[Comprehensive] I have a money tree
Chapter 80
Akira Ueda's life is divided into before the age of 16 and after the age of 16, because when he met Tamiko Yamaguchi, he was 16 years old.His father died when he was two years old, and his mother took him to remarry. After that, he lived a life of reincarnation every day, being beaten, running away, going home, being beaten, running away, going home.The mother is a housewife and has no ability to survive. The only thing she can do is wait to be beaten, and then hug him and cry with her body covered in injuries.
Akira Ueda thought at that time, whoever can take him and his mother out of this hell-like home, then his life will be his, and then he met Yamaguchi Yuko.The day he met Yuko Yamaguchi, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, stole the money from the family, and wanted to run away with his mother, wherever he wanted to go, he was 16 years old and could support his mother, even if he died, he didn't want to die there house.
The stepfather who came home suddenly, looked at their broken hands, how could he not know what they wanted to do, Akira Ueda picked up a chair and smashed it on the man's head, pushed his mother away, and led the man to flee all the way, hoping to attract him The attention, so that the mother can be more safe, when running away, I panicked and ran into a dead end.The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and Zhang Ueda felt at that time that he should die here today.
At the end of the alley there were a few discarded wooden sticks. When Akira Ueda rushed over with the wooden sticks and was about to fight to the death, a 16-year-old boy who couldn’t get enough to eat and was beaten every day, how could an adult man be as strong as a man with a weapon in his hand? It was snatched away, the man didn't even need to look for a weapon, and he slammed on Akira Ueda with all his strength. The only thing the boy could do was to curl his head on the ground as he did every time he was beaten, but this time he What he thought was not that when he was tired from playing, it would be fine, but that when he was tired from playing, his chance would come.
Akira Ueda's □ was the day that redeemed him and brought him from hell to a paradise that he couldn't even imagine.
That year, Rinto Yamaguchi was only 17 years old. Jin Jiyu had just come to this world not long ago. She watched the scene of the destruction of the world, which had not been removed from her mind. It was pleasing to the eye, the laughing crowd on the side of the road was not pleasing to the eye, and the so-called parents swaying in front of her were not pleasing to the eye. At that time, Jin Jiyu thought about ruining the world every day.
When she met Akira Ueda, she just discovered that Rin Yamaguchi could be used in the second phase of the middle school, and when she took the other party to patrol and was about to become their first site, she was attracted by Zhang Ueda's monstrous hatred. When she entered the alley, she and Rinto Yamaguchi were on the side of the alley. The young man who ran away in a hurry had more hatred on his face than fear.
Jin Jiyu was attracted, and stood at the entrance of the alley and watched the boy's horrific struggle from rising up to resisting to being beaten. At that time, Rin Yamaguchi returned to the second grade, but the young man's blood and strange sense of justice were not lacking at all.Rinto Yamaguchi tried to stop him several times but was organized by Jin Jiyu until Akira Ueda found an opportunity to stab the man's thigh with a sharpened pencil, and Jin Jiyu moved. This kind of person is what she wanted. If you have hatred but no brains, then don't waste your time.
Jin Jiyu contributed a knife in friendship, and handed it to Zhang Ueda, who was pressed to the ground again and almost couldn't stand up after being beaten, and encouraged him with a smile. Some hatred had to be resolved by himself, so that he could step on the terrified corpse and go smoothly. Step into a sunny paradise.
Twenty minutes later, Akira Ueda, whose hands were covered in blood and left his broken and bloody corpse, walked out of the alley, walked to Jin Jiyu's car, and bent down deeply.Two days later, he became a classmate of Yamaguchi Rinto, and two months later, with his insidious cunning and daring to do anything, he became the famous wild fox on the road, the most powerful assistant of Yamaguchi Rinto's subordinates.
Apart from the necessary contact, Zhang Ueda rarely appeared in front of Jin Jiyu, and he had an unknown thought in his heart, which made him dare not approach that person.That person was too dazzling, too brilliant, and he was too filthy. He was afraid that his filthy self would be discovered, and his disgusting thoughts would be seen.Compared with Jin Jiyu, he followed Rinto Yamaguchi more. He knew who he was doing everything for and how much Jin Jiyu did behind the scenes. However, he just couldn't forget that day. In that dark alley, the person who smiled at him illuminated the entire sky.
Later, Rinto Yamaguchi left, his mother left because of old injuries on his body, and his light also left, and he could no longer find his habitat in Japan.But he became more and more courageous, and his attacks became more and more fierce, because he wanted to protect this place and wait for the return of the master.
Akira Ueda stared blankly at Rinto Yamaguchi. It seemed like it was yesterday that they laughed together. I didn't expect that one day this crying guy would be able to do it without hesitation. No, it seems that he would have known it a long time ago. When it would be, he couldn't remember.
"You really don't plan to talk to me until you die." Rinto Yamaguchi patted the wound on Akashi Ueda's abdomen with a dagger, and more blood leaked from the slap "You said that I was lucky enough to come from Tokyo to find you Reminiscing about the old days, why don't you want to obediently stand by my side like before?"
"Ah, I was wrong. You have been standing beside Yuzi, the most loyal dog, right?" Rinto Yamaguchi watched Akira Ueda breathe intermittently, his mouth opened and closed to vomit blood, and the fragility in his eyes flashed and changed again. It became a hippie smile, "You are really capable, I thought you were the only one standing by my side, but I didn't expect that I misunderstood."
The chattering voice sounded again, as if the accident just now hadn't happened, but this time, there was no more sake, no more jade, and only one of the two people in the room remained.
Akira Ueda used his last breath to say "Rinren... Remember to offer incense to... Mom... I'll wait... you" raised the corners of his lips and wanted to show a smiling face to his brothers who have been there for many years, and the last one should be a smile or not His face froze there, his eyes stared straight at the door, he didn't know whether it was guilt or hope, what a pity, he didn't wait for his king, he was so useless.
Rinto Yamaguchi put his hand on Akashi Ueda's artery to confirm for 1 minute, the corners of his raised mouth drooped, his eyes that were not smiling at first seemed to be a little foggy now, he stood up, stepped over his body, and picked up the sake on the ground The bottle, sitting cross-legged next to the still warm body, holding the forearm with one hand, pouring the wine bottle with the other, pouring the last bit of wine on the ground, sitting there quietly.
A gust of wind blew by, and the wind chimes under the eaves rang softly. In this quiet courtyard where only one person could be heard breathing, a hoarse voice sounded, "I left so many tails, even the driver who sent me here, It's yours, you said, it's because I didn't express it clearly enough, or you... Just wait for this day, wait for me to kill you with my own hands."
"Those old men knelt in front of Yuzi one by one, wagging their tails faster than anyone else. When I was a little aggressive, I was frightened. Why are you so stubborn? Yuzi asked me if I could use you. Of course I can. You, we have been together for so many years, you will pass me the knife when you kill someone, and you will let me go first when you deal with the aftermath, and I will show you my first girlfriend first, and you have even saved my name twice."
