"Dogs?" Lin Qianxun and Helian Man glanced at each other, and then called tentatively.

"Sister." Hearing the sound, the dog turned his head to look, only to see the two of them holding things, the horse followed obediently behind him, the dog's eyes lit up, and the throat kept fighting, Lin Qianxun saw his reaction in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

"Take us to your house." Lin Qianxun said with a smile.

The dog got up and jumped forward, occasionally running far away, and then stopped and waited for them, and after a daily repetition, he soon passed through the woods, turned the corner, and saw a village.

Nature and the modern new countryside cannot be compared, but a poem appeared in Lin Qianxun's mind.

Huang Siniang's house is full of flowers, and thousands of flowers are low on the branches.

The butterflies dance from time to time, and the warbler is just crying.

Although it is only one of the long poems, these few sentences just describe the scene in front of you.

The spring flowers are bright yellow, butterflies are flying, circling to collect honey, and the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms are still blooming, when the wind blows, you can hear the strong elegant fragrance, occasionally see a few chickens and ducks foraging freely, the sound of gurgling is endless.

This kind of rural life is even more beautiful when you remove the uneven land and the annoying flies and mosquitoes.

"My sister has arrived." The dog stopped in front of a courtyard and turned his head to Lin Qianxun, because he didn't dare to look at Helianman, Helianman looked elegant, but his eyes were like eagles, and his eyes were very frightening when he stared.

"Okay, you're advanced." Lin Qianxun looked at the dog's home, the courtyard wall made of ordinary yellow mud, the wall slipped down in some places, and half of it collapsed, and the branches of the apricot tree inside were deep inside, and the peach blossoms of the previous year were blown around by the wind.

She has a lot of poems today, and the picture is strong, and she can't help but think of another sentence of poetry.

Pity the tooth marks of the moss

The small buckle firewood has not been opened for a long time.

The garden is full of spring and can't be closed,

A sprig of red apricot out of the wall.

Lin Qianxun retracted his gaze, only to see the dog Dan like a lively little swallow, pushing open the wooden fence, squeaking to reveal the whole picture inside.

The courtyard was cleaned up, and on the right hand side of the door was the kitchen and firewood room, and at the kitchen door hung a sieve, and the wooden windows were pasted with wax paper, and the window paper was a little old, some of which showed small holes, and some of which were barely pasted on it.

On the left is the toilet and the pigsty, which are also clean, and the pen is next to the tall almond tree.

"Let's go." Lin Qianxun stepped into the yard first, feeling that everything was a little similar to when he was a child, but it was more dilapidated than when he was a child, just take the main house facing him, it can't be compared with his life when he was a child, at least the house he lived in when he was a child had tiles last year, and the dog's house didn't, and it would be very dangerous when it was windy and rainy.

Helian Man followed behind him and stepped in, and he also quietly saw all this in his eyes, especially Lin Qianxun's expression in his eyes, she was very calm, and there was a sense of nostalgia.

"Come into the house and sit down, there is nothing at home to entertain the two benefactors, so I can only wronged you." The dog's mother just now, holding a kettle, greeted with a smile and a smile.

"Sister, you're welcome, we're here to disturb a little bit today, these things are the thoughts of the two of us, sister, don't dislike it, accept it." Lin Qianxun hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile.

"What did this girl say, what bothered, you husband and wife saved my dog, we don't know how to repay it, and I'm really embarrassed to let you break the bank." The woman looked embarrassed and thought that she had never been so embarrassed, and she had to let the life-saving benefactor bring food, and it would make people laugh out of their big teeth when she said it.

But now the family is really going to be unable to open the pot, the taxes are heavy, the family has a large population, the grain production area, and the stomach can't even fill all year round, and the pillars of the family have no craftsmanship, it is difficult to feed the children, and their husband and wife can have children, which is even worse.

"It's okay, you're welcome, I'm with me today, I actually want to know something, I don't know if it's inconvenient for my sister to say a few words." Lin Qianxun was wrong, did not refute, did not argue, but followed the topic.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Ask, as long as I know, I'll tell you the truth."

"I just heard that every spring farming, we always encounter a big drought here, what the hell is going on, there are locusts, I don't know if there are other problems." Lin Qianxun spoke, and pulled Helian Man, who was standing on the side, on the stool on the side, and then she also sat next to him, Helian Man was a little stunned by Lin Qianxun's operation, but when he heard him admit that he was the shopkeeper, although the poem was not true, his heart was as sweet as drinking honey, and his eyes kept staring at Lin Qianxun.

Such a reaction fell into the woman's eyes and made her feel envious.

"This, every year, sometimes it is a natural disaster, sometimes it is a man-made disaster, our village is called Xinghua Village, because of the many apricot trees planted, famous, some people who have the ability to make apricot blossom wine, or harvest almonds, live a good life, because of this, the ownership of the apricot blossom river in front of it has become a problem, those who have money say that they are their own, those who have no money say they are their own, this comes and goes, digging ditches and blocking the river, it has caused trouble for the annual spring ploughing." When the woman heard this, she immediately explained.

