Chapter 840

"Whenever there is a catastrophe, many people who could support themselves will lose their homes. The fields that could support the family will be exchanged for a little grain by the rich. It will be taken away by the rich. The cattle that were originally regarded as family members by the farmers will also be taken away by the rich. Many times, the rich will not let go of the watchdog of the poor...

Poor people who have sold their land, houses, farm cattle, and watchdogs are always hungry. When they have no property to sell, they start selling their sons, daughters, and wives. After they have nothing, they can only sell themselves. The servant of the Qian family...

There are not many opportunities for rich people to make a fortune in peacetime, but whenever there is a big catastrophe, countless well-clothed rich people will appear in the countryside.

The reason why these people became rich was not because they suddenly created a new road to wealth, but because they collected the wealth of many rural farmers who could be self-sufficient at a low price, and after the catastrophe passed, everything returned to its original state , they will naturally become rich..."

Chunyu's family is a well-informed woman, and she herself is a woman from a farming and studying heirloom family in the countryside.

She is very clear about the changes in the lives of the people in the countryside.After saying it now, it is naturally penetrating and thought-provoking.

Li Si finished eating the noodles with his rice bowl bowed, carefully cleaned himself, looked up at Yu Xiurong and said, "I thought the way to make money in business was to produce delicious food, make warm quilts, and build beautiful houses. Make good things that others can't think of and can't do, and then sell them at a high price..."

Yu Xiurong stroked Li Siguangjie's face with a smile and said: "Our family is like this. Your master often says that you don't let the world make money. The business you see in our family, whether it is anti-virus or quilts, Jinchangfang Da The canteen and the reconstruction of the market are all good businesses that are upright.

Therefore, your food and drink expenses in Yun's are all clean money, and you were also raised by your mother with clean money and clean food since childhood, without any trace of blood.

My mother just wanted to use clean money and food to raise a clean little girl. Such a child will be blessed by God and will be safe and happy throughout her life. "

Li Si lifted his head from Yu Xiurong's arms, gritted his fine teeth and said, "Mom, am I richer than those rich people in the countryside?"

Yu Xiurong said: "Yes, even if you don't have enough money, your mother has collected all the money and food that your father, queen mother, and prince brother have given you over the years. Of course you are richer than them."

Li Si showed a sinister smile to Yu Xiurong and said, "If I go to Yanshi and stabilize the prices of all the supplies there, what will happen?"

Cui Yao smiled and said: "The family who originally needed to sell ten mu of land to survive, now only needs to sell two mu to survive the famine; the family who originally needed to sell cattle to survive, now, it is enough to sell a donkey ...As for those who sell their sons and daughters, perhaps they only need to sell their daughters to survive the famine."

Li Si let out a long breath and said: "That's good, that's good, next time, I'll go to Yanshi County.

Before that, though, I need to meet someone. "

Cui smiled and said, "Who are you going to see?"

Li Si covered his mouth and said with a smile, "Mr. Ying."

Yu Xiurong burst out laughing, straightened Li Sili's somewhat messy hair, patted her on the back and said, "Respecting teachers and teaching is the virtue of the Yun family, and it must not be violated."

Li Si nodded heavily and ran out.

Cui Yao thoughtfully said to Yu Xiurong: "Does the Yun family really respect teachers?"

Yu Xiurong said: "You are almost becoming the master in the Yun family, and you still say that the Yun family does not respect teachers?"

Cui Yao curled her lips and said, "I just think Li Yifu, Junhou's teacher, is a bit miserable now."

Cui Shi said: "After Li Yifu was imprisoned, Junhou even sent someone to deliver quilts and food.

He also gave some bribes to the jailers, hoping they would treat Li Yifu better and not abuse him. "

Cui Yao sneered and said, "If one day I'm sent to prison, don't give me quilts and food, remember to send me a pack of the most poisonous poison."

Yu Xiurong raised his hand to pinch Cui Yao's plump buttocks and said, "Okay, why are you crazy?"

Chunyu looked at Cui Yao being pinched by Yu Xiurong, she didn't have half the grace of a lady, she was extremely disrespectful, but for some reason, she felt a trace of envy in her heart.

After the white snow fell to the ground and melted, a gust of cold wind blew in and quickly formed a thin layer of ice on the surface of the earth.

Yin Erhu and Xue Changfeng who had just escaped from the crowd clicked, clicked through the thin ice shell, and came to shelter from the wind behind an old willow tree that several people couldn't hug.

