…… Li's second daughter-in-law's careful thinking, if it was General Xiao Lu, she would not understand it at all. But when I listened to it in my ears, I just smiled.

"What happened to your two brothers?"

So Li's second daughter-in-law's attention was immediately diverted, and she still had to show off, but this time she had a little more complaint.

They did not trust Liu Yuanjun and were unwilling to follow Liu Yuanjun, so they stayed in Pingyuan City and had to bear the endless labor of Xiao Yuan Gong. It was not until after the fiasco in the summer that the little Yuan Gong ordered that except for the peasants who owned their own land, the rest of the field customers, as well as the less essential people in the plain cities, except for the craftsmen and small officials, should be requisitioned into labor to reclaim the wilderness, and as for the grain obtained, it was said that if the people had their own ploughing cattle, they could keep forty percent, and if they needed to borrow the mules and horses of the little Yuan Gong to plough the cattle, they had to hand over eighty percent.

As a result, many people began to flee one after another, some were arrested, and some managed to escape - such as the maiden brother of Li's second daughter-in-law.

They tried their best to secretly take a boat when the harbor was not yet frozen, and went south to the theater city to join this sister who was very despised by them.

Now her two brothers' residences are arranged by her, and the clothes of the two sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces are also given by her, they are grateful, praised, and wholeheartedly want to find an opportunity to go to General Lu's camp to do an errand.

…… How amazing.

Tongxin looked at the radiant face of the little daughter-in-law beside him, and felt wonderful.

When she was stuffed into the carriage by General Zhang and given to Lu Hangyu, the Lu Hangyu she saw was a simple and ordinary teenager, although he had a stunning martial arts, but when he was placed in the crowd, he would disappear immediately, and no one could find her.

At that time, she was just a weed in the wilderness, and no one cared.

And now she has gradually grown into a towering tree, there are birds landing on the branches to build nests, there are rays (xi two sounds) rats running between the leaves, especially when it rains, maybe there are two monkeys running all the way over, to avoid the rain, and then carefully turn over the branches and leaves, are there two fruits to eat?

They went out very early, but they always went out early, so that they could find a good seller in the market and sell the cloth. When I returned home from selling cloth, the sun had not yet reached midday, and the sun fell on the road, pulling out a long shadow, dyeing the passers-by with a layer of hazy light, which could not be seen clearly.

But a sweeping servant on the side of the road still caught her attention.

The man was not more than forty years old, ragged, and it was not unusual for one side of his body to look rough and big, but on the other side he saw that a right foot was missing, and his right hand had several fingers broken, and he was struggling to sweep away the filth in the cold wind.

The drama city is gradually thriving, and there are more people, so there are more filthy soil and feces on the road, both human and livestock. The state government ordered that the streets should be cleaned every day, both in winter and summer, and even once in the morning and once in the evening, to prevent mosquitoes and flies from attracting mosquitoes and flies in hot weather, or polluting well water and causing plague.

Anyone can sweep the floor, so the pay is very meager, and sweeping from morning to noon can only be satisfied. If you sweep all day, you will be paid twice as much, but you will die of heat in the summer and freeze to death in the winter, and no one will do the work unless you are going to starve to death.

The people's livelihood in Beihai is stable, and although the people are not rich, it is not difficult to make a living, so there are not many people who do such hard work.

But this man knew from the frostbite on his face that he had been dry from morning to night.

He used to be a small official, and after every big battle, he didn't mention the spoils of war, and there was a bounty, which was earned by his martial arts.

But now he has nothing.

Tongxin glanced at Qu Liu, and walked past him without a word.

He swept so hard that he didn't notice anything.

Lu Hangyu's mansion in the drama city is not luxurious, she is not a person who likes gold and jewelry, and there are not many people in the first place. Although Liu Yuanjun had rewards, and there were booties and rewards for every battle in the army, the money was taken away by Tian Yu.

…… It is said that they were all sent to Tancheng, in addition to forging armor weapons, the most important thing is to save a batch of brand-new, unprecedented crossbows for General Lu. For this purpose, General Lu threw a lot of money into it, and Tian Yuanjun also threw money into it, and it is said that millions of dollars can't be stopped, but I still don't know what has been created.

