Chapter 24
Sun Qing said it sincerely, but after listening to it, Yin Ji's reaction was very cold, and she only said: "People who are extremely hungry can't eat so many things." β
Although the place she has set foot in this life is only a square inch, the sporadic memories of her previous life tell her that Sun Qing is right in the first half of the sentence, if someone eats bran and swallowed vegetables every day, and suddenly has a lot of fish and meat, it is likely to spoil the stomach; But the second half of the sentence is not right, if a person is hungry for several days, and suddenly can eat at one time, in fact, it is not as good as gradually increasing the amount of food in ordinary times, gradually expanding the stomach, and eating more.
Everyone present was surprised by her answerβhow could the princess have never been hungry, so she could say so surely?
But everyone soon thought that the king and the princess had magical powers and looked at everything, and of course everything that happened in the palace of King Zhao could not escape their eyes.
Don't look at Yin Changying, who doesn't care about the life and death of the palace people, in the palace, like him, there are only three queen mothers, and the future queen.
The most common way for other concubines and palace and temple people to punish those who make mistakes is not to eat, first starve for a few days, and then give them food.
In this way, the person will naturally remember the feeling of hunger deeply and never dare to make a mistake again.
Seeing that the princess only retorted and did not immediately drive him away, Sun Qing knew that he still had a chance to explain, so he immediately weighed his words and said carefully: "What the princess said is extremely true, but this person is like a hungry ghost, the food is not visible in front of him, and he will continue to eat until he is uncomfortable, which also shocks us very much." β
Physical satiety without psychological comfort?
Yin Ji pondered for a moment before asking, "This person has no food and clothing?" β
Sun Boji's face suddenly turned pale.
That's not easy to answer!
She and Biao Wanzi are the princess's closest people, and they know that the princess has special magical powers and can contact the king.
If Sun Qing replied that there were people in Zhao who were hungry and unclothed, and the princess turned her head and told the king, what should I do?
But if that man hadn't almost starved to death, how could he be so obsessed with food? The princess is not an easy person to coax, if Sun Qing answers "no", how can the princess believe his words?
Sun Qing sighed: "I wish the country no way. β
Sun Boji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yin Ji was thoughtful: "Zhu Guo is also a strong country among the six eastern countries, so much?" β
If a country does not even feed its people and forces its people to flee to other countries, how can that country be considered a strong country?
Sun Qing saw that Yin Ji was interested in this, and hurriedly informed Zhu Guo of the situation.
Only then did Yin Ji know that there were no people in Zhuguo!
This is simply incredible in Zhaoguo!
Zhaoguo implemented the system of granting land, according to the number of military merits and the level of the title, the people were granted land houses, and then taxes were levied on the people.
In this way, most of the land of Zhao was controlled by the state, and a small part was in the hands of the people. The families that were firmly entrenched in Zhaoguo in the past have long since disappeared, even if it is a family like the Sun family and the Biao family, the rise is only three or four generations, as long as the heir is not good enough, it will immediately decline rapidly.
But Zhu Guo went to the other extreme.
At that time, the Seven Kingdoms changed the law one after another, only Zhao Guo succeeded, and the nobles of Zhu Guo were the most powerful and fiercely opposed. They not only abolished the law, but even intensified it, so that the entire Zhu country only had three major noble surnames except for the royal family.
"In Zhuguo, as long as it is not a child of the third surname, even if it is a clan, it will not be reused." Sun Qing sighed, "The small family can't withstand any turmoil, and it will perish at every turn, and the peasants outside the city are all slaves of the family." And the 'countrymen' in the city are almost all related to the three surnames, and many of them are side branches of the three surnames, otherwise it is difficult to live. β
Therefore, decades ago, after Zhao Guo conquered the old capital of Zhuguo, the local people quickly became the staunchest supporters of Zhao Guo. Because in Zhuguo, they can only be reduced to slaves, working all day long, and are often beaten to death by their masters; In Zhaoguo, as long as the children of their family fight hard, they can have their own land and house.
I wish the people of Zhaoguo not to be stupid, and after hearing that Zhaoguo was being treated, they fled to Zhaoguo one after another. And the three surnames of Zhu Guo sent someone to set up a card to catch it - you can't let people run away!
If there is no one, what will be used to fight at that time?
Sun Qing saw that Yin Hui's expression was calm, and he was a little apprehensive, but he still stubbornly said: "My brother asked Na Zhuren, why he was already full, but he still overate and hurt himself. Zhu replied that he was in Zhu Guo, and he could only feed on tree bark, grass roots, and soil, and suddenly ate wheat porridge, only to feel that this was the most delicious food in the world, and he was afraid that he would never be able to eat it again in the future. β
Yin Ji understood.
Sun Qing's first few words did not shake her determination, but the last sentence made her suddenly realize that the strict hierarchy of this era is reflected in all aspects, including food.
Even the wheat rice she dislikes very much is made of the best wheat, which belongs to the royal family, and ordinary people can't eat it at all.
If she had opened up the supply and fed the slaves, the result would have been that the group had never eaten anything so delicious before, and that something could have happened to them all the time.
Just like the example given by Sun Qing, he was obviously full, but he still felt hungry in his heart.
Hunger is the daily life of ordinary people in this era.
This made Yin Hui's heart sour and unspeakable.
Although she has long realized that the productivity of this era is backward, she is in the deep palace and has no worries about food and clothing, so she has no specific impression, but just stays in the state of "the people can only eat two meals, so pitiful".
Until she came out this time, she saw that "eating enough" was such a luxury, and remembering that she had been picky about her diet, Yin Ji felt quite ashamed in her heart, which made her even more eager to do something for the people of this era.
Yin Cheng thought for a while and changed the policy: "With the bamboo tube as the container, each person is only allowed to hold one tube." Wanzi, Boji, you take people to keep an eye on it, and you must watch the officials send it to everyone, and you must not take it off. β
She thought about it for a while, and added: "A bowl of porridge, seventy percent grain, three percent water." β
Everyone, including Sun Qing, said in their hearts that no one cooked porridge was so extravagant, but the palace people did not dare to refute Yin Xi's opinion, and Sun Qing knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, so he didn't dare to say more.
As soon as he was about to say goodbye, he heard Yin Cheng say, "Sun Qing, you stay, I still have something to ask you." β
When Sun Qing heard this, he was shocked at first, and then he was overjoyed.
Although this surprise and joy were only momentary, and they were quickly suppressed by him, Yin Cheng still caught it and sighed in her heart - this is a smart person and a gambler.
Obviously, after Sun Qing found out that she was unusual, he guessed that her relationship with Yin Changying was definitely not like a rumor.
Because of this, he took the initiative to ask for a meeting this time, all the words were carefully planned, and he risked a very high risk of angering her and having nothing from now on, and he also gambled on a bright future.
The brilliance that burst out in Sun Qing's eyes was not so much because of her, but because of her, at this moment, he touched a ladder of green clouds leading to Yin Changying!
