Chapter 178: Yang Biao's Transformation
"Lord be careful, in case these people misbehave......" The attendants stopped Yang Biao from going down the river.
Yang Biao pushed away the attendant and roared angrily: "Go away!" ”
Yang Biao lifted his skirt slightly, walked down the river quickly, and immediately helped one of the people with both hands, and said, "The second and third sons, please get up quickly!" ”
The people rose up one after another, casting grateful and adoring glances at Yang Biao, and some even had tears in their eyes.
Yang Biao was greatly moved, and said: "How can Yang be so virtuous, receive such a great gift from the second and third sons?" ”
A woman wiped her tears and said, "Yang Gong has built so many water conservancy projects for us, so that our fields can be irrigated, and we will be able to worry about food and clothing in the future." If we are not grateful to Yang Gong, then how can we behave? The township party said yes? ”
"Yes." The neat and loud echo was mixed with a few more whimpering.
Yang Biao smacked his lips, but he didn't know what to say.
For a long time, looking at these dusty, short-brown and knotted people, Yang Biao snorted: "The old man has planned so many civil works, working the people and losing money, and the second and third sons don't resent the old man?" ”
A young child looked at it as if he was twelve or thirteen years old, and said with a smile: "Yang Gong's civil engineering was built for us, and it was for me to wait, how can we be dissatisfied?" ”
Another girl who looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old also said vividly: "Yes, and Yang Gong also paid us wages and food, and there has never been a matter of paying the servant husband before, Yang Gong is really a good man!" ”
Yang Biao looked at the project he planned, and even such a young child was sent to serve as a servant, and these two children were so grateful to him, Yang Biao suddenly felt that he was simply too inhuman.
"Thanks to Yang Gong, otherwise we wouldn't even have food, and we would have starved to death on the side of the road."
"Yes, yes, Yang Gong is really a good man!"
The people are talking one by one, but Yang Biao listened silently and did not speak.
"Eh, Yang Gong, why are you crying?" Girls are sharp-eyed.
Yang Biao hurriedly raised the wide sleeves of his robe to wipe his tears and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”
Thinking of Ma Chao's words again, Yang Biao asked: "Among the second and third sons, are there any servants from the previous family?" ”
A woman said: "Yang Gong, the concubine is the body." ”
Yang Biao looked over and saw a young woman and said, "Do you have children?" ”
The woman took a boy of seven or eight years old and said, "Yang Gong, this is the second son of the concubine." ”
When Yang Biao heard this, he was a little puzzled and said, "What about your eldest son?" ”
The woman's face was filled with grief and she said, "The concubine has no eldest son, only the eldest daughter." The daughter is still working as a maid in the family, and because of her little beauty, she does not know what she will be like to be played with by the son of the family......" As she spoke, the woman's tears flowed out like a flood, and she sobbed in a low voice. Her son also bowed his head.
Yang Biao was so ashamed that he was embarrassed, and wanted to comfort him, so he said, "Then don't you still have a husband?" ”
"Husband? The husband had long been beaten to death by the evil slaves of the family. That year, the concubine was pregnant, and her husband stole a chicken from the master's family to raise the concubine's body, and was beaten to death after being discovered.......
An atmosphere of sadness immediately filled the river, and Yang Biao hung his head in silence.
The woman wept for a while, wiped away her tears, and said, "But now it is much better, but the concubine still has a son by her side, and the general has given the concubine thirty acres of land, and the concubine has already planted millet and soybeans, and grafted mulberry trees, so that she will be able to harvest grain and raise silkworms and weave cloth in the coming year." ”
Yang Biao raised his head slightly, and the woman touched her son's head again, and said with longing: "When the son of the concubine is over fifteen years old, the assassin Shi and the general will give him another thirty acres of land." At that time, as long as the general does not dislike it, the concubine will send him to serve in the general's army, and the concubine will find a man to remarry, and then find a bride for his son. ”
Everyone else also came out of their grief and grinned: "Yes, there are good officials like Assassin Shi, General and Yang Gong in Liangzhou, why don't we worry about living a worry-free life?" ”
………………………………………………
Yang Biao talked to the people again, most of them were talking to the people, and Yang Biao was listening, but he still felt that it was not boring, and he listened with relish.
After resigning from the people who repaired the river, Yang Biao re-mounted. At this time, he was no longer stunned.
The attendant said, "My lord, it's almost dusk, so let's go back to Jincheng quickly." ”
Yang Biao said firmly: "I won't go back to Jincheng." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Go back and go to General Jinma Chao."
…………………………………………
After Yang Biao left, Ma Chao remembered that he still had something to confuse Yang Biao to complete, and he was a little anxious. If Yang Biao is not supported, then his conquest of Han Sui will be easily known to him, and the whole plan will be exposed. The 100,000 cavalry of Huangfu Yizhen in Sanfu and Han Sui in Hexi will form a two-sided attack on him, and he will also be forced to fight on two fronts, and the final result is likely to be like Hitler, because of the two-front battle, the battle line is too long, and the supply is insufficient and defeated.
Just when Ma Chao was worried about this matter, he saw that on the official road in the direction of Jincheng, several horsemen were galloping towards him, and it was Yang Biao who had returned.
Ma Chao muttered a little, I don't know why this Yang Biao went and returned, could it be that he came to argue with him about the family again?
Yang Biao galloped to Ma Chao's side, dismounted, and saluted quickly. But this time it was different, he actually hit Ma Chao to the ground.
Ma Chao was still angry with the family, and said coldly: "What is Yang Gong doing? ”
Yang Biao said sincerely: "What General Fang Cai said, the exact disadvantage of the times, is indeed that the family annexation and oppression are too much, and the ordinary people are in a desperate situation. After waking up in the next banner, I felt guilty in my heart, no! Yes, it is guilty. ”
Ma Chao was very surprised by these words, but he didn't expect Yang Biao, who was born in the Dashi clan, to reflect on himself. But Ma Chao thought that this was normal. Yang Biao was not afraid of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, and was still loyal to Emperor Han Xian under such a dangerous situation, and finally protected Emperor Han Xian's eastward migration. To say that Yang Biao does not have noble moral character, Ma Chao does not believe it.
Ma Chao nodded and said, "Zi said: Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great." Yang Gong is worthy of being a celebrity, which is very different from those families who have no conscience. ”
Yang Biao said: "In the lower view, the Xiliang family still holds many slaves and maids hostage, which is contrary to human feelings, and I hope that the military will forcibly deprive the slaves and maids of the Liangzhou family, and there is no need to give the family equivalent compensation." ”
Ma Chao was even more surprised and said, "Doing this, wouldn't the family hate me to the core?" ”
Yang Biao said calmly: "If the general doesn't dare to do it, then this matter will be done by the next generation." ”
