Chapter 007: Zhuo County Order
Two quarters of an hour later, Liu An and Liu Ming walked on the official road outside Liujia Village.
Liu An recognized that this was the direction leading to Zhuo County, so if he wanted to see this person, he should live in Zhuo County.
Walking on the official road, Liu An saw the so-called victims for the first time.
It was okay in Liujia Village before, but as soon as he came out of the house and outside, Liu An found that the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was far worse than he imagined.
It's good that you don't have enough to eat.
As far as the eye can see, all the victims are unclothed, begging for a living, homeless, and even more so, they have families to avoid taxes and evade labor but cannot return!
And the closer they got to Zhuo County, the more people were affected.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, disasters were rampant, plagues were rampant, and earthquakes occurred frequently, resulting in the displacement of the people and unspeakable suffering.
Single in the past ten years......
In the first month of 170, there was a famine in Henan and Hanoi, and there was cannibalism between husband and wife.
In February 171, an earthquake overflowed and the river cleared.
In ancient times, there was a saying that the Yellow River was clear, and there must be a catastrophe.
In the first month of 173, the Great Plague.
In the autumn of 174, the Luoshui flooded.
In June 175, the land of Sanfu was plagued by insects.
In 177, in the summer and April, there was a great drought, and locusts in seven states. August Xinchou, Jingshi earthquake.
February 178, April two earthquakes.
In the spring of 179, another great epidemic broke out. In March, the Jingzhao earthquake.
In the autumn of 180, there was an earthquake in Jiuquan.
In June 181, on a hot summer day, the hail was as big as a chicken.
And the eunuchs of the court were in power, the emperor was immoral, and the scholars only knew how to fight for power and profit.
This people really can't live anymore.
What's more, according to Liu An's previous life, there will be a major epidemic and drought in Dahan this year, and next year, that is, in 183, there will be a big drought!
The grain grains caused by the great drought have not been harvested, and the people have no stock, so they can only starve to death!
Looking at the victims with blank eyes, Liu Anxin had mixed feelings.
In the memory of his predecessor, Liu An had seen a similar scene.
It's just that those flashes like slides are far less shocking than those I saw in person.
Living in the new era, he never imagined that there would be such a tragic scene in front of him.
The clothes on their bodies cannot be described as thin, they can only be said to be barely able to cover the parts that need to be covered.
Dressed in full linen clothes and covered with quilts, they can wake up in the morning, how do these people spend the night?
After eating half a bowl of thick porridge, they still need to eat and wrap their stomachs, how do these people survive day after day?
Liu An didn't know, he didn't dare to think about it, he couldn't imagine it, and he didn't want to experience it himself.
……
……
Liu An didn't know how he walked past the disaster brigade.
I only vaguely remember that Liu Ming pulled himself all the way, holding his sword horizontally in front of him to prevent some hungry victims from rising up and not being good for the two of them.
I don't remember anything else.
It's not that Liu An's heart is the heart of Our Lady, and she can't see any human suffering.
It's just that he grew up under the red flag all the way, and the first time he came into contact with this troubled scene face-to-face, he was too shocked, and his spirit was shocked.
Zhuoxian County is not far from Liujia Village, only a few miles away.
The two of them didn't come to the time when they could see the city wall of Zhuoxian County, and Liu An relieved himself.
There are heavy guards outside the gate of Zhuoxian County, and the victims dare not get too close, because they will be beaten if they get too close.
Liu An patted Liu Ming holding his hand and signaled that he was fine.
"Thank you, Deran." Liu An sincerely thanked him.
If it weren't for Liu Ming just now, he would have fallen into the army of disaster victims by himself, and with his thin arms and legs, he would still be stunned in place, and it would be very likely that he would have been gnawed by the victims to the bone.
Of course, this is just an exaggeration.
But it's good to be stripped naked and take everything away, and it's more likely that you won't be able to get out again.
"Uncle is polite, what?" Liu Ming smiled freely, patted his chest and said: "Uncle and I go out, it is my responsibility to protect my uncle's safety, otherwise I am afraid that I will be scolded by my grandmother half to death when I go back!" Ha ha! ”
Liu Ming was accustomed to the victims of the disaster, and was not affected at all.
"Hahaha! You~~" Liu An laughed along.
