I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

All the servants of the Imperial City Division are good. Without Tang Xuan in charge, they still manage things beautifully.

The result was even more surprising than Simon expected——

The pro-obedient officials not only found out the tricks behind the ruts, but also found the batch of grain that was "burned"!

Xu was inspired by the hot pot restaurant. Nowadays, the Imperial City Secretary must draw pictures when doing things, and draw the investigation process and results on paper. It is not very detailed, but it is better at a glance.

"As the Xiaodong family estimated, the mature corn was not burned, but someone cut it away overnight and hid it in an underground kiln thirty miles east of Da'an Temple. The only thing that was actually burned was the straw!"

As calm as Lin Zhen, it is rare to show excitement. That is food, life-saving food for thousands of people!

Si Nan took the drawing papers, looked at them one by one, and beat the table excitedly, as long as the food wasn't wasted!

As long as the food is still there, he has the confidence to grab it back!

However, there is still a question: "Although it is an exaggeration to say that those lands are ten thousand hectares, they are actually quite a lot. Even if the officers and soldiers come to collect them, it will take some time. How did they manage to mow them away overnight?"

Mentioning this, Lin Zhen's face was not very good, and he hummed: "It's just self-stealing."

This is related to the local "Baojia system". Pushing forward 50 years, this place was originally the place where the Xiang army settled. Etc., level-by-level management.

If someone buys these "management managers" and recruits young men with relatives and relatives, and promises benefits, it will not be difficult to cut off these corns overnight.

"However, there is something a little strange." Lin Zhendao, "When I took people to find the place where the grain was stored secretly, I heard the farmers who guarded the kiln say that I don't know who took the lead that night to bring the old, weak, and sick people in the village. All the remnants shouted..."

Si Nan frowned, "This means that the people 'above' originally didn't intend to control those common people."

Lin Zhen nodded.

Sinan punched the table again.

This time it was angry.

How insidious is the man behind the scenes!

They actually took thousands of human lives as rafts!

Lin Zhen asked: "According to Xiaodong's orders, I only left someone to guard near the underground kiln. I didn't startle the snake. What should I do next?"

"Get the grain as soon as possible. If the corn is collected before it is dried, it will either become moldy or germinate after a long time, which is no different from being burned."

Si Nan paused and said, "Send a letter to the county king. If he doesn't come back within three days, we will act on our own."

It was useless for three days, Tang Xuan returned to Luoyang the next day after receiving the letter.

He arrived in the evening, and caught up with a rain on the way, his hair was sticking wet to the side of his face, and the hem of his clothes was also splashed with dense mud spots.It was the first time that King Yan, who had always been handsome and decent, was so slovenly.

Si Nan pushed him into the bathroom, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is the official family okay?"

"It's not good." Tang Xuan said in a heavy tone, "Compared with fame, the officials care more about the thousands of people outside Luoyang City."

He took Si Nan's hand and said, "Fortunately, I have you...the official said, thank you very much."

Si Nan grinned, "Where are we going? Let's give the official another big gift. If we can do it, the old man will recover."

Tang Xuan looked at him steadily, and said seriously: "Brother Nan, I want to thank you too."

Thank you for sending such a quick-acting heart-relief pill when the officials are in a hurry.

Si Nan clicked his tongue and pushed him into the tub, "You're welcome! Hurry up, the water will get cold if you don't take a bath."

Tang Xuan paused, "You...won't you go out?"

Si Nan raised his eyebrows, "What are you afraid of? Can I still defile you?"

Tang Xuan smiled, "I can't ask for it."

Beautiful you!

Si Nan rolled his eyes, ran to the corner of the wall, sat down cross-legged, and just guarded him, chattering to him about what happened these days.

He misses him.

Even when he was taking a bath, he was reluctant to go out, and wanted to guard him like this, even if he said some unnutritive words.

In Tang Xuan's ears, it was enough to soothe the anxiety and exhaustion of the journey.He moved the water lightly, not wanting to miss a word.

