Chapter 308: Sanniang
Li Shen stood on the stone pier of the city gate, and Cheng Chuliang was still standing next to him.
Cheng Chuliang was happy for a few days, if this was assigned to his father's right guard, would he still be good?
"Your Highness, you still have pomp, and the soup kitchens are bigger than ours." Cheng Chuliang sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Chu Liang, this is the pattern, how big your heart is, how big your world is, money is a superfluous thing for this king, and this king never cares about money." Li Shen stood on Shi Dun and looked into the distance.
"The world is as big as the heart." Cheng Chuliang chewed on this sentence that Li Shen said, and the worship of Li Shen in his heart went up to a new level.
See, this is a model for my generation, you look at the temperament, you look at the demeanor, you look at the appearance of X.
Just as Li Shen looked into the distance, a young figure came into his eyes, a little girl, wearing adult clothes, unkempt, weak, and skinny.
Holding a big bowl in his hand, the bowl is steaming, it should have just finished receiving the porridge, maybe it is too hot, I want to drink it in a hurry and I am afraid that it will blow hard.
At this time, a man came over, picked up the little girl's bowl, and poured the porridge into his own bowl, but before the little girl could react, the man stuffed the bowl back again.
Then the man seemed to say a few words and left, and the little girl looked up at the man, and then looked down at her bowl,
Silently, he buried his head in the bowl and licked it seriously.
The soup soup is inspected by a military guard, one is for fear of crowding, or cutting in line, and the other is to avoid people receiving it repeatedly, so that those who have not received it will not be able to eat.
So each person can only claim it once.
Li Shen saw this scene, and somehow, a soft place in his heart was touched, and anger ignited in his heart.
Seeing the girl's actions, not crying or making trouble, it is obviously not the first time.
For a moment, Li Shen was furious.
"Come on, get that person for me."
Li Shen let out a loud roar and pointed his finger at the man, which alarmed many people.
The man also glanced at the voice after hearing it, just in time to see Li Shen glaring angrily and pointing at himself.
The man secretly said that it was not good, so he ran away.
As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, the guards saw the man in the direction of Li Shen's finger, and several guards chased him out as soon as possible.
He didn't run far before he was kicked to the ground by the guards and escorted over, and the little girl was brought over.
Li Shen came down from the stone pier and squatted in front of the little girl, the little girl was still a little scared, and looked at the little girl at five or six years old at close range.
Although she was unkempt, she could see the beauty between her eyebrows, and the little girl held the bowl in both hands and sent it to Li Shen, and then said softly
"No, I'll give it to you tomorrow, if I can't give you clothes, I'll freeze to death."
Li Shen was silent, his weak voice was like a sharp knife piercing his heart, and something seemed to be blocked in his throat.
At a young age, he is so sensible, and it is distressing to be sensible.
Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang next to him had red eyes.
"Call me!" Li Shen yelled angrily at the man.
Cheng Chuliang was the first to kick the man, followed by a punch and kick in order to go up.
"Don't fight, don't fight." But the little girl said anxiously,
"Why can't you beat him," Li Shen asked.
"He can find me a place to sleep, or I'll freeze to death at night." The little girl said seriously.
Li Shen waved his hand, and then beckoned again, and the man was brought over.
"Tell me, what's the matter with this kid, tell the truth, otherwise this king will chop you up and feed it to the dog."
Li Shen said expressionlessly.
"This king?" Hearing Li Shen say this king, the man's frightened legs collapsed to the ground as soon as they became weak.
"Say it quickly." Seeing this, Cheng Chuliang raised another kick.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang spares his life!!" The man was so frightened that he knelt and kowtowed.
"Tell me, what's the matter with this kid?" Li Shen asked again
"Back to the prince, this child is a small fellow villager, this snow disaster her house collapsed, the old man and the man died,
Only orphans and widows were left, and later the food given by the court was not enough to eat, so everyone came to Chang'an, and her mother also fled with her.
It's just that her mother contracted a cold on the road, and gave all the clothes to the child, and she didn't resist the night a few days ago and froze to death.
There were a few women in the shack who occasionally looked after her. The man didn't dare to hide it.
"Since you are a fellow villager, it's okay if you don't take care of it, but why do you still snatch the child's porridge? I don't think it's the first time for you. Li Shen's face turned blue after hearing this, even if human life is like a mustard, even if you don't save yourself when you see death, Li Shen can understand,
But robbing someone else of food is no different from killing someone.
"The villain.... The man thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any good reason.
"Come here, send it to Zuo Wuwei, and work for five years." Li Shen waved his hand
"The prince spared the villain, the villain was wrong." The man was taken down.
Li Shen turned around and looked at the little girl, her young body shivering from the cold. A trace of pity arose in Li Shen's heart.
Li Shen took off the cotton clothes and put them on the little girl, and asked as kindly as possible,
"What's your name?"
"My name is Sanniang." The immature children's voice is crisp, it may be that they have experienced too much, and the answer is very simple.
"How old are you?" Li Shen asked again.
"Six."
The crisp voice made Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang cry, a six-year-old child, can try to survive in this cold weather,
How much trial and luck it takes, Li Shen feels that it must be her mother who has a spirit in heaven to bless her.
Li Shen took a deep breath, tried not to show himself so weak, and said softly:
"Sanniang, can you go with me?"
"It's not good, my mother said that she wanted me to live, and the general in armor would take me away in the future, but my mother didn't let me go with the others." Sanniang's voice was firm.
Her mother meant that in the future, there might be officers and soldiers who would take her to the ward, which was a combination of a nursing home and an orphanage.
It will be paid by the government and sent a special person to take care of it.
Li Shen's heart was even more sour after hearing this, what a great mother, she gave her child a few clothes when she was sick, but she froze to death, and entrusted all the ways of survival to her child before she died.
"Go, call a few guards." Li Shen said to Cheng Chuliang.
Cheng Chuliang hurriedly ran to the city gate, and in a moment he grabbed a captain and came out. There were also a few soldiers in armor.
"Come to Sanniang, take a look, look at what kind of armor you are wearing." Cheng Chuliang asked.
Sanniang looked at a few of them wearing armor, and then began to think hard about what her mother said, and finally pointed to the one on the far right and said happily:
"That's it, general, are you here to take me away?"
(In the Tang Dynasty, the law stated that the common people could retire at the age of sixty, and the officials could retire at the age of seventy, although the ministers must have been later.)
After the people retire, they will leave forty percent of the land to the elderly, whether they can plant it themselves or rent it out.
The law also stipulates that the elderly must be served, and filial piety must be emphasized, and the attitude should be gentle, and the unfilial children will be punished.
If you can live to the age of 80, the court will pay for it and send someone to serve you, and when you are 90 years old, it will be a baby, and the country will serve you comfortably, and the number of people sent will also increase.
The main reason may be the transfer of knowledge. )
