"Childe, what is this?" Lao Cui came out of the shower, put on the old clothes and pants prepared for him by Tang Ping, and then put on a down jacket, but he felt that the whole person was warm.

After looking around the convenience store, he found that there was no one, so he hurriedly picked up a knife and rushed out, and then saw Tang Ping talking to an old man and a young man.

"The people of Shanghe Village!" Tang Ping looked at the sky with some melancholy, and now he didn't know whether he should regret taking over Shanghe Village.

The Turks besieged the city, and the people in this village fled and died.

After the Turks were repulsed, these dozens of families returned to the village, but they fled in a hurry at that time, and they did not bring anything valuable and soft.

When they came back, it was a blessing that the house had not fallen, and there was almost nothing left in the house.

The winter wheat planted last year was not yet ripe and was trampled by the Turkic cavalry, and there was not much left.

If there are young and strong men in the family, they can still go to the city to find some odd jobs and find a way to make a living, like Zhou Laohan, they basically have to wait for death.

That's why as soon as he arrived in Tang Ping, he had the courage to come to borrow food, wanting to ask his only grandson for a way to live.

This kind of thing, if Tang Ping is hiding in Chang'an City, he can pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend not to know, but right under his nose, strictly speaking, these dealers will follow him in the future.

Seeing that they were living so miserably, Tang Ping was really a little worried.

Soon, Lu Yi and Xiao Luo also washed and came out.

For such a situation, even Lu Yi is at a loss, after all, although she can manage Zhuangzi, she can't conjure money and food out of thin air.

"Hey, go and tell the whole village that at least one person from each family should come here."

Tang Ping sighed, although he didn't have the disease of the Holy Mother, he couldn't watch the people around him starve to death after all.

According to what Zhou Laohan said just now, there are almost three or five households like his family in the village, and they are basically waiting to die.

In such a year, even if the neighbors want to help, they can't do anything.

Shanghe Village is not large, with a total of 32 households, and soon dozens of people came to the outside of Tang Ping's courtyard.

Although the sun is just right today, many people are still shivering in a single dress.

"This Tang Ping Gongzi will be the lord of Shanghe Village in the future." Lu Yi stood up and said loudly, and then said to Tang Ping: "Please give a lecture." ”

Lecture? Tang Ping smiled bitterly, these villagers who seem to be worse than the news slums, what do they have to say?

"Today one or two meters per person, one egg per household, and went back to eat dinner. Come here tomorrow morning, I have something to explain. The things that are sent down must be eaten today, and if you finish eating, there will be tomorrow, and if you find out who keeps it and doesn't eat it, don't think about me sending things again in the future. ”

The villagers below thought that they were hallucinating, and that they had to finish what the main family had eaten.

If you don't finish eating, you won't send it again.

Before everyone came to their senses, Du Laosan took a bright silver rice spoon and knocked on a basin full of rice: "Line up, all line up, come up and report a total of several people in the family." ”

The silver rice spoon shone harshly in the sunlight, but many villagers felt that there was something in the light, called hope.

Soon, everyone in the family returned with their own rice and eggs.

"Xiao Luo cooks, let's eat too!" Tang Ping commanded with low interest.

His convenience store usually sells rice, flour, grain and oil to nearby stores, but the stock is not large.

A few bags of rice add up to only about 400 catties, and today one person only sent one or two meters, and I am still afraid that they will have an accident if they are hungry for a long time and eat too much.

Normally, an average adult can eat one kilogram of rice for 5 days. Counting the old, young, women and children in this village, according to 100 adults, 100 kilograms is enough to eat for 5 days.

400 catties is 200 kilograms, that is, 10 days' ration.

With other noodles, instant noodles, bread, canned food, and biscuits, it is not enough for the whole village to eat for a month.

I knew that I would go back last time and go to the neighborhood to buy a few hundred catties of rice.

"System, can I go back early? Still don't have to stay for 12 hours like last time. ”

"Can't!"

Expected answer.

The only people in this world who still know are Li Jing and the three General Li.

But Tang Ping has not had the habit of borrowing money since he was a child, not to mention that he still has to consider his own personality, today he finally set up a character that can drive the land, and tomorrow he will go to Li Jing to borrow grain, isn't this character collapsed?

Xiaoluo and Lao Cui Lao Du met by chance, there should be no problem with people, but the green Yike sent later may not be, and he didn't know that Li Shimin and the others regarded him as the son of Pingyang and his own nephew.

He just felt that he was such an immortal child, and it was impossible for the Tang royal family not to look at him, and this Lu Yi was most likely the one who came to see him.

It's just that he didn't plan to do anything to destroy Datang, and Lu Yi's ability was also what he needed, so he agreed.

Today's performance of the summoning land to let the convenience store move, including showing all kinds of magic in his convenience store, can not be said to be for the Tang royal family.

The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and the greater the ability they showed, the safer they would be before they fully figured out their details.

After dinner, while Lu Yi and Xiaoluo went upstairs to wash the dishes, Tang Ping sat next to Lao Cui and asked, "Lao Cui, where do you say I should go to get some food for the villagers to spend this time first?" ”

Lao Cui did not doubt him, after all, in his opinion, the rice in Tangping's shop was all fairy rice, and it was normal to find ordinary food for the villagers.

"In fact, Chang'an is not too short of food, it is the people and the government who lack food."

"The people and the government?" Tang Ping was stunned, the people and the government have no food, why do you say that Chang'an is not short of food?

"Because the government has been reducing taxes in recent years, and the military expenses during the war are also large, the government actually does not have much surplus food, as far as I know, even if it is a military salary like General Li, it is just enough to eat and clothe."

The General Li in his mouth is Li Jing, and as a senior general of the Tang Dynasty, he is only a level of food and clothing, so you can imagine the life of a civilian.

"Where is the grain?"

"The family!"

Lao Cui woke up the dreamer with a word, and Tang Ping remembered the five surnames and seven wangs seen in those novels, but he didn't expect that this parallel world was similar to the Tang Dynasty in the past reality.

"That's right!" Then Lao Cui gave a general introduction to the situation of the family that he knew.

It seems that only the deceased family has found a way to "borrow" this grain.