Tang Xuan hadn't shaved for several days, and there was a blue layer on his chin, which was very painful.

Si Nan pressed him on the bed and scraped him with a small knife, as if wiping the wall, "Be honest, for the first time in my life, my hands are not steady."

Tang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Leave it to you."

Si Nan's hands trembled, "Don't talk, close your eyes."

With a smile on his face, Tang Xuan traced the boy's facial features from bottom to top, clearly imprinting them inch by inch, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Just like that, I fell asleep peacefully.

Sinan moved lightly and breathed lightly, as if he was treating a fine jade carving, scraping gently, bit by bit.

I don't know how long it took before he completed the first "shave service" in his life, and carefully wiped off the fine hair on Tang Xuan's face with a damp and hot cloth towel, and then he gave up.

Sinan tapped Tang Xuan's Guangjie chin with his hand, and snorted, "It's cheap for you, brother has never served others like this when he grows up."

After humming, he took off his clothes and nestled into his arms.

Also slept peacefully.

***

When his own man came back, Sinan's arrogant little arrogance swished out.

His grandpa's!

Squeeze those bastards to death!

Isn't it clamoring "the king has no way"?

Brother Nan wants to let the people in Luoyang know what is the most benevolent king in the ages!

The hot pot restaurant organized a big giveaway for members, free flow of various juices, and more people entered the store.

There is not only hot pot to eat, but also burlesque performances.

Sinan put up a big sign outside the hot pot restaurant: "Bao Yushi and Ouyang Hanlin both agreed to see the funny show!"

Bao Zheng is now serving as Yushi Zhongcheng, and he is the big blue sky in the hearts of the people; Ouyang Xiu advocates "Writing can convey Tao", and has a high reputation among literati and students.

It is much more useful to use the two of them as an advertisement than to say "foreign guests say it is good after seeing it"!

The people of Song Dynasty are proud!

There are upright officials and great sages in this country, so they don't take foreign guests seriously.

At first, the guests didn't have any expectations. They always thought that a small hot pot restaurant, what good show can there be?

Unexpectedly, it was really fragrant on the first day.

Die Lian Huasheng is so glamorous that even wearing men's clothes can't hide the charm of her whole body.She didn't want to hide it either, showing off her charm generously.

Wu Zixu was drooling and eating dry vinegar, wishing he could drive all the men and women out of the shop.

If we say that at first everyone came for Die Lianhua's face, after watching, they were attracted by her exquisite and interesting performance.

A short play only takes two cups of tea, which made everyone laugh constantly.After laughing, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it turns out that the official family is like this!

——Die Lianhua performed the part of "Officials Refuse to Eat Mussels" that Si Nan made up at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

A few more paragraphs were added later, all of which are examples of officials governing with benevolence and virtue.

The play was edited by Si Nan staying up all night, trying to make it light and humorous, occasionally including some rural slang, just in line with the tastes of the common people.

These things are only recorded in the daily records, in order to leave a name behind, but the common people nowadays may not know it.

Sinan boldly asked Die Lianhua to perform it in order to refute the nonsense of "the king has no way" recently promoted by Qianlong Sect.

good results.

After the performance of Die Lianhua, the diners still felt unsatisfactory, and they were still discussing enthusiastically when they left the hot pot restaurant.

Just acting in a hotpot restaurant wasn't enough, Sinan transcribed his lines, asked someone to print several copies, and distributed them for free to all the tiles in Luoyang City.

In addition to comic plays, there are story books, history lectures, rap songs...

Sinan was extremely grateful for the "artistic cells" left to him by the original body, which came in handy at critical moments.

Sinan is the master of "inside", and Tang Xuan is the master of "outside".

The latter's enthusiasm was not limited to the small city of Luoyang. He asked people to print various plays compiled by Sinan in the residence newspaper and sent them to various prefectures, prefectures, and counties.

The official just happened to almost fall back to the dragon bed when he heard the news.

Blatantly wanting to praise, the dragon's face has become longer!

