"Killing a cow?" The surrounding people subconsciously shivered, and the women's faces were full of panic, as if they were about to cry: "Your Highness, killing cattle is a big crime, and it will be brought to the official family for interrogation!" ”

Han Yue was slightly stunned, he hadn't thought about this problem.

The woman was pitiful and said: "The management of the slave's hometown is particularly strict, there was a liquor shop selling sick beef that fell to death, and the store was sentenced to three years in prison, and all the money was fined, and the store was originally a famous rich man in ten miles and eight towns, but because of this lawsuit, the whole family collapsed in a blink of an eye, his wife sold the land to save him, and his daughter also married to the poorest mud village......

When she said this, she couldn't help but shudder, and said in fear: "The slave family can't kill the cow, and the slave family can't kill the cow." Your Highness, please return the bonds to me, those income slaves don't want it, I only ask for fifty yuan of capital, okay? ”

Han Yue couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling that he was doing bad things with good intentions.

At this moment, someone behind him suddenly whispered: "Dean, you are indeed in a bit of a hurry in this matter, not to mention whether the killing of cattle will be punished, just losing money and trading these people can't bear it." ”

Han Yue slowly turned his head and found a fifteen or sixteen-year-old scholar standing behind him, holding an account book in his hand, wearing a uniform issued by the research institute, and his face still had the shame and restraint unique to teenagers, but when he spoke, he had a confidence from the heart.

Han Yue smiled and beckoned, "Come and sit down and tell this king the truth!" ”

"Don't dare!" The little scholar hurriedly bowed his hand, blushing and said: "The dean is erudite and talented, the students dare not make axes in the class, the disciple's words just now are not accusations, I just provide the dean with a reference for governance......

He stretched out his hand and rubbed the corners of his clothes, and said abruptly: "As for reasoning in front of you, this is not a skill that students can have, if you let the seniors in the academy know, I'm afraid you will spray me with blood!" ”

Han Yue smiled leisurely and encouraged: "It's okay, in the past, Confucius had clouds, threesomes, there must be my teacher, there is no omniscient and all-powerful saint in the world, besides, this king is not a saint, I also have a place that I can't see, and there are times when I am not thoughtful, you can talk about what you think in your heart, and our master and apprentice will work together to find a way out for the people." ”

The little scholar still has some period Ai Ai, obviously there is a trace of introversion in his personality, just now he hid behind and dared to speak out, but now he is stared at by Han Yue but has no courage.

Han Yue's eyes were gentle, and he suddenly said with deep meaning: "You are from Huainan Dao, right?" ”

The little scholar nodded hurriedly and said loudly: "Back to the dean, the disciple is from Huainan Dao!" ”

He looked at Han Yue with a deep admiration in his eyes, and said softly: "The student lost his parents since he was a child, and five years ago he followed the old beggar in the township to Chang'an to escape the famine, and happened to meet the dean leading the people out of the customs to establish a mutual market, at that time the disciple was just a ten-year-old ignorant little beggar, and the old beggar who led me to die of illness grabbed my hand fiercely, so that no matter how hard it is, I must keep up with the dean's migration army, otherwise a ten-year-old baby will definitely starve to death by begging." ”

The little scholar's eyes were obviously full of tears, and his tone gradually became choked, and he whimpered: "It was a year when the fate of the student changed, if it were not for your research institute, the student really didn't know where he would be now, and he might have died on the road of begging." ”

Han Yue stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, but suddenly his eyes flickered slightly, and he quipped: "This king almost did something wrong, and your girl is not well-behaved, and she is wearing a boy's school uniform, so I didn't notice it for a while." ”

The little scholar wiped the corners of his eyes, although there were tears in his eyes, he smiled on his face, and said: "The dean is like a father in the hearts of the students, it's okay if you pat me on the shoulder, the disciple is not yet in time, you can treat me as a daughter......

Han Yue nodded, and finally stretched out his hand, but instead of patting the little scholar on the shoulder, he gently stroked her forehead, and said leisurely: "This king has already accepted two righteous daughters, you and I have no father-daughter relationship, but don't be sad, there has been a father-son friendship between master and apprentice since ancient times." ”

The little scholar's eyes narrowed slightly, her forehead was gently caressed by Han Yue's big hand, her little face showed happiness and admiration, and she said softly: "The dean strokes my top, and the hair is ...... to be immortal."

