Shen Bujiao listened to Shuilian's narration quietly, the veil of this dynasty was lifted little by little in front of her eyes, so as not to blind her eyes, Shen Bujiao noticed that Shuilian's words were very logical and organized, not like an ordinary peasant family who didn't know a single big word.

Shen Bujiao thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever read a book?"

Shuilian was a little surprised, and then said: "Dad is a lifter, I have studied behind my father for a few years. She looked at Shen Bujiao and added, "You too." ”

Shen Bujiao nodded, the wound on her head had fully recovered, and she no longer spoke, thinking about what was the content of this entrance test?

After Shuilian's narration, Shen Bujiao knew that he was now in the Daqi Dynasty, the emperor was mediocre, the traitorous ministers were in charge, the Beidi and the Nanban repeatedly violated the border, and they were afraid of being beaten when they opened the country, which lasted for hundreds of years, and now the emperor is getting older, indulging in asking for immortals, ignoring state affairs, and refusing to let the prince take the throne.

The barbarians began to provoke on the border, the main peace faction and the main battle faction in the court quarreled, and later Zhao Xian and General Zhao led the army to march and quelled the rebellion.

The traitorous ministers controlled the court, really had the ability to do something, and the loyal ministers who wanted to contribute to the Great Prayer were gradually squeezed out of the center of power, the emperor indulged in asking for immortals, recruited Taoist priests to refine pills, built palaces and palaces, worked the people and lost money, taxes became heavier and heavier year by year, and there were rebels every year, but they were ruthlessly suppressed.

Until this year, the imperial court forcibly conscripted troops, and there was a hundred-year drought, and the people who were pressed by forced labor and taxes were out of breath, and if they didn't rebel, they would die, so some people rebelled!

Listening to Shuilian's description, King Yan was the first to raise the banner of rebellion in the vassal states, of course, it is not called rebellion on the bright side, after all, King Yan is in the name of "removing traitorous ministers, Qingjun side", with the first place, there is a second place, the third place, anyway, now the big prayer is about to become a pot of porridge.

The princes may be okay with the people of their fiefs, but they are not very friendly to the people who do not belong to their fiefs, life and death have nothing to do with them, if it is at other times, there are probably people who want to buy people's hearts and be better to the people, but this year is a hundred years of drought, and the crops are not harvested, not only to raise the army, but also to appease the people of the fiefdom and reduce taxes, how can there be excess grain to buy people's hearts?

Shen Bujiao's group fled from the east to the west, the east is where the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom is located, and the war will definitely spread there, and the officials over there will not open the city gate to welcome refugees into the city, there is Beidi in the north, and Nanban in the south, so they can only flee to the west.

There are many mountains and hilly terrain in the west of Daqi, and the climate gets colder and colder the further west you go, and the impact of drought on them is relatively small, but due to the influence of topography and climate in the west, the amount of rice produced by itself is very small, and they do not take these as a staple food.

There are a lot of people who flee from east to west all the way, but they can really get here, four or five out of ten is the limit, most of the people who flee are in one village or several villages as a unit, they are afraid that others will rob themselves, and the villagers will more or less help each other, anyway, they are more reliable than strangers.

The destination they went to was Pingling City, I heard that the general of Pingling City was loyal, originally Zhao Xian Zhao's subordinates, after the death of General Zhao, he was exiled to this place where birds don't, Pingling City is relative to the prosperous place of the capital of Daqi, it can be described as a poor and remote place, and the dignitaries and nobles don't bother to come here at all, which also leads to the imperial court's control of Pingling City is not so great, in Pingling City, the general Zhao Cheng military regime is grasped, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a soil emperor.

With the experience of General Zhao Xian and General Zhao, Zhao Cheng is not very interested in "Conglong Gong", he just wants to protect the peace of the people in a city, and he is getting older, he is already the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, I don't know how many years there are to live, and the juniors in the family are not as fierce as him.

The momentum of the big controversy has no intention of wading into this troubled water.

Anyway, Pingling City is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is not a place where soldiers must fight, the population here is small, the terrain is precipitous, the climate is not suitable, there is almost nothing worth noting, just hold on, as long as it does not make too much noise, hinder the eyes of the big people, Pingling City is definitely a place to live in troubled times.

Shen Bujiao and their families naturally couldn't bring nothing when they fled, thanks to Shuilian's dead father's blessing, their family would not escape from poverty and nothing, but after a long journey, they bought water for the treatment of the dead brother, and there was not much silver left, and there were only two or three changes of clothes and some miscellaneous things in the three burdens.

As the sun sets, the sky is getting darker, and the autumn wind carries some cold air, making people shiver with coldness, and they hide in the leeward place, and raise fires, and the flames jump in their eyes, and they can't light up their hearts that are so dim that they are almost barren and silent.

Ding came back, brought three or four small poor wilting wild vegetables, no water, no pot, no way to cook, dry to eat, the green juice has long dried up, Ding gave one to each person in the big water and small water, took two for himself, put it in his mouth and chew it, swallowed it, ate two grasses, and became even more hungry.

After eating, Ding saw that Xiao Shui was holding the wild vegetable and didn't eat it, and glared at her, "Eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, you will snatch it away." ”

Xiaoshui pouted, "People are saving their children to eat!"

Ding Shi rolled his eyes, "Who made your life bad and voted for me to be my daughter, if you don't eat me, I don't have the strength, where can I find food for you two debt collectors." ”

Xiao Shui chewed the shriveled wild vegetables three or two times, "Sister, why don't you eat it?"

Ding: "You don't care about her, just starve for a few meals, she is not used to it, she doesn't eat this and that, do you want to cut meat for her?"

Xiao Shuixuan's location is on the periphery of the crowd, generally as long as they don't deliberately stare at their house, their sense of existence is almost nothing, Shen Bujiao was still curious at the time, "Why don't you squeeze into the middle?"

Pulling to the side means that the wind is strong, and the fire is clearly extinguished, as if it will strike in the next second.

Xiao Shui looked at Shen Bujiao as if he was looking strange, pointed at himself, and then pointed at Shen Bujiao, "We can already be regarded as a big girl, and my mother is just a woman, although she is a little spicy, but she is always a woman, and the three women drill into the pile of men, or the position that attracts attention, are you going to die?

Shuilian shrugged helplessly, "Besides, if my mother finds something good to come back, of course it's this kind of hidden corner that is easy to eat secretly, hey, if it weren't for our family, there would be three people, just your temperament, what would you do, and you would have been picky and picky, and I would have lost you!"

Shen Bujiao had a black line in her head, from the moment she came over, she knew that her cheap sister was not a loving brother and sister, a gentle and harmless little white rabbit.