Officials from all over the country are very happy. Compared with those stupid emperors who increase taxes and collect "auspiciousness" at every turn, how kind are they!

This flattery is so artistic!

In just a few days, the benevolence of the officials spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luoyang amid the laughter of the audience, and then swept across the Song Dynasty like a gust of wind.

You have no way?

To your ancestors!

Only fools believe it!

In the first round, Sinan completely won.

As for the "warning from heaven", it would be better to say, just hold a few "debating matches" in the academy teahouse.

What?Is the destruction of farmland by sky fire a warning from heaven?

Pull it down!

God has the virtue of good life, but whoever has a bit of spirituality has to protect the people, how can he be willing to use the livelihood of thousands of people to warn a senseless and stupid king?

Those who make use of the people in this way will definitely not be the gods who love virtue, but the ghosts of evil.

Since it is a ghost, is the "no way" it said really no way?

It just... makes perfect sense.

It's like a revelation.

Even street children have learned: "Heaven treats the people as well as the officials, so it will not send fire to the farmland to warn the officials! Those who do this must be ghosts!"

In the second round, Sinan won the game.

What's worse is yet to come.

Da'an Temple took advantage of this opportunity to recruit refugees, not out of good intentions, but to take advantage of the opportunity to recruit troops and strengthen Qianlong Sect.

——Tang Xuan has already found out that Da'an Temple was the hiding place of Quan Dao back then, and it was the lair of Qianlong Cult.

Sinan immediately sent out a recruitment notice to compete with Da'an Temple.

Recruitment!

Both men and women, old and young!

Delivery staff, waiters, foremen, shop managers, big and small managers, all types of work, look forward to your joining!

Our treatment is:

Board and lodging included!

The wages are settled every ten days!

Send rice and meat in three festivals a year!

Double the wages for three years!

……

The government servants beat the gong and went to the villages and streets to make a big publicity.

Especially in Da'an Temple, the guards followed Si Nan's instructions, and the content of their shouting was very targeted.

"Baijia rice, incense rice, is not as good as your own coarse grain rice; drinking porridge and eating steamed buns, it is better to make money quickly!"

"One day to eat, one day less, I don't know when it will be over; if you have today, you won't have it tomorrow, go out and find a way out!"

"Si's Hot Pot Restaurant is recruiting workers, men, women and children alike!"

"Go and have a look, go and have a look, come in and send a big vegetable ball, if you don't go, you won't go!"

After shouting continuously for three days, someone finally couldn't stand it any longer, and sneaked out of the monastery to try their luck at a hot pot restaurant, and never went back after touching it.

Where there is the first, there is the second, and one after another, the shacks in the courtyard of Da’an Temple are getting fewer and fewer, and the people are almost gone.

Someone reported this to the police, but the higher-ups didn't take it seriously, "Everyone, old and young, leave as soon as they leave, and save food! I'd like to see if the surname Si can afford it!"

The opponent's provocation, Sinan, has received it, and it's time to release the ultimate move.

It was a sunny day, and the people returned to the ruined farmland, digging the soil and watering it, preparing for the next season's sowing.

Turning over and over, someone squatted on the ridge of the field and cried loudly.

I can't even afford the seeds, so how do I plant them in this land?

Suddenly there was a long howl from the sky, and the earth trembled faintly. Tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers seemed to descend from the sky and appeared in the fields.

What they hold in their hands are not swords, guns and halberds, but bags of seeds and baskets of corn.

The leading general said solemnly: "The officials are sympathetic to the victims of the disaster in Luoyang, and they ordered me to come and distribute the food! The food will be distributed according to the number of acres, and two people will be sent to each household. Come and pick up the food as soon as you hear the name!"

The common people were all dumbfounded. They listened blankly to the roll call of the guards and got the corn and wheat seeds in a daze. They felt inexplicably...

This weight is like what it deserves in its own land.

This basket looks familiar too...

It doesn't look familiar, it was originally theirs.

