Crossing the Tang Dynasty to farm

The carriage was sent by everyone, and it moved forward slowly. After half a day, there was a distance away. A Niu lay down and let the beauties feed fruit. Tang Pin sat quietly in the corner and read a book. Looking at the terrain and environment here, I was thinking about how to make this place richer.

A Niu pushed away the beautiful woman lying on the ground, kicked the boy away, and drove them out, letting them go for a walk. The large carriage was quiet, A Niu pulled Tang Pin over, pressed him in his arms, and let out a breath, I was also tired, so I fell down and let myself rest for a while. Last night, Ah Niu played with them all night, drank an unknown amount of wine, and still has a little headache.

Tang Pin leaned on A Niu's arms to read a book, listening to A Niu's steady heartbeat, they were going to other cities, in order to build roads, A Niu had to let himself live the life of a prince, the palace A Niu didn't want to go back, and Tang Pin didn't want to go back. Will not follow, would rather miss A Niu in Fugui Village, Tang Pin will not follow into the palace either.

After walking staggeringly for a day, the carriage came to a place, a small village, still some distance away from the city. A Niu ordered to spend the night here tonight, and then set off tomorrow. The guards found a house , the broken house with only two rooms is the best house in the village. A Niu lived in it directly, and the maid and servants cleaned and tidied up a house that could accommodate people. They all have their own, but the greens have to be found here.

The maid went out to find green vegetables, walked around and came back, and heard the kitchen lady scolding the maid, Tang Pin went out to look, and saw the maid crying with her head down, and the kitchen lady was still scolding, Tang Pin He stepped forward and said, "What's going on?"

"My lord, this girl doesn't work hard and talks nonsense. There are wild vegetables everywhere, but this girl says she can't find them. Isn't this intentional?" The kitchen lady said angrily.

"You said, you can't find wild vegetables here?" Tang Pin asked the maid.

The maid cried and said: "All the wild vegetables here have been dug up, and there are not many people in the village. They are all hungry and skinny villagers. Even if you spend money to buy them, you can't buy them."

Tang Pin's heart sank, and he ran out immediately. A Niu had been paying attention to the situation here. When he saw Tang Pin running out from the window, he got up and chased after him. Tang Pin ran to the center of the village and looked around. The village was originally very big. , it can be seen that the people here used to live a good life, but now they are dilapidated everywhere. Tang Pin is like seeing the scene he saw in Fugui Village when he first came to Datang.

A child ran out from the dilapidated house, pulling Tang Pin's clothes, his eyes were wide open, full of hope for food, the clothes on his body could not be seen intact, and a pair of little feet stood on the ground bare , a few wounds were worn by small stones, still bleeding, Tang Pin took a few deep breaths, turned his head with wet eyes, suddenly felt powerless, powerless to everything in front of him, no matter how hard he tried, he could always When Datang saw such a scene, no matter how hard he tried, he could always see people who starved to death.

If Tang Pin was in Fugui Village, Tang Pin would unconditionally undertake everything here, improve their lives, find a way out for them, find food and money for them, and build a new house for them. In pain, he pulled the child's body away from his clothes, turned around slowly, and walked back, not letting himself look back, Tang Pin is not a saint, not a god who saves the suffering, Tang Pin is just a mortal, a person who doesn't know The mortals who came to Datang for some reason.

A Niu stepped forward silently, hugged Tang Pin in his arms, glanced at the child, and took Tang Pin away. Behind them, there were many heads protruding from the dilapidated house. They were afraid and hopeful Looking at the two of them calmly, the child stood there, staring straight at the back of the two of them leaving, with despair in their eyes.

Tang Pin sat on the bed without saying a word, not daring to look out the window, the voices of the maids could be heard outside the door, talking about everything in the village, the servants would give some food to the people in the village, the kitchen The aunt ran over to A Niu and said, "Your Highness, can I cook some porridge for the people in the village?"

"Don't ask about such trivial matters, you can do whatever you want." A Niu closed the door heavily, and the kitchen lady was not afraid, and happily ran to cook the porridge.

At the time of cloth dragging, all the people in the village came out and waited in line for porridge. A Niu opened the door and glanced at the villagers outside. At the front, I didn't see any old people. Some of them didn't even have bowls, and they were queuing up with leaves.

This village is only one day away from the city. Why is it like this? A Niu stands with his hands behind his back. Saving people is not a matter of a day or two. It would take at least two years to improve their lives, and they couldn't stay in one place for too long, even if they left money, how long could they be saved?How many places like this are there in the Tang Dynasty, and how many officials are thinking about the people, A Niu looks at the sky, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, when will the Tang Dynasty live a peaceful and prosperous life.