"You always say that you are standing by my side because of Yuzi, but compared to Yuzi, you have been following me, right? You are good at everything. You are the only brother in my life. I believe in my father more than I do. You. However, people are greedy. You know that I have been timid since I was a child. I'm so scared that I don't even feel safe when I sleep."
"Why don't you want to go, Marui said, Yuzi asked you to go with her, why don't you want to? Do you want to guard this place for her? But she gave it to me with her own hands. Why don't you go, Zhang? I have given you so many opportunities, why are you unwilling to leave?"
"When I left Japan, I felt that this place didn't belong to me. I didn't expect that I was wrong. You don't know, Yuzi has always looked down on the Yamaguchi family. She doesn't like you, and she doesn't like me. Isn't it strange? She was the one who put me on this path in the first place.”
"Now think about it, we have been talking about Yuzi, right? We talk about Yuzi when you are alive, and we still talk about Yuzi when you are dead. You said, we both met you that day, why did you choose Yuzi? Obviously that knife was handed to Yuzi from my hand, because I'm not handsome enough?"
"Don't wait, you go first, I might catch up with you much later. You probably won't recognize me when I'm seventy or eighty. I won the bet this time, and I won't lose the rest of the way. Yuzi has changed, and the change made me dare to be more ambitious, to try to see if I can sit firmly in that seat. I will move my mother to a seat, and let you accompany her."
Rinto Yamaguchi closed his eyes, let the cold wind take away the water stains on his face, raised his hand to close those eyes that were struggling to open, put the wine bottle next to his head, stood upright with the floor on his back, step by step "Go well, Zhang." From then on, Japan belonged to Rin Yamaguchi.
In the winter of 2010, after Rinto Yamaguchi took over as the head of the family, he aggressively ruled out dissidents. Every day in Japan, we could see another fight on TV. The congressman Hideto Ogawa, who has been openly supporting the Yamaguchi-gumi, lurked abnormally and did not publish anything. any public remarks.
In the third year of Hongyao's reign, the capital of Qiao State, Xizhou.
As the state capital under the rule of Qilin, the people of Xizhou can say that everything goes well in the past two years. They don’t have to worry about not having enough food or monsters. This kind of life is almost like living in a dream. In the past, even dreaming Maybe such a beautiful day just appeared in front of their eyes.In Xizhou, it is almost impossible to see people without smiles.
On the edge of Aoshuang City, an ox cart with a thatched roof slowly parked at the gate of the city and lined up. They were not going to enter the city, but to go to the grain store by the gate. The current King Gong is a benevolent king praised by everyone. It is one of her benevolent policies.Grain stations across the country are established in the prefectural capitals of the prefectures to provide free food to the common people. As long as they are skilled people, adults can come here to receive 50 catties of grain every month, and those under ten and over [-] years old can receive [-] catties of grain.
The only trouble is that you need to pick it up yourself, not lead it.Some villages that are far away have to rush to Fucheng.However, compared to two years ago, when we were wandering and could not even have enough to eat, this little road is a trivial matter, and everyone should praise the Lord is a benevolent king.In today's Qiao Kingdom, even if you say a bad word about King Gong, you may be scolded by someone who is angry and pointing at the spine.
6-year-old Rouli leaned in her mother's arms, yawned big, looked up at the long queue and complained, "I've been waiting for a long time today, when can we get in?"
"This is a good thing. As more and more people represent our country, the line at the grain station will get longer and longer." Xiaoyue touched her daughter's head, "When you grow up, maybe you don't have to go ahead Set off from home on the seventh day, and by then there may be a grain store in the village."
Rouli's eyes lit up, it's great to be able to go to the state capital, but she has been here many times, and the carriage has only a thatched roof, and the surroundings are not sheltered from the wind. In autumn and winter, it is cold to go out "Really? Then When is it? We won’t be using it then?”
"The lord issued a decree. Didn't he show you the notice outside the food station last month, and you forgot about it~" Xiaoyue poked her daughter's head. "The lord is building a new food station. In the future, not only the state The government has it, and other cities can have it, and when the food supply in the city runs well, it will be built in the countryside."
The little girl shrank her head back, avoiding the hands on her head, with doubts on her face, "Chunyan said, his grandfather said at home, this is impossible, the food in the treasury can't support such consumption at all, we are done eating It's gone."
What is the national treasury and what is consumed? Rouli actually didn’t understand, but she knew what it means to eat up. When they were young, they often had nothing to eat. Their father gave her the last bite of food, and they starved to death on the road. There is plenty to eat.She always remembered the feeling of hunger, and she was very afraid, as Chunyan said, that one day they ate all the food, and there was nothing to eat again. She was so scared that she ate desperately for a few days, and her stomach hurt, and then she couldn't hold on. Just gave up.
Xiaoyue frowned, and was about to reprimand her not to talk nonsense, when the person standing beside the carriage interrupted suddenly, a man taller than her dead husband by a head, pointed at them and laughed loudly like a bell, The person attracted by the voice said loudly, "Listen, the little girl is worried about our grain storage. The Lord has always made good government orders. I come from Liuzhou and plan to travel around the country. In the past, there were often floods in our place. The previous wrong king always wanted to dig ditches. The diversion of water was not completed until his death, but it only took half a year for the master to do it, and there was no conscripting of corvees, so the decree issued by the master will definitely be realized."
The crowd who were only chatting quietly with the people around them, because of his words, joined in one after another. Originally, at the end of the month, the people who came to line up at the end of the month were all villagers who were a little far away. Those who lived nearby had already Received.The more rural the place is, the deeper the feeling for the new king's decree. Those who can enter the prefecture are people from some families, but they will not regard the monthly food as a life-saving grace.
An old man dressed in sackcloth looked at the man who spoke disapprovingly, "How can the wrong king be compared with the Lord, if it weren't for him, the Emperor of Heaven would not have left the throne of Qiao King empty for 20 years, Nor will my family of seven be buried in the loess, leaving me alone. He is a rebellious sinner, and he is not worthy of being king at all!"
"I think that the wrong king has done a good thing anyway. If it weren't for him, the Lord would not have become the King of Gong." A student wearing a cloth crown seemed to find it funny after speaking, and looked at the crowd cheerfully, waiting When others agreed, they turned their heads and were sprayed all over the face.
"Bah! You said it as if we still have to thank him. I don't think you have suffered!"
"I don't know where I've read the book because I'm still a student, but I can say such a thing!"
"In the past, the wrong king devoted himself to supporting these people with taxes. It is because of them that we don't even have food to live on!"
"When the monsters came, you must have never been out of a school, so you can stand and talk like this without back pain!"
"I don't think you are from Qiaoguo at all, otherwise how could you say such a thing!"
"Yes! He must not be a clever person. Some time ago, some people said that many people used the coupons of dead people to claim food. He is not a good person at first sight!"
Clothed in indigo, holding a grain bag in his hand, he looks like a frail scholar, so he is labeled as 'not looking like a good person', and flees in a hurry after being ridiculed by the restless crowd. Slow down, maybe you will be thrown stones by angry people.
