Qin Ban
Chapter 23
Try out the queen's way.Just like what the queen said, although his third prince is not as good-looking and talented as Qin Ban, he is still a serious prince. After that, he will be a prince, and his status will be there.Like their Nan Lan, even if it is a princess who changed into an ordinary royal family, it would be very difficult for them to marry into their Sui royal family.
Now as long as his princess from Nanlan is willing to marry, she will be the princess.The relationship between Da Sui and Nanlan is, to a certain extent, unmatched by other countries.I have to say that Nan Lan also got a big deal.
I don't know what kind of expression Nan Lan's envoys should have when they know about Sui Emperor's idea.
☆, 106
Not surprisingly, on the second day, Emperor Sui heard that Nan Lan's envoy had asked to see him.
At this time, Emperor Sui had just returned from court and was planning to have breakfast. As a result, the eunuch had just finished trying the dishes, and he hadn't even grasped the porridge spoon yet, when he heard that Nanlan's second prince asked to see him.
I am afraid that no one will feel happy when I was interrupted by someone for breakfast.Emperor Sui looked unhappy, and said to the people who came to report: "Take people to the imperial study first, and I will see them after breakfast."
It is said that the plan of the day lies in the morning. If you do not eat well at the beginning of these three meals, it will have a great impact on your body.Now he is not the time when he was young and strong. His princes and princes are gradually growing up, and yesterday the queen was still on his head, and he saw new white hair growing.If you don't pay attention to maintaining your health, you may not be able to survive for a few years.So Emperor Sui attached great importance to this breakfast.
Nan Lan's people were taken directly to the Imperial Study Room, and they could not wait for the Sui Emperor to appear.Although Nanlan was not as powerful as Sui, they were also princes and princesses, and it was their first time to go to another country.When we were in Nanlan before, among other things, at least it was impossible for someone to tell them to wait, right?After staying in the position of under one person and over ten thousand people for a long time, people gradually become unaccustomed to being inferior to others.Even if the person telling them to wait now is Emperor Sui, the dissatisfaction in their hearts is almost too much to contain.
"This Da Sui doesn't care about us at all!" Nan Lan's second prince slammed his fist on the handle of the chair, his tone full of unwillingness.
On the contrary, Chun Yushan sees things more clearly. She is wearing a white dress today. Combined with her deep and charming appearance, which is more charming and dazzling than that of Sui women, it is not abrupt but has a touch of immortality. .
She put her hand on that of her royal brother.A pair of beautiful eyes looked around cautiously, and saw that the palace people were not close, and her royal brother's voice was not very responsive just now, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Royal brother, no matter what we say, we are still in someone else's house now." On the site. Although it is not prudent in words and deeds, we must guard against the ears of the wall. If this word reaches the ears of Emperor Sui, I am afraid that we Nanlan will not get any benefit."
The second prince's complexion was not very good-looking, but in the end he swallowed it in one breath.
In fact, Emperor Sui did not delay for too long.He ate his breakfast a little faster than usual, after all, he thought that there were still people waiting for him to eat less.
When Emperor Sui arrived, it was only a cup of tea.Because of Chun Yushan's reassurance, the second prince Chun Yuchi finally entered the arena with an expression on his face.Seeing Emperor Sui, he got up first and saluted.He didn't have the slightest look of exasperation just now.
The Emperor Sui sat on his seat and asked in the direction of Chun Yushan and the others: "What is the request of the envoy from Nanlan to see me today?" During the gap between the words, the eunuch at the side delivered the tea to the Emperor Sui in a proper manner , so that he can pick it up to moisten his throat with his hand.
When some words come to my lips, I feel that I don’t know how to say them.Frowning in embarrassment, finally thinking of his sister's grievances yesterday, Chunyu Chi made up his mind and took half a step forward, cupping his hands and said, "I, Nan Lan, didn't intend to offend the Sui Emperor. It's just that my sister was raped by my father and queen mother since I was a child." There are brothers who are holding on to the apple of their eye for fear of falling and fear of melting, and what happened yesterday is really unbearable. I just ask Your Majesty to be wise and give us Nan Lan an explanation."
He kept saying that His Majesty is wise, but he didn't want to punish Qin Ban because of a sudden misfortune, that is the greatest unwiseness.
The Sui Emperor silently put the tea in his hand into his mouth, then raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Then...according to Prince Chunyu's opinion, what kind of explanation do you want?"
About an hour later, Chun Yushan and Chun Yuchi walked out of the imperial study room, both brother and sister looked unhappy.Especially Chun Yushan, who almost had the word "reluctantly" written on her face.
"I think Emperor Sui is clearly protecting Qin Ban!" Clenching his hands unwillingly, Chunyu Chi gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Sister, follow me back to Nanlan! I don't believe it anymore. She can sing and dance well, and also knows calligraphy and painting. Will such an outstanding woman cause an embarrassing situation because of his Qin Ban's words?"
He didn't just say this casually.If Chun Yushan returned to Nanlan with him, not to mention the great Sui and Nanlan mountains, it would have taken them nearly a month to come to Dasui alone.Besides, besides the palace people present at that time, the envoys of various countries and the officials of the Great Sui Dynasty, who knows what happened at the Sui Emperor's birthday banquet?
Whether this news will reach them, Nan Lan, is not sure, so what is the impact?
Taking a step back, so what if it is an impact?After all, she is a princess, loved by her parents and elder brothers, no matter who she is married to, as long as she is in Nanlan's territory, no one will dare to treat her badly.
Where is it that men who are not from the Sui Dynasty do not marry?It's not a cargo that has been rejected, oh, Qin Ban doesn't want it anymore, just send it to someone else?
They themselves did not want Chunyu Shan to marry far away, for fear that she would be wronged and her mother's family would be too far away, so they would not be able to help her.This is just right now, and it saves the father and mother the pain of missing their daughter.
"I won't go back." Chun Yushan stood still, her gaze was looking towards the palace gate from afar.At the beginning, because of a painting and calligraphy that she got by accident, she was attached to Tai Sui.Even if he didn't know Qin Ban's appearance, character and age, he yearned to meet this person without hesitation.Until one of her daughters came to this foreign country with her elder brother determined to go her own way.Among so many people, he was different at the first sight.
Qin Ban's appearance is the best she has ever seen.
It is said that beauty is like jade, and she herself is often described as a unparalleled fairy descending to earth.It can be seen that after seeing Qin Ban herself, she knew what it means to be ashamed.He is such a person, he also possesses talent and heart.Among his calligraphy and paintings, the most attractive thing is not the high-level skills.Instead, painting mountains is mountains, and painting water is water.This is very different from the word like.
Although her father and queen dote on her, she is a princess after all.Nanlan's palace is smaller than that of Sui Dynasty.Her daily expectation every year is to be able to go out of the palace to escape the summer heat, go hunting and see the scenery outside.But Qin Ban's calligraphy and painting brought her infinite yearning.
That's the kind of person who dares to promise another person a lifetime of being a couple in front of so many people.If this object is changed to any woman, I am afraid that they are willing to give everything for it.Of course, she felt the same way with men.
She didn't want to just leave, leaving this place where Qin Ban existed.Return to her delicate nest full of warmth and goodness.She wanted to see with her own eyes whether Qin Ban would do what he said, and what would happen to him and the person he loved in the end.What I want to know more is whether Qin Ban will regret rejecting his decision today in the future.
