Chapter 730: Righteous Hero

Went out and got into the car, the smile on Xun Yu's face quickly dissipated, and he lay on the car, squinting his eyes, looking at the pedestrians on the side of the road.

The New Year is approaching, and the pedestrians on the road are walking fast and hurrying. Most of them were ragged and had dishes on their faces, but they were very calm. A few months ago, when he first arrived in Chang'an, this was not the case, when the people did not see hope, and ran every day for the next meal, in order to survive, they did not hesitate to take risks, and looked at people with eyes similar to wild beasts, full of danger. Jing Zhaoyin had to send people to drag away the starving people every day, ranging from a dozen to hundreds. The establishment of the workshop has solved the problem of making a living for many people, and the people can eat and settle down, and Jing Zhaoyin has not met anyone who has starved to death for a long time.

Xun Yu's mood unconsciously lightened. No matter how many problems there are, it can feed hundreds of thousands of people, and that's the result. If not, how could Chang'an be stable, and how could it become the foundation of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Hungry all over the field, easy to eat, it won't be long before Chang'an will become a mass grave.

"Don't run, don't run." There was a shouting from the side of the road, and a teenager rushed past the car and nearly hit the horse. He was short and got under the horse's belly. A woman chased after her, screaming in fright, but she didn't dare to get over like a young man, so she quickly stopped and hurriedly saluted Xun Yu in the carriage. The carriage drove over, and Xun Yu heard the woman shouting from a distance: "What's the use of reading, can those empty words of Zi Shiyun be eaten as food?" Tomorrow I will go to the Jin Family Workshop to find something to do, learn a craft, and if I become a craftsman in the future, I will earn no less than the county order......"

Xun Yu's mood when he had just gotten better disappeared all of a sudden, and his heart was like pressing a big stone, heavy. He turned, glanced at the woman, and sighed. The driver who was driving said with a smile: "Lingjun, don't look at it, this kind of thing is normal." Whether it is reading or working, it is all for eating, and few people can have the world in mind like Ling Jun. Instead of letting them go to school, let them go to work. ”

Xun Yu was surprised and glanced at the coachman. "You also think you shouldn't read?"

The coachman raised his whip, and it made a crisp explosion, but the tip of the whip did not touch the horse at all. The horse trotted up and pulled the chariot forward.

"Ling Jun, I didn't mean that, to govern the world, of course, you still need readers. Without Lingjun, how could Chang'an settle down. But for many people, even if they read, they can't become Lingjun, reading is the way to make a living, and the difference between working is easy and face-saving, and the way of the sage is just talking. This is still good, when you meet those who have bad character and have power in their hands, not only can they not talk about serving the king, but they may also bully the small people, and it may be better for such people not to study. Let them work and support themselves, which is somewhat useful. ”

Xun Yu felt reasonable. "Have you read a book?"

"I know a few words, but I don't dare to say that I have read a book." The coachman laughed and said, "Don't hide it from Lingjun, I also did a lot of evil things in order to survive a few days ago. Ling Jun changed the law, built a lot of workshops, and had a way to live, so I abandoned evil and followed good. The old mother at home was grateful to Ling Jun for his kindness and asked me to come to Chang'an to be a coachman, saying that if I had the opportunity to drive for Ling Jun, I would never be able to collect money, so you should not give me money later, otherwise I would not be able to explain to my mother, and I would be scolded when I went back. ”

Xun Yu glanced at the coachman. The coachman was about thirty years old, tall and burly, with a rough face, and indeed a bit of bravery. "I'm already an adult, and I'm still afraid of my mother's scolding?"

The coachman raised an eyebrow. "No matter how old she is, her mother is still an old mother after all. Although I don't read much, I still understand this truth. ”

Xun Yu sighed with emotion. "There will be faithfulness in the town of ten rooms. Dare to ask the high surname of the foot. ”

The coachman laughed loudly. "Don't dare, don't dare. Lingjun, you can lift me up. How can I have a big name, my surname is Bao, a native of Xinfeng County. If you've been to Xinfeng, you've probably heard my name. ”

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and laughed. "It's you. Although I have never been to Xinfeng, I have heard your name, but I have never seen it. Fortunately, fortunately. ”

"Haha, it's humiliating to make Jun Qing listen to it, ashamed and ashamed."

Xun Yu chatted with Bao Chu and asked Bao Chu about the situation at home. Bao Chu's father died early, and his widowed mother brought up the five brothers, and he was the third. Originally, the family was in difficulty, the land had already been sold, the widowed mother helped others to make up for laundry and pulp, and the two brothers did some odd jobs when they became adults, and their lives were better. Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, Chang'an was in chaos, the rich people ran away, and they had no chance to do odd jobs, so they had to pick up wild vegetables and pick Peng rice, and later there were more and more people in Luoyang, and the wild vegetables and Peng rice were gone, so in order to survive, they had to be thieves. Bao Chu is a famous ranger in Xinfeng, quite prestigious, and has a widowed mother in charge, he didn't dare to do anything to make money and kill people, so he organized a group of people to eat black. Recently, Chang'an changed the law and built a lot of workshops, and the five brothers all entered the workshop to work, and their lives were settled. The widowed mother was grateful to Xun Yu, so she asked Bao to come out of Chang'an to catch the car. Hearing that Xun Yu was on an errand in the palace, Bao Chu was guarding at the palace gate, hoping to have the opportunity to serve Xun Yu.

Xun Yu sighed with emotion, and didn't know what to say for a while. His original intention of changing the law was for the sake of the imperial court, and he never thought of these ordinary people, but it was these people who were most grateful to him. Bao Zhu actually rushed from Xinfeng to Chang'an to catch the car. Xinfeng is not close to Chang'an, and Bao Chu stayed at the gate of the palace, giving up a lot of opportunities and making a lot of money.

"Bao Jun, how can I afford to do this......

"Ling Jun doesn't have to be like this. It is my honor to be able to drive for Ling Jun. There are many people in Chang'an City who want to serve Ling Jun, and Ling Jun doesn't go out of the palace very much, not everyone has this opportunity. Haha, this time, I am also famous in Chang'an, I don't know how many rangers are willing to make me a friend. Ling Jun, don't be polite later, if I accept your money, I will be scolded. ”

Xun Yu smiled, was silent for a moment, and said, "Bao Jun, are there many righteous heroes like you in Chang'an?" ”

"Righteous heroes?" Bao Chu turned his head and glanced at Xun Yu and laughed. "Lingjun, you're too polite."

"There is still a way to steal, let alone a chivalry." Xun Yu said lightly: "Bao Jun, I want to ask you to be my attendant, are you willing?" ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. I want to find some righteous people like you to go in and out of the market for me and understand the people's livelihood. As you know, I spend most of my time in the palace and have limited knowledge of what is going on outside. If you can help me gather some information, so that I can know more about people's livelihood, I can have a better idea and think more carefully about what to do. ”

"Okay, I can't ask for it if I can serve Lingjun. Within three days, I replied to Ling Jun. I don't dare to say that there are more, there are always twenty or thirty people. ”

Xun Yu nodded, and unconsciously straightened his waist. Bao Chu grabbed the reins, and the carriage slowly stopped. Situ Fu has arrived.
