Zhao Ran was speechless, silently digested for a long time, and asked: "In my opinion, the fields rented by the Han people are only a few thousand acres, how can the party members survive with such a small rent?

"Originally, they all had pastures, but in the Battle of White Horse Mountain, the family funds of these party members were basically hollowed out, and the remaining cattle, sheep and horses were all looted by the people of the three tribes, so those pastures were also deserted. As for their livelihood, they can barely make ends meet, and our White Horse Courtyard gives out a day every ten days to distribute rice to the party members and subsidize their families. ”

Zhao Ran looked at the account books of the White Horse Courtyard and had the impression that there was no money for the relief, so he asked, "Where did the money and food come from?"

Lu Fang said: "It is all squeezed out of the ICBC for the construction of the city wall, and it is listed in the construction fee." There are monthly expenses, but I don't know exactly how much......"

Zhao Ran nodded: "There is indeed silver for repairing the city, and the amount is about one hundred taels per month, which is specially allocated by the Tianhe Palace." ”

Lu Fang said: "The months when you really start working are all slack times, and there are only four or five months a year, and the rest is taken out for relief." ”

When the old woman heard this, she begged Zhao Ran: "Abbot Zhao, does it matter if your old man talks in the Taoist courtyard? Can you intercede with Abbot Zeng, and give us a grain of food when we give alms?"

Zhao Ran was surprised: "Old Lu, what's the matter?

Lord Lu Fang nodded and said, "There isn't so much food." These grains were squeezed out of the ICBC used to build the city wall, and it was already the limit of the White Horse Courtyard to feed the party members. I remember that there was a month of food shortage a month ago, and I borrowed silver from the salary of the Taoist priest in the courtyard to buy it. ”

Zhao Ran was speechless, just comforted the old woman for a few words, and then left quickly with Lord Lu Fang-he couldn't continue to sit in the house with peace of mind.

Coming out of this house, Zhao Ran was not in the mood to go to other houses for a while, and Lord Lu accompanied him to walk aimlessly in the streets and alleys. Before I knew it, I came to Xicheng, where the houses were obviously much better, with dozens of families living in large houses with stone and wood structures, with small courtyards in the houses, and some chickens and dogs.

Lu Fangzhu instructed: "The party members are mainly three clans in the city, the Tuoba clan, the Mi Bao clan, and the Pochao clan, the leader of the Tuoba clan is a Zu Ru, and the other two are all Shuming. Abbot, please see, the westernmost family is the ancestor of the Tuoba family, called Li Yansi. ”

Zuru is a big noble title in Western Xia, but I didn't expect that there was actually one in this small Hongyuan City. Zhao Ran silently circled around this ancestral courtyard, this ancestral Ru's title is not low, but he has a little sloppy, but he is down, people are still very capable, and they are even more courageous, I have to say that Zhao Ran is difficult to understand this.

Walking through the gathering area of the party members, Zhao Ran and Lu Fangzhu, who were dressed in Taoist robes, attracted all kinds of eyes, some were surprised, some were disdainful, some were resentful, and some were vicious.

Lord Lu Fang was a little nervous, and said in a low voice, "Abbot, why don't we go faster?"

Zhao Ran let out an "oh" and asked, "Lord Lu Fang is afraid?"

Lu Fang said: "It is also for the safety of the abbot, Xiao Ren in the guest hall was beaten on the street where the party gathered last month, and he lay down for more than a month after going back. ”

"Did you catch it, and how did you deal with it?"

"I don't know who did it, how to investigate and deal with it?"

Zhao Ran frowned and said unhappily: "Fought in vain?"

Lu Fang said: "Abbot Zeng said that the law does not blame the public, since it can't be found, just bear with it." ”

Zhao Ran said: "You don't have to be afraid, follow me to make sure you won't have an accident." ”

Only then did Lord Lu come to his senses, but he was followed by a monk from the Yellow Crown Realm, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot the abbot's ability, hehe." ”

Zhao Ran walked slowly through, but unfortunately no one came to provoke along the way, these party members either squatted on the side of the road to kill people with their eyes, or gathered in one place to play their party people's stone chess, or gambling on the stone table in a certain courtyard, but no one came to play the stick, so that his evil thoughts in his chest could not be realized, and he had to come to the north gate regretfully.

It's much more lively here, hundreds of strong men are sweating and working hard to build the city wall. Zhao Ran saw a few cauldrons in the porridge shed next to him, rice porridge was boiling in the pot, and on the stove next to him were rows of warm mixed dough, and the boiling heat was billowing up.

The supervisor was the Taoist priest of the White Horse Courtyard treasury, who was originally a scribe in the inland county, and he naturally knew the newly appointed abbot Zhao, not to mention that there was Lu Fangzhu next to him, so he hurriedly rushed forward to see: "Humble duty...... Xiaodao has seen the abbot. ”

Zhao Ran asked, "These are all Hermes-Epitek?"

The Taoist priest replied, "It's all Han people, and the party members are very lazy and don't want to do such heavy work." ”

"How are the meals distributed?"

"The morning meal has just been served, a bowl of rice porridge and a dough per person. The same is true after work, but each person can take home two pieces of dough. ”

"What kind of noodles?

"Add some wild vegetables to the millet noodles, two taels a piece, abbot, please rest assured, these are poor people, we all have a conscience, and we don't dare to deduct it. ”

"How many more days will the flour last?"

"There are also thirty days' worth of grain in the storehouse, which are used for the construction of the wall. ”

Zhao Ran nodded and said, "It's okay to add the city wall to the height of one person, don't add it any more." ”

The Taoist priest was stunned and didn't dare to question it, so he had to agree in doubt.

Zhao Ran said again: "Today is the first time that Poor Dao has come to inspect, and it is the Christmas of Taiyi Tianzun, so I ordered to go down and add two dough to each person at night." ”

The Taoist priest nodded hurriedly, and then opened his voice and shouted: "Today, Abbot Zhao inspected the construction period, and it was Taiyi Saving Suffering Tianzun Christmas, and the abbot said, add two dough per person tonight!"

A burst of cheers suddenly broke out in the crowd that was working, and those who were close to each other put down their work and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Ran. On the city wall, under the city wall, suddenly the black pressure overwhelmed a knee.

Zhao Ran took the opportunity to say: "Fellow believers, I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, when I have time, please go to the White Horse Courtyard to worship the Taoist Zun, and my colleagues in the White Horse Courtyard will not waste their efforts." ”

Hundreds of people responded with a bang. So Zhao Ran waved his hand and asked everyone to get up and resume work, and the strong men were more energetic and the trumpet sounded more powerfully.

Zhao Ran felt the faint merit coming from the crowd, looked at these hard-working strong men, and then looked at the rice porridge as clear as water, and the yellow and blackened dough, and sighed to Lord Lu Fang: "These people are the backbone of my Ming Dynasty!"

Lord Lu Fang bowed to Zhao Ran: "Abbot is merciful!"

Zhao Ran said: "This is not compassion, this is making amends." Lao Lu, they came all the way from the mainland to Songfan, and they came for a good life, but we still put the suffering on their backs, and when the backbone is broken, all of us can't raise our heads. ”

Lord Lu was silent for a moment and said, "Abbot, there are some words that I have been holding back for a long time, and I don't know whether to say them to the abbot or not. ”

"Old Lou, just say it. ”

"Abbot Zeng always said that we should take into account the overall situation and understand the general situation, but ......"

Zhao Ran patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean." There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, the key depends on how to understand it. If you have anything to say, let's go back and talk slowly. ”