Xue Changfeng looked enviously at the crowd leaving and said to Yin Erhu: "I like doing things in such a lawless way."

Yin Erhu said: "Don't even think about it."

Xue Changfeng said: "If you don't follow me, I'm already a hero here and now."

Yin Erhu said: "If you really did this, believe me, by this time, you are already dead, and I am looking for your bones everywhere, and want to build a tomb for you."

"With the talents of you and my brother, it's not difficult to take advantage of the chaos and break out of the world."

"It's very difficult, and I just raised the flag to rebel, and the next moment I was informed, and then I was killed."

"You're always too downcast when you think about things."

"From the time when my family threw me to a mass grave to feed wild dogs, I no longer have any trust in the people in the countryside. At that time, I will be betrayed by others for a few strings of money, or for some food. It seems that our brothers are worthless at all, and when they are cut into pieces by the officials, they will be watched by groups of villagers. You know, they like to watch people kill people. The happier they are... Besides, they are all happy whether they kill you or me, there is no difference."

Xue Changfeng clicked his tongue and said, "Where did you get these insights?"

Yin Erhu said: "At the mass grave, a crow landed on my face and wanted to peck my eyeballs, but I caught it and drank the crow's blood while thinking about it."

While Yin Erhu was talking, he punched the ancient willow next to him.

Gu Liu was pounded by the punch, and immediately, there was a weak cry of a baby coming from the tree trunk.

Yin Erhu was taken aback, clicked Gu Liu with his finger, and said to Xue Changfeng who was also surprised: "The old willow has become a spirit."

Xue Changfeng jumped onto the branch of the old willow tree, and then got into the tree hole. After a while, he came out of the tree hole with a baby in his arms.

The little baby was plump and white and looked good. It was a baby girl. Judging from the swaddle wrapped in silk and satin, she was a child of a wealthy family.

"There is still a woman inside, but she is already dead. This tree hole is good as a coffin, so I didn't move."

Yin Erhu has experience in raising children. After holding the baby, he took a look at it, then tore off his underwear and changed the baby to a new diaper. The baby is only five months old, and it may be because he is hungry, and he is still howling. Yin Erhu took out a candy and put it near the child's mouth for her to lick.

A child falling from the sky did not surprise Yin Erhu and Xue Changfeng too much. Just less than five miles away from here, the group of people who had just passed robbed Zhang Ren, a rich man in the village.

After eating and drinking at Zhang Ren's house for five days, they set fire to it before leaving.

Yin Erhu could see clearly that the men of the Zhang family were hanged neatly on the trees, while the women of the family were hanged from the beams in disheveled clothes. These people ate all the food, and the money was divided among the leaders. As for the livestock and so on, they were all taken away by those people.

According to Xue Changfeng's records, Zhang Ren's family has a total of 780 mu of land, and there are two shops in the city, one selling salt and the other selling silk. The family is very wealthy.

This little girl should be a little girl of the Zhang family. She fled the Zhang family in a panic by her mother and hid in the tree hole. As a result, she did not wear thick clothes when she came out. When Xue Changfeng saw the woman, she was covered in blood. Turned blue, frozen hard by the wind and snow.

Yin Erhu put the child in his leather jacket, and said to Xue Changfeng, "Go and bring the horse, the two of us will go to the city."

Xue Changfeng pointed to the little girl in his arms and said, "Are you going to raise it yourself?"

Yin Erhu said: "Xiu Niang is pregnant, probably a boy, after we return to Chang'an, the child should be born, so we can raise this child together.

Anyway, they are all shit-eating babies, they don’t know anything, and they will be Lao Tzu’s baby in the future. They will raise them randomly for more than ten years, find a man to marry, and have their daughters drink every year. This business is doing well. "

Xue Changfeng said: "The lord's mission didn't say that you should adopt a little girl for your own benefit."

Yin Erhu smiled and said: "In the mission given by the Lord, he didn't say that I should not save this little girl."

Xue Changfeng roared angrily: "At first, I thought your master was a sinister, cunning, and fierce person. After running away for a few years and coming back, seeing that you were not dead, I thought your master was also a person who valued love and righteousness." I feel that working under this kind of people should be smooth and smooth, and I can do a great job.

Unexpectedly, all day long, the dogs are like bats in the dark. You have never done anything interesting, and you have blinded so many heroes and so much money..."

