Early the next morning, Xia Ming came to report that a group of hungry people had come to the gate of the post station. They were kneeling on the ground and begging for food. It turned out that after Postmaster Wu ate some food yesterday, he brought some noodles to look for orphans and children in the city and distributed them to everyone.
Some food. So this morning, many victims rushed to the inn and begged Zhang Xiaowu to give them some food.
Zhang Xiaowu couldn't bear to see the suffering of hundreds of victims, so he ordered: "Each person has two pieces of bread, no matter how big or small. No one is allowed to fight over it, and no one is allowed to bully others. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy."
Wang Yijin went to distribute food to the victims. This kind of bread was the most hungry and the easiest to store. If you save one piece of bread, you can last for five days, and two pieces of bread can last for ten days. Afterwards, Wang Yijin said: "
The Two Wolf Pass has been restarted and turned on and off. If you want to survive, you can go to Saibei. Although Saibei is also suffering, at least everyone is well fed and clothed, which is better than staying here and starving to death."
"Thank you, Mr. Young Master. When I get old, I can no longer walk. I think that if I die, I will die in my hometown and I don't want to leave." An old man said.
Seeing the suffering of the people in Shangyi County, the originally enthusiastic marching team suddenly fell silent. Everyone thought of their hometowns and wondered how their hometowns and their relatives were doing now. Are they as suffering as Shangyi County? Especially several years ago.
A soldier from a poor area was even more worried about his family.
"Alas... in prosperity, the people are suffering; in death, the people are suffering." Zhang Xiaowu sighed with emotion.
The team continued on the road, but no one felt that the sun was harsh anymore. Compared with the sunshine, the tragic situation in Shangyi County made them feel more worried. Zhang Xiaowu finally understood why Emperor Dade insisted on stopping the northern war and delayed giving money to Mucheng.
Silver, grain, grass and soldiers, it turned out that the battle in the front was difficult, but it emptied the foundation of the rear.
"In the final analysis, the reason for the decline of the Holy Han Dynasty was that Emperor Taiqian was warlike." Ruan Qingwen said, "He was in the capital, and he only saw the people of the capital. Since the capital had supplies for the whole country, the people of the capital would naturally not fall into famine. Then
The reason why Yuezhou rebelled was not because the people could no longer survive."
"Is it like Shangyi County?" Wang Yijin asked hurriedly.
Ruan Qingwen shook his head and said: "The land in Shangyi County is barren and it coincides with a disaster. Naturally, the people will not resent the government. And you see, the county magistrate has died of illness. Who can they blame. But Yuezhou is different. The land in Yuezhou is fertile.
Shenghan Granary,
At that time, there was a saying that if Jiang Yue was ripe, the world would be rich. It is conceivable that if the people of Yuezhou did not pay for food, they would not starve. I think the food tax must be too high, causing the people to grow their own food and not have enough to eat. Everyone thinks
Resentment naturally leads to rebellion."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Then Yuezhou is not as good as Shangyi County. At least Shangyi County suffered from natural disasters, while Yuezhou suffered from man-made disasters."
"Yes, man-made disasters are more serious than natural disasters." Ruan Qingwen said helplessly.
Continuing along the official road, we saw desolate land, barren farmers, and desolate wilderness. We even occasionally saw bandits holding dung forks ready to rob the road. Zhang Xiaowu sent people to disperse them.
That's all. He really couldn't figure it out. Since the country was already in such a state of decline,
Why did Emperor Taigan still launch such a war? Is he playing games with the people and using human life as a flag? Fortunately, Emperor Dade is now in power and has begun to pay attention to recuperation. But unfortunately, after Emperor Dade ascended the throne,
Coinciding with the natural disaster, the Shenghan Empire was really ill-fated.
A few days later, everyone finally arrived in Daizhou City.
As the capital of Daizhou, Daizhou City is naturally more prosperous than Shangyi County. It finally has popularity here. What made them unexpectedly was that before they came to Daizhou City, they encountered a large -scale fighting.
It turned out that there was a river outside Daizhou City, called the Dai River. During the flood, this generation was the disaster star of the Daizhou. At the time of drought, the Dai River became a savior. Since the government builds the river embankment every year, the government will build the river embankment every year.
As a result, the Dai River embankment is higher and higher, so that the water level of the river sometimes exceeds the height of the farmland. It is naturally dangerous when flooding. It can now show that its irrigation is convenient.
However, Daihe has also flowed all the water. If the upstream is irrigated, the downstream can not be irrigated. Therefore, in order to compete for water conservancy irrigation, there will often be villages and towns.
Only at the county level, the town and village are basically the appointment of the county magistrate or the local recommendation. Therefore, there is no service in the village and towns. One town or a village is a separate little kingdom.
Warring States "national war".
The two towns who participated in the fighting fought had thousands of people. The government and the government saw that they did not dare to interfere with the interference, lest Zhang Xiaowu and others just passed by, and saw this amazing scene, thousands of people.
The fighting is really wonderful. A group of meters wearing gray clothes and a group of gangs wearing black clothes, but after a while, two groups became bloody clothes.
Everyone's weapon is only a stick of agricultural tools. Although there are also swords, it is not a saber, but it is very rare to hunt the bow. But after everyone fights together, this hunting bow is extremely easy to kill themselves, so everyone throws off the hunting.
The bow holds the stick and continues to fight.
Everyone fights, but it is on the official road. It turns out that the left side of the official road is Bazhen, and the right side of the official road is Liujiabao. The two parties made an appointment to duel on the official road, but they blocked Zhang Xiaowu and others.
"Let's take a look at the lively, pay attention to the alert, the sergeant with the armor, so as not to hurt and wait for me." Zhang Xiaowu immediately ordered that if he was close to me, kill without pardon.
"喏."
However, it was probably scared by the armed forces of the ghost guard. The eighty guards, holding a skeleton ghost face flag, a noodle scarf, a heavy armor, the scarlet wrap floating with the wind, the rows of simplicity swords flashed, and the rows of simplicity flashed, and the rows of simplicity flashed, and the rows of simplicity flashed, and the rows of simplicity flashed light.
The people of the two towns were separated quickly, and they stared at this group of "black evil gods", lest they were the opponent's reinforcements.
One of the two towns sent one person to ask, Wang Yijin stepped forward: "Saiti Ghost Guard, go to Beijing to sanctify, avoid idlers!"
"Ghost guard? Ghost generals?" The people of the two towns heard the ghost names, and the heart of worship immediately came over to see who was the famous ghost who was famous, and even the battle stopped. Zhang Xiaowu was helpless.
I thought I would see a fight, but I did not expect to be a large fan meeting.
Later, the two towns (quite about the mayor) rushed over, and asked the ghost to be fair to himself. Zhang Xiaowu said: "I am not your county order, how can I give you justice?"
The two of them were in the same way: "The rest of the people are not convinced, only serve the ghosts, and the ghost will kill the dog with the country.
It is fair, publicly determined right and wrong, I will wait for nothing. "
