Liu Fan stood in front of the palace gate and saw Li Mingyu running out.

He didn't see Liu Fan, or didn't look around at all.

He seemed to be very angry and seemed to be unconcerned, and at first he walked away with his hands in his hands, and when he was greeted by the guards, he complained excitedly to the people around him, but soon took the whip, shook it in his hand, and resumed the naughtiness of the young man.

A white horse was brought over, and a small soldier squatted down in front of the horse, Li Mingyu stepped on the small soldier on the horse, and galloped under the escort of many personal soldiers, and the militia on the street, regardless of officials, avoided one after another.

The little governor was aggressive, and Liu Fan stood outside the palace gate to watch.

"Mr. Liu has met Li Dudu, right? You should know each other, right? The palace gate official asked, and smiled without waiting for an answer, "I must know, this time Mrs. Chu recovered the capital, just to get the help of the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road." ”

Liu Fan looked at the smile on the face of this little official, and the smile was meaningful.

He knows what he's laughing at.

"Madame, why don't you get help from Jiannan Dao." Liu Fan said, "Li Dudu also got help from his wife. ”

The little official was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

"At that time, when Xiang Dudu was besieged by the rebels, Li Dudu came with soldiers and horses to relieve the difficulty, you all know about this, right?" Liu Fan said.

The little official nodded, everyone knew it, and Li Dudu became famous in one fell swoop.

Liu Fan said: "That is the lady of Chu Guo personally wrote a letter to instruct Li Dudu. ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and walked away.

The little official looked shocked in the back, it turned out to be the guidance of Mrs. Chu Guo? It turned out that in addition to Han Xu, Mrs. Chu also made friends with Li Dudu?

Oh my God, Li Dudu is still a child.

Mrs. Chu is really ..... Terrible.

The little official came back to his senses and looked at Liu Fan's back and hurriedly beckoned: "Mr. Liu, aren't you waiting?" Then the prime minister is not busy, I will tell you. ”

Liu Fan didn't look back, waved his hand, and didn't know whether to say yes or not.

After withdrawing from the emperor before, he went directly to ask to see Cui Zheng, but was stopped, Cui Zheng was busy, he waited for a while and Cui Zheng didn't see him, so he had to quit.

There's no need to wait, because when he asked people to report, he said that he would ask about returning to Beijing, and when he came out again, he said that Xiangye was busy, and he would see him when he was done.

It is obvious that Cui Zheng does not want to see him now, and he does not want to talk about returning to Beijing.

Liu Fan stopped, looked back at the palace of Lu, there were many guards outside the palace gate, and there were many officials in and out, the emperor in order not to disturb the people and get close to the courtiers, the daily official offices were set up in the palace, busy and noisy.

Liu Fan frowned, after coming to Linzhou, it was different from what he imagined, the reaction of the imperial court was not to immediately pull out the camp and return to Beijing, of course, returning to Beijing is not to say that he will leave, there are many things to arrange, but the entire court of Linzhou is going to move.

The court is very concerned about the affairs of the capital, those old men are invited every day, the emperor is finished, the officials are seen, day by day, but they are talking about the past, he, the messenger of the lady of Chu, no one cares, obviously he knows the key person in the capital now.

Moreover, Liu Fan raised his head and looked at the sky, talking about the past of the capital, he is not inferior to these old men, although he is not from the capital, but he went out to study at the age of thirteen and came to the capital, and he grew up until he was thirty-three years old, and he has seen the prosperity of the capital for twenty years, and he knows more about the changes in the past and the present in the market.

But the past, it's not too late to reminisce when you return to the capital, the most important thing is the present and the future.

Now it seems that it is moving, but what is moving is deliberating whether it should go or not......

Cui Zheng controlled the court, and the generals and governors who controlled the soldiers and horses had their own thoughts, Li Mingyu was domineering, and Xiang Yun connived......

The emperor can't make the decision, is he going back to Beijing?

"Look at the road!"

A voice shouted in his ear, Liu Fan's shoulder was hit hard, he came back to his senses, and saw several people carrying sacks rushing into a store.....

He was distracted and found that he had walked to the downtown street, the street market in Linzhou was more prosperous than the capital, and there were people everywhere, Liu Fan apologized, and looked up, this is a grain store.

People on the street are also pointing, "Du's shop has so much food." "Isn't rice going to be cheaper?" "With so much rice and grain, won't the Du family return to the capital?" "Maybe it's because I'm going back to Beijing that I buy grain to sell, and everyone has to sell grain and take it with you to eat on the road." All kinds of speculations and discussions, Liu Fan listened and looked at it, and noticed another detail.

"How do you use people to transport rice and grain?" He couldn't help but ask the people around him, the bags of rice and grain were not pulled in by carts and horses to unload in front of the gate, but by strong men carrying them along the street.....

Doesn't this house have a car or horse? Unlikely, strange.

"Horses and cars are expensive." The people next to him thought that he asked strangely, "There are many people who are not valuable, of course people are used to camel goods." ”

People are not worth anything! Liu Fan was stunned.

"Just came to our Linzhou, right?" Someone next to him looked at him and explained with a smile: "The carriages and horses are very tired of transporting goods from a long distance, and they want to rest and recuperate. ”

"Besides, it's expensive for the animals to eat." Someone else joked, "A mouthful of food is not worth much." ”

"At this time, horses and carts are used to escape, what can people do?"

"How many people can a man hump? How far can you run? ”

There were more jokes around him, Liu Fan didn't ask anymore, walked through the door of the store, and a few men dressed as shopkeepers standing on the other side of the store, while watching the grain transportation, whispered and laughed, and there were people crowding over to laugh and ask how much grain they could buy, and asked a few times, only to have a shopkeeper look at him, "There is not much grain in stock." "There is a limit of five buckets per person." "Ten dollars a bucket."