Before he finished speaking, Yin Erhu slapped Xue Changfeng on the back of the head and said angrily, "You scared the child."

Xue Changfeng looked at the baby with only a small face, growled in a low voice, and went to the place where the horses were kept.

When the three of them, two horses, came to the gate of Yanshi County, they didn't see the guards of the city, Xiangyong, but the heads of the officials who died on the top of the city were hardened by the cold wind and pitch black. Rumo didn't say anything, but he revealed a bit of the demeanor of a Kunlun slave.

Horseshoe Tete stepped on the green striped stone and entered the city gate. After entering, Xue Changfeng found that many people were watching them.

There was nothing strange about this, as smoke was still rising from many places in the city, and passers-by on the street dared not look up even in a hurry.

Xue Changfeng took a long breath of the smell of burnt wood, and said to Yin Erhu, "It smells like barbecue, but I don't think they are eating it."

Yin Erhu said disdainfully: "Don't look at the current chaos, when the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty arrive, they will immediately become obedient citizens who cannot be more obedient.

Now, the surrounding area of ​​Yanshi County has been blocked, and those villains want to survive, they can only hide in the wilderness and forest.

But, it's still very strange. These people hid in the county seat and didn't intend to enter the mountains. They really planned to raise the flag to rebel here? "

Xue Changfeng said excitedly: "It must be so. There are many mountains and forests around Yanshi County. If they form a stronghold in the mountains and forests to protect themselves, they will be able to harass the entire Yanshi County when they go in, and they will be able to harm the surrounding three people along the mountains and forests." For one county, if we can repeat what happened in Yanshi County in the other three counties, it will not be difficult to pull up a team of 6 to [-] people."

Yin Erhu didn't take Xue Changfeng's madness for a long time. The Lord had told him long ago that there is only one end for those who raise the flag and rebel in this period, and that is to be captured alive by the government soldiers and dragged naked to Chang'an or Luoyang people Look, after reading it, the lightest end is a beheading.

The situation in Yanshi County is very strange. Although there are vicious people with roe-headed rats everywhere, the merchants in the market are still open. It seems that they are not affected by this chaos, but the most famous Yuhua in Yanshi County The building was burned to a white ground.

After walking along the street for a while, Yin Erhu suddenly said to Xue Changfeng: "You said that Liao Wu, the leader, followed what rules to kill people and wipe out households?"

Xue Changfeng said: "Zhang Ren of the Zhang family is the patriarch of the local Zhang family. The land in his family is nearly [-] mu, and his net worth is more than [-] guan. Since he was wiped out by that Liao Wu, it means that the rest of the households were wiped out. The family's net worth should not be less than three thousand guan.

For example, the owner of the Yuhua Building. "

Yin Erhu shook his head in doubt and said: "The patriarch of Zhang's family was wiped out, at least it proves that Liao Wu is very organized in his work, and he should have some strong foreign aid, otherwise, Zhang Ren will raise his arms in Zhang's house and call out It's not a big problem for three to five hundred strong people to help him."

Xue Changfeng's eyes flashed brightly, he turned his head to look at Yin Erhu who was on the horse and said, "Is there no more news for you, my lord?"

Yin Erhu shook his head and said, "Only by observing and recording, all twelve groups of people did such things."

Xue Changfeng groaned, and the two passed by the charred Yuhua Building, and saw that there were still many people dragging the charred wood to their homes, and some people kept searching among the rubble, and occasionally picked up from the rubble. I found a broken bowl with a gap in it, and I couldn't help cheering.

There is also a restaurant on the left side of Yuhua Building. Judging from the wine cover hanging outside the door, this is a restaurant that sells alcoholic beverages. Just judging from the area occupied, it is at least two times bigger than Yuhua Building.

"Why can their family do business well?"

Xue Changfeng looked at the normal business in the store and couldn't help asking.

Seeing the sticky mouth of the child in his arms, Yin Erhu brought Xue Changfeng to this two-story restaurant named Dongyang.

The clerk greeted him with a smile, took the reins of the war horse and said, "Is the guest going to spend noon?"

Xue Changfeng said: "Take good care of a certain family's war horse, and don't be harmed by those thieves."

The clerk said without changing his face: "I'm just joking objectively. Yanshi County was originally the fiefdom of Princess Dongyang, and the business of the Princess Mansion will not be violated by thieves."

