Chapter 92 The prosperous world is only three taels of wine money

Xun Yuantuo sat upright on the mottled wall covered with mottled moss all night.

Last night, the woman said a few more words to him and wanted to go back to the house to rest, which showed that there were still some sewing work I received on the day, so I would not disturb the young master's study.

There were only two girls lying on the bed with their pillows and arms, and the woman leaned against the bed and fell asleep.

The young master's chess score had not been opened all night, his eyes were half closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking until the sky was bright.

"It's better to be loose than blockage. I guess I haven't figured it out all night. I've never figured it out completely. Come with me and go out to pick some wild vegetables, just to help others." Zhou Kefa's voice came next to the wall, which made Xun Yuantuo barely come back to his senses. He didn't care about his legs numb, slid down the wall, and quickly followed his master.

There are not many families in Sanpian, most of them are scattered, one in the north and one in the south, and the nearest to the east also needs to walk on Dongyin County. Previously, when Xun Yuantuo was chatting with a woman, he learned that the woman called Luo Hanyan, and every three days, he had to go out to Dongyin County early to take a walk just to take some needlework to support his family and make a living.

With this needlework alone, it is naturally not enough for three people to eat and wear. Fortunately, there are many wild lands around, and wild vegetables and herbs are flourishing here. Whether it is used to add their own food or collect a basket to sell it to the market, you can always make a living.

The one whom Kefa went to pick next week was the wild vegetables that could be eaten. Mr. Xun was quite dazed all night. In addition, he had no such experience. After half an hour, he picked a basket of wild grass, and there were almost only a few edible wild vegetables.

Mr. Zhou did not talk about anything else, but patiently taught his disciple how to identify wild vegetables and weeds. He was busy until noon before stopping slightly and taking a break.

"I've never slept all night, I guess I have a lot of insights. I might as well talk to you as a teacher." Mr. Zhou was tall and thin. He bent down to pick several times. His waist and legs were painful again at this moment. He had to sit cross-legged, lean against a willow tree behind him, and looked at his proud disciple with a smile.

"The student is stupid. He has been thinking hard for a night but has never come up with the reason." The young master was not much better. He stopped for a while and was still breathing. In normal times, he had servants to serve him in bathing and vegetarian food. How could he be as tired as he is now? He was born with weak lungs and breathed evenly for a long time and replied slowly.

"If you are stupid, how many smart people can there be in the world? It's like picking wild vegetables. It's not because you have poor eyesight, but because you are not familiar enough. It's inevitable that you can't see some things in detail. Don't worry, you won't make fun of them at will."

Having said that, Mr. Xun was full of complaints. When he was competing for chess, his actions were simply arrogant and rude. Fortunately, he was a little cunning. Otherwise, if the two of them started fighting in the mansion and were spreading out, the absurd behavior would probably be passed down for several years and be regarded as a laughing stock.

But now it is not the time to mention this matter.

Xun Yuantuo calmed down and said the woman's original words as they were, then calmed down, "Take the government first, although the disciple is a commoner, he has heard a lot of them while chatting with the servants. If someone dies due to a mansion, the court will definitely issue a large amount of widowed silver for the use of the family. But if life and death are unknown, the silver will be deposited and not distributed, and the person will show up or find the body, and then distributed it to the family."

"The official documents and regulations clearly state that women are not allowed to be postmen, not to mention that Luo Hanyan did not connect to the cavalry and occupied the postmen set up by the court for a long time, which was indeed inconsistent with the law, so this is one of them."

After saying that, Xun Yuantuo looked at his master's face, for fear of missing something.

"It's a good idea. It seems that Yuan Tuo also has an understanding of the law. He is indeed knowledgeable and memorable. I don't know what the second explanation is?" Zhou Kefa rubbed his waist and eyes, and his eyes were quite applauded.

Seeing this, Mr. Xun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "The second is to say that Luo Hanyan's encounter. The husband did not return for a long time and raised two daughters with one person's strength. His husband was appointed as the imperial envoy, and was summoned by the imperial court to the capital and disappeared halfway. In terms of emotion and reason, the government should properly resettle, and should not be expelled like now, and even invite the rascal scoundrel to come to the door to disturb the public."

"Luo Hanyan once said that he did not have to occupy this place, but his family had no rice to cook, and he was not full of food and was not warm in clothes. How could he buy or build a house? Take a step back and build a thatched cottage that sheltered from the wind and rain by himself, as a weak woman, and he was under the pressure of raising two daughters, how could both take care of them?"

"Besides, Luo Hanyan's actions were not allowed to ride a horse to report the news, but the rest of the meals and meals were all done with all their efforts, which could not be called a forced occupation, and it also seemed that the government was using its power to bully people."

"In the course of law, the government has the advantage, but in the sense of reason, Luo Hanyan's three mouths were extremely wronged."

Zhou Kefa narrowed his eyes slightly, "From what you see, what should be the current situation? Where does the conflict between the two come from?"

As soon as these words were said, Mr. Xun blushed a little, pursed his already thin lips, and replied dejectedly: "These principles have not been gone for a long time. However, the teacher's last question made me think hard for almost the whole night, but I still couldn't understand it."

Mr. Zhou sat upright and said word by word.

"The root of poverty is the same as what I said before, when a family of wealth and luxury cares about poor people."

"It is not to say that the rich are willing to spend all their money and help the poor people. Those poor people who are lazy and do not work hard, of course, are not worthy of helping and pity; but for this family, they are really powerless."

"It's too much to make needles and threads and pick up wild vegetables after all. And if this situation continues, the group of invited rogues will soon have nothing to grab. If they don't leave, they may be chastity and innocence will be broken into the hands of others. There is no way to retreat. Why do the wealthy families around them stand by and watch?"

"Today, Shangqi is most famous for its prosperous literary style. The wealthy scholars in their families often use poetry to criticize and indulge in other families, which has attracted countless praises, but they are reluctant to leave even a copper coin. This is a disadvantage of the people's customs."

Xun Yuantuo's eyes were bright.

"Maybe one day in a thousand years, the government can issue a wide range of advertisements to collect people's wishes, and the wealthy people can be willing to pay two or three meals of wine. Everyone can spare no effort to help others, and then the prosperous era can be expected."

I guess no one in the world would have thought that the only one who expressed such aspirations was a teacher who was nearly fifty years old.

The teacher's beard was slightly messy, and because he picked wild vegetables, he rubbed his blue jacket with dust. He also had a neat basket of wild vegetables on his hand.

However, in Xun Yuantuo's eyes, mountains were like gathering.

ps. Fortunately, in today's prosperous era, just as Mr. Zhou expected.
