Ten thousand people suspect that the husband and wife are reborn

Getting better and better

On their way back, Lu Ziqian asked Nan Qiqi, "Did I treat your employee too hard? She is also a victim. If his husband-in-law didn't force her, she wouldn't be able to steal things."

"I also think that Xianggong's actions are too kind." Nan Qiqi couldn't help it when she thought of this matter, "If you want me to say, they should all be sent to the government and locked up for theft, not only that, They have to pay us back.”

Lu Ziqian was originally afraid that Nan Qiqi was too kind, and his actions would make Nan Qiqi feel uncomfortable. Now it seems that Nan Qiqi is not a saint at all. , so that it is not easy to be used by bad guys.

Nan Qiqi sighed, but in fact he still felt uncomfortable: "I don't understand why she abused herself like this, was beaten up, and stole things for others. She stole things with great effort, and the purpose was to give men Marrying a concubine, other guys told her before that they could help her reconcile, but she also refused, and she has to be punished for her husband, I don’t know whether to call her pitiful or stupid.”

Lu Qing, who was sitting in the same carriage as them, also nodded, "She is really hopeless, and she said that if there is no man, she will become a lonely ghost after death. Don't you hate men like us? If you don’t get married for the rest of your life, don’t you want to be a lonely ghost? Why do we women depend on men to be lonely ghosts?”

Lu Ziqian was a little surprised when he heard Lu Qing say this. In this age of oppressing women, Lu Qing unexpectedly awakened to the thought that she must be a great person in the future.

Lu Ziqian: "It's not her fault that she has such thoughts, but those men who instilled such thoughts in her. She is stupid, but it's also sad, because this stupidity is also caused by the entire patriarchal society."

Lu Qing was ignorant of what she heard, and concluded that it was all the man's fault, "I will definitely not marry in the future!"

Lu Ziqian persuaded her: "Even if you don't like men, you can enjoy men. I will buy you a good-looking one later."

When Nan Qiqi heard this, she couldn't help but slapped her husband, "What are you talking about!"

Lu Qing herself knows her age. In the past two years, she was malnourished like a ten-year-old child. In the past two years, she has eaten well and dressed well. She looks like she is about fifteen or sixteen. Girls at this age are all married , and even gave birth to children.

But she didn't expect that Lu Ziqian would say such a thing, and she was immediately embarrassed, but when she thought that men can buy women, it would be great if women could also buy men.

Moreover, it was Lu Ziqian who invested in buying her a beautiful one, preferably one that is obedient, which is not bad. She actually had some expectations in her heart, like a child expecting her parents to buy expensive toys for her.

"I heard that many princesses in the previous dynasty would raise some face heads for fun, so Lu Qing shouldn't be hard on herself. If our little fans can't find a good family in the future, let him raise some at home." Lu Ziqian often said nothing. Adapting to this era, I seldom talk to women, and when I talk to Lu Qing, I lose sense of proportion.

Besides, his family's little fan is a brother. In this era, there are many constraints on his brother, and he can't even be a regular wife. He will never let his children suffer.

Could it be that if he doesn't get married, his children will be monks in this life?Brother also has the right to enjoy happiness, why should those happiness be given by men?Their children just want what they want, and if they want beautiful men, it is not impossible to just buy a few back.

But I'm afraid that the little fan's body will not be able to bear it, so I just buy one, and I will change it for him when he feels bad and wants to change it.

But he still hopes that no matter whether it is Lu Qing or his family's little fans, they can meet a true love, just like him and Nan Qiqi, who like each other and can support each other and go on together.

Nan Qiqi couldn't help pinching him, "Our child is still young, don't say such things!"

Lu Ziqian hurriedly begged for mercy, "Stop talking, stop talking."

A few days later, another big event happened, not the Lu family's big event, but the flood in the south, the local officials embezzled the disaster relief funds, and many people died of starvation.

A group of people wanted to come out to find food by themselves. The officials were afraid that they would go to the capital to sue the imperial court, so they stopped and killed many of them, but a large number of people still ran out and went to the capital.

It's just that before they entered the capital, the emperor ordered them to be stopped outside the city.

With so many refugees, the emperor was afraid that they would cause harm if they came in. If the mobs rushed into the palace again, his life would be lost.

The emperor would rather kill these people than let them enter the city.

But even though the emperor thought so, he couldn't say that. Instead, he asked people to build some thatched huts outside the city for them to live in, and gave them porridge every day.

He also said that he would ask about their grievances and avenge them.

But the flood is not over yet, even if the emperor sends officials to go there, it will take time, and they will not even think about redressing their grievances for a year or so, let alone return to their homes.

After hearing this, Nan Qiqi said to her husband, "Let's donate some food and supplies to them too. They are too pitiful. They must be exhausted after running all the way here."

Lu Ziqian also had this intention, and he also brought a few doctors and supplies out of the city to treat these victims.

After they went out of the city, they saw that the victims were arranged in thatched huts, lingering like animals, and felt even more uncomfortable.

These people ran all the way here. They didn't have enough food or clothing to keep them warm. They got sick and died a lot. The rest of them were all skinny, with exhaustion written all over their faces. They had no strength at all. The emperor was worried about the riots It is impossible to happen at all, they are afraid that they will almost lose the strength to walk.