However, as soon as Tongxin entered the door, a hot air still hit his face.

The dried sausages hung under the eaves at the back of the house, avoiding the heat of the main hall and gently swaying in the cold winter wind.

Although the money spent at home is not much, everything that should be spent on life will not be reduced.

So the mansion looks plain, but still calm and comfortable.

When she stood at the door and watched all this, Ah Cao suddenly rushed out!

Carrying a small wooden sword in his hand! "Ahh Rush out!

"Ahcao!" Tongxin was startled, "What are you doing!" ”

Sweating profusely, Ah Cao rushed to the gate of the courtyard before retracting his sword, "I'm practicing diligently!" ”

“…… What to practice? ”

"Practice killing!" Ah Cao proudly straightened his chest, "I will also join the army in the future!" I'm going to be a general, too—Mother! Mother! ”

Condescendingly, he took a step forward and picked him up, carried him up the steps like an eagle caught a rabbit, pressed him on his leg and began to spank his ass!

"Do you know it's wrong!"

"No...... Ignorance! …… Got it! Got it! ”

"What's wrong?"

"Woo woo! I really don't know! Ah Cao cried very sadly, "Mother! Why hit me again! ”

"If you have the ability in the future, you can study, and if you can be a filial piety, even if your ancestors have light!" Tongxin said angrily, "If you don't have the ability, learn a craft, or eat with strength, it's good to farm and herd sheep!" You are not allowed to be a soldier from Rong! ”

"Ah, mother, why?"

"Do you think farming is easy?"

"There is farming and sheep herding, what is there, what is difficult!"

Ah Cao, who was crying, writhed in her mother's arms, and her opinions were very big, and she couldn't understand where her mother's fire came from no matter what.

And his mother just touched his head.

"It's too hard," she said quietly, "you know, there are too many people in this world who don't want us to live in peace." ”

This round-faced five-year-old boy doesn't understand, maybe the businessmen in the drama city don't understand either, and even the people who have gradually forgotten the Xuzhou wars a few years ago don't understand.

But someone understands.

Although Huainan has a warm climate, even in winter, it is not cold, but the servants of Shouchun are much more burdensome than those servants in Zhiju City.

Qu Liu only needs to sweep the dung, put it together, and pull it out of the city.

The people who are responsible for cleaning the streets here in Shouchun need to pick up the hungry people in the streets and alleys and roadside gutters every morning, load them on small carts, and send them out of the city.

Carload after cart, not only to send them out of the city, but also to dig pits and bury them neatly, but even if they are buried, it is not the end of these starvations, because there will be more hungry people who are not dead for a while and a half to dig them out, and then tear them greedily, cut them, divide the spoils, and scatter them in a hurry.

Then there's the wild dog's share.

Clean-up needs to be done very early, never after the end of the day.

Because of the highest place in Shouchun, the magnificent and magnificent building, not inferior to the South Palace of Luoyang, someone will condescendingly look at his city and his people.

In such a beautiful and rich city, the streets should be filled with decent and clean people.

There should be no heads and heads, and there should be no starvation on the side of the road.

Yuan Shu this morning also looked down with satisfaction, looking at the vast land he ruled, and at the starting point of his great foundation.

At his side stood a beautiful woman of national color, with skin like jade, black eyes like autumn water, and thin and long eyebrows that seemed to be frowning, looking at him with a hint of sorrow.

According to common sense, she should not be so sad, she put on a snow-white fur coat, there is not a single miscellaneous hair on it, under the big coat is a curved skirt made of Shu brocade, the pattern of gold and silver threads shines towards the rising sun, and it is more brilliant and bright than the morning glow.

Therefore, after Yuan Shu saw Shouchun's clean and beautiful atmosphere today, he turned around with satisfaction and gently touched Feng's black hair.

