rushing a fool to farm

Brother Chu only looked at Zheng San, and a group of thieves who could get up hurriedly got up and ran away, and dragged away the brothers who couldn't get up.Zheng San lowered his head and searched for a long time, and finally found all the snacks and medicinal materials he bought, and the lost money was one less.

"Ahem, Brother Zheng, are you really okay?" Brother Chu's illness is still not healed, and his face is burning red.

Zheng Sandao: "I'm fine. Chu Qing, it's thanks to you this time, otherwise this group of robbers would have succeeded. You are not recovering from your illness, so go back and lie down. I will clean up the yard and cook for you later Boil medicine. Look, I bought you walnuts and sugar cakes."

Zheng San handed him the packet containing walnuts and white sugar cake, and said, "Eat slowly, and sleep for a while when you're tired, and I'll wake you up to eat when I'm done."

Brother Chu took the burden, two red clouds appeared on his face, and whispered: "Brother Zheng, you are so kind to me."

Zheng San turned to look at him, and said, "It's nothing, you go and rest."

Little brother Chu doesn't get sick easily, but he will be sick for several days when he gets sick.

This time it's all right, the labor force can't work, and Zheng San, the secondary labor force, still has to take care of him. In addition to the troubles of the past few days, Zheng San's land has not been sown yet.It is sad that the first batch of seeds sown have sprouted, but most of the ground has not yet been planted.

Zheng San was in a hurry, but he was not in the mood, and neither he nor brother Chu could go to work.

After a few more days like this, Chu Qing finally recovered completely, and Zheng San went to the field with him, and the two of them planted seeds in the field one after the other.

Brother Chu just recovered from his serious illness, and he no longer has the mood to say "Brother Zheng, I like you" anytime and anywhere, and Zheng San's mood has also calmed down a lot, and he is no longer highly nervous.

Zheng San has heard rumors these days that the king of Chu appointed Wu Qi to reform the law and changed the country's laws a lot, reducing the benefits of the old nobles and weakening the power of the monarch.Zheng San felt that he was just a mere farmer, so no matter how he changed, he still had to farm, right?Unexpectedly, this reform would actually involve him.

Brother Chu's illness just happened, Zheng San couldn't bear to ask him to work more, and the sun was getting brighter at noon recently, so he and Brother Chu went home early.Zheng San was afraid that he would get tired and sick again after working too much.Zheng San smelled something unusual today. As soon as he got home, there were two soldiers in military uniforms standing at the door of his house.

"Are you the owner of this house?" a soldier asked.

Zheng San nodded blankly: "You two military masters, what's the matter? Do you need to go into the house to talk?"

"No need, we will leave after asking here. There are two people in your family, Zheng San and Chu Qing?"

Zheng San nodded immediately and said, "Yes."

"Your family has a total of [-] mu of land, and it's past the spring planting time, but you only planted [-] mu, right?"

Zheng San thought about it carefully for a while, nodded again, and said, "Yes, there are too many things to do this spring, and it has been delayed. I haven't counted how many I have planted, but I guess it is similar to Jun Ye's calculation."

The two soldiers looked at each other and said: "Then please come with us." After saying that, they led Zheng San and Chu Qing away.

Zheng San's mind was dizzy, and he didn't know what the two of them were going to do.He asked, "Master Jun, where are you taking us?"

The two soldier masters didn't explain, just said: "You don't need to ask, you'll know when you arrive."

Zheng San never expected that he would end up in prison just like that.It wasn't until the cell door closed with a "bang" that he realized that he was in prison.Zheng San stared at the prison door in a daze, not knowing how to react for a while.However, there are quite a lot of people in the prison, and many familiar people are also among them.For example, Mr. Qi who never goes out and Fatty Xu who is all fat.

Most of the people in the prison didn't know why they came in, and many people who realized it were clamoring to get out.The prison chief in the county was annoyed by the noise, and said impatiently: "What is the noise? Don't you know? There is a decree prohibiting ordinary people from idleness and farming. You lazy people, you should reflect on yourself in the prison. Work hard after you go back. Are you so careless, worthy of the country and your parents?"

Zheng San was dumbfounded, it turned out that being lazy and not working was breaking the law.

"Did you make a mistake? Military Lord, it's illegal to be lazy?"

"That's right, I'd rather starve to death than work..."

The prison was boiling, and the "lazy men" were excited and quarreling.Zheng San knew that some of them were really lazy, and some like him and Chu Qing were caught in by accident.

Brother Chu stared blankly at Zheng San, and said, "Brother Zheng, I'm so hungry, it's time for lunch at this time of weekdays."

Zheng San said helplessly: "Chu Qing, just bear with it, today is different from the past, we are in prison now, I can't cook for you." Zheng San touched his bosom for a while, and said: "I I collected two doughnuts inside, eat one quietly, don't let others see."

Zheng San looked around, guessing that there will be no food in this prison for a while, there are so many hungry ghosts, the two of them eating here will definitely starve the others to death.Sure enough, until dusk, the cell boss alone distributed a bowl of porridge and a bread.More and more people were locked in the prison one after another, and it couldn't be filled at dusk.Zheng San and Chu Qing slept in the prison overnight, and were driven elsewhere the next day.

Little brother Chu was starving, Zheng San cautiously asked the leading military master: "Mr. Jun...we...we're not going to be beheaded, are we?"

After hearing Zheng San's words, Xiao Bing was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Haha, you lazy people, are you afraid when you hear that you are going to be beheaded? Who told you not to work hard on weekdays."

Zheng San nodded quickly, admitting that it was not.

Xiaobing saw that Zheng San was very gentle and reasonable, so he said truthfully: "Brother, I think you and your younger brother are both very gentle and good-looking, so why are you so lazy? Don't worry, you won't be punished. Decapitation is just taking you to the big prison in the capital right now. You have lived in the small prison in Yiling before, but it is already full and cannot accommodate so many people."

Zheng San nodded, and asked again: "Then when will we be released? My land...hasn't been planted yet..."

Xiao Bing looked at Zheng San contemptuously, and said, "Don't use this as an excuse. All the people locked up here are lazy. They are used to being lazy on weekdays. No one will believe that they want to be more diligent. As for when to release them, we will let them go." I don’t know, it depends on the orders above.”

Zheng San saw that there was nothing to ask, so he stopped asking.They walked with the team for a day, and with a bang, they were thrown into prison again.Zheng San was so impatient, if he was locked up like this, he really wouldn't have to farm.

"Chu Qing, what do you think should be done? I don't know if sending some money to those military masters can settle the matter. If you want to send money, how much should you give?... We are all locked in prison , how to send money to others..."

Zheng San turned around and whispered to Chu Qing: "Chu Qing, otherwise, let's take some money and ask the military master to go to your house for help. After your family gives the money, we may be able to go out. After going out , I’ll give you my share of the ransom money.”

Chu Qing said: "Brother Zheng, you are really a smart person, I will do as you please, but I am very hungry now..."

"Brother Guancha, we are so hungry, didn't we say that we want to send food? Why is there no food at this time?"

Familiar voices reached Zheng San and Chu Qing's ears. Zheng San turned his head and saw a man and a woman squatting in the opposite cell, complaining.They are familiar with these two people, they are Chu Qing's parents.

Zheng San's eyes darkened, it's over, who will save the innocent him?

The author has something to say: the third update today!

I recommend a documentary "800 Years of Chu State" to everyone, which is very good.The seventh episode "Reform" in it is about Wu Qi's reform.

It's a joy to put idle people in prison and cause the prison to be overcrowded, haha
