Chapter 574: Thousands of rocks and beacon fires are connected to the sea (continued three)

After the war, many families had already hung white banners to pay tribute to their dead families; and when people stood on the city, they looked like there were many frost spots out of thin air.

And among the city walls, the civilians who were set fire to fire before the Dongchuan army were defeated and left were like ugly scattered scattered in the once exquisite, prosperous, rich, beautiful and romantic Jinguan City.

However, compared with the people outside the high city walls, the scholars and people in this city are relatively lucky. Because in the vast suburbs outside the east gate of Chengdu and the north gate, Qiang soldiers from Yazhou and other places are "receiving" their reward for helping the king.

Because, for a while, the small court and the army could not provide enough rewards and rewards to drive them, and they temporarily gave them food and supplies to the countryside.

So, the Qiang soldiers who had killed and surrounded the battlefield before broke into villages and towns near Chengdu in groups, shouting happily "reward with the order" and snatching away everything they could see and like.

For a time, the roads outside the city were filled with bottles, jars, scrolls, and continuous figures of fur hats and animal clothes. During this period, the crying of countless children of scholars and citizens shook the sky, and even if they were walking deep inside the city, they could hear it.

However, as a great hero who served the king and rescued the emperor, and as the most powerful figure in the city, Tian Lingzi, the left Privy Councilor and Lieutenant Shence, the envoy of Xuanhuiyuan, and Chen Jingxuan, the governor of Xichuan, were planning another matter in great enthusiasm.

"This life and death juncture has finally passed. Now the Holy Lord has agreed to the joint camp of the remnants of the escort army into the new Shence army... You should know what to do next."

The swelling on his face had almost subsided, and Tian Lingzi returned to his kind-hearted and kind-hearted attitude.

"Don't worry, brother, I will open the secret warehouses in the inner yamen and the mansion to ensure that all the branches and uses are safe."

Chen Jingxuan also nodded quickly and responded.

"This is not enough. Be more cautious in your actions, at least you should keep your face in the Holy Lord. In this way, even if you have any traces of your actions, it is said that we are the reason why we are living in the inner world to serve the country."

Tian Lingzi continued to mention

"In addition, the city should be covered with scoops and scrambled one stroke, and we cannot always accept everything; and in the process, in addition to the sacred lord and the kings, we can also reduce the cost of repeated remissions as appropriate, which is the time when we are together to go through difficulties."

Of course, as the chief official in charge of the tribute and tribute from inside and outside and from all over the country, how could he not be able to provide enough rewards? It is just that compared to using this money to appease the outside of the city, those barbarian soldiers who do not understand education and only know the interests quickly transform into sufficient military evidence for their own ability to withstand their own.

"I understand. I'll sell all the other industries and restaurants in Xishan, Qingcheng, and others, so that they won't leave other people's words."

Chen Jingxuan suddenly understood it.

Then, the news that a messenger was brought in made Tian Lingzi's face twitch, and then he said to Chen Jingxuan with a slight smile:

"That Gao Renhou is really kind-hearted... You have chosen a good favorite..."

"Brother! How do you say this..."

Chen Jingxuan couldn't help but lose his shock

"This newly promoted Dongchuan Queen, but on the grounds of being exhausted, I asked to postpone it for a while before I could make some contributions."

Tian Lingzi continued to smile and said.

"I can't get out the money for only a hundred thousand yuan. If I get the official honor in the future, wouldn't I have to help him with some money?"

"It's outrageous. I will go to the book and scold this ungrateful person immediately, and then summon all the soldiers and horses of Xichuan..."

Chen Jingxuan immediately said erotic.

"No, don't scold him. Instead, you should send someone to praise and praise him. His kindness and love for the people is best known to everyone."

However, Tian Lingzi smiled brighter and brighter.

"But the next charter will change. Send people to pacify the Qiang soldiers first, which may be of use in the future... No, you can go there in person."

——I am the dividing line—

In Fangzhou, upstream of Kongyang Water in Shangyong County, Du Xunhe, a former Jingzhao student sitting on a movable ox cart, also arrived at a branch of the Yingtian District established by the local area with this newly dispatched work team. However, it is very different from the decaying or desolate villages that happened to happen along the way.

Here, it is not a low and ragged wooden fence that can barely block wild animals, but a rammed earth enclosure with chest-high and hardness, and is then inserted into wooden stakes that are carefully cut to the same size. They are nailed together with thick primary color plates, which are 1 meter tall and make people feel at ease.

The common barn is filled with yellow new wheat, full of solid wood and rammed earth houses, rather than the kind of nests that are mostly dug out to cover thatch. In the gaps under the walls, columns and eaves, thick mixed mud is also filled and powdered to a grayish color, which looks both windproof and warm.

Although a few people from the village who were in and out were still thin, their faces were not hungry or bitter. Their every move was also excited and energetic, and the utensils they held were almost all shining iron products.

