Text Chapter 33 Grain
"Alas, who said it wasn't, there was an old lady lying in our house who was already cold, skinny and skinny, who was starved to death."
Everyone sighed and discussed. The people of this family are the victims of this war, and the war brings not only the pain from the battlefield, but also the suffering of the common people.
Qian Sanjin also had a sad face, after all, he is not at home now, and even if he is in charge of his own family now, for the sake of his own life, he will never distribute the grain and grass transported to these people at this point in time. Just like Bai Xiaofu's analysis, the grain and grass transported by the three princes have not yet reached the border pass, and at this time, distributing grain and grass to people in a town is equivalent to directly explaining to the government that the grain and grass were stolen by them, and not all of them can be trusted. But looking at the two children hiding in the corner of his house trembling and trembling, Qian Sanjin's heart felt very uncomfortable, if it was his children......
Qian Sanjin looked at the two small figures curled up on the wall, and sighed, there are not so many assumptions in the world, and he is not a living Bodhisattva, and the disaster caused by a war is not changed by these insignificant people. In this case, you can only save yourself.
Jiang Zhen and Bai Xiaofu walked into the house. Jiang Zhen didn't speak all the way, and Bai Xiaofu also knew that the most rational decision now was to ignore it, but the sourness in his heart couldn't be ignored.
Bai Xiaofu walked up to Qian Sanjin and shook his head slightly at Qian Sanjin, when he shook his head, Bai Xiaofu felt that his body was like a rusty self, acting against his will. Qian Sanjin did not show disappointment and dissatisfaction.
This is the wise person who can clearly find the most beneficial path for himself in a bunch of conditions. It's like a machine with a rigorous program.
Qian Sanjin said to everyone: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me, our team of people has more goods, there are more than 30 ox carts just pulling goods, and now it is impossible to find a suitable place to settle down, today we still have to live in this house, everyone look at the people in their own house, but we must not hurt them After all, we are now borrowing their place, as for the repayment, you can do it yourself, we can eat very little food now, If you want to give them a little food, give them a little of your dry food, and if you don't want to give it, don't force it, and everyone disperse. ”
Everyone was silent when they heard Qian Sanjin's words, and they couldn't do anything, so they had to silently return to their houses. Bai Xiaofu and Jiang Zhen also returned to their own house, the only dry food left on Bai Xiaofu's body had just been given to the little boy, and when he came back, the little boy was nibbling on the last half of the tortilla, Jiang Zhen and Bai Xiaofu sat on the bed and both said nothing.
After a day's journey, both of them were hungry, Jiang Zhen took out two tortillas from his backpack and handed one to Bai Xiaofu, Bai Xiaofu shook his head and didn't pick it up. Jiang Zhen didn't speak, just kept reaching out and handing it over.
Bai Xiaofu sighed and said, "Big brother, eat it, I'm okay and I'm not hungry." ”
Jiang Zhen frowned, and was just about to speak, when Bai Xiaofu's words interrupted Jiang Zhen, "Big brother, in fact, the bread I just gave them is a waste in a certain way, they don't think that those two breads survived, and if those two cakes are now in my own hands, I can live because of these two cakes." Even if you know that what you are doing is useless, you still want to do it, probably just to comfort your heart. Speaking of this, Bai Xiaofu smiled bitterly.
"For a smart person, I would be stupid to do this, but I can quibble that this is the biggest difference between a person and a dead thing. This is also a decision that is not right or wrong. ”
Jiang Zhen put down the hand handed to Bai Xiaofu and was silent, then stood up and walked out.
Bai Xiaofu covered his face with both hands, he is a modern person who has never seen such a scene, even if he has lived in ancient times for so long, his heart is hard but there is still a soft place, maybe he shouldn't say those words to Jiang Zhen, this kind of purposeless simple and true expression of his heart. He didn't know if Jiang Zhen could understand his mind, but whether he understood or didn't understand couldn't change anything, it just added a person's sympathy.
Jiang Zhen, who walked to the yard, did not continue to keep a clear head because of the cold wind, he felt that Bai Xiaofu's words were like a sharp wooden stick, poking into his heart, completely disturbing his already fluctuating mind, and the picture of the house kept flashing in front of him, the thin little boy squatting on the ground and gobbling up tortillas, the little girl with yellow face and thin muscles who had fallen asleep on the ground, and Bai Xiaofu's self-deprecating laughter with heartache.
Qian Sanjin was tearing off a piece of the cake in his hand and preparing to give it to the two children who were staring at him, when his door was pushed open with a bang, and as soon as the door opened, the biting cold wind rushed in, and with the cold wind poured in, there was a sentence that Qian Sanjin couldn't think of.
Jiang Zhen stood at the door of Qian Sanjin like this, and after thinking outside for nearly an hour, Jiang Zhen finally became a fool. Eagerly walked to Qian Sanjin's door, pushed Qian Sanjin's door open, opened his mouth urgently, and spit out the words he wanted to spit out most in his heart now.
"Unload, put grain!"
Qian Sanjin felt that his ears were broken at that moment, and he heard the last sentence that should not have appeared at this time, and then his eyes were broken, and he felt that Jiang Zhen, who was standing in the dark, seemed to be shrouded in a layer of white light, so that he could clearly see the firm expression on Jiang Zhen's face at this time.
