In the nineteenth year of the Han Dynasty, in the seventh year of Liu Yingxinyuan, in the winter and October, Chang'an City.

The breath of the New Year's Pass has not completely dissipated in Chang'an City, and the doors of every household have also hung up brand-new bamboo talismans, as well as newly purchased door gods.

But compared with the past few years, this year's 'New Year's Pass' is undoubtedly a lot more flavorful.

It's not that the situation of 'there is no New Year's flavor' appeared in the land of China more than 2,000 years in advance;

Instead, the attention of the entire Chang'an City flew to Daibei, thousands of miles away.

- War always attracts a lot of attention······

Especially in such a war, the people of Guanzhong, who contributed to the core and backbone forces, are extremely concerned about the outcome of this war.

It is also in this complex emotion of slight expectation and full of worry that He Duohuang, the third elder of Hejiazhai, took his old wife at home and a few grandchildren who were raised by his side, and stepped on the streets of Chang'an······

"Alas······"

"I don't know if those boys in the village are okay;"

"And that kid in Weiyang, I don't know ······"

As soon as he was halfway through his exclamation, He Duohuang felt a tingling pain in his armpit!

Turning his head with bared teeth, he saw that the old wife was looking at He Duohuang with resentment, and glanced at the eldest son not far away.

"Say less!"

Hearing the old-fashioned reminder, He Duo also hurriedly stopped;

But in his heart, He Duoxiao's thoughts about his grandson He Weiyang are also like a tide, bursting into waves.

——Today, the reason why He Duohuang came to Chang'an with his family is that the autumn harvest has passed;

According to the officials of previous years, He Duohuang wanted to take his family to Chang'an and the two cities to buy some winter supplies, and by the way, he would go around in Jiumo on this eighth street.

Moreover, it is the expectation of his grandson He Weiyang, so that He Duohuang can't sit still at home, and wants to come to Chang'an to see if he can find out any news.

It can be said that he heard the news, and He Duohuang is very worried that he will really hear the news.

Because He Duohuang knew that in this battle, the Han family was passively responding······

"Boss, boss!"

"Look at my corn?"

"-It's not expensive! One stone, only forty dollars! ”

While thinking about it, there was a shouting sound in his ears, which finally made He Duohuang come back to his senses leisurely;

Looking at the little guy in front of him, who was putting his hand in the rice bag, holding a handful of golden corn, and smiling at himself, He Duowei couldn't help but subconsciously say: "This year's new rice? ”

As he spoke, He Duo Huang stepped forward, subconsciously inserted his hand into the rice bag and stretched it out, and pulled it out;

Seeing He Duomi's behavior, the little guy was not annoyed, but only nodded vigorously, and helped He Duohuang open the rice bag a little.

"Of course it's new rice!"

"If it was old rice from previous years, the owner wouldn't dare to take it out, wouldn't it?"

With the voice of the little girl's words, He Duowei finally took out a handful of rice grains from the bottom of the rice bag without the slightest debris;

Holding it in the palm of his hand, he poured his left hand into his right hand, and his right hand into his left hand, and poured it several times before He Duo slowly nodded.

"Not bad;"

"It's really new rice."

"Forty dollars, it's really not too expensive."

The low words came out, which made the little guy even more happy, and hurriedly looked He Duowei up and down, as well as the old woman who stopped and waited on the side.

"Did the old man bring a rice bag?"

"I'll give my husband something, and my husband will take it home to taste?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, he finally came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled and threw the rice back into the rice bag in his hand.

"My family has a good harvest this year, and there is no shortage of rice to eat."

"——It's missing, and in previous years, there was still a lot of old rice, which was stored in the rice warehouse at home."

A word came out with a chuckle, and it was rare for a happy smile to hang on He Duoxiao's face.

In recent years, the life of the people in Guanzhong, especially in Weibei, has undoubtedly been much better.

Stable grain prices and bumper harvests for several years have enabled the vast majority of farmers who own land in Weibei to accumulate considerable wealth in the past few years.

Take Hejiazhai where He Duohuang is located, for example, in Weibei, it is actually not a big village;

But since Liu Ying ascended the throne and made Shaofu monopolize grain and rice, the lives of the villagers of Hejiazhai have improved greatly with the naked eye!

What used to be only half-full, now can eat eighty percent full;

I used to be able to eat eighty percent full, but now I can not only eat two full meals a day, but I can even see meat from time to time!

As for He Duoxiao, there are already some small wealthy families with some family backgrounds, not to mention.

——In the spring of last year, He Duohuang stuck to his old house again, and set up two houses on the left and right, and he was stunned to buy a family business for his two younger sons!