"Brother, I am willing to listen to Emperor Sui's arrangement and marry the third prince as my concubine." She slowly raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes filled with neither sadness nor joy, as if she had seen through something in an instant: "If I Marry him, and after he leaves the mansion and establishes a family, I will be the princess. Although the third prince has no ambitions, he is still a serious prince. We Nan Lan and Da Sui are also in-laws, and the relationship will be closer in the future A few days ago, I overheard my father saying that the tribe in the east intends to rebel, and with the help of Da Sui, it should save a lot of worry."
"Little Dongman, we can handle it ourselves!" Chun Yuchi felt that Chun Yushan's sacrifice was unnecessary.
Chun Yushan turned her head slowly, and said to her imperial brother who always doted on her: "But with the Great Sui, we may not need to spend a single soldier, but with such a name, they dare not act rashly." She She blinked mischievously, and then added: "What's more, I don't want to leave yet, I want to stay here."
"Brother, I can also go to Emperor Sui and ask him to arrange you with the crown prince or the second prince!" At the banquet that day, the second prince of the Sui Dynasty and His Royal Highness the crown prince were both very nice.Only the third prince, hugging left and right, each with a serious look.It's not a good match anyway.
"Brother, the third prince is very good. His Royal Highness is destined to sit in the harem and have three thousand concubines. And the second prince has been fighting on the battlefield all year round and stationed at the border. Could it be that you taught me to stay in the mansion every day and wait for my husband?" Remember my name?" She is a smart person, her father once said that if she is a prince, she must belong to the throne: "What's more, these three princes were married by Emperor Sui, no matter what Anyway, I have the Sui Emperor as my protection. No matter what the Third Prince dares to treat me harshly. So the Third Prince is the best candidate in comparison."
Some things, if you think about it, everything will be easy to handle.
Not long after, during a chat, Qin Ban got the news from Yang Hao that Nan Lan's envoy had left, but Princess Chun Yushan stayed behind.Now lives in the queen's palace.It is said that the auspicious day of the zodiac was chosen to marry the third prince as the concubine.
"She married the third prince?" Qin Ban was also a little surprised by the news.No matter how I think about it, I never thought that the third prince would get a big deal for nothing in the end.
Yang Hao was also a little depressed. Although he didn't have much interest in that princess, what he couldn't understand the most was why this princess stayed and was willing to marry his third brother: "I just learned about it from Brother Huang. Yes, it seems to be what my mother said."
"That's all, it's out of our control, let them go." Qin Ban thought about it and decided not to think about it.Left and right are just unrelated people: "But from this point of view, the third prince loves beauties, so he got what he wanted." He still remembered that when Chun Yushan took off the veil that day, the third prince was almost drooling look.
"That's right, if you have free time, it's better for the prince to ask Liu Ando to discuss the two books of war."
"..." Qin Ban seriously put down the book in his hand, then glanced at Yang Hao and said, "Second prince, it's getting late, you should go back."
"..."

In autumn, the two sides of the Yellow River Basin are not very flat at this time of year.This year's floods are much worse than before, and many people lost their lives.
Although the capital is far away, it has been very busy recently.There are many people who fled along the way, dragging their families with them.The victims were kept out of the city, and they felt pitiful looking at their yellow and emaciated faces, but if they really let them in for a moment, the capital would be in chaos.
Not to mention anything else, fleeing for a long time, without clothes and food, no matter how meek a person is, his eyes will be red because of the most common white flour steamed bun.At that time, if the suppressing force is not in place, not only will the refugees not be saved from fire and water, but the people in the capital will suffer in vain.
A few days ago, Emperor Sui had sent someone to call Master Bao, Shang Shubao of the Ministry of Industry, to control the water at the place where the water was flowing.By the way, let's see why the levee, which was built only last year, was simply washed away this year.Last year, the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated a lot of money to control the floods. On the one hand, it was for the relief of the victims, and more importantly, the Ministry of Industry came up with a new method to improve the previous method of water control by earth blocking.On top of the embankment built of earth, stones were added to form a solid surface.Ramping the inner soil increases the bearing capacity of ordinary soil.Dig ditches around the river to divert the flow.
Logically speaking, although the flood cannot be avoided, the damage cannot be greater than before.
Although the imperial power of the Sui Dynasty was dictatorial, so much money was spent and a lot of trustworthy people were recruited as labor force. Now that this trouble is a waste of people and money, the crime of the emperor's mediocrity has suddenly fallen on the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. It can be said that No responsibility.
The Sui Emperor was furious, and the court issued an order saying that this matter must not be rushed, and the cause must be found out.
Because of the emperor's anger, the court was silent for a while, and all the courtiers did not dare to touch His Majesty's bad luck at this time.
"Qin Shilang, what do you think is the situation?" After the ruling, several officials with good relations and teachings gathered together, full of various speculations about this matter.Qin Ban was also stopped by Zhang Ji from the household department.
Qin Ban turned around and saw that Zhang Ji was the one who hurriedly called to stop him, and smiled slightly. He first pulled his clothes that were not in order because of the wind, and then said: "I can't see that Mr. Zhang usually only stays in the household department and doesn't care about it." Troublesome things, but this time I am so concerned about the Yellow River flood."
He is lazy.When the household department happens to be free, it can’t be idle. If there is something to do, it’s not busy.But this is really a comparison, with Zhang Ji as a comparison, he is really diligent.It's just because at least he would talk about state affairs with the prince when he was free, but Zhang Ji, if you get along with him for a long time, you will find that it is true that as long as he is out of the household affairs, he has no interest.In his words, he has no ambitions.At the beginning, the purpose of taking the exam was to make life better for the family.Being able to be an official in the capital now is a tribute to the ancestors, and there is no higher pursuit.
In fact, what he said was still reserved, and Qin Ban really had to say it.Zhang Ji is just a person who doesn't want to do those dirty things, and doesn't want to belong to any party.It is indeed luck that a person like this can sit in his position.It is more difficult to go online.He can see it too.
Embarrassed by Qin Ban's words, Zhang Ji touched his face, then moved his head slightly to the side implicitly, and said, "Zixian, don't make fun of me." Just now Because of the distance, he just came to court, so in order not to let people gossip, he was called Qin Ban by Qin Shilang.Now that he and Qin Ban are standing close together, they naturally use a more intimate address: "You also know that I am a child from a poor family. My mother used to ask me to study hard, and a woman from a family I moved houses twice. One of them was actually in a place called Niujia Village by the Yellow River Basin.
The husband in Niujia Village took good care of me.Most of my success in this examination is due to the teaching of that gentleman.But then there was a flood and the house was washed away.My mother took me all the way to escape to the suburbs of Beijing and settle down.As for the gentleman from Niujia Village, I also went to look for it later, and I heard that it seemed that the flood caused him to get sick, and he passed away not long after.
Yesterday I passed by the gate of the city, and I couldn't bear to see the refugees who were blocked outside.But also knew it was wise to keep it outside the city.The imperial court didn't just block them out like this, regardless of their life or death, but would send people to send food, clothing and bedding.Looking at them reminds me of my childhood.So it's natural to want to know what's going on. "
Last year, because of the silver issue, the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry had a big quarrel.Their adults said that the Ministry of Industry only opened its mouth and didn't know how to use its brain, and the money it asked for seemed like flowing water for nothing.But Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said that this is a once-and-for-all solution. If their masters disagree, it is because of their short-sightedness.The two almost had a big fight.Fortunately, His Majesty's imperial decree came in time to avoid a disaster.
To put it bluntly, in his own mind, he was on the side of the Ministry of Industry after hearing what the Ministry of Industry suggested.If the people in the basin can no longer suffer from floods because of the hemorrhage this time, that would be a great good deed.
