Chapter 259: The common people will also pretend to be forced
Since ancient times, autumn is sad and lonely, I say that autumn is better than spring, and a crane is on the clouds in the clear sky, and the poetry will be introduced to the blue sky......
It's early autumn again, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is cool and slightly severe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the early morning of this day, the sun had just risen, and hundreds of thousands of people spontaneously gathered, all of them with excitement on their faces, and there was an invisible order in the noisy scene, as if they were quietly waiting for something.
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of clattering hooves in the distance, and a white-haired old donkey swayed and appeared in everyone's sight.
"It's coming, it's coming, our lord is here!"
Hundreds of people's eyes lit up, looking at the boy eagerly and expectantly.
"Have you heard? Hou Ye is going to blow up the entire ancient city this time, and then build a giant city on top of it. ”
"Big City? How huge? ”
"Well, Chang'an City is so huge......"
"Hey, so powerful? Isn't that the second imperial capital? Hou Ye is amazing, only he dares to do this in the world! ”
A touch of the rising sun and the sun are slanting, as if a round of the sun is drawn behind the young man riding a donkey, the donkey's hooves are rattling, walking leisurely, hundreds of thousands of eyes are interacting with each other, and an inexplicable force quietly breeds, turning into countless faith luck.
Han Yue didn't come alone, he was followed by five thousand Xuanjia Iron Horsemen.
Wei Chi Jingde cautiously rode a horse to follow, observing the surroundings from time to time, for fear that someone would suddenly kill him. Since Han Yue was in distress three days ago, the entire Xuanjia Iron Cavalry has gone crazy and swept through the army, as long as he finds something wrong, he will immediately be arrested and tortured, and the cruelty of the means is even more ruthless than that of the Hundred Cavalry Division.
It turns out that sometimes torture dicks are useless, and the Hidden Dragon Organization seems to have escaped into darkness overnight, except for those two guys, and there is no third abnormal person.
Wei Chi Jingde didn't even find out who recruited these two guys into the army in the first place, as if they appeared out of thin air.
There must still be someone who answers, but unfortunately it can't be found. In desperation, they could only strengthen security, and they followed Hou Ye wherever he went.
In fact, not only the Xuanjia cavalry was protecting, but there were also five old men with soft faces in secret, and these five people were the masters selected by Han Yue from Li Shimin. Three days ago, Han Yue was attacked, revealing the hidden dragon in the army, and on the same day, the emperor suddenly issued an order to drive back to Chang'an.
Li Shimin is gone, the Manchu Dynasty is gone, and the noblewomen of the family are also gone. The emperor took tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, leaving only 5,000 private soldiers for Han Yue, as well as 300,000 people who came one after another.
Early autumn has arrived, and it will soon be winter, and the winter in the northeast is very cold, so Han Yue didn't have the heart to think about the emperor's return to Chang'an, he now has to hurry up the development and do a few big things before the winter comes.
The donkey Lao Bai walked very slowly, but when the road finally arrived, Han Yue slowly passed through the crowd of people and stopped at the gate of the ancient city of Xiangping.
"Hou Ye is good, Hou Ye is so ......"
Along the way, the voices of greetings are endless, and the people are so honest, whoever they like will greet each other with a smile, and whoever they hate will avoid leaving.
Han Yue kept nodding in greeting, he turned over and got off the donkey, and jumped onto a stone platform that had just been built.
"Everyone, everyone is optimistic, I am Han Yue......" Many people noticed that Han Yue took a strange thing from his waist, and then brought it to his mouth, and suddenly a rumbling shout shook all directions.
"Hey, our Hou Ye's voice is so loud!" A common man stood on tiptoe in the distance and looked at it, and finally continued to exclaim: "Hou Ye is Hou Ye, and his voice is higher than that of ordinary people." ”
A common man next to him sneered and said disdainfully: "I don't know, that's because our Hou Ye used an artifact, and the thing he held in his hand was called a tweeter, which could amplify people's voices and make them farther." ”
"How do you know this?"
The people's faces were full of spirit, and they said proudly: "In the past, Hou Ye sat in the mutual market outside the Guanwai, and once set up a treasure trove of points, which contained all kinds of artifact treasures, not to mention high-pitched loudspeakers, and even cannons and muskets. I once earned a lot of points by burning bricks at the mouth of the kiln, and finally gave my doll a Monkey King made of glass. Have you heard of Monkey King? It's the ...... that our lord gave to Princess Jinyang."
"That's a priceless treasure, and this thing can be exchanged?" Another citizen was shocked.
"The small one I changed was only half a foot high, but the price was also very expensive, and some families wanted to buy it for 500 yuan, but Lao Tzu didn't pay attention to him."
Goo, goo!
There was a sound of swallowing saliva around, these people had just been requisitioned from Shandong and Hebei, many people had just heard of Han Yue's name, but they lacked the most intuitive understanding, and everyone pulled the people who spoke and asked: "This old brother, what is your surname?" Listening to your tone, you are a capable person, did you use to live with our marquis? ”
"Aha, that's right, my surname is Liu, everyone calls me Liu Laosan, and Hou Ye's red brick kiln is in charge of our family."
This is a big guy! The eyes of the surrounding people lit up, and several people smiled, lowered their eyebrows and said, "Third Brother Liu, do you say that Hou Ye's points treasure trove is still there?" ”
"Of course the treasure house of the waiting master is still ......there," Liu Laosan snorted, and his eyebrows fluttered: "You wait and see, it's another good opportunity to make a fortune." ”
Seeing that everyone was confused, he explained: "In the past, Hou Ye built the mutual market outside the border, in order to stimulate everyone to work hard, so the points were very generous, and it was difficult to earn points when the mutual market was built. At that time, many people regretted that they wanted to hit the wall, and hated that they didn't work hard when they built the mutual market...... This time, Hou Ye came to the Northeast and made a big move, and I estimate that the reward of points must be indispensable. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, their eyes were shining, and one of them cautiously asked, "Third Brother Liu, I don't know what kind of work is the most profitable?" ”
"Naturally, it's brick burning!" Liu Laosan raised his eyebrows and boasted slightly: "I think I, Liu Laosan, was poor and destitute at the beginning, I didn't eat the last meal before I followed the Hou Ye, the child was born with a disease, and my wife was not in good health, and the life at home was unbearable." ”
When he said this, he sighed, and said with feelings: "Since I followed our family, I only need to sell hard work to burn red bricks every day, and I am not tired of working, but I can earn a lot of points. ”
"Eat meat every day?" A group of people were dumbfounded, and many couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
These people were all recruited from Shandong and Hebei, and the Shandong area is fine, but Hebei is a war-torn place, and it is the most impoverished place in the entire Central Plains. Not to mention eating meat, it is difficult for ordinary people to have a full meal.
According to the statistics of the Tang Household Department in the ninth year of Wude, Hebei starves to death of 10,000 or 20,000 people every year, every village is scarce of men, the fields are barren and artemisia grass, the granary at home starves to death of rats, and the people are easy to eat, which is miserable.
Li Shimin sent Hebei peasants to follow Han Yue, but there was no kind of borrowing, and the emperor wanted to borrow Han Yue's hand to feed these people.
If Hebei is allowed to fall like this, it will really be full of hunger.