"Is there no one in charge of the government?" Lin Qianxun said curiously.

"How to manage, the collusion between officials and businessmen, it is not these ordinary people who suffer, our village chief of Xinghua Village has fought many times, but there is no answer every time, and there is no way to solve it, everyone has lived like this all these years." The woman showed a hint of sorrow, and then added tea for the two.

"That's what it looks like, but what about the nearby villages, the drought isn't man-made, right?" Lin Qianxun felt that this matter should be an example, and it could not be taken out as a foundation, and before he could finish speaking, he heard the woman sigh.

"It's also half of the natural disasters, general man-made disasters, natural disasters we can't help, just listen to fate, but no one cares about man-made disasters, then it's really impossible to live, in the first two years, there are people who should block the water and were killed, starved to death, after the government came, I just looked at it, and there was no conclusion." The woman also sat on the side, letting her eldest son call her husband, and she looked at the things in Lin Qianxun's hand, revealing a trace of puzzlement, but she didn't forget to answer for her.

Lin Qianxun and Helian Man glanced at each other, and then Lin Qianxun changed the topic.

"Look at my sister here, you don't grow much food, right?"

"Alas, not much, there are a total of ten acres of land at home, except for wheat and millet, the rest are not planted, and the taxes are different, and these ten acres of land can't support our family of eight a year." The woman's eyes were red, she secretly lowered her head, wiped the corners of her red eyes with her sleeve, and let out a long sigh.

"Do you mean that the taxes here are also levied according to the grain planted?" Lin Qianxun looked surprised.

Even Helenman on the side was stunned, why wasn't the fold handed over like this.

"My sister doesn't know, it's not the imperial court that levies heavy taxes, but the management of this pickaxe city, our Beijing officials, saying that in the past few years, Dayu and Dajin have been fighting, and the soldiers have not eaten and clothed, so different taxes are levied according to different good species, and the people who resist are either locked up or beaten, and then everyone is completely silent." The woman was immediately indignant and emotional, her chest fluctuated, even her sallow face was flushed, and her throat moved slightly, and she seemed to be choked with anger.

"Don't get excited, be careful of the child." Lin Qianxun hurriedly patted her on the back and comforted her softly.

"It's not that I'm angry, but my sister can't live this life anymore, the taxes are high, the grain that can be planted is small, and the locust plague every once in a while, the people's life is too hard." The woman grabbed Lin Qianxun's hand, and Lin Qianxun felt that the woman's hand was a little rough, especially at the tiger's mouth, which should be a thick callus left by the perennial work.

"Sister is not in a hurry, today I came to understand the situation, to see if I can help you improve the grain seeds, solve the drought, and let you fill your stomach, my lord can take care of those bad officials who steal and cheat, and fill their own pockets, he is the Lord Qincha sent by His Majesty to investigate and visit the lives of the people, and my sister will say if she has any requirements, and she will be able to meet her sister." Lin Qianxun smiled and made up an identity for Helian Man to reassure the woman.

As soon as these words came out, the heart of the woman who was just emotional suddenly mentioned the noise, and she was afraid of startling the nobleman, so she lowered her voice, "Really? ”

"Really, if my sister is afraid of my grandfather, just tell me, I'll help remember it, and when I go back, write it down and report it to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will solve it personally?" Lin Qianxun looked at the woman's look in his eyes and replied in a low voice.

The woman trembled her legs, her eyes dodged, and she cautiously approached Lin Qianxun.

"I've said everything I need to say, and if this adult can help us with taxes and water, we'll be satisfied."

"Okay, then I got it." Lin Qianxun patted his hand as a comfort.

Later, Lin Qianxun told them how to deal with dandelions, amaranth teeth, and mushrooms, and then the two took their leave.

Leading the horse, Helenman had a black face and didn't say a word the whole time, probably with turbulent emotions in his heart.

"Your Majesty, how does it feel to come out on a trip?" Lin Qianxun stepped forward and stared at Helianman with dark eyes and asked.

"I used to be kept in the dark, listening to those ministers telling me that the people were happy, fed and clothed, and occasionally hungry and drought, but when I heard it today, those bastards actually deceived me and made fun of me like this." Helian Man stiffened for a moment, and then tilted his head back uncomfortably, avoiding Lin Qianxun's playful eyes.

"This is called a policy, there are countermeasures, and Your Majesty is high and low, from time to time to walk on the ground, how can you know the suffering of the people, I said, the people are not demanding, as long as they can eat enough, dress warmly, have a school, there is no shortage of money when they are sick, and they will be very satisfied when they are old, as for the high-level entertainment projects that His Majesty likes to play polo, juju, hunting, etc., they dare not ask for luxury at this moment." Lin Qianxun smiled calmly, and then kicked the pebbles on the side of the road with his foot, walking as he walked.