Liu Fan, who had originally walked over, turned back in shock again, it was too high!

"Food prices are too high." He couldn't help but say, "Does the government care?" ”

The people next to him who were holding their hands and watching the excitement heard the laughter: "What's the matter?" The grain belongs to the Du family, and the government does not sell grain. ”

But the government must control food prices, otherwise wouldn't it be chaos?

The people looked at him like a fool: "Isn't it a troubled time now?" ”

It is because it is a troubled time that the world is more governed, Liu Fan looked at the people and opened his mouth and finally did not say it, this was not said to the people, he retracted his gaze and continued to walk along the market.

But this time Liu Fan didn't think about the emperor Cui Zheng and the generals again, but looked at the people passing by on the street, walked into the store to ask the price, said a few words to the idlers squatting on the street, and saw the beggar lying outside the city gate, he bought a piece of cake and handed it over......

The beggar was an old woman, and she had two children in her arms, and she took the bread and gave it to the two children, who were so hungry that they did not even have the strength to chew, so the old woman chewed them and fed them.....

"Why don't you eat relief porridge?" Liu Fan asked with a sigh.

Although he did not see it from the city gate, as he walked on the road, he saw a pergola with soup kitchen.

The old woman said, "I can't eat it." ”

Liu Fan asked: "Is it because there are too many people to grab it?" ”

The old woman smiled bitterly: "It's the old man who is not qualified to eat." ”

Soup porridge is designed for people who have no food to eat, how can it be called unqualified to eat? Liu Fan was puzzled.

"Those porridges are all made by rich people." The old woman fed the children a few bites, and the children had the strength to gobble it up by themselves, "There is no food for nothing, if you eat other people's food, you have to work for others, young and strong people want it, and I don't want it from old and weak young people." ”

Liu Fan was furious: "Is this called soup kitchen?" It's called slavery! Does the government care? ”

The old woman was taken aback by his anger: "Why does the government care about this?" The cost of the government's soup kitchen was also raised from the rich people, and later the rich people said that they came to give soup porridge and raised the homeless people for the government, which was a happy thing. ”

The government does not have to worry about the homeless being unable to resettle, and the homeless people do not have to worry about displacement when they become slaves of others.

Liu Fan explained as simply as possible: "But domestic servants are not beneficial to the imperial court city, and now in troubled times, the government and the imperial court city need manpower, such as building a defensive ......"

The old woman understood, interrupted him, and said, "You say this, I understand, these are also done by rich families, they take it from the government, arrange people to do it, eat and drink without the government's care, the government also saves worry and trouble." ”

Liu Fan was even more angry, but seeing that the old woman looked puzzled, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

The old woman saw that he was wearing a green shirt and described him as thin: "You also came here to find a way to survive." "You don't have to worry, you can read and write, you don't have to sell yourself as a slave, you can be a bookkeeper or something." ”

Liu Fan took a deep breath and looked at the old woman and the two children in her arms: "How can the old, weak, young and useless survive?" ”

"We went and had a sip of hot soup to drink." The old woman licked her lips, "You can drink it in another day." ”

It's just that there is less soup and rice to drink with the slaves of the rich, and I can barely continue my life.

"Scholar, go quickly. Find a rich family to attach to, and you can follow back to the capital. The old woman said, looking envious, "The road to the capital is not easy to walk, and you can't rely on yourself." ”

It can't be relied on by the government.

can only rely on the powerful wealthy family.

Liu Fan glanced around, thinking that the wealthy families could take the opportunity to store a large number of slaves at this time, he touched his body, and finally did not take out the money, what is the use of one or two money for the old woman and the child?

Liu Fan glanced at the two children who had finished eating the cakes, there was no hope on their faces, only dazed and stunned.

He got up and left the city gate and walked out of the city, all kinds of buildings outside the city were densely built, there were people everywhere and there were markets everywhere, and the bustle was boundless, but at this moment, in Liu Fan's eyes, this prosperity was vain and rootless.....

......

......

A few days later, Cui Zheng remembered Liu Fan.

"Has this scholar not been here for a few days?" He asked, "Are you obsessed with Your Majesty?" ”

The official said: "No, he didn't come after he left that day, he lived outside the palace, and he didn't come back to the palace." ”

Cui Zheng was a little curious: "Then what is he doing?" ”

The official asked people to ask, although Cui Zheng didn't care about this scholar, but after all, he was the messenger of Mrs. Chu State, and he still sent someone to supervise it, so he asked soon.

I didn't do anything, I wandered around the city every day, ate and drank, and watched the people outside the city farming.

"Are you going to make friends with those wealthy businessmen?" Cui Zheng asked the key when he heard it.

After all, he is the envoy of Mrs. Chu, and there must be a lot of rich and powerful people who pay attention to him.

The official shook his head: "There were many people who came to invite him, but he refused, just hanging out, eating and drinking by himself." ”

Inexplicably, maybe it's to pass the time.

"Is there any problem with this Liu Fan?" The official asked, "Did Mrs. Chu have other intentions to let him come?" ”

Cui Zheng shook his head: "There is no problem, looking at Liu Fan, you can know that Mrs. Chu is eagerly looking forward to His Majesty's return to Beijing." ”

The official smiled and said: "Of course, Your Majesty will not return to Beijing, and her great achievement in recovering the capital will be like a night walk in brocade." ”

Cui Zheng snorted: "So some people don't want His Majesty to return to Beijing." ”

The official was a little annoyed: "This is all Li Mingyu's noise." ”
