Rui Miao said: "Your Royal Highness, the slave maid has been here before, the most famous here is the Evergreen Temple, there is a spiritual spring in the Evergreen Temple, it is said that the spring water can dispel diseases and reduce disasters, the scenery in the temple is also excellent, the maple leaves of the whole mountain are red in autumn, and now is a good time to enjoy the maple leaves." ”

Scold! Evergreen Temple? What does it mean to be evergreen?

It's good to think about it, but the things that the Evergreen Temple did in the previous life are not evergreen, but stinking for eternity!

In his previous life, Qin Shuhuang was still a little in awe of these Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.

She once sincerely begged for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, blessed her husband and wife, blessed the royal foundation, and blessed the smooth and healthy health of the emperor's brother and aunt...... But none of it came to fruition......

In this life, she realized that what she wanted to get, what she wanted to protect, it was useless to pray for Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, she could only rely on herself!

Evergreen Temple!

When that incident happened, she would be the first to settle accounts with the Evergreen Temple!

Qin Shuhuang shook his head, "I won't go to Changqing Temple today, if you want to go, let's go together another day, and today we will leave Zhuangzi and go to the nearby village to have a look." ”

Qin Shuhuang said this, and everyone didn't feel disappointed, originally this trip was to let the princess relax, naturally the princess went wherever she wanted.

The nearest county seat is called Guangping County, about 50 miles away, and the nearest village is Anling Village, which also has 20 miles of road.

Since you want to go to the nearby villages and counties, the nearest ones are naturally Anling Village and Guangping County.

Fortunately, it is not far away, from the hot spring Zhuangzi to Anling Village for about half an hour.

Out of the range of the hot spring village, there are farmland on both sides of the official road, neat and orderly, the rice has turned from green to yellow, and it will be harvested in about a month.

Rui Miao came to inspect the vicinity of the hot spring Zhuangzi when she was the steward of Zhuangzi for Qin Shuhuang, and she introduced, "Your Highness, the farmland we passed by just now is all hot spring Zhuangzi, and here it is all Huangtian, the acres of fertile fields and abundant crops, which are the best fertile fields in Beijing." This year's grain growth is good, it will be a good year! ”

Qin Shuhuang lifted the curtain and looked out, and sure enough, the layers of Gu Lang were about to be harvested.

From time to time, there are tenant farmers in the fields carrying hoes to check, and at the time of the harvest, they dare not be sloppy at all, which is related to whether the farmers have food to survive the cold winter.

But as the carriage moved, the scenery gradually changed.

Fertile and well-groomed farmland is no more, and abundant crops are gone, replaced by irregular and barren fields.

Although there were crops in the fields, the rise was much worse than that of the royal high-class fertile fields, and the rice and wheat were much sparse.

Seeing His Highness staring at the farmland outside, his brows couldn't help frowning, Rui Miao continued: "Your Highness, most of these are the fields of nearby villagers, and the soil quality is far inferior to the royal high-grade fields, and the geographical location is not very good, at most it is a medium field. ”

The people who have these fields are considered to be well-to-do families, and most of them are landless, who either rely on others as tenant farmers to make a living, or cultivate their own land.

Once the three years have passed, the people will not be able to pay the taxes, and the fields that have just been cultivated will be taken away.

On the way to Anling Village, Qin Shuhuang saw with his own eyes the inferior fields and the fields that had just been cultivated.

The crops in the inferior fields are barren and sparse, and it is foreseeable that the harvest is not half of that of the high-quality fields, and even less of the wasteland that has been reclaimed, and in the first two years, rice and wheat could not be planted at all, but only some good vegetables and coarse grains.

Rao is like this, these barren crops are also the hope of the people in the future, the foundation of survival!

If all this is gone, will the royal family still have the face to rule them?

Qin Shuhuang suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders and that of his imperial brother had become extremely heavy, and he should also let the imperial brother see the people at the bottom when he found an opportunity.

From the hot spring Zhuangzi to the vicinity of Anling Village, it is as if you have returned to the cruel world from the Peach Blossom Spring.

As soon as they arrived at the head of the village, a number of children dressed in tattered clothes and dragging snot came over and ran behind the carriage, if it weren't for the cold-faced Xuan Cang and Xie Cheng beside the carriage, these children would have to pick up the edge of the carriage.

The carriage stopped at a large banyan tree at the head of the village.

Qin Shuhuang was helped out of the carriage by Shiyu.

As far as the eye can see, there are about dozens of families in this small village called Anling, each of which has built a thatched house with a thatched roof, and there is not a single piece of tiles.

Many of the children around were still naked in early autumn.

Qin Shuhuang was about to take a look everywhere in the small village, when he saw two people walking briskly not far away, an old man with white hair and a young man with a swarthy lean.

The old man still had a hoe on his shoulder, apparently a crop that had just been served in the field.

After the two of them arrived in front of them, they immediately gave Qin Shuhuang who was standing in the middle of the hand.

The old man with lace hair asked carefully, "I wonder what you came to our village for, madam?" ”

It turned out that this old man was the chief of Anling Village, and it is estimated that when they arrived at the head of the village, a child quietly went to inform him.

Qin Shuhuang just took a look at it casually, without a special purpose, so he told the truth, "Don't panic, old man, I was just passing by, and when I saw a village here, I got out of the carriage and took a look, not for anything." ”

The young lady before the meeting of the chief had an extraordinary temperament, although she was dressed plainly, she was surrounded by maids and guards, she must have been from a rich family, and the poor in Anling Village couldn't eat enough, and there was no place for this young lady to plot, seeing this, I was a little relieved.

Qin Shuhuang saw that the children around her were all thin and weak, but a few of them turned out to have extremely big bellies, she frowned, this is a sign of malnutrition and disharmony of the five organs, and she must take medicine immediately to recuperate.

Qin Shuhuang's carriage today brought a lot of things, all of which she asked Shilan to prepare.

Seeing this big banyan tree, Qin Shuhuang said to the chief: "Old man, I know some medical skills, I don't know if I can set up a free clinic stall here for me to extract some medical records." Don't worry, I don't charge a copper coin for those who come here to see a doctor, and I also provide medicinal herbs for free. ”

The chief looked at the young lady in front of him with elegant words and deeds, and said that it was a good thing to see a doctor and save people, and he also sent medicine for free, if he went to the county seat to see a doctor, they couldn't afford the medicine, and there were many sick numbers in the village, which just allowed this lady to take a good look.

The lieutenant quickly agreed, and after he thanked Qin Shuhuang, he asked the dark and thin man next to him to move a dilapidated table for Qin Shuhuang and use it as Qin Shuhuang's medical table.

The old man drove away the children who were watching nearby, and told them to go back and tell their families that there was a lady under the big banyan tree at the head of the village who provided free free medical treatment and free medicine.

Many of the children ran away and went back to inform their parents and brothers.

Qin Shuhuang asked Xie Cheng to move the low stool and low table on the carriage and put them next to the old table, and took pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and placed various medicinal materials on the side, so that a simple free clinic stall was set up.

Qin Shuhuang sat behind the table and waited for the patient.

But the strange thing is that a quarter of an hour has passed, and no one has come!
