Chapter 247: Don't Expect Him to Empathize with the Poor
Nanjiang City is the center of the south of the Yangtze River, along the Donglan River is the sea, the promotion group walked along the sea, and arrived at the next place they set before the year - Dongyue Mansion, also called Minzhou Mansion.
Dongyue Province includes one government, five states and two counties, a total of eight administrative institutions at the same level, so it is called 'eight Fujian', with a total of 42 counties under its jurisdiction, it can be said that it is vast, it borders with the south of the Yangtze River, but the geographical climate, climate and folk customs are completely different.
The Dongyue people worship the snake as a totem and worship idol, and 'Min' is the name of the snake god of Dongyue and Nanyue, so the Dongyue people are also called Min people.
The people on the coast of Dongyue Province mostly make a living by fishing, as long as the sea water is not dry, they will not be hungry after all, but there are always water bandits to make trouble, but the people of Fujian are strong, strong in combat, and fight against water bandits all the year round, nine times out of ten, all of which end with the water bandits being captured or wiped out at sea.
Nine of the ten Fujian people are fierce, and one is even more fierce, and this rumor came out of the mouth of the Minzhou bandits.
As soon as the promotion group entered the border of Dongyue, they were surrounded by a group of men with sticks and forks, everyone thought they were bandits at first, but after learning about it, they realized that there was a village nearby, and these people were the people of this village.
A middle-aged man with a goat's beard hurriedly came, and began to apologize before he saw anyone: "Is it the adults of the promotion group?" Get out of the way! They are not water bandits, they are not bandits, they are the promoters sent by the imperial court to teach us how to grow rice! Ten days ago, I just received a notice from the magistrate that adults would enter our village! ”
The villagers got out of the way, and Li Zheng hurriedly rushed forward, looked around, and pounced on Li Changyi: "This must be Zhao Zhuangyuan Zhao!" What a good bearing! ”
Who is not happy to be praised for their good bearing?
Li Changyi lifted the corners of his mouth, and was about to answer no with a smile, when a villager pointed at Zhao Yunjing and said: "Li Zheng, your eyes are not good, the one next to him is the real good bearing!" ”
Li Zheng's surname is Li, his eyes are indeed a little not good, and after being reminded by the villagers, he saw Zhao Yunjing, who was blocked by Li Changyi, and was immediately embarrassed: "Lord Zhao, I'm sorry, please everyone, please!" ”
The village is called a small fishing village, with a population of three or four hundred people, although it is called a small fishing village, but it is not only a living from fishing, they still have land in the village, but the land here is barren and cannot grow any grain, so most of the time, they go out to sea to fish.
However, it is risky to go to sea, and the weather at sea changes for a while, and if you are not careful, you will be swept away by the waves, or you will be unlucky and lose your life in the battle with the bandits, which is also a common thing.
The group entered the village all the way to observe the situation in the village, and saw that there was little green in the village, although the women and children in the village looked bad, but they were all yellow, hungry and thin, and they knew that life was not good at a glance.
The village arranged for Zhao Yunjing and Zhou Mujiao to live in their own home, living in the best room in the house, and they moved to the firewood room with their wife, and the meal that night was also very rich - there are many types, and at first glance, they are all brought together.
The people are fierce, and they are also forced to make a living, who wants to be bald if they have hair? And the look of anticipation when he was looking at them during the meal made the promotion officers feel uncomfortable.
Daliang is still poor, there are still many places where they can't afford to eat, and in the places they can't see, I don't know how many poor people die of hunger!
Before going to bed at night, Zhao Yunjing sat by the window reading a book, Zhou Mujiao took a shower, her hair was wet, Zhao Yunjing closed the book when she saw this, let her sit on the stool, and took her hair towel to wipe her hair.
During the meal, Zhao Yunjing found that Zhou Mujiao looked at it a few times, and it was inconvenient for many people to ask at that time, so there were only two of them in the room at this time, so he asked.
"Lizheng's eyes should be cataracts, it's a good person, but I was delayed by this eye disease."
"Not only Lizheng, but I think most of the people in the village have eye problems." As he spoke, Zhao Yunjing accidentally pulled a few strands of her hair, he apologized warmly, and returned to the topic, "If you have a way to cure Lizheng's eye disease, it is better to take a look at it for others." If these eyes are not good, they are a big no-no at sea. ”
Indeed, from their conversations, they heard several times that they were deceived by the logo of the water bandit and fell into the pit and suffered a lot of losses, and at that time Zhou Mujiao thought that they should not be deceived, but could not see clearly.
She has a prescription for her eyes, but it's too slow, she tends to do surgery, but they may not be able to accept this method for a while, and they dare not try it, so they can only prescribe medicine first.
At most, when the time comes, she will use the plug-in, anyway, she is doing a good thing, and using the plug-in is of course justified.
"By the way, what do you think of the farming method of the small fishing village?" Zhou Mujiao asked.
Zhao Yunjing's movements were more gentle, and he squinted his eyes before saying: "I haven't fully understood the small fishing village, and I don't have a complete idea yet, but I think the first step should be to go out to sea with them to see if they can improve the way they fish." ”
Zhou Mujiao has a different opinion: "There is no problem with the way of fishing, as long as there is water in the sea, you will definitely be able to catch fish, the key is water bandits." There are often water bandits in this area, and the government organizes forces to suppress bandits every year, and each time the intensity is not small, but the results are not effective, and the water bandits are more rampant, according to common sense, there should not be so, there is only one possibility, the collusion of officials and bandits. ”
Zhao Yunjing paused, and there was a knock on the door outside: "Brother Zhao, the moonlight is good tonight, it is suitable for drinking and talking about the rivers and lakes, I wonder if Brother Zhao is interested?" ”
The sky is dark, there are no stars and no moon, where is the moonlight good? Li Changyi is not a drunkard, not drinking.
Zhou Mujiao looked reluctant, and almost opened her mouth to say that she was going to sleep, Zhao Yunjing patted the back of her hand and walked to open the door: "Lord Wang." ”
Regardless of how the lives of the people in the village are down, a person like Li Changyi, who has a good background, has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and is now a prince, wants him to empathize with the poor, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
But he shouldn't have flaunted around with a bottle of wine that could cover a year's ration for a family of eight.
Zhao Yunjing's eyes narrowed: "I won't drink the wine, please tell me if the prince has something." ”
"It's nothing important, I just suddenly remembered that since I became the prince of Anding, you have never had a time to drink with Brother Zhao. The twenty classmates who came out of Taohua County together back then, now there are only you, me, Xiao Ran, and me, Feng Wei, who is closest to me, went to the northwest, and I don't know if his temperament is flexible, whether he will offend the local natives, and will be picked up by others and hung at the city gate to show the public......"
Zhao Yunjing didn't speak, he was actually worried about this, but there was no bad news for the time being, and Feng Wei's temperament had been worn a lot on the way to the west.
Li Changyi hugged the wine jar and was about to open it, when he glanced at a touch of white clothes in the room, he stopped again, and sighed: "I won't tell you the truth, these days the king of Japan has often had nightmares, dreaming that the night we were attacked on the mountain road back to the academy, this king was uneasy, and always felt that something bad was about to happen." Brother Zhao, take care. ”
Li Changyi came with the wine jar, and then left with the wine jar, and under the night, the back looked quite lonely.
Zhao Yunjing tasted his words three times, but he didn't taste any special meaning, so he really had such a dream, and he just came to talk about his dream tonight.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, a bad news came......
