”

Qiao Xuan waved his hand and said: "Childe's piano skills and singing are excellent, especially this song, it is even more elegant, with deep artistic conception, just listening to Childe's singing, a sigh of lamentation almost came to his face, which made the old man breathtaking." ”

Liu Ye also bowed his hand and said: "What Gongzu said is extremely true, Gongzi's piano skills can be described as amazing. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to be two false praises." Yuan Wei was ashamed in his heart, and said, "This piece was just obtained by the younger generation by chance, and I really don't dare to take it for myself." ”

Qiao Xuan smiled and said nothing, naturally he would not take Yuan Wei's words seriously.

After all, Yuan Shu's throne was not right, and Yuan Wei had already removed himself from the emperor's title and asked the Son of Heaven to plead guilty, so his song of lamenting the death of the country is indeed not suitable for showing it to others.

Yuan Wei looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, and immediately got up and shook it to the ground towards Qiao Xuanchang, and said sincerely: "Gong Qiao, the junior actually has something to worry about when he comes here today. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Qiao Xuan's mouth, he had actually guessed that Yuan had something else important.

At that moment, Qiao Xuan stepped forward and picked up Yuan No, and said, "Son, as long as it is old and decrepit, you can do it." ”

Yuan Wei said: "The ancestors of Weng usurped the throne of the emperor, so that Huainan suffered a military disaster, the people were displaced, when the day went to Anhui City, the younger generation once saw a lot of Huainan refugees outside the city, saw that the Huainan refugees had no clothes, no food, no house, the younger generation Cheng can be said to be like a knife, so I want to do something for them." ”

Hearing Yuan Wei talk about the homeless people outside Anhui City, Qiao Xuan and Liu Ye's expressions immediately became serious.

In ancient times, although there was no shortage of bullies in the fishing and meat towns, there were also real celebrities who had the world in mind and cared for the common people, and Qiao Xuan and Liu Ye were the latter.

Qiao Xuan looked back at Liu Ye, he knew that Liu Ye was running for the affairs of the homeless, and had even asked Liu Xun twice to help the homeless, but Liu Xun just didn't allow it.

Liu Ye shook his head at Qiao Xuan without a trace.

To be honest, Liu Ye prefers to believe that Yuan is acting, he said that it is only an excuse to help the displaced people outside Anhui City, in order to deceive the food from Qiao Xuan and the Lujiang Shi clan, and then these grains will not be used on the displaced people at all, if this is the case, then his heart can be punished.

Qiao Xuan looked back at Yuan Fu and asked, "The prince has the world in mind and cares about the common people, which is admired by the old man, but I don't know what the old man can do?" ”

"Grain." Yuan Wei did not take a detour this time, but went straight to the point and said, "Gong Qiao, although the younger generation has the intention to help the Huainan refugees who rushed into the Lujiang River, the helpless thing is that the 3,000 stone military rations in the army are still given by Gong Qiao, so they are really powerless to save them, so they can only be cheeky and ask Gong Qiao for help." ”

Qiao Xuan didn't expect Yuan to be so direct, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

However, after all, Qiao Xuan is a Taoist elder with excellent cultivation, and he still asked Yuan with a pleasant face at the moment: "Dare to ask Gongzi, how much food is still missing?" ”

Yuan replied: "Ten thousand stones!" ”

"Huh? 10,000 stones?! Qiao Xuan was stunned when he heard this.

Jin Shang was also dumbfounded, 10,000 stones? Childe really dares to speak!

Liu Ye couldn't help it, and sneered: "May I ask my son, how are you going to help the homeless?" If you open a porridge shed, this 10,000 stone of grain is enough for 100,000 homeless people to eat for half a year, right? ”

Yuan Wei said: "What Mr. Ziyang said is extremely true, if it is just a bowl of gruel per person per day to hang his life, 10,000 stone of grain is indeed enough for 100,000 homeless people to eat for half a year, but ......"

Yuan Wei deliberately stopped and didn't say anything, Liu Ye really couldn't help it, and sneered: "Could it be that Gongzi has another plan?" ”

"It's not a good idea, it's just a helpless move." Yuan Wei waved his hand, and said, "Gong Qiao, the younger generation plans to use this 10,000 stone grain to recruit displaced people, feed them to their stomachs, and then let them reclaim the barren land, the nest has fertile fields for thousands of miles, and a little reclamation will be at your fingertips, with good land, the people will have food, the soldiers will have food, and the people of Lujiang will have land, it can really be described as a win-win game, Mr. Ziyang thinks so?" ”

Yuan No's last sentence was said to Liu Ye.

