Chapter Seventy-Three: Man is but a commodity
Chapter Seventy-Three: Man is but a commodity
On the third day, Yun Zhao finally saw the clouds covered in soot.
The tall and thin man had just entered the door, and he collapsed to the ground, and was poured a pot of warm water by Yun Meng.
"Cleaned up?"
Yun Meng asked very urgently.
Yunxiao said in a hoarse voice: "One hundred and twenty-seven people, locked in a granary full of firewood, a fire!" ”
"Didn't slip through the net?"
"No, none of the 127 Black Wind Ridge troops I took away were left, and the Crescent Mountain Village was burned to the ground, and the fire also caused a mountain fire, which has not been extinguished now.
What happened to the leopard? ”
"I was rescued by Xiao Zhao, now I eat well, sleep well, and heal after the wound is removed, and I am still a fierce man."
Yunxiao looked at Yun Zhao, smiled and picked his thumb and said, "Yes, your Uncle Leopard didn't hurt you in vain." ”
Qian Shaoshao brought the wine and food, and ate like a wolf, eating, eating, eating, suddenly stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said: "It's a pity that I ran away, this is a trouble!" ”
Yun Meng smiled: "This is a helpless thing, there is no one left in the Black Wind Ridge now, even if he regrets the sky, even if he hates it in his heart, he will be alone."
There is no one left in the dragon robe and water, even if he is suspicious, there is no real evidence, and there is nothing he can do with us.
Yunhu said, when he attacked Crescent Mountain, there were a lot of spies around, when you burned the cottage, Yunhu withdrew his troops back to Qingyu as soon as possible, those spies wanted to go up the mountain, but they were stopped by the fire, it seems that they have given up this batch of food. ”
Yunxiao nodded and said: "I still have to think about this person, a broken household can gather thousands of people in two years, which should not be underestimated."
Although I don't know that it's us who have a grudge against him, I don't think this secret will be kept for long. ”
Yun Meng pressed his shoulder and said, "You eat well, and then take a bath and sleep, I will pay attention." ”
Yunxiao sighed and continued to eat.
Yun Zhao came out of the house, the clouded leopard was sitting under the eaves with his two daughters basking in the sun, and his whole body was curled up in the quilt, like an old cat.
His daughter would stuff him with a red date in his mouth and a walnut kernel at another, and the clouded leopard seemed to enjoy such a leisurely time, his eyes slightly closed, facing the sun, not letting go of any heat emitted by the sun.
"See the grain?" The clouded leopard didn't open its eyes, but it knew that the person who came was Yun Zhao.
"I did, not as much as I expected."
"What more can you ask for for a bandit cottage that can store 3,000 loads of food? With this food, we can ensure that our cottage will not starve to death for a year. ”
"The problem is that there seem to be more and more victims in front of Zhuangzi, and there are people who sell their children to eat."
The clouded leopard chuckled and said: "This is a good year, we will take over the children who can't be raised by other people's families, and they are from our family.
Among the few of us, except for your Uncle Meng, who is your real uncle, aren't we just the children adopted by your Uncle Meng's father?
After so many years, although we are not brothers, we are closer than brothers.
Xiao Zhao, you are young and have experienced few things, there is such a thing as selling children every year, and it is common for half-sized cubs to be not expensive.
Qian Shaoshao, that kid told me, you've been worrying about this matter lately, but you don't have to.
There are too many poor people in this world to count, how many can you save alone?
In the final analysis, it is all caused by natural disasters, these years, the weather has never been normal, the seedlings have just grown in the spring, and a hail can make the farmers' hard work for a year in vain.
A rainstorm in the summer, a frost in the autumn, this is not even a drought, a flood, a locust plague, and the earth dragon turning over.
As long as it is encountered, it is a famine, and if it is encountered, it is the years when people eat people.
In the past, when the emperor was not bad, the people had some savings in their hands, and if they suffered a disaster in one year, they would eat a little less, and if they suffered a disaster in two years, some people would starve to death, and if they suffered a disaster in three years, they would have to kill the farmer.
You know? This year, not counting our Weinanyuan, a huge pass, has been hit by disasters for six consecutive years.
It is said that the empty grain depot in Xi'an can starve rats to death, why does the official named Hong Chengchou not even let go of the little business you do, you should understand the truth.