Qian Shu, who was wearing a hood to cover up his hair color, looked at the scholar a little bit unbearably, thinking about what he said just now, sighed softly, and turned to look at the people around him, "My lord also felt that what the man just said was a bit Doesn't it please you?"
"What?" Jin Jiyu was stunned for a moment, followed Qianshu's gaze, looked at the scholar, and said with a chuckle, "It's just a sentence, and he didn't say anything wrong. If the wrong king didn't lose his way, Qiao Kingdom wouldn't have you." , Qianshu is not here, so naturally there will be no such thing as me, the King of Gong."
Jin Jiyu looked across the crowd at the old man who said that there was only one family of seven left, and asked Hong Kuo who was following behind him, "There should be one convenience store every mile now. Such an old man who is alone should be taken care of by the convenience store. How did he come to the grain store?" Come to get food?"
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, all unlucky things have been experienced in 20 years in Qiaoguo, not to mention corpses strewn all over the fields. There are many such cases where there are only widowed old people and unaccompanied young children left in the family. Their means of survival are very limited. Established in the state capital, it is not easy to rush to the state capital from the countryside.There are no monsters in Qiao Country, but there is no shortage of wild beasts in the mountains and forests, so it is not safe to travel all the way.
Compared with the food stations that only exist in the state capital, the convenience stations are the top priority in the early stage. Jin Jiyu spends more on the convenience stations than the food stations.Now the old man is not from Fucheng at first glance, and he came from the surrounding area to get the food, which means that there are conveniences for the people and he has not done what he should do.
Hong Kuo didn't think it was surprising, and replied meaningfully, "Food can be exchanged for meat, and there will be no problem of harsh treatment in convenience stores. It's just that there are not many people raising poultry and animals, and the taste may be a bit bland." Even if he said Everyone has food to eat, but there are still people who want to eat not only grains, but also meat.People are greedy and needy, food and clothing are the basics, the problem of survival is solved, of course they want to live a better life.
Jin Jiyu understood what he meant, but he didn't take his overtones seriously but didn't take it seriously. If it wasn't for pleasure, human beings wouldn't have groups. The reason why society can develop is because people want more than what is in front of them , but also to try not have had.
"Tell the magistrate that we can provide some subsidies to the people who raise livestock." The magistrate is in charge of population and household registration, and field hunting and livestock are also under his jurisdiction. Jin Jiyu turned around and remounted the beast, but she ignored it. Of course she was full. Just want to eat meat, except for the unicorn, all creatures come from the wood in the eternal life, and those who want livestock can pray under the tree that is specially born for animals. This is really asexual reproduction.
Qian Shu drove the beast to follow Jin Jiyu, Hong Kuo took a step behind, and stared at the people in line before following them.Renjun, this title may not be a good thing, my lord.The life of the people is only a few decades, they are small and short-sighted, they only see the things in front of them, they are the most easily forgotten group of people.The disaster has passed and the earth has recovered. I don't know if the benevolent government praised by everyone can last until the day when these people have evil thoughts.
Hong Kuo looked at the king and Qilin in front of him, and remembered the day when that man, standing on the high royal platform in front of the courtiers, gave the first pardon.The king who abolished the death penalty as his first amnesty, and the king who governed the country with benevolence, did not know if he had noticed that the number of people who starved to death in Qiaoguo was indeed decreasing year by year, but the cases of theft and robbery were also increasing.The King of Gong is kind and compassionate, and his actions are effective. There are more and more lenient sentences now. This is not a good thing.I hope that the current King Gong can stay on the throne for a longer time, so that he can arrange it properly. It is indeed a troublesome thing to have an empty throne.
Jin Jiyu didn't know what her Zhong Zai was thinking, but probably even if she knew, she wouldn't take it seriously.Of course she has seen an increase in gray cases, but in her opinion, it is not so much because of the sentencing, which makes the people feel that the cost of crime is not high, so if they take risks, it is better because the population of Qiaoguo has increased, and everyone has started to commit crimes. rich.
Once upon a time, there were only less than 25 people in Qiaoguo, including officials from all over the country, and soldiers from the state marquis, and it was not unheard of that the head of a town ruled only a hundred people.At that time, the cost of crime was lower and the crime rate was not high.Because everyone has nothing to eat and is struggling to survive, there are not a few people who are willing to work hard for a morsel of food.
Only three years have passed now, the floating people have returned, and the newborn population has increased. Most of the people in the peaceful era want to live in peace and do not want to make troubles at will.As the population increases, there will be more good people, and the bad people will naturally increase in the same proportion. Those increased cases just prove this.
As for the first amnesty that shocked the Twelve Kingdoms, even Shanglong Komatsu and Yoko Nakajima advised her to think twice, even more so.In a country that has not had many people for a long time, instead of continuing to implement the death penalty, it is better to let them bear the corvee that should have been placed on the people.What's more, Jin Jiyu doesn't like to let a life disappear in this world.
At the beginning, the person who questioned the King of Yan in front of Shanglong Komatsu, how could it be possible to make the Kingdom of Yan prosperous for 500 years by governing the country with benevolence, now wants to implement this goal with actions, which seems to be a very far-fetched goal, and blindly believes that as long as If she finds the right way, she can definitely do it.The Son of Heaven is the shepherd, and what the people seek for the sheep is good, not evil.
In the fifth year of Hongyao, the population of Qiaoguo finally reached 50. The cracked land was watered by years of rain and turned into arable land again. I see hope.
When Le Jun heard that King Gong came to the throne, he planned to return to his hometown. He was born in Qiao Country and grew up in Qiao Country. There is his mother's cemetery there, which is also his home.It's just that at that time, he was already an official under Yangzi's rule, and he couldn't quickly put aside the matter in hand. Not only King Jing, but also his friend Yangzi, also tried to persuade him to stay several times, so it took five years , back home.
Originally, Le Jun planned to relinquish his status as a fairy and go to Qiao Country again as a half-beast, but Yangzi felt that there was no need for that. She could wait for Le Jun to settle down in Qiao Country and directly transfer his household registration to Qiao Country.Yang Zi, who has always regarded Le Jun as a close friend, actually still holds the idea that after Le Jun has been to Qiaoguo, he is still willing to come back, although the hope is not great.
Half-beasts are existences between humans and beasts, and can be converted between human and animal forms. Cuo Wang himself hates existences that are different from ordinary people, such as fetuses, such as half-beasts.Also because of the king's dislike, Qiaoguo used to discriminate against half-beasts. They were not allowed to be officials, they were not allowed to go to school, and they were not allowed to use half-beasts in positions with even a slight professional title.
But compared to human form, Le Jun prefers to be in animal form, which is more comfortable and also his original appearance.Moreover, he had read the letters between King Gong and Yangzi of the Qiao Kingdom, and he didn't think that the benevolent king would mind the existence of a half-beast among his officials.Le Jun didn't expect that before he was sure about King Gong's attitude, he saw the change in the villagers' attitude towards the half-beast.