There are also many officials who go out of the city to donate supplies, but there are also many people who come to fish in troubled waters, wanting to pick some good-looking girls to buy back home, or buy some at a low price to go back as servants.

Although the emperor gave them porridge every day, the officials at all levels withdrew a lot of it, and the porridge in their hands almost turned into water. They couldn't eat enough and couldn't wear warm clothes. It was no better than when they were fleeing. where to go.

They had no hope for life, so they offered to sell their bodies, hoping to have something to eat, clothes to cover their bodies, and a house to live in.

When Lu Ziqian and Nan Qiqi went outside the city, they happened to see a fat old man negotiating the price with a five or sixty-year-old woman, but what they wanted to buy was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

The young girl was skinny and skinny, but her big eyes were watery, and she could be seen as a beauty. One could imagine the old man's purpose for buying her.

Lu Ziqian thought in his heart that he was a beast, he would not let such a small child go, but if he didn't buy people back, these people would also starve to death here.

Lu Ziqian went over and asked the price.

The woman heard Lu Ziqian asking the price, and saw that Lu Ziqian was better dressed than the old man.

Moreover, Lu Ziqian was young and handsome, if the price was reasonable, she would naturally hope that her daughter would go to Lu Ziqian's side.

She said the price: "Two sacks of potatoes."

Nan Qiqi on the side gasped when he heard the price. Potatoes are being grown all over the country right now, and the price is extremely low. These two bags of potatoes only cost thirty to fifty cents, and such a maid would have to buy seven or eight taels in the city. silver.

All they were given were potatoes, not even food, so it looked like they were taking advantage of the fire.

However, when the old man saw Lu Ziqian coming to ask the price, he thought that Lu Ziqian was here to rob someone, so he said unwillingly, "I came first."

Lu Ziqian: "I'll pay two qian, is there anyone else in your family? If you want to come, you can too."

The old man scolded him for disrupting the price when he heard about two cents of silver. Here are two sacks of potatoes, or half a sack of corn, how could he give so much.

Lu Ziqian didn't bother to tell him, he revealed his identity, he was an official, and that old man was a businessman, so naturally he didn't dare to fight with Lu Ziqian, so he left resentfully.

"I can also sell it for two renminbi?" The woman asked incredulously, "But I can't sell it. I still have a man and a son. I have to stay and take care of them."

"Why did you only sell your daughter?" Lu Qing couldn't help asking her.

The woman said: "There is no way. My son is officially growing up and eating a lot. No one wants to buy it. If I can sell him too and let him go back to eat with a good family, I can sell him right away." gone."

"So it's like this." Lu Qingxin said that she had misunderstood, and she stood back behind Nan Qiqi.

Lu Ziqian said: "I want all of your family. I'm not buying you, I'm hiring you. You adults get two dollars a month, and children get one dollar a month. Would you like it?"

"Yes!" The woman thought she was hallucinating, but even if it was hallucination, she would agree immediately.

They were talking loudly here, and soon other people gathered around and asked Lu Ziqian if he wanted someone else, and they could too!

Lu Ziqian was afraid that Nan Qiqi would be crowded by them, so he hurriedly asked Lu Qing to lead Nan Qiqi to stand a little further away, and then he called the officers and soldiers nearby to help maintain order.

When the officers and soldiers learned that he was an official, they were naturally willing to step forward to help, but they kindly reminded Lu Ziqian that they could not take so many people away in one go.

Previously, the top buyers could at most bring one or two people into Beijing, and they brought them secretly. The guards turned a blind eye, but it would be difficult to handle if there were too many people.

"Don't worry, if you don't bring it into the city, you will take it to Zhuangzi outside my city." Lu Ziqian said to those who rushed up: "Line up, and as many people as you want, if anyone doesn't line up, then be the first to take it." He was ruled out."

As soon as he said this, everyone quickly lined up, but they all looked forward anxiously, for fear that Lu Ziqian's words would not count.

Lu Ziqian asked the servants around him to order some people, and at the end of the count, there were 300 people.

However, among the 300 people, there were old, weak, sick and disabled. The servant asked Lu Ziqian if he wanted to remove them all. Lu Ziqian shook his head and said no, and took them all away.

Lu Ziqian and Nan Qiqi got into the carriage and told anyone who wanted to come to follow them.

Those people had been hungry for several days and had no strength. Lu Ziqian was afraid that they would not be able to keep up, so he set his speed at full speed, and asked the two servants he brought to give each of them a pancake.

Nan Qiqi looked out from the car window, the team was mighty, "Master, are you taking them to the fan factory?"

Lu Ziqian nodded, "I'm worrying that there is no one, which can be regarded as alleviating my troubles. They can also eat enough and have a place to live. It kills two birds with one stone."

Nan Qiqi looked at them pitifully, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but want to cry.

Lu Ziqian hugged him, "Don't cry, their life will be better, not only them, everyone's life will be better in the future."

Nan Qiqi believed in Xianggong. Before that, Xianggong spread the method of terraced fields, which increased the food production in various places and lowered the price of food. Many people could eat rice. Later, he spread the method of potatoes and corn, those novel vegetables If you don't give out the seeds, don't spread the planting method, and just keep it in your own hands, you can make a lot of money.

But Lu Ziqian chose to donate money and effort to send seeds and books to teach planting in various villages. His husband-in-law has already made this world better and better.
