CHAPTER XVII

"Of course, of course. Even if you don't go, I'll take you there. Xin Li rushed up, and she couldn't wait to take the heavenly evil to the village to watch it immediately.

When you walk into the mountain gate, there is indeed a kind of new and surprising scene.

It turned out that the top of the hill next to the gate was just a small knoll, but when I turned there, there was a wide plain on it. The houses were built relatively densely, there should be seven or eight hundred households, and the whole village has more than 3,000 people.

A large street large enough for five horse-drawn carriages to run in a row is connected to the mountain gate, and the houses on the street are arranged in an orderly manner, like a bazaar.

The flat land far from the house was all planted with green crops, and some people who were busy in the fields near the roadside put down their work and smiled and greeted when they saw the hunting party coming.

"How's it going?" Xinli looked triumphant, as if she was afraid that others would not know how good her clan was.

Of course, after seeing the current prosperity of the metropolis, Tianxie was still impressed by the temperament of this classical architectural complex: "Well, it's not bad. ”

"Huh? That's it. Xinli was not convinced, and said with some disappointment.

"Good, very good, exceptional, exceptional. Heavenly evil had no choice but to chuckle and say so.

"Hmph, no sincerity. Xinli snorted in displeasure.

The Heavenly Evil had no choice but to shake his head and pay close attention to the surrounding environment.

"Alright, here we go. You wait here now, and you can go back after I write down my name. It's good to put things in the compound. Then he said to the heavenly evil: "Go in." ”

"Brother Heavenly Evil, you go to my house tomorrow to play. Xinli suddenly shouted behind her.

"Good. If I'm okay. Heavenly Evil turned around and replied, in fact, he really didn't have anything important.

Enya's home is still very large, just a yard is bigger than a house, and the minister still seems more upscale than ordinary people. But this is the way to have some prestige.

"Father, I'm back. Enya came to the hall and shouted.

"Is Enya back?" a voice came from the side room, and I saw a middle-aged man with a thick short beard come out.

He looks calm, but there are too many vicissitudes on his face, and he is middle-aged but has a little gray hair.

The middle-aged man smiled and looked behind Enya: "Who is this?"

"His name is Fallen Evil, and he is my friend. He wants to stay here for a month, don't we have a lot of vacant rooms?" Enya pointed to her father, "This is my father, named Nanras, who is the minister here. ”

"I'm sorry to disturb you for some time. Heavenly Evil smiled.

"Where, Enya is finally willing to bring her friend back, and I can't be happy yet. You know, that girl's vision is very high, and he can't even look down on such a capable young man in the department, which makes me anxious. Russ looked at the Heavenly Evil over and over again from beginning to end, and said with satisfaction.

"Father, where is this? We're just friends, don't think about it, I'm going to register my name, you tell someone to prepare dinner quickly, I've been hungry all day." Enya suddenly blushed and fled into the side room.

It was another embarrassing atmosphere, and the heavenly evil had no choice but to talk about other things casually: "I wonder if there are any shops around here that specialize in selling grain?"

"Why do you want to buy food?"

Heavenly evil had no choice but to briefly say what happened to the bandits.

"I didn't expect you to have such a homely heart at such a young age, and now there are few people like my little brother who still think about others. Russ sighed, now he can't take care of himself, where can he care about other people's lives and deaths?

"I don't know what the price of food is today? I don't know how much food can be bought with that money. ”

"If you can trust me, I'll personally bring someone to help you count later. Although I don't have the ability to do anything for those people, my conscience as a human being has not been lost. ”

"From Enya's personality, you can know that you are a good father worthy of respect. Uncle said something serious, I'll trouble you later. ”

"It's just that money alone doesn't work・・・・・・・ Russ hesitated.

"The war has gone on for so long that the country of Butru has reached the point of internal and external troubles. The three countries have been at war for more than 100 years, and the contradictions during this period may not be clear. Whoever surrenders will bear the huge losses of past wars, so it is inevitable that the war will continue, it is only a matter of time. Today, most of Butroux is already miserable, and opinions and resentment against the regime are growing, and in previous years there were people who organized an army to resist. Although the rebel army was wiped out in three days, the imperial capital was moved and frightened. Since then, it has been forbidden to buy grain in large quantities by unknown and unknown persons. Just like our Nancun, with a population of 3,500 flowers, the limit per month is that you can only buy a maximum of 10,000 catties. ”

"What if you buy it in large quantities?"

"Individuals who buy large quantities must be explained by the city officials, and they can only buy in large quantities after approval, and there are also restrictions. If you buy it alone, you can buy up to 100 catties per person a month. ”

"That's a bit of a problem. ”

"If you're going to use that food to help the struggling villages, I have an idea. ”

"I'm tired of asking for advice. ”

"I can help you call the ministers and village chiefs of each village, and they will write the certificate and hand it to you to buy it in Durban City. Then even the grain merchant has no reason not to sell to you. ”

"Then you will be in trouble with the minister. ”

"Compared to you, I'm a little embarrassed. Nowadays, the lives of the poor are as cheap as grass clippings, who cares. ”

"Father, why don't you ask someone to cook? What if you neglect the guests?" said Enya, who came in from outside with a booklet.

"Okay, I'll go right away. You help me receive the guests, and I'll go and prepare. Russ watched her daughter walk out wryly.

Enya avoided her father's eyes somewhat unnaturally and looked to the side.

In that world, as long as the hard-working people do not starve to death. Although the Chinese government has not done a good job, at least it does not dare to go against the will of the broad masses of the people, and will not put their ideas on the basic rights and interests of the people. Even if there is a natural disaster, the government's rescue is still very serious. Unlike here, life is deprived of equality, deprived of freedom, deprived of the value of life.

"What do you want?"

"I just talked to the minister about buying grain. ”

"Well, because the regime controls food, it's not very easy to buy now. However, it also inadvertently helped everyone to avoid those wolf-hearted businessmen from buying out the grain road and sitting on the ground to raise the price. ”

"What is the price of food?"

"Now a pound of silver is sold for a pound of copper, although the price is unstable, but the difference is only a few coppers. During the harvest season, one silver can buy two to three catties. I heard that ten years ago, one silver could buy seven or eight catties, but the price of goods grew higher and higher, and it is already like this now. ”

Heavenly evil no longer thinks about that, he is just a tourist, just an outsider in this world. Why bother with your troubles?