The imperial court has given up Guanzhongdi, so don't worry about it, take care of the people in front of you, and you will already accumulate great virtue. ”
Yun Zhao pointed to his head and said: "You are right, as long as I am under my nose, I will not see people eating people, Uncle Leopard, people should eat noodles, millet, millet, livestock, poultry, and beasts, but they should not eat people." ”
The clouded leopard gave Yun Zhao a penetrating smile, and said with a smile: "Since people can live by eating people, you haven't thought about why God would arrange it like this?"
I don't understand other big truths, I just think that since cannibalism can live, then people should be a dish on the dinner table! ”
Yun Zhao had to admit that it was a very distressing thing to reason with the robbers, and as long as they were alive in their minds, they should use all means.
It's like they kill others like pigs in order to survive, without any guilt.
In this battle for grain, the Yun clan killed nineteen people, crippled thirty-one, and injured more than a hundred.
And the people in the Black Wind Ridge who regretted breaking through the sky died more than 600, and more than 400 people died on the side of the dragon robe water, plus the people who were burned to death on the Crescent Moon Mountain by the clouds, more than 1,000 people had died in a rough calculation.
The extra grain of the Yun clan should actually be the rations of the more than 1,000 dead people.
The reality is very cruel, but the data is very beautiful, from the perspective of war, in this war for grain, the Yun family is the real winner.
Nineteen of the dead companions had been buried at the foot of the bald mountain, and the nineteen new graves were still covered with white spirit flags, and the ashes of paper money given to the undead had not been blown away by the mountain wind.
These things do not represent those who were once alive, and when people die, there is nothing, and they are completely finished.
The new coffin made by Yun Zhao was inserted with a spirit flag, and the paper money burned was actually for the living, hoping to use these means to allow the living to continue to work for him.
Yun Zhao believes that the human mind is actually an electric wave, and he himself is an electric wave shuttling around the universe, but he just happened to find a blank body that can highly integrate his radio waves.
I thought that except for the people I cared about, the rest of the people were inconsequential people, and they were all props that could be squandered at will in a game.
The problem is that if you spend a long time with props, you will find that they are all living people.
As for the relief of the victims, it has long become an indispensable mission in his life, after all, he didn't do anything in his previous life, until he died, he did the work of poverty alleviation.
It is said that in another year, this great battle will come to an end, but Yun Zhao is killed by the last bullet before victory is about to come, as a famous two hundred and five generals said.
What a hell is this......
With the soles of your feet, you can think that after a great battle is won, the next step is to add officials to the knighthood......
Now, it's going to start from scratch again, and it's a fucking nightmare!
Fifty pounds of millet for a child, no two prices!
The child gives you, one less grain of millet and you are desperate!
Ignorant young children stood aside and cried, but their parents were busy measuring their millet with a bucket, and whenever Yunjia smoothed the mouth of the bucket with a scraper, there were always some people who asked Yunjia to put another bucket in a sharp voice, so that he could add some more millet to it.
"According to the laws of the imperial court, "setting up a strategy to lure a good man and selling a good man as a slave and maid" is the crime of distribution, and it is probably inappropriate for you Yun to buy and sell human beings like this! ”
Hong Chengchou, who was wearing a thick cotton robe, stood in front of the Yun family's high wall, and when he saw that the Yun Zhao family's human trafficking was so prosperous, he couldn't help but ridicule him.
In his own territory, Yun Zhao was naturally not afraid of Hong Chengchou, so he said sarcastically: "If you are a more competent official, there will not be so many people selling their sons and daughters here."
In addition, I heard my husband say that selling children and daughters is actually a disaster relief method invented by your government.
If you've read as many books as my husband, you should know where they came from! ”
Hong Chengchou sighed slightly and said: "The Book of Han Food and Goods records that in the early Han Dynasty, there was a great famine one year, and one stone of rice could be sold for 5,000 yuan, which was very expensive, and half of the victims starved to death, so that there was a human tragedy of "cannibalism".
For this reason, Liu Bang ordered the people to sell their children in exchange for life-saving food, which is the so-called "Gaozu is to make the people sell their children, and eat Shu Han." ”
Is this an allusion that your husband said? ”
Yun Zhao sneered: "My husband also said that after this irresponsible will was issued, there was a basis for buying and selling human beings, and it was never completely banned again."
Speaking of which, there should also be slaves and maids in your official's house, right? ”
Hong Chengchou arched his hand and said: "You have bought so many children in your family, it seems that you have a lot of food at home. ”
Yun Zhao shook his head, hugged a crying child into the carriage, and watched the carriage enter the high wall, before turning back to Hong Chengchou and saying: "Where there is a lot of food, it is nothing more than to be thrifty, save a mouthful of food for these children, lest they become a piece of meat in someone's pot!" ”