But now, it has only been a year since the dam was built, and instead of being blocked, the flood has grown even bigger.Mr. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry guaranteed with his life that there was no problem with their solution. What's more, in order to prove his words, he rushed to the disaster area in person regardless of the danger.So what is the reason? Is it true that the water this year is so big that the new dams can't stop it?
"So it's like this, I was wrong just now, that brother Zhang shouldn't be joking." Qin Ban didn't expect such a situation, and cupped his hands at Zhang Ji with guilt.His brows were knit together into a beautiful knot, his thin lips were pursed, and he spoke after thinking deeply: "Actually, in my humble opinion, the possibility of this matter being a natural disaster is small, and the possibility of a man-made disaster is higher." .”
He has also been the magistrate of Xiushui for such a long time, and he also knows some of the small minds of officials in those places who are far away from the emperor.In today's area of the Yellow River, when the dam was built, the Ministry of Industry sent a servant to guide it, and then the Ministry of Households transferred the money.No one knows what the real dam will look like.
But since it was His Majesty who made the decision to spend so much money to repair the dam, then the Ministry of Industry must have given enough reasons to persuade His Majesty.The dam may not be as strong as the Ministry of Industry promised, but at least it shouldn't hold back the water for a year.
"Sure enough, Zixian thinks so too!" Zhang Ji had this idea a long time ago, and now he is more confident after hearing Qin Ban's words.The reason why he "doesn't seek to make progress" is because he can't understand those who form cliques for their own personal gain.Now that this incident happened, he even spoke with anger: "The lord of the Ministry of Industry has already rushed over. If something is found out, then Zhou Xiong will be the first to be pushed to the wind! That kind of person is really dead." A hundred times is not enough to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Zhou Xiong was the assistant minister sent by the Ministry of Industry to take charge of the dam construction project.He also controls the money transferred by the imperial court.It can be described as huge power.Now if this matter is really a man-made disaster, it is indeed as Zhang Ji said.
It's just that it's better not to say something too early before the truth comes to light.Otherwise, it is easy to provoke the gun head on yourself.Qin Ban tugged at Zhang Ji's sleeve and said, "Pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't jump to conclusions until the matter is clear."
Zhang Ji is not a stupid person either, and Qin Banyi reminded him that he hid his uncontrollable emotions because he was out of breath.
Liu An had already seen Qin Ban who was being held back, but he didn't go forward and wait by the carriage.Seeing Qin Ban come over now, he was a little unhappy and said, "Why did that Zhang Ji keep you talking for so long? Are you hungry?"
Qin Ban couldn't bear the hunger in the morning, it would be fine if he fell asleep, but as soon as he woke up, he wanted to eat breakfast.This daily courting is just relying on willpower to persevere, and two pieces of pastries will be stuffed in the carriage entering the palace.But Zhang Ji doesn't have any eyesight at all, so he just chats with people, and they talk for so long.After all the people had left, what was the reason for seeing his eyes just now?
Qin Ban enjoys Liu An's caring little appearance the most. He looks like a big and three rough, but he is very painful when he is childish: "Because of the flood, Zhang Ji himself suffered from the flood when he was young, and now he is in his heart. You want to ask me to clarify."
Liu An himself was quite concerned about this matter. Hearing what Qin Ban said, he curled his lips and stopped blaming Zhang Ji.After supporting Qin Ban's hand to send the man into the carriage, he said to Qin Cai, "Hurry up and go home." Then he climbed into the carriage by himself.
"You really are more worried about me starving to death than my mother." Qin Ban said to Liu An amusedly.
Liu An never felt that there was anything wrong with Qin Banhao.Now being teased by Qin Ban is just a sideways look and then generously making Qin Ban laugh enough: "Of course, if my daughter-in-law doesn't love me, who will?"
"..." Qin Ban's smiling and happy face froze suddenly: "Daughter-in-law, what kind of daughter-in-law! Husband!"
"Ah."
"..."
Qin Ban never thought that one day Liu An would become so bad!I don't know who taught it, if he knows it, it will definitely make that person eat and walk around!

Most wealthy families pay attention to not talking when eating or sleeping, but Qin Ban's family doesn't care about these empty etiquettes.In Mrs. Qin's words, both Qin Ban and Qin Wei are very busy people, if they can't even talk while eating, it's true that they won't have much time to talk in a year.
"I see what's the matter with Zhang Ji calling you after the court this morning?" Qin Wei slanted his eyes to the left, and he waited for Qin Ban to take the initiative to tell him, but he waited so long After a long time, Qin Ban has no meaning at all.Since he didn't take the initiative to say it, then he had to ask himself.
A small official like Zhang Ji, Qin Wei, who is in this position, usually doesn't care.It's just because Qin Ban has a good relationship with him, so Qin Wei pays more attention to him.With this attention, I feel that Zhang Ji is a good person both in terms of talent and character.I also thought that if there is a chance, I can help appropriately.After all, young people like him nowadays have been unable to get up because of their poor family background.
Qin Ban originally felt that there was nothing to say, it was just their private speculation.Seeing that his father actually took the initiative to ask, he put his chopsticks aside and said, "It's nothing, I just talked about my views on the destruction of the dam this time. By the way, Dad, I want to go to the outskirts of the city to have a look." .”
He had been thinking about what Zhang Ji said before, seeing the suffering of those fleeing disaster victims.Even if it was sent out to Xiushui before, the people in Xiushui were rich and rich, before it was not his turn to take care of it, and then it was shared before he took care of it.In addition, Xiushui didn't need the capital in the first place, and all the fleeing people wanted to get shelter under the emperor's feet.The few scattered refugees can be solved by relying on what the merchant's family wants to show in front of him.Besides, the disaster victims around Xiushui didn't escape for a long time, far less than those who arrived in the capital.
"Why do you go to the outskirts of the city?" This matter has nothing to do with their Qin family.It's not that Qin Wei doesn't care about the disaster victims, it's just that in this situation, others can't even eat and drink, and suddenly walks up to a well-dressed rich man, it's inevitable that he won't die because of jealousy.If this really happened, no one would say that they cared out of good intentions.
After all, Mrs. Qin is also the mistress of a wealthy family. She has been the mistress of a wealthy family for so many years, and her knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary women.Now she can join in the conversation when the father and son are chatting: "Yes, it's better not to go to that kind of place. What if they get into trouble and don't say anything else, what should I do if I get hurt? ?”
"Mother, Liu An will go with me. It's fine." Qin Ban had already thought that his parents would not agree, so he dragged Liu An along.
In fact, he thinks that with his skills against those ordinary people, at least he can protect himself.But if he brings Liu An, the general, it can be regarded as reassuring his parents.
Qin Ban didn't tell Liu An in advance, so Liu An, who was still eating porridge, was suddenly called and raised his head inexplicably.Then no matter what it was, he glanced at Qin Ban and nodded indiscriminately.
Mrs. Qin couldn't laugh or cry.
In the end, his master couldn't see it, so he reached out and knocked on the head of his stupid apprentice: "You, you still want to lead soldiers to fight like this. I'm afraid as long as Qin Ban said it, you think it's right." ? You won’t hesitate to hit the enemy’s guns!”
"He won't." When Liu An turned his head to look at Qin Ban, the stars that only appeared at night appeared in his eyes, so bright that the whole table felt a little dazzled.