Le Jun, who was sitting in the courtyard, looked at the person who led the way for him, and trotted all the way to find the chief, feeling a little dazed. In the past, when they encountered half-beasts, most of them looked at him with evasive or disgusted eyes, rather than hearing him. He is a person returning to his hometown, so he was immediately taken into the prison. None of the things he encountered along the way surprised him more than this change, especially when the person sitting in front of him and invited him to drink tea Li Chang, when it was someone he knew.
Wearing a sky blue robe, a pair of peach blossom eyes, full beard, the part not covered by the beard looks like a handsome scholar, but the eyes look like a rough man.The seemingly uncoordinated Li Chang recognized Le Jun almost as soon as he saw him, and bowed his hands to salute him. When he raised his head, he looked at him half with memory and half with joy, "I didn't expect that we would still be able to see him." See you, Le Jun, how have you been all these years?"
"May I ask who you are?" Le Jun raised his little paw and scratched his head a little helplessly. He really didn't remember who the person in front of him was. He shouldn't easily forget such a special appearance.
Li Chang was taken aback for a moment, then let out a chuckle, it was even more strange to match his appearance, he raised his hand to cover his beard, raised his eyebrows and looked angry, his voice deliberately became thinner, "You half-beast ! It’s all because of you, and I will be ridiculed by the people in the school! You are not allowed to go to the school tomorrow!”
"Hey, half-beast, your family is so poor, you can still grow up so big, did you steal food somewhere?"
"Half beast, take my ball here, whoever let you be there, you deserve it if you hit it!"
"Half-beast, I heard that you were kicked out of the school?"
"Half beast..."
Time seems to go back to the old days, strange environment, strange people suddenly became familiar, Le Jun took a careful look at Li Chang, and asked uncertainly, "Guang Yu?" Someone who took pleasure in bullying him since childhood?
Guangyu immediately put down his hand, and pulled him to sit on the chair, "Remember? We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. I didn't expect you to have changed a bit." He raised his hand and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Le Jun, "Did I It's changed so much that you can't remember clearly?"
"Let me tell you, I actually don't want to be like this, but you also know that I used to look like a little girl, and was always teased by those people, and then I simply started to grow a beard. After my beard came out, I looked handsome and mighty." Quite a lot." Guang Yu turned happily to Le Jun, showing him his beard.
Le Jun was a little dazed for a while, the person who saw his disdainful face at the beginning now had joy in his eyes, as if he really met a childhood playmate, and wanted to share with him the changes in each other over the years.
People who show up with the old time will inevitably have some privileges, especially when the other party is the only living object in childhood memory.Guang Yu, who has been the head of the family for four years, saw that Le Jun didn't answer the words for a moment, and the smile on his face was slightly restrained, showing a trace of embarrassment. Standing up from the chair, he cupped his hands to salute.
"You don't need to do that." Le Jun said quickly, stretching out his paws, which were too short, trying to drag his hand, but didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.It's all a thing of childhood, and it's long gone now.
Guangyu looked at him as if he really didn't care, put down his hands, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. The noisy and noisy past years were all in this smile, and the wind drifted away, leaving only the familiar figure.Talked about the past without embarrassment, Le Jun was going to visit his mother's grave, Guangyu got up quickly, took him out, and said that he should also go to burn incense.
Le Jun followed Guangyu, looking at the few people around, he was a little puzzled and asked the head of the village, "It's the time of spring plowing, why are there no people in the field?" There are not many people in Qiaoguo, but At this time, even if there are only fifty people in the village, they should all be busy with spring plowing. If the world is deserted and there is no food, this is a big deal for the people.
"The Lord is benevolent. People in the village have food to support them. It's okay to go to the field later. The dew in the morning is too heavy. It's very uncomfortable to go out to work. It's the same as doing it in the afternoon." Guangyu said indifferently .
However, Le Jun's heart trembled. He knew the policy of the Food Institute. Back then in the Qing Kingdom, many people said that this was an unprecedented benevolent government. I don't know how much the government and the opposition praised it, but some people were worried. The burden on the country is too heavy, and many things will be dragged down by this policy.A country has a lot of money. In a farming society like Changshi, food is equivalent to money and is hard currency.Building bridges and laying soil, national construction, and even the salaries of officials and the food and grass in the army all require money. If it is given to one side, other things must be reduced, which may not be a good thing in the long run.
However, King Gong has carried out this policy for five years, and there has been no trouble in Qiaoguo. Those people back then were said to be worrying unfoundedly.Le Jun is the latter.It's just that he didn't expect that the princes didn't have any objections to the king, but the people who had benefited from it were using their own actions to prove that the grain supply could no longer continue.People no longer think about the land, no longer pay attention to the harvest, and sooner or later this country will have problems.
"I remember that in February, King Gong issued a government decree. After the beginning of next year, only the old and the weak can continue to receive grain. In this way, what will happen when the land is desolate and taxed?" Le Jun restrained his mind and thought When planning to return to the motherland, King Gong should have the right method for the information he consulted, otherwise he would not have issued this order.
Guangyu nodded to greet a villager, and replied casually, "I also think it's a bit troublesome, but I can't force them to go to the field. It's wrong. However, it shouldn't be a big problem. The rations will definitely allow everyone to live a good life, which is much better than previous years."
"Besides, there are a lot of old and weak people in the village. If it doesn't work, you can go to Limu to ask for a child. The rations of [-] catties per month until the age of ten will be given by the food department. There are too few people in the country. We have to Just work hard." Guang Yu turned his head to look at Le Jun, as if he wanted to appease him, "You just came back, maybe you don't know very well, the current lord is a very kind lord, if we really have a bad life, we can Write to ask for help, the Lord can always solve it for us.”
The worry in Le Jun’s heart was not appeased at all, but he became more and more worried, “If one day there is not enough food, and people need help, but everyone can’t get it, what should we do? Next year, the food supply will be limited. In a few years, will the grain store be completely banned?" Le Jun, including all people outside Qiaoguo, does not think that this grain store will always exist, it is only for emergency, the country does not Maybe you have been raising people for nothing. The country has raised you, and of course you have to feed back the country.
Guangyu, who watched Qiaoguo become like this little by little, told him with a smile on his face, "You think too much, Le Jun. If there is such a day, the Lord will have a way, he I will not watch people fall into this situation."
"The restriction of the grain store is only a temporary thing. It is normal that the food is not enough for five years, but at the end of the year, the autumn harvest will be harvested, and the food will increase again. The decree of the Lord is only to store more food. When there is enough, it will naturally come back Back to the beginning. At most, it would take two or three years. At the beginning, the fields were barren for 20 years. Isn’t all the production enough to feed us for five years? Now the weather is good, and it will be done soon.”
Le Jun looked at Guangyu in surprise, he said these words as a village head, or as a Qiaomin, these words, these words!Did he mean that all the harvest of King Gong should support the people?Even if not this year or next year, should we continue to support them in the year after?this. . . "Then what if the grain store is no longer open? There will always be other places in the country that need money, so what should we do then?"