Han Yue laughed, and bounced his finger on her forehead, pretending to be frightened: "The little guy actually changed the poems randomly, obviously it was the immortals who touched my top, and the hair was immortalized, this is a book of poems compiled by this king, don't bully me and forget." ”

The little scholar smiled sweetly and said with a grin: "In the eyes of the disciple, the dean is an omnipotent immortal, and you have pulled the disciple out of the sea of suffering, which is to give me immortality." There were tears in the corners of her eyes, but there was happiness on her face,

"Naughty!"

Han Yue gently helped her straighten the hair at the corners of her forehead, feeling that this was a lively and cheerful girl, and seeing her introverted color before was due to her miserable experience in childhood.

"My Datang children live too hard, I really hope they can grow up happily, don't be like you, but they are devastated by poverty, and finally develop a cautious and introverted personality......"

The little scholar was silent for a long time before he said quietly: "Dean has this heart, the disciple understands, but unfortunately our learning is still too slow, and we can't help you achieve great things." ”

Han Yue's eyes were leisurely, and he said in a deep voice: "There are thousands of big things in the world, all of them come from small things, our masters and apprentices work hard bit by bit, and there will always be a day when a little bit of it will add up." ”

The little scholar bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Listen to the teacher's words, if you hear the voice of the sage, the disciple will definitely remember the teachings of the dean, and I will try to start doing things bit by bit." ”

"Very good!" Han Yue nodded slowly, his eyes showed a look of memory, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the woman next to him, and asked the little scholar: "This sister-in-law is afraid of the crime of killing cattle, but you are thinking about losing money in business, this king has been thinking about this matter for a long time and has not figured it out, while it is still early, you can reason with me." ”

The little scholar smiled and said shyly: "Actually, the reason is very simple, mainly because of poverty!" ”

"Poor?" Han Yue's face was slightly stunned, and there was a faint guess in his heart.

The little scholar meekly sat on the steps below Han Yue, looked at Han Yue with a smile on his face, and said: "Our Huainan Road has always been poor, and it is the three poor places in the Tang Dynasty, and these three places are Hebei Road, Lingnan Road, and Huainan Road. Among them, Hebei Province is poor because of the war, Lingnan Road is poor because of remoteness, and our Huainan Road is because there are many rivers in the territory, the people are poor, and there is no boat to cross the river, so many people have been nested in the countryside all their lives, and they have not left their hometown within 20 miles until they die. ”

Han Yue nodded slowly, and said thoughtfully: "If people can't travel far, business travel will naturally be lacking, and if the business industry is not developed, guarding the land of fish and rice will also be poor!" ”

The little scholar sighed and sighed faintly: "So Huainan Road has been very poor since ancient times......

She glanced at Han Yue, and then explained: "The disciple just said that this is the truth that the people are losing money in business, you let this sister-in-law exchange for beef cattle slaughter, although the back door has been opened for her, but she still loses money when she goes back." A living ploughing cow can be sold for five times, but it is not worth the money after slaughter! ”

The more she spoke, the more courageous she became, and her little face gradually showed a confident momentum, and said: "Dean, let's set up an analogy, based on a ploughing cow of 1,800 catties, after slaughtering almost 1,000 catties of beef, how much income can you calculate?" ”

Han Yue frowned and smiled bitterly, pretending to be angry and said: "You know that this king doesn't like arithmetic, and you dare to ask me about my income, the little girl should be beaten, you can quickly say the answer, this king listens." ”

The little scholar grinned, revealing two white little tiger teeth, and said mischievously: "The dean is erudite and a celestial, and the arithmetic of the research institute is still passed down by you, how can you say that you hate arithmetic?" ”

Han Yuehu scared her with a face, and snorted: "Don't talk nonsense, that arithmetic textbook is written by Master Benwang, that is, your master Ziyang Zhenren, don't confuse it and make people laugh." Don't make trouble, little doll, quickly continue to say to this king......"