Qin Ban twitched the corner of his mouth, then covered Liu Anliang's excessive eyes with his hand, and said, "That's enough, eat, let's go take a look after dinner."

Even though he was not so happy to be accompanied by Liu An, Mrs. Qin and Qin Wei still did not stop Qin Ban from going to the suburbs.
Qin Ban watched helplessly as even Fu Manfu followed, and one of them brought a dagger for self-defense and sighed, "It's okay, don't act rashly. Our purpose this time is to see those who escaped from famine. What is the situation of the disaster victims, it is not to be an enemy of them."
He also knew that it was because his parents were worried about him, so they must ask Fu Man Fu Quan to take him with him.So even though he only wanted Liu An in his heart, and Qin Cai at most, he didn't refuse to bring Fuman and Fuquan in the end.It's just that looking at this posture is really a bit helpless and a headache.
"Master, don't worry, we all know about it." It is impossible for Fu Manfu Almighty to be a close servant in a rich family like the Qin family.
Fuman looked at Qin Ban's uneasy look and they all found it interesting, and they spoke in a lighter tone: "Madam also asked us to bring a lot of money to the grain store in the north of the city to buy some rice and ask them to cook it. Alright, let’s send it together.”
Most of the refugees came from the north, so they were naturally stopped in the northern suburbs.
"Oh, you're the only one who is clever." Qin Ban always doted on his subordinates, but now he just smiled and knocked Fuman on the head when he was teased, without any intention of blaming him.
The carriage wobbled all the way, and the distance from the city to the northern outskirts was not far, but Qin Ban didn't get off the carriage when he was at the grain store in the north of the city.Instead, he sent Fuman and Qin Cai to buy rice and asked them to make porridge.I sat in the car and waited for the porridge to cook together.
"Master, Master, the shopkeeper of the rice shop said that there are a lot of people fleeing famine this year. He originally wanted to ask him to make the porridge thicker, but the shopkeeper said that would not be enough. Besides, the porridge is not good. Stomach, I asked the shopkeeper to add some rice to make porridge soup, and then asked Fuman to buy a lot of coarse grain pancakes. Although it is not as expensive as white rice, it can resist the stomach.” After a long time, Qin Cai and the others came from Get out of the shop and get back into the car.
Qin Ban was wondering why it took so long for them to go, but now he heard that they did a lot of things.
"Just watch it." Qin Ban suddenly felt that the pastries on the car were not so palatable.Thinking about how the people in the suburbs couldn't even afford to drink porridge, he couldn't eat it even if he was not a person who worried about the country and the people: "Yes, it is good for them to live now as long as they can survive. Where is it? What white rice noodles and brown rice noodles are you looking for?"
I don't know what purpose he came here today, he probably just wanted to see it.
After more than half of the journey, because of the large number of victims, there are more people guarding the city gate than before.Fortunately, it is easy to go out and difficult to get out, and besides, those are all for those poor people.People like them who are riding in a carriage can't be refugees at first glance, so naturally they won't stop them.
I originally thought that the people in the capital would force them to leave here in order not to cause trouble. It stands to reason that everyone should be at the gate of the city except the guards.But Qin Ban and the others actually saw a carriage, followed by a dilapidated flatbed, with a lot of bedding piled up on the flatbed.Not to mention how new and beautiful it is, but at least with these, they don't have to sleep on the ground and take the sky as a blanket.
"Jizhi?" Jizhi was written by Zhang Ji, Qin Ban opened the curtain curiously because Fuman said it outside.He happened to bump into Zhang Ji who also opened the curtain when he heard someone was coming.
Zhang Ji, who was called by name, smiled a little embarrassedly, cupped his hands towards Qin Ban, got out of the car and ran in front of Qin Ban, and said, "I didn't expect you to come, Zixian, maybe it's because this morning Those words I said casually after the court?"
"Living in a temple, one should listen to the words of the people and be loyal to the people. Because I didn't know it before, I thought that the imperial court would take care of these victims who fled from the disaster and they would not be wronged. Now that I have listened to what you said, Of course I was worried and wanted to take a look." Qin Ban also got out of the carriage and followed Zhang Ji to the city gate.
"Actually, to tell you the truth, I also wanted to bring some food. The food provided by the imperial court is limited. Last time I saw a child who was skinny and skinny, gnawing on his hand. I asked him why he gnawed His hands were bleeding from biting.
The child said: "Go back to the adults, because I am hungry."
Zixian, you didn't see that the child's ten fingers are all bumpy.I couldn't bear to give him some money and asked him to buy food.But he said that they can't enter the city now, and no one is willing to exchange food or medicine with him if they have money.He was separated from his parents during the fleeing process, and a grandmother whom he didn't know saw that he was young and pitiful, so she took him with her.But finally, the old and the young arrived in the capital, but the old man fell ill.Now I can only expect the little food from the imperial court every day, and save it to supplement the old man's physical strength, hoping to survive. "
Qin Ban couldn't hear this kind of thing the most. He had never suffered since he was a child, so he couldn't think about what it was like for others to suffer.Now that Zhang Ji had so nakedly cut him open in front of him, he felt unacceptable.
"Then what happened to the old and young couple now?"
Sighing, Zhang Ji said: "I originally asked the boy to invite a doctor, but when I heard that it was to treat these refugees, no doctor dared to come."
"Why?" Qin Ban frowned, it seemed that Zhang Ji would pay the money for such a serious doctor, so why didn't those doctors come to see him?
Liu An took Qin Ban's hand and explained to him: "I'm afraid it's because these victims traveled long distances and still lacked food and clothing. There are many people like this old and young. Those doctors are here, give a person If he is sick, a second and a third will come to him, if they don't show it, the result will probably be the same as eating, right?"
"General Liu is very knowledgeable." Zhang Ji didn't see Liu An holding Qin Ban's hand, only felt that the distance between the two was a bit close.But he is a serious person thinking about marrying a wife to carry on the family line, even if he knew that Qin Ban was different from ordinary people in some things, he didn't think about it in a wrong way.Most importantly, I’m afraid it’s because Liu An is just like what Guo Xin said, he likes women at first glance: “I went to see that day with that child, and I met no less than ten people who were sick along the way. Standing aside, helpless and helpless.
Later, I hid the old man and the child in my car and took them away. Because I was seen by others, many people insisted on grabbing my car and not telling me to leave. "
So this time he left the car inside the city gate.It was because of this that the imperial court did not dare to allow these disaster victims to enter the city easily.Even people like Zhang Ji were blocked outside and had difficulty returning to the city. If these people were really let in, I don't know what troubles would happen.
The scene outside the city was even worse than Qin Ban imagined.Dirty and messy, probably most of these people are good citizens, but in these days when there is not enough food and clothing, only savages are left to be rubbed.
But it is not difficult to understand after thinking about it.There is only so much food distributed by the court every day.Young and strong, there is no guarantee that they will not grab those weak food or things.At this time, no matter whether you are male or female, old or young, no one will sympathize with you when your life is threatened.You can only rely on your own strength to grab it, or at least hold it.This is the essence of living.
As soon as the food Yan Yu called and Zhang Ji's quilt arrived, a group of people rushed forward in such a hurry.You pushed each other, almost causing more injuries due to pushing.If Liu An hadn't been by Qin Ban's side all the time, Qin Ban would have been almost pushed down.In the case of so many people, once they fall, the consequences will be disastrous.
In the end, the few people had no choice but to call the guards who stayed at the city gate to help, and finally sent all the things.
If you want to talk about the entire Sui Dynasty, the one with the most eyeliner must be the Sui Emperor.