He knew that the grandmother in Liu Ming's mouth was referring to his mother Cui, but the other party was definitely not afraid of being scolded to protect himself, but seeing that Liu An was frightened by the victims, he deliberately made a joke to ease the atmosphere.
However, after such a break, Liu An's mood did stabilize a lot, at least he didn't think of those victims from time to time.
While the two were talking and laughing, they came to the gate of Zhuoxian County.
Here comes the embarrassing thing.
When the city guard stretched out his hand to ask for the entrance fee to the city, Liu An touched his body, but he was penniless.
Seeing Liu An's embarrassment, Liu Ming immediately took out five cents to pay Liu An after paying his entrance fee.
The city guard waved his hand to signal that the two could go in, and Liu An was like being amnestied.
This big man is really hard to move an inch without money.
Unlike modern times, as long as you have legs, under the rule of the red flag, the common areas are casually walked.
This time, Liu An didn't thank him anymore, but he was hypocritical when he thanked him too much, silently wrote down Liu Ming's favors, and planned to invite Liu Ming to eat a few more meals when he had money in the future.
After entering the city, the two walked all the way, and finally stopped in front of the county yamen of Zhuoxian County.
However, Liu Ming did not go in directly, but took Liu An to the side door of the county government and knocked on the door.
Looking at this situation, are you here to find the county order?
At this time, Liu An did not know who the county commander of Zhuo County was.
But since Liu Ming knows, maybe it is a certain Liu clan relative, or he simply came out of Liujia Village.
The people of Liujia Village are the descendants of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, although after nearly 300 years of continuation, the bloodline does not know how much it has been diluted, and Liu Sheng's vein is no longer as brilliant as it once was, but there are still some eunuchs recently.
Like Liu Bei's grandfather, he was born in filial piety, and the official was the county magistrate of Fan County.
Liu An's father, Liu Li, inherited the political legacy of Liu Fei, the Marquis of Qianxing, and was also promoted to filial piety, but he died of illness before he could take up any official position.
did not leave any political legacy to Liu An, and the money that the family had saved over the years was used to treat Liu Li's illness, which caused the family to be poor and become what it is now.
After waiting outside the door for a while, an old man came out of the side door, who looked to be older than Liu Ming's housekeeper Liu Wen.
Liu An subconsciously looked at the other party's attributes:
Tianbei, no table words.
Force: 37
Intelligence: 48
Command: 32
Politics: 39
Charm: 35
Phase: 39
Looking at this, Liu An called a good guy!
A housekeeper's attributes are so high?
The force is higher than Liu Ming, and the other attributes don't look bad, this is an attribute that a housekeeper should have?
In fact, Liu An underestimated the position of housekeeper, who can be a housekeeper is not a human being?
If you don't have any ability, you don't have any outstanding specialties, why does the head of the family let you be a housekeeper?
Tian Bei didn't know what the identities of the two were, but seeing that Liu Ming was dressed better than Liu An and was older than Liu An, he felt that Liu Ming should be in charge.
So he looked at Liu Ming and asked carefully, "I don't know what happened to the two of you?" ”
"I and your master's former colleague Lu Shimen, please report the trouble, and say that there are old classmates to visit, this is my life."
Liu Ming said, took out the famous thorn made of bamboo and wood and handed it to Tian Bei.
Tian Bei took the famous thorn and retired and left.
After a while, Tian Bei came back again and invited the two of them into the county office.
The front yard of the county government is used by the county magistrate and its subordinates, and the backyard is where the prefectural magistrate and his family live.
When classmates meet, it is certainly impossible to be in the front yard.
Tian Bei led Liu An and the two all the way into the backyard and came to the living room in the middle of the backyard.
At this time, in front of the door of the living room, there was a majestic and tall man.
In Liu An's opinion, this person's figure is placed in the future generations, a proper star figure.
After getting closer, Liu An was even more sure that if this person was born in modern times, he would definitely be a handsome woman who could fascinate a young woman with a young woman!
"Haha, Deran! It's been a long time! It's not been a day or two since my brother came to Zhuo County, why did Deran come to see my brother now? ”
The man opened his mouth and smiled, his voice loud and full of energy.
Liu An felt that such a charismatic person was definitely not an unknown person, so he looked at the other party's attribute panel with curiosity.