Every household has chickens and ducks under the corridors, and there are many large animals in the farmland. Some of them have goats and piglets in the houses; there are bunches of squid and smoked fish hanging outside the house, and underneath are stacked with old-high forage, half-buried wine sauce, and salt and vegetable jars;

It happened that it was late meal time, and smoke rose from the chimneys of every household. It was a quiet and peaceful village view. After verifying their identities, the more than 20 people in their group were also led to the largest building in the village, and the yard of the ancestral hall with traces of the original Honda main house.

Here, with the sound of knocking on the board, the villagers gathered in the open air, had already piled up stoves and pots, and poured the rice and pasta ingredients sent by each family into the gradually boiling soup.

"I'll pick the biggest one... I'm so reluctant to let go. If you think about the luck given by who gave them all...."

The lame old man who was responsible for receiving them was also full of energy, shaking his stick and shouting at the women who came out to help the kitchen.

"It's too much, and it's a waste if you can't eat it... Everything has a fixed quota."

The leader with a wide face and wide forehead quickly refused to say.

But the old man who was obviously enthusiastic could not resist the obvious enthusiasm. He instructed the women to fill the steamer with various stewed chicken and fish from their homes to fill the steamer pot with the steamer, and piled it up on the edge. Then he covered it with satisfaction, while fiddling with the stove with thick firewood slices:

"Then let's take it on the road. If you go to remote areas, you may not be hungry and full. It's certain that I'm right."

So Du Xunhe and others had oil on their mouths, and they kept burping their throats while touching their stomachs. They only regretted that they had drunk too much soup to quench their thirst and secretly ate their own dried bean buns. Even if he had never eaten so much in Chang'an for so many years, he felt that he had never eaten so much.

Especially the stewed soup rice in the pot, the thick oil and gravy dripping after steaming, without any flavor or side dishes, is simply the most delicious meal in the world.

However, in the end, the team leader did not think too much about taking advantage of the farm. In addition to routinely signing the hospitality note according to the head of the person, he also gave a few more cloth tickets that could be received at the supply and marketing cooperative as a discount and registered them in the public book account.

Then, at night, they lit the portable candles they brought with them, and used the tables in the temple to put them in the yard, and began to read them to the farmers who gathered, and carried the latest information and new measures and other publicity materials. Of course, this was mainly the task of Du Xunhe, the scholar who read the most literate.

After they dispersed, the team leader took out the booklets distributed by the Taiping Army and took turns to preach and study with each other. It was not until the first sound that Du Xunhe was able to sleep in the dark with all his heart.

The next morning, after waking up with the sound of the striking of the board by the worker, Du Xunhe, who was still a little confused, also clumsily packed up the tables and straw mats that were spread out in the accommodation office and temple, and then stuck them up and stood them aside. He immediately felt sweaty and slowly woke up.

After he squeezed into the crowd of people wearing sweat towels, holding iron food boxes, dipped his fingers into tea stems and grinding his teeth, he finished a simple washing of his forehead, and had already prepared breakfast food outside.

Although it was a simple large pot of mixed rice porridge and a pancake that was pasted under the stove, many dried potatoes and melon strips were added, and the rice porridge left with the bottom of the pot last night was thick enough to stick to chopsticks; the pancake was also baked with salt and salty and fragrant. Then rolled with handfuls of frozen crispy green onion, which was quite delicious when eaten with dipping sauce.

During this period, you can even see some elderly people in the houses who cleaned and wiped them regardless of their age. If someone wants to come forward to help or do it on his behalf, it seems like he was insulted and wronged, and he complained loudly on the spot.

"This is the glorious labor advocated by the Grand Governor's Office. No matter how old, young, female and child can understand it, they must do their jobs to have a basic food in their mouths."

The honest-looking leader comforted Du Xunhe, who was at a loss.

"The Taiping Army has been a little rich in recent years, but the missionary masters from above also made it clear; the food that everyone has worked hard to grow is not used to support lazy people and to promote the atmosphere of gaining something for nothing."

"Of course, more work and more income are the right thing. If the output of the farmhouse can exceed the average line of that year, the share of grain can be reduced or exempted as appropriate, and the more productive the family will be reduced or exempted."

After breakfast, they had a routine simple fuck and sang "The Song of Self-improvement for Men" again. When they were packing up and walked out of the yard with ox carts and other carriages, they found that someone had already rushed before them and gathered outside the gate at the entrance of the village.

However, some children with horns or braids all wore a plain cloth trouser (vl) with crooked words written on it, and then they began to line up and points in a sequential manner, and finally went out under the leading small flag.

"Why is this again?"

Du Xunhe asked in surprise again.

"These kids went to the boy camp in Zuojin Central Village to work. They only had half a day of work and half a day of practice, and they would be given food and learn to read in the evening. They would only come back in five days. But we happened to meet them."

The captain patiently explained to him again.

Only then did Du Xunhe notice that since he moved in, he had not seen any children in other ordinary villages, who were both ass, mixed with thin free-range pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, playing with the muddy ground.

"If the granaries are full, you will know etiquette; if you will know honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing."