Guangyu turned around and looked at him in surprise, "Isn't that something the Lord wants to solve?"
Akira Ueda thought at that time, whoever can take him and his mother out of this hell-like home, then his life will be his, and then he met Yamaguchi Yuko.The day he met Yuko Yamaguchi, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, stole the money from the family, and wanted to run away with his mother, wherever he wanted to go, he was 16 years old and could support his mother, even if he died, he didn't want to die there house.
The stepfather who came home suddenly, looked at their broken hands, how could he not know what they wanted to do, Akira Ueda picked up a chair and smashed it on the man's head, pushed his mother away, and led the man to flee all the way, hoping to attract him The attention, so that the mother can be more safe, when running away, I panicked and ran into a dead end.The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and Zhang Ueda felt at that time that he should die here today.
At the end of the alley there were a few discarded wooden sticks. When Akira Ueda rushed over with the wooden sticks and was about to fight to the death, a 16-year-old boy who couldn’t get enough to eat and was beaten every day, how could an adult man be as strong as a man with a weapon in his hand? It was snatched away, the man didn't even need to look for a weapon, and he slammed on Akira Ueda with all his strength. The only thing the boy could do was to curl his head on the ground as he did every time he was beaten, but this time he What he thought was not that when he was tired from playing, it would be fine, but that when he was tired from playing, his chance would come.
Akira Ueda's □ was the day that redeemed him and brought him from hell to a paradise that he couldn't even imagine.
That year, Rinto Yamaguchi was only 17 years old. Jin Jiyu had just come to this world not long ago. She watched the scene of the destruction of the world, which had not been removed from her mind. It was pleasing to the eye, the laughing crowd on the side of the road was not pleasing to the eye, and the so-called parents swaying in front of her were not pleasing to the eye. At that time, Jin Jiyu thought about ruining the world every day.
When she met Akira Ueda, she just discovered that Rin Yamaguchi could be used in the second phase of the middle school, and when she took the other party to patrol and was about to become their first site, she was attracted by Zhang Ueda's monstrous hatred. When she entered the alley, she and Rinto Yamaguchi were on the side of the alley. The young man who ran away in a hurry had more hatred on his face than fear.
Jin Jiyu was attracted, and stood at the entrance of the alley and watched the boy's horrific struggle from rising up to resisting to being beaten. At that time, Rin Yamaguchi returned to the second grade, but the young man's blood and strange sense of justice were not lacking at all.Rinto Yamaguchi tried to stop him several times but was organized by Jin Jiyu until Akira Ueda found an opportunity to stab the man's thigh with a sharpened pencil, and Jin Jiyu moved. This kind of person is what she wanted. If you have hatred but no brains, then don't waste your time.
Jin Jiyu contributed a knife in friendship, and handed it to Zhang Ueda, who was pressed to the ground again and almost couldn't stand up after being beaten, and encouraged him with a smile. Some hatred had to be resolved by himself, so that he could step on the terrified corpse and go smoothly. Step into a sunny paradise.
Twenty minutes later, Akira Ueda, whose hands were covered in blood and left his broken and bloody corpse, walked out of the alley, walked to Jin Jiyu's car, and bent down deeply.Two days later, he became a classmate of Yamaguchi Rinto, and two months later, with his insidious cunning and daring to do anything, he became the famous wild fox on the road, the most powerful assistant of Yamaguchi Rinto's subordinates.
Apart from the necessary contact, Zhang Ueda rarely appeared in front of Jin Jiyu, and he had an unknown thought in his heart, which made him dare not approach that person.That person was too dazzling, too brilliant, and he was too filthy. He was afraid that his filthy self would be discovered, and his disgusting thoughts would be seen.Compared with Jin Jiyu, he followed Rinto Yamaguchi more. He knew who he was doing everything for and how much Jin Jiyu did behind the scenes. However, he just couldn't forget that day. In that dark alley, the person who smiled at him illuminated the entire sky.
Later, Rinto Yamaguchi left, his mother left because of old injuries on his body, and his light also left, and he could no longer find his habitat in Japan.But he became more and more courageous, and his attacks became more and more fierce, because he wanted to protect this place and wait for the return of the master.
Akira Ueda stared blankly at Rinto Yamaguchi. It seemed like it was yesterday that they laughed together. I didn't expect that one day this crying guy would be able to do it without hesitation. No, it seems that he would have known it a long time ago. When it would be, he couldn't remember.
"You really don't plan to talk to me until you die." Rinto Yamaguchi patted the wound on Akashi Ueda's abdomen with a dagger, and more blood leaked from the slap "You said that I was lucky enough to come from Tokyo to find you Reminiscing about the old days, why don't you want to obediently stand by my side like before?"
"Ah, I was wrong. You have been standing beside Yuzi, the most loyal dog, right?" Rinto Yamaguchi watched Akira Ueda breathe intermittently, his mouth opened and closed to vomit blood, and the fragility in his eyes flashed and changed again. It became a hippie smile, "You are really capable, I thought you were the only one standing by my side, but I didn't expect that I misunderstood."
The chattering voice sounded again, as if the accident just now hadn't happened, but this time, there was no more sake, no more jade, and only one of the two people in the room remained.
Akira Ueda used his last breath to say "Rinren... Remember to offer incense to... Mom... I'll wait... you" raised the corners of his lips and wanted to show a smiling face to his brothers who have been there for many years, and the last one should be a smile or not His face froze there, his eyes stared straight at the door, he didn't know whether it was guilt or hope, what a pity, he didn't wait for his king, he was so useless.
Rinto Yamaguchi put his hand on Akashi Ueda's artery to confirm for 1 minute, the corners of his raised mouth drooped, his eyes that were not smiling at first seemed to be a little foggy now, he stood up, stepped over his body, and picked up the sake on the ground The bottle, sitting cross-legged next to the still warm body, holding the forearm with one hand, pouring the wine bottle with the other, pouring the last bit of wine on the ground, sitting there quietly.
A gust of wind blew by, and the wind chimes under the eaves rang softly. In this quiet courtyard where only one person could be heard breathing, a hoarse voice sounded, "I left so many tails, even the driver who sent me here, It's yours, you said, it's because I didn't express it clearly enough, or you... Just wait for this day, wait for me to kill you with my own hands."
"Those old men knelt in front of Yuzi one by one, wagging their tails faster than anyone else. When I was a little aggressive, I was frightened. Why are you so stubborn? Yuzi asked me if I could use you. Of course I can. You, we have been together for so many years, you will pass me the knife when you kill someone, and you will let me go first when you deal with the aftermath, and I will show you my first girlfriend first, and you have even saved my name twice."
"You always say that you are standing by my side because of Yuzi, but compared to Yuzi, you have been following me, right? You are good at everything. You are the only brother in my life. I believe in my father more than I do. You. However, people are greedy. You know that I have been timid since I was a child. I'm so scared that I don't even feel safe when I sleep."
