Chapter 26
After Sun Qing left Anche, his mind was full of "how to grind grain with stones", and halfway through, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Oh no, the princess only said that the slaves should be fed, but did not say what to do with the officials who took care of them!
Although the officials brought their own food, the presence of slaves and the absence of officials would inevitably make the officials feel uncomfortable.
These little people are dissatisfied, and they have to find a place to vent their anger. The princess will naturally be fine, the people around the princess are sheltered by the princess, and naturally nothing will happen, and the unlucky one can only be herself!
He was so excited that he forgot about it!
After Sun Qing thought of this layer, he first comforted himself, feeling that his aunt and grandmother should not forget this layer.
But he thought about it, the princess spoke, so the grandmother and the others all obeyed, and the princess didn't mention the officials, did they really dare to take the initiative?
No.
Sun Qing was very sure in his heart.
Even if there are smart people who think of this layer, but they don't do it, under the protection of the princess, they will be fine; If you do, you will offend the princess and get into trouble.
In that case, why should there be a mistake in vain?
But Sun Qing didn't dare to ask to see the princess again, leaving an impression in the other party's heart that he was ineffective.
After several struggles, Sun Qing came up with a way - I saw that he immediately found his late grandmother Sun Boji and whispered: "Eldest mother, the princess's food...... Is it really enough? ”
Sun Boji felt heavy: "If it's just a good ramp, it's enough, I'm afraid that one meal every three days will become a rule." Before arriving in Minjun, most of the good food was gone. ”
Of course, they can't and can't take out the precious yellow rice, millet, that is, millet and millet. But even wheat is not enough to waste it!
Sun Qing gave her an idea: "The princess only said that these slaves should be fed, and did not stipulate that wheat must be eaten. I see that there are still a lot of beans in the team, why don't you mix them in? Slaves are half wheat and half beans; Officials are full wheat porridge, and that's enough. ”
Sun Boji couldn't help but shudder: "You let me deceive the princess?" ”
"My nephew never meant that."
Sun Qing knew that he must not offend this aunt and grandmother at this time, although he didn't think that Sun Boji could really have any influence on the princess, but the other party was an elder, and the other was the princess's side, and it may not be enough to achieve things, but bad things are more than enough.
Therefore, he said sincerely: "Eldest mother, there are some things that the princess can't think of, how can you, as a person around you, ignore them?" For example, although the princess did not explicitly say that she would distribute food to the officials, she only gave food to the prisoners and not to the officials. Naturally, they should also give a share to the officials. ”
Sun Boji naturally felt that this was inappropriate, but the princess didn't tell her!
Seeing that her aunt's attitude was a little shaken, Sun Qing struck while the iron was hot: "The princess didn't say it, because in the eyes of the princess, the officials have long been counted among them, and there is no need to mention it at all." ”
Sun Boji was still hesitating, when he heard Yin Ji's voice in his ears: "Do what he said, you can add sauce to the official's porridge." ”
In an instant, Sun Boji's face changed greatly, and he immediately saluted in the direction of Anche: "No! ”
Sun Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
He couldn't help but look in that direction, and the car was already blurred to a tiny dot.
At such a distance, the princess could hear their conversation, and she could give her aunt a hint alone?
A basin of ice water directly poured Sun Qing cold.
He has been a well-known prodigy since he was a child, and he also boasts of being brilliant, and he can read seven or eight points at a glance when others think that the classics are profound and obscure. Tai Shi Ling loved his talent, regarded him as his own son, and taught him everything, hoping that he would marry his daughter and inherit his mantle, rather than the family inheritance that had always been his own.
But Sun Qing didn't want to.
Observing the stars, hydrology, studying arithmetic, and music are just his hobbies, and his greatest wish is to be like the ancestor Wu Xinhou, and worship Xiangbang!
Sun Qing was very confident, and thought that the people in the court were a group of fools, although seeing the princess was supernatural, it was beyond his imagination, and he knew that the situation was not as good as judging himself. But he easily persuaded the princess, and made him a little fluttery!
But now, he knows that his cleverness is undisguised in front of the princess!
What a terrible power!
And how fascinating!
If you can get this power......
Yin Ji didn't know that Sun Qing's thoughts had drifted so far, and when she heard Sun Qing's words just now, she realized that she had indeed forgotten these officials.
Probably because she sympathized with the people but didn't have any feelings for the officials, she subconsciously ignored the existence of this group.
But after careful observation, Yin Ji found that these officials were also very pitiful, although they carried dry food on their backs, they had to be frugal, and they couldn't eat a hot meal or a full meal for ten days and a half months. Once it rains and the grain becomes moldy, the situation is even worse, and the difference with a slave is fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Only then did Yin Ji realize that the people she usually came into contact with were the most powerful and wealthy people in the world. And the number of these people is so small that they cannot be used as representatives of the whole group.
Not every official can call slaves and maids, and more officials actually receive a meager salary, and the degree of hardship is no less than that of yeoman farmers.
Although in this era, their life is much better than that of ordinary people, as well as prisoners and slaves, but in Yin Ji's opinion, it is only fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Because of this, Yin Ji nodded in agreement, and added another sentence, and said to the two of them: "One meal in three days, until Minjun, you can relay it to everyone." ”
Hearing this news, the originally lifeless team finally had a glimmer of life.
After all, everyone knows that although the laws of Zhao are strict, the kings and princes of the imperial court are very trustworthy.
said that military merits were exchanged for the title of Tian Zhai, and it was strictly implemented for nearly a hundred years;
said that there is no military merit, and the son is also equivalent to the Shuren, so he directly drove away all the sons who did not dare to go to the battlefield and let them make a living by themselves, and the concept of "raising the clan" did not exist in Zhaoguo;
In the eyes of these people, the princess who holds the king's day represents the king, as long as the princess speaks, it must be counted.
Yin Ji naturally can't destroy the credibility that the kings of Zhao Kingdom have built up with great difficulty, after all, the common people are simple and simple, but as long as you deceive them once, then I'm sorry, there will be absolutely no next time.
Therefore, she pondered for a moment, and said in her heart: "In this case, the speed of going to Minjun will be accelerated, but before that, ......"
She had to deal with a problem.
At the same time, the power of the "earth" passed through the heavy rock walls and reached a fishy cavern, a giant serpent hovering as high as a hill with its scales so black that it glowed.
