Huang Yi lay on the bed and thought about his life. Born into a family of warlords. It's a matter of what you want from childhood to adulthood. The only regret is that I was instilled with the idea that everything is for the interests of the country, and I have never lived a good life for myself.

At least, I fell in love with Hinata Feixue when I was working with the Japanese. Maybe when there is a real showdown, the state will not agree! Forget it, I don't want to! Huang Yi, who has never escaped in his life, can only let go of this kind of problem first! Now that it's okay, it's all in vain to think about it, and it's even more thorough.

Thinking about the kind face and back of the old lady before, maybe this is not bad. In a strange environment, fall in love with a strange person. Grow old with her, a man who plows and weaves a life. It's time to rest!

It's just that Huang Yi didn't think about a very real problem. He could not help himself in the peaceful years of the 21st century, let alone in the midst of war. Is it really good to cross? No one knows if you starve to death!

Huang Yi, who had figured it out, suddenly felt that his body was much more relaxed, and even his injuries were much better. He staggered and barely got up and walked towards the door.

Pushing open the door, you will see a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo felling. In the courtyard, two chickens were pecking at the dirt on the ground, and straw was piled high on the side. There was a hut in the corner, Huang Yi looked in from the window and saw the figure of the old lady busy. Although the old lady looked fifty or sixty years old, her figure was brisk. Huang Yi knew that a large part of this was because he was not from Korea, which reassured the old man.

Think about the old man carefully, he is obviously kind to save people, but he is worried and afraid. Huang Yi was very moved. He smiled and blessed: "A good person has a safe life." ”

The old lady came out of the firewood room and saw Huang Yi standing in front of the earthen house with the door. Hurriedly put down his things and came over to help him and said, "Xiaoyi, your health is not good, why did you get up?"

Huang Yi put down the hand holding the door and gently covered the hand of the old lady who was holding his other hand: "Auntie, I'm fine." When you are recovering from a serious illness, it is good for your body to walk around more often. It's called physical therapy. ”

"Oh, that's right! The old woman doesn't understand this, so slow down. There's not much room to sit in the courtyard, so I'll bring you a stool into the house. ”

After speaking, the old lady entered the earthen house again, moved a stool, and found a sunny place in the small courtyard to put it down. Only then did he help Huang Yi walk over.

"Thank you, auntie. Huang Yi sincerely thanks.

"You're welcome, you just drank a bowl of porridge, you must still be hungry. I'll bring it to you. These two chickens have been laying fewer eggs recently, so I'll fry you an egg for porridge. Don't wait for Huang Yi to refuse. The figure of the old lady ran to get busy.

Soon the old lady came over with the only other stool left in the room and a small bowl. There was only one fried egg in the bowl on top of the clear porridge that Huang Yi had drunk before.

The old lady sat in front of Huang Yi and replaced the bowl with Huang Yi and said, "Xiaoyi, you are not an ordinary person at first glance." Don't dislike coarse tea and light rice. When I was young, I didn't have good hands and didn't know how to be popular, so I could only follow the old man in my family to grow fields and raise chickens. It was okay a few years ago, but it was useless in these years. The fields can't be cultivated, in fact, these two chickens are also competitive, and they can still change porridge to eat when they lay two eggs a day. ”

Hearing this, Huang Yi's heart was a little heavy. As soon as I came, I ate a bowl of porridge and eggs, which is someone's food after all. Huang Yi made up his mind that he must repay this kind old man: "Auntie, don't you still have a field? When I was young, I had a lot of strength. Huang Yi smiled.

"Hey......" Who knows, the old lady did not show joy when she heard this. Instead, he sighed heavily: "Tian has been taken away by the government." ”

Huang Yi drank the porridge and asked, "How can this be?

The old lady shook her head: "I gave it, but it also means that I didn't give it." One acre of land was given only three taels of silver. ”

Huang Yi was taken aback, he had calculated. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, one mu could have more than 600 square meters, and one tael of silver was only equivalent to about 4,000 yuan. Isn't it less than 10 yuan per square meter? Isn't it a land grab?

Looking at Huang Yi's expression, the old lady could guess what he was thinking, and sighed again and said: "No way, the field can't be planted, but it can be sold for five taels if it is sold to others, but half of the government will be counted as taxes." If you don't sell or cultivate, you say that you occupy the country's land, and then you can only sell it cheaply. ”

"Isn't that a robbery for money? Huang Yi was indignant.

"Hey...... , Xiaoyi. You are not ordinary people, and you do not understand the suffering of our peasants. We don't have the ability to plant fields, and we don't know whether to be happy or troubled even when it's harvest season. The grain cooperatives in the market are all in collusion with the government, and they can sell a bucket of rice for ten wen, but we can't sell it for five wen. It's not okay if you don't sell it. ”

Huang Yi knew that in the Tang Dynasty, a bucket was equivalent to more than ten catties, and a penny was only equivalent to four yuan. Wouldn't ten catties of rice be sold for less than twenty yuan in this way? Huang Yi's hand holding the bowl was tightened: "Why don't you sell it?"

"The government buys five cents from you, sells eight cents to the grain cooperative, and then the grain cooperatives sell it for ten cents. A small bucket of rice will earn the difference of three cents, and the government has calculated the population to leave you a year's mouth. All the others will be collected at a price of five cents. If you don't sell it, he will also say that the war on the front line is tight and there is an urgent shortage of grain and grass, so you promise not to sell it, and all of it will be confiscated. I won't even give you a penny. Where do the poor people go to cry out for grievances? ”

Huang Yi was furious after hearing this: "It's just too deceitful." I only know that there has been corruption in all dynasties, so when I am at home, I turn a blind eye. Who knew it was more serious here. ”

After a burst of angry scolding, Huang Yi found that the old lady's expression was a little frightened. Yes, the people do not fight with the rulers, because they can't fight. So, it's better not to speak ill of him. It was passed out, and the eating board is for sure.

Huang Yi held the old lady's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, auntie." In the future, I honor you. I have no relatives here, and you saved my life. Like my parents. Don't dislike it in the future, you treat me as a son. ”