"Why don't you want to go, Marui said, Yuzi asked you to go with her, why don't you want to? Do you want to guard this place for her? But she gave it to me with her own hands. Why don't you go, Zhang? I have given you so many opportunities, why are you unwilling to leave?"
"When I left Japan, I felt that this place didn't belong to me. I didn't expect that I was wrong. You don't know, Yuzi has always looked down on the Yamaguchi family. She doesn't like you, and she doesn't like me. Isn't it strange? She was the one who put me on this path in the first place.”
"Now think about it, we have been talking about Yuzi, right? We talk about Yuzi when you are alive, and we still talk about Yuzi when you are dead. You said, we both met you that day, why did you choose Yuzi? Obviously that knife was handed to Yuzi from my hand, because I'm not handsome enough?"
"Don't wait, you go first, I might catch up with you much later. You probably won't recognize me when I'm seventy or eighty. I won the bet this time, and I won't lose the rest of the way. Yuzi has changed, and the change made me dare to be more ambitious, to try to see if I can sit firmly in that seat. I will move my mother to a seat, and let you accompany her."
Rinto Yamaguchi closed his eyes, let the cold wind take away the water stains on his face, raised his hand to close those eyes that were struggling to open, put the wine bottle next to his head, stood upright with the floor on his back, step by step "Go well, Zhang." From then on, Japan belonged to Rin Yamaguchi.
In the winter of 2010, after Rinto Yamaguchi took over as the head of the family, he aggressively ruled out dissidents. Every day in Japan, we could see another fight on TV. The congressman Hideto Ogawa, who has been openly supporting the Yamaguchi-gumi, lurked abnormally and did not publish anything. any public remarks.
In the third year of Hongyao's reign, the capital of Qiao State, Xizhou.
As the state capital under the rule of Qilin, the people of Xizhou can say that everything goes well in the past two years. They don’t have to worry about not having enough food or monsters. This kind of life is almost like living in a dream. In the past, even dreaming Maybe such a beautiful day just appeared in front of their eyes.In Xizhou, it is almost impossible to see people without smiles.
On the edge of Aoshuang City, an ox cart with a thatched roof slowly parked at the gate of the city and lined up. They were not going to enter the city, but to go to the grain store by the gate. The current King Gong is a benevolent king praised by everyone. It is one of her benevolent policies.Grain stations across the country are established in the prefectural capitals of the prefectures to provide free food to the common people. As long as they are skilled people, adults can come here to receive 50 catties of grain every month, and those under ten and over [-] years old can receive [-] catties of grain.
The only trouble is that you need to pick it up yourself, not lead it.Some villages that are far away have to rush to Fucheng.However, compared to two years ago, when we were wandering and could not even have enough to eat, this little road is a trivial matter, and everyone should praise the Lord is a benevolent king.In today's Qiao Kingdom, even if you say a bad word about King Gong, you may be scolded by someone who is angry and pointing at the spine.
6-year-old Rouli leaned in her mother's arms, yawned big, looked up at the long queue and complained, "I've been waiting for a long time today, when can we get in?"
"This is a good thing. As more and more people represent our country, the line at the grain station will get longer and longer." Xiaoyue touched her daughter's head, "When you grow up, maybe you don't have to go ahead Set off from home on the seventh day, and by then there may be a grain store in the village."
Rouli's eyes lit up, it's great to be able to go to the state capital, but she has been here many times, and the carriage has only a thatched roof, and the surroundings are not sheltered from the wind. In autumn and winter, it is cold to go out "Really? Then When is it? We won’t be using it then?”
"The lord issued a decree. Didn't he show you the notice outside the food station last month, and you forgot about it~" Xiaoyue poked her daughter's head. "The lord is building a new food station. In the future, not only the state The government has it, and other cities can have it, and when the food supply in the city runs well, it will be built in the countryside."
The little girl shrank her head back, avoiding the hands on her head, with doubts on her face, "Chunyan said, his grandfather said at home, this is impossible, the food in the treasury can't support such consumption at all, we are done eating It's gone."
What is the national treasury and what is consumed? Rouli actually didn’t understand, but she knew what it means to eat up. When they were young, they often had nothing to eat. Their father gave her the last bite of food, and they starved to death on the road. There is plenty to eat.She always remembered the feeling of hunger, and she was very afraid, as Chunyan said, that one day they ate all the food, and there was nothing to eat again. She was so scared that she ate desperately for a few days, and her stomach hurt, and then she couldn't hold on. Just gave up.
Xiaoyue frowned, and was about to reprimand her not to talk nonsense, when the person standing beside the carriage interrupted suddenly, a man taller than her dead husband by a head, pointed at them and laughed loudly like a bell, The person attracted by the voice said loudly, "Listen, the little girl is worried about our grain storage. The Lord has always made good government orders. I come from Liuzhou and plan to travel around the country. In the past, there were often floods in our place. The previous wrong king always wanted to dig ditches. The diversion of water was not completed until his death, but it only took half a year for the master to do it, and there was no conscripting of corvees, so the decree issued by the master will definitely be realized."
The crowd who were only chatting quietly with the people around them, because of his words, joined in one after another. Originally, at the end of the month, the people who came to line up at the end of the month were all villagers who were a little far away. Those who lived nearby had already Received.The more rural the place is, the deeper the feeling for the new king's decree. Those who can enter the prefecture are people from some families, but they will not regard the monthly food as a life-saving grace.
An old man dressed in sackcloth looked at the man who spoke disapprovingly, "How can the wrong king be compared with the Lord, if it weren't for him, the Emperor of Heaven would not have left the throne of Qiao King empty for 20 years, Nor will my family of seven be buried in the loess, leaving me alone. He is a rebellious sinner, and he is not worthy of being king at all!"
"I think that the wrong king has done a good thing anyway. If it weren't for him, the Lord would not have become the King of Gong." A student wearing a cloth crown seemed to find it funny after speaking, and looked at the crowd cheerfully, waiting When others agreed, they turned their heads and were sprayed all over the face.
"Bah! You said it as if we still have to thank him. I don't think you have suffered!"
"I don't know where I've read the book because I'm still a student, but I can say such a thing!"
"In the past, the wrong king devoted himself to supporting these people with taxes. It is because of them that we don't even have food to live on!"
"When the monsters came, you must have never been out of a school, so you can stand and talk like this without back pain!"
"I don't think you are from Qiaoguo at all, otherwise how could you say such a thing!"
"Yes! He must not be a clever person. Some time ago, some people said that many people used the coupons of dead people to claim food. He is not a good person at first sight!"
Clothed in indigo, holding a grain bag in his hand, he looks like a frail scholar, so he is labeled as 'not looking like a good person', and flees in a hurry after being ridiculed by the restless crowd. Slow down, maybe you will be thrown stones by angry people.
Qian Shu, who was wearing a hood to cover up his hair color, looked at the scholar a little bit unbearably, thinking about what he said just now, sighed softly, and turned to look at the people around him, "My lord also felt that what the man just said was a bit Doesn't it please you?"