Before Qin Bancai broke up with Zhang Ji, he saw Hao Qing's slim figure standing at the door before they reached the door.Seeing Qin Ban, he hurried away
Now as long as his princess from Nanlan is willing to marry, she will be the princess.The relationship between Da Sui and Nanlan is, to a certain extent, unmatched by other countries.I have to say that Nan Lan also got a big deal.
I don't know what kind of expression Nan Lan's envoys should have when they know about Sui Emperor's idea.
☆, 106
Not surprisingly, on the second day, Emperor Sui heard that Nan Lan's envoy had asked to see him.
At this time, Emperor Sui had just returned from court and was planning to have breakfast. As a result, the eunuch had just finished trying the dishes, and he hadn't even grasped the porridge spoon yet, when he heard that Nanlan's second prince asked to see him.
I am afraid that no one will feel happy when I was interrupted by someone for breakfast.Emperor Sui looked unhappy, and said to the people who came to report: "Take people to the imperial study first, and I will see them after breakfast."
It is said that the plan of the day lies in the morning. If you do not eat well at the beginning of these three meals, it will have a great impact on your body.Now he is not the time when he was young and strong. His princes and princes are gradually growing up, and yesterday the queen was still on his head, and he saw new white hair growing.If you don't pay attention to maintaining your health, you may not be able to survive for a few years.So Emperor Sui attached great importance to this breakfast.
Nan Lan's people were taken directly to the Imperial Study Room, and they could not wait for the Sui Emperor to appear.Although Nanlan was not as powerful as Sui, they were also princes and princesses, and it was their first time to go to another country.When we were in Nanlan before, among other things, at least it was impossible for someone to tell them to wait, right?After staying in the position of under one person and over ten thousand people for a long time, people gradually become unaccustomed to being inferior to others.Even if the person telling them to wait now is Emperor Sui, the dissatisfaction in their hearts is almost too much to contain.
"This Da Sui doesn't care about us at all!" Nan Lan's second prince slammed his fist on the handle of the chair, his tone full of unwillingness.
On the contrary, Chun Yushan sees things more clearly. She is wearing a white dress today. Combined with her deep and charming appearance, which is more charming and dazzling than that of Sui women, it is not abrupt but has a touch of immortality. .
She put her hand on that of her royal brother.A pair of beautiful eyes looked around cautiously, and saw that the palace people were not close, and her royal brother's voice was not very responsive just now, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Royal brother, no matter what we say, we are still in someone else's house now." On the site. Although it is not prudent in words and deeds, we must guard against the ears of the wall. If this word reaches the ears of Emperor Sui, I am afraid that we Nanlan will not get any benefit."
The second prince's complexion was not very good-looking, but in the end he swallowed it in one breath.
In fact, Emperor Sui did not delay for too long.He ate his breakfast a little faster than usual, after all, he thought that there were still people waiting for him to eat less.
When Emperor Sui arrived, it was only a cup of tea.Because of Chun Yushan's reassurance, the second prince Chun Yuchi finally entered the arena with an expression on his face.Seeing Emperor Sui, he got up first and saluted.He didn't have the slightest look of exasperation just now.
The Emperor Sui sat on his seat and asked in the direction of Chun Yushan and the others: "What is the request of the envoy from Nanlan to see me today?" During the gap between the words, the eunuch at the side delivered the tea to the Emperor Sui in a proper manner , so that he can pick it up to moisten his throat with his hand.
When some words come to my lips, I feel that I don’t know how to say them.Frowning in embarrassment, finally thinking of his sister's grievances yesterday, Chunyu Chi made up his mind and took half a step forward, cupping his hands and said, "I, Nan Lan, didn't intend to offend the Sui Emperor. It's just that my sister was raped by my father and queen mother since I was a child." There are brothers who are holding on to the apple of their eye for fear of falling and fear of melting, and what happened yesterday is really unbearable. I just ask Your Majesty to be wise and give us Nan Lan an explanation."
He kept saying that His Majesty is wise, but he didn't want to punish Qin Ban because of a sudden misfortune, that is the greatest unwiseness.
The Sui Emperor silently put the tea in his hand into his mouth, then raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Then...according to Prince Chunyu's opinion, what kind of explanation do you want?"
About an hour later, Chun Yushan and Chun Yuchi walked out of the imperial study room, both brother and sister looked unhappy.Especially Chun Yushan, who almost had the word "reluctantly" written on her face.
"I think Emperor Sui is clearly protecting Qin Ban!" Clenching his hands unwillingly, Chunyu Chi gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Sister, follow me back to Nanlan! I don't believe it anymore. She can sing and dance well, and also knows calligraphy and painting. Will such an outstanding woman cause an embarrassing situation because of his Qin Ban's words?"
He didn't just say this casually.If Chun Yushan returned to Nanlan with him, not to mention the great Sui and Nanlan mountains, it would have taken them nearly a month to come to Dasui alone.Besides, besides the palace people present at that time, the envoys of various countries and the officials of the Great Sui Dynasty, who knows what happened at the Sui Emperor's birthday banquet?
Whether this news will reach them, Nan Lan, is not sure, so what is the impact?
Taking a step back, so what if it is an impact?After all, she is a princess, loved by her parents and elder brothers, no matter who she is married to, as long as she is in Nanlan's territory, no one will dare to treat her badly.
Where is it that men who are not from the Sui Dynasty do not marry?It's not a cargo that has been rejected, oh, Qin Ban doesn't want it anymore, just send it to someone else?
They themselves did not want Chunyu Shan to marry far away, for fear that she would be wronged and her mother's family would be too far away, so they would not be able to help her.This is just right now, and it saves the father and mother the pain of missing their daughter.
"I won't go back." Chun Yushan stood still, her gaze was looking towards the palace gate from afar.At the beginning, because of a painting and calligraphy that she got by accident, she was attached to Tai Sui.Even if he didn't know Qin Ban's appearance, character and age, he yearned to meet this person without hesitation.Until one of her daughters came to this foreign country with her elder brother determined to go her own way.Among so many people, he was different at the first sight.
Qin Ban's appearance is the best she has ever seen.
It is said that beauty is like jade, and she herself is often described as a unparalleled fairy descending to earth.It can be seen that after seeing Qin Ban herself, she knew what it means to be ashamed.He is such a person, he also possesses talent and heart.Among his calligraphy and paintings, the most attractive thing is not the high-level skills.Instead, painting mountains is mountains, and painting water is water.This is very different from the word like.
Although her father and queen dote on her, she is a princess after all.Nanlan's palace is smaller than that of Sui Dynasty.Her daily expectation every year is to be able to go out of the palace to escape the summer heat, go hunting and see the scenery outside.But Qin Ban's calligraphy and painting brought her infinite yearning.
That's the kind of person who dares to promise another person a lifetime of being a couple in front of so many people.If this object is changed to any woman, I am afraid that they are willing to give everything for it.Of course, she felt the same way with men.
She didn't want to just leave, leaving this place where Qin Ban existed.Return to her delicate nest full of warmth and goodness.She wanted to see with her own eyes whether Qin Ban would do what he said, and what would happen to him and the person he loved in the end.What I want to know more is whether Qin Ban will regret rejecting his decision today in the future.
"Brother, I am willing to listen to Emperor Sui's arrangement and marry the third prince as my concubine." She slowly raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes filled with neither sadness nor joy, as if she had seen through something in an instant: "If I Marry him, and after he leaves the mansion and establishes a family, I will be the princess. Although the third prince has no ambitions, he is still a serious prince. We Nan Lan and Da Sui are also in-laws, and the relationship will be closer in the future A few days ago, I overheard my father saying that the tribe in the east intends to rebel, and with the help of Da Sui, it should save a lot of worry."
