"Nan Bodhisattva said that anyone who thinks of us here is his people and must be treated equally."
"Those refugees are lucky."
What the people talk about is the recent influx of refugees from Tongzhou.
For the common people, nothing happens in a year that can be used to chat and talk about, but once in a while, they can talk for a long time.
Now their life is getting better and better, the children at home are sent to the school, and the parents are not delayed to go to work. How long they go to work every day, the time is fixed, unlike before, the work is a whole day, when do you say Let go before you can go, now it's different, someone cares!
Their days have changed for the better. Seeing the people pouring in from the outside, they feel a sense of pride in their hearts and they become more forgiving.
Because they were the common people under Lin Yuan's rule, Nan Bodhisattva became more and more famous, and they also had a sense of honor.
The woman’s family lives in Taizhou, and they didn’t hide it. Everyone who lived around knew that they were sisters-in-law. The atmosphere of Taizhou is not as good as that of Gaoyou. It is still rare for women to set up households. It's not that the family really has no sons and no relatives, and they won't choose to recruit children.
But the job is still easy to find. Several of their wives are from landlord families. They can read and write, so they all go to the job of transcribing, taking care of three meals a day, and they can burn charcoal in winter and have ice in summer. Even when they were girls, life was about the same.
The woman didn't understand, and asked the female teacher: "Even if you can read and write again, you are also a woman. How can a woman do a man's work?"
The female teacher looked at her with a smile: "Then you give this job to a man, will you do it?"
On the one hand, a woman feels that it is not good for her to occupy a man's life, but on the other hand, she is reluctant to do such work. How expensive is paper and pencil. When she was not married, the paper and pencil at home were given to her brothers. It's all the waste paper of the brothers.
Female teacher: "Since I asked you to do this, you can do it with peace of mind, and you don't have to use this to test me. The adults above don't know the truth better than us? You do your work well, do it well, and the benefits will naturally be there. , if you don't do well, there are so many people who want to top you. Instead of thinking about it, it's better to do more things, and it's better to go up."
The woman's eyes widened: "Up?"
Female teacher: "I was promoted. Originally, like you, I did the job of transcribing. After two years of doing it, the person above said that I was diligent, so I was promoted and became a female teacher."
The woman said cautiously, "What is the difference between becoming a female teacher and now?"
The female teacher smiled a little complacently: "You are 600 yuan a month, and I am 3 yuan a month. What's the difference?"
Three bucks!
The woman swallowed.
She didn't pay attention to this when the family was undefeated before.
At the end of the year, there are four or five coins for rewarding the people who are close to you.
But since the family failed, she has never seen so much silver again.
The woman hurriedly said, "Then I'm going back to work, I'll leave now!"
She bowed to the female teacher and returned to the house with a gust of wind under her feet.
When Lin Yuan found out that there were people with little family wealth among the people who fled from Tongzhou, he knew that the time had come. At this time, it was the least cost to go to Tongzhou. The people of Tongzhou were complaining. Those who dared to run ran away, and those who dared not run , I am afraid that he will run away soon. Tongzhou Zhizhou, whoever is smarter, will not let the people flee.
But it is not enough to force the gate blindly.
The people have the wisdom of the people.
Most of them went out of the city on the grounds of visiting relatives, and they would go back the first two times. When the guards of the city relaxed their vigilance, they ran away with their family assets.
- Unlike the poor, these wealthy people are the important pillars to ensure the economic cycle of Tongzhou.
Losing these people is like the bones of a person being pulled away one by one, Tongzhou is crumbling, and it only needs a little force to immediately fall and fall apart.
At this time, Li Congrong had already ordered troops to go out, and Luo Ben was the military advisor. This time they used the old method, surrounding but not fighting. Yes, they accept it, turn around and send it to Gaoyou or Taizhou. Tongzhou officials want to leave the city? Then I'm sorry, you are all big people, how can you run around
As for the soldiers of Tongzhou...
Lu Hui sent troops to attack outside the city, but the huge catapult was placed there. They moved a little and countless explosives exploded at the city gate. After several attempts, Lu Hui could only be trapped in Tongzhou.
Even if you want to send someone to the court to ask for help - you can't get out of Tongzhou.
What's more, the troops of the imperial court are now concentrated in the Anfeng area. If they ask for help, at most they can only ask for the nearby cities and counties. How many troops can they have? But the mantis arm stops the moment.
"You! You gave me a good idea!" Lu Hui pointed at the nose of the acquaintance in the prefecture's office and scolded, "What do you mean when the poor and lowly go away, and the rich and rich are left behind! Let's look at it now. Look! The rich are gone too! Those big households alone? Will those big households be willing to give me money and grain to support my troops?"
Tongzhi is also wronged. He realizes that his idea is good, but no matter how good his idea is, there will always be times when things go wrong. It can't be blamed on him, only Nan Bodhisattva is too treacherous!
"Sir, this is the end of the matter." Tongzhi lowered his head and said, "There is no food, and the big families can't go out. They say that they have a lot of money, and they can take out the money, but the food cannot be eaten."
