The symbolic significance of saving five hundred children is far greater than its actual significance. The people and disaster victims in Yangcheng County called this man "as stingy as a jackal" and "Yelang" actually wanted to save five hundred children. People's evaluation of him was
Begin to transform.
In Yangcheng County now, almost every household is closed and everything is closed.
The scene of depression is indescribable. It is completely different from the scene in Yangcheng County where Ye An first arrived a month ago.
Ye An now felt that his previous guesses with Wang Ming were correct. Under such a horrific disaster, unrest could occur at any time. The more than a thousand warriors brought by Sun Quanbin became the main force to suppress the unrest here.
The victims were already struggling on the verge of death. Suppressing them would not be worth the gain. On the contrary, it would arouse public anger. If there was unrest when the victims numbered in the tens of thousands, the consequences would not be something Sun Quanbin could afford.
Besides, wielding a knife at the unarmed, emaciated victims of the disaster is a test of human nature. If these sergeants can wave their weapons ruthlessly, then they themselves are uncontrollable existences. Even if they stabilize the situation in Yangcheng County through violence, from
The court's verbal and written criticism will also make these "butchers" die without a place to die!
The moral standards of the Song Dynasty were almost abnormally strict. In the current disaster situation, Sun Quanbin, who was promoted as the disaster relief officer of Henan Prefecture, pointed a knife at the victims. No matter whether he was effective in disaster relief, the end would be extremely miserable.
So Sun Quanbin did not swing his knife at the victims, but attacked the wealthy merchants who were hoarding grain in Yangcheng County...
After Xuan Chengzi's ox cart entered Yangcheng County, it went straight to Baiyunguan, but Ye An went to the county government instead.
Seeing such a serious disaster, so many victims, the shocking famine, and the various tragic rumors he heard along the way, his heart never calmed down.
"Being born is noble!"
He no longer dared to say such words. People should live first, not talk about so-called nobility.
If you no longer have the qualifications to live, how can you talk about nobility? How can you talk about freedom?
Only those who have no worries about food and clothing will pursue ideals, wealth, and noble character!
What Ye An sees now is devastation and starvation everywhere!
In this scene that was so depressing that he couldn't breathe, Ye An discovered that the cruelty of later generations could not be compared with the cruelty of this era.
The child can be sold just for a little ration, and the child is willing to do so.
All the food brought by Lao Dao has been distributed, including Ye An and Tie Er's share. Tie Er is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If Ye An hadn't secretly shown him his cowhide bag, this would have been
I almost cried.
Ye An needs time, three months to transition. The soil quality in Yangcheng County is very good and it is famous for its red bauxite. The soil quality is outrageous. The soft soil is rich in potassium, iron, iron, zinc, etc.
With a variety of trace elements and a suitable climate, it is very suitable for the growth of root crops, especially the cultivation of sweet potatoes.
In later generations, the sweet potatoes here were famous and delicious. As a native of Henan, how could Ye An not know this?
He needs three months. During these three months, the underground hope will take root and sprout, and will produce large tracts of vines and fruits.
In the woods behind Laojun Temple, the hopes planted have already reached the standard of being used as seed food.
Potatoes are best cultivated by cutting them into pieces, but he came in a hurry and just buried potatoes one by one in the ground for the most basic planting. But in this summer, potatoes will take root and sprout faster.
The old Taoist does not want Ye An to go to the county government. After all, in his opinion, it is better not to get involved in right and wrong anymore, especially Ye An, who likes to boast about Haikou's strong temper.
Five hundred children have been adopted. If we don't go to Laojun Temple early, if we delay for one more day, these weak children will be one day closer to the underworld!
But Ye An still insisted on going, and told Xuanchengzi: "Master, quickly take these children to Guanzhong to avoid trouble. From today on, Yangcheng County may be in turmoil. Sun Quanbin is tormenting the merchants, and the merchants will definitely
If you fight back, there will be no innocent people when you fall!"
Xuanchengzi was horrified. He naturally knew what Ye An meant. In the face of a catastrophic disaster, a piece of news or a knife could cause earth-shaking changes in the seemingly stable situation.
He took Ye An's hand and said, "Then why don't you go to the county government office? Let's go back to the mountain with our master! Laojun Guan Blessing still has the ability to protect these five hundred children!"
Ye An pointed at himself and smiled bitterly: "Can the disciple still be able to leave now? Seeing such an appearance, people like ghosts should do something for Song Shi. The master really cares about the disciple today.
oh!"
"Everything is done by Wang Wen and Sun Quanbin. What does it have to do with you?!"
"Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle! Master, I am your direct disciple of Mr. Guanmiao. If I don't have something that I can use, wouldn't I make the world laugh at me? I'd also lose my name, wouldn't I? Don't worry, master, as long as the disciple wants to
Run, no one can stop you!"
After saying that, Ye An threw the dry food in the cowhide bag to Tie Er: "Protect my master Zhou Quan, but you can take your mother to the mountain. If I don't see you when I go back, it will be a favor and feed the dog!"
After saying that, he walked away without hesitation. Tie Er wanted to catch up with Ye An, but was pulled back. When he came back to his senses, he was shocked to find that he was being held by Xuan Chengzi with one hand and could not move forward at all.
"What a little bear! The Taoist knows that he still has some abilities that he has not yet shown! Let him go, the world is big and the Taoist will be there to support him if he collapses!"
After Xuan Chengzi finished speaking, he swept the whisk and hit Tie Er on the head: "Go back to the mountain with Master Tao!"
Although he has not been in contact with Ye An for a long time, for some reason, Xuan Chengzi has great confidence in Ye Anbi. In his opinion, this kid brings surprises to him all the time, and many seemingly unbelievable things will change when he sees them.
It must be feasible.
How many amazing things has he done?
In Wang Wen's county government, he could decisively refuse Wang Yuan's solicitation, and even made Wang Yuan's face fall to the ground. But with such an attitude, no one could say a word about him, Ye An, because he had
Of ability.
Wang Yuan was not capable enough, so he did not capture Ye An, which can only be regarded as a good talk among the officials.
How could a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old have such a broad life experience? No matter what he said or did, he showed a sense of sophistication in everything.
But this was far from being as simple as Ye An. The series of things that followed made Xuan Chengzi feel more and more incredible, and even made him doubt whether this kid was an anomaly between heaven and earth.
Judging from the fact that Ye An sold his reputation to Wang Hao, he was already aware that the locust plague was raging in Henan Province. He told himself before, but he didn't take it seriously at that time. In the following period, whether Ye An
When faced with Wang Hao's persecution or Wang Wen's request for food, they all dealt with the situation in a measured manner.
Regardless of those unfathomable things, this kind of character that far exceeds his age makes the old man wonder what kind of soul is under Ye An's skin...
But even if he tried hard, he wouldn't know that under Ye An's young and handsome skin is an "old ghost" who has experienced thousands of years, an infinitely lofty soul that is incompatible with this era.