Xue Changfeng nodded, and walked into the restaurant together with Yin Erhu, and sat down in a spacious private room upstairs where he could see the movement downstairs. He was dumbfounded, as if thinking about something extraordinary.

Yin Erhu was not interested in the affairs here, so he asked the buddy for warm water to wipe the baby girl's sticky mouth.

A five-month-old child can eat a little rice oil. When the rice oil is boiled in the kitchen and fed to the child, the child will be considered alive.

While waiting for the food to arrive, Xue Changfeng opened the records collected by various people in Yin Erhu's backpack.

The more you look at it, the more frightened you become.

Looking back, seeing Yin Erhu smilingly feeding the child with rice oil with a wooden spoon, the child also ate deliciously, so he forcibly held back his curiosity, poured a cup of hot tea and drank it.

There was a rush of hoofbeats, Xue Changfeng looked over, and saw a sturdy man jumped off before the horse stopped, took two quick steps on the ground, and rushed into Dongyang Restaurant without caring about the horse, saying loudly: " Is Master Liao here?"

Immediately, a strong man in blue clothes eight feet tall opened the door curtain and came out from another private room, looked at the man and said, "Boss Zhou, do you have any good news for a certain family?"

The man who came in hurriedly said: "Boss Zhou encountered a high-walled watchtower in Sanchali, and he couldn't get down. I hope Fifth Lord Liao will join in the grand campaign and bring down the Hu family in Sanchali. Fifth Lord Liao can enter the Hu family's mansion first."

Fifth Lord Liao laughed boldly and said, "Okay, if these wealthy households who specialize in drinking human blood don't perish, we bitter hahas won't have a good life. Go, definitely go, let's go."

After saying that, he just greeted him, and immediately a dozen men came out of Dongyang Restaurant and followed Liao Wu.

The little baby girl drank more than half a bowl of rice oil, and then she calmed down, and fell asleep with her eyes closed, but the diaper under her crotch was muddled again.

Yin Erhu found a clean linen cloth and rubbed it vigorously in his hands for a while. When the linen cloth was softened by his rubbing, he warmed it in his arms, washed the baby girl's butt with warm water, and patiently wiped it dry. She puts on a new diaper.

Xue Changfeng was impatient with this, so he got up and left for a while. When he came back, he saw that Yin Erhu had already put the child in his arms, so he pointed to the dirty diapers on the table and said, "You are planning to go on this journey. Do this?"

Yin Erhu cleaned up the dirty diaper, took a sip of the lukewarm noodle soup and said, "What did you do again?"

Xue Changfeng said: "It's not just the property of Princess Dongyang's family that's fine, but all the wealthy households that have ties to the royal family are fine."

Yin Erhu said: "What does this mean?"

Xue Changfeng took a sip of wine and said lightly: "This shows that this riot is related to the royal family."

Yin Erhu smiled and said, "So what?"

Xue Changfeng said: "If the ruler treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will regard the ruler as his heart; if the ruler treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then the ministers will regard the ruler as the people of his country;

The man on horseback who came in just now, and Liao Wu, they all have the shadow of the familiar Baiqisi on them. "

Yin Erhu smiled again: "How are you doing?"

Xue Changfeng pointed to the food on the table and said, "Hurry up, you only have half an incense stick."

Yin Erhu stuffed a piece of mustache into his mouth and said: "There is still plenty of time, we will have to find a place to sleep later, the child is too young to stand the cold."

Xue Changfeng said: "After half a stick of incense, six military kerosene bombs will explode here, and you may not have the time to eat properly by then."

Yin Erhu put down the beard in his hand, looked at Xue Changfeng gloomyly and said, "Do you not consider the casualties here?"

Xue Changfeng said: "The first bomb in the warehouse will explode first, and the fire will spread here, and the people in the building will have time to escape."

Yin Erhu drank the noodle soup in a hurry, and asked in the interval between drinking the soup, "Why?"

Xue Changfeng sneered and said, "Since they want to eliminate rich households, it's best not to keep any rich households. The royal princess can't even think about being alone."

Yin Erhu wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "That's good, burn it clean."

The two of them were escorted by the staff to leave the restaurant, which was still thriving in the chaotic season, and rode their horses to find a place to sleep.

I found a good inn, and found out that it was the property of Princess Dongyang's family. When I was about to stay in the inn, there was a loud noise from the Dongyang restaurant on the street, and then there was a big fire...