"What?" Jin Jiyu was stunned for a moment, followed Qianshu's gaze, looked at the scholar, and said with a chuckle, "It's just a sentence, and he didn't say anything wrong. If the wrong king didn't lose his way, Qiao Kingdom wouldn't have you." , Qianshu is not here, so naturally there will be no such thing as me, the King of Gong."
Jin Jiyu looked across the crowd at the old man who said that there was only one family of seven left, and asked Hong Kuo who was following behind him, "There should be one convenience store every mile now. Such an old man who is alone should be taken care of by the convenience store. How did he come to the grain store?" Come to get food?"
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, all unlucky things have been experienced in 20 years in Qiaoguo, not to mention corpses strewn all over the fields. There are many such cases where there are only widowed old people and unaccompanied young children left in the family. Their means of survival are very limited. Established in the state capital, it is not easy to rush to the state capital from the countryside.There are no monsters in Qiao Country, but there is no shortage of wild beasts in the mountains and forests, so it is not safe to travel all the way.
Compared with the food stations that only exist in the state capital, the convenience stations are the top priority in the early stage. Jin Jiyu spends more on the convenience stations than the food stations.Now the old man is not from Fucheng at first glance, and he came from the surrounding area to get the food, which means that there are conveniences for the people and he has not done what he should do.
Hong Kuo didn't think it was surprising, and replied meaningfully, "Food can be exchanged for meat, and there will be no problem of harsh treatment in convenience stores. It's just that there are not many people raising poultry and animals, and the taste may be a bit bland." Even if he said Everyone has food to eat, but there are still people who want to eat not only grains, but also meat.People are greedy and needy, food and clothing are the basics, the problem of survival is solved, of course they want to live a better life.
Jin Jiyu understood what he meant, but he didn't take his overtones seriously but didn't take it seriously. If it wasn't for pleasure, human beings wouldn't have groups. The reason why society can develop is because people want more than what is in front of them , but also to try not have had.
"Tell the magistrate that we can provide some subsidies to the people who raise livestock." The magistrate is in charge of population and household registration, and field hunting and livestock are also under his jurisdiction. Jin Jiyu turned around and remounted the beast, but she ignored it. Of course she was full. Just want to eat meat, except for the unicorn, all creatures come from the wood in the eternal life, and those who want livestock can pray under the tree that is specially born for animals. This is really asexual reproduction.
Qian Shu drove the beast to follow Jin Jiyu, Hong Kuo took a step behind, and stared at the people in line before following them.Renjun, this title may not be a good thing, my lord.The life of the people is only a few decades, they are small and short-sighted, they only see the things in front of them, they are the most easily forgotten group of people.The disaster has passed and the earth has recovered. I don't know if the benevolent government praised by everyone can last until the day when these people have evil thoughts.
Hong Kuo looked at the king and Qilin in front of him, and remembered the day when that man, standing on the high royal platform in front of the courtiers, gave the first pardon.The king who abolished the death penalty as his first amnesty, and the king who governed the country with benevolence, did not know if he had noticed that the number of people who starved to death in Qiaoguo was indeed decreasing year by year, but the cases of theft and robbery were also increasing.The King of Gong is kind and compassionate, and his actions are effective. There are more and more lenient sentences now. This is not a good thing.I hope that the current King Gong can stay on the throne for a longer time, so that he can arrange it properly. It is indeed a troublesome thing to have an empty throne.
Jin Jiyu didn't know what her Zhong Zai was thinking, but probably even if she knew, she wouldn't take it seriously.Of course she has seen an increase in gray cases, but in her opinion, it is not so much because of the sentencing, which makes the people feel that the cost of crime is not high, so if they take risks, it is better because the population of Qiaoguo has increased, and everyone has started to commit crimes. rich.
Once upon a time, there were only less than 25 people in Qiaoguo, including officials from all over the country, and soldiers from the state marquis, and it was not unheard of that the head of a town ruled only a hundred people.At that time, the cost of crime was lower and the crime rate was not high.Because everyone has nothing to eat and is struggling to survive, there are not a few people who are willing to work hard for a morsel of food.
Only three years have passed now, the floating people have returned, and the newborn population has increased. Most of the people in the peaceful era want to live in peace and do not want to make troubles at will.As the population increases, there will be more good people, and the bad people will naturally increase in the same proportion. Those increased cases just prove this.
As for the first amnesty that shocked the Twelve Kingdoms, even Shanglong Komatsu and Yoko Nakajima advised her to think twice, even more so.In a country that has not had many people for a long time, instead of continuing to implement the death penalty, it is better to let them bear the corvee that should have been placed on the people.What's more, Jin Jiyu doesn't like to let a life disappear in this world.
At the beginning, the person who questioned the King of Yan in front of Shanglong Komatsu, how could it be possible to make the Kingdom of Yan prosperous for 500 years by governing the country with benevolence, now wants to implement this goal with actions, which seems to be a very far-fetched goal, and blindly believes that as long as If she finds the right way, she can definitely do it.The Son of Heaven is the shepherd, and what the people seek for the sheep is good, not evil.
In the fifth year of Hongyao, the population of Qiaoguo finally reached 50. The cracked land was watered by years of rain and turned into arable land again. I see hope.
When Le Jun heard that King Gong came to the throne, he planned to return to his hometown. He was born in Qiao Country and grew up in Qiao Country. There is his mother's cemetery there, which is also his home.It's just that at that time, he was already an official under Yangzi's rule, and he couldn't quickly put aside the matter in hand. Not only King Jing, but also his friend Yangzi, also tried to persuade him to stay several times, so it took five years , back home.
Originally, Le Jun planned to relinquish his status as a fairy and go to Qiao Country again as a half-beast, but Yangzi felt that there was no need for that. She could wait for Le Jun to settle down in Qiao Country and directly transfer his household registration to Qiao Country.Yang Zi, who has always regarded Le Jun as a close friend, actually still holds the idea that after Le Jun has been to Qiaoguo, he is still willing to come back, although the hope is not great.
Half-beasts are existences between humans and beasts, and can be converted between human and animal forms. Cuo Wang himself hates existences that are different from ordinary people, such as fetuses, such as half-beasts.Also because of the king's dislike, Qiaoguo used to discriminate against half-beasts. They were not allowed to be officials, they were not allowed to go to school, and they were not allowed to use half-beasts in positions with even a slight professional title.
But compared to human form, Le Jun prefers to be in animal form, which is more comfortable and also his original appearance.Moreover, he had read the letters between King Gong and Yangzi of the Qiao Kingdom, and he didn't think that the benevolent king would mind the existence of a half-beast among his officials.Le Jun didn't expect that before he was sure about King Gong's attitude, he saw the change in the villagers' attitude towards the half-beast.
