"Sit down!" Chen Yang felt sour and poured him a glass of wine, "You're welcome."
The man was a little dazed.
He was used to being scolded, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw such a person being so kind to him.
"Sit down!" Chen Yang said again, "We are all human beings, there is no distinction between high and low, so sit down."
The man then sat down.
Looking at the food, my eyes were shining.
It can be seen that he is indeed very hungry.
However, he did not go to get food immediately, but asked Chen Yang tremblingly: "I...can I take something with me? No...I mean, I don't want to eat, I want...I want to
Take some back for my family to eat, my children... they don’t have anything to eat, can I take it back?”
Chen Yang looked at him and nodded.
"Thanks!"
As he said that, he had already taken action.
"Xiaoer!" At this moment, Chen Yang waved to him.
The waiter in the shop has been paying close attention to this place. After hearing the words, he came over immediately and said, "Sir, how are you?"
"Help me make another dish and take it away with him."
"Sir, this%..."
"Do it now!"
He spoke immediately.
The waiter glanced at the man, muttered, and left.
I thought to myself that this man was really lucky to meet such a kind-hearted person today.
The waiter went to do it immediately.
"No, no, no..." The man was startled and immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm so sorry, no, I'll just have some leftovers."
"No rush!" Chen Yang shook his head, "Let's eat slowly here. I happen to want to ask you about something, so don't be anxious."
The man looked at him.
"It's like this. Isn't this the territory of the anti-revisionist group now? Your life is not very good now?" Chen Yang asked.
When the man heard this, his face changed slightly.
Chen Yang understood and said calmly: "Don't worry, we can chat lightly, and I won't tell others what happened."
The man nodded, looked at him and then said softly: "To put it bluntly, they are actually not much different from the previous temples. They collected the same amount of taxes, and... and we were originally
People have peeled off one layer, and now we still have to deal with them, so it is even more difficult for us now. The previous war caused many of us to lose our crops. Survival now is a luxury.
"
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "The taxes they charge are the same as before?"
"Yes, they are all the same. There is no difference from the temple."
"What if you don't have one?"
The man smiled miserably, pointed at himself and said, "You will know when you look at me, we don't even have a home anymore."
Chen Yang felt pity for a moment.
He had known that the anti-religion group was not a good thing, but he didn't expect that they would be tricked like this.
To be honest, it was beyond his expectation.
Because he felt that as a normal person, the first thing he should think about is to stabilize them.
But apparently they didn't do that.
However, Chen Yang immediately understood that there were more and more people in the anti-religious group. They had to eat and spend money. In the end, these things would fall on the common people.
The co-author means that when you change dynasties, ordinary people will be the ones hurt in the end.
"Is your home smashed into pieces, or..."
"We can't stay any longer!" the man said with a sigh, "We are forced to pay taxes every day. How can we have the money to pay? Even if they don't chase us away, we have to run away, otherwise..."
Chen Yang understood, "So everyone left?"
"What else can I do?" The man smiled bitterly.
"Eat!" Chen Yang took a dish for him.
The man ate quickly. Looking at the way he ate, you knew he was very hungry.
"Our whole family escaped from our hometown, thinking that at least there would be someone here. They have money, and maybe they can give us something to eat, and give us a mouthful of food. But when we came in, we found that everyone was
You think so, look, there are so many beggars."
Chen Yang glanced down, his face a little solemn.
"What's even worse is that it's not just the village. After the war, the city was also severely damaged. You see, they themselves can't even eat, so we have nothing to eat. It's miserable!"
"How can this go on?" Chen Yang asked.
"There's nothing we can do about it..." the man said with a wry smile, "We don't know what to do now."
"How many people are in your family?"
"I have two children, the older one is already over ten years old, but the younger one is only seven or eight years old. There are also my parents, my wife..."
Six people!
It's not easy to feed six people like this.
"Run away..." Chen Yang thought for a while and then said, "Go to the west, not here, go to the west, near Dongyang City, where the Shanhai Navy rules. They don't tax taxes there."
"No tax?"
"certainly!"
"But without taxation, how can he feed his soldiers?"
"Do you know how rich those landlords are?" Chen Yang looked at him and said calmly, "All the farmers in your city combined may not be as rich as the biggest rich man here, so you think this world
Is there no money? No, it’s not that there’s no money, it’s just uneven distribution!”
The man looked at Chen Yang blankly. This was the first time he heard these things.
"Shan Haijun only collects taxes from the landlords and wealthy people, unlike ordinary people." Chen Yang said lightly, "At least that's how it is now."
"But Dongyang City is so far away..."
"It is very far!" Chen Yang nodded, "But there is no way now. The best way is to go all the way over there, and it is best to follow a large group of people, which is safer."
Chen Yang sighed and said, "I can only help you so far."
The man thought for a while and finally said, "Did you come from that way?"
"right!"
"Is it safe this way?"
Chen Yang thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "It's actually quite safe, it's not too chaotic."
The man thought for a while, ate a few more bites quickly, and then said, "Okay, then I understand."
Obviously, he has already made up his mind.
Chen Yang had already finished inquiring, so he didn't say anything more. The two of them concentrated on eating.
Not long after, the things to take away were ready, and the two of them were full.
"Cook me another ten tables of dishes like this..." Chen Yang faced the waiter and at the same time took out a lot of money from his body and threw it all on the table. "Invite the people below to come up and eat. They can eat first. If you don't want to eat, they can eat first."
You can take them back when you're done, but you can't rob them. You have to follow the rules. By the way, you help them distribute them. Everyone must have something, do you understand?"
The waiter was confused.
"Of course, but..."
"Money is for spending!" Chen Yang said with a smile, "I will give you money now, and you just do as I say. As for whether the money I spent is worth it, that is for me to decide, not
You can talk too much, do you understand?"
The waiter was surprised and nodded immediately: "Sir, we'll do it right away!"