The little scholar giggled a few times, covered his mouth with his hand and said, "The dean is the best at fooling people!" She rolled her eyes quietly, and said slyly: "If you ask, I will do it, but the student is about to be married, the Tang woman has no name, but the disciple wants to be like a man, and I also want to have a word." It's a pity that no one dares to give this kind of word to a woman, but you can, dean. ”

In ancient times, men had words, which were generally given by their elders, but women's status was poor, not to mention giving words, and they could only be called so-and-so after marriage.

Han Yue nodded directly and said, "You tell the truth well, if this king is satisfied with listening, he will definitely give you a word, so that you can be like a male student." ”

The little scholar was overjoyed, and hurriedly shook his spirits, and his beautiful willow eyebrows frowned from time to time, obviously carefully organizing the language.

Han Yue was amused when he saw it, in fact, he had already figured out all the truths, but at this time, there were many Huainan Dao people around who were panicking and suspicious, and it might not be appropriate for him to explain as a prince, it was better to let the little scholar explain.

"Dean, let's start with beef, 1,800 catties of cultivated cattle, after slaughtering, you can produce 1,000 catties of beef, if it is cooked again, I'm afraid it will only be 700 catties. In the two cities of Chang'an and Shenyang, the most prosperous cities in my Tang Dynasty, a pound of cooked beef can be sold for ten yuan, so seven hundred catties of beef is seven thousand yuan, and the official price is seven guan, according to the conversion of eight hundred yuan of folk hanging, it is about less than nine yuan......"

"Then make a compromise, according to the eight!" Han Yue suddenly spoke, pretending to be angry and said: "A live ploughing cow is worth five guan, but after slaughtering, there are eight guan, your female baby is obviously not good at studying, and just now she even said that it is worthless to die." ”

The surrounding people nodded frequently, and they all felt that Han Yue was right, and what the little scholar said was wrong, and some people couldn't help but say angrily: "In the end, the master is still powerful, although this little gentleman is smart, but unfortunately he hasn't learned it yet." ”

Xiao Shusheng was born in his chest, and he didn't annoy the people about her, but just smiled at Han Yue: "The dean has neglected the labor of slaughtering cattle, the cost of cooking meat, the cost of selling, and the constraints of time......

A cow goes from slaughtering to meat, then to cooking and selling, and finally turns into copper coins, which seems to have eight runs, but in fact it is just gross profit. It also involves the time of sale, and if it cannot be sold for a long time, it must be a loss-making transaction.

The little scholar sighed faintly, and said a little gloomily: "If it is in Guannei Road and Shenyang City, the people will definitely be able to make money by killing cattle, but Huainan Road will not succeed, the students' hometowns are poor and poor, and the people can't afford to eat ten pennies a pound of beef." ”

She raised her little face to look at Han Yue, and said solemnly: "This is the reason why the student reminded the dean loudly, you kindly let this sister-in-law exchange beef cattle, but ignore the suffering of the people, if the people really want to change the beef cattle to go back, I am afraid that they will lose all their money, and their families will collapse." ”

She thought for a while, and then said: "Also, Datang's sturdy ploughing cattle are only worth five times, that is because they can plow the fields and work, this Liaodong beef cattle can only be slaughtered and eaten for meat, and the dean, you even set a price of five times, which seems to make the people suffer." And ......"

The more the little scholar spoke, the more energetic he became, and then said: "This sister-in-law has fifty war bonds, but you only give her ten cows and two bulls, even if you don't have five bonds, it is only sixty yuan, which is not the minimum exchange income at all, and you let her transport it back by herself......"

While speaking, he forgot for a moment that the person in front of him was the dean, and when he thought of the suffering of the people, his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of accusation, and he suddenly came to his senses, quickly stuck out his tongue, and hung his forehead in shame.

After her analysis, the surrounding people felt more and more that the exchange of beef cattle was a danger, and many people cautiously took a few steps back, holding the corners of their clothes with their hands, but their eyes looked pitifully at the group of foot soldiers behind Han Yue, who had promised to exchange and had already handed over the bonds.

Han Yue's eyes swept slightly, taking in the expressions of the people, he slowly stretched out three fingers, and said lightly: "This king has three explanations, which can also be regarded as three-handed preparations, as long as we act according to the rules, we will definitely not let the people suffer." ”
