Chapter 841 The Benefits of the Crowd

There are many, many princesses in the Tang Dynasty, thanks to the efforts of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong.

Especially Emperor Gaozu, since he was imprisoned in Taiji Palace by Emperor Taizong, he has shown the extremely huge fertility of human beings.

In the ten years from the Xuanwumen Incident to the death of Emperor Gaozu in the ninth year of Zhenguan, he left a total of thirty younger brothers and sisters to Emperor Taizong.

Of course, Emperor Taizong didn't give up too much. He left Li Zhi with 21 sisters and sisters in his life.

Maybe it's because there are too many sisters and aunts. Apart from cherishing Jinyang Princess Li Mingda, Li Zhi treats other aunts and sisters as normal.

It's a pity that Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang died at the age of 12. Li Zhi, who was originally silent and cowardly, once shouted at Gao Yang and a group of princesses under grief and anger, why didn't they die.

Therefore, Princess Datang is worthless to Li Zhi.

What is worthless in front of the emperor is worthless. In the eyes of the common people, the princesses of the Great Tang Dynasty are great figures.

They have been awarded a lot of land, so that even in a small county like Yanshi County, there are quite a few properties belonging to the princess.

Xue Changfeng felt that since the emperor wanted to attack the local tyrants, he should treat them equally and kill all the local tyrants, which was in line with the original intention of the emperor.

This is so unfair.

Throughout Xue Changfeng's life, what he valued most was fairness.

So, while Yin Erhu was busy taking care of the soft little baby girl, Xue Changfeng led the other eleven groups to plunder the houses of local tyrants in Yanshi County who were deliberately left behind by the rioters.

Compared with those rioters, they are very organized and disciplined. First, they kill the guards and thugs in these people's homes, then politely invite the master out, and then hang the family members with whips or red-hot irons Ask about the money and grain hidden in their home.

Then the money was taken away, the food was discarded in the wilderness, and the title deeds, IOUs and other things were burned, and finally the house was burned down, and then disappeared into the wilderness without a trace.

Although it is in the wilderness of cold winter, there are still some people who have experienced the government's violent expropriation and have no food and clothing. They are looking for grass roots. As a result, they can always find bags of food when they are most hungry...

It only took Xue Changfeng four days to do these things.

When he returned to the inn called Dongyang again, Yin Erhu had raised the spirit of the dying little baby girl.

Now, lying in Yin Erhu's arms, he is exercising with his calves kicking.

When Xue Changfeng came back, Yin Erhu handed over the little girl to a wet nurse whom he specially found. Not to mention that the wet nurse was tall and fit, the two granaries were even more plump and plump like the Hanjiacang in Luoyang.

Even Xue Changfeng, who has never been interested in women, couldn't help but take a second look at this wet nurse.

"Where did you find such an ugly wet nurse?"

Yin Erhu asked strangely, "What does the nanny want to be so pretty?"

Xue Changfeng nodded and said, "You are quite right."

"How are things going?"

"It's over, it's going well."

"That's good. However, you did it privately, and it has nothing to do with me. If the Lord is responsible, you will be responsible."

"That is to say, the Lord will not be too strict, right?"

Yin Erhu sighed and said, "There is a two-story building in Xingqingfang that has been vacant all the time. It belongs to you. You can move in after returning to Chang'an. However, there is a prerequisite that you want to marry a wife."

"How much is that small building worth?"

Yin Erhu thought for a while and said: "Because it is close to Xingqing Palace, there are only houses for buying, not for sale, and the price is hard to say. Anyway, there were no houses there at the beginning of the expansion of Xingqingfang, basically there will be none."

"There is no business? Most of the poor people lived in that area before, so there will always be people with an eye for money, right?"

Yin Erhu glanced at Xue Changfeng and said, "The land deed and house deed there have been locked by the government for five years, and they can only be traded after five years."

Xue Changfeng said: "The government forced the common people to get rich?"

Yin Erhu glanced at Xue Changfeng and said, "So, don't treat all the officials as moths, anyway, there are some who worry about the people."

Xue Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Our Lord is also such a character?"

Yin Erhu smiled and said: "A person who can make me tell the mass grave incident as a joke, die for him, I have nothing to say.

You used to say that our brothers can change lives, now I will give you a chance to give your life to the Lord, even if he wants you to die, you will feel that death is worthy and worthwhile. "

"How did you say those words?"

Yin Erhu sighed and said, "Because the lord said that you are a person who was born in troubled times. The more chaos you have, the more proud you will be. So, you are going to Hebei to take on the big responsibility yourself."

Xue Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Shall I go by myself?"

Yin Erhu shook his head and said: "When you arrive in Youzhou, there will be two disgusting slave traders looking for you, hang out with them for a while, and when the manpower from Dahang City arrives, kill the slave traders and replace them."

Xue Changfeng said excitedly: "I have the final say?"

Yin Erhu put his hands on his shoulders and said, "Don't disappoint the Lord's trust."

Xue Changfeng brought a bottle of wine and a plate of fried beans, and the two faced Ganla.

It's not that the two of them don't like snacks, but because all the shopkeepers of Dongyang Inn have run away.

The two of them didn't talk much, and they spent more time eating beans than talking. Just when Yin Erhu ate the last bean, there was a lively sound of gongs and drums outside the window.

"I am Princess Anding of the Tang Dynasty. I came to Yanshi because I heard that you are suffering. I want you to live a good life. But before that, you should trust me...

In order to make you believe me, I brought you cheap food and cheap linen. I will never earn you a penny. I just want you to have enough food to survive this cold winter...