Tang Xuan took people to the cellar where the Qianlong Sect stored grain, and the little head of the door was knocked out and shut up, quietly finishing the matter.

To put it bluntly, it was stolen.

The night is dark and the wind is high, secretly.

In order not to cause a big disturbance, Tang Xuan listened to Si Nan's suggestion and went down the donkey to make the people think that the corn was a gift from the court.

Of course, this good reputation cannot be borne in vain, and the wheat seeds are really given away for nothing.

The day before, the opponent was still proud of his clever trick, and thousands of baskets of corn disappeared overnight!Just as they were stomping their feet anxiously, they saw the corn that they had "hardly" cut all night appearing in the hands of the imperial army.

So what if you see it?

Can you still rush up and grab it back?

Let all the people know the immoral things they do?

Grit your teeth and endure!

Now, it was the thief's turn to vomit blood.

The people are happy.

Simon was also happy.

He came up with the idea, and it was Di Yong and Huaishu's soldiers who carried it out.

The locust tree is fine, after all, it was taught by Si Nan, and his stomach has long been blackened by the soup from Si's small courtyard.

Di Yong's face was black from beginning to end.

Commander of the Forbidden Army!

After the famous family!

Steal food in the middle of the night!

People clerk?

He looked at Si Nan coolly, gritted his teeth, and said, "This is going to get out, how can I be your brother?"

Si Nan smiled and said, "Second brother, don't you just trust you? If you leave it to someone else, if you let the historians or censors know, where will the officials lose face?"

Di Yong sneered: "Yes, officials want face, but being your brother doesn't."

"Heaven knows this, you know it, I know it, I know it, it knows Xiaoxuanxuan's, even your soldiers thought they were going to the official treasury to move food last night, no one will tell, so don't worry!"

Wide ass!

Di Yong nodded at him from the air, "You are the only one who can think of this bad move."

Simon: I'm proud!

He is indeed something to be proud of.

The people were so desperate just now, they were so surprised at this time, they all turned towards Bianjing, kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and knelt down to thank Long En.

They were grateful to the officials, and also to Tang Xuan and others who distributed the food. Looking at the tearful eyes of the farmers, everyone felt that everything was worth it.

Huaishu brought a letter to Sinan, which was written by Yu Sanniang, "Sanniang asked me to hand it to my brother, so that no one can see it."

Suspiciously, Si Nan tore open the extremely sticky envelope, and pulled out the letter paper inside.A thin sheet with a few lines written on it.

Si Nan's pupils shrank——

Bai Ye is not dead!

At the same time, Qianlong taught.

Bai Ye threw everything he could at his hand, and his face was distorted with anger: "That little bastard! Back then, he shouldn't have been soft-hearted and spared his life!"

He was wrong.

Si Nan is different from Si Xu, he is more difficult than Si Xu!

A middle-aged man stood by, his eyebrows lowered, his face showed no surprise, he was obviously used to it.

It wasn't until Bai Ye had vented his anger that he cautiously said, "My lord, have you ever thought about why Sinan and King Yanjun came to Luoyang suddenly and still oppose us everywhere?"

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Why else? Someone must have sent him a letter!"

The middle-aged man was still not surprised, and said: "That person... will the Lord still want to stay?"

"Do you think I want to stay? If she didn't want to die, I would have killed him [-] times!" Bai Ye said angrily, "Stupid woman, one day I will let her see the situation clearly!"

The middle-aged man lowered his head and said no more.

On the other side, the underground secret room of Da'an Temple.

A man dressed as a monk held a medicine bowl and fed it to the person on the bed in a leisurely manner.

It was a beautiful woman, perhaps her face was slightly pale after lying in bed for too long, but her eyebrows and eyes looked more delicate and picturesque.

Si Xuwen said softly, "Whatever I say, he can do it."

The woman pursed her lips, as if to blame, and as if to be coquettish, but the smile in her eyes was like a pool of spring water, vivid and clear.

"Little Spoon is great, better than us!"