"Little Dongman, we can handle it ourselves!" Chun Yuchi felt that Chun Yushan's sacrifice was unnecessary.
Chun Yushan turned her head slowly, and said to her imperial brother who always doted on her: "But with the Great Sui, we may not need to spend a single soldier, but with such a name, they dare not act rashly." She She blinked mischievously, and then added: "What's more, I don't want to leave yet, I want to stay here."
"Brother, I can also go to Emperor Sui and ask him to arrange you with the crown prince or the second prince!" At the banquet that day, the second prince of the Sui Dynasty and His Royal Highness the crown prince were both very nice.Only the third prince, hugging left and right, each with a serious look.It's not a good match anyway.
"Brother, the third prince is very good. His Royal Highness is destined to sit in the harem and have three thousand concubines. And the second prince has been fighting on the battlefield all year round and stationed at the border. Could it be that you taught me to stay in the mansion every day and wait for my husband?" Remember my name?" She is a smart person, her father once said that if she is a prince, she must belong to the throne: "What's more, these three princes were married by Emperor Sui, no matter what Anyway, I have the Sui Emperor as my protection. No matter what the Third Prince dares to treat me harshly. So the Third Prince is the best candidate in comparison."
Some things, if you think about it, everything will be easy to handle.
Not long after, during a chat, Qin Ban got the news from Yang Hao that Nan Lan's envoy had left, but Princess Chun Yushan stayed behind.Now lives in the queen's palace.It is said that the auspicious day of the zodiac was chosen to marry the third prince as the concubine.
"She married the third prince?" Qin Ban was also a little surprised by the news.No matter how I think about it, I never thought that the third prince would get a big deal for nothing in the end.
Yang Hao was also a little depressed. Although he didn't have much interest in that princess, what he couldn't understand the most was why this princess stayed and was willing to marry his third brother: "I just learned about it from Brother Huang. Yes, it seems to be what my mother said."
"That's all, it's out of our control, let them go." Qin Ban thought about it and decided not to think about it.Left and right are just unrelated people: "But from this point of view, the third prince loves beauties, so he got what he wanted." He still remembered that when Chun Yushan took off the veil that day, the third prince was almost drooling look.
"That's right, if you have free time, it's better for the prince to ask Liu Ando to discuss the two books of war."
"..." Qin Ban seriously put down the book in his hand, then glanced at Yang Hao and said, "Second prince, it's getting late, you should go back."
"..."

In autumn, the two sides of the Yellow River Basin are not very flat at this time of year.This year's floods are much worse than before, and many people lost their lives.
Although the capital is far away, it has been very busy recently.There are many people who fled along the way, dragging their families with them.The victims were kept out of the city, and they felt pitiful looking at their yellow and emaciated faces, but if they really let them in for a moment, the capital would be in chaos.
Not to mention anything else, fleeing for a long time, without clothes and food, no matter how meek a person is, his eyes will be red because of the most common white flour steamed bun.At that time, if the suppressing force is not in place, not only will the refugees not be saved from fire and water, but the people in the capital will suffer in vain.
A few days ago, Emperor Sui had sent someone to call Master Bao, Shang Shubao of the Ministry of Industry, to control the water at the place where the water was flowing.By the way, let's see why the levee, which was built only last year, was simply washed away this year.Last year, the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated a lot of money to control the floods. On the one hand, it was for the relief of the victims, and more importantly, the Ministry of Industry came up with a new method to improve the previous method of water control by earth blocking.On top of the embankment built of earth, stones were added to form a solid surface.Ramping the inner soil increases the bearing capacity of ordinary soil.Dig ditches around the river to divert the flow.
Logically speaking, although the flood cannot be avoided, the damage cannot be greater than before.
Although the imperial power of the Sui Dynasty was dictatorial, so much money was spent and a lot of trustworthy people were recruited as labor force. Now that this trouble is a waste of people and money, the crime of the emperor's mediocrity has suddenly fallen on the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. It can be said that No responsibility.
The Sui Emperor was furious, and the court issued an order saying that this matter must not be rushed, and the cause must be found out.
Because of the emperor's anger, the court was silent for a while, and all the courtiers did not dare to touch His Majesty's bad luck at this time.
"Qin Shilang, what do you think is the situation?" After the ruling, several officials with good relations and teachings gathered together, full of various speculations about this matter.Qin Ban was also stopped by Zhang Ji from the household department.
Qin Ban turned around and saw that Zhang Ji was the one who hurriedly called to stop him, and smiled slightly. He first pulled his clothes that were not in order because of the wind, and then said: "I can't see that Mr. Zhang usually only stays in the household department and doesn't care about it." Troublesome things, but this time I am so concerned about the Yellow River flood."
He is lazy.When the household department happens to be free, it can’t be idle. If there is something to do, it’s not busy.But this is really a comparison, with Zhang Ji as a comparison, he is really diligent.It's just because at least he would talk about state affairs with the prince when he was free, but Zhang Ji, if you get along with him for a long time, you will find that it is true that as long as he is out of the household affairs, he has no interest.In his words, he has no ambitions.At the beginning, the purpose of taking the exam was to make life better for the family.Being able to be an official in the capital now is a tribute to the ancestors, and there is no higher pursuit.
In fact, what he said was still reserved, and Qin Ban really had to say it.Zhang Ji is just a person who doesn't want to do those dirty things, and doesn't want to belong to any party.It is indeed luck that a person like this can sit in his position.It is more difficult to go online.He can see it too.
Embarrassed by Qin Ban's words, Zhang Ji touched his face, then moved his head slightly to the side implicitly, and said, "Zixian, don't make fun of me." Just now Because of the distance, he just came to court, so in order not to let people gossip, he was called Qin Ban by Qin Shilang.Now that he and Qin Ban are standing close together, they naturally use a more intimate address: "You also know that I am a child from a poor family. My mother used to ask me to study hard, and a woman from a family I moved houses twice. One of them was actually in a place called Niujia Village by the Yellow River Basin.
The husband in Niujia Village took good care of me.Most of my success in this examination is due to the teaching of that gentleman.But then there was a flood and the house was washed away.My mother took me all the way to escape to the suburbs of Beijing and settle down.As for the gentleman from Niujia Village, I also went to look for it later, and I heard that it seemed that the flood caused him to get sick, and he passed away not long after.
Yesterday I passed by the gate of the city, and I couldn't bear to see the refugees who were blocked outside.But also knew it was wise to keep it outside the city.The imperial court didn't just block them out like this, regardless of their life or death, but would send people to send food, clothing and bedding.Looking at them reminds me of my childhood.So it's natural to want to know what's going on. "
Last year, because of the silver issue, the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry had a big quarrel.Their adults said that the Ministry of Industry only opened its mouth and didn't know how to use its brain, and the money it asked for seemed like flowing water for nothing.But Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said that this is a once-and-for-all solution. If their masters disagree, it is because of their short-sightedness.The two almost had a big fight.Fortunately, His Majesty's imperial decree came in time to avoid a disaster.
To put it bluntly, in his own mind, he was on the side of the Ministry of Industry after hearing what the Ministry of Industry suggested.If the people in the basin can no longer suffer from floods because of the hemorrhage this time, that would be a great good deed.