Qian Sanjin was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up, walked to Jiang Zhen's side, invited Jiang Zhen into the room, and then reached out and closed the door behind him. Although Qian Sanjin doubted the authenticity of what he had just heard, and he didn't know whether what he just said was really said by Jiang Zhen or his own heart, Qian Sanjin did not confirm it again to Jiang Zhen.
said to Jiang Zhen: "Your Highness is waiting for a while, I will call those two people, and we will plan the process of this matter in detail." Without waiting for Jiang Zhen to nod, Qian Sanjin slipped out of the door.
Jiang Zhen felt that since he had just said that sentence, his heart had suddenly relaxed, and his breathing had become comfortable. Jiang Zhen did not regret his hasty decision, and he believed that Bai Xiaofu would be very satisfied with his decision. He felt that he had become stupid after being with Bai Xiaofu for a long time, but he was willing to do it.
Qian Sanjin called Bai Xiaofu and Wu Gang to his room, and didn't say anything to them on the way. Bai Xiaofu was about to go out and call Jiang Zhen back, but he was still confused when he was called by Qian Sanjin, and when he opened the door and saw Jiang Zhen sitting in Qian Sanjin's house, Bai Xiaofu frowned slightly.
Qian Sanjin closed the door of the room, and before the two of them sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "Your Highness said that you want to release grain, and I will ask you to come over and plan in detail." Qian Sanjin went out for a trip and his mood had already turned around, and now he only left a faint joy in his heart, and even a sense of pride, and a refreshing mood of not vomiting or unhappy when he spoke.
But Bai Xiaofu and Wu Gang were obviously surprised, they didn't look like Qian Sanjin still had time to digest it. But I can't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart. Bai Xiaofu stood and saw Jiang Zhen sitting on the edge of the bed, as if he had knocked over a honey jar, it was not sweet, the two looked at each other and smiled, with a faint expression of gratitude. Wu Gang had more respect for Jiang Zhen at this time, when he saw the woman in his room who had already felt cold, his heart was sour, but he never thought that Jiang Zhen would help these people, he was not as careful as Bai Xiaofu, and he was very intelligent, but he also really knew that the royal people did not take other people's lives in their eyes but regarded their own lives as extremely important, and other people's lives were humble in their eyes and could be played with at will. But seeing Jiang Zhen, who has made such a decision now, Wu Gang couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, if his father was assisted by this fourth prince, maybe he would not have died as a discarded chess piece.
The four of them did it in this small room. Jiang Zhen, as the leader, naturally spoke first, "Lone plans to distribute all the grain to the people of these cities, this is still a city far away from the battlefield, the people can't eat, near the battlefield, the war will cause more displaced people, how can these grains and grasses be to alleviate the disasters caused by the war, now I think that the grain and grass transported by Jiang Jie must be about to arrive, and the soldiers don't need to worry too much about the grain and grass and hope, but these innocent people have no hope, and the war doesn't know when it will end. That's why I want to distribute food and grass to these people. I'd like to hear your opinions. ”
Qian Sanjin said: "Naturally, we don't have any opinions, and I think this is a good thing, but in this way, the possibility of us being exposed is a little greater." As analyzed by the little brother Bai before, as long as we put grain now, we must be outstanding, and we will definitely provoke the eyes of the people above, which is really not so easy to control, and if we put grain now, our group of people must be in the eyes, and these people are not all trustworthy, it is difficult to keep the people sent by the second prince Jiang Xiao to monitor me, and the steward Li next to me was the person sent by Jiang Xiao before, so I didn't take him with me on this trip but left it in Beijing. But this does not guarantee that Jiang Xiao is not arranging other people. ”
What Wu Gang wanted to say was said by Qian Sanjin, so he didn't say anything, just nodded, and then his eyes looked at Bai Xiaofu who didn't speak, and even Qian Sanjin's eyes were staring at Bai Xiaofu's body, and the three people under Jiang Zhen were meticulous and thoughtful, and only Bai Xiaofu deserved it. Although the current situation Jiang Zhen wants to get the result is indeed very dangerous and difficult to achieve, but Bai Xiaofu just wants to take what Jiang Zhen said as the only way they can go, not only because this is what he thinks in his heart, but also because this is the first time that Jiang Zhen has shown the benevolence of loving the people like a son that a qualified monarch should have, Bai Xiaofu wants to plan this in the future, so that Jiang Zhen can experience the joy and sense of accomplishment for the sake of the people. In this way, Jiang Zhen can become a qualified prosperous monarch in the future, and today's royal family values the supreme glorious rights that the throne can bring to them, and they do not really realize that behind this power is a greater responsibility. There are even some princes who don't even know why they want to compete for this throne, but it has become an obsession in his heart, as if he was born with such a mission. However, Jiang Zhen's previous understanding of the throne was just an obsession in his heart, even if Bai Xiaofu admitted Jiang Zhen's efforts in his heart, he did not agree with Jiang Zhen's motives. However, now outside the palace, letting Jiang Zhen experience the suffering of the people will definitely make him grow into a benevolent heart for the sake of the people.