The black and thick green silk was so smooth and smooth that anyone who saw it would think that it really didn't need any ornamentation, but when the gold comb full of precious stones was inserted in the hair, everyone thought that such an ornament was worthy of her alluring beauty.

"Have you ever heard," Yuan Shu said with a smile, "there is another great drought in the Central Plains this year. ”

"The concubine is in the deep boudoir, how can I hear about it." The Feng family said softly, "Why did the general show such joy? ”

"Natural disasters are still frequent, and the people are struggling to make a living, this must be the meaning of the end of the Han royal family." Yuan Shu's fingers seemed to be caressing the treasure comb, and seemed to be stroking the heirloom jade seal in his imagination, "The Liu family is coming to an end, and the day when the Yuan family is prosperous is approaching." ”

His smile today was very different from before, and this sentence was also extremely dangerous, so Feng Lady had to put away her habitual sad face, and asked a little panicked.

"If the general wants to establish himself as the master, what should the princes of the world do?"

Yuan Shu didn't hesitate at all, the confidence, firmness, and pride on his face were reflected in the morning sun, and also in the eyes of the Feng family.

"I am the one who is destined to return, what can the princes do to me?!" He laughed and said, "There was a proverb that said, 'Those who represent the Han should be Tu Gaoye', my word highway is exactly what it says!" ”

The words seem to be good.

But the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor still shocked the people of the world.

So since the second year of Jian'an, a major war that finally swept the Central Plains began because of this proverb.

Chapter 214

This winter is really cold, dripping into ice.

Whenever the small yellow gate of the vigil patrols the palace passes by a leaky room, you must always remember to turn over the charcoal basin to prevent the leakage from freezing.

It's hard work, so it's always given to the new children.

The Son of Heaven has just returned to Luoyang, and there are many little boys who want to enter the palace to beg for a bite to eat and not starve to death.

These little yellow gatekeepers, who played in the cold wind of the night, reported to the entire palace at all times, and then passed from the court to the entire desolate and dead Yang City.

There was no spark in the large ruins, so the husbands saved a lot of trouble, they only needed to knock on Jiao Dou in the north city and take a walk.

Although most of the houses were burned down here, there were still some decent courtyards of high-ranking families, which were enough to house nobles. It's just that spending the night in such a lonely capital, even if there are people around, always feel gloomy and cold.

Especially considering that there are many dragons and snakes here, it should be more vigilant.

In order to show his trust in the imperial court and respect for the Son of Heaven, when Cao Cao led his troops to Luoyang, he left his troops outside the city, and he only brought dozens of relatives into the city.

…… Of course, these pro-Liduo powerful men, such as Dian Wei, who he affectionately called "the evil of the ancients". When Cao Cao spent the night in the inner room, he must be left to guard the outer room.

Fifty or sixty people stayed in this residence where Cao Cao was a lieutenant, and it was a little crowded, but it still didn't warm him.

A husband walked by on the street, and Kim reminded him that it was time to have a child.

The young scribe beside him coughed lowly, and when he saw the lord looking at him, he smiled.

"It's nothing." Guo Jia smiled, "Just drink some hot wine." ”

"I'm too young to take care of it," the lord shook his head, "and tell them to make a pot of tea." ”

Taking advantage of the interval when the servants quietly left to get hot tea, Cao Cao stretched out his hand, grabbed the tongs, dialed the charcoal basin, and pulled out a yam from it.

The skin of the yam in the charcoal pot does not look very burnt, but it always needs to be left aside to dry for a long time before the skin is peeled off and eaten slowly.

Seeing that the lord patiently took out another one and put it on the edge of the charcoal basin to dry, the corners of Guo Jia's mouth curled.

"My lord is so patient."

This pun didn't have much reaction to Cao Cao, and he was still very calm.

"I have to."

The imperial court is now like this charcoal basin, the charcoal fire and the yam are rolled together, looking at it is already an ember, the floating ash on the top, the fire below is shining, and it is not easy to take the yam out.

The reason why he is so tricky is also very simple - no matter what Cao Cao thinks, he can't imagine that Zang Hong can escort Lu Bu all the way to Luoyang!