But now, it has only been a year since the dam was built, and instead of being blocked, the flood has grown even bigger.Mr. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry guaranteed with his life that there was no problem with their solution. What's more, in order to prove his words, he rushed to the disaster area in person regardless of the danger.So what is the reason? Is it true that the water this year is so big that the new dams can't stop it?
"So it's like this, I was wrong just now, that brother Zhang shouldn't be joking." Qin Ban didn't expect such a situation, and cupped his hands at Zhang Ji with guilt.His brows were knit together into a beautiful knot, his thin lips were pursed, and he spoke after thinking deeply: "Actually, in my humble opinion, the possibility of this matter being a natural disaster is small, and the possibility of a man-made disaster is higher." .”
He has also been the magistrate of Xiushui for such a long time, and he also knows some of the small minds of officials in those places who are far away from the emperor.In today's area of the Yellow River, when the dam was built, the Ministry of Industry sent a servant to guide it, and then the Ministry of Households transferred the money.No one knows what the real dam will look like.
But since it was His Majesty who made the decision to spend so much money to repair the dam, then the Ministry of Industry must have given enough reasons to persuade His Majesty.The dam may not be as strong as the Ministry of Industry promised, but at least it shouldn't hold back the water for a year.
"Sure enough, Zixian thinks so too!" Zhang Ji had this idea a long time ago, and now he is more confident after hearing Qin Ban's words.The reason why he "doesn't seek to make progress" is because he can't understand those who form cliques for their own personal gain.Now that this incident happened, he even spoke with anger: "The lord of the Ministry of Industry has already rushed over. If something is found out, then Zhou Xiong will be the first to be pushed to the wind! That kind of person is really dead." A hundred times is not enough to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Zhou Xiong was the assistant minister sent by the Ministry of Industry to take charge of the dam construction project.He also controls the money transferred by the imperial court.It can be described as huge power.Now if this matter is really a man-made disaster, it is indeed as Zhang Ji said.
It's just that it's better not to say something too early before the truth comes to light.Otherwise, it is easy to provoke the gun head on yourself.Qin Ban tugged at Zhang Ji's sleeve and said, "Pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't jump to conclusions until the matter is clear."
Zhang Ji is not a stupid person either, and Qin Banyi reminded him that he hid his uncontrollable emotions because he was out of breath.
Liu An had already seen Qin Ban who was being held back, but he didn't go forward and wait by the carriage.Seeing Qin Ban come over now, he was a little unhappy and said, "Why did that Zhang Ji keep you talking for so long? Are you hungry?"
Qin Ban couldn't bear the hunger in the morning, it would be fine if he fell asleep, but as soon as he woke up, he wanted to eat breakfast.This daily courting is just relying on willpower to persevere, and two pieces of pastries will be stuffed in the carriage entering the palace.But Zhang Ji doesn't have any eyesight at all, so he just chats with people, and they talk for so long.After all the people had left, what was the reason for seeing his eyes just now?
Qin Ban enjoys Liu An's caring little appearance the most. He looks like a big and three rough, but he is very painful when he is childish: "Because of the flood, Zhang Ji himself suffered from the flood when he was young, and now he is in his heart. You want to ask me to clarify."
Liu An himself was quite concerned about this matter. Hearing what Qin Ban said, he curled his lips and stopped blaming Zhang Ji.After supporting Qin Ban's hand to send the man into the carriage, he said to Qin Cai, "Hurry up and go home." Then he climbed into the carriage by himself.
"You really are more worried about me starving to death than my mother." Qin Ban said to Liu An amusedly.
Liu An never felt that there was anything wrong with Qin Banhao.Now being teased by Qin Ban is just a sideways look and then generously making Qin Ban laugh enough: "Of course, if my daughter-in-law doesn't love me, who will?"
"..." Qin Ban's smiling and happy face froze suddenly: "Daughter-in-law, what kind of daughter-in-law! Husband!"
"Ah."
"..."
Qin Ban never thought that one day Liu An would become so bad!I don't know who taught it, if he knows it, it will definitely make that person eat and walk around!

Most wealthy families pay attention to not talking when eating or sleeping, but Qin Ban's family doesn't care about these empty etiquettes.In Mrs. Qin's words, both Qin Ban and Qin Wei are very busy people, if they can't even talk while eating, it's true that they won't have much time to talk in a year.
"I see what's the matter with Zhang Ji calling you after the court this morning?" Qin Wei slanted his eyes to the left, and he waited for Qin Ban to take the initiative to tell him, but he waited so long After a long time, Qin Ban has no meaning at all.Since he didn't take the initiative to say it, then he had to ask himself.
A small official like Zhang Ji, Qin Wei, who is in this position, usually doesn't care.It's just because Qin Ban has a good relationship with him, so Qin Wei pays more attention to him.With this attention, I feel that Zhang Ji is a good person both in terms of talent and character.I also thought that if there is a chance, I can help appropriately.After all, young people like him nowadays have been unable to get up because of their poor family background.
Qin Ban originally felt that there was nothing to say, it was just their private speculation.Seeing that his father actually took the initiative to ask, he put his chopsticks aside and said, "It's nothing, I just talked about my views on the destruction of the dam this time. By the way, Dad, I want to go to the outskirts of the city to have a look." .”
He had been thinking about what Zhang Ji said before, seeing the suffering of those fleeing disaster victims.Even if it was sent out to Xiushui before, the people in Xiushui were rich and rich, before it was not his turn to take care of it, and then it was shared before he took care of it.In addition, Xiushui didn't need the capital in the first place, and all the fleeing people wanted to get shelter under the emperor's feet.The few scattered refugees can be solved by relying on what the merchant's family wants to show in front of him.Besides, the disaster victims around Xiushui didn't escape for a long time, far less than those who arrived in the capital.
"Why do you go to the outskirts of the city?" This matter has nothing to do with their Qin family.It's not that Qin Wei doesn't care about the disaster victims, it's just that in this situation, others can't even eat and drink, and suddenly walks up to a well-dressed rich man, it's inevitable that he won't die because of jealousy.If this really happened, no one would say that they cared out of good intentions.
After all, Mrs. Qin is also the mistress of a wealthy family. She has been the mistress of a wealthy family for so many years, and her knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary women.Now she can join in the conversation when the father and son are chatting: "Yes, it's better not to go to that kind of place. What if they get into trouble and don't say anything else, what should I do if I get hurt? ?”
"Mother, Liu An will go with me. It's fine." Qin Ban had already thought that his parents would not agree, so he dragged Liu An along.
In fact, he thinks that with his skills against those ordinary people, at least he can protect himself.But if he brings Liu An, the general, it can be regarded as reassuring his parents.
Qin Ban didn't tell Liu An in advance, so Liu An, who was still eating porridge, was suddenly called and raised his head inexplicably.Then no matter what it was, he glanced at Qin Ban and nodded indiscriminately.
Mrs. Qin couldn't laugh or cry.
In the end, his master couldn't see it, so he reached out and knocked on the head of his stupid apprentice: "You, you still want to lead soldiers to fight like this. I'm afraid as long as Qin Ban said it, you think it's right." ? You won’t hesitate to hit the enemy’s guns!”
"He won't." When Liu An turned his head to look at Qin Ban, the stars that only appeared at night appeared in his eyes, so bright that the whole table felt a little dazzled.
Qin Ban twitched the corner of his mouth, then covered Liu Anliang's excessive eyes with his hand, and said, "That's enough, eat, let's go take a look after dinner."

Even though he was not so happy to be accompanied by Liu An, Mrs. Qin and Qin Wei still did not stop Qin Ban from going to the suburbs.