At this moment, the old woman behind He Duohuang also had a large bag in her hand;

The two grandchildren on the side are also holding a hen and planning to go home to raise eggs to eat.

He Duohuang is like this, and most of the idlers and lazy people in Hejiazhai have also found a job.

- In the first few years, I helped the widows and old people in the village who were not rich in men to plant land for two years;

By this year, it can be regarded as gaining the trust of others, and they have rented more than ten or twenty acres of land from several old and weak households.

Just such a large number of dozens of acres of land, planting for a few years, saving money for three years and five years, can always be given to themselves, and the real ownership of their own thirty or fifty acres of land.

If you have a land and a house, you will have a family business;

With a family business, it is just around the corner to find a matchmaker to find relatives and live a good life with a wife and children.

For these changes that have taken place in the village, He Duowei has seen it in his eyes.

He Duowei also knew that the reason why there was such a change in the village was because Shaofu had completely monopolized the grain market in Guanzhong on the orders of the Holy Son of Heaven······

"Eh, late birth;"

Seeing that he didn't buy rice, but he didn't attract the little guy in front of him, he still had a kind face with a smile, He Duowei was tired of walking, and he couldn't help but be interested in chatting for a few sentences.

"Now in this Guanzhong territory, which family is not short of food to eat?"

"Your owner has extra rice, why don't you sell it to Shaofu?"

"-I can inquire, Shaofu this year, it is 45 yuan per stone to collect rice!"

"Takeaway, it's only 50 yuan a stone."

"Your host, why don't you sell it to Shaofu for forty-five yuan, but instead sell it out for forty yuan in this east market?"

Hearing that He Duohuang asked about this, a wry smile immediately appeared on the little guy's face.

"Don't dare to hide it from my father-in-law;"

"——My owner, who was originally the son of a wealthy family in Lantian, has a big family, but he never bullied the villagers;

"In drought and flood years, I will personally bring grain and rice to lend to those lonely, widowed, old and weak ······ in the village."

Unexpectedly, the little guy's words had already been spoken, and He Duoxiao's face changed suddenly!

He looked up and down with a cold gaze, and then looked at the little guy in front of him vigilantly.

"Your owner, I'm afraid it's not a businessman, right?"

"——Shaofu does not accept rice from people with merchant status, so this is why you let your owner sell rice at a reduced price in this East Market?"

said a word coldly, He Duowei couldn't help but snort, and his face was full of contempt.

- What rich people, what good people, all fake!

I'm afraid that it was not the household of the former businessman, or even the grain merchant Mi Jia, who is now suppressed by the Shaofu and has no choice, so he sells rice in this East Market!

As for what, 'personally bringing grain and rice to lend to the lonely, widowed, old and weak in the village', it can't deceive He Duohuang, the old eyes who have seen the ups and downs of the world.

Mi Jia, a grain merchant, took the initiative to borrow rice from others?

Hey······

I'm afraid that it is nine out of thirteen, and I don't forget to bring a twelve-liter big bucket and a seven-and-a-half-liter small bucket out······

Seeing that He Duo saw through the origin of the rice shop, the little guy's face was even more bitter;

was about to open his mouth to explain, but he saw He Duoxiao's face completely sinking and stepping forward with seriousness.

"Late birth!"

"Listen to my advice!"

"-These grain merchants Mijia, not to mention killing one by one, even if they kill one by one, they will definitely not be wronged!"

"I don't look at you as a kid, you don't look like you're a merchant, you should be a farmer's child;"

"Listen to my old man's advice: stop helping these grain merchants who have no conscience and do these things that hurt nature and reason."

"While you are young, find a serious business as soon as possible, and then honor and honor the adults in the family, it is better than anything else!"

Full of solemn persuasion, He Duowei did not forget to stretch out his hand and pat the little guy on the shoulder.

Recalling the past few years, the people of Guanzhong, especially the people of Hejiazhai, were bullied by those grain merchants Mi Jia, He Duowei subconsciously clenched his hands tighter, provoking that little guy, and couldn't help grinning a little.

After being held like this for a while, the little guy finally broke free from He Duohuang's powerful palm like an eagle's claw, but he was not angry, but bowed to He Duohuang with a wry smile.

"What the old man means, the kid naturally understands."

"But the kid's parents died when he was a child, and he didn't have any relatives at all, so he followed the homeless people and ran to this Guanzhong realm."

"At that time, although Guanzhong was no longer fighting, there was really no way for the kid to live;"

"It was the owner who took in the kid and gave him a full bite to eat, so that the kid had this way to live······"

With a wry smile on his face, the little guy didn't forget to turn his head a little and pointed to the rice shop behind him.