Lu Hui's eyes widened: "Are my soldiers dead? If they don't give them, they won't send soldiers to get them?"
Tongzhi was taken aback: "Isn't that a robbery?"
Lu Hui spat at him: "Then you can think of a way for me to come up with it. It won't work or it won't work? If I kill you, the meat is not enough for the soldiers in my hand to eat one bite!"
Tongzhi thought of his family's money and food, and quickly said, "It's still your way, sir, I don't know anything about it, so don't bother with me."
Lu Hui snorted and asked his soldiers to go to the big households for food that day.
These soldiers can't beat the besieged city, but it is not difficult to deal with the big families who only have family members.
At the beginning, the big households still gave food. After all, there are fierce gods outside, and no one wants to die for food.
But the soldiers came more and more frequently, and they asked for more and more food. Once they came and went, their own food was about to bottom out.
The big family gathered together and discussed the countermeasures.
"Also let him know that we are not easy to bully."
"Nurtured his appetite, aren't we the ones suffering?"
"Without food, we will starve to death."
"You have to think about it."
"I have a magic medicine, after taking it, it can make people become immortals in their sleep."
"This medicine is good, but I don't know how to tell him to take it."
"What's so difficult about this? His concubine was given by me."
"Brother Zhao Gao Yi, Brother Zhao Gao Yi!"
"If Brother Zhao asks for anything in the future, don't dare to say goodbye!"
Lu Hui is not greedy for pleasure in women's sex. He only has one wife and two concubines, and he does not support any tricks. His wife is appointed by his parents.
One of the concubines was to fill the seat. A good concubine from the common people served the mistress and Lv Hui. Although she was not beautiful, she was gentle and careless.
Another concubine was given by the Zhao family. Lu Hui didn't want it. The court ordered the woman to accept the woman sent by the next person. If it was spread out, it would be enough to refer to his book, but the woman really tempted him. Heart and soul, sometimes gentle and careless, sometimes arrogant and self-willed, and sometimes generous, where is this one woman, this is like a dozen women.
Not to mention that this woman is proficient in both calligraphy and painting, and she was a virgin when she gave it to him, so Lu Hui could only take the risk to admit it.
After entering the door, he was in his wife's room on the tenth day of the first month, and in the concubine's room for another twenty days, and the other concubine became a decoration.
He was unhappy outside, and when he returned to his house, he headed into the room of the concubine's room. The concubine was wearing a red gauze skirt and had long hair pulled in, but it was not as straight as the head wife, with a few strands of hair hanging down. , the ten fingers tugged the strings of the piano, holding it in a romantic manner. Seeing Lu Hui entering the door, the concubine smiled: "Your majesty is so majestic, is this door offending you?"
Lu Hui glanced at the door that was pushed open by him, and the irritability in his heart went away. He sat beside the concubine's room and held the concubine's hand, showing a rare look of weakness: "Now this Tongzhou, I'm afraid It's not very good, Jiao Er, it's hard for you to live like this with me."
The concubine Jiao Er shook her head: "Where is the lord, where is the slave, the bad days have never passed? It's a good life to be by the lord's side."
Lu Hui hugged Jiaoer's shoulder, Jiaoer's head rested on his shoulder, she smiled and showed affection, as if she truly loved this man, Lu Hui's hand slipped from her shoulder, Jiaoer's The belt slipped, and her fingertips touched Lu Hui's shoulder, pulling the distance between the two.
"Sir, you also have to pay attention to your body." Jiao'er frowned slightly, "Mrs. also reminded the slave earlier that no matter how favored the slave is, you must also consider the adult's body."
Lu Hui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "As I get older, it's true that I can't do anything."
Jiao Er said softly, "The slave got something good."
Lu Hui: "What?"
Jiao Er: "Do you know that Chen Banxian?"
The smile on Lu Hui's face became ambiguous. Chen Banxian was a specialist in aphrodisiac medicine, but no one who had taken the pills he made didn't say good things or hurt his body. It is not easy to ask him for medicine.
Jiao Er took out a box from her hand and unfolded it to show Lu Hui.
Lu Hui picked up the white pill and said to the servant outside, "Bring a dog."
Lu Hui broke off a little pill and fed it to the dog. Sure enough, she saw the dog was breathing heavily, walking with its four paws, and something popped out of its head.
"Sure enough!" Lu Hui swallowed the pill in one gulp, waved his hand, and took Jiao Er into his arms.
Jiao Er's arms wrapped around him like snakes, exhaling like a blue orchid: "Master loves slaves?"
Lu Hui is exerting her strength: "My dear, I'll tell you when the master has vented."
Jiao'er entangled Lu Hui, and after the rain stopped, Jiao'er shook some of the people lying on her body: "Sir?"
No one answered her.
Jiao Er stretched out her hand to probe Lu Hui's breath, and after confirming that the person was dead, she sneered and lifted the person away.
She walked to the window without an inch of thread, and said in a cold tone, "Tell Master, Thief Lu is dead."