Qin Ban watched helplessly as even Fu Manfu followed, and one of them brought a dagger for self-defense and sighed, "It's okay, don't act rashly. Our purpose this time is to see those who escaped from famine. What is the situation of the disaster victims, it is not to be an enemy of them."
He also knew that it was because his parents were worried about him, so they must ask Fu Man Fu Quan to take him with him.So even though he only wanted Liu An in his heart, and Qin Cai at most, he didn't refuse to bring Fuman and Fuquan in the end.It's just that looking at this posture is really a bit helpless and a headache.
"Master, don't worry, we all know about it." It is impossible for Fu Manfu Almighty to be a close servant in a rich family like the Qin family.
Fuman looked at Qin Ban's uneasy look and they all found it interesting, and they spoke in a lighter tone: "Madam also asked us to bring a lot of money to the grain store in the north of the city to buy some rice and ask them to cook it. Alright, let’s send it together.”
Most of the refugees came from the north, so they were naturally stopped in the northern suburbs.
"Oh, you're the only one who is clever." Qin Ban always doted on his subordinates, but now he just smiled and knocked Fuman on the head when he was teased, without any intention of blaming him.
The carriage wobbled all the way, and the distance from the city to the northern outskirts was not far, but Qin Ban didn't get off the carriage when he was at the grain store in the north of the city.Instead, he sent Fuman and Qin Cai to buy rice and asked them to make porridge.I sat in the car and waited for the porridge to cook together.
"Master, Master, the shopkeeper of the rice shop said that there are a lot of people fleeing famine this year. He originally wanted to ask him to make the porridge thicker, but the shopkeeper said that would not be enough. Besides, the porridge is not good. Stomach, I asked the shopkeeper to add some rice to make porridge soup, and then asked Fuman to buy a lot of coarse grain pancakes. Although it is not as expensive as white rice, it can resist the stomach.” After a long time, Qin Cai and the others came from Get out of the shop and get back into the car.
Qin Ban was wondering why it took so long for them to go, but now he heard that they did a lot of things.
"Just watch it." Qin Ban suddenly felt that the pastries on the car were not so palatable.Thinking about how the people in the suburbs couldn't even afford to drink porridge, he couldn't eat it even if he was not a person who worried about the country and the people: "Yes, it is good for them to live now as long as they can survive. Where is it? What white rice noodles and brown rice noodles are you looking for?"
I don't know what purpose he came here today, he probably just wanted to see it.
After more than half of the journey, because of the large number of victims, there are more people guarding the city gate than before.Fortunately, it is easy to go out and difficult to get out, and besides, those are all for those poor people.People like them who are riding in a carriage can't be refugees at first glance, so naturally they won't stop them.
I originally thought that the people in the capital would force them to leave here in order not to cause trouble. It stands to reason that everyone should be at the gate of the city except the guards.But Qin Ban and the others actually saw a carriage, followed by a dilapidated flatbed, with a lot of bedding piled up on the flatbed.Not to mention how new and beautiful it is, but at least with these, they don't have to sleep on the ground and take the sky as a blanket.
"Jizhi?" Jizhi was written by Zhang Ji, Qin Ban opened the curtain curiously because Fuman said it outside.He happened to bump into Zhang Ji who also opened the curtain when he heard someone was coming.
Zhang Ji, who was called by name, smiled a little embarrassedly, cupped his hands towards Qin Ban, got out of the car and ran in front of Qin Ban, and said, "I didn't expect you to come, Zixian, maybe it's because this morning Those words I said casually after the court?"
"Living in a temple, one should listen to the words of the people and be loyal to the people. Because I didn't know it before, I thought that the imperial court would take care of these victims who fled from the disaster and they would not be wronged. Now that I have listened to what you said, Of course I was worried and wanted to take a look." Qin Ban also got out of the carriage and followed Zhang Ji to the city gate.
"Actually, to tell you the truth, I also wanted to bring some food. The food provided by the imperial court is limited. Last time I saw a child who was skinny and skinny, gnawing on his hand. I asked him why he gnawed His hands were bleeding from biting.
The child said: "Go back to the adults, because I am hungry."
Zixian, you didn't see that the child's ten fingers are all bumpy.I couldn't bear to give him some money and asked him to buy food.But he said that they can't enter the city now, and no one is willing to exchange food or medicine with him if they have money.He was separated from his parents during the fleeing process, and a grandmother whom he didn't know saw that he was young and pitiful, so she took him with her.But finally, the old and the young arrived in the capital, but the old man fell ill.Now I can only expect the little food from the imperial court every day, and save it to supplement the old man's physical strength, hoping to survive. "
Qin Ban couldn't hear this kind of thing the most. He had never suffered since he was a child, so he couldn't think about what it was like for others to suffer.Now that Zhang Ji had so nakedly cut him open in front of him, he felt unacceptable.
"Then what happened to the old and young couple now?"
Sighing, Zhang Ji said: "I originally asked the boy to invite a doctor, but when I heard that it was to treat these refugees, no doctor dared to come."
"Why?" Qin Ban frowned, it seemed that Zhang Ji would pay the money for such a serious doctor, so why didn't those doctors come to see him?
Liu An took Qin Ban's hand and explained to him: "I'm afraid it's because these victims traveled long distances and still lacked food and clothing. There are many people like this old and young. Those doctors are here, give a person If he is sick, a second and a third will come to him, if they don't show it, the result will probably be the same as eating, right?"
"General Liu is very knowledgeable." Zhang Ji didn't see Liu An holding Qin Ban's hand, only felt that the distance between the two was a bit close.But he is a serious person thinking about marrying a wife to carry on the family line, even if he knew that Qin Ban was different from ordinary people in some things, he didn't think about it in a wrong way.Most importantly, I’m afraid it’s because Liu An is just like what Guo Xin said, he likes women at first glance: “I went to see that day with that child, and I met no less than ten people who were sick along the way. Standing aside, helpless and helpless.
Later, I hid the old man and the child in my car and took them away. Because I was seen by others, many people insisted on grabbing my car and not telling me to leave. "
So this time he left the car inside the city gate.It was because of this that the imperial court did not dare to allow these disaster victims to enter the city easily.Even people like Zhang Ji were blocked outside and had difficulty returning to the city. If these people were really let in, I don't know what troubles would happen.
The scene outside the city was even worse than Qin Ban imagined.Dirty and messy, probably most of these people are good citizens, but in these days when there is not enough food and clothing, only savages are left to be rubbed.
But it is not difficult to understand after thinking about it.There is only so much food distributed by the court every day.Young and strong, there is no guarantee that they will not grab those weak food or things.At this time, no matter whether you are male or female, old or young, no one will sympathize with you when your life is threatened.You can only rely on your own strength to grab it, or at least hold it.This is the essence of living.
As soon as the food Yan Yu called and Zhang Ji's quilt arrived, a group of people rushed forward in such a hurry.You pushed each other, almost causing more injuries due to pushing.If Liu An hadn't been by Qin Ban's side all the time, Qin Ban would have been almost pushed down.In the case of so many people, once they fall, the consequences will be disastrous.
In the end, the few people had no choice but to call the guards who stayed at the city gate to help, and finally sent all the things.
If you want to talk about the entire Sui Dynasty, the one with the most eyeliner must be the Sui Emperor.
Before Qin Bancai broke up with Zhang Ji, he saw Hao Qing's slim figure standing at the door before they reached the door.Seeing Qin Ban, he hurried away
