Chapter 249: The Victims Block the Way
Naturally, the coachman could hear the movement in the carriage.
I also know that I am afraid that a noble person will fall.
I just don't know, it's Your Majesty or the county order of Wannian County.
I hope it's the county order, and it's good to make a compensatory deal with him.
If you fall on Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will die unforgiving!
Hearing His Majesty's question, he immediately responded respectfully:
"Boss, suddenly a group of refugees rushed out and stopped our carriage."
"In order not to bump into someone, I just pulled the reins!"
Hearing that there were refugees, Li Shimin suddenly sobered up.
He opened his mouth and said, "Brother Qin, you help me out to see the situation."
Seeing this, Qin Fan couldn't help but speak, "You look so drunk, let's stay in the carriage!"
Li Shimin said, "No! I...... Ahem, this is not drunk! But the refugees who stopped the car, they stopped the carriage, there must be a reason, I need to understand clearly."
"They are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and there must be a reason why they became refugees!"
Qin Fan supported his forehead.
Here we go again, this angry look!.
However, it is precisely because he appreciates this that he will receive these two people at the beginning and continue to help them build Datang after that.
Of course, Boss Li did not live up to Qin Fan's expectations, and everything was handled very properly.
Otherwise, just like this, the guy who scolded him at the first time he saw him, where can he stay cool!
couldn't resist Li Shimin, Qin Fan had to help the other party get out of the carriage.
The coachman also calmed the horses and led the carriage aside.
Li Shimin got out of the carriage, and his legs and feet were still a little weak.
Yesterday's wine, the stamina is really great!
He couldn't help but be a little speechless.
After settling down, Li Shimin looked at the people who were blocking the road in front of him.
In front of them were dozens of ragged people.
According to the coachman.
It was a young man who rushed out to block the way.
Then, the victims who had been avoiding the side rushed over one by one and came to the young man's side.
I met the big man in the carriage.
A woman with a scorched face, about thirty or forty years old, knelt down straight, and said:
"This adult, my four sons are not sensible, and they are really hungry, so they collided with the adult's frame, please forgive me."
Li Shimin was about to step forward and help the woman up.
But the little guy who stopped the car rushed up and opened his mouth to bite down.
Fortunately, Qin Fan's eyes were quick and he pulled Li Shimin back a step.
Li Shimin was also a little frightened.
Isn't this kid crazy? I actually opened my mouth and bitten!
The young man also raised his head and glared at Li Shimin: "Don't hurt my mother!"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then reflected that her child actually opened her mouth to bite the big man.
I was immediately frightened.
Hurriedly staggered to his feet and ran over to protect the child.
Then he kowtowed while crying:
"I'm sorry! I didn't discipline Si'er well, and I asked the adults to forgive him! If you want to blame, blame me, my mother!"
His mouth pleaded, and his body trembled.
The other refugees looked at Qin Fan and Li Shimin's faces nervously, for fear that one of the nobles would be angry, so they would beat the mother and daughter, and they were also afraid that they would be angry with everyone.
Seeing this, Li Shimin took a deep breath and stopped helping.
After what he had just done, he understood.
Such an action of supporting the people will cause misunderstanding on the other side.
Because in the minds of these victims, the powerful lord disdains to touch them.
Li Shimin said, "You guys get up first!"
"Let's talk to me about what's going on."
"As for this child......
As soon as they heard Li Shimin mention the child, the refugees were very nervous, for fear that Li Shimin would change his face and reprimand him angrily in the next moment.
Fortunately, Li Shimin did not mean to blame these people.
"This child is very protective of his mother, and I don't care about what he did just now."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The mother still couldn't believe it, and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up.
It was Qin Fan who opened his mouth and explained to everyone:
"This man is a merchant, and he is always giving to the people, and his heart is kind, so do not fear him!"
The refugees cautiously got up from the ground.
Then, an old man walked out of the crowd.
He bowed to Li Shimin and said:
"This lord, the villain is Qiao Bo, the village chief of Longnei Danhe Village, and these are the villagers of our village."
Since the other party calls himself a businessman, it is not appropriate to call him "adult".
So Uncle changed his mind and became the master.
Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Qiao, looking at you like this, I'm afraid you've been away from the village for a long time!"
When Qiao Bo heard this, he also smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, we have been wandering here and there for half a year."
Hearing this, Qin Fan was taken aback.
You must know that in this era, the people are settled in their hometowns.
Even if they are out walking, most of them are in twos and threes, for reasons such as making a living or seeking fame.
But his roots are still in his hometown.
If I have the chance, I will still hope to go back.
So it's really rare to see a village outside for half a year like this!
Seeing that those villagers were still a little nervous and restrained, Qin Fan said:
"Qiaobo, I see that you came out like this, it shouldn't be for the market!"
The so-called market is that at a specific place and on a certain day, the people in the vicinity will gather here to trade and buy.
After all, not every place is as prosperous as Chang'an, and there will be a fang market open every day, and a large number of goods are traded.
Therefore, in some remote and backward places, it will only take ten days and half a month to open the market in some specific places, and then the surrounding people will bring their own products to trade.
Or sell the rabbit meat you hunt.
Or buy a few catties of millet from farmers.
Qin Fan's words narrowed the distance between the two sides.
The village chief, Qiao Bo, smiled bitterly and said:
"Naturally, it's not for the market."
"Who has never returned to the village in order to catch the market and wandered here for half a year?"
In fact, in Datang, ordinary people who want to go to farther places need to be signed by the government!
That is also called the customs clearance document.
In "Journey to the West", Xuanzang traveled through various countries and sought this customs clearance document.
This is also the evidence and proof that he has been to these places.
Therefore, even if the people of these villages want to go to farther places, they can't do it.
After all, if you don't have a customs clearance document, you can't even pass the level.
You can only wander around this area.
The drunkenness on Li Shimin's face also receded, and his whole face looked a lot more serious.
The people of a village have been wandering here for half a year, what do the local officials do to eat?
Could it be that it is like that Taicang County, where officials neglect their duties and do everything just to enrich themselves?