"This rice shop, the kid has been staying for more than ten years;"

"Helping the owner look at the rice shop for more than ten years, boy, it can be regarded as seeing the warmth and coldness of people."

"——In the early years, the business of the rice shop was good, and the owner beat and scolded us, and didn't treat us subordinates as human beings at all."

"In recent years, Shaofu has started to sell rice, and the rice shop has no business, but the owner has begun to shush us for warmth, for fear that we will run away again."

"No matter how you say it, the owner is also a life-saving reinvention grace to me; The owner is still holding the deed in his hand. ”

"No matter what, boy, you can't ignore the kindness of the owner······"

"My husband said, is this the reason?"

Listening to the little guy's pretended tone and tell these heavy past events, He Duohuang's cold face couldn't help but give birth to a little sigh and sigh.

Stretched out his hand and patted the little guy on the shoulder again.

"You kid, you have a conscience."

"Being able to remember the kindness of your host is also considered to be the ancestor of your host who has accumulated virtue to have such a blessing."

"Alas······"

"The war of those years ······"

As he spoke, He Duohuang couldn't help but recall those years when Kanto was deeply involved in the war.

- He Duohuang himself, his ancestors are from the Kanto region!

Back then, He Duohuang also had no way to live, so he followed Emperor Taizu Gao and became a soldier who ate military rations.

Fortunately, I was lucky, and I survived all these years, although I didn't have a lot of success, I also saved a few heads;

After the war was settled, He Duohuang moved to Guanzhong, and was given 200 acres of land and a house, and took over his wife and children from his hometown.

He Duohuang knew that he was lucky.

There are many people who are unlucky and die in those dark years;

There are also many unlucky people, like the little guy in front of them, who have no choice but to embark on the road of exile, and in the end, they have to be committed to slavery.

"Alas······"

"It's a poor kid too······"

Secretly sighed, He Duoxiao's beauty was also a lot kinder, he looked away as if talking and laughing, and asked casually: "You kid, where is your ancestral hometown?" ”

When the little guy heard this, he lowered his head full of shame, but he didn't forget to answer: "Boy, I am from Danyang." ”

"A single name calls the word 'Jun'······"

"-Jun?"

Seeing that He Duowei heard this, he repeated it in surprise, and when the little guy nodded again, he stretched out his hand full of surprise and touched it.

"Can give a 'jun' word······"

"I'm afraid, it's not a small family·······

Thinking so, He Duohuang couldn't help but nodded, and smiled at the little guy in front of him.

"The bones of the body are strong;"

"Do you want to join the army?"

asked without warning, but it caused the little guy to raise his head!

Looking at He Duoxiao's gaze, there were complex emotions composed of apprehension, expectation, and doubt for a while.

Seeing this, He Duowei couldn't help but smile, and raised his eyebrows to the north pointedly.

"The eldest grandson of my family, right now in Yanmen, fighting with the heavenly Huns!"

"If the ancestors bless me, I can let my eldest grandson return safely, and in the future, I must at least be a captain."

"You kid, if you are willing to be a personal soldier for my grandson, I will go to your owner and buy and tear up your deed!"

"——In the future, you kid don't have to say anything about 'a single name to call a horse', you can straighten your waist, put your ancestral surname in front of your name."

"Later, when you go to the army, you and my grandson have the same hatred, that is the friendship between birth and death;"

"I have a grandson to take care of you, and I don't dare to say that I want to marry a wife and have children, and leave a pulse of incense for your family, it is not a difficult thing?"

Hearing He Duoxiao's words, the little guy fell into a long period of thought.

After a long time, the little guy turned around, took one last look at the rice shop, and finally made up his mind to kneel down in front of He Duoxiao.

"Boy, Shu Jun, Danyang people, I've seen my father-in-law·······"

Seeing the little guy Shu Jun's reaction, He Duojun couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and was about to play outside the East Market.

- He wants to take Xiao Shujun and buy back the paper deed of sale;

As for why he did this, perhaps, it was indeed what He Duohuang said, or perhaps, He Duohuang was really worried about his grandson He Weiyang and wanted to buy some psychological comfort······

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

！ ”

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he rode by outside the East City, but he was so quick to walk to the side of the road!

"Afterlife! Afterlife~"

A desperate call did not make the flying horse turn around, but only galloped straight along Huayang Street in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

Looking at the back of the flying horse when he left, He Duoxiao's heart couldn't help but be raised.

But only a moment later, countless palace people, eunuchs, and Lang officials poured out of the palace and walked onto the streets of Chang'an.

And the cheers that filled the sky over the entire Chang'an finally made He Duohuang completely settle down······

"Great victory!

"Ma Yi victory!

”