Le Jun, who was sitting in the courtyard, looked at the person who led the way for him, and trotted all the way to find the chief, feeling a little dazed. In the past, when they encountered half-beasts, most of them looked at him with evasive or disgusted eyes, rather than hearing him. He is a person returning to his hometown, so he was immediately taken into the prison. None of the things he encountered along the way surprised him more than this change, especially when the person sitting in front of him and invited him to drink tea Li Chang, when it was someone he knew.
Wearing a sky blue robe, a pair of peach blossom eyes, full beard, the part not covered by the beard looks like a handsome scholar, but the eyes look like a rough man.The seemingly uncoordinated Li Chang recognized Le Jun almost as soon as he saw him, and bowed his hands to salute him. When he raised his head, he looked at him half with memory and half with joy, "I didn't expect that we would still be able to see him." See you, Le Jun, how have you been all these years?"
"May I ask who you are?" Le Jun raised his little paw and scratched his head a little helplessly. He really didn't remember who the person in front of him was. He shouldn't easily forget such a special appearance.
Li Chang was taken aback for a moment, then let out a chuckle, it was even more strange to match his appearance, he raised his hand to cover his beard, raised his eyebrows and looked angry, his voice deliberately became thinner, "You half-beast ! It’s all because of you, and I will be ridiculed by the people in the school! You are not allowed to go to the school tomorrow!”
"Hey, half-beast, your family is so poor, you can still grow up so big, did you steal food somewhere?"
"Half beast, take my ball here, whoever let you be there, you deserve it if you hit it!"
"Half-beast, I heard that you were kicked out of the school?"
"Half beast..."
Time seems to go back to the old days, strange environment, strange people suddenly became familiar, Le Jun took a careful look at Li Chang, and asked uncertainly, "Guang Yu?" Someone who took pleasure in bullying him since childhood?
Guangyu immediately put down his hand, and pulled him to sit on the chair, "Remember? We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. I didn't expect you to have changed a bit." He raised his hand and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Le Jun, "Did I It's changed so much that you can't remember clearly?"
"Let me tell you, I actually don't want to be like this, but you also know that I used to look like a little girl, and was always teased by those people, and then I simply started to grow a beard. After my beard came out, I looked handsome and mighty." Quite a lot." Guang Yu turned happily to Le Jun, showing him his beard.
Le Jun was a little dazed for a while, the person who saw his disdainful face at the beginning now had joy in his eyes, as if he really met a childhood playmate, and wanted to share with him the changes in each other over the years.
People who show up with the old time will inevitably have some privileges, especially when the other party is the only living object in childhood memory.Guang Yu, who has been the head of the family for four years, saw that Le Jun didn't answer the words for a moment, and the smile on his face was slightly restrained, showing a trace of embarrassment. Standing up from the chair, he cupped his hands to salute.
"You don't need to do that." Le Jun said quickly, stretching out his paws, which were too short, trying to drag his hand, but didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.It's all a thing of childhood, and it's long gone now.
Guangyu looked at him as if he really didn't care, put down his hands, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. The noisy and noisy past years were all in this smile, and the wind drifted away, leaving only the familiar figure.Talked about the past without embarrassment, Le Jun was going to visit his mother's grave, Guangyu got up quickly, took him out, and said that he should also go to burn incense.
Le Jun followed Guangyu, looking at the few people around, he was a little puzzled and asked the head of the village, "It's the time of spring plowing, why are there no people in the field?" There are not many people in Qiaoguo, but At this time, even if there are only fifty people in the village, they should all be busy with spring plowing. If the world is deserted and there is no food, this is a big deal for the people.
"The Lord is benevolent. People in the village have food to support them. It's okay to go to the field later. The dew in the morning is too heavy. It's very uncomfortable to go out to work. It's the same as doing it in the afternoon." Guangyu said indifferently .
However, Le Jun's heart trembled. He knew the policy of the Food Institute. Back then in the Qing Kingdom, many people said that this was an unprecedented benevolent government. I don't know how much the government and the opposition praised it, but some people were worried. The burden on the country is too heavy, and many things will be dragged down by this policy.A country has a lot of money. In a farming society like Changshi, food is equivalent to money and is hard currency.Building bridges and laying soil, national construction, and even the salaries of officials and the food and grass in the army all require money. If it is given to one side, other things must be reduced, which may not be a good thing in the long run.
However, King Gong has carried out this policy for five years, and there has been no trouble in Qiaoguo. Those people back then were said to be worrying unfoundedly.Le Jun is the latter.It's just that he didn't expect that the princes didn't have any objections to the king, but the people who had benefited from it were using their own actions to prove that the grain supply could no longer continue.People no longer think about the land, no longer pay attention to the harvest, and sooner or later this country will have problems.
"I remember that in February, King Gong issued a government decree. After the beginning of next year, only the old and the weak can continue to receive grain. In this way, what will happen when the land is desolate and taxed?" Le Jun restrained his mind and thought When planning to return to the motherland, King Gong should have the right method for the information he consulted, otherwise he would not have issued this order.
Guangyu nodded to greet a villager, and replied casually, "I also think it's a bit troublesome, but I can't force them to go to the field. It's wrong. However, it shouldn't be a big problem. The rations will definitely allow everyone to live a good life, which is much better than previous years."
"Besides, there are a lot of old and weak people in the village. If it doesn't work, you can go to Limu to ask for a child. The rations of [-] catties per month until the age of ten will be given by the food department. There are too few people in the country. We have to Just work hard." Guang Yu turned his head to look at Le Jun, as if he wanted to appease him, "You just came back, maybe you don't know very well, the current lord is a very kind lord, if we really have a bad life, we can Write to ask for help, the Lord can always solve it for us.”
The worry in Le Jun’s heart was not appeased at all, but he became more and more worried, “If one day there is not enough food, and people need help, but everyone can’t get it, what should we do? Next year, the food supply will be limited. In a few years, will the grain store be completely banned?" Le Jun, including all people outside Qiaoguo, does not think that this grain store will always exist, it is only for emergency, the country does not Maybe you have been raising people for nothing. The country has raised you, and of course you have to feed back the country.
Guangyu, who watched Qiaoguo become like this little by little, told him with a smile on his face, "You think too much, Le Jun. If there is such a day, the Lord will have a way, he I will not watch people fall into this situation."
"The restriction of the grain store is only a temporary thing. It is normal that the food is not enough for five years, but at the end of the year, the autumn harvest will be harvested, and the food will increase again. The decree of the Lord is only to store more food. When there is enough, it will naturally come back Back to the beginning. At most, it would take two or three years. At the beginning, the fields were barren for 20 years. Isn’t all the production enough to feed us for five years? Now the weather is good, and it will be done soon.”
Le Jun looked at Guangyu in surprise, he said these words as a village head, or as a Qiaomin, these words, these words!Did he mean that all the harvest of King Gong should support the people?Even if not this year or next year, should we continue to support them in the year after?this. . . "Then what if the grain store is no longer open? There will always be other places in the country that need money, so what should we do then?"
Guangyu turned around and looked at him in surprise, "Isn't that something the Lord wants to solve?"