I also set up a porridge shed outside Yanshi City, as long as you are hungry, you can eat it, even if you bring a mother-in-law and baby, Aye, Aniang can also...

Remember, I am Princess Anding of Datang, I am not here to harm you, but to help you..."

Hearing the crisp female voice outside, Xue Changfeng was not moved at all, but said to Yin Erhu: "Let me kill this lowly maidservant before going to Youzhou."

Yin Erhu chewed the last bean, and said casually: "What if he really came to help the people of Yanshi County?"

Xue Changfeng said: "Do you believe this?"

Yin Erhu raised his wine glass to touch Xue Changfeng and said, "Believe what should be believed."

Xue Changfeng pricked up his ears and continued to listen, only to hear the female voice outside continue to make noise.

"I opened a pawn shop. As long as you believe in me, you can pawn anything. The price will be high. The time to redeem the pawn is after the summer harvest next year. The interest is not high, only [-]%..."

Hearing the female voice say this, Xue Changfeng couldn't sit still any longer, he pressed the handle of the horizontal knife with one hand and said, "You are shameless."

Yin Erhu poured out the last few drops of spirits from the wine bottle, sucked them into his stomach meanly with two squeaks.

Then he pressed Xue Changfeng's hand and said: "Look more, don't always think that all the crows in the world are black. I saw a white crow in the mass grave back then, and it was the leader of the crows."

As the sound of gongs and drums approached, Xue Changfeng could see a group of women in tattered clothes without looking out, each carrying a flag made of colorful silk, followed by a few skinny men, beating gongs and drums while shouting inexplicable words. Dongyang walked downstairs.

Xue Changfeng let go of the handle of the knife, and sadly grabbed the wine bottle, only to find that there was not a single drop of wine in it.

"We just robbed a princess of his wealth, and another princess came just after smelling it. In this world, there are countless princesses and thieves who can't be slaughtered. Two tigers, our brothers are not as good as..."

Before he finished speaking, Yin Erhu's big hand landed on his head again. This slap was so hard that Xue Changfeng's face hit the table hard.

"During the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were 36 ways of rebelling against the king and 72 strands of smoke and dust in the world, which made a mess of the originally viable world.

Among the one hundred and eight heroes, there may not be any heroes like you who want to save the people from fire and water.

What a pity, do you know how many people died in this battle? "

Xue Changfeng said angrily: "I can't get out of this mouthful of bad breath, I feel unbalanced in my chest."

Yin Erhu took off the jug from his waist, unscrewed the lid and poured Xue Changfeng a glass of pure anti-virus without water, touched the glass with him, and drank it all in one gulp. The hot wine condensed into a line of fire in his throat and went straight into his stomach .

After taking a breath of alcohol, he continued: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, in the fifth year of Daye, there were 23 million people on this land. In the early years of Zhenguan, when the world was settled, the population on this land was only 500 million.

Changfeng, tell me, where are the other 500 million people?Do you want to kill and disperse so many people again, just to express such a sigh of relief?

Furthermore, even if you become the emperor, can you guarantee that you will do better than the current emperor?

Can you guarantee that your daughter will not become like these Tang princesses?

Don't think about it, you can't change anything. As far as your temperament is concerned, the world will only get worse after you get in power. "

Xue Changfeng didn't speak for a while, and seeing Yin Erhu's eyes full of contempt, he sighed and said, "Don't we do anything?"

Yin Erhu smiled and said, "Aren't you doing what you should do? At least it makes the current situation in Yanshi County look more fair."

"You don't want to do something?"

Yin Erhu looked at the little baby girl in the arms of that ugly nanny and said, "I want to take care of that child."

"That's it?"

"Isn't that enough? If everyone was as kind as I am, there would be so much shit in this world.

The journey of the road begins with one step. "

"Hey, why would you say such a thing?"

After Yin Erhu took another sip of wine to let out the smell of alcohol, he said softly: "This is what the Lord said, and he also said that today is better than yesterday, tomorrow will be better than today, after every day, everything will be better.

For example, the Yanshi County in front of you, when you return from Hebei, you will see a safe and happy Yanshi County. "

Xue Changfeng looked at Yin Erhu in a daze, and after a while, he picked up the horizontal knife and said to Yin Erhu: "I'm leaving, to Youzhou."

Yin Erhu screwed on the lid of the jug, threw it to Xue Changfeng and said, "Be careful all the way."

Xue Changfeng left the Dongyang Inn with the jug in his arms. After a while, Yin Erhu heard the sound of horseshoes going away.

He sighed and wanted to drink some more wine, but found that the glass was empty.

At this time, the door of the room was opened, and a gust of cold wind rushed into the room. Yin Erhu frowned slightly, and just when he was about to get angry, he saw a young boy with a round head come in with a smile.

Yin Erhu got up abruptly, before he could salute, he saw Yun Jin who was facing him cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Erhu, I, Aye, said that the safety of the four of us will fall on you."

Yin Erhu looked around and said tremblingly, "How does this happen?"

Yun Jin smiled and said, "Aye said, with you here, everything will be fine."

Yin Erhu saluted and said: "My lord has high regard for Erhu."

Yun Jin said with some embarrassment again: "Aniang said that if any of the four of us has a problem, she will unscrew your dog's head herself."

Yin Erhu smiled slightly, pointed to the empty Dongyang Inn and said, "Young Master might as well live here."

Yun Jin shook her head and said, "I can't live here. Sisi wants to win people's hearts and build a model district here. I want to help her."

Yin Erhu was stunned for a moment and said, "What is a model area?"

Yun Jin smiled and said, "The villagers help each other!"