At dawn, Ah Niu set off with Tang Pin, leaving some food and silver, which is all they can do now. The people in the village hid in the dark, watching them on the road with their eyes open, waiting for them to go far away , the people in the village ran out and robbed the food and silver. Some went to the city with food, and some went to other directions with silver. Those who couldn’t get there stayed in the village. The desperation in the eyes never disappeared, and the child sat on the ground crying loudly.

Tang Pin buried himself in the quilt and lay down on the carriage to let himself sleep peacefully. Last night, Tang Pin couldn't fall asleep all night. He was thinking about the eyes of children all the time. That kind of desperate eyes should not appear in the eyes of such a young child. Here, they should play around innocently.

After sleeping in a coma for a whole day, Tang Pin woke up at night. He was so hungry that it was already dark outside, and the carriage was still walking, and the guards were walking with torches. A Niu brought dinner and said : "Eat first, I have slept all day."

"Why didn't you stop for the night? It's not safe to travel at night, and it will exhaust everyone." Tang Pin took a few sips of water and cleared his throat.

A Niu's face was not very good-looking, and he took the food and handed it to Tang Pin's mouth, saying: "Time is precious, if we don't hurry, we will starve to death on the road."

Tang Pin was only stunned for a while, and soon realized that he lay down on the window and looked outside. In the dark night, he could only see a little fire behind him from a distance. The faint light clearly indicated that there were people living there. Food is also much less.

Tang Pin muttered: "It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster."

Three days later, they came to the nearest city. The local officials had been waiting at the gate of the city to welcome them. There were many people behind them. The officials gathered around and took them to the residence. Everything was the best. The beautiful young man brought it up immediately. Tang Pin stood at the door with a cold face, asking for money from all the officials who came.

Because they had heard about it a long time ago, they took out the money they had prepared, handed it to Tang Pin with a smile, and secretly bribed Tang Pin with the money to inquire about A Niu's preferences. Tang Pin's eyes were full of disgust.

Ah Niu is still spending time and drinking, and some careful officials found that this prince is very beautiful, but he never sleeps with any beauties or young people. He just drinks flowers and wine, listens to music, and is said to be a man of the Tang Dynasty by his side. ,inseparable.

There are people who are not ashamed of Ah Niu and Tang Pin, standing at the door and yelling at him, the officials will deal with these people quickly, sometimes when Ah Niu is in a good mood, he will meet the people who come to scold him, listen to what they say Want to scold something, and then drag people out and throw them in the mountains.

Tang Pin sometimes wants to cook by himself, and he has to pick the ingredients himself. A Niu will accompany him, walk through the city, go to the farm's field, pick the freshest vegetables, eat the eggs just laid by the farm, and pick the freshest vegetables. The fruit on the tree, along the way, Tang Pin felt cold all the way, A Niu embraced the beautiful woman, flirting with a smile all the way, as if he couldn't see the suffering of the people here.

Tang Pin raised the matter of road repair with the officials, and the officials agreed, and the action was very fast, but it would take a long time for the cement to be transported here, and Ah Niu would not stay for too long, and the road repair was handed over to the officials. They are willing to take over, as long as they are promoted to official positions after the road construction is completed, Ah Niu fully agrees.

Tang Pin said to A Niu when he set off: "I don't want to go to other places anymore, let's go back to Fugui City."

A Niu said: "Should we stop building roads?"

"Stop, it's all people's fat and people's anointing. If you build a section of road, more people will die. The road is built with the flesh and blood of the people." Tang Pin said: "Business can be slow, food is important."

A Niu said: "It doesn't matter if we go back to Fugui City, these things are not our business, the emperor's eyes should see these things, if we see them, it's just a disaster for them."

A Niu took away a lot of silver and treasures, on the way back, A Niu was busy writing, writing down everything he saw, Tang Pin sat aside and said: "Why don't you suggest that the emperor send someone to check secretly, go The whole Tang Dynasty checks, as much as can be found, and it is also doing good things for the people.”

A Niu bowed his head and wrote: "It's a good proposal, but I don't know if the emperor will accept it. If the foreign enemies are not stabilized, the emperor will not dare to make big moves in the Tang Dynasty. It's no problem to chop off the heads of a few officials. If you chop off too many, the general There will be accidents, and if civil strife arises, it will only harm the people."

"Just watch the officials do evil?" Tang Pin said: "Foreign enemies will never be at peace. Does the Tang Dynasty have to live like this?"

A Niu was silent, "pa", the brush in his hand broke in two, and swept the paper in front of him, A Niu fell on the carriage, resting his head with his hands, and answered without words.