Hearing Yuan Fu's words, Liu Ye's eyes lit up suddenly.

Liu Ye has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he is a really capable and knowledgeable person, he can hear the joints at once, and know that this Tuntian method is really exquisite, if it is implemented effectively, it can indeed become a win-win game as Yuan Wei said, not only the displaced people who fled into Lujiang can be fed, but the scholars of Lujiang can also benefit from it.

Of course, as the initiator, Yuan No, will get greater benefits.

However, Liu Ye still expressed doubts about Yuan No's intentions, which may still be just an excuse to defraud the military rations.

Qiao Xuan looked at Liu Ye sideways, and saw that Liu Ye shook his head slightly, so he turned back to Yuan Wei and said: "Childe, 10,000 stone of grain is not a small amount, and the old man alone can't make up his mind, he must gather the elders of the clan to discuss it together, not to mention, now that the night is dark, the son might as well spend a night in the cold house, and tomorrow the old man will give the son an answer." ”

This is also the proper meaning of the question, and Yuan got up and retired at the moment.

Qiao Xuan also ordered the steward of the mansion to guide Yuan Fu and Jin Shang to the guest room to rest.

As soon as Yuan Fu and Jin Shang left, Qiao Xuan immediately asked Liu Ye: "It is a great thing to help the displaced people, and the policy of Tuntian said by Gongzi is even more wonderful, if this policy is implemented, the 100,000 displaced people who flow into the Lujiang River will have to live, which is really a good deed for the benefit of the people, my generation should help it, why is Ziyang not allowed?" ”

Liu Ye said quietly: "Gong Qiao, I don't know my heart if I know people. ”

Qiao Xuan said: "Ziyang, are you worried, does Gongzi use the homeless people as an excuse to defraud the military rations?" ”

Liu Ye said: "Gongzi is not his person, he is loyal on the surface, and he keeps thinking about the people, but it is not the case inside, if he really thinks of the people of the world and the people of Huainan, he should return the jade seal of the country to Sun Ce, and then shake hands with Sun Ce and make peace, in this way, the six counties of Jiangdong are all returned to the Sun family, and the disaster of swords and soldiers can be avoided, and he Yuan can also spend the rest of his life in peace." ”

If Yuan is here, after hearing Liu Ye's words, I am afraid that he will immediately break out in a cold sweat.

Qiao Xuan was silent, and only said after a long time: "What does Ziyang mean, don't borrow this grain?" ”

"No, you still have to borrow grain, but you can't borrow 10,000 at a time, borrow 2,000 from him first, in case you guess correctly, the loss of 2,000 stone of grain is not much, but if you guess wrong, the Huainan refugees can survive because of this." Liu Ye sighed and said, "Even if the son is unbearable, the people of Huainan are innocent." ”

"Okay, then borrow two thousand stones first." Qiao Xuan smiled and asked again, "Just because of whether Gongzi came here, I can't ask Ziyang about you, but I don't know what Ziyang is here for?" ”

Liu Ye hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "There is nothing else to do, I just came to ask Qiao Gong for music and rhythm." ”

"Is it really just for the sake of music?" Qiao Xuan looked at Liu Ye, but he didn't pick it out, Qiao Xuan knew that Liu Ye came to ask Da Qiao for marriage, but if he took the initiative to find out, it would seem that he couldn't marry his daughter.

"It's really just for the sake of music." Liu Ye said.

"Well, it's getting late today, Ziyang can go back to the guest room to rest first." Qiao Xuan said.

"In this way, the junior retires." Liu Ye got up and said goodbye.

Seeing Liu Ye go out and leave, Qiao Xuan glanced at the floor screen behind him with a complicated expression.

Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, Qiao Xuan knew that his two treasures had been hiding behind the screen just now and eavesdropping.

Speaking from the heart, Qiao Xuan is a hundred willing to match Da Qiao with Liu Ye, but Liu Ye is a proud person, even if he marries, he is never willing to force people, Liu Ye hopes that Da Qiao can come out to talk to him about music and rhythm, in order to prove her love for him, unfortunately, Liu Ye has visited the house several times, but Da Qiao has never been able to avoid it.
